Chapter 62: What's Wrong?

  "Lan Yu, we just passed two forks in the road. We didn't leave any marks, can we still find our way back later?"

  "If we can help it, we won't go looking for them!"

  "What? What did you say? You just agreed to meet them at that intersection!"

  "Qiao Jia, you know what? Now, apart from your safety, I don't care about anything else. I can't worry about so many things!"

  "What if the exit is on their side?"

  "It's one step at a time now! What you said is possible, but I really didn't plan on going back to find them. Actually, my suggestion to split up wasn't about finding an exit!"

  "My goodness! Lan Yu, you're so scary! Are you really willing to abandon them? They didn't bring us any trouble, can't you tolerate new players? Those are two lives at stake!"

  "Qiao Jia, it's not what you think! You can't misunderstand me like this! The separation was mainly to find Lian Xi and the others! Do you think I'm so despicable that I'd abandon them on purpose because they're a burden? Is that really how you see me in your heart?"

  "What? Looking for Lian Yu?"

  "Yes, even if we don't go looking for them, if they find Ling Yu and Ying, they will definitely inform us of the situation on their side. Ling Yu and Ying will surely come to look for us. If we find them first, it would be safer to bring Ying back with us."

  By this time, Qiao Jia was already sobbing uncontrollably "I'm sorry Lan Yu, I shouldn't have misunderstood you. It's all my fault..."

  "Don't cry, Qiao Jia. How can I blame you? Let's move forward."

  Qiao Jia and Lan Yu have lost their way, they are now walking in the direction of the entrance.

  He Zhuang and Su Yunxue also walked to the fork where the four people parted ways, "It seems that their side is not a dead end, so let's take another road first!"

  "Wait... wait a minute!" Yunxue suddenly stopped He Zhuang.

  "What's wrong? Are you very scared? Don't worry! I'm here! As a man, I will protect the woman by my side, even if she's not mine... Alright, don't worry!" It seems that He Zhuang has indeed become fearless, and he even has the mood to make jokes.

  Yun Xue didn't say a word, she just lifted her trembling right arm and glanced at her watch.

  "It's definitely less than 15 minutes! Right?"

  Yunxue nodded slightly, and only seven minutes had passed, seven minutes... not even half of fifteen minutes. Yunxue felt a wave of palpitations, seeing He Zhuang already walking into the alley, she didn't want to be left behind either, so she quickly followed him.

  Seven minutes, just seven short minutes, really did happen a lot of things...

  Staring at the large mirror in front of them, they were stunned. The expressions reflected in the mirror were pale and shocked, one more than the other...

  The three of them stared at the mirror for a long time without blinking, but nothing happened.

  Ying walked up and helped Lian Xi up, this was the first time Lian Xi's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up...

  This mirror is very tall, elliptical in shape, and has a copper-colored frame that looks eerie everywhere. What's even eerier is that there is an exit door next to the mirror!

  "Cheer up! We've reached the exit!"

  "How could this be? The hint was not to look into the mirror, but this mirror is right at the exit! How can we not get caught?" Lian Xi stared at the mirror in front of her with wide eyes, getting more and more frightened. "We've been looking for so long, how come nothing has happened?"

  "I don't know... I also don't understand what this means... According to the game rules, we should have been dead a long time ago... No! We should have died the moment we saw the mirror!"

  "Was that hint just a bluff?" Lianxi didn't dare to look at the mirror again, her gaze turned to Ying, "The game can't write something that doesn't exist in the game rules, right? Is this just the game playing tricks on us?"

  "What's wrong with you? Or should I say, is there something wrong with this exit?"

  "Shadow, you mean this exit itself is a trap?" Originally, Lian Xi was in despair after seeing the mirror and had mentally prepared for death. However, nothing happened afterwards, and upon seeing the exit gate, Lian Xi's hope reignited once again.

  Ke Ying once broke Lian Xi's 'beautiful dream'...

  "Maybe not looking in the mirror is a hint that the exit next to it might be a trap!"

  The exit that was finally in sight, Lian Yu really didn't want to believe it was a trap. Lian Yu didn't want to give up. In just a few short minutes, Lian Yu experienced countless huge emotional changes: disappointment, despair, hope... Lian Yu fell silent...

  "Shadows, what should we do now? Should we leave here immediately?" Jing asked anxiously, the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more panicked she felt.

  "But if this is the real exit, then we've missed our chance to get out..." Ying was torn and conflicted, staring at the door with "exit" written on it, her eyes full of confusion...

  "Then we won't think of a way out here either...... This mirror is simply too terrifying......" She said, turning around and walking back to the passageway they just came from.

  "Jingwa is right! Lianxi, let's leave this mirror first and discuss it further over there!"

  Lian Yu's eyes were dull, as if no matter what Ying said, Lian Yu couldn't hear it. Ying pulled Lian Yu and slowly turned around, seeing that they still had two steps to reach the intersection just now, Lian Yu suddenly broke free from Ying like a madman "No! No......"

  Ling Yu stumbled and staggered as she turned to run towards the exit, fortunately, Ying's speed was quite swift, he grabbed hold of Ling Yu and pulled her into his own embrace.

  "Shadow! Let me go! Let me go! I want to leave this place!" Lian Xi burst into tears, and Shadow's heart shattered.

  "Ling Yu, before I figure things out, I won't let you go take risks. You're being so impulsive is equivalent to seeking death, do you know that?"

  If Ling Yu hadn't been paying attention to Ying's words, she would have felt that living was worse than death. Even if the big door behind her led to death, she would still accept it gladly. Sometimes the suffering one endures while alive is more terrifying than death itself...

  But no matter how hard Lian Yu struggled, she couldn't escape from Ying's arms.

  "Ghost, I beg of you! Let me go! Allow me to leave! Even if it means death, I'm willing to accept it! I surrender!"

  At this point, Ying only felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if thousands of needles were stabbing him, non-stop.

  "Alright, I'll let you go. I'll go in first!" After saying that, Ying released Lian Xi and moved to the front of the exit gate at his fastest speed. "Lian Xi, please promise me, if I die, you must live well!"

  Jing heard the noise from the other side of the corner, extremely anxious, she couldn't care about anything else anymore, she didn't want to die in vain! But everything was too late, at the moment when Ying finished speaking, he opened the large door with "exit" written on it...
