Chapter 423 - Three Perfect Shots

Inside the dark tunnel, Elizabeth has stayed there for almost half an hour. She was really exhaussted that shhe didn't realize she'd fallen asleep. 

"Ah, how long was I asleep for?" She took out the small flip phone and checked the time. Whilst she was checking the time, she realized she hadn't checked the phone contact at all. "I wonder is that b*stard's number is here?"

As she checked the phone contact she was dumbfounded to see how empty it was. "Seriously?"

It made her confuse what the phone was for since it had no contacts at all. However, as she examined the phone further she didn't notice anything suspicious about it. But, it didn't leave her thought that the phone might have a tracking device installed into it. Also, maybe the person knows the number of the phone. 

Elizabeth put the phone away, she was in deep thought on what to do. She thought that if she stayed put sooner or later someone would come for her and she could only think of two people that will definitely know her whereabouts. Either the bastard and her cousin arrive or her father will. For sure her father has restored the tracking system and would soon figure out her current whereabouts. 

Even if that is the outcome, if the person arrives before her father does she'll have a higher chance of finding the professor. For sure that person knows who the professor is seeing this is Scott's estate and for sure he'll know the professor's whereabouts. But the chance that person will listen to her request is null. A big zero!

"Better move on then," In the end, she can only rely on herself. She can't trust those people will ever listen to her and she can't bear the idea of being locked up by her father again. 

Elizabeth started packing her things, she grabbed a small rucksack to pack some extra food, money, clean water and spare clothes. She didn't know when she'd be able to rest and find a place to eat so it was best shee prepare and eat along the way. 

Before finding her way out,Elizabeth looked back at the hideout prepared for her. It was really fitting for someone like her, everything was to her liking. "Better thank that guy if I do see him."

The girl moved like a turtle, slow but precise. She has no recollection of ever finding the way out of the tunnel and she was worried as well if maybe they are trapped (more of ghosts).

Thankfully, the tunnel was not that maze type, there was only one way yet who knows where it leads. It was also dark and she only had a flashlight to light her way making everything unbearable. 

After a while, she finally reached the end of the tunnel. It was really a dead end, no sign of a way out. She already expected such an outcome but she hoped for the best. Somehow, she thought that I'll lead her out since she recalled the guy mentioned that she must survive. 

Elizabeth collapsed on the ground disappointedly, she sat by the wall and took a rest. She's been walking for heaven knows and even has finished a few of the bottle water she brought. It was really cool inside the tunnel but somehow she felt so dehydrated all the time. 

BANG 

BANG 

KA-BOOM

Elizabeth was surprised by the sound of gunfire. What shocked her the most was the fact it was so close as if she was above them. She could hear the men above screaming and yelling, it wasn't that clear but she was sure there were quite a few of them above her.

She got up and eagerly looked for a way out…

The girl started banging on the wall and even started looking for a keyhole or something like a lever to magically open a way out. As she continued to bang on the wall, it started crumbling down as the stone and ground started sliding down. 

The breaking wall brought hope to the girl's face. She smiled as her eyes lit up in delight that there could be a way out. As she continued on, it didn't take long for her to finally hit something… Something which caused her to turn pale and fell on her knees. 

AH!!! 

The girl screamed in horror of what she was seeing. She trembled in fear and couldn't move at all. 

"What should I do?" She wraps her arms around her to comfort herself. She fears she just brought disaster on herself. "How could I…" 

The girl looked up at the opened wall where a dead person's bones laid resting. Because she distrubed a deadman resting place that she'll be curse. If she knew she would have stayed put and have not gone her way. 

As the girl continues to tremble in fear. The corner of her eyes noticed something strange about the skeleton. How could it be so clear when her flashlight was not lighting directly on it. 

It made her curious as she got up and forgot about her fear all of the sudden. Her curiosity has pushed all her worries away behind her head as she went close to it and checked it out. 

It seems that the grave the skeleton is under is broken. Allowing light to enter giving it a clear view of what's inside. 

"Please forgive me…" she said as she grabbed hold of the body and pulled it out. Piece by piece she took the bones out and placed them in one corner together. 

As soon as she clears the grave, she grabs her stuff and climbs inside the grave. It brought such an eerie chill that the hair at the back of her nape was all standing. 

"Ah, curse them." 

Elizabeth realizes that there must have been a clear way out but those bastards that hate her decide to play a prank on her. Knowing her fear she thought they must have planned this. 

Once she got inside, Elizabeth was able to adjust her body into a sitting position. The top part of the grave was made of stone. She moved it around and felt like it could be moved. But it was quite heavy, she feared if she moved it and accidentally pushed it too much it might collapse and alarmed the nearby mercenaries. 

Elizabeth stayed put for a while waiting for the right moment to move the stone cover. 

After awhile…

The sound of gunfire and mercenaries' voices started to fade and turned to whisper. They have moved a few distance away from her. 

Finally, it was the right moment. Elizabeth pushed it as hard as she could as she moved the stone cover enough for her to fit. She could barely move it because of the position she was in. She needed to push it upwards and then move it to the side and it weighed a ton. 

In the end, she could only make a small gap. Her worries that she might push it too much and drop it turned into a joke. She could barely move it…

The whole was enough for her to fit. The girl grabs her staff and throws it out. She then squeezed herself out of the grave, like a newborn trying to make it way out to the world. Challenging but worth it in the end…

Elizabeth was grateful that she's been starving herself for the past few days. Since she could barely eat, she lost quite a lot of her weight. She smiled as she squeezed herself out and only her bottom part was left. She wiggled her lips out and then like a gymnast pulled herself out perfectly. 

Ha-ha…

The girl could contain her happiness as she chuckled in delight for finally escaping. She was laughing so much that tears soon appeared and rolled down her face. 

"I made it…" 

Ha-ha

She continued on laughing but then was put on hold when she realized where she was currently at. 

"F*ck!" Her expression turned pale once again. She just realize that those b*stards had nothing to do with the way it. It was her alone who found it. For right now, she was seated in front of a graveyard. Not only that, there were fresh bodies of the dead mercenaries as well making the scene even more horrific. 

"When will all this end." She curses in regret. Not a single one of her decisions had she not met a horrible end. 

But before the girl could mop further on her situation. She quickly grabbed one of the guns lying around and shot. 

BANG 

BANG 

BANG

Three perfect shots for three dead men. Those men weren't even able to react when they were shot directly at the head. The last thing they saw was the girl looking at them with such cold-bloody eyes. She showed no mercy nor fear as she pulled the trigger and ended their life. 

"Ah-" 

A sense of familiarity when holding a gun triggers a familiar sensation. The smell of blood was also to her liking. "Hmmm." 

An evil smile formed on the girl's lips as her eyes lit in delight as she gazed at the gun in her hand. "Let's have fun."
