Chapter 051 Where the Light Doesn't Reach

"We have to go down quickly," said Flora.

"Um... let's just walk slowly, we'll be there soon."

Su Ming couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only give the other party a perfunctory answer.

Flora stared at the steps under her feet for a moment, then nodded blankly.

The three of them continued to walk down, and as they went down, Flora's spirit became more abnormal.

Her originally dull spirit gradually became tense, and she often looked around sensitively, as if looking for something.

She now looks like a sensitive mental patient, or a herbivore being targeted by a carnivore.

In this staircase, the light only illuminates a distance of one meter. No matter how she looked around, all she could see was ink-like darkness. But Flora couldn't stop looking around, as if if she tried to open her eyes wide, she could see something behind the darkness.

"Su Ming, do you feel it? Someone is watching us." Flora pulled Su Ming's sleeve and said in a low voice.

Su Ming stopped, felt for a while, and shook his head.

"I didn't feel anything."

"Yes, it really is!" Flora held Su Ming's hand tightly, her knuckles turning white, "Let's go quickly!"

Su Ming could no longer say any words of comfort, so he had to keep walking.

Maybe half an hour passed, or an hour?

Su Ming couldn't estimate.

In short, after walking down for quite a long distance, something unexpected happened.

It was Flora who had an accident this time. She was the first to raise doubts, saying that the flashlight seemed to have become brighter.

At that time, Su Ming didn't think there was anything strange because they had just changed the batteries of the flashlight.

But after walking downstairs for a few more minutes, Flora began to feel abnormal. She suddenly stopped and grabbed Su Ming who was going downstairs.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Ming asked with concern.

Flora opened her eyes wide, staring at the darkness in front of her, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Her hand holding the flashlight kept shaking, and the light kept shaking.

Su Ming, who was very close to her, could hear her intermittent breathing, as if it was squeezed out of her lungs.

Her chest kept rising and falling, and her breathing gradually became rapid and heavy.

Suddenly, Flora seemed to lose her strength and fell backwards. Su Ming was quick to grab her waist to prevent her from falling on the stairs.

Su Ming felt that the other person's body was as cold as ice.

"What's wrong, Flora! Say something!" Su Ming looked in the direction of Flora's gaze, but saw nothing.

Flora held onto the railing to maintain her balance and said in an almost trembling voice: "You...didn't you see it?"

The moment he saw the other person's eyes, Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened. Those were a pair of eyes filled with fear.

"What did you see?"

"...monster!" Flora squeezed out two words from her mouth.

"What monster?"

"But, Alice... is still down there... she's calling me." Flora said in a crying voice.

She began to answer questions irrelevantly.

"Calm down, calm down, I didn't see any monster, you are just hallucinating." Su Ming kept rubbing the other person's hands, trying to attract the other person's attention and ease his emotions in this way.

But Flora seemed not to hear it. She couldn't take her eyes away from the darkness, as if there really was a monster hiding there .

But Su Ming couldn't feel anything there. At this moment, he hoped that his super intuition could come in handy and tell him whether there was a monster ahead, but his super intuition didn't give any hints.

No, maybe there was nothing unusual there at all, so his intuition didn't react.

Is this also Flora's illusion?

Not necessarily. He remembered that the information said that anyone who entered here would encounter a monster. Maybe Flora really saw a monster.

As for why only Flora saw it, it was probably because she was the most affected by the anomaly among the three of them.

In short, necessary intelligence must be investigated.

Thinking of this, Su Ming asked again: "Flora, can you see it clearly?"

Flora nodded stiffly, her expression painful and conflicted.

"How far away is it?"

“…”

"Tell me! How far is it!" Su Ming raised his voice.

"3 meters... 4 meters? I don't know... it's very close." She said in a low voice.

Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "You cover me. The monsters here will most likely not harm anyone who comes in, but I might lose control of my behavior."

"If you lose control, I will control you ," said Xia Xiaoyu.

Su Ming nodded, comforted Flora a few more words, asked her to stay where she was, and walked downstairs with a flashlight, with Xia Xiaoyu following closely behind him.

He walked very carefully, and after each step he would stop to sense his surroundings, listening for any sounds in the darkness and whether his intuition was responding.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

…

Four steps.

There was no movement and nothing strange was seen.

Su Ming frowned, raised his hand and hooked his finger, signaling Xia Xiaoyu behind him to follow, and he continued to walk down a few steps.

No, there was nothing. Not to mention the shadow of the monster, even the scene in front of me didn't change at all.

There were still cross-welded iron railings next to it, and the steps under his feet were the same as before. Su Ming was sure that he had walked down more than three meters, but he saw nothing, and his super intuition also did not react at all.

Su Ming frowned and looked at Xia Xiaoyu behind him, "Did you feel anything?"

Xia Xiaoyu shook her head solemnly.

"I've walked about five meters, right?" Su Ming asked.

"Of course there is." Xia Xiaoyu replied.

"I think so too. It seems that Flora is having an illusion." Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and shouted, "Flora, there is nothing here!"

Su Ming's voice spread out, but dissipated after a short distance. His shouting did not cause .

Likewise, Flora on the top of the stairs did not respond... Didn't she hear it?

Su Ming suddenly had a bad feeling, so he turned around and walked upwards.

One step, two steps, three steps...

One meter, two meters... five meters...

Su Ming's pace was getting faster and faster, and Xia Xiaoyu followed closely behind him.

Su Ming was sure that he had just walked down about twenty steps, and now he had walked up about thirty steps.

But Flora was no longer there.

She disappeared.

"She ran away?" Xia Xiaoyu hesitated.

Su Ming shook his head: "I didn't hear any sound."

"It is possible that there is no sound in the darkness. This may be the characteristic of this place," said Xia Xiaoyu.
