Chapter 128: Wei Madness (1/2)
”This wasn't what I was expecting at all from a treasure dungeon,” Melting Snow said as he walked next to Xinya.
Cocking his head to look at him, Xinya asked, ”What did you expect?”
”Something more than this, I guess,” Melting Snow begins. ”I thought that there would be traps and monsters around every corner. We have been walking for 30 minutes and nothing exciting has happened at all.”
”Maybe the maze is the only challenge in this dungeon. I really wouldn't mind that, we can finally have a nice and easy adventure.” Wandering Sound said, smiling slightly.
Shaking his head, Xinya said, ”While I do wish that this would be an easy adventure, I sincerely doubt that we will be that lucky. Some kind of monster is bound to pop up.”
”I know,” Wandering Sound sighed. ”It was just wishful thinking.”
”I don't know, Drifting Cloud. I think that Wandering Sound might be right.” Melting Snow said.
Rubbing Melting Snow's head with his free hand, Xinya said, ”Just because nothing exciting is happening now, doesn't mean it won't later.”
”Your right,” Melting Snow said while nodding to himself, ”I bet all we have to do is wait until we find the treasure, then the big bad to come out and attack us.”
”The big bad?” Wandering Sound asked Melting Snow with furrowed eyebrows.
Smirking, Melting Snow said, ”You know a boss monster, or if we are extremely lucky all of the bodies on the wall will come to life and attack us.”
”Tell me, how would thousands of bodies attacking us be lucky?,” Wandering Sound asked, with his mouth gaped open.
”Hmm... I have no clue,” Melting Snow said while scratching his head. ”But It would be the greatest experience I have ever had.”
The three men continued to talk happily together about random things as they walked not noticing how quiet Wei was being. If they did then they would have realized that something was very wrong with her.
She may have appeared normal on the surface as she continued to walk behind the group, but in reality, her mind was a complete mess. Thoughts that wasn't her own kept swirling around her brain, these thoughts were horrifying and slowly eating her up from the inside.
She wanted to talk to Xinya and tell him that something wasn't right, but every time she tried it was as if her words would get caught in her throat. No, it was more than that, to her it felt like something had invaded her mind and was messing with her.
Every time she tried to fight whatever was trying to take control of her, the thoughts in her head became louder. So loud that it drowned out every rational thought that she had.
Like a broken record player these thoughts kept repeating themselves over and over again. She started to succumb and started to think that maybe there was some credence to these thoughts. How she not when they made perfect sense to her.
They think you are worthless.
You can't do anything on your own.
You are always causing problems for others.
They don't need you.
They are planning to get rid of you soon.
