Chapter 1071

~6 min read 1,092 words

The female Haruno makes her feel at ease that she shouldn't suffer from gender bullying, while the male Lin Ye can deal with possible dangers.

In dangerous occasions, tall and sturdy men always make people feel more at ease, especially Lin Ye's calm temperament makes her feel more at ease.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Kurosawa Eiko spoke up.

Regarding this buffet restaurant that was obviously different from other shops, she did have the thought of going in to find out when she first arrived, but in the end, she chose to give up.

She was afraid.

It was already so scary outside, it was even more scary inside.

But now, with Lin Ye and Haruno present, she felt that perhaps they could go in and find out. Of course, if Lin Ye or Haruno could go in alone, she would be even happier.

But now, she also knew that she couldn't stay out of it. Once she made such a move, she would probably be crossed out of the companions' ranks by the two.

"Finish walking the remaining distance of the third floor first, then go to the fourth floor."

Lin Ye decided to finish walking the third floor first, to prevent other shops with orange-yellow light from existing on the third floor.

"Okay."

Haruno naturally didn't object, and the yoga teacher had even less reason to object.

The three walked together, the yoga teacher and Haruno walked together, while Lin Ye walked in front, at a distance of one meter from the two.

'Tap, tap, tap...'

The footsteps were very light, but very obvious on the third floor.

Haruno walked cautiously, her attention occasionally placed on the yoga teacher beside her.

Just as the yoga teacher didn't fully trust Haruno and Lin Ye, Haruno didn't place full trust in this yoga teacher either.

Because Lin Ye didn't give any reminder, she only indicated that the possibility of this yoga teacher being an Eerie was relatively small.

At this moment.

The three of them had already walked two-thirds of the distance.

Walking a little further, the three of them could finish walking a circle around the third floor and officially head to the fourth floor.

'Thump, thump, thump...'

Footsteps rang out.

These were footsteps from behind.

Haruno only felt something was wrong after a while.

'Woo...'

In her daze, she bumped into Lin Ye who was in front.

Lin Ye had stopped his pace at some point.

The yoga teacher instinctively felt danger, her heart hung up, and she held a high degree of worry and fear toward the direction Lin Ye and Haruno were vigilant about.

Monster, is it a monster?

The yoga teacher stood in place, turned her head carefully for a distance, and turned it back, deeply afraid that she would encounter some monster that made people afraid and fearful.

Lin Ye noticed that unusual footsteps; a monster was following them.

It wasn't a very long time. He recalled and guessed it followed from the position of the stairwell they passed.

Lin Ye turned to look, and he saw the figure more than ten meters away at a glance.

And it seemed that the figure also noticed Lin Ye's gaze, and it turned slightly stiffly to look back.

'Click, click...'

The slight sound was very harsh.

Haruno walked two steps to Lin Ye's back and looked over as well.

The yoga teacher did the same.

The gazes of all three were concentrated on that figure.

"..."

Blurred words were ringing, but it was unclear what it was saying.

'Ding dong...'

A crisp sound.

The figure moved, and its speed became obviously faster.

"It's the monster I saw just now."

The yoga teacher finally saw that figure by relying on a certain amount of light.

"Run."

Lin Ye immediately pulled Haruno and ran.

It's not that he hadn't thought about trying to deal with it, but considering the situation of the Eerie on the first floor, Lin Ye felt that the strength of the Eerie on different floors of the same dungeon wouldn't differ much.

There's no way to deal with it by relying on physical damage alone.

Rather than wasting time and energy, as well as his few skills, he chose to leave first and head to the fourth floor to collect more intelligence information.

Through the situation on the fourth floor, he could confirm this guess of his.

'Tap, tap, tap...'

The sound of rapid running footsteps rang out continuously.

Haruno followed closely, gritting her teeth and running fast. The yoga teacher didn't dare to be slow at all. She looked at Lin Ye and Haruno running in front of her, especially Lin Ye only pulling Haruno, and felt even more envious and annoyed in her heart.

Why didn't this man pull her along too?

Uncomfortable.

"The stairs are right in front."

The entrance to the escalator was right in front of them; that was the hope of life.

Just at this moment.

An 'Ah!' scream rang out.

With a 'thump' sound, the yoga teacher who was a few steps slower fell to the ground with a 'clatter'.

She was caught by that figure in tattered clothes.

"Save..."

"Save me..."

She shouted in a panic, and kicked her legs wildly, trying to kick that dangerous monster away from herself.

But.

It was as if she had kicked into empty air; she didn't kick anything.

But clearly through observation, she was certain she had already kicked it.

Why, why would it be like this?

She was puzzled.

"Ah!"

She suddenly discovered that her shoes were gone.

How did the shoes suddenly disappear?

"Ow, ow..."

A slight hoarse sound, the figure opened its hands.

It scared the yoga teacher to the point of chilling her heart, and her cries for help became even more obvious.

While struggling to crawl, she looked toward the direction where Lin Ye and Haruno were escaping with pleading eyes.

At this moment.

She could be certain that the only one who could save her was Lin Ye.

If Lin Ye didn't save her, she would definitely be dead.

She didn't want to die yet; as long as she could live, she was willing to pay anything!

"Save me, save me!"

"I don't want to die here."

"Please..."

After shouting, she discovered that Lin Ye had already arrived by her side, and with one hand, he pulled over a trash can and smashed it toward the figure in tattered clothes.

'Thump...' A loud collision sound.

The figure retreated several steps.
