Chapter 38: A Cold Heart (7)

When Lin Sheng thought of this possibility, his hair stood on end and he felt his whole body go numb. He took off his cloak and shook it off quickly, then carefully checked his body.

After making sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Lin Sheng’s tense body finally relaxed, “You scared me to death.”

Maybe because he was too nervous, he muttered more than usual: “Damn, you don’t know, those bugs look all kinds of strange, the meanest thing is that there is a big spider disguised as a prop sword, it’s so lifelike, if I hadn’t noticed its eyes moving, I would have almost grabbed it stupidly.”

“It was just a few centimeters away. The moment I found out it was a spider, I was scared to death. Can you understand that feeling? Huh?”

Chu Yu listened and patted his shoulder sympathetically, “I can understand.”

Lin Sheng complained endlessly, “You said that I, who is not afraid of bugs, was scared like this. Those who are afraid of bugs would be scared to death if they went in. I don’t know which underworld game designer designed the road, it’s really embarrassing.”

Black Snake muttered softly, the voice was very light, “I remember there weren’t so many bugs on this road before, what’s going on…”

Bai You paused while touching the petals.

After Lin Sheng rested for a while and adjusted himself, Chu Yu said: “Okay, time is running out, less than two hours, let’s take the elevator, I saw that the next floor is the third floor.”

The elevator they took before could only reach the second floor from the first floor, and if they wanted to go to the third floor, they needed to find another elevator.

Bai You looked inside. As Chu Yu said, this elevator was a little gloomy, with a large space, no lights inside, and it was pitch black, but it was far from being scary to enter. So she was waiting for them here, obviously not for the reason she said.

The elevator switch button was a black seven-pointed star with a two-headed snake pattern on it.

Lin Sheng entered last and pressed the elevator switch with this strange pattern. The elevator started to move, and the last ray of light was also blocked outside by the elevator door, and the three people were shrouded in darkness.

The elevator stopped in just ten seconds. The elevator door hadn’t opened yet. Lin Sheng, who was standing at the door, took care of the two girls and planned to go out first. “Wait here for a while. I’ll go out and take a look.”

No response.

Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment and looked back subconsciously. It was pitch black. His eyes, which had adapted to the darkness, looked back and forth, but he didn’t catch the figures of the two people in this space.

Even the breathing sound he could feel before disappeared.

He suddenly became nervous.

“Lin Sheng, what are you looking for?”

A familiar cold voice suddenly came from behind him. Lin Sheng turned around and found that the elevator door had opened at some point. Bai You was standing outside the door, looking at him in confusion.

Lin Sheng was relieved and walked out, “I was wondering where you were. You’ve come out.”

He glanced at the floor behind Bai You. He didn’t see a wax figure. It seemed surprisingly normal, just an ordinary western-style building, but something seemed wrong. “Hmm? Where’s Sister Chu?”

Bai You pointed in the direction of an unknown place, “She has gone to explore first.”

“She left us so quickly, and I don’t know what she found. It’s quite curious.” Lin Sheng glanced at the passage.

Bai You suddenly spoke in a very light voice, “Isn’t this what you want too?”

“Ah?” Lin Sheng didn’t understand what she meant. He was stunned for a moment and looked back.

It was dark outside the wax museum. A crescent moon was framed in the retro window beside the girl. A faint silver light poured in from the window lattice and shone on her.

The light was half bright and half dim, and the pair of snow-blue eyes were half hidden in the dark. She smiled gently, seemed to tilt her head, and said the most direct words with great innocence.

“Don’t you want to be with me? Only with me.”

Lin Sheng: “!!!”

His face suddenly turned red, and it felt like it was burning. Lin Sheng felt his heart beating wildly.

So direct?

Although, although he had a good impression of her and cared about her, he came to participate in the dungeon to gamble on the possibility of seeing her, but he didn’t…

“Really?”

Bai You asked softly in a low voice, and the pair of snow-blue eyes looked at him quietly, as calm and peaceful as usual.

But Lin Sheng clearly saw a hint of grievance in those beautiful eyes, which was different from the usual cold emotion, and his heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

He suddenly didn’t dare to look at her directly, and glanced away in panic, “How do you know what I’m thinking… No! I don’t think so, you misunderstood…!”

The footsteps stopped in front of him, and the cold fingertips touched his cheek. At the same time, a chuckle sounded in his ears, tickling his cochlea, and Lin Sheng trembled all over.

“If not, why are you blushing?”

“……!!”

–

The elevator took too long to run. It had been half a minute and it hadn’t stopped. Chu Yu realized that something was wrong and frowned.

Is the distance between the second and third floors so far?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, the elevator door suddenly opened, and light shone in. Chu Yu realized that the two people around her were gone.

She called into the dark space, “Lin Sheng? Bai You?”

No response.

They were not in it.

Could it be that there was an alternate dimension in the elevator that teleported them to another place?

There was no other way, Chu Yu could only take the elevator to explore alone. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the corridor, she met some people who were so familiar that they couldn’t be more familiar.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but her hand was grabbed.

“Chu Yu!”

Chu Yu turned around impatiently, shook off her hand and cursed directly, “Cheng Qinglan, are you sick? Didn’t you make it clear before? Why are you still pestering me? Didn’t I sell it to you?”

“Sorry, Chu Yu, it was our fault before. We didn’t take care of your feelings.” Cheng Qinglan said, pursing her lips tightly, looking at her sincerely.

Qian Xingyu also came over, with an apologetic look on his face, “I’m sorry Chuzi, I was in a hurry and said that to you, why don’t you scold me? You can also hit me!”

“Yes, Chuzi, we were too reckless before…”

Zhuang Mengmeng also came over and said softly: “Sister Chuchu, they didn’t mean it. They regretted it after they said it. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Chu Yu looked at everything in front of her with her mouth open in surprise. Was she seeing it right? This group of guys who usually walked with their noses in the air and were arrogant would actually apologize honestly?

“Chu Yu, can you forgive us? We sincerely want to invite you back to the guild.”

They apologized so seriously that Chu Yu suddenly felt awkward, somewhat uncomfortable, and turned his head away.

“But you…”

“Chu Yu, we have known each other for several years. Don’t you know my personality? I am serious about what I say. The guild cannot do without you.”

“…”

–

[Ding Di]

[Cleaning mode has been activated. Please leave the first floor area as soon as possible]

This voice was like a heavy yoke, which made the hearts of the players trapped in the iron fence sink a little.

Cheng Qinglan and others looked even uglier.

“Damn, Chu Yu, this stinky cousin, knew the answer but didn’t tell us, and ran away by himself!” Qian Xingyu hammered the iron door hard.

“How could Sister Chu Chu be like this…”

“Don’t worry about her for now. What we need to consider now is how to get out of here.” Cheng Qinglan gave the order calmly.

“Boss, this fence is too strong, it can’t be opened at all!”

“Water! Water is starting to sprinkle from above!”

Someone shouted in surprise, and everyone looked up. The water was flowing down, soon flooding over the ankles, and continued to grow upwards.

“No, if this goes on, everyone will soon drown!”

After trying many methods without results, the water was already above the waist, and a player suddenly had an idea, “Isn’t there an NPC over there? Try talking to him?”

The players turned their heads to look at the wax boy, who was still concentrating on stacking cards and had no intention of paying attention to them.

Qian Xingyu picked up a piece of broken glass and threw it over, which just hit the card tower, and the tall card tower burst apart.

The wax boy turned around instantly, and his empty eyes stared at Qian Xingyu.

Qian Xingyu was frightened by this look, and quickly reacted. This was just an ordinary NPC, what was there to be afraid of.

He shouted: “Hey, kids, how are we going to get out?!”

The wax figure boy stood on the chair, stepping on the water that had already covered the surface of the chair, “Do you want to go out?”

“Yes, yes!”

“What else?”

“Nonsense, of course I want to go out!”

The wax figure boy tilted his head, as if he was thinking about something, smiled for a while, and his tone became lighter, “Then can you play with me?”

Play with an NPC child?

The players were all disdainful, but they didn’t show it on their faces. Instead, they smiled and said softly:

“Of course, kid.”

“It’s just playing games, simple.”

“As long as you let us out, we will definitely play with you!”

The wax figure boy clapped his hands happily after hearing this, “That’s great!”

I don’t know what he did, the fence gradually rose, and the players were relieved instantly. It seems that this kid is easy to fool and opened the door so easily.

As for playing games with him? Only ghosts have the time!

The water was already up to their shoulders. Once released, the players swam to the elevator that Chu Yulinsheng took without hesitation. They had been eyeing that place before.

Everything went smoothly. The players pressed the elevator button. The next thing to do was to wait for the elevator to come down from the second floor.

“Ah!” Qian Xingyu suddenly screamed and fell into the water, thrashing and splashing high. “What’s wrong, Xingyu!” Cheng Qinglan noticed his abnormality and saw that his expression was painful and ferocious, so he quickly dived down to see what was happening underwater. He saw a scene that made his pupils tremble. Several thick and terrifying tentacles swam in the water, weird and disgusting, as if they had life, grabbed Qian Xingyu’s legs and dragged him into the water. “Ah! Brother Qinglan! Save me!” Zhuang Mengmeng was also caught by the ankle and was struggling hard. He saw players being caught by tentacles one after another. Cheng Qinglan was about to use props to save his teammates. The next second, a tentacle unknowingly went around his back and tightly wrapped around his neck. “Ugh!”

The pain of being shackled to the point of breaking his neck and the pain of suffocation came at the same time. Cheng Qinglan held the tentacles on his neck with his hands, and felt dizzy and slowly lost his strength.

I don’t know how much time has passed, until the last moment of his blurred consciousness, he saw a small figure covered with tentacles and innocent words in his ears.

“Thank you, I had a lot of fun~”
