“Help!
“Police, hurry up and answer the phone Help”
Gregory ran wildly in the scenic area. As he ran, he took out his phone and called the police. He was nervous, terrified, and afraid.
He had figured it out. He would rather tu
die.
self in and tell everyone what he had done. He would rather go to jail than
Being alive was more important than anything else.
However, the reception in this scenic area wasn’t very good. Coupled with his nervousness and panic, he called the wrong number.
He called ‘918″ instead of “911”
“Damn it!”
Gregory cursed under his breath when he realized that he had called the wrong number and hung up the phone in a hurry. He wanted to call the police again.
No matter what happened, it would not be wrong to contact the police when he was in danger.
However, because he had to look down at his phone, he knocked a trash can in the scenic area to the ground with a clang. He almost fell to the ground himself
“Oh no!”
Gregory’s expression changed drastically as cold sweat dripped down his face.
Making such a sound in the dead of night was equivalent to exposing his location.
He quickly turned around.
As expected, the masked killer had already walked over.
Gregory was extremely terrilied. He ran wildly toward the top of Hartsworth
Hartsworth was built on a huge mountain. A river that ran through two or three cities happened to flow through here, forming a huge waterfall.
It was precisely because of this that it became a scenic area. Many people came here to see the waterfall, drift down the river. play, and so on.
Gregory fled in a panic, terrified. He ran wherever there was light.
However, he was a rich playboy. He spent his days eating, drinking, and fooling around. He could not accomplish something. as physical as climbing the mountain. He was already panting from exhaustion halfway up the mountain. His legs were sore and he could not move.
He heard the killer’s footsteps and became even more nervous. He used all his strength to climb upward.
However, his strength did not allow him to do so. After climbing three steps, he was so tired that he could not move anymore. He sat on the ground and panted.
He looked at the bottom of the steps, then at the waterfall beyond the railing. He gritted his teeth, his gaze desperate.
It was over.
He couldn’t move and he was on a cliff. The killer was below.
This was a hopeless situation.
Worst of all, even in the dead of night when there were no tourists, there were still street lamps in this lousy scenic area.
He could not hide at all under the illumination of the street lamps.
Gregory held his phone, wanting to call the police again.
However, before the call connected, the masked killer had already arrived not far from him. He shattered his phone with at single shot and the phone fell off the cliff into the rapid river below the waterfall.
Subsequently, the killer aimed his gun at Gregory.
“Why?”
Gregory’s pupils contracted. Now that he was experiencing extreme despair, he was no longer as afraid. Instead, he was furious and roared, “I followed his instructions. Why does Philip Labenz want to kill me!
“And you, if you work for him, he will kill you in the future!”
“Kill me? Hehe, Philip doesn’t have the guts or the ability, the killer replied with a cold smile. Gregory’s expression changed. “Who exactly are you?”
To be able to say such words, it meant that this person’s status was higher than Philip!
“You’re about to die. Why do you need to know so much?” The masked killer smiled sinisterly.
“Tm about to die. It’s not too much for you to fulfill my dying wish, right?” Gregory said.
The killer sneered. His gaze was cold as he said, “You want to know, right? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
With that, he took off his mask and revealed his true appearance.
Upon seeing this person. Gregory’s pupils violently constricted as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world. He said in shock. “How is this possible? H-how could it be you?”
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, the killer had already fired his gun. He hit Gregory’s heart with one shot, causing him to spit out blood.
The force of the impact threw him backward, over the railing, and down toward the waterfall.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The killer seemed to be still worried. He fired five shots in a row, and each shot hit Gregory’s body, causing blood to splatter.
In the end. Gregory fell into the river below the waterfall. With a loud bang, he disappeared without a trace.
The killer put his mask back on and stared at the waterfall and river for a long time with a gaze as cold as a knife.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Philip’s number. He said coldly. “It’s settled.”
“Are you sure he’s dead? Did you make sure? Philip asked.
“One shot to the heart, one to the lungs, and a few others to the abdomen and thighs. Do you think he’s dead?”
“You missed his head?”
The killer was silent.
The killer was silent for two seconds before he said angrily. “Will you stop yapping? I hit his heart and lungs. Do you think he’s still alive?”
“Don’t be angry. I’m just trying to make sure. Hitting the head is the safest way.”
“Then I’ll shoot you in the heart and see if you die,”
