Salena's schedule had been very busy recently, and it would be a waste not to make good use of this rare day off.
Su Yan wouldn't accompany her.
So she came out to wander around by herself.
Strolling through the square on Colonel Commercial Street, Salena pouted, feeling a little angry: "He actually refused me.
He's so prideful.
If I had known, I wouldn't have come. I should have gone to New York instead; at least... it would be a bit livelier."
Oklahoma is still small.
Around the commercial street, there is the Cowboy Culture Museum, which is the largest museum in the US, along with an art gallery and some sunken gardens. The scenery is nice.
But.
These are all daytime activities.
There aren't many things to do at night. The district is Bohemian style, featuring several galleries and a sort of cowboy culture.
Under the glow of the neon lights at night, it has its own charm.
There aren't too many tourists at night, which is fine, because... games are usually played in the evening.
There are still many fans, just like Salena, who come to the commercial street area to wander, eat, and drink after the game.
It's quite lively.
As she walked, someone recognized Salena and excitedly ran over, hoping to get an autograph and a photo.
Playing alone is somewhat lacking.
Salena agreed, and then... more and more fans gathered, making the area quite lively.
To those unaware,
it looked like some kind of event was taking place.
The signing lasted for about half an hour. Salena, who had been standing the whole time, felt a bit tired, so she thanked everyone and stopped signing.
The fans understood.
After expressing their gratitude, they scattered to enjoy themselves, no longer disturbing Salena.
When Salena was once again alone in the square, watching the couples come and go, she felt a sense of loneliness and solitude.
Then... anger.
"Hmph~ I actively invited him, and he actually refused! Couldn't he just go back tomorrow?!
Did he have to refuse me?!
Not only could I have joined him for a late-night snack, but maybe I could have fantasized about something more happening.
He refused even that?!
Who does he think he is?!"
The more Salena thought about it, the angrier she got. If she had Su Yan's phone number, she would call him right now to demand an explanation.
Why didn't he join me for a late-night snack, leaving me alone on the street to brave the cold wind.
Hmm~ Women are strange creatures who get inexplicably angry like this.
Just then.
"Ah~"
Accompanied by a miserable scream, chaos erupted.
In the square directly in front of Salena, people could be seen chasing others, many were running away, and many more were screaming.
Quite a few people were running toward Salena's direction.
As if dodging something.
Someone screamed while running: "There's a maniac up ahead, indiscriminately stabbing people with a knife! Run, everyone, run!"
Buzz~
Salena's heart tightened when she heard that.
Usually, she has bodyguards, or at least an assistant accompanying her. Tonight was a rare night off, and she came out alone to wander.
She didn't expect to run into something like this.
Although Oklahoma is a small city, its public safety has always been considered quite good.
Who would have thought there'd be such a lunatic here?
Salena quickly moved, keeping her distance. At a time like this, a killer wouldn't spare her just because she was a female celebrity.
Up ahead.
The protagonist of this frenzy was a Black man with a scar on his left cheek, who could be called the "Scar Man."
For unknown reasons, he was holding a fruit knife, estimated to be 40 centimeters long, chasing people indiscriminately while roaring in fury.
He stabbed anyone close by.
He stabbed anyone who ran.
In short: he stabbed anyone he saw.
Fast, agile men all managed to dodge, but some physically weaker girls,
once targeted by the Scar Man, could barely escape.
The previous miserable scream was from a girl who had been caught, stabbed once in the back and once in the abdomen.
She quickly lay in a pool of blood, her fate uncertain.
Obviously,
that girl was not his enemy. After stabbing her, the Scar Man quickly looked for his next target.
This was purely an act of revenge against society.
Immediately... with the Scar Man at the center, everyone in the square scattered, desperately fleeing for their lives.
Even the men fled.
Although some young men looked stronger than the Scar Man, the other man had a knife and was genuinely stabbing people.
There was nothing they could do.
Even if the probability of winning was seventy percent, most people wouldn't be willing to take the risk.
If it doesn't concern you, ignore it.
As long as they were safe, everything was fine.
After escaping the direction of the Scar Man's pursuit, some immediately called the police and the hospital.
Although the crowd in the square wasn't huge, it was still less than the foot traffic around an arena of New York's caliber.
But there were actually quite a few people.
The Scar Man's indiscriminate attacks were extremely dangerous.
In just one minute, there were already several victims, mostly women, but some men too.
"Die, all of you!!!"
As if insane.
The Scar Man roared as he stabbed, and his direction of pursuit was exactly where Salena was.
"Shit!"
Salena cursed loudly and hurriedly hid.
The Scar Man was chasing a young man, and after losing him, his eyes just happened to land on... Salena.
"You're so beautiful, but I can't have you, so nobody else is going to either! Die, all of you!!!"
The Scar Man roared, his eyes bloodshot with murderous intent.
Waving the fruit knife already stained red with blood, he charged straight at Salena.
His speed was very fast.
Salena was just a delicate woman; how could she outrun the Scar Man? The distance between them was rapidly closing, and he was about to catch up.
"Salena, watch out!"
"Be careful, Salena!"
"Run! Run into that store next door!"
Many people nearby shouted warnings, including fans who had just asked her for autographs.
But.
No one actually rushed up to help her.
Not a single person.
When disaster strikes, everyone looks out for themselves.
Although she was a beloved female star, and they even fantasized about something happening with her, they were indifferent when faced with death.
There was no choice.
If they saved their favorite female star only to die themselves, anyone would feel it wasn't worth it.
That's why.
People who can truly act bravely, without fear of death, are all "heroes" and deserve respect and praise.
"Bastard, get away from Salena!"
A relatively close young man picked up a chair from outside a coffee shop and threw it, attempting to drive him away!
"Bang!"
The chair hit the Scar Man squarely on the back.
"Hiss..."
The Scar Man winced in pain, twitching his mouth, and glanced back fiercely, "Who dares to hit me?
Don't rush.
After I kill this seductive woman, I'll come back and kill all of you!!!"
Amidst his roar.
The Scar Man had already caught up behind Salena, raised the long knife, and fiercely stabbed toward Salena's back.
"Oh, no!"
"It's over!"
Countless men and women covered their heads, filled with despair.
They really didn't want to see Salena get hurt, but they didn't dare risk their lives to save her.
"Ah~"
Salena also fell to the ground while screaming in fear. Fortunately... she dodged the Scar Man's strike.
"Die, you bitch!"
The Scar Man lunged forward with another ferocious stab, aiming viciously at Salena's chest, showing no mercy.
A pure psycho killer.
"Ah~"
Salena was terrified. Her survival instinct made her quickly dodge to the side, falling prone on the ground.
She evaded danger once again.
But her arm was cut, and blood immediately flowed out, running down her wrist to her palm.
"Stop struggling!"
Seeing that his two attacks had failed, the Scar Man became even more enraged. He lunged forward again, landing right in front of Salena.
Leaving her nowhere to run!
"Go die!"
The Scar Man once again swung the blood-red fruit knife, stabbing down viciously toward Salena's chest.
Buzz~
Salena's eyes widened. Unable to escape any longer, she closed her eyes
, sinking into despair!!!
