The man who lunged fell to the ground but quickly pulled out a dagger from behind him. He shouted something in a language Song Fan didn’t understand, glaring viciously in the woman’s direction even though Song Fan had subdued him.

“Enough!” Song Fan grabbed the man’s knife and struck him hard on the neck with the handle. The man finally went silent, unconscious.

Although subduing the man took only a few seconds, when Song Fan looked up, the woman was gone.

“Boss, you go after her. I’ll watch him,” Cao Lei hurriedly removed the rope from his waist, sounding excited. His hanging rope was finally useful.

But Song Fan didn’t move. She was assessing whether Cao Lei would kill the man and join the slaughter.

Cao Lei, perceptive of her worries, quickly reassured her, “Boss, don’t worry. Alone, I’m just cannon fodder. I’m betting on you and would never betray you.”

Song Fan nodded and chased after the woman.

The woman, though agile, lacked Song Fan’s combat experience and was caught and tied up within five minutes.

Seeing her return so quickly, Cao Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He ran over obsequiously, “Boss, want a smoke? I just remembered I have a pack in my supplies.”

Song Fan glanced at him, and he quickly understood it was a no, then carefully pocketed the cigarettes again.

Up close, Song Fan noticed the woman already had bloodstains on her and had collected several eyeballs.

“How many people have you killed? No wonder you’re so ruthless.” Song Fan’s tone was calm, without fear or mockery.

The woman glared at her, “Stop pretending to be a good person. Winner takes all. I admit defeat.”

“Watched too many dramas?” Song Fan was speechless. This woman didn’t seem insane, but she wasn’t quite right either.

Seeing the woman’s unyielding attitude, Cao Lei got angry, “My boss is talking to you! Are you deaf? Are you crazy?”

Seeing Cao Lei’s petty triumphant look, Song Fan didn’t want to waste words, “Tell her the situation.”

Seizing the opportunity, Cao Lei exaggerated his story of meeting Song Fan and being subdued by her, making Song Fan’s eyelid twitch several times.

But the woman remained silent.

Song Fan stared at her. She roughly understood the normal people’s situation on the island. They impulsively agreed to the slaughter but regretted it once the killing began. She believed most still wanted to escape rather than die for a vague prize.

After a long silence, the woman finally spoke, “What’s your plan?”

She hinted at joining them, but Song Fan didn’t answer her question, “That’s none of your business. You kill without blinking, I don’t trust you.”

The woman was taken aback. She knew Song Fan had meant to recruit her. Whether to escape or win the competition, they needed her. So what did she mean by not trusting her?

Song Fan continued, “You moved cautiously, always finding cover. Were you a soldier or trained specially?”

The woman was momentarily speechless but then hardened her tone, “Not killing means waiting to be killed.”

“Everyone has to fight eventually, so practice now to avoid hesitation later.”

Her voice trembled, but her tone was firm, “I’ve killed already. One or several, it’s the same. Maybe I’ll win the competition. If not, it’s okay. Killing one is a gain, and I’ve killed many, so I’ve gained.”

Hearing her flawed logic, Song Fan realized there wasn’t much to argue against.

But she sensed the woman’s worry, “There’s no surveillance here, so there’s no live broadcast for any rich big shots. It’s just slaughter, and even the final prize might be fake. Do you still want to continue?”

The woman lowered her head in silence. She had realized something was wrong after killing the first person.

If it were truly as those people said, a rich big shot’s entertainment project should be like in movies, with cameras and supplies everywhere. But she found nothing—just killing and waiting to be killed.

After thinking for a while, she said, “I don’t know, but I need the money.”

Recalling why Cao Lei was sent to the island, Song Fan asked, “Do you have any grudges with the Brown Group? Or with anyone from the Brown family?”

“Brown Group? How could that be?” The woman was visibly startled.
