Chapter 36 - The Death God Is Coming
Mu Yi Chu threw out all the clothes in the cabinet. After he was done, he opened all the drawers in the cabinet and found a messy pile of things: a phone stand, a steel wire loop, a fixed device, and a pile of things that even Mu Yi Chu didn't know.
Mu Chu put down the things and continued to rummage through the drawers. After flipping it over, he abruptly turned his head to look at the table. He rushed over to the table and drawers, found nothing, and threw himself on the bed again, frantically lifting up all the quilts and sheets.
”What are you looking for?” Another voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Mu Zi Chu suddenly raised his head from the blanket and looked towards the source of the sound. He shouted out loud before his brain could respond, ”Who is it?”
His voice was so hoarse that even Mu Chu himself felt it was terrifying. He had actually just invested so much that he didn't even know the extent of it. But before the conversation could answer, Mu Yichu recognized the man.
It was the woman who had hugged and slept with him last night. An Ningyuan.
”Why are you here?” Mu Yi Chu stared at An Ningyuan, he was obviously surprised, and asked with a cold and terrifying tone. He had no idea how horrible he looked in this dark room full of photos.
”I — come find someone.” Annie seemed to be trying her best to calm her emotions as she replied. Her face didn't reveal the usual smile, but instead an expression of surprise and shock.
”You, why are you here?” An Ningyuan frowned and asked, after that she turned her gaze to the other parts of the room. A few seconds later, Annie's face became as ugly as Mu Yi Chu, she seemed to be on the verge of collapse as she leaned on the wall.
She walked into the room, tore a picture from the wall, and said in an uncertain voice, in English, ”Cinderella?”
Mu's mind raced a few times, reacting to the name written on the back of the photo he had seen in her room this morning.
Who is Cinderella? Why did An Ningyuan say this name to Bai Zhongning's photo? Mu Ichu frowned, his mind in chaos. But after An Ningyuan appeared, he seemed to have become much calmer. With one more person, he wouldn't be so afraid.
Mu Chu walked towards An Ningyuan, but An Ningyuan covered his mouth and muttered to himself nonstop, ”It's really her, it's her, it's really like this …”
Mu Yi Chu did not understand what An Ningyuan was saying. He still had a lot of questions to ask this woman. But before he could say anything, the room went dark.
It was pitch black. Even the light from the bulb outside was gone. The room was plunged into darkness. Mu Yi Chu felt an ominous premonition in his heart. The electricity in this building had been cut off.
Mu Chu felt Annie approach him. The two of them were at a loss as to what to do. Suddenly, a strong vibration was followed by a loud sound.
”Ah — —” An Ningyuan screamed and almost fell down. Mu Yi Chu subconsciously supported her. An Ningyuan threw herself into Mu Yi Chu's embrace in fear. The two of them tightly held onto the unknown, waiting for the shaking to pass.
However, before this wave of shaking could subside, a stronger wave of shaking came crashing over. This time they felt the whole building shake.
”Let's go!” Mu Yi Chu pulled An Ningyuan.
They couldn't wait like this any longer. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, An Ningyuan was completely terrified and did not have any strength left. She shook her head, her legs so weak that Mu Yi Chu couldn't even stand up.
The shaking got more intense, and he felt that the next wave of impact was about to come.
He couldn't drag it out any longer. Mu Yi Chu released An Ningyuan's hand.
”Come up!” Mu Yi Chu crouched down and pulled An Ningyuan onto his back. After shaking and fixing his posture, Mu Yi Chu rushed out with his back facing An Ningyuan, who was still in the midst of the shaking ripples.
When he came here, he did not realize that this corridor was actually so long. Mu Yi Chu carried An Ningyuan on his back and ran with all his might amidst the thunderous sounds that rolled and surged in from all directions. The sound surrounded them as if it would soon engulf them all. An Ningyuan's chin trembled non-stop as it hit Mu Yi Chu's shoulder. In her hand, she was still holding onto a picture of Bai Zhongning.
Mu Yi Chu's heart was beating rapidly. He felt as if he could not get to the end of the corridor, and behind him came the sound of buildings collapsing and shaking.
It was getting stronger and stronger. It was as if death itself was chasing them, brandishing its terrifying scythe. Mu Yi Chu's heart was filled with a strong sense of fear that he would die here today. He felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier.
How about he just put An Ningyuan down? If he didn't carry someone on his back, then he could completely escape this place. Mu Yi Chu's hand that was carrying An Ningyuan, gradually lost its strength
At the staircase. It was the staircase. Finally, they arrived at the staircase.
