Chapter 44
Diana’s pov
In contrast to Nathan, Victor scored 2500 points, ranking first so far.
It was even noted that he broke the record and achieved the highest score in history.
Victor took me to return the pistols. As he passed by Nathan, he showed a disdainful expression
simr to Nathan’s before.
“Perhaps my talent is not as high as yours. But Alpha Nathan, it’s obvious that my IQ is a bit higher
than yours.”
Victor grinned.
“Don’t becent.” As soon as Victor finished speaking, Avia immediately defended Nathan. “…
That’s because we were in a hurry and didn’t read the rules, otherwise Nathan would have had a
higher score than you!”
Victor let out a cold snort.
“This shooting range won’t run. Why are you so urgent?”
“Because…”
Avia opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself.
But after stuttering for a long time, she didn’t squeeze a word, but instead red at me with a fierce
expression.
It was like they ignored the rules entirely because of me.
I felt absurd. What did this have to do with me?
I frowned irritably and said to Victor, “Let’s go return the pistols. Don’t waste time on them.”
“You’re right,” Victor nodded and walked away with me.
After returning the pistols, Victor smiled at me and a hint of cunning shed in his eyes.
“Bow your head,” he said to me.
I blinked my eyes. Although I didn’t understand why he asked me to lower my head, I did so.
Victor revealed his right hand hidden behind his back.
In his palm, I saw a delicate moon hairpin.
Victor carefully pinned the hairpin onto my hair and praised, “You look beautiful. I
new this hairpin was perfect for you.”
as a bit surprised and touched the hairpin on my head, asking, “When did you buy it?”
“I didn’t buy it. The staff said I broke the record, so I could choose a souvenir to take
with me. I think this hairpin is the best ”
“Thank you.”
Besides ‘thank you‘, I didn’t know what to say to Victor.
Victor smiled and said, “Let’s go to the next game.”
Next to Witch Park was a horror–themed zombie hospital, where visitors could experience thrilling
escape games.
Victor raised an eyebrow at me and said, “Enter or not?”
“I’m totally fine, but are you okay? I remember when you were a child, you were. always scared to
cry in those ces!”
“It was a long time ago.” Victor’s earlobes slightly turned red. “I’m not afraid of those things now.”
“Really?” I looked at Victor skeptically.
Victor held my hand and pushed open the rusty iron door of the hospital.
“Diana, I think it’s time for you to get to know me again. Today, I must let you remove my image of a
crying baby from your mind. I…”
Victor’s voice suddenly stopped.
I noticed that his hand holding me was trembling slightly.
“Aren’t you afraid?” I looked at Victor.
‘No, I’m not! Of course not.” Victor forced a smile.
The atmosphere inside the hospital waspletely different from outside.
There were only rusty wallmps emitting an eerie green light in the long corridor. The ground was
sticky, as if there was blood. The air was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant, and even the
stench of corpses.
Victor and I continued walking along the corridor.
Along the way, everything was quiet except for the sound of footsteps.
Victor breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought it would be terrifying. It’s not a big deal”
“Are you sure?” I asked as I stared at Victor’s back.
Victor frowned slightly and his eyes were confused.
The next second, a gray hand suddenlynded on his shoulder.
Victor’s body froze instantly.
“Dia, Diana, is there any, anything behind me?”
I resisted the urge tough and shook my head, “No, nothing.”
Victor gritted his teeth.
“Little scammer!” He whispered, took my hand, and quickly ran away.
Moran wildly all the way, only to be blocked by a group of zombies.
Victor kicked open the door on his side and led me inside.
We were all sweating. But before we could breathe a sigh of relief, we found three headless
zombies slowly wriggling towards us in the room.
Victor and I exchanged a nce, turned around tacitly, and pushed the door open
with force.
A bloody skull fell from the ceiling and rolled down at Victor’s feet.
Victor was stunned for two seconds, but couldn’t hold back and let out a “wow“.
I almostughed out loud because of Victor’s reaction.
“Didn’t you say you’re not afraid?”
“I’m not afraid,” Victor closed his eyes tightly. “I just… just…”
“You’re just not ready” I made an excuse for Victor.
In order not to undermine Victor’s confidence, I tried my best to suppress myughter and quickly
left this ce with him.
At this moment, another zombie rushed towards us,
I suddenly stopped and was about to change direction when the fierce zombie suddenly showed a
hint of confusion.
Immediately after, he was thrown out by a strong force.
With a scream from the zombie, I saw Nathan standing in front of me with his hands
in his pockets and a cold expression on his face.
He first looked disdainfully at Victor hiding behind me, and then his gaze slowly fell on my face,
furrowing his brow.
“Is it that scary?” he asked, “You even cried”
“Ah?”
I was stunned for two seconds before I realized the meaning behind Nathan’s words.
Because I had been trying to hold back myughter, tears oozed from the corners of my eyes.
But Nathan thought I was scared to cry because I was afraid of zombies.
“No, you misunderstood. My tears are –”
Before I could finish speaking, a sharp fist came towards me.
Nathan punched away a zombie who was hiding behind me and wanted to attack. “Alright, don’t cry.
I’ll take you out,” he said expressionlessly, trying to hold my hand, but I dodged.
“Are you insane?” I widened my eyes and looked at him in amazement.
Nathan seemedpletely unable to understand my response.
He frowned and said, “I helped you. You didn’t appreciate me, but cursed me in return?”
“I don’t need your help! Who told you I was scared?”
“You’re crying!” he emphasized.
I didn’t want to exin to him, so I turned around and walked towards the zombie that Nathan
Bunched on the wall.
“Are you okay?!! I helped.

“I don’t need your help! Who told you I was scared?”
“You’re crying!” he emphasized.
I didn’t want to exin to him, so I turned around and walked towards the zombie that Nathan
punched on the wall.
“Are you okay?” I helped him up and asked.

I stared at Nathan and said, “Don’t you know these zombies are all yed by staff? Why are you
hitting them?”
“I’m here to protect you!”
“I don’t need your protection!” I shouted.
