The eyes behind them are still following close behind, while making that slimy sound that makes your skin crawl, and they move with unexpected agility despite their seemingly huge size.

On the other hand, the darkness imposes a number of restrictions on the players' vision, and the clutter on the ground adds a number of obstacles to their progress, slowing them down considerably.

There was even one time when they almost turned into a dead end, but Luo warned them in time to avoid it.

Several times the trio almost lost the eyes behind them, only to have them catch up with them again.

"Phew ...... phew ...... why is it still there ......" After a long high speed obstacle course, Di Yifugui began to catch her breath. Although she was very explosive in battle, her endurance was not as strong as the two Xiao Lan's and she was already struggling a bit at this point.

Her legs began to get heavier and heavier, and her pace slowly slowed down, seeing that if she continued like this, it wouldn't be long before she fell behind.

Di Yifugui could see the blood in their eyes, which were only eyes, but she could see greed and ill will in their eyes.

Di Yifugui was disgusted enough: "Ah ...... I'm so beautiful, I can't die ！！！！"

She took a deep breath and drove her legs as hard as she could, pushing forward and continuing to grit her teeth to keep up with Xiao Lan's pace.

At this point, the fork in the road appeared ahead.

The one on the left would be the main passage and appears to be wider, while the one on the right is a little narrower.

Xiao Lan naturally noticed the decline in Di Yifugui's form and he made an immediate decision: "FuGui, take the road to the right, there will be fewer people there to follow you, find a chance to run by yourself then!"

Di Yifugui compared the difference between the two sides and realized that Xiao Lan was trying to pull the troops away from her side. ..."

"I'm literally in tears! I'll tell Xiao He when the game comes out this time and then together we'll pass this on and make sure you live on in history, fame and infamy for ...... no, millions of years!!!"

Xiao Lan Black Line: "...... Thanks, no thanks really."

He did not want to become something that would rival fossilised dinosaur droppings.

FuGui Ah, it's better to read more in the future.

In a flash, the fork in the road has been reached.

"Run!" Xiao Lan said and ran straight into the passage on the left.

Most of the eyed monsters also headed to the left at the same time, and in an instant the dense mass of eyes poured into the passage like a flood, obscuring everything behind them and looking more numerous than expected.

From a distance, Di Yifugui could be heard shouting.

"Wooooooooo! Brother Xiao is so fan worthy, I can call Brother Xiao for life!!!"

"May you be blessed with a hundred years of happiness!!!"

Xiao Lan: "......"

FuGui Ah, the phrase "a hundred years of good fortune" is not used lightly.

He turned his head and saw the smile on Luo's lips by the light of his torch, and it was clear that Luo found this amusing too.

Luo spoke with a smile, "Monsieur would have been a very nice man."

In fact, he prefers the phrase "a hundred years of happiness", and for the sake of it, he forgives the greenhorn who keeps looking at his master with eager eyes.

Xiao Lan immediately felt a sense of powerlessness inside. What exactly did Zhao Xiaohe describe to Di Yifugui?

The eyes behind them were still in hot pursuit, with the madness of a private student meeting his own love interest.

The two men quickened their pace and hurried forward.

But running like this is not an option and Xiao Lan starts to run and look around for something to block the eyes.

Solely unlike the more empty area before, there is quite a lot of stuff around here.

Xiao Lan Follow the light of the torch one by one, the bin does not work, too small; fire extinguisher does not work, this is even smaller; chair does not work, too many gaps; billboard still does not work, too light ......

It was taller than a grown man, very wide and metal, stuffed to the brim with the words "flood control supplies".

It's an emergency equipment storage cabinet for flood prevention supplies! And an oversized one at that.

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up and this was it!

" Luo! Give me a hand." Xiao Lan called out to Luo and quickly ran towards the cupboard.

The cabinet held a number of sandbags for flood control, plus seven or so other pieces of equipment, so naturally it was very heavy. But with the combined efforts of the two men, it was lifted up like an ordinary paper box and then placed horizontally on the access road.

It is a shade wider than the passage, stopping the whole passage horizontally, leaving only a small space above.

"Boom boom boom boom-"

The monster made of eyes hit the flood control cabinet with a dull thud.

However, the flood control cabinet shifted slightly, still blocking the road so tightly that the huge number of eyes hardened and failed to find a gap below to pass through, and they stacked up and began to move towards the only gap above.

Now that you have a flood control cabinet, how can you not have other supporting items?

Xiao Lan took a dusty flood barrier Luo had found nearby and shoved it into the gap above, which could not be closed tightly enough for these eyes to get through any time soon.

There are constant attempts to ram the flood control cabinet with eyes, making the cabinet thump.

Xiao Lan and Luo simply piled everything they could find nearby, such as chairs, rubbish bins, fire extinguishers and billboards, behind the cupboard and up against the back of the flood control cupboard.

The eyes kept rushing, but had difficulty shaking the wall of miscellaneous objects.

Only a few scattered eyes emerge from the gaps at the top and fall to the ground, looking somewhat pathetic.

Seeing this, the two quickly left the passage.

--

Away from the passage, silence returns ahead, with only the occasional ticking of water echoing through the space, hollow and monotonous.

In the pitch darkness, the only sound was the light of a torch and the sound of footsteps, which made for a depressing experience.

This is probably the instinctive fear of darkness that comes from human beings. Even though Xiao Lan has been through the game a few times, he still feels uncomfortable after spending time in this environment.

He still prefers to pick up the gauntlet and have a blood-splattered fight with the boss than this threat from the shadows.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but move a little closer to Luo, feeling a little more secure as the sound of his footsteps and the scraping of his clothes became clearer around him.

At that moment Luo suddenly reached out and took Xiao Lan's wrist, although through his gloves he could feel his bony hand, which was still not very warm, but it suddenly made Xiao Lan's irritation subside.

"Sir, I was worried about getting separated from you." Luo's voice came out of the darkness with its usual gentle grace.

This is of course only a superficial excuse.

In fact it was he who noticed that Xiao Lan was not in the right state at the moment. According to the information he had read before, humans are indeed prone to heart problems if they are in a dark and closed environment for a long time.

Perhaps it is also partly due to Luo's own aversion to darkness.

He had been trapped in darkness and nothingness for a long time, and the feeling of being a prisoner made him reject the darkness even now. It is only when Xiao Lan is clearly around that Luo feels that even the darkness is not so tiresome.

Xiao Lan didn't tear down the obvious excuse either, and the two kept it that way, moving on without a word of caution.

--

Shortly afterwards, a bulletin board appeared ahead.

Xiao Lan went up to examine it and saw that there were some announcements of some sort posted on it, including a timetable, which was a half-hourly one, which would be an unbelievable time for a half-hourly metro if it were in the present day.

When she withdrew her hand, Xiao Lan found herself with that black dust on her hand again, on the back of the train's timetable, whereas there were no such marks on the backs of the other bulletins.

What exactly do these black and grey represent? Why do they appear repeatedly?

"Sir, look over here." Luo pointed to the side of the bulletin board.

Xiao Lan turns his eyes and notices two white coin-like objects stuck in the gap next to the notice board, and on closer inspection they are two tickets.

Xiao Lan, who was now cautious about the ticket after the previous incident with it, examined the surroundings carefully and found no signs of ghosts or spirits. He looked at the ticket again, which was clean and showed no suspicious traces of suspected blood.

Xiao Lan reached out and picked up the ticket, the white one clashing crisply in his hand.

After a while, nothing strange happened either.

He was about to stuff his ticket into his pocket when Luo stopped him.

"Please let me keep it." Luo reached out and took the two tickets from Xiao Lan's hand and put them in his coat pocket.

Xiao Lan certainly didn't think he was trying to get the tickets all to himself. Since the tickets seen before were faulty, there was no guarantee that these two were completely safe, and the one with the tickets naturally had to face more threats.

Luo Is this ...... protecting him?

Aware of the situation, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "You ......"

"Please don't worry." Luo's voice was low, his tone soft as if he were whispering to a lover, a little smile in his voice, "It is my honour and privilege to serve you."

Hiss ...... This is a hell of a statement.

Xiao Lan covers up her precarious sexuality, Luo, what a guy, can't you talk properly!

What a tone you're taking!

What a line!

He shook his head to get rid of the moisture with a little pink bubble in it and began to turn his attention back to the ticket.

Now they had the tickets, or two at a time. According to the clue they found earlier, they get the tickets and they can leave the station, leaving the station is leaving this playground, that is to say - the pass.

The process seemed incredibly easy, but Xiao Lan had a feeling it wouldn't be that simple.

If you just need to find the ticket, why does the game say "come to ...... this way ......" when "this way Where does "this way" refer to?

None of this is mentioned in the clues so far.

It seemed that there was something else they didn't know, something unknown that might lead to that "side".

Xiao Lan said to Luo, "Come on, let's go on the train again."

"Yes, sir." Luo said.

The author has something to say.

The Guide to Human Husbandry states that humans do not like the dark.

Luo: Sir, I'll contract you for all the light bulbs in the world!

Xiao Lan: ......
