Xiao Ning watched as the originally lush huge tree above her slowly shedded all of its leaves before her eyes.
She originally wanted to hold a falling leaf but before she could touch it, a heavy wind blew it making it crack into pieces as if it had decayed for ages.
As the heavy wind blew away, Xiao Ning quickly stood up, seeing five balloons gradually descending towards her.
As the balloon drew closer, she could clearly see a gas mask tied to it.
As Xiao Ning reached out for the balloons, taking them, a bearded man and a woman holding a stick with a very thin body came into view.
"Little sister, why don't you share your masks with us and we can let you join our little team~?"
The bearded man's face was covered with a gas mask making his voice a little metallic while the gas-masked woman stared at the mask in her hand greedily.
Even though Xiao Ning had a knife hidden in the knots of her underwear that could be used to scare these people away.
She couldn't let any one of them go.
Noah, her and Doctor Wei exactly needed three marks yet the trial provided her with one. As if...telling her to kill both of her 'teammates to live'.
When the bearded man saw Xiao Ning slowly retreat towards the tree and that no teammates or such showed up to help her.
His eyes shone with greed: This weak woman is alone and without a weapon!
Xiao Ning slowly retreated, if she can, she shouldnt or cant show her 'murderous self' in front of her good teammates.
Watching the man come towards her, she spoke:
"I have a child..a child..please..please go away!"
"Don't worry, I can help you and your child, come on, give me the mask!"
The man abruptly ran towards Xiao Ning discovering the hole near the tree, he couldn't let her escape!
He immediately took out a scalpel from his pocket attempting to scare Xiao Ning, he didn't have the courage to kill a human.
His sin to be here was the massacre of animals, 2180 exact pets of every house he went to work for. Hehe, those little bastards.
.....
Xiao Ning: "..." Fuck, with all the noise she's making where the fuck is the Doctor!
Seeing that her plan of letting Doctor Wei kill the man fail, she decided to kill the man before the bearded man could kill her.
If a person saw him running towards them with a scalpel, they would immediately give up the thing he wanted or run away..but this woman stood- stood even when the scalpel was about to reach her neck.
"Last chance! Give me the mask..-"
"Pooch..."
The bearded man instinctively realized that something was wrong, he looked down causing his eyes to widen.
A silver knife was inserted into his chest.
The thin woman was shocked, without the bearded man..she won't survive!
The thin woman angrily ran towards Xiao Ning, I will drag you, his killer to death with him!
But, it was too late.
With both hands holding the handle of the knife stuck into the bearded man's chest, a swift pull of 'pooch' was heard again.
Before the sound of the knife being removed from the man's chest could reach the woman's ears.
The woman already had the knife inserted in her throat.
"Thump.."
Two bodies slowly fell, followed by the leaking blood of the man's chest as his heart was pierced and the woman's as the knife had gone through her central nervous system, immediately killing her.
Being a janitor isn't easy without good arm strength, sigh! Who would tell these two idiots that she also worked as a half-time chef.
Xiao Ning was about to drag the corpses away from the entrance of the hole when a 'thud' was heard behind her.
A tall handsome woman with snow-white hair now stood diagonally behind Xiao Ning with a cold smile:
"Give me the mask."
Xiao Ning was of course startled when she saw Doctor Wei appear so suddenly and naturally even more seeing the corpse leg she was holding.
Xiao Ning obediently handed over one of the masks she currently had. She estimated that the little boy Noah could use the dead bearded man's and she could use the dead woman's.
Xiao Ning's mind darkened but her face still retained a full ark smile. Fuck. This woman was probably watching her from somewhere or even waiting for her to die- therefore, collecting all the three masks for herself.
Before Xiao Ning could think more, a childish voice came from behind Shu Wei: "Brother Max, what's that in your hands~ Give me! Give me!"
"Hehe. Why don't you help me carry this body first?" Faced with the extremely creepy smile of Xiao Ning and the bloody corpse in her hands, Noah suddenly understood the situation.
Noah: Brother Max killed these two people and Sister Robin is helping her clean! Huh? Sister Robin killed them? Pfft. She's like a dumb cow!
"Sister Robin, you have two masks in your hands, Give me one! Didn't I tell Brother Max that you went out so that he could help you!"
Saying this, Noah successfully got himself a life-saving mask and a smack on the head from Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning: So it was you, asshole.
The air around them was getting more and more sticky as if filled with gasoline causing her lungs to burn with every breath.
Xiao Ning felt that there was no use hiding these corpses instead she should wear the dead woman's mask.
She even ate from the dumpsters when she first arrived in the US in her previous life, there was no shame in wearing a corpse mask!
The moment Xiao Ning wore it, instead of a pale parchment, a slightly bloody parchment appeared in front of her.

Xiao Ning frowned ignoring the hint of her killing the two people before.
At this moment, she needed to move towards the oxygen halo as quickly as possible to survive.
Although Noah was childish and loud and Doctor Wei was indifferent this didn't stop the both of them from seeing the situation they were in.
With Xiao Ning's effort, one big one who had a stinky face now and a cheerful small one were covered with mud and leaves.
They all each stuffed some herbs in their pockets ready to set off from their tree hole.
At this time, the charming voice of the woman from the stage sounded.
