Chapter 169: I think I just hallucinated

“Is he gone?”

“He can run away even like that?”

Only after several minutes after Lotton’s figure had vanished from sight did Charlotte truly come back to her senses.

“Ayrin almost killed such a fearsome existence?”

“A fearsome figure even Audrey and Ivan fighting together couldn’t handle, but Ayrin actually sent him running away?”

“Ayrin, you…”

Thinking back to Ayrin’s figure when he fought moments ago, then thinking back to his figure desperately protecting her, Charlotte’s tears once again fell like a broken string of pearls.

“What are you crying for…We won after all…” The slow-on-the-uptake Ayrin actually still said something like that just then.

“How are you feeling?”

Hugging Ayrin, Charlotte couldn’t come to a decision: to leave from the tunnel Lotton had escaped from, or to stay where they were and wait for an arcane team to rescue them.

The only thing she was certain of was, someone ordinary would have been long dead already with injuries like these.

“I’m a bit cold… I think I really want to sleep…” Ayrin said.

Charlotte hugged him even tighter. “Don’t fall asleep no matter what.”

“Then keep talking to me… Talk to me about interesting things, then I won’t fall asleep probably.”

“Then… After we go out, I’ll go with you eat very tasty things. Weren’t you saying chicken legs were your favorite? I’ll treat you to a lot of chicken legs.”

“Can we try something else instead? Actually, I ate too many chicken legs, I’m a bit bored of them now.”

“Of course we can.” Charlotte was between laughter and tears. “As long as you’re fine, we can eat anything you want.”

“I wonder how Chirade’s deep-sea octopus would taste like roasted…”

“Chirade?” Charlotte suddenly shook. She only remembered then that Chirade had also been washed there, but when she looked back, she saw that the originally passed out Chirade seemingly not even breathing anymore.

“What’s this skill of Lotton’s?”

She saw that Chirade’s body was dyed with quite a few of those pale-white particles, because of the fight between Ayrin and Lotton. And the places polluted by those pale particles were already showing deep corrosion, exposing some terrifying wounds on him.

“Ayrin, say, what do you think we should do now? Stay here? Or try to find a way out ourselves?”

Charlotte had a little trouble standing upright herself when she remembered that Ayrin had also been pierced through by these pale-white particles.

“I used the skunk skill at the beginning… Audrey and the others are surely looking for us… We might as well shout.”

“Shout what?”

“Shout for help.”

“…”

Usually, if Charlotte were to be trapped or find herself in danger, she would definitely feel embarrassed to desperately shout for help. But in the present moment, she cared nothing about embarrassing or not.

“Is there someone? Someone, please come! Ayrin’s too heavily wounded!”

“Someone please come!”

She shouted for help with all the energy she could muster.

Her voice echoed in the quiet darkness of the surroundings, of the tunnels, but no answer came back while Ayrin’s eyes seemed to be slowly closing.

“No, Ayrin, you must hold on. They’ll definitely come here very quickly!”

“You mustn’t fall asleep whatever happens! After we go out, I’ll buy enough food to stuff an entire room, and pile it in your room,” Charlotte shouted at the top of her lungs, looking at Ayrin’s face.

“I’m so hungry…” Ayrin was actually still saying something like that at a time like this.

“No, no, he’s going to fall asleep soon… if he sleeps now, he might well never ever wake up again…”

Where did her courage come from? She had no idea. Thinking of keeping Ayrin stimulated in order to keep him from falling asleep, Charlotte closed her eyes and kissed him.

“Ah…” Ayrin gasped softly, his eyes suddenly widening.

“You…” Charlotte’s face was bright red.

“I think I hallucinated right now… I saw you kiss me…” Ayrn said, seemingly worried his injuries might have worsened.

“It wasn’t a hallucination!” Charlotte almost passed out. She closed her eyes once again and gave Ayrin a kiss.

“…” Ayrin was dumbstruck.

“…”

At the same time Charlotte lowered her head and kissed him, a black figure flashed inside at a stunning speed, coming from the tunnel Lotton had left from.

Charlotte only realized it when this black figure zipped near Ayrin and her.

Suddenly petrified, Charlotte saw an old man appear near her and Ayrin, clothed in a black robe, his mien seeming mysterious and inflexible.
