Nine-curved roadway.

Luo Chengyou, who entered the middle, has already entered a dead end.

Because this dark and narrow alleyway is gradually shrinking!

The walls on either side would get narrower and narrower as he walked.

Although Luo Chengyou can choose to slow down and walk slowly, it will only delay his death.

What's more, there is also a limit on the power of the mobile phone.

The white fork on the far left does not contain the black substance of a "frog egg", and the original fork on the far right is exactly the same as before.

Only the narrow alley in the middle can get him out of the monster behind him, but this alley is dark and wet, and it is also the one with the most "frog eggs".

Luo Chengyou has not stepped on any "frog eggs" until now, entirely because of the help provided to him by the flashlight lighting function of his mobile phone.

Once the phone is out of battery, in such a dark environment, he can hardly move an inch.

Therefore, he can't go too slowly, after all, the power of the mobile phone is limited.

Luo Chengyou can only find a speed that does the least damage to both sides as much as possible, although this forward speed is not accurate, it is already all he can do.

At this moment, Luo Chengyou is already in despair.

He remembered that one of the rules said, "If you find the right way, you can leave the Jiuqu Lane area."

The reverse is understood, that is, there is a wrong road in Jiuqu Lane.

He suspected that he had chosen the wrong path.

But......

How to choose these three forks?

Is it the one on the far right?

Luo Chengyou suddenly thought, after all, the rightmost fork is exactly the same as the original main road in terms of width and "shape", it is very much like a continuation of the original roadway, and the middle and left sides are more like they are extra because of some strange power.

But in that situation, it was impossible for him to run past the "monster" behind him!

If you really choose the right road, you will still be caught up, or you will die.

Luo Chengyou finally despaired.

He can't turn back, he can't stop, he can only move forward step by step, this laneway, it's just like life.

If you choose the wrong road at a certain intersection, you can't turn back at all, and you have to go on knowing that you are dead in front of you.

Is there really no way......

Luo Chengyou is still moving forward.

There is also only half of the battery left on the phone.

The sides of the alleyway are still narrowing, from the width that can accommodate two people walking side by side, to the point where it is only two palms away from hitting the wall.

Narrow spaces naturally make people feel suffocated, Luo Chengyou feels like this at the moment, although he has not yet touched the walls on both sides of the alleyway, and there are not even any ghosts and monsters, but his despair at the moment is even stronger than any strange talk he has experienced before.

It is true that people are afraid of the unknown and the terrible.

But at this moment, Luo Chengyou understood.

The unknown is frightening, but what makes people really desperate is knowing their future, but there is no way to change it.

Just like he is now.

He knew that he would die if he went any further, but he could only keep going.

This kind of step-by-step approach to a predictable death, and the fact that he was powerless to change it, made Luo Chengyou's breathing more and more rapid, and he even wanted to give up.

Instead of going on like this, it's better to stop, or look back.

Thoughts kept going back and forth in his mind, and his face was changing wildly.

The current situation is a choice he made himself, and the consequences are also intuitively reflected in him.

Do you want to keep going, or do you choose to die with dignity?

It is foreseeable that no matter which path you choose, you will die.

The flesh on Luo Chengyou's face was trembling, and his fear and despair had reached a certain critical point.

If he goes on like this, he'll really go crazy.

In fact, his sanity is now somewhat untenable.

The reason why he is still moving forward step by step is because Luo Chengyou has regrets in his heart.

Just like my younger self.

As a young doctor, he did not choose to go to the hospital he longed for, but chose to succumb to reality, which is his regret all along.

But it's not wrong for anyone to succumb to reality.

Luo Chengyou understood this truth very early, he just felt regretful, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his choice.

He is the only child in the family, the family conditions are not good, and his parents are about to retire, what is the problem for him to choose a private hospital that gives more money?

If a person fails to do even the most basic survival or fulfill his responsibilities, he is not qualified to talk about dreams at all.

This is Luo Chengyou's point of view, he has always been, and he does not think that his choice is wrong.

Just like it is now.

Although the walls on both sides were constantly tightening, like two shiny guillotines about to reap his life.

But he still doesn't think his choice is wrong.

In that situation, if he didn't face the reality and didn't quickly get rid of the "monster" pursuit behind him, he himself would have died.

Thinking of this, all kinds of complicated thoughts in Luo Chengyou's mind disappeared in an instant.

Only one remained.

Keep going.

This is the path I chose for myself, go down, and go to the end!

Even if it is touched by the walls on both sides, even if it is caught in the cracks of the wall, it is your own choice.

[Don't look back].

This rule of Jiuqu Roadway actually means little to Luo Chengyou.

He may hesitate and regret it, but he is never a person who will turn back.

One step, one step......

Luo Chengyou continued to walk forward.

The walls on both sides were only a slap's width away from him.

At this point, Luo Chengyou has already seen it.

The reason why he is still moving forward is just to implement his choice, and he wants to see how far a "wrong" path can go.

The narrowing of the walls on both sides continues.

A slap in the face......

The width of three fingers......

Two fingers......

A ......

The next second.

He hit the wall.

Just in an instant! His entire body was frantically squeezed on both sides of the alleyway, and all the internal organs, as well as the bones of his body, all produced extremely oppressive and severe pain!

If it were an ordinary wall, it would not have produced such a terrifying oppressive force just after touching it.

But it is clear that Luo Chengyou broke the rules.

He "touched" the wall.

"Poof......

Luo Chengyou spurted out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't take a step anymore, but the walls on both sides were still tightening!

Now, it's they that tighten on their own.

Is this the end of it?

Luo Chengyou was "sandwiched" by the walls on both sides, and he couldn't fall down even if he wanted to.

His consciousness was also rapidly blurring, and while he still had a little lucidity, Luo Chengyou thought of something.

With all his might, he reached out and reached for the disgusting, sticky "frog eggs" on the wall.

He wondered what the consequences would be if he touched them.

However, at the moment when Luo Chengyou touched these "frog eggs......

The pain on his face froze instantly, and then, it was disbelief, and suddenly he realized, self-deprecating and relieved.

It turns out that "no need to sterilize" means this.

"Bang ......"

The sudden tightening of the walls on both sides squeezed Luo Chengyou into a puddle of minced meat.

The blood smeared on the walls, as if absorbed, quickly disappeared......

Jiuqu Lane Area——

The fog disperses.
