MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 52
Following Li Xi's silence, the room fell into silence again. Everyone quietly listened to the sound of feet scrambling and heavy breathing when the monster walked outside, and a few times they even felt that they were close at hand, as if they would break into the door in the next second.
They held their breath without making a sound.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sound outside became smaller and smaller. In the end, it disappeared completely, and there was no sound at all.
Duan Zhen cautiously lifted a corner of the curtain to look out, but suddenly met a pair of eyes.
He clenched the curtain tightly, and saw countless pairs of eyes through the gap—those monsters were all attached to the window at some point, and their eyes were staring at them.
If it was an ordinary tasker, he would have screamed and fled desperately in fright, but Duan Zhen was keenly aware of something wrong, so he took two steps back and simply pulled down the curtain.
"Ah!" A tasker jumped back and forth in fright at this terrifying and grotesque scene.
"They can't come in." Duan Zhen said.
He walked a few steps to the side, and those eyeballs turned to that side following his movements. Because they had to stick to the windows, the bodies of the monsters twisted into strange shapes. Saliva dripped down the window, and their sharp and bloodshot teeth could even be seen.
"Damn it!" Xia Qirong was also terrified by this scene, "They are going to have a heart attack."
"What shall we do next?" Sun Le asked: "They can't come in now, but I don't know how long this protection will last."
"See if there are other exit passages." Duan Zhen frowned, looking at Li Xi: "Do you have any solution?"
"Don't worry about them." Li Xi recovered from his own thoughts, and said casually: "They've come in, just kill them. Although there are a little more in number, it's not very difficult for you."
"These people used to be citizens of the dukedom." Duan Zhen said, "I think the royal family didn't just attack your father, they also destroyed this place, didn't they?"
During this period of time, he has been thinking about where the anxiety in his heart came from. Combined with the fact that when Li Xi did not recover his memory, he used magic power to the point of exhaustion in order to protect the people. It can be known that he is full of responsibility for the people in the territory.
"If I kill them all, will you really be happy?" Duan Zhen stared at Li Xi, "Those people turned your people into undead and monsters just to let you kill them with your own hands, again and again, No matter how determined people are, they will collapse in this repetition."
"You are right, so you need to do it." Li Xi blinked: "If you kill them, I will be fine."
"But those people are still being killed in your eyes." Duan Zhen said: "The best way is to hide until they return to their normal form."
Li Xi moved his brows, and his rosy lips were inadvertently pursed. He didn't refute, but waved his hands as if he was tired of arguing: "Whatever you think, anyway, it's not me who will die then."
He hugged it with both hands, his slightly fluffy curly hair trembled because of the movement: "Where do you want to hide?"
"There are two possibilities. When the sunlight completely disappears, the restrictions on monsters will be reduced, and they can rush into the house. Another possibility is that when the sunlight completely disappears, the monsters will also disappear and become normal humans." Duan Zhenyu quickly analyzed, then turned to look at Li Xi, and said, "Think about it carefully, are you really in an illusion now?"
Li Xi was startled.
In fact, he had already remembered some things. He was not idle when he was silent just now, and checked his body with magic power, and found several restraints in it. It seems that the breath was made by Hewlett. He broke open a few of them casually, and checked his brain again, and found that the memory had indeed been tampered with.
I don't know why Hewlett did this... Could it be that he finally planned to attack him? But they have lived in peace for so many years, and with that guy's character, he wouldn't join forces with humans to kill him. He really couldn't think of a reason for Hewlett to do so.
There is also Duan Zhen, who inexplicably gave him a sense of intimacy, and searched the current memory but found nothing.
If you have time, it is better to find an opportunity to correct the tampered memory.
"There is a basement here." After several people who searched separately came back, Sun Le opened a tunnel: "The exit is not big, and those monsters can't get in. But it is also likely to be blocked inside."
"I'll go down and have a look." Duan Zhen said, he jumped into the tunnel, it was very dark below, he turned on the flashlight and found that the place was much wider than he imagined, the passage was painted with stone bricks, there were two or three people Wide, stretching all the way to the inside, with no end in sight.
Almost immediately, Duan Zhen realized that there was a problem.
The reason why those monsters couldn't come in might be different from what he had guessed before.
He didn't rush forward, but called everyone down.
"There is such a big tunnel here... Could it be that the ground has been hollowed out?" Xia Qirong wondered, "It seems that this is not an ordinary house."
Li Xi looked around, seemed to think of something, and his face darkened.
"Do you have any impression of this place?" Duan Zhen asked after noticing the change in his expression.
"No." Li Xi pursed his lips, exuding a gloomy aura from his whole body.
After throwing down the hard words, he walked into the passage first, without any intention of communicating with other people.
It was so dark in the passage that even the light of the flashlight couldn't shine very far. In just a few breaths, Li Xi's figure almost disappeared before Duan Zhen's eyes.
He waved for others to follow, and strode forward to chase after him.
The passage went deeper and deeper, as if it had no end. In the thick darkness there were only their footsteps and panting sounds, Li Xi in front seemed to be just a shadow, looming, Duan Zhen couldn't get close to him no matter what.
"There's something wrong here." Duan Zhen stopped, looked back, and couldn't help frowning: "The number of people is wrong."
Xia Qirong, who was following behind him, also looked back: "Isn't it right? Me, Brother Duan, Shan Zuo and Sun Le, plus the two of them, there are six..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment: "Seven?"
He shined on those people with a flashlight, showing a shocked expression: "Sun Le!"
Sun Le was illuminated by a flashlight, years of tacit understanding made him immediately aware of the danger, but it was too late. The dark humanoid creature behind him grew its mouth, and at that moment, it seemed to turn into a pool of black mud, swallowing him whole.
This scene was so fast, even Duan Zhen only had time to throw the flashlight in his hand, but the flashlight seemed to be absorbed, the light flickered twice, then went out, and disappeared into the darkness.
The next moment, the thing melted into the ground before their eyes.
No one opened their mouths. Fear and anger swelled in their hearts. Duan Zhen tensed up, holding one hand tightly against the cold wall, almost feeling like he couldn't breathe.
After a few seconds, he stood up straight, subconsciously clenched his left wrist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go ahead, pay attention to your side, Shan Zuo you cut off the back."
"Yes!" Shan Zuo nodded in response.
After such a delay, Li Xi's figure that could still be seen in front of him had completely disappeared, and they walked forward in silence.
Xia Qirong asked in a low voice: "Brother Duan, did Sun Le really die like this?"
"Not necessarily." Duan Zhen pressed the scar on his wrist, trying to remain calm: "When you find Li Xi, you can ask him."
"He is Senafel now." Xia Qirong muttered, indignant, even full of hatred: "If it weren't for the games created by these demon kings, so many people would not have died. If there is a chance, I really want to kill these demon kings." kill them all!"
Duan Zhen didn't speak.
All the people who were forcibly pulled into the game didn't like the devil king, but when he thought of Li Xi's appearance, his guess about the other party's identity began to waver again.
Is Li Xi really Senafel? If so, how will he face the other party...
Duan Zhen was rarely so restless. He walked forward, but suddenly found a person standing in front of them facing them.
"Sun Le?" Xia Qirong saw it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you okay?"
Sun Le didn't speak, but walked towards them slowly. His face was pale, and his footsteps landed on the stone bricks without a sound.
Duan Zhen blocked Xia Qirong, and said coldly: "You are not Sun Le!"
The person on the opposite side didn't speak, but suddenly turned into a pool of black mud and covered him.
Duan Zhen dodged it, and quickly took out a spell in his hand and threw it on the black mud. But the spell penetrated Heini's body and hit the passage with a slap.
The black mud wrapped around his arm.
It feels like being stuck in mud, and I can't use my strength no matter what.
Xia Qirong grabbed Duan Zhen with a flashlight in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother Duan, hold on!"
