Chapter 67: A Solution Has Been Found
Ang and Sander were gone for almost half an hour.

There was nothing unusual in the cave.

There was nothing outside the cave either.

Hela was pleased and ordered them to come in, and removed the barrier around the cave entrance.

……

……

Scarlett ate three bowls of rice in a row, almost stuffing herself to death. When she looked up, before she could catch her breath, she saw Hela take out the beast-transformation potion, put it on the table, and push it in front of her. "Want to play together?"

Scarlett knew this was yet another test from Hela.

People who live on the edge don't easily trust others.

She needs to be tested repeatedly.

Scarlett glanced at the animal-shaped serum, smiled calmly, and took it in her hand. "Okay."

Hela asked Scarlett to choose someone to inject.

Scarlett looked at them one by one.

None of the three were in good condition. When Evelyn met her gaze, her lips were pale and her face was calm.

Bella and Shirley's resentment surged up. Ignoring their weakness, they glared at her fiercely, their beautiful faces filled with anger, as if she were the culprit. They used their eyes as knives, desperately stabbing at her, trying to kill her.

Scarlett pursed her lips, her brow furrowing slightly.

At most, she was an accomplice.

Scarlett was timid, so she chose the weakest one, Evelyn.

She feared that if she chose someone else, they would resist and crash into her head, taking her down with them.

Evelyn lay on the ground, barely breathing. She looked at the beast-shaped potion in Scarlett's hand, her lips trembling as if she were smiling, yet not quite.

There was still congealed bloodstain at the corner of her mouth, its crimson color conveying a sense of desolation amidst its beauty.

Evelyn probably guessed that she was about to die.

She was seriously injured, and after this dose of the beast-form injection, she will probably soon transform into a beast.

it's a pity.

In the end, nothing can be done.

She closed her eyes, accepting this moment of death with composure.

"sorry."

Scarlett opened the animal-shaped serum, revealed the needle, and injected it into Evelyn's body, whispering an apology.

"It's ok."

Evelyn smiled, a gentle smile flashing across her serene face.

She had never met Scarlett.

But she remembered Scarlett's voice.

She was the female protagonist who saved her and Eugene in the shelter.

Unfortunately.

She doesn't even have the strength to say thank you now.

If only I had met him sooner.

At least there's something she can still do for her.

Not like now.

He was left with only a broken body, barely clinging to life, without even the chance to repay his benefactor.

After the animal-shaped injection was administered, Scarlett stood up. Before she could catch her breath, a dagger was flashed in front of her, followed by a clear, sharp voice.

"Kill her."

Scarlett was startled and looked into Hella's eyes in response to the sound.

His phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of ruthlessness in his heroic spirit, and he was staring at her intently.

Scarlett took a step back. "Huh?"

Hela pushed the dagger forward and repeated, "Kill her."

"why?"

Scarlett took another step back, her face slightly pale.

This time, after she stepped back, Ang and Sander came over and stood beside her, watching her movements.

Their faces were expressionless, but their eyes were particularly gloomy, and when they looked at her, it was as if a layer of frost covered her.

Hela said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I just want a pledge of loyalty. I know you're not a simple person, and I don't need you to do anything. Anyway, she's going to die, so why don't you give her a quick death?"

Hela gripped the dagger in reverse, placing the hilt into Scarlett's hand, her fingers intertwining with Scarlett's to make her hold the dagger firmly. "If you kill her, I'll definitely take you out tomorrow. I mean what I say."

Scarlett looked up blankly, then looked down helplessly at the dagger in her hand.

Hela was very close to her; she could easily stab Hela in the abdomen with her arm outstretched. With luck, she could kill her; with bad luck, she could at least wound her.

But none of this can guarantee that she will escape unscathed.

We still have to endure it.

Scarlett hesitated for a few seconds.

Finally, he gripped the dagger tightly, approached Evelyn, and with a flash of light from the blade, slashed towards Bella and Sherry's eyes.

Bella scolded, "Shen Sijia, you're not allowed to touch her!"

Shirley roared, "If you dare kill her, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Although the two men were tied up and at a disadvantage, they were still very aggressive, and their voices were sharper than the dagger in her hand, almost piercing her eardrums.

Scarlett rolled her eyes at each of them, "You should mind your own business. You can't even take care of yourselves, yet you're trying to be heroes."

She reached out and pinched Evelyn's cheek, raised her chin, and said disdainfully, "So what if I touched her? Come and hit me if you dare!"

"you!"

Bella choked on her words, unable to speak for a long time.

Given her current situation, she really can't do anything to her!

"And you."

Scarlett glared at Shirley. "Don't yell at me. I hate it when people yell at me."

Her tone turned menacing, and she threatened, "Otherwise, I'll kill her first, then you! We'll see who tears whom to pieces!"

"Shen Sijia!"

Shirley was so nauseous that she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

If she hadn't been tied up, she would have definitely killed Shen Sijia to vent her anger!

Scarlett never wastes her energy internally. After arguing with the person, she felt much better and turned to look at Evelyn.

The other person had their eyes closed, was breathing very little and exhaling a lot, and was clearly about to die.

She picked up the dagger, held it against Evelyn's neck, thought for a moment, and then felt something was wrong. She moved the dagger towards Evelyn's heart, pressing the pointed end firmly against her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still felt something was wrong and moved the dagger back to Evelyn's neck.

But he didn't make a move; he just stared at Evelyn's neck for almost a minute.

Seeing that she hadn't made a move yet, Hela assumed she was stalling for time and asked with a forced smile, "Do you want me to help you?"

"Okay."

Scarlett raised the dagger, her face full of sincerity.

Hela had originally intended to make a sarcastic remark to Scarlett, but she didn't expect Scarlett to agree so quickly and hand her the dagger.

She hesitated for a few seconds, staring intently at the dagger.

Scarlett's face was full of sincerity, and her tone was also very earnest, "I'm sorry, I've never killed anyone..."

While talking.

Evelyn transformed back into her animal form.

A sleek orange cat.

Scarlett concealed the horror in her eyes and continued, "I've never killed a cat before, so I don't know how to do it. You should do it. I can pay you an extra ten million as a fee for your trouble."

Scarlett thought Hela would hesitate, and that this test would be enough as long as she saw Hela's sincerity.

did not expect.

Hela took the dagger and stabbed Evelyn in the abdomen with remarkable fluidity, as swiftly and decisively as if she had killed a rabbit.

But this time.

She didn't succeed.

Scarlett stopped him.

Scarlett didn't know what she was thinking, but the moment the dagger flashed its cold light, she reached out and gripped the sharp blade tightly.

She knew she shouldn't have done that.

She and Evelyn were complete strangers, and she didn't even know them. There was no reason for her to put herself in danger for a stranger.

But when she came to her senses, she had already done it.

She didn't want anyone else to die in front of her.

The blade sliced ​​through her hand, and bright red blood dripped onto the orange kitten. The kitten, barely alive, whimpered, opened its eyes, and then weakly closed them again, its breathing very even.

When Bella and Shirley saw this, they looked at Scarlett in bewilderment. Shock surged in their hearts like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next, pressing down on their chests and making it hard for them to breathe.

Their brows furrowed, their gazes fixed on Scarlett's pale yet resolute face, their fragmented eyes contracting and expanding in shock and disbelief.

I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Hela raised her slender eyebrows, glanced at Scarlett's hand, and asked feigning ignorance, "What do you mean?"
