Chapter 96: On Each Side

"Or head and feet?" asked Erhei.

The little sister continued to nod.

No wonder, Erhei breathed a sigh of relief, just now, he thought he was about to be entangled by a female ghost!

"When I came down, I thought I heard you counting, what were you counting just now?" asked him.

"Ah, that's what I just discovered, and when I counted ninety-nine, I heard your voice. I'd like to see if it's a coincidence. Erhei said.

He glanced at the little sister standing in front of him, and now it seemed that there was no need to try.

The little sister looked around and said, "This place is strange, we have to find a way to get out of here." ”

"Don't you know how to leave?" asked Erhei.

The little sister glanced at him and said, "Should I know how to leave? ”

Once, Erhei really thought she was omnipotent.

"Who can blame you for staying in the room and waiting for me to listen?" said the little sister reproachfully.

Erhei knew that he was wrong, so he shut up and didn't speak again.

Xiaomei looked around, and this place was exactly the same as the secret room she had entered before. However, it would be too aggrieved to say that it was a secret room, and it seemed like an extra-long secret passage that you wouldn't know where the exit and entrance were as soon as you walked in!

The footsteps of "click, click, click" are still ringing, sometimes lonely, sometimes in groups.

A voice suddenly sounded: "Why don't you just try it?"

It's a male voice.

Another voice rang out: "Try?

It's a female voice.

"Who?" the little sister suddenly shouted, "Who is talking there?!"

However, the passage fell silent again, and no sound was heard at all.

Erhei walked up to her in a trembling manner and looked at her strangely: "Little ...... Younger sister...... Are you alright?"

His eyes were full of doubt and fear.

Xiaomei looked at him and was also puzzled: "I'm fine, why do you ask that?"

"Who were you talking to? I haven't heard anyone speak from you until now, except for the sound of footsteps that have been ringing. ”

The little sister asked in surprise, "You didn't hear anyone talk?"

Erhei shook his head. I thought to myself: Didn't my little sister think of a way to get out, and she was about to go crazy?

The little sister didn't know what Erhei was thinking, she glanced at him and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong." ”

"So which way should we go now?" asked Erhei, hesitantly.

"I don't know. It looks like it's stretching infinitely on both sides, but I'm not sure where the exit is, or how far away. ”

"We, can't we get out?" Erhei asked.

"I have an idea. The little sister touched her chin with one hand and crossed her waist with the other, and said slowly.

"What do you think?" Erhei asked quickly.

"I don't know how long this passage is, and I don't know if there is a head, but thankfully, there is only one passage here, and there are no other forks in the road. ”

Erhei suddenly felt a chill in his back: "What do you mean?"

"The situation now is: two directions, one before the other, two people, you, and me. The two of us can each choose one direction to go forward, and if there is an exit, even if there is only one, we will definitely be able to find it!"

"Didn't you just come down from there, can't we get out of there again?" asked Erhei.

Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I saw it just now, but I can't." ”

"And what if there isn't an exit in either direction?" asked Erhei.

The little sister frowned slightly: "How do you know that there is no exit if you don't try?"

"It's too risky to do this, have you ever thought that if there really is no exit, maybe this is the last time we see in this life. I always thought that it would be my son or grandson who would end me up, but it would not be you. ”

The little sister looked at the airtight and airy walls on both sides, and said, "What do you do now without taking risks? If you don't want to take risks, then there is another way, that is, we will sit here together and wait for death, and if we give up, we don't have to take risks at all!"

"How many days can you be hungry?" she looked at Erhei, her eyes extremely calm.

Erhei knew very well in his heart that perhaps, this was really their only chance. He looked at his little sister......

The little sister took out a white silk thread from her body, sent one end to Erhei's wrist, and then sent the other end to her own wrist, and said, "Have you ever heard of a broken lotus root? It's not the kind of lotus root you eat." ”

She said as she stepped back, the thread that had been only a few inches long slowly growing longer and longer as she moved.

Xiaomei raised her wrist towards Erhei and said, "Even if there is no end, we can still find each other with it." Remember, if you find an exit, untie it, and when I see the thread automatically retract to its original state, I'll go to you right away. ”

"And what if you find the exit first?"

"Don't worry, I'll go to you right away. ”

Erhei sighed helplessly, he knew that it was superfluous to say anything now. He nodded, turned around, and took two steps forward.

The footsteps were very loud in the passage, and it sounded a little more tragic.

Erhei took two steps forward and suddenly stopped. But he didn't turn around, he just stood there quietly.

"Little sister ......," he said.

"What?" asked the little sister as she looked at his back.

Quiet, just quiet for a moment.

The little sister heard Erhei sigh, and then, she heard Erhei say, "It's nothing." ”

Immediately, the footsteps sounded again.

The little sister looked at the shadow that was getting farther and farther away from her in a daze, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably lost.

The lantern flickered twice above her head, but it was still on. She looked left and right at the dancing flames on either side, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

This place is very weird, Erhei is right, this time, there may be some variables, maybe, in the future, we really can't meet. But they still have to try, and they can only try their best now.

Xiaomei was suddenly a little curious, just now, at that moment, Erhei stopped and stopped her, what did she want to say?

The lantern burned faintly above her head, and there was a slight footstep under her feet, and occasionally there were footsteps in twos and threes, and from time to time there was a sound of talking.

A shadow was stretched out by the light.

Other than that, there seems to be nothing else.
