Su Ci Yi tried the fashionable robe that Qin Tao handed. As she walked out of the cubicle and looked at her overall appearance, she was stunned. It was surprisingly fit for her! She really was like a cultivator being cut out straight from the wuxia novels. Her appearance from back there was not different from her now. Though this face looks weak & pale.
Qin Tao signs a thumbs up on her overall get up.
Su Ci Yi decided to buy it!
As soon as she was about to return inside the cubicle and took it off, she observed that people's behavior seems odd. Aside from the obvious whispering and worried face, she saw that some of them are running towards the entrance.
Su Ci Yi's curiosity triggered and she also went outside to where there are crowded people. Just that she didn't expect that there are already a lot of patrol & police cars along the way. People's head was staring at one direction and that was atop the mall's building. When she looked up, she saw a person. The silhouette was very clear to her, the person was trying to jump down from up there.
Holy Crap! That was dangerous.
"What is she doing!" Right at this moment, Su Ci Yi heard a high pitch familiar voice.
And there she goes, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiang Mo Mo still clinging to Huan Ro with a look of fake concern on her face.
Huan Ro acted like he was dialing something in a panic. Just then he saw Su Ci Yi look at him. Su Ci Yi returned her attention to the person above. So what if he saw her looking at him! Is it wrong to look at a person?!
Disregarding her chaotic thought, she focused her attention on the girl. Su Ci Yi's eyesight was a lot clearer than any other human being. Her eyes widen seeing the familiar black mist surrounding the girl. Just like what she saw from the man he confronted earlier.
And anything Su Ci Yi saw that is connected with dark arts, she will not let it pass.
Hastily she let herself pass the crowded group of people and went back inside. It was also a coincidence that Huan Ro saw her just before she leaves.
His feet immediately caught towards her thinking that her mental illness was attacking again.
"Xiao Ro!" Xiang Mo Mo shouted to him a few times but didn't turn, so she quickly followed him through running.
Su Ci Yi's beautiful robe flutters along with the wind and air as she dashed with her inhuman speed. Using an elevator was a hassle for her and decided to take the staircase.
Huan Ro saw through her motive to go upstairs and decided to take the fastest route taking the elevator hoping to arrive there before her.
But in just a few seconds, Su Ci Yi reached the attic. She stepped up under the scourging sunlight and walked straight ahead on the person at the edge of the twenty-storey building.
She was the first one who confronted the girl, though she can hear footsteps of some people going to her direction.
The girl was back-facing her. Her attention seems far off as a dark mist continue to enveloped her. Her half feet was now dangling in the air and any moment she would gonna fall.
The people below who were looking was gasping in fear and worrisome, thinking why the rescue team was so slow.
The two elevators that were supposed to go up, had faced a temporary shut down. Making the people inside more panic. Among the suppose to be rescuer who try to go up was Huan Ro, stock among the people, he can't help but be irritated. Xiang Mo Mo was also afraid and tense while clinging to him.
On the other hand...
Su Ci Yi was a little inch closer to the girl. Her steps were silent as she approached the back of her. She forced out some of her qi and channels it through the girl's nape.
She can see the dark aura fighting over her qi, but hers was just so strong that it was forced out from her. Now, Su Ci Yi didn't let it escape again.
She took a massive amount of her spiritual energy then cast it, the black mist was encircled by her qi as it struggles to escape. Soon little by little, it became weak, slowly it disintegrated and swallowed by her qi.
It was so easy to deal with since the amount of dark energy was less. Should it be more then she will be having a hard time and difficulty in extracting it.
Now that the source of the black energy was gone, she reverted back her attention to the human medium, however...
Holy F*ck!
The girl was not in front of her now! Su Ci Yi looked down and saw the girl falling straight to the ground. Sh*t!
If she let it happen, then her pride & dignity as an Qing Ling Sect disciple was on the line.
But if she really let this happen in this world, Su Ci Yi will be the suspect of murder given the fact that she's the last person who was with the victim before the time of her death.
Without hesitation, Su Ci Yi jumped down to rescue the girl.
Some people took their chance to close their eyes, not wanting to see a horrible death.
But as soon as they looked up again, there was no one who falls to the ground!
Was it just only their imagination?
***
This time, the elevator regained its normal operation. Huan Ro stepped out and went to the rooftop but saw no one. He immediately went near the hanging edge of the building and look below the twenty feet fall.
They didn't jump off, aren't they?
"Someone must have come and saved the girl. Glad that there are no casualties." Everyone sighs in relief as they went back one by one.
Huan Ro took the staircase down.
As soon as he went down, he bumped into a man who happened to have a motive of rescuing the girl. "Hey hey hey! Did that woman rescued already? Sh*t, if that damn elevator didn't break I should have arrived here a little earlier."
Huan Ro's eyebrow twitch in confusion "Sir, you didn't meet someone along the way up here?"
The man irked in irritation while panting "Who would gonna use the staircase? Even myself, an *nth storey building is not something a normal person should take. I even took a military training yet I'm sweating bullets here! "
