Chapter 64: This Isn't My Face!
"What's there to be afraid of? Look, I've been taking pictures for so long and nothing has happened. [...] Don't worry, I'm here! What are you afraid of?" He Zuo made a "come" gesture, "If you're scared, just close your eyes, I'll hold you!"
Yunxue obediently closed her eyes, raised both hands, and He Zhuang hesitated for a moment. He had never touched a girl's hand before, and his face turned red unconsciously. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently grasped Yunxue's hand.
"Come on, move forward, slow down, don't worry, I'm here!"
Just as she was about to pass through the mirror's area, Yunxue suddenly opened her eyes due to extreme nervousness...
A mirror stood upright in front of her "How could this be?"
Yun Xue stopped in front of the mirror, looking carefully... her mouth still repeating "How could this be... how could this be..."
He Zhuang looked at Yunxue with great suspicion, her expression made people feel extremely terrified, but couldn't say why it was terrifying or what was terrifying about it. "Sister? Sister? What's wrong with you? Don't scare your brother! It seems that this mirror is really quite eerie! Does it only scare girls and not boys? Let's get out of here quickly!"
At this time, He Zhuang was still holding Yunxue's hand. He Zhuang tried his best to pull Yunxue away, but found that no matter how hard he tried, with all his might, Yunxue didn't budge an inch.
Rong Yue looked at He Zhuang in despair "This isn't my face! No! No! No......"
He Zhuang realized something was off and turned to run away, but his hand was tightly grasped by Yunxue, unable to break free. Thinking of Yunxue's words "This isn't my face!", He Zhuang felt a chill down his back.
A chilling, mirthless laugh echoed from behind him...
He Zhuang turned his head around, a ferocious face, was this still the gentle and pitiful Yunxue from just now? This was clearly a malevolent spirit!
"Ah..."
"What a sound! Blue Universe, did you hear it?" Qiao Jia grasped Blue Universe's arm tightly.
"Qiao Jia, let's run quickly!"
Lian Xi saw Qiao Jia's eyebrows tightly furrowed, her lips slightly trembling, as if she had encountered danger. Lian Xi also became tense "Qiao Jia! Qiao Jia!"
"Lian Yu! What's wrong?" Hearing Lian Yu's cry, Ying also rushed in and saw Qiao Jia's extremely painful expression. It seemed that... the chances of a good outcome were slim...
Lan Yu pulled Cao Jia's hand and ran non-stop. From the shouting just now, it could be heard that it was very close to them. Lan Yu had no time to think about anything else, crazily pulling Cao Jia to run wildly, without considering which road to take, just wanting to get away quickly.
Miraculously, they didn't run into a dead end.
Like this, they ran for a very long time. "Lan Yu, I...I...can't run anymore..." Qiao Jia was already panting heavily, she shook off Lan Yu's hand, covered her stomach, bent down, closed her eyes and took big breaths, she was completely exhausted.
"Qiao Jia, hold on a bit longer!" Lan Yu was also very tired, they had indeed run a long distance, Qiao Jia had never sprinted so far before. In the face of death, everyone is weak, and in order to survive, they can tap into their infinite potential. But seeing Qiao Jia's state, she really couldn't run anymore...
"Blue... Blue Yu, you... don't bother me anymore, run... run quickly!" Qiao Jia used up the last bit of her strength to lift her head.
"What are you talking about?! How could I possibly abandon you?! We'll live together, or die... we'll die together!" Lan Yu had his hands on his waist, trying hard to catch his breath and recover his strength. In their current state, if they were to encounter... then they would have no choice but to meet a dead end!
Qiao Jia didn't say a word, actually she was so tired that she couldn't speak, she felt like her mouth was full of the taste of blood, as if she was about to vomit blood at any moment, extremely unbearable.
The first to wake up, Lian Yu and Ying were anxiously waiting, they could do nothing but wait now. Lian Yu really regretted why she chose to separate in the first place, if not for that decision, maybe all of them would still be alive...
Lian Yu suddenly burst into tears, she hated herself so much, why didn't she act with Qiao Jia together, why did she have to consider those new players, why didn't she stay by Qiao Jia's side...
"Shadow! I'm really so sad......" Lian Xi was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"It's not your fault, don't worry Blue Universe will take good care of Qiao Jia... nothing will happen to them!"
In the last game's hidden task, at the moment when Qiaojia fell from the building, although she happened to save Qiaojia, Lianxi had already made up her mind to protect Qiaojia well from the moment she saw Qiaojia again, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
Thinking of this, Lian Yu became even more resentful of herself. She wished she could immediately switch places with Qiao Jia and bear those sufferings and fears for herself. If only she hadn't told Qiao Jia and Xiao Mu about her nightmares back then, they wouldn't have been dragged into this game, Xiao Mu wouldn't have died, and Qiao Jia wouldn't be living in constant fear...
"It's all my fault! Xiaomu and Qiaojia only entered the game because they listened to my nightmare, I'm so bad, why did I tell them!"
Listening to Lian Yu's words with a sob, Ying felt heartbroken again, thinking of the moment when Xiao Mu died in front of her, her extremely painful howl, and finally fell at her feet. If people had the ability to foresee, Ying would never have killed Xiao Mu...
But it's come to this, and no matter what, there's no use. Even if Xiaomu were to get 100 points and be revived, she would still have to go through all sorts of hardships and might not necessarily survive in the end. Because after going through so many games, even Shadow herself doesn't know whether she can survive or not, let alone others...
Qiao Jia sat on the ground, despairingly looking up at the darkness above her head. After walking for so long and running so far, they didn't even know how many roads they had repeated, let alone which road they hadn't walked before...
"Lan Yu, are we going to die here? It's been so long and we still haven't met Lian Xi and Ying. Have they already found the exit and left?"
"If they really found an exit, they would definitely come looking for us!"
"So, for so long, not even a shadow of themselves has been seen. Does that mean... they've met with harm?" Qiao Jia was very calm and composed, quieter than she had ever been before. No tears, no expression. When people are truly desperate, they really don't even have tears.
Lan Yu didn't know what to say, Zhao Yi had died at the beginning, maybe Lian Xi and Ying walked in front of Zhao Yi and entered through the entrance gate, it's also possible that the miserable cry just heard was He Zhuang, so Su Yun Xue Sheng's hope wasn't big either...
Lan Yu also slowly sat down on the ground, as if it were true that only the two of them were left in the maze now, just like Qiao Jia had said...
