Chapter 3075: Escape From a Hiker

Ning Shu didn’t even lift her head as she said, “It’s just me.”

The lawyer let out a sigh of relief and sat down on a rock. “I barely managed to escape from a hiker.”

Ning Shu blinked and asked, “Someone tried to kill you?”

The lawyer nodded. “He wanted to eliminate competition, so he tried to kill me.”

Ning Shu lowered her gaze. The hiker might have been ordered to kill the lawyer.

They were treating people like puppets, toying with them as they pleased.

Earlier, when Ning Shu refused to follow the order to kill the housewife Wu Juan, no further orders had been issued to her.

She glanced at the lawyer who had sat down nearby from the corner of her eye. The fact that he had managed to find her could mean he had been given a mission as well.

Ning Shu suddenly became intrigued. She wondered what kind of order the lawyer had been given regarding her.

A man and a woman. Aside from sexual violence, she couldn’t think of any other form of torment that he could be ordered to carry out.

If the lawyer had received an order, it was likely to assault and then murder her.

Despite these thoughts running wild in her mind, Ning Shu remained expressionless and asked, “Have you encountered anyone else?”

The lawyer shook his head. “Other than the hiker, just you. This island is huge. It’s not easy to run into someone here.”

It was a huge island, yet he just so happened to run into her somehow.

It was likely he had been guided here.

Like in a game, when a player would run into an NPC who would assign them a quest.

And they, real living people, had to follow the tasks given to them.

The more Ning Shu thought about it, the more she felt that this show was truly evil.

She asked, “You’re a lawyer. You should be able to see that something’s off about all this, right?”

The contract they had signed was completely exploitative and unfair.

As a lawyer, there was no way this man hadn’t noticed.

The lawyer spread his hands helplessly. “I had no choice. The organizers didn’t want to end up with any responsibility, so they made us sign a contract like that in advance.”

Ning Shu recalled a law stating that if a contract was too one-sided and unfair, it could be deemed void.

But that law was practically useless. There were unfair contracts everywhere in the world.

“If you knew it was an exploitative contract, why did you still sign up?” The entrustor had been a college student who was no match for someone seasoned in the real world.

The lawyer sighed. “So what if I knew? As a lawyer, I’ve seen far too much darkness. This is just another unfair contract.”

“With ten million, I could start my own law firm.”

Ning Shu observed the lawyer.

His right hand had been fiddling with the button on his shirt sleeve ever since he sat down.

It seemed to be a little habit of his.

Regardless of his intentions, Ning Shu remained calm and merely observed him.

She didn’t think this lawyer was a real threat to her.

She leaned against a tree trunk and watched as a centipede, long and thick as a chopstick, crawled past her.

It had so many legs.

The atmosphere was silent. The lawyer moved closer with his suit jacket.

Ning Shu looked at him, and he handed it to her.

“Sit on this. There are a lot of venomous bugs in the jungle.”

Then, he sat down nearby, closer to Ning Shu than before.

A strong, pungent smell came from him. It was mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The blood scent was subtle, barely noticeable, but Ning Shu used her spiritual consciousness to scan his clothes and found bloodstains on his pants.

Since his pants were black, the stains weren’t obvious.

If her nose weren’t so sharp, she wouldn’t have noticed at all.

The one who died was the hiker, not the lawyer.

The lawyer had survived.

He reached into his pants pocket and took out a few fruits that looked like jujubes. “These are edible. I’ve been relying on them to stave off hunger. Here, have one.”
