(How shameful)  

Sheng Fei thought as he was clutching his stomach.

(To think a warrior like me will die because of poison!)

"BLEGH"

Blood came spilling out of his mouth and on to his bed.

“This is why I never drank liquor. But to think you’d be the one to do it”

“It’s for the best”

The figure replied with calm sincerity.

“The worst part is UGH . . . You’re gloating about it . . You couldn’t have just put a sedative in it too?”

A smile slowly appeared on the figure’s face.

“I wanted you to know that it was I who did it. I wanted to watch as a legend dies a pathetic and pitiful death”

“AGH . . . know this, you won’t . . . “

“Won’t what? Win? No I already have. I doubt even you can rise from the dead . . . “

Sheng Fei couldn’t hear the last few words since he finally succumbed to his injuries.

( . . . )

( . . . . . . )

( . . . . . . . . . )

But as he fell to the floor, he gave the traitor the glare that he gave all his enemies.

(To not die in battle, how shameful . . . my life meant nothing then)

With that, Sheng Fei, leader of the Black Phoenix Clan past away.

The death of one of the world’s strongest would lead to chaos no one could have foreseen.

----------------------------------------

 “Shit! Is she dead? I think you put too much in that needle”

“Naw, look! She’s moving . . . a little bit”

“Look you gave her dose you deal with it. I ain’t telling him I lost a girl”

“SHIT!”

“It’s what you get for getting greedy, could’ve just had one of the others!”

“ALRIGHT! I’ll deal with it, help me get a bag from the car”

THUMP

The sound of a door slamming shut shocked Sheng Fei back in to reality.

(What the? Where am I?)

Sheng Fei tried to look around in confusion but he couldn’t.

He could only see a fuzzy scene in front of him and he felt extremely tired.

(W . . Who are you?)

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

A girl’s voice responded to Sheng Fei but it wasn’t one that he could hear.

This voice sounded like it came from his head.

(Is there someone else here?)

(Y . .Ye . .Yes me, please help me. I . I can’t . . too weak)

(I see . . . this is your body)

(Please . . . I don’t . . . want . . to . . . die . . not . like this)

(Of course, I can save us but these people . . . they’ll have to be eliminated)

( . . . anything)

(ARRGGHH)

Suddenly all the senses he once had, rushed back to Sheng Fei.

He had taken control of a girl’s body.

There was a needle in their arm so Sheng Fei removed it.

But he found that their hand was shaking a lot.

He looked around and saw that this was a dirty basement.

It looked like it was night from the small window.

There were handcuffs on the floor next to a water pipe with a lot scratches.

Sheng Fei saw that there marks on their wrists from the cuffs.

The mattress behind them was dirty and many syringes were strewn around it.

He breathed in and raked their nails across their thighs.

(TCH!)

The pain from the scratches helped to take the edge off a little but they were still shaking a lot.

Soon the sound of footsteps above them could be heard.

When he noticed them, Sheng Fei quickly gathered some of the needles around them.

He also took the cuffs and ran to hide under the wooden basement steps.

The man ran halfway down the wooden steps before he noticed that the girl was missing.

“What the?”

“RAAHHH”

Without a second thought, Sheng Fei jammed the needles he held in their hand in to the man’s right knee.

“AAARRGHH!?”

The man moved in reflex and tripped down the stairs.

Sheng Fei quickly moved and swung the metal cuffs at the downed man.

“GAAAHHHH”

The man’s right eye had been hit.

“YOU BITCH!”

The man was enraged and moved his right hand to cover his right eye.

He used his free arm to reach for Sheng Fei and tried to lunge at them.

But Sheng Fei accounted for this and shoved more needles in to the man’s reaching palm.

“NGHH!!! YOU’RE DEAD”

The man took his hand off his eye and reached for something at his hip.

Sheng Fei moved and swung the cuffs again.

This time the man’s knuckles were hit and he dropped his weapon.

In the same movement, Sheng Fei also kicked the back of the man’s knee, where the needles had pierced before.

The man finally collapsed to the floor and Sheng Fei cuffed his hands behind his back.

No sooner then he picked up the man’s knife did he hear footsteps running away from the top of the stairs.

Sheng Fei quickly raced to the top of the stairs to take care of the other man.

BANG

A bullet narrowly missed Sheng Fei and he dove in to the kitchen that was near the basement entrance.

The other man was around a corner in the living room from what Sheng Fei could figure from the direction of the shot. 

“GET OUT HERE SO I CAN FUCKING KILL YOU!”

BANG

BANG

The man shot two random shots in to Sheng Fei’s general direction.

Sheng Fei thought of a plan and prayed that it would work.

He grabbed a pan from the counter that he was crouched behind and threw it.

BANG

The other man shot at it as it flew in to the living room.

(I see, so you’re really jumpy huh?) Sheng Fei thought.

Sheng Fei grabbed more pans and flung them towards the living room.

BANG

BANG

BANG

As the man unloaded his bullets at the kitchen, Sheng Fei seized the opportunity and quietly sneaked to the wall.

He moved until he was right at the edge of the corner.

The man finally got fed up and decided to rush the kitchen to kill Sheng Fei.

But as soon as he walked past the corner.

“ARGH!”

BANG

Sheng Fei swung the other man’s knife, which had serrated edges, at this man’s wrist.

The force of the slash mixed with surprise caused a shot to ring out at the ceiling.

In his other hand, Sheng Fei had a knife that he grabbed from the kitchen.

This knife went in to the man’s stomach.

STAB

STAB

STAB

SLICE

Sheng Fei quickly delivered three more blows to the man’s stomach and finished with a slice to the neck.

“U . .  U . u . uGhhh”

Blood started to flow out of his neck and started to form a pool under him.

BANG

Sheng Fei grabbed the man’s gun and finished him off so that his death wasn’t long.

UUUUUWWWWOOOOOOOO

The sound of sirens rang out in the distance.

(Took the cops long enough)

Sheng Fei wasn’t sure if he was disappointed or relieved that the police took this long to arrive.

He quickly wiped all the objects that their fingerprints might be on.

The needle that was in their arm was grabbed and the gun’s bullets were ejected on to the floor.

As soon as Sheng Fei got out of the basement again, he heard the police start to break down the door.

He ran to the back door and felt a familiar feeling when he saw a hoodie on a chair.

He grabbed the hoodie and ran off in to the night.
