Chapter 50 - An Unforgettable Day (2/2)

Holding his breath, Brook kept waving his hands in the air, hoping to get rid of the smell.

It seemed that this was a wine cellar.

He shook his dizzy head and waited for a while.

He did not know if his nose had adapted to the air or if the smell was almost gone.

In short, he did not feel so uncomfortable, so he started to take the next step.

He carefully turned over and went into the barrel.

Fortunately, the barrel was big enough to accommodate him alone.

After doing all this, he closed the lid and waited for time to pass.

The victory condition that Flanders mentioned was that he would be able to win if the sun rose without being discovered.

Therefore, he only needed to hide here and wait until daybreak.

Brook quietly listened to the movements outside. He took out a cell phone from his pocket.

As expected, he saw that the cell phone had no signal when he turned the battery on the screen.

He had expected this result.

“Six o’clock?”

Looking at the time, Brook turned off the screen and closed his eyes with a heavy heart.

There was still a long time before the next day’s dawn. This was not good news.

‘Can I really wait until that time?’

When he was in the dark and alone, he could not help but think too much.

Just as Brook doubted himself, he suddenly felt an itch.

Something seemed to sweep across his neck.

Hmm?

Was it a bug?

No, no, it felt different.

Brook did not act rashly. At this moment, the hair-raising mathematical feeling came back.

This time, Brook felt with his heart and indeed felt something sweep across the back of his neck.

!!

Brook immediately became alert. His muscles tensed up, he held his breath, and his whole body focused on feeling the movement around him.

What was that thing? It was as thin as a brush.

If he could, he really wanted to light up his phone and use the light from the phone to see what was behind him.

But he could not do that.

Time passed by slowly.

And Brook’s nerves were at their limit.

He felt like he was going crazy.

Every time he thought he was okay and wanted to relax, that feeling would appear.

And the other party was no longer limited to aftershocks. His back, legs, arms had all been touched.

As time passed, he had a certain understanding of what was touching him.

The black hair that tied them up, in the beginning, flashed through his mind.

He thought it was just an ordinary rope, but he did not expect it to be a hair monster.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the monster was behind him, and the more he did not dare to act rashly.

After all, humans were not machines. Anyone would not be able to stand being tense for a long time.

Finally, Brook could not bear the torture. He took out his phone shakily and then suddenly turned around to look behind him.

His bloodshot eyes were wide open, but there was nothing.

“Huh?”

Nothing? How could it be?

He looked around carefully, and all he saw was the dark brown inner wall of the wooden barrel.

There was really nothing.

After repeatedly confirming it, Brook subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.

Could it be that everything that happened just now was an illusion of him scaring himself?

Just as he was consoling himself, he felt a piercing pain in his ear.

“Are you looking for me?”

His long black hair fell on his shoulder, and a head wrapped in long hair appeared beside Brook.

“…”

!

“Ah!”
