At the same time that Ruan Chi and the others began to search for Betty, Betty was facing the greatest fear of her life.

After hearing the sound of footsteps under the deep and terrifying stone staircase, her first reaction was to flee the place immediately.

The farther away the better.

When she was about to put it into action, she was surprised to find that her feet could not move at all.

Not only that, but she was even more frightened to find that her whole body could not move except her head, not even a simple movement as a slight movement of her fingers.

As if her body wasn't her own, she wanted to scream loudly, but the increasingly clear footsteps under the stone stairs made her instinctively shut up.

One, two, three, four......

Her nerves tensed as footsteps approached. She tried desperately to lift her feet, but she didn't feel them at all, as if she didn't have any feet at all. The fear that came from the depths of her heart made her bite her lip tightly and cry silently.

Even if my lip is bitten, I don't feel anything.

"Betty, it's me!" Without warning, a voice sounded softly in her ears.

"Ahh Betty finally broke down and screamed loudly. Suddenly, the screams echoed throughout the empty and dark cave, and it was terrifying.

Despite her powers, she is still a very innocent girl, and she has no courage to face such a terrifying place.

The moment she turned around, she saw a pair of blood-red eyes, then two black eyes. I don't know anything.

……

When Betty woke up again. The first thing she saw was the torch stuck in the middle of the cave. She was desperate. I'm still in that horrible cave.

She clutched her hair desperately, hoping to wake up from this nightmare.

Ruan Chi, Sister Rachel, Sister Herlan, help me!

Just as Betty was desperately shouting in her heart, suddenly, she faintly heard the voice of someone talking outside.

Her heart suddenly rose again, but after the intense shock just now. She was dizzy now, but not as scared as she had been.

After much consideration, she decided to see who was talking outside. So, she walked to the cave step by step.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the closer she got, the more she felt as if she had heard one of the voices somewhere, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Walking out of the hole, it was pitch black and there was a deep stone staircase in front of her, but this time Betty mustered up the courage and walked down step by step.

The stone staircase is not very long. Betty felt her way down the cold rock wall, and soon came to an even more empty cave. Near the entrance of the cave, you can see the green glow inside.

Although the light made Betty's scalp explode, Betty thought about it and decided to walk over and take a look, because the man's voice was talking to himself more and more clearly.

Cautiously poking into the hole, Betty saw someone standing there.

At this time, one of the people, who had his back to her, spoke again, "No matter what, I won't allow you to hurt her, I really like her." ”

Listening to that person, Betty was taken aback, needless to say, the "she" in the other party's mouth probably refers to herself.

But Betty didn't understand why she was arrested by the other party when she didn't know each other?

At this time, the person who had turned his back to her suddenly turned around, and through the green light of the cave, Betty saw a familiar face.

"Jim?"

Betty froze as if she had been struck by lightning, her brain went blank, and then her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she suddenly forgot that she was afraid.

Jim was a friend of Betty's when she lived in the Forgotten Lands, and disappeared after Count Argento of the Kingdom of Bostan and Prince Musiuk of the Fox Clan killed their fellow wanderers who lived together. Betty thought he was dead, but she didn't expect to be reunited in this situation after a year.

On the spur of the moment, Betty was ready to rush over without thinking about it at all.

But just as Betty was about to rush into the cave, she suddenly heard the voice of another person.

"So what, haven't you noticed it all these days? She's already in love with that brunette kid, hehe, a childhood sweetheart girl falls in love with someone else, you should be very uncomfortable, right? ”

It was a very hoarse, unfamiliar man's voice.

Betty immediately stopped, and though she wanted to rush up and ask Jim what was going on, she wasn't stupid. She immediately realized that it was Jim who had brought herself here with this man.

"But......" Jim hesitated.

"Don't think too much, boy, listen to me, I'm in the same boat with you now, as long as you listen to me, your childhood sweetheart girl will definitely belong to you." The voice was full of demagogy.

Hearing this, Betty was shocked and angry. The other party is obviously bewitching Jim and sowing discord, and she vows that she will never let this happen.

Although she was angry, Betty calmed down at the moment, and she knew that she must not rush out and fight the other party at this time.

The first thing to do now is to get out of here before they even know it.

Somewhat glad they weren't tied hand or foot, Betty quietly retreated to the cave and looked around for a place to get out.

Back at the corner of the stone staircase, Betty saw a deep passage, and although she didn't know where it led, it seemed that there was only one way to go.

There wasn't much time left to think about it, fearing that Jim and the mysterious man would find out, and Betty was anxious and nervous. Ignoring any danger ahead, he walked in by touching the cold rock wall.

As luck would have it, I hadn't gone far when a glimmer of light appeared in front of me, and it wasn't that eerie green light, but an orange light that was close to flames.

Betty was overjoyed, and immediately quickened her feet, but just when Betty felt that she was about to escape, suddenly she stepped on something.

Before he could think about it, he had fallen to the ground.

"Ahh

Betty tried to stand up with her hands on the ground, but when she touched the ground, she felt a greasy and slippery liquid, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.

By the faint light, Betty was horrified to find that her hands were covered with blood, and her mouth couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Need help?" As the voice sounded, I felt that my ankles were suddenly grabbed tightly by two cold hands......

Betty exclaimed loudly, and quickly looked back, only to see a figure standing behind her. Although it was pitch black that she couldn't see him clearly, Betty felt as if he was laughing.

The frightened cat-eared lady kicked her feet and tried to kick the other person away, but the man's hands still held on to her feet.

"Little girl, you're so naughty, you still want to run? Don't think that Jim's kid is reluctant to kill you, and the old man will let you go? The man said in a hoarse voice as he stroked Betty's feet.

Betty recognized the man's voice, it was the mysterious man who used words to bewitch Jim, Betty panicked when she saw this, kept kicking her feet, and kept shouting.

"Let it go, you scoundrel, Jim help......"

Betty was covered by his cold hands. She screamed for a while, but Jim just didn't show up, and Betty didn't understand, why didn't he come to save herself?

At this time, the mysterious man suddenly laughed, "Boy, your childhood sweetheart is calling you, why don't you answer?" That's rude, isn't it? ”

After a while, no one spoke.

Just a second before Betty was desperate, the mysterious man suddenly let go of her feet.

As soon as she was freed, Betty jumped down, and then came a surprise attack, slamming the mysterious man with her shoulder, and knocking him out of the way in one fell swoop.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Betty immediately rushed around his side towards the cave that glowed green.

She thought she would see Jim in the cave, but there was no one there, but there was a very large altar with a cage made of bones piled on top of it.

The scariest thing is, what did Betty see in the cage?

She saw a pile of twisted corpses, piled up like garbage in that cage, bloody and disgusting.

In addition, the Caged Rebellion also has an iron vessel, the surface is engraved with runes, and there is a green flame suspended in the center, which is both strange and mysterious, illuminating the entire cave into a green patch.

Frightened, Betty didn't have time to think about it, she instinctively shouted, and ran back again, this time in the direction of the stone staircase.

Just two steps away from the stone staircase, Betty suddenly found herself unable to move again.

Just like last time, I couldn't move my whole body except for my head. This strange phenomenon caused her to fall into a violent panic again.

At this moment, a man slowly walked through the deep passage until he reached Betty.

In the flickering green firelight, Betty saw the man's appearance, half a face, to be exact, but that was enough.

For a moment, she forgot about her fear, and cried with joy: "Jim, is it really you?" Woo, it's great that you're really not dead......"

Jim looked at her quietly, then suddenly laughed, "I'm sorry, I'm not a brat. ”

It was a very hoarse voice.

"Y-Who are you?" Betty was almost speechless, and she remembered very well that the owner of the voice was the mysterious man who had just grabbed her feet.

But why does he look exactly like Jim?

"Little girl, did you forget the old man so quickly? The old man is Marston. The man, who called himself Marston, looked at her with hatred like a wolf at the sight of his prey.

Then he took another step forward.

Finally, his whole face was completely exposed, and Betty just glanced at it, and her whole body was fixed on somewhere, and she didn't react. (To be continued......)
