Xie Ning walked out of the room, pulling the door shut behind her.
As the lock CLICKED softly into place, the young woman narrowed her eyes and abruptly looked up at the top of the surrounding wall.
A man was half-hanging there with a gun over his shoulder, poised to straddle the wall.
Xie Ning's sudden upward glance clearly startled him, and the gun stock nearly slipped from his shoulder.
'Holy fucking shit!' the man cursed inwardly.
'Are you kidding me? This girl looks like a student—fair-skinned and completely non-threatening.'
'So why are her senses so sharp that she spotted me on the wall instantly?'
Xie Ning stared coldly at the man half-hanging on the wall.
The next second, a sharp metal spike shot from her hand, piercing directly into the man's calf.
"AARGH!" The man let out a bloodcurdling scream, lost his grip in pain, and fell from the wall, landing flat on his face.
Xie Ning moved with lightning speed, instantly darting to the base of the wall.
