nXiao Chen did not say anything and squatted next to the boy, whimpering.

nHe felt something that he could not explain. He thought he should run away in fear because it was in the middle of nowhere, and there was no telling what would come out at night to harm him. However, his heart ached at the sight of the boy’s gray eyes.

nIt was like…

nThe pain was not in the boy’s body but his own.

nThe gray-eyed boy tilted his head and could see Xiao Chen’s jawline clearly. The child’s face did not have much flesh and looked very much malnourished.

nHe withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the sky.

nThis night is really terribly dark. Not to mention the smallest stars, even the moon is not visible. There is nothing to be seen in the blackness.

nThe air is also very stuffy, making it a little hard to breathe.

nAnd every part of his own body appeared like it was crushed by a car. His bones were broken, and it hurts, it hurts………

nHe could not move.

nIs he going to die?

nThen, his body must be delicious.

nMaybe before he completely loses consciousness, he will see a wolf take one of his legs and then hide somewhere to enjoy his dinner. He may see a vulture pierce his large intestine, make him bleed, bite his flesh and bring it back to share with its children.

nPerhaps there will be a cunning fox who wants to drag his corpse, trying to make him a long-lasting reserve food. Or maybe even ants will line up to haul away his remains when there is little left of him.

nWhat a terrible way to die.

nHowever, it is certainly possible.

nEven the birds and beasts are a bit reluctant to feed on his body, feeling his bad luck and thinking that the stench of his corpse is unpleasant. He thought that he was like everyone believed, that he was a disaster. Eventually, he was left in the wilderness, where he was exposed to the sun and wind and turned into a dried corpse.

nThe boy’s thoughts seem to have drifted into outer space, thinking about something messy in his head.

nSure enough, not long after, he saw a pair of eyes that were still glowing in the night.

nThose eyes were terribly bright and a little creepy.

nIt was a wolf.

nA wolf that was attracted by the smell of blood.

nThe child who was sitting next to him just now seemed to be terrified. His eyes that had been in tears immediately cried even more.

nHe watched as the child jerked to his feet, then the two looked at each other, and the latter ran away as fast as he could.

nThe boy looked at his departing back and couldn’t help but think.

nWell, that’s right, who would stay with him?

nThe wolf is so dangerous. If he doesn’t leave, won’t he be eaten by it?

nWith this in mind, the boy closed his eyes with hopelessness.

nThinking about his life, was he happy?

nNot really.

nHe hated it!

nWhy should he be called a disaster in his life, where so many people even want him to die? He is simply resentful!

nWithout any obstruction, the wolf’s glowing eyes became brighter as it jumped and rushed straight to the boy’s body and licked at his blood.

nIt was ready to enjoy its feast.

n“Go away! Go away! Don’t touch him!!!” A soft, tender voice suddenly sounded.

nThe boy who had already accepted his fate opened his eyes when he heard the voice and looked at the source of the sound immediately.

nThe child’s awkward body was still a bit unstable. The torch he got from somewhere was held in his hand as he rushed forward with vigor. He pointed the tip of the torch at the wolf’s position and forced the hungry wolf back one step at a time.

nIt may be out of the animal’s nature to be afraid of fire that the wolf jumped off the boy’s body. With eyes that glowed in the night, he stared deadly at the child and made some distance.

n

n

nBut it didn’t give up. Instead, it chose to hover in place for a while and kept circling, as if it was waiting for the child to leave so it could rush up and proceed to enjoy its meal.

nFor it, this is a gourmet meal, so how could it give up so easily?

nThe child was trembling with his tears running down his face. The hand holding the torch was shaking, and it seemed as though he would run away in the next second because of fear.

nThe boy stared at his face, looking at him slightly lost in thought, without speaking.

nTime passed by, and the child still stood in front of him with a resolute face, like a knight holding the torch in his hand as though it was a sword, his weapon to protect his beloved one.

nEven if he is afraid, he is still fearless.

nThe flaming light of the torch shone into the child’s eyes.

nThe gray-eyed boy looked at these eyes that glowed brilliantly in the night and slightly had his mouth open wider with an indescribable sensation.

nIt was as if…

nHe seemed to see………

nA sky full of stars.

nHe was seeing salvation for the rest of his life.

nHe was seeing his whole world.

n–

nYang Ru and Li Gou Dan’s nerves were close to breaking down.

nThese corridors were like a maze. There were no windows, and in the darkness, they couldn’t see any difference. It was like they were circling in the same place, and they couldn’t see the way out.

nThey couldn’t get out.

nLi Gou Dan hit the wall with his hand in despair.

nAs Li Gou Dan smashed his hand against the wall, it was as though he had found something, and his eyes widened. He traced the bumpy spots on the surface of the wall and said in surprise, “Are there words on this?”

nYang Ru was immediately attracted when she heard it and strode over.

nShe moved closer and began to identify the script carefully. She looked at the pattern on the wall, and after a pause, hesitantly said, “It’s English.”

nWhen Li Gou Dan heard it, he was excited, “Then, you should translate it quickly.”

nHowever, Yang Ru frowned, “The words on this seems to be somehow wrong………”

nBefore Yang Ru could finish, Li Gou Dan waved his hand impatiently.

nSu Jingxia stood indifferently at the side, but his eyes suddenly flickered. He looked a bit changed, and he said in a deep voice, “I’ll do it.”

nYang Ru glanced at him suspiciously a few times.

nIt was not that she was against him, but because she could speak English herself. English was like a native language to her, and she was very fluent. However, the English words on the wall were still wrong even when she read them in her usual way of speaking English. They could not be English at all, but she stepped back out of respect and gave way to Su Jingxia.

nSu Jingxia did not speak and had both hands in his pockets. His eyes were firmly fixed on the characters on the wall.

nThe time passed, and for a while, the three fell into an eerie silence as no one spoke.

nLi Gou Dan stood on the side with an urgent expression and said anxiously, “Do you understand it or not? If you do, translate it quickly, and if you don’t understand it, just say so.”

nSu Jingxia was not angered by his arrogant tone. On the contrary, he bowed his head and hooked his lips. His eyes were hidden under a shadow, which made it difficult to see his expression. It was incredibly mysterious in the dim environment.

nSo that’s how it is.

nSu Jingxia remembered Xu Caitong’s last words before he died, and it all became evident in his mind.

nLi Gou Dan stepped forward, wanting to continue to say something.

nHowever, before he could make a sound, he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his abdomen. He immediately stared at Su Jingxia with a disbelieving expression, as if he didn’t understand why he would suddenly do that.

nIn an instant, an unpleasant smell of blood spread in the air.

nSu Jingxia was still holding Xu Caitong’s dagger in his hand, but at this moment, the blade had already been completely submerged in Li Gou Dan’s abdomen.

nSu Jingxia’s indifferent face still did not have the slightest fluctuation of emotion, but a closer look would reveal a sense of bloodthirsty horror. He pulled the dagger from Li Gou Dan’s abdomen, and blood spurted out along, splashing directly onto Su Jingxia’s clothes.

n

n

nSu Jingxia gently scraped his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and the corners of his mouth rose.

nHe already had several human lives on his hands, and even the bloodstains on his clothes were from a few people.

nHeh, after all, he was already a lunatic.

nThere was no need to reason with a madman.

nLi Gou Dan supported his abdomen with one hand, and his other hand was holding the wall. Before his slightly open mouth could close, he completely lost his support and fell to the side.

nAnd perhaps before he closes his eyes completely, he will not even know what the truth of his death is.

nYang Ru was utterly stunned by the scene in front of her.

nInstantly, she felt terrible.

nShe took a step back without hesitation, and without saying anything, she ran like crazy.

nIf she didn’t run, that maniac would definitely kill her!!!

nSu Jingxia cocked his head and didn’t chase after her at first. Instead, he laughed out loud from where he was as if he was laughing at her discomfort.

nThe hand that was holding the dagger paused. He looked down and wiped the blade on his clothes. He looked like a psychopath as his eyes widened and were almost bulging out.

nSince the mouse is disobedient, of course, it is necessary to kill it!

nThen, in that case, let’s play hide and seek.

nYang Ru’s breathing became increasingly rapid, and her heartbeat pounded incessantly as she ran with all her strength.

nShe doesn’t want to die!

nWhy would she want to die?

nIt was at this moment that her brain lit up; it was like an afterthought reaction.

nWait, the English on the wall just now seems to be in the Caesar Cipher!!!

nBy shifting all the letters back three places in the alphabet, new English words can be introduced.

nIf that was the case, then the translation…

nYang Ru’s heart beat faster.

nIt translates to………

nKill everyone so you can leave this place.

nHeh, do you want to get out of here alive?

nBurst out your killing nature and kill with madness.

nThis is my eternal curse upon you.

nHeh.

n–

nThe sleeping Xiao Chen snapped his eyes open and grabbed his chest with his fingers tightly. He was covered in cold sweat, and there was a throbbing pain in his chest that was almost suffocating him.

nHe remembered, he remembered!

nHe actually came to this place!!!

nXiao Chen sat up, and his eyes were slowly horrified.

nSuddenly, a chest tightly embraced his entire shoulder from his back, and Xiao Chen trembled slightly at the moment he was touched.

nIt was Yu Mo.

nXiao Chen turned around with a pale face and met Yu Mo’s gray eyes. Yu Mo’s eyes were still so gentle, and his gaze was full of deep love and affection that could not be hidden.

nXiao Chen opened his mouth and stared at these gray eyes.

nHe finally remembered.

nHe witnessed the man with gray eyes in front of him throw all the people in the village into this bizarre corridor.

nLetting those people be devoured by pythons, pecked by crows, tormented by darkness and hunger, and finally, people eating people.

nHe even set up a game rule of having only one survivor so that the group would kill each other inside.
