Chapter 10: Lost

Through the disturbed grass, Neo noticed that a piece of grass had been crushed by a foreign object, and when he looked closer, he also found fresh blood on the yellowed leaves at the tip of the grass.

In front of Neo, a trail of blood dragged forward until it disappeared deep inside a black hole gate in the main castle.

There, the limits of eyesight have been exceeded.

Faintly, there seemed to be a vague moan/moan, coming from the deepest part of the darkness, oozing Neo's cold hair to stand up, and his back crawled with wet cold sweat.

If you need to explore the truth inside, you can only step in and find out for yourself.

The quaint oak door was not closed, and Neo stepped straight in, stepping into the deep darkness like the mouth of a monster.

Neo lit a torch randomly planted at the entrance and walked forward in the limited dim light.

Neo didn't leave, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

Even if he escaped to the exit gate alone, the wooden bolt of the city gate that was more than a meter wide was not something he could take off. Instead of staying where you are, it's better to seize the time and find out.

He has been following Yun Qi for a while, and he has slowly been imperceptibly influenced by his style of doing things, and he acts without childless indecisiveness.

The interior of the castle was dark and damp, and the seemingly confined space was punctuated by a cold wind that almost made Neo associate the roar of hell.

Although Neo was guided by Yun Qi when he was wandering in the wilderness, he had no problem facing five or six zombies with his bare hands, and even because of his immunity to the T virus, even if there were a dozen zombies, he was confident that he would settle it in five minutes.

But this time, it was an unknown enemy.

So far, he hasn't even seen the appearance of the enemy, the only clue. It's that guy's speed is very fast, and he has a lot of strength, otherwise, how can he explain that in a few seconds, the whole person of the madman will be dragged away.

Walk through a long hallway, and an even darker cubicle. Neo began to regret why he had entered alone.

If the boss was there, he would definitely not have any mental burden, at least he wouldn't be frightened by the strange screams that sounded from time to time.

"It's too dangerous inside, so let's go back first." After all, Neo is still an underage child, and his previous curiosity and use of washing slowly fade with the transfer of time and space, and he is quickly beaten back to the prototype of the child by reality.

But I really want to leave, but others won't let me.

A creaking sound came from the source of the corridor passage.

It's good that the side door of the sturdy castle is tightly closed. Even the little light that was given was blocked by an oak door.

"Oops! Outlet! Neo ran back to the exit as fast as he could.

The door was tightly shut, the oak material strong enough to withstand Neo's full hammering, and it did little for anything other than to keep the sound echoing through the closed hallway.

He shouted out to the boss, but Yun Qi did not show up when he was in danger, as he had done before.

It seems that Lady Luck is no longer interested in him.

After a moment of panic, Neo remembered that Yun Qi had taught him how to deal with emergencies.

"I have to be calm. Be sure to calm down! ”

He kept reminding himself that the Wicks blood flowing in his body gradually calmed the throbbing in his heart.

When he realized the development of the situation, there was no room for retreat. Neo gritted his teeth and chose to move forward.

When the back road is sealed, Neo plucks up his courage and heads into the unknown darkness.

Neo didn't know how long he walked, how many rooms he walked through, or how many turns he turned.

Glimmer by the only torch. Neo fumbled.

Neo, who had calmed down, noticed the faint streak of blood on the ground.

Sure enough, the guy was hiding inside.

At first, Neo was "looking for a place to hide", still like a detective in a detective novel, to find out the truth.

But. Neo is not the protagonist of a detective novel, let alone the blessing of the protagonist's aura, reason tells him that the truth is important, but his sister is everything to him.

Instead of following the bloodstains, he looked for another exit.

However, the size of the castle was beyond his imagination, and as he walked, he lost his sense of direction.

After about half an hour, Neo's heart finally fell to a low point.

Now, he couldn't even find his way back.

After five "what to do" in a row, Neo finally changed from the original plan of finding the second exit to returning the same way and waiting for Yunqi to come to his rescue.

Anyway, my courage has been proven.

With a new plan in place, Neo began to search for traces of blood.

In the past half hour, the traces have evaporated a lot with the passage of time, and although the color has become much lighter, the smell of blood has not dispersed.

After Neo awakened his true name, the realm of perception also doubled with his attributes, and the tide rose.

Soon, he rediscovered the location of the bloodstains, but the bloodstains on the ground looked a little different from what he had seen before, the width seemed to be narrower, and the depth of the bloodstains seemed to be a little deeper than before.

Neo couldn't take care of that much at this point, and now he just wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.

But the scene in front of me is getting weirder and weirder.

Even though the walls are made of cold basalt stone everywhere, every room is the same for first-time visitors.

With the name "Wicks" on his head, which represents high intelligence, Conio has his own way of remembering the perception of unfamiliar environments.

No matter how you look at it, Neo felt that the scene in front of him was too unfamiliar, and at first, he could still find a similar place at the entrance from the cookie-cutter architectural style.

But as time went on, Neo felt more and more that he had gone astray.

"Didn't I ever come here?"

Doubts slowly grew from the bottom of Neo's heart. Along with doubts comes fear.

However, he clearly followed the drag marks of the blood stains, step by step, how could he go in the wrong direction?

"Could it be ......" is a shocking idea, which was soon conceived in the fermentation of doubts.

"Isn't it true that I've gone in the opposite direction."

Neo was taken aback by his own flash of inspiration.

Look carefully towards the damp ground and make sure you're walking in the opposite direction of the trail.

"That's right!"

Neo reaffirmed that he was not going in the wrong direction.

"Maybe I'm so nervous that I'm delusional, right?"

In an unfamiliar environment, especially in a spooky place, it is easy to be suspicious by tense nerves, and in this environment, it is not surprising that the shadow of the cup bow snake is in the shadow.

However, Neo was never able to shake away the uneasiness in his heart, and the vigilance that swirled around his heart became even stronger. (To be continued.) )
