Chu Tian stared at the fresh blood on the ground and the person lying there motionless; his mind went blank, and he stood there, dumbfounded.
Even the movements of the people around him seemed to slow down.
He had never encountered such a scene before; he had only heard about it or seen it on the news.
Each time, a lingering fear would grip him, yet he'd also feel fortunate that it hadn't happened to him.
But when that person, someone so familiar he almost took her for granted, suddenly and abruptly collapsed on the ground, a sense of disbelief welled up from deep within him. He hoped it was all fake, just his own hallucination.
"Has anyone called emergency services?"
"Has the director arrived yet?"
"Does anyone know the phone number of Teacher Xu's agent and assistant?"
"First, let's move Teacher Xu out of here!"
"..."
Listening to the clamor around him, Chu Tian finally snapped back to reality. It felt like a long time, but in truth, only a second or two had passed.
