Chapter 3

After returning to the dormitory, Shen Liang checked the scratches all over her body in the mirror, put on a faded sweatshirt and jeans, and went to the place where she was going to work part-time.

She found the girl who sent her the meeting address.

In a dark alley, a man with short hair, wearing a business suit and glasses was already waiting for her.

"Hello, classmate Shen Liang, I'm Rossli." She stretched out her hand, "Are you really 16 years old?"

Shen Liang took out his right hand from his sweater pocket: "You have no age limit when recruiting workers."

Rosli thought for a while: "Then you come with me first."

Shen Liang followed Rossli, turning left and right in the alley where he couldn't see anything, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous door.

Behind the door is a staircase leading to the underground illuminated by various lights.

Shen Liang looked back at Rossli: "Underground?"

Ross smiled gently: "Yes, go ahead."

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally walked down the stairs as if he had made up his mind.

"Five hundred federal dollars an hour?"

Rossley: "Yeah, that's the lowest price."

There was a musty smell in the long stairs. Shen Liang sniffed and quickened his pace.

basement.

In the long corridor, there are offices and equipment rooms with all open doors on the left, and a heavy metal double door on the right.

Shen Liang was curious: "Where is this?"

Rosli closed the entrance and exit in the alley through the mechanism. She pushed up her glasses and smiled: "Colosseum."

A chill ran down Shen Liang's spine.

"Sparring training?" she questioned, "You call this sparring training?"

Rossli: "A sparring partner who trains with the star beast. The hourly salary is five hundred federal coins. As long as you can survive the star beast's attack for more than an hour, you will win."

Shen Liang: "Let me go. I have the life to make or spend the money."

Rossley: "It's late. But I can apply for a little extra bonus for you."

Shen Liang still wanted to leave, but two strong men with weapons walked out of the office and blocked Shen Liang's way.

It was possible to survive going to the Colosseum, but escaping would only lead to death.

Shen Liang was helpless, and she took the switchblade handed to her by Rossli.

The blade popped out, and Shen Liang scratched the wall with the knife, causing the wall to fall off.

This switchblade was sharper than the one Xia Lu lent her in the afternoon.

The heavy double doors slowly opened, and Shen Liang was driven into the Colosseum like a zombie.

Overhead are scorching white lights, surrounded by spectators protected by metal mesh.They were roaring as if they had lost their minds, and the irritating sound waves hit the eardrums and soon gave people a splitting headache.

Shen Liang stood in the empty Colosseum, with intricately patterned floor tiles under his feet.She found a little dried and black blood in the cracks of the floor tile pattern.

The tip of her shoe rubbed against the blood, and the blood was gone.

"It's a child!"

"It's so fucking unlucky. I'm here to spend money to see individual mecha soldiers, not to see little brats."

"That's right. Doesn't the Federation have individual mecha soldiers? What's so exciting about a brat fighting a star beast?"

"Refund! Refund! Refund!"

The little girl with black hair and golden eyes stood there, looking at the audience around her in confusion, not understanding why they were so excited.

"Look at her, she's so scared!"

Shen Liang was really scared.She wiped the cold sweat from her palms on her jeans and took out the switchblade from her trouser pocket.

She approached the double-open metal door of the Colosseum. A lifting metal door slowly rose up, and a python in a metal cage appeared in the cold field of vision.

A large screen slowly lowered from the central dome of the Colosseum - "A-level human with mental power versus A-level star beast with mental power."

Then came the introduction of Shen Liang and the two-headed python.

After Shen Liang learned that this star beast had killed more than a dozen A-level mecha soldiers, she became even more panicked.

The star beast was released from its cage.

The audience in the Colosseum was excited. Shen Liang held the switchblade tightly with one hand and his sweatshirt with the other hand. He couldn't help but curse those inhumane guys in a low voice.

The contents of the nightmare came to her mind.

The three-story star beast slowly approached, and Shen Liang was forced to retreat. She raised her head and met the star beast's bloodthirsty eyes, and she suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

The audience was laughing loudly: "Hit her! Beat her!"

Shen Liang didn't know whether the "ta" in the audience's mouth was referring to himself or the star beast.

The star beast launched an attack, and Shen Liang dodged the venom spit out by the two-headed python and ran around holding his head.

There were boos from the audience.

The star beast opened its mouth.Walking towards Shen Liang.

It wanted to bite Shen Liang to death.

Shen Liang, who was squatting beside the metal mesh and panting from exhaustion, looked up and saw the bloody mouth of the star beast.

There was a fishy smell emanating from its mouth. Shen Liang looked at the little blood stained between the star beast's teeth and had no time to think.

She jumped up and climbed up the metal mesh protecting the audience at great speed.

The two-headed python still didn't give up biting her.Shen Liang hung on the metal net, dodging left and right flexibly. The star beast became furious and began to hit the metal net crazily.

There were screams of fear from the audience, and Shen Liang chuckled and made a face towards the audience.

What kind of person can come to see this kind of performance?
She even wanted the Star Beast to break through the metal net and then wipe out all the spectators in the auditorium...

The star beast spit out venom here. Shen Liang wanted to avoid it, but spikes slowly extended from the metal net.

Her reaction was a little slow, and the venom stained her sweatshirt. The venom corroded a hole in her already faded sweatshirt.

Shen Liang freed up a hand, and while taking off the sweatshirt that was accidentally stained with venom, she jumped to a higher place on the metal net.Wearing only a sports vest, she ignored the fact that her palms were pricked with sharp thorns and were bloody. She hung on the metal net with one hand and threw the poison-stained sweatshirt on one of the Star Beast's heads with her backhand.

The star beast was blocked from view, and shouts came from the audience: "Kill it, kill it..."

Shen Liang seemed as if he hadn't heard anything.She climbed higher on the metal net on her hands and knees, and finally hung her hands on the dome of the Colosseum——

A place where star beasts cannot attack.

After she stopped, she felt the smell of blood in her respiratory tract.The wounds on her hands were painful, but she still clung to the metal mesh covered with spikes.

She looked up at the countdown on the big screen.

5 minutes left.

She lowered her head and watched the star beast scurry around helplessly and furiously in the Colosseum. Its soft body and tail hit the metal mesh covered with barbs, leaving wounds that were deep enough to show the bones.

The venom of the giant python sprayed into the auditorium, and the audience in the auditorium was in chaos. Many injured audience members had been carried out by the staff.

3 minutes.

The remaining spectators in the auditorium were in high spirits, and they encouraged Shen Liang to jump from the dome of the Colosseum.

Shen Liang hung on the dome, breathing heavily, and took out the switchblade Rossli gave her from her pocket.

The washed jeans were inevitably stained with blood.

1 minutes.

Shen Liang hung on the dome, watching the star beast attack the audience with great interest.

Ten seconds left.

The spikes on the metal mesh suddenly retracted!
Shen Liang had no time to react and fell from the metal net.

Below him is the abyssal mouth of the star beast; around him are the audience who have lost their minds.
