Chapter 1074: You have no right to refuse

The sound of sprinting footsteps stopped quickly, and the figure stood steady immediately, accompanied by rapid breathing.

"You, you all..."

The figure made a sound, and it was still clearly audible as a human voice.

"Stop."

Lin Ye scolded.

The figure stopped in its tracks immediately.

This reaction made the group realize that this person was likely human.

"Name."

"I, I am Makino Hiroki."

"Occupation."

"Stu, student."

"How did you get here?"

The continuous questioning made the panting boy even more anxious, but he tried his best to explain, fearing it would cause a misunderstanding.

Makino Hiroki, a high school student, was playing games in the mall's game zone. When he went out to use the restroom, he found himself in this completely different mall as soon as he stepped out.

He initially thought it was a power outage and the entire mall had stopped operating.

But when he reached the corridor and found the entire fourth floor silent, without even a human figure, he realized something. He thought he had been drawn into a mysterious event.

As a high school student, he had seen many science fiction and fantasy works. Facing this mysterious event, his initial worry immediately transformed into excitement and thrill.

He believed this was the opportunity for him to start a brand-new life, the beginning of him becoming stronger.

Following that, he began to explore until he discovered a shop bathed in orange-yellow light.

He had originally intended to go inside to take a look, but it seemed that the instinct for survival and the fear of death kept him from entering in the end.

After a while, he carefully explored, heard human voices, and began to search.

This was everything Makino Hiroki had experienced up until now.

At this moment,

The male high school student had already walked in front of the group.

Lin Ye and the other two saw the man's appearance and state clearly.

Human.

Lin Ye used his perspective to observe and confirmed that the man's internal structure was human, completely different from those black shadows, whose interiors were pitch-black and filled with indeterminate Eerie aura.

Added to Murakami Mamoru, whom they met on the first floor, there were now five people in this mall.

"Before you discovered you were here, did you encounter anything? For example, a cat, or a dog?"

As the words fell,

The group's gazes were all focused on this male high school student.

The yoga instructor thought of the cat she had been asked about earlier.

Could this male high school student have also encountered a cat?

"It seems... no, I don't think so!"

He looked hesitant, but racked his brains to recall, frowning as he remembered something, "I seem to have heard the sound of a cat."

A cat.

A cat again.

Lin Ye didn't even need to say it; Yangnai and the female yoga instructor both felt that this matter was inseparable from cats.

Since it was because of a cat that they ended up here, was the key to their return also with that cat?

However, from the beginning until now, they hadn't encountered a single cat.

This made them inevitably feel that finding the cat would mean finding a way to leave this place.

"Not a dog barking?"

Lin Ye asked back in a solemn tone.

This immediately made the male high school student look troubled. He instinctively felt that Lin Ye wouldn't be wrong, but his own memory indicated it was indeed a cat's meow.

"It was a cat's sound, I can basically be sure."

"Hmm."

Lin Ye's "hmm" made the male high school student realize that this was a test! This was a further confirmation of him.

He looked at Lin Ye and realized that this man, who looked not much older than him, actually had a very high level of mental fortitude; they were simply not on the same level.

"Change your shoes first."

Lin Ye placed the sneakers he had found on the third floor in front of the female yoga instructor.

Two pairs of sneakers.

The female yoga instructor tried them on and decided to wear the black sneakers.

"Phew, thank you, Student Lin. I will definitely repay this favor."

Saying this,

She felt that this empty promise of hers was too meaningless, so she immediately added, "I have quite a few beautiful girls in the yoga classes I teach; they all have great figures. I can introduce them to you."

Compared to directly offering herself, this was better; her intentions wouldn't be so obvious, and it wouldn't cause potential resentment.

The female yoga instructor, Kurozawa Eiko, also knew that sometimes, when faced with a woman's initiative, men might actually harbor greater vigilance.

The male high school student was so envious!

A yoga instructor introducing beautiful students—how come he never encountered such good things!

Looking at her now, this female yoga instructor's figure was truly top-notch.

Besides this female yoga instructor, the other girl with black shoulder-length hair wasn't bad either!

Both were beauties, and in high school, they would belong to the school beauty category.

Envy!

The male high school student was so envious he was about to cry. ===== CHAPTER 1075 =====
