Chapter 2541 - 1150: Dead Ends on All Sides!
Meow!
The tabby cat is meowing.
Xu Daguan looks at Fang Mingyuan, then at Hu Wenwu, his face turning pale: "Am I going to be the last one?"
If Lin Baici breaks his legs and leaves them here as bait to attract that cat creature, then I’d be in deep trouble!
But he probably won’t, right?
Xu Daguan knows that his character can be a bit problematic and he’s not popular among classmates, but surely it’s not a death sentence?
"Don’t panic, I’ll definitely be the last to leave!"
Lin Baici reassures the three of them.
"We’re all from the same dorm room, we should stick together and face difficulties as one!"
Fang Mingyuan has witnessed Lin Baici’s character, and his cousin Fang Tianhua praised Lin Baici so highly, making him idolized beyond words.
Being able to fight alongside Lin Baici, he considers it an enormous honor!
As for dying?
You must be kidding,
that’s the Haijing god of forest!
"There’s also wealth and prosperity after hardships, and yet you don’t mention a word about it?"
Xu Daguan grumbles.
Meow!
The sound of the cat’s meowing gets closer, scaring Xu Daguan into a shiver, instinctively looking toward the coffee table’s exit.
"What the heck are they doing?"
Xu Daguan is very angry.
Hua Yue Yu has gone over, urging them, but those people are still moving very slowly down.
It’s not that they don’t want to move faster, but the tunnel is narrow, only allowing three people to walk side by side, and now with hundreds of people, it has resulted in congestion.
The main reason is those at the front. They are timid, worried about encountering danger, and thus hesitate to move forward, wanting to wait for Lin Baici to come down quickly.
As for the lives of those behind, they simply don’t care.
After all, nobody knows each other, and they themselves, having entered the tunnel, are likely safe, but moving forward, who knows.
"Wenwu, you go!"
Lin Baici instructs.
"..."
Hu Wenwu is afraid to die, but he considers Lin Baici a friend, and leaving him doesn’t seem quite right.
"Don’t hesitate, do as Old White said!"
Fang Mingyuan urges.
"Be careful, you guys!"
Hu Wenwu turns and runs.
Meow!
With a cat’s meow, the tabby cat from before jumps into the living room through the reverse glass.
It stands gracefully on the windowsill, looking around.
Lin Baici and the other two just stand there, naturally seen by the cat.
"Old White!"
Xu Daguan’s legs start to tremble: "I really can’t take it anymore!"
"If I run, you won’t blame me, right?"
Xu Daguan’s trust in Lin Baici’s noble character holds him back, otherwise, he would have already run away with someone else.
"Run!"
Lin Baici looks at the tabby cat: "Mingyuan, you go too!"
Xu Daguan, feeling as if granted a pardon, quickly runs away, as if chased by a pack of mad dogs.
Well!
In a sense, this tabby cat might be more terrifying than a pack of mad dogs.
As Fang Mingyuan and Xu Daguan leave the pentagram circle, the coffee table returns to its original position, stopping with only a fifth of the gap left.
Xu Daguan freezes upon seeing this scene.
"Wait!"
Xu Daguan instinctively turns around: "What about Old White?"
If Lin Baici moves, without anyone stepping on the circle, the coffee table will definitely close, then how will Lin Baici get down?
"Don’t worry, Old White definitely has a way!"
Fang Mingyuan rushes to the entrance.
The gap is already so small that Fang Mingyuan has to turn his body slightly to squeeze through.
"Hurry up!"
Xu Daguan looks anxious, constantly looking back while pushing Fang Mingyuan forward.
"Keep moving forward!"
Fang Mingyuan shouts loudly.
Even in the dim light, he can still see the crowd bustling ahead like a tourist spot during National Day holidays.
It’s completely jammed!
Meow!
The tabby cat gracefully jumps down, thinking Lin Baici is just in the living room and can’t run away, so it pounces towards Fang Mingyuan and Xu Daguan.
Lin Baici, already prepared, swings a pipe wrench vigorously!
Storm Hammer!
Whoosh!
The war hammer, condensed by Divine Power, swings towards the tabby cat.
Bang!
The floor shatters into a hole, wood chips flying everywhere.
The tabby cat halts abruptly, staring intently at Lin Baici.
Lin Baici didn’t miss; he deliberately avoided aiming at the tabby cat because he wasn’t sure if hitting the creature would increase the difficulty of contamination, so he stayed cautious.
The tabby cat notices Lin Baici’s strength, its fur bristles, growling at Lin Baici.
Lin Baici sees Xu Daguan enter, Divine Power operates, Nuwa Creation activates.
A clone identical to Lin Baici separates from his body like a cicada shedding its shell.
Lin Baici teleports!
Whoosh!
He appears directly at the exit.
With the clone stepping on the circle, the coffee table doesn’t close.
Meow!
The tabby cat realizes it’s been fooled, angrily pouncing at Lin Baici.
"Goodbye!"
Lin Baici sidesteps and retreats into the exit.
The next second, as Lin Baici retracts his consciousness from the clone, the clone Lin Baici shatters into spots of light and disappears from the living room.
No one steps on the pentagram, the coffee table rumbles back to its original position, closing the exit.
Meow!
The tabby cat swipes its paw furiously, scratching the coffee table, but to no avail.
...
The coffee table returns to its place, like scissors cutting off the incoming light, and the passage immediately darkens.
There’s noisy clamor ahead, packed like sardines.
In the cramped, narrow space, there’s a suffocating feeling of lack of air.
"This is scarier than a Spring Festival train!"
Xu Daguan complains.
He’s not worried at all because Lin Baici is right next to him, and after that performance, he feels his image in his roommate’s eyes must have improved!
