My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 158 After the Old House Caught Fire (8)

Chu Xiang has never been the type to sit and wait for death. When she found out that her companions were unreliable, she had no choice but to rely on herself.

Eugene sprains his ankle after a jog of three steps and is out of breath after a sprint of ten steps. He is completely unreliable. To put it bluntly, he is a burden.

Chu Xiang made a decision after calm thinking, "You just stay here and don't walk around. I'll go outside and find a way to call the police."

Eugene warned with a wry smile, "It's dangerous outside."

"I know, but we have to give it a try. If we keep hiding here, he might come looking for us."

Eugene could see that Chu Xiang was a man of great action. Of course, he had seen many courageous and reckless people over the years, but Chu Xiang was somewhat different from these people.

She was neither too courageous nor too reckless, everything was just in the right place, so when she found there was no other way, she had to force herself to take action.

The thick black fog will gradually devour the lives of all living things.

Chu Xiang's hand was on the door of the phone booth, and Eugene suddenly said, "I'm alone here, what should I do if I encounter danger?"

Chu Xiang turned around and looked at him.

He said seriously: "You are right, I am very weak. If there is any danger, I will not be able to escape."

Eugene looked sincere and there was no falseness in his serious eyes. Although he was tall, his body was extremely fragile and he could fall to the ground at any time due to shortness of breath caused by running.

Chu Xiang's face showed a tangled expression. She tightened and loosened her hand on the door handle. After sighing angrily, she reached out to grab his arm, "Forget it, come with me."

Eugene hesitated again. "Forget it. I don't want to hold you back."

"You're not in good health, and I don't know the way. If we two get together, maybe we can achieve the effect of minus one plus minus one!"

Eugene questioned her statement about his poor health, but gently reminded her, "Minus one plus minus one is minus two."

Chu Xiang choked up a little and glanced at him, "We can't destroy our own prestige at a time like this!"

Eugene suddenly realized, "You are right, what we need right now is blind confidence."

Chu Xiang always felt that sometimes what he said sounded very sarcastic, but his attitude and tone were very good. When he made eye contact with her, he would even smile. He looked like an old gentleman from the last century, and he really didn't seem like someone who would be so sarcastic.

Eugene suddenly gasped and looked at Chu Xiang's hand that was digging into his arm. He wanted to remind her that she shouldn't use all the strength of her nails when helping someone, but the young lady didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Let's leave quickly before that dangerous guy finds us."

Eugene was pulled by her unceremoniously and his head hit the door frame. The crisp sound suddenly echoed in the air, and one could tell from the hearing that he must have been hit hard.

He covered his forehead, "Wait."

Chu Xiang: "I can't wait any longer!"

Eugene grabbed the door frame with one hand to avoid being dragged out by her strength. "Maybe we should try calling the police again."

Chu Xiang leaned back and pulled his arm with both hands, "You can't get through!"

“Maybe I can get through now.”

Chu Xiang looked at him suspiciously. Eugene smiled, "Really, you should try to believe me."

Chu Xiang let go of his hand doubtfully.

Eugene covered his arm that was pulled, and the smile on his face looked a little forced. After a slight sound of bones repositioning, his dislocated arm finally healed.

Under Chu Xiang's gaze, Eugene slowly turned around and dialed the police. After a few beeps, there was still no further movement.

Chu Xiang's gaze gradually changed. In her eyes, Eugene, who swore that he could get through the phone, was just a boaster who was too concerned about his reputation.

Eugene's smile was full of gnashing teeth. He pretended to be calm and said to Chu Xiang: "As you said, the police here are indeed too lax. I wonder if they will be punished if we file a complaint."

The next moment, the call was connected.

"Hello, dear sir, how may I help you?"

Chu Xiang was shocked. She had never experienced the feeling of having the operator respond enthusiastically and positively after she called the police.

Eugene was good-tempered and spoke politely. "Hello, we are being hunted by a terrible killer. He looks very dangerous, and my companions and I are in deep fear. In the foggy night, we can't see our hands in front of us. It's really terrifying. To be honest, we are all quite frightened..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiang had already grabbed the phone and said, "We are being hunted by a murderer. We need help. Please come and save us!"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer.

Chu Xiang looked at Eugene.

Eugene lowered his head gracefully. Chu Xiang put the phone to his left ear and said calmly, "Yes, we need help."

"Yes sir, we will be here to assist you shortly!"

After hanging up the phone, Eugene lowered his eyes and looked at the short girl with a smile. He now looked like a childish child showing off his abilities.

It seems like "See, I can do what you can't do."

Chu Xiang couldn't understand, "Is it because I speak with an accent that he doesn't want to talk to me?"

"Of course not. Your pronunciation is very standard. How lucky you are to be able to talk to such a beautiful lady. I think only ignorant people would regard your heavenly voice as noise that needs no attention."

Chu Xiang felt that he seemed to be being sarcastic to her, but she couldn't produce any evidence.

Since the operator said the police would be here soon, it would be unwise for the two of them to run around now. Chu Xiang had been running nervously for a long time and was tired. She squatted in the corner, hugged her knees with her hands, and suddenly her nose felt itchy, so she covered her mouth and sneezed.

Eugene asked with concern: "Are you cold?"

Chu Xiang glanced at his coat, cleared her throat, and said modestly, "A little bit."

Eugene wrapped his coat tighter and said thankfully, "I'm wearing a coat, so I don't feel cold."

Chu Xiang: "..."

She let herself put aside her beautiful fantasy about this man's existence, and suddenly remembered a very important question, "The operator didn't even ask for our address, how did they know where we were?"
