"Your pockets are full of stones, and they are useful at this time. Every time you advance a certain distance, you will throw a stone behind you, attracting possible existences in the darkness..."
Tesla didn't say "next", which meant that it wasn't Lu Li's turn to act yet. But Lu Li still said at this moment: "I threw the stone so that his sister could hear it."
"...And, let his sister hear it. If she is still alive, she has not eaten for more than ten days, and she will easily miss the rescue due to her weakness."
"You maintained the frequency of throwing stones and walked along the right wall in the dark ruins. Your palms touching the wall were cold and numb, and the stones in your pocket began to fall. You have forgotten how many times you turned. Fortunately, you always
Stay on the right side so you won't get lost in the ruins. You can always turn around and go back if you want."
"Boundless darkness rushes towards you, and your eyes that have adapted to the darkness still cannot see anything. This absolute darkness and silence begin to make you panic and unable to stay calm, and 'a small amount of inner strength disappears'. You begin to think wildly, maybe you
It’s time to explore no more. The investigator’s mission has almost been completed, and he can return the same way. As long as he tells the villagers that his sister has disappeared, he will understand him. After all, nearly half a month has passed. Thinking of this, you
Decide--"
Lu Li: "Calm yourself down."
"Your palms touched the raised stones on the wall, and you felt a twinge of pain. You suddenly woke up and recalled your thoughts just now - that kind of flinching shouldn't happen to you. You realized that your sanity has been lost due to exploring the ruins.
And it has dropped to a somewhat bad level. You have to hurry up."
"Like before, you took out a stone from your pocket and threw it behind you. The sound of the stone bouncing on the ground echoed in the empty passage. Just when you were about to move on, a weak voice sounded from nowhere."
"'Brother, is that you?' That was a girl's voice. It bounced off the wall, making you unable to find the source of the voice. You were startled and planned to——"
Lu Li: "Keep silent."
"The weird human voice made you wary and you didn't answer. 'Brother?' The voice sounded again, a little more anxious, but you still couldn't distinguish the location of the voice. You waited quietly for a while, and the voice stopped ringing.
, the surroundings have returned to calm. Next you have to——"
Lu Li: "Ask who she is."
"You seemed to think the other person wasn't weird, so you couldn't help but break the silence and ask: 'Who are you?'"
"'It's me, brother, I'm Remy...' There was a little more surprise in that voice. Are you going to-"
Lu Li: "Tell her: Great-grandmother has brought the villagers to rescue you."
"'What are you talking about? Didn't our great-grandmother die long ago?" The voice suddenly stopped and stopped ringing. You confirmed her identity in this way, and you plan to—"
Lu Li: "Tell her: I am not your brother. I met your brother outside. He escaped from the ruins, but when he wanted to take you out, he found that the entrance to the ruins was occupied by monsters again. He could not find a chance to save you.
Until my arrival. He proposed to lure the monster away by himself, and I will come in to find you."
"Perhaps out of sympathy, or perhaps because it was not the time to explain, you did not tell Remy what happened to his brother, but made up some content. 'Do you really know my brother...?' The voice sounded again, with a probing tone.
with caution.
Lu Li: "Answer yes, and then describe her brother's appearance."
"In order to make Remi believe it, you described her brother's appearance. This made Remi confirm that you knew her brother, and she coughed out of excitement: 'Can you take me away...'"
Lu Li: "Answer: Yes, but before that I have a question. What do you do for a living these past ten days?"
"Your question made Remi silent for a moment. '...bugs.' She replied after ten seconds. 'There are bugs in the cracks of the floor. I don't know what they are. I'm starving, so I can only catch these."
The bugs were put into my mouth... They were still moving. I was afraid that they would bite my belly, so I bit them into pieces and swallowed them... Then I licked the water droplets on the wall frantically to make the smell fade, and I...
Please... don't ask anymore...'"
"Remi's voice was very painful, and she was on the verge of mental collapse. After all, she was just a girl, and she had been trapped in a strange ruin for more than ten days. Perhaps her sanity had dropped to a very terrifying level."
"'Come in quickly!' Suddenly, she urged, her voice full of anxiety, which made you a little uneasy."
Lu Li: "Get close to her."
"You suppressed your anxiety, asked for her location, and recognized her voice leaving the wall and heading towards the direction of the sound. 'I heard your footsteps,' Remi's weak voice sounded in front of you. 'Help.
I, I have no strength at all'"
Lu Li: "Pick her up on your back, and covertly grope her body during the process."
Sitting aside, immersed in the story, Old Pique couldn't help but raise his hands to applaud.
Tesla was not that vulgar. He guessed Lu Li's intention and continued to tell the plot.
"'I'll carry you,' you said, approaching Remi and pulling her up while she was leaning against the wall. Your movement of carrying her inevitably touched her body. Doubtful in your heart, you intentionally touched her even more.
There is a hint of warmth in the coldness of the girl's soft body. Apart from being very light, there is nothing strange about her. She is indeed a human being."
"You can understand the unusual weight. After all, she has stayed here for more than ten days and only relied on insects to survive. She will lose at least ten pounds."
"'Thank you...' she put her hands on your shoulders and said in your ear. 'Never light a torch,' she added, and you already knew that."
"You carried Remy out of the side room and walked to the opposite side according to the position in your memory. After taking a few steps, you began to feel uneasy. Because you should have touched the wall long ago, but your outstretched arm touched nothing.
…”
"You start to speed up, but after walking more than ten meters, there is still no end in front of you. You can't help but move closer to the side, and finally touch the wall. The uneasiness in your heart becomes more and more intense, and you find that you can't seem to discern the direction..."
"Remi noticed something strange about you and asked you what happened. Your answer was-"
Lu Li: "Answer truthfully."
"Tell the truth. What is surprising is that Remi sighed as if she had known it for a long time. "Is it still too late..." she said. You asked her eagerly what was going on."
"She told you that the passages and rooms in the ruins would change positions every once in a while. This was what she discovered after she couldn't help but walk out of the side room the day after her brother left. In fact, she was rescued by you
That side room is no longer the room where she and her brother took refuge in the first place."
