"I don't know about that either. Just leave it to fate." Ritsuko shrugged helplessly.
A rational person like Ritsuko said this, and Zhang Ke had no choice but to wait for it to happen. However, the result was unexpected. Until the strange sound stopped, this time neither a trap spider appeared nor an iron door opened.
"What does this mean? You can't just set off firecrackers to scare us when you have nothing to do, right?" Zhang Ke was very puzzled.
"Although it is possible that it is just to put a psychological burden on us, this nursing home should not play such low-level tricks. Some mechanism must have been activated, and the noise is not small." Ritsuko knew that Zhang Ke felt guilty.
Frightened, he spoke to comfort him:
"But in other words, if we can set up such a troublesome mechanism here, it is very likely that this road is the correct passage we are looking for."
"Whatever mechanism it is, if the worst happens, it will be reincarnated again." Zhang Ke also realized that his emotions were noticed by Ritsuko, so he mustered up the courage to take the lead and move forward.
Sure enough, after the two of them walked a few steps, a wall suddenly fell down in front of them about ten meters away.
The two of them were startled at first. When they were about to turn around to confirm their retreat, they found that the retreat was also blocked by the same wall.
At the same time, the wall where the iron door was enclosed on the inner wall was lifted up somehow, forming a dark door.
"What do you mean? Are you forcing us to go in?" Zhang Ke had already lost his temper by this surprise and didn't even bother to get angry.
"But if we don't go in, we will be trapped here alive, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable." Ritsuko sighed, "Fortunately, we know that they don't want our lives, so they may not necessarily kill us here.
Otherwise, if you just want to trap the escapees, there is no need to do anything extra and just block us in the corridor."
"You're right, these people just had nothing to do, so they built such a crappy thing, throwing ordinary people into it to suffer, to satisfy their perverted hobbies like psychopaths. You are behind the camera at the moment
, are you watching with enthusiasm? When I go out, see if I don’t twist your heads off and use them as wine flasks——”
Zhang Ke didn't know where the camera was. He said this not so much because he wanted the people hiding in the monitoring room to hear it, but rather to encourage himself.
Even so, standing at the door, you can see that the room is dark and dark. According to the habits of those perverts, even if they don't arrange a real life-threatening test, they will definitely make frightening noises.
It will make people come out so easily.
He is an adult man, so it is easy to say anything, but Ritsuko, a little girl, no matter how strong she is, how can she endure the dual torment of darkness and fear?
"Don't worry about me. I have grown up in a deeper dark society, but there is nothing to fear from the physical darkness." Ritsuko once again saw through Zhang Ke's mind, and her sensibleness made her even more pitiful.
This time, I saw her walking in front of Zhang Ke and taking the lead into the door.
So Zhang Ke quickly followed in. No matter what, this little girl could not be allowed to face the darkness inside alone.
They quickly left the area where the fluorescent lights at the door could shine. From the door, they could observe that the wall inside the door did not seem to be any different from the outside, except that there were no iron doors in the corners.
And if he and Ritsuko held hands, their other hands could just barely reach the two walls, because this passage was much narrower than the main road outside.
Although Ritsuko was also worried that if he went further inside, there might be some weird mechanism installed on the wall, which would make it more difficult to avoid.
But now, compared with considering the unknown threat, getting out of this dark passage is the most important, so Zhang Ke still holds hands with Ritsuko, each of them is responsible for detecting a wall: one is to prevent them from getting separated, and the other is to avoid missing any corners.
Hit a dead end.
It took about thirty minutes to arrive, but their bodies felt as if several hours had passed.
Along the way, they turned countless corners. Originally, they could barely imagine where they were at the moment, but they gave up this useless attempt twenty minutes ago.
Fortunately, during this process, they did not encounter any strange mechanisms or hear any strange sounds. Therefore, although they were unable to see their fingers, their mental state was relatively stable.
——Of course, this happened in the first thirty minutes.
When they walked around the next corner, they suddenly heard the sound of an animal mourning in their ears. It sounded like a tiger or a lion. Anyway, from the sound, they knew that the owner of the sound was definitely not a character to be trifled with.
Zhang Ke stopped immediately and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, they won't let us go on so easily."
"...We still have to go." Although Ritsuko's tone was calm and gentle, Zhang Ke could hear the unnatural trembling in her voice when she spoke.
Even without carefully distinguishing the sound, Zhang Ke could notice that Ritsuko's hand in his hand began to tremble.
After all, she is still a sixteen-year-old child. No matter how strong she is, she cannot remain calm forever. Moreover, Ritsuko's strength is forced by the surrounding environment. She may not be looking forward to this strength.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ke couldn't help but comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, even if it is a real tiger, I am willing to be a martial artist for you."
"Don't worry... don't worry, it's probably not true. Not to mention how to feed this tiger in this maze and let it live until now. The night vision ability of cats is based on the presence of low light.
Basically, this is an environment with no light or sound at all. If we really raise tigers here, I'm afraid the tigers won't survive more than a month."
Ritsuko tried to use scientific knowledge to soothe his fearful heart: "This must be an illusion, or a mechanism that plays sounds. It's definitely not a real tiger anyway."
"Listen to you, let's keep moving forward." As Zhang Ke spoke, he instinctively covered Lüzi behind his back, stood a little forward, and cautiously leaned forward.
Sure enough, as Ritsuko expected, there was no tiger, but the sound never stopped. This was their instinct to slow down. So when they were about to adapt to the dark eyes and saw a rectangular piece of light again, in reality,
The time is already twenty-three fifty-five.
"Hold on, victory is right in front of you!" Although these were words to comfort Ritsuko, Zhang Ke's heart was indeed full of excitement at this time.
"Yes, even if there is a trap ahead, I want to leave this dark place as soon as possible." Midori was obviously fed up with this darkness, and her voice sounded like she was crying.
Zhang Ke felt very distressed. Since there was no need to detect the wall anymore, he simply picked up Lüzi and ran toward the light.
Although Ritsuko was a little shocked and embarrassed for a moment, she quickly lay on Zhang Ke's back obediently, with a smile on her face.
Although the bright light made them uncomfortable now, they still half-closed their eyes and rushed out.
It wasn't until their pupils could fully adapt to the light that they could clearly see that the stone wall behind them was slowly rising, and the doors of the maze were slowly falling one after another like curtains.
However, what appeared behind the rising stone wall was the figure of Director Lu that he had seen before.
