Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 90: In trouble

Senja sucked in cold breath upon seeing the even that unfold before her eyes. He poisoned Gu Xie to death! From the beginning until the end, the black robe man back was facing her, thus she couldn't see his face.

Finally Senja's legs gave away. With a soft 'thud', she sat on the ground.

Unfortunately, he heard that soft sound rendered he briskly opened the door and found out someone with black outfit and black face mask sat on the ground. The eyes in front of him exude tense however his focus was at turban on the other people head. There was a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

Senja heart lurched to the ground when that man opened the door. They were stared at each other for a good second before abruptly he moved forward with intension to strangle her. He didn't know who the other party was, but since they saw what happened earlier on then, they must be silence.

He didn't bring any weapon with him to finish off Gu Xie, because it would raised suspicion if the cause of his death was from sharp object nor he brought extra pill. However, with any method he has to silence this person.

Thanks to Senja's good reflect, her body was move to the other side to avoid his grip before her brain could think of the situation. She was very nimble to eschew danger.

Now there was 5 meters distance between both of them.

Senja grew cautious and anxious, the black robe man in front of her was wearing the same black face mask like her hence she couldn't identify his identity. Was he someone from military or an intruder?

There was an increased uproar from the outside, it seemed the fire on the stables has take into action that caused all the horses went rampant. All the people were going crazy chasing after ran away horses.

While Senja condition didn't look any better. Both party calculated and stared at each other, no one dare to slack off.

The black robe man didn't dare to make any progress when he saw Senja movement, so did Senja, she knew her ability pretty well. Even though she could escape the fatal blow from before but to mention fight head on she was very incompetence. Her body was flexible enough to move and reflexive enough to respond to sudden action however she wasn't a combat type!

Senja hold the pen-sized needle on her right hand, this was the only protection she has. Her mind worked fast to think of way how to escape this man without exposed herself nor drew attention from people outside, it would be troublesome if they found out she was here inside the jail with the dead Gu Xie and this unknown person, not to mention Xiao Tianyou suspicion, she was being here was already suspicious enough. She wouldn't get it easy if she is found out now.

The entrance was behind her, if she fast enough to run out side, she could get away from him much easier. With that in mind and needle on her hands, she took a swing to run.

Abruptly Senja turn back and started to run with all her might however she hadn't run too far before that man chased her by jumping high over her head. In no time he was already in front of her again, blocking her escaped path.

Senja's jaw almost drops. How could be he is able to jump that high?! Is he could fly also?!
