Chapter 239: Let's Die Together
The teenage girl scraped her delicate skin against the rough concrete ground . However, that bit of pain was long overwhelmed by a stronger surge of pain from her injuries . Rena closed her eyes . She felt a warmth within her nasal cavity . While warm blood dripped from her body, she felt a slight tickling feeling at the side of her mouth . She coughed . A wheezing sound came deep from her chest and she finally managed to inhale a breath of air .
"Why am I still alive? " she thought to herself, perplexed .
At that moment, she focused her eyes on a single faint twinkling star in the dark sky . It felt like a little consolation from heaven . Usually, a person full of energy and drive toward their goal would not notice such minute details .
Rena turned over with much effort and she accidentally tore the large wound between her chest and abdomen . For a second, Rena couldn't even catch her breath . She laid in the darkness without moving for quite some time . She realized that she wasn't dead yet .
Even after Hannie used some sort of Special Item and created a deep large wound around her diaphragm area, she did not die . Her clothes were soaked with blood, that continued dripping from the wound . Her clothes were undamaged . Hannie's attack had damaged her skin, muscles and internal organs bypassing her clothes . If she didn't have her clothes to hold her broken body together, perhaps her guts would already have spilled out from her body .
Rena panted heavily and slowly stood up with her trembling legs .
"I'm still alive . So, is that all you've got?" Rena tried to smile but she looked a little pitiful instead .
Hannie's expression wasn't that fantastic either .
That last attack was supposed to be lethal . It was Hannie's third attack after she activated her [Truth or Dare] ability . In other words, Rena was the requester for the next game round . She sneered, feeling somewhat restlessly, and tightened her hands around her black metal pipe .
"You were supposed to die . This doesn't make sense . " Her eyes glowered cruelly . She wanted to take a look at Rena, but the next round of her [Truth or Dare] had already started so she couldn't move at will .
"Maybe, I am just very tenacious," Rena said softly as she coughed . "It's my turn to be a requester now . "
"Yes," Hannie raised one of her brows . "Before you make your request, I want to tell you something . "
The woman's lips turned upward, showing a smile, "If I attack you one more time, you will definitely die," she spat through her teeth . "Do you have the confidence to kill me with a single request?"
Rena did not say a word . She just breathed strenuously . With her current condition, speaking took a considerable toll on her body .
Hannie made a disdainful sound before keeping quiet and displaying a nasty expression . After a few seconds, she asked, "What will you choose? Truth or Dare?"
"Truth . " Rena was almost whispering, she sounded so weak that her voice was almost inaudible .
Hannie showed a "I knew it" expression on her face and scoffed, "Are you going to ask me questions about the weakness of my ability?"
Rena was momentarily stunned . Her mid-pubescent small face turned visibly white . It was very apparent to Hannie what the girl had planned to do .
"So, Hannie is prepared?" Rena's lips trembled and her body swayed as if she couldn't stand straight . After she lowered her head and thought for some time, she muttered, "Then… I'll still choose Truth . "
Hannie eyed her coldly, "Your question . "
Rena's lips was even paler than her face . She appeared determined to put all her hopes and bets on that single question .
"As the ability owner, you definitely know what circumstances would kill you in a single round! Tell me!"
Hannie's expression turned icy cold . Then, she suddenly laughed mockingly, "Even if you know the answer, do you think you have the chance to execute? If I answer you, I won't die . Instead, you're just going to die earlier . "
Rena panted and did not say a word . She did consider about that . However, even if she was going to die, she just wanted to create an opportunity for her brother and Lin Sanjiu to know that woman's weakness .
Seeing that Rena had no intention to change her request, Hannie scrutinized Rena for a while . She had some suspicions . Her face gradually turned grim, perhaps after wondering why Rena was still not dead . When she opened her mouth, the words she said startled Rena, "I chose not to answer . I don't know what you're planning… But even if you are about to die, I wouldn't reveal things I shouldn't reveal . " Hannie smiled coldly, "You can come attack me . "
Rena did not expect that Hannie would be so tight-lipped so she didn't know what to do momentarily .
"How should I attack her? I'm badly injured and almost at death's door while she's full of vitality… no, if I could kill her with one attack—" Rena quickly ran through all the Special Item she brought along with her in her mind, trying to find for something that was lethal .
"The fly-whisk is more powerful, maybe I should use it—"
Rena's hands froze because she remembered that she was alive, even though she should have died from her injuries . She considered the possibility that the number on her back was related to the reason she was alive . If that was the case, she wasn't sure if the same thing also applied to Hannie .
"You won't die . Get up . You still have 3…" Hannie's words suddenly surfaced in Rena's mind . Rena zoned out for a moment and suddenly realized that her previous logic was all wrong .
She should have thought of that!
The information from Hannie's slip-up already explained more than enough . She wouldn't die because she still had 3 .
If she didn't have 3, but had 2, she probably wouldn't die too because there isn't a large difference . Using this logic, a person would die when the number on their back reached 0 . Following this line of thought, the number on their backs represented some sort of lifebar, or health point .
At the start, Rena remembered that the number on her back was 4 . After Hannie attacked her once, the number became 3 . If she wasn't dead now, it was possible that she had not used up all that number . If Rena wanted to kill Hannie with one attack, she had to reduce the number of Hannie's back to zero with just one try .
However, she had a problem . She didn't know what number was on Hannie's back .
Panting, Rena's body swayed as she approached Hannie weakly and stood in front of the woman . Hannie looked at her coldly without moving an inch .
"If I ask you what's your number, you definitely wouldn't tell me…" the teenage girl placed her hand on the back of her neck . Rena removed a white-colored necklace among the dozens of colorful necklaces she wore . "1, 2, 3…"
She started to count the beads on the necklace .
"There are 20 beads . " Rena looked up and stared at Hannie's darkening face . "No, I should say that there are 20 Ripple Spheres . "
As she said that, the white color paint gradually faded from the pearl-like beads and revealed the Ripple Spheres' original shiny surface .
"No, no! Are you stupid? You can't run away! If you use so many Ripple Sphere so close to you, you will be killed by the explosion!" Hannie's expression changed rapidly . This was the first time she sounded anxious . Due to the restrictions of her ability, she could only deactivate her ability after receiving an attack from Rena .
"It's alright . Let's die together . " Rena smiled faintly and tossed the Ripple Spheres .
