Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin slowly turned their heads to find Tian Tian trembling as she raised a knife. Tears streamed down her face, her expression deeply conflicted. She looked like she didn’t want to die, but didn’t want to live either.
“I… I…”
Tian Tian’s lips quivered as she spoke.
“I have a way…”
“Hey…”
Qiao Jiajin reached out, slowly rising to his feet.
“I know you have a way, but put the knife down first.”
Qi Xia also stood and carefully approached Tian Tian.
“Your way won’t work… listen to me first…”
“Don’t come closer…”
Tian Tian took a step back.
“I’m sorry, this is all I can do…”
“No!”
Qiao Jiajin cut in.
“I just checked the size of that hole. Even if you cut off your hand, you can’t throw it out! We’d need time to chop your hand into pieces! And we don’t have time!”
Qi Xia swallowed and said to Tian Tian, “Qiao Jiajin is right. What you’re doing is useless.”
“But you can’t even cut through the iron mesh!”
