Chapter 42: Overnight
After walking out of the theater, Satan put the shadow on the ground. Looking at the scene in front of them, they were all slightly stunned.
The corridor in front of them was no longer the straight corridor they had walked to, but a complex fork in the road of five corridors, each of which was exactly the same, and there was no difference at all.
The bright lights, the gray-black plastic floor, at a glance, there is no end in sight, and unlike the original, the rooms on both sides of the corridor are gone, only the white and smooth walls.
"What's going on?" Satan looked at the scene in front of him, and he pondered for a moment and tilted his head, "Who changed the corridor?" Or did I just remember the wrong way over? β
"It's either that you're mistaken, or the hallway has changed." Shadow replied calmly.
Her gaze slowly swept from the leftmost corridor to the far right, then walked a few steps to the intersection of the leftmost corridor and the adjacent hallway, looked carefully for a moment, and then looked up at the ceiling.
Satan looked at the petite Youying squatting at the fork in the corridor to observe, and when he squatted down, he looked even more petite, like a small beast, inexplicably, and a strange feeling flashed in his heart.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before, and he didn't know what it was called.
After staring at that figure for a long time, Satan couldn't help but ask, "Hey! Have you thought of a way to get out of here? β
Yuying straightened up, turned her head to look at Satan and shook her head, "Not yet. β
"Aha!? What do you mean we're going to have to do in this place? Satan sighed helplessly, walked up to Youying in a few steps, and patted her on the head, "Let's go, just take a random path and see if you can find an exit." β
Glowing nodded, keeping up with him.
As it turned out, trying to find an exit through this intricate space by mistake was not as realistic as they imagined, and they walked around the entire area, even marking it with shredded clothing, and finally got stuck in it.
After walking for nearly a few hours, Yuying's footsteps became slower and slower, her forehead was soaked with sweat, her legs were a little sore and numb, and she walked shoulder to shoulder with Satan at first, and now she walked behind.
Finally, she stopped where she was.
Sensing that the girl was gone, Satan turned to look at Phantom Ying, who was standing in place with his head down, "Can't you walk?" He walked up to her, stretched out his hand and picked her up, "If you can't walk, say it sooner, stupid!" β
This wasn't the first time Satan had held her, and Yuying was more calm than she had been at first, nestling in his arms, reaching for the fabric on his chest.
The man's pace was so slow to adapt to her, but now he picked her up and walked faster, striding forward.
After walking back and forth for several hours, it was estimated that it was almost dark outside, and Satan stopped, and he looked down at the shadow in his arms. The girl slept quietly, her eyes closed, her breathing steady, and he stared distractedly for a long time.
"Well, I didn't expect it to look like this." Satan muttered under his breath.
He looked up at the endless corridor, and after a moment of silence he sat on the ground leaning against the wall, the girl in his arms was still asleep, he took off his coat slowly with one free hand, wearing only the sleeveless vest inside, and then put the coat over Youying.
After doing this, Satan leaned his head against the wall, pulled the arm that held the shadow a few more points, and fell asleep in this position with his eyes closed.
The next day, it was Youying who woke up first.
Youying opened her eyes, looked at the black coat covered by herself, and turned her head to face the man's broad chest, through the thin layer of clothing, you can see the shape of Satan's chest muscles, with a strong male hormonal aura.
Ghost: "......"
She blinked her eyes, and her usually agile head slowed for a few seconds before realizing that she was in Satan's arms, and that she had most likely slept directly in his arms all night.
Just when Youying was a little at a loss, a man's low and hoarse voice came from overhead, "What? Awake? There was a bit of a hoarseness in Satan's voice.
"Well, let's find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise we might be trapped here." Satan picked her up again.
You Ying looked up at Satan's face and whispered, "I can walk myself." β
"Huh?" Satan stared at her, his voice raised slightly, and he bent down to put her down, "Then go by yourself, and remember to squeak when you are low on strength." β
After Satan finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and walked down the corridor on his long, slender legs.
Standing in place, Yuying looked at the black coat in her hand, took it, and trotted to keep up with Satan's tall back.
As she walked beside Satan, she walked in the corridor for a long time like yesterday, and finally she couldn't find an exit, and she suddenly asked Satan in a soft voice, "Are you afraid?" β
"Scared? Fool...... Satan seemed to have heard some big joke, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a treacherous arc, and his gloomy eyes were calm and unwavering, "What can I be afraid of?" Don't forget I'm a monster. β
"So?"
"So don't be afraid of pain, don't be afraid of death!" Satan's tone is calm and firm.
"Hmm." Youying nodded slightly, in response.
It's impossible to walk out by mistakeβSpectral is keenly aware of this, her gaze searching the hallway.
There were no puzzles, no traces of mechanisms, and luckily no lethal weapons came out.
I'm so hungry.
Youying felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and slowly slowed down, and Satan next to her obviously felt that her steps were much slower, he turned his head to look at her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Can't walk? β
"No, it's okay." Yuying shook her head slightly.
"Stupid," said Satan in a low voice, "tell me if you can't walk, don't hold on!" Silly! β
"Well," Grief responded, "I'll tell Satan if I can't walk." β
Getting the desired response, Satan didn't say more, just slowed down to get used to the glow.
The deep corridor seems to have no end, and every time you come to a fork in the road, you will stagger the fork in the road you have walked before, and you will encounter a new fork in the direction of other corridors, which is extremely complicated.
Youying walked and walked, slower and slower, and finally when she wanted to speed up her pace, her feet were weak and fell directly, and Satan next to her quickly caught her body steadily, and picked it up easily, he blamed, "Stupid! If you can't walk, just say it! β
Satan's tone is bad.
The shadow nestled in his arms, eyes half-closed, looking indifferently at the ceiling.
Satan looked down at the increasingly lifeless and lifeless ghost in his arms, and his heart tightened, and he shook her, "Hey! Don't sleep to death! Cheer me up! Glow! He looked up at the bottomless hallway and cursed, "Damn!! How the hell are you going to get out of this place?! β
