Chapter 255

Ning Chen and Zhang Xiao below both plummeted downward!

Above, the Husky saw this scene and began to bark "Woof woof woof" toward the bottom.

This Husky did not bark like this usually.

It usually said "Woo wa woo wa."

Ning Chen looked up, gazing toward the top.

He saw that the rope hanging on the sharp edge of a rock above had already rotted open in one section, bursting into a large circle of fibrous fuzz, and that fuzz was being wetted by the water current passing from the side.

Ning Chen looked down.

Below, Zhang Xiao was looking upward.

She also saw the torn section of the rope.

From her eyes, Ning Chen saw panic.

"Do not be afraid." Ning Chen's voice was very soft.

"Right now, you must stabilize your body as much as possible and try not to let the rope swing too wildly; do you understand?" Ning Chen said.

Zhang Xiao nodded hard.

She began to move her body downward carefully.

But she moved less than two meters.

The entire rope dropped downward again!

This time, the torn section was left with only a handful of rope fibers still connected.

As long as this rope continued to support such weight.

The entire rope would surely break!

"Stop for now!" Ning Chen's voice.

Zhang Xiao hung motionless below.

She was still more than twenty meters above the bottom.

And below was a large area of rubble.

At this height, falling down meant death.

Zhang Xiao looked up, gazing at Ning Chen not far above.

The torn section of the rope hung by a thread; even hanging motionless on the rope, it could not hold much longer.

Ning Chen raised his hand, and a black blade appeared in it.

He tentatively tried to insert the blade into the rock wall on the side.

If it got stuck, it would be enough to serve as a new support point, and then everything could be saved.

But the rope dropped downward again!

Zhang Xiao below looked at Ning Chen above; her face was pale.

Ning Chen was still struggling to swing his body and insert the knife to the side!

"Big brother!" Zhang Xiao's voice came from below, "Do not move! Otherwise the rope will definitely break!"

Ning Chen's action stopped.

A surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart.

But the rope suddenly began to tremble.

Ning Chen looked down and actually saw.

The little girl had pulled that fruit knife from her pocket—that was the fruit knife held by the boy who bullied her that night!

At this moment, Zhang Xiao held the fruit knife and, like a madman, was cutting the rope above her!

"What are you doing?! You little brat!!" Ning Chen shouted in anger.

This scene stunned the audience in the live broadcast room.

They had never heard Ning Chen get so angry before!

But that little girl...

She actually wanted to cut the rope above.

If she really cut it, she would fall straight down, and below was a field of rubble!

She...

Actually wanted to sacrifice herself.

To reduce the weight on the rope.

So that Ning Chen above could survive!

"Stop! Are you deaf?! You little brat!" Ning Chen's voice came from above.

But that little girl, as if she had not heard Ning Chen's voice, cut the rope above her with the frenzy of someone racing against time!

178. Did you watch too many such TV dramas at the Fuli Academy before?

Above, rubble fell.

Ning Chen looked up, gazing toward the top.

The rope above could barely hold on.

He looked down; that little girl only wanted to cut the rope as quickly as possible.

She believed that cutting the rope and letting herself fall would reduce the rope's weight.

In this way, at least one of the two could survive.

But.

Things should not be like this.

Since Ning Chen could make this decision, it showed he was confident.

If something unexpected truly occurred.

He could use the black knife in his hand to fix the person's burden of the two of them in place again!

But now he could no longer make Zhang Xiao believe this.

"Wait a moment, listen to me!"

Ning Chen's voice came from above.

Hearing this voice.

The fruit knife in Zhang Xiao's hand finally stopped.

The little girl raised her head and looked upward.

Ning Chen saw that her small face was pale.

Her big eyes, with long eyelashes, were already streaked with tears.

She must have thought she could not survive.

Ning Chen raised his hand toward her to comfort her.

"Listen to me—the rope can still hold for a while. Don't move first, okay?"

Ning Chen wanted to stabilize Zhang Xiao first.

He did not want this girl to die for him.

He did not want others to die for him.

In this world, he owed only one person.

That was Si Shiya.

For this, he had long made up his mind to repay with his whole life.

Besides that, he did not want to owe anyone.

Zhang Xiao looked up, gazing at Ning Chen.

Her expression suddenly calmed down.

Then, Ning Chen heard her voice, trembling slightly.

"Big brother..."

"Before, after you left, they came to find me. They told me about that incident from two and a half years ago."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry..."

"I never meant for things to be like that."
