Fortunately, there weren’t any skyscrapers within the space. The tallest constructing was the dormitory, and it was 6 flooring tall. If the individual had been to leap off from the highest of that constructing, the end result would’ve been even worse.

Nonetheless, as a main schooler, the sight was completely terrifying.

Ye Xin screamed whereas conserving her eyes shut. Ye Xin tugged on Luo Shuyan, and she or he by accident fell to the ground. It was pure for people to house out in such a scenario. She opened her mouth and stared on the pool of blood on the ground. Simply then, somebody lined her eyes.
