I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 830 - : Distance
Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Distance
Du Lai was slightly stunned. “Why?”
Bai Youwei said, “First, if it’s nearby, it can signal the location of the teleportation point when we’re panicking and running blindly. Second, when collecting keys, there’s no need to search the entire labyrinth; we only need to go through the teleportation point to retrieve all the keys.”
Everyone looked at each other and had no objection.
“Then… let’s retreat.”
…
No matter how they looked at it, every Stone Chamber was identical. They could only advance or retreat based on Bai Youwei’s estimates.
...
They retreated one space east and then advanced one north, with the teleportation point to their right, when suddenly they heard the Minotaur’s voice—
The sound wasn’t quiet; it must have been only a few Stone Chambers away to the north.
The Minotaur had clearly been to their west before, so why had it suddenly appeared to the north?
“It seems to have used a teleportation point…” Bai Youwei drew on the map, “Based on our movements today, we’ve moved six spaces. If the Minotaur wanted to reach the nearest teleportation point, it would need to travel two spaces, which means it went through the teleportation point and then walked another four…”
Asarina asked her, “Can we avoid it?”
“We can retreat one space east to reach the teleportation point or head west to the first teleportation point we encountered.” Bai Youwei looked at everyone for their opinions, “What do you think? East or west?”
Du Lai asked, “Where does the teleportation point to the east lead?”
Bai Youwei shook her head. “I don’t know.”
“And the one to the west?”
Bai Youwei pondered for a moment and replied, “The Minotaur could run to the north of us, which means the original teleportation point leads to the north of the labyrinth… probably the northeast corner.”
“Let’s go west then; at least we can predict the location of the next teleportation point,” Du Lai suggested.
Bai Youwei looked to the others.
They all agreed.
They moved one space west, and immediately heavy footsteps came from the adjacent Stone Chamber!
The Minotaur was following!
It was closer to them than they had thought!
The expressions on everyone’s faces changed; they continued moving forward as the Minotaur kept up.
Its horns scraped against the solid stone walls, its breathing came through the iron doors, those footsteps echoing as if they were shaking the ground on their side.
Being this close felt as if it could burst through the door at any moment!
Everyone was cloaked in an urgent tension, their scalps tingling, with no choice but to clench their teeth and keep moving forward.
With every door they passed, the door beside them would open as well, following closely! They couldn’t shake it off!
After moving six spaces, Bai Youwei checked the map and counted the rooms, then told everyone, “After passing two more Stone Chambers, we can enter the teleportation point.”
“No… I can’t do it anymore…” Mark, who was at the back, trembled in the legs, his voice tinged with a sob, “I can’t walk anymore…”
Dylan’s reaction was even more dramatic, fainting on the spot!
Bai Youwei looked at the others; Shen Mo, Leonid, and Du Lai all looked strained, and Asarina was clutching her abdomen with a pale face.
Being too close to the Minotaur seemed to cause certain effects.
Now, only she and Chen Hui seemed the least affected.

“Damn it…” Leonid frowned, rubbing his stomach, “I just had some bread, how can I be hungry again so quickly…”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment then said, “Everyone, hang in there a bit longer. Once we’re in the teleportation point and have put some distance between us and the Minotaur, it shouldn’t be so tough.”
Everyone nodded and continued to follow her forward. Dylan couldn’t walk, so Mark carried him.
They persisted for two more spaces and finally entered the teleportation point. Though it was the same Stone Chamber as before, the sound of the Minotaur vanished instantly.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Chen Hui, still shaken, asked Bai Youwei, “Could it follow us through the teleportation?”
“I’m not sure…” Bai Youwei looked around and sighed softly, “But as long as we don’t move, it probably can’t either… Let’s rest here for now.”
