Chapter 35.2 (2/2)

“So, how do you judge?” Xiao Tangqiu started to get even more curious.

Windbreaker Man laughed softly, “You will know once you become a veteran player.”

Xiao Tangqiu had to reign in his curiosity, but he made sure to remember what Windbreaker Man said, that is, these rules must not be violated, otherwise they would be killed off immediately. It appeared that they must return to their room before midnight and not leave the room throughout the night.

Shen Yuan put away the three photos put away, looked at Xiao Tangqiu and asked, “Do you have any medicine?”

Xiao Tangqiu paused, then looked down at his wounds. That large flock of birds had pecked at him all over, leaving many open wounds. His exposed skin was covered with bloody cuts of all sizes, which looked horrifying.

“I have a hemostatic……”

Before Xiao Tangqiu could finish speaking, Shen Yuan interrupted him, “Fu Ling, give him the special hemostatic spray.”

The tall and indifferent woman froze, then shot Xiao Tangqiu a chilly look, took out a black spray from her pocket and threw it to him.

Xiao Tangqiu immediately caught it but before he could thank Shen Yuan, the latter had already turned and left, leaving only a shadow behind him.

As soon as Shen Yuan left, the others followed suit.

Only Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian remained in the secret chamber. Xiao Tangqiu looked down at the special hemostatic spray in his hand with a slightly complicated look in his eyes. He had seen this in the vending machine before, and it cost a lot of points. Both his and Tang Mianmian’s points put together wasn’t even enough to purchase the spray, but Shen Yuan had conveniently handed it over to him just like that.

“Special hemostatic spray!” Tang Mianmian marveled. “The ordinary hemostatic spray is already so amazing. This special hemostatic spray must be a million times better! Quickly, try it!”

The two of them used the special hemostatic spray on their wounds and the effect was nothing short of miraculous. Their wounds disappeared instantly; skin covered the exposed flesh and looked just as smooth as before. Even the pain went away.

“Sure enough, this thing is really worth a thousand points.” Tang Mianmian sighed ruefully but soon recalled something and immediately hurried Xiao Tangqiu. “Quick! Put it away! We have to use it sparingly. If we have any minor injuries in the future, we’ll use the normal hemostatic spray. This special hemostatic spray should be saved for critical injuries!”

Xiao Tangqiu nodded in agreement. This special hemostatic spray was really effective and it couldn’t be casually wasted.

After their injuries were treated, they didn’t dare to stay in the attic any longer and quickly left the gloomy room.

Shen Yuan and and his team had left much earlier, leaving only the two of them in the dark corridor. Looking at the long staircase that seemed endless in the dark, even Xiao Tangqiu, who was usually brave, couldn’t help but feel a chill crawl down his spine. He tightened his grip on the flashlight.

Tang Mianmian tightly grabbed onto Xiao Tangqiu’s shirt. The two grown men leaned against each other as they carefully walked down the dimly-lit staircase with the help of the flashlight. The portraits of Lily Marlene hanging on the wall seemed even more strange at night.

“Why do I feel like……” Tang Mianmian’s voice trembled slightly, “The people in the portraits are looking at us…….”

Xiao Tangqiu gulped, “It’s just an illusion.”

Tang Mianmian’s voice faintly swayed, “But they really seem to be looking at us…..”

Xiao Tangqiu felt his scalp turn numb, but he could only force himself to stare ahead instead of looking to the side. “Don’t look at them. Keep your eyes to the front!”

Tang Mianmian sobbed, “Wuwuwu, what if they crawl out from the paintings when we’re not looking…”

Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath, “How about this? I’ll count from three and we dash down the stairs. No matter what we see, we don’t stop until we reach the second floor.…”

Tang Mianmian gasped, “Al-alright then!”

Xiao Tangqiu gripped his flashlight firmly and took another deep breath.

“Three, two, one! Run!”

Before Xiao Tangqiu could finish speaking, they started running down the stairs like their lives depended on it. In the silent castle, their footsteps sounded especially loud, thud, thud, thud, thud….

Throwing all caution to the wind, Xiao Tangqiu ran down the stairs, giving it his all. The sound of footsteps drifted into his ears. Soon, he found that besides their own chaotic footsteps, there seemed to be another slow and heavy set of footsteps. They were running really fast but those heavy footsteps appeared to be following them, maintaining a neither fast nor slow pace…..
