Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1743: Chapter 1002: Assault

"Miss Sakura, what happened?" Jiu Shan Shayue squatted beside her to ask, her tone gentle, trying not to agitate her.

But what nobody expected was that Sakurai Miyuki suddenly stood up as if she’d gone mad, shoving Jiu Shan Shayue aside, then turning to run toward the emergency exit, seemingly trying to escape. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Yang Xiao reacted swiftly, grabbing toward Sakurai Miyuki, but unfortunately only managing to tear off her jacket. Determined, Yang Xiao threw away the jacket and chased after her; he knew well that if Sakurai Miyuki managed to escape tonight, everyone would be in trouble.

Due to the positioning, someone was quicker than Yang Xiao. Just as Sakurai Miyuki dashed into the other corridor, she was caught up by someone, a figure rushing in to tackle her directly.

It was Shibuki Naoko. That woman’s movements were exceptionally fast and her technique was deft. Sakurai Miyuki, who was tackled, tried to struggle, but Shibuki Naoko swiftly landed two punches and pinned Sakurai Miyuki’s arms behind her back, pressing one knee onto her, keeping her firmly under control.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; by the time the others arrived, Sakurai Miyuki was already fully subdued. Soon, the others who heard the commotion also arrived, including those who were inspecting the room.

"Let me go! I... I don’t want to stay here! I want to go home!!" Sakurai Miyuki cried out loudly, her voice heart-rending, echoing throughout the hotel, sounding distorted after reverberating for a long time, as if another "Sakurai Miyuki" was mimicking her from afar.

"Miss Sakura, don’t be afraid, we’re all here. What exactly did you see?" The violinist Takagi Sayo tried to communicate with Sakurai Miyuki, attempting to calm her down.

"Let me go! Let me go!!" Sakurai Miyuki screamed like she was insane, even opening her mouth wide attempting to bite.

"Damn it..." Hasegawa Hideji, who already had little patience, couldn’t take it anymore. He picked up the glass ashtray in his hand, promptly pushing Takagi Sayo aside, and swung it up, aiming to hit Sakurai Miyuki on the head.

But at that moment, someone intervened. Tong Han blocked Hasegawa Hideji’s arm, using a Tai Chi Pushing Hands move to force Hasegawa Hideji back. Taking this opportunity, Sakurai Miyuki climbed up again trying to run, but in the next second, Tong Han grabbed her hair and pulled her back, pinning her against the wall, and slapped her sharply twice.

"Cry and scream again and you’ll get more!" After 7 or 8 consecutive slaps, Sakurai Miyuki stopped shouting and crying, her eyes cleared up considerably, but her face was swollen terribly.

"What did you just see? Don’t make me ask a second time, or... you’ll get more slaps!" Tong Han was not a patient person either. With a background of an Evil Cultivator, she had been striving to restrain herself over the years.

No one present thought Tong Han’s handling was inappropriate, including Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao could see clearly that although Tong Han seemed to be harsh, she was actually saving Sakurai Miyuki’s life; otherwise, in Hasegawa Hideji’s hands, Sakurai Miyuki would be lucky to retain half her life.

The quality of this batch of newcomers was too poor; such a person wouldn’t survive long even if allowed to stay, and would drag down others in the process, something Yang Xiao absolutely cannot tolerate.

Tong Han’s attempts at transformation had an immediate effect; Sakurai Miyuki stopped crying or causing a scene, obediently recounting the strange incident she encountered earlier.

It turned out that not long ago, Sakurai Miyuki in the guest room suddenly heard a sound, like footsteps.

At first, it didn’t seem strange because she had heard it twice not long ago, and she knew that the plan tonight involved teammates posing as security personnel for night patrol.

But this time, the footsteps were different; they were hopping, as if someone was hopping on one leg, and... coming from upstairs.

But who would come out hopping on one leg in the middle of the night instead of staying in their room? Thinking of this image made Sakurai Miyuki feel extremely eerie.

The footsteps did not start directly overhead; they sounded like they were in the corridor but soon got closer to her, unmistakably approaching, then stopping.

Sakurai Miyuki instinctively held her breath, then heard a "creak", which was the sound of a door being opened, followed by more hopping sounds.

"Thunk"

"Thunk"

"Thunk"

This time Sakurai Miyuki heard clearly, terrified to look up; the hopping sound had reached directly above her, in the room right overhead!

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

A dull thumping sound came from upstairs, as if someone was using something heavy, or their head to strike the cabinet door. Each thump sent Sakurai Miyuki trembling all over, she wanted to flee but didn’t dare.

Soon, the thumping sound upstairs stopped, the footsteps vanished, and silence fell.

Sakurai Miyuki didn’t dare to breathe deeply, after a while, just as she was slightly relieved, an unexpected occurrence happened; the cabinet behind her suddenly went "boom boom", and the sliding doors shook as if something inside was trying to burst through the cabinet doors.

This sudden change nearly killed Sakurai Miyuki from fright; she let out a howl, her legs weak, clinging to the wall, escaping out in a soulless daze, running ahead with her soul trailing behind.

"Did you see what was in the cabinet?" Kato Atsushi quickly asked.

"No... I... I didn’t see anything." Sakurai Miyuki recalled the scene from a while ago, her eyes still filled with fear.

"Did any of you hear strange noises?" Jiu Shan Shayue looked at Kato Atsushi, who was residing on the same floor as Sakurai Miyuki.
