Chapter 816: Chapter 816: It’s All a Misunderstanding
Bai Youwei twirled her pen thoughtfully, “The daily routines of these three people must be a ss; living in an environnt without light and having nothing to do, I reckon they spend most of their ti sleeping each day…”
“Besides sleeping, there really isn’t much else to do,” Shen Mo said indifferently, “unless they have the courage to step out of this Stone Chamber and move into a new one. But they don’t, for fear of the Minotaur.”
Bai Youwei sighed softly, “I still find it strange. According to them, they’ve been attacked by the Minotaur at least seventeen or eighteen tis. Yet they also said that the Minotaur moves as many spaces as the player does. Such frequent attacks… That just doesn’t seem very likely to .”
Shen Mo picked up the piece of paper in front of her and looked at it.
She had drawn so squares, seemingly trying to simulate the route they had just taken.
“Don’t bother with that, it’s not accurate,” Bai Youwei said. “In all the rooms we walked through just now, there was at least one spatial jump. We can’t determine the location of the displacent now, so any map we draw would be wrong.”
...
Shen Mo mused, “We need to find a way to mark these rooms, otherwise, if we just randomly open doors, we’ll eventually run into the Minotaur. I’ll go out and talk to everyone, pool our ideas, and see if we can co up with a solution.”
“Okay…” Bai Youwei sighed lightly and lazed down, “I’ll take a rest as well…”
Darkness sotis induces fear and tension, but at other tis, it brings relaxation and the desire to rest.
In a short ti, no one could co up with a good idea, and there was no progress on Bai Youwei’s side, so they decided to stay and rest in this Stone Chamber for the day.
By nightfall, everyone was extrely exhausted and all lay down to rest. Shen Mo arranged for guards to keep watch in shifts.
…
Wrapped in a blanket, Bai Youwei snuggled into Shen Mo’s arms for warmth. The tent was cozy from their closeness, fostering an indescribable warmth and comfort.
Later, the light outside went out.
Leonid’s voice was heard complaining, “These batteries really don’t last…”
Fumbling in the dark, Leonid’s voice rustled as if he were rummaging through a bag for batteries.
Inside the tent, Bai Youwei quietly asked Shen Mo, “Is Leonid on guard duty?”
“Hmm,” Shen Mo replied, “He’s on until midnight, then it switches to Asarina, at 2 a.m. it’s Du Lai… I’ll take over at 4 a.m.”
“It’s too exhausting.” Bai Youwei leaned on him and muttered, “If we could get into the dollhouse, we wouldn’t need to keep watch at all…”
She thought for a mont and suggested, “Why don’t we two sneak in?”
After all, both of them were in the tent, even if they entered the dollhouse, the people outside wouldn’t know.
But Shen Mo disagreed, “If sothing happens while we’re in the dollhouse, we wouldn’t be aware of anything.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than, as if on cue, a scream sounded from outside the tent!
Bai Youwei jumped with fright!
Chen Hui’s voice rang out loudly, “What are you going to do?! Get away! Get away!!!”
Shen Mo imdiately dashed out of the tent!
Leonid had already caught the assailant outside and shouted, “What were you trying to do just now?!”
Everyone woke up.
Several beams from flashlights converged on the emaciated, pale man, who shivered and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Chen Hui stood by, still with a look of shock on her face.
Bai Youwei stepped out of the tent, frowned, and glanced over, asking, “What happened?”
“It’s a misunderstanding… all a misunderstanding!” Mark and Dylan hurried over, pulling Slade up from the ground, “He must’ve been dreaming again… Yes, that’s right, he was dreaming! He’s not in his right mind, often confusing dreams with reality. He didn’t an to scare you; please don’t take it the wrong way!…”
Bai Youwei frowned and turned to directly ask Chen Hui, “Chen Hui, what do you say happened?”
