Chapter 594

in an instant,

the oppressive air dissipated,

and the unchanging path began to flow.

Lin Ye realized that he and Sakurajima Mai had already escaped that jogging, movement-stagnant space.

"Hoo..."

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

Sakurajima Mai was panting, her hands supporting her knees, breathing heavily.

A life-or-death jog, followed by a final sprint to maintain speed—this was truly a significant pressure and burden for her.

"Senior, you're amazing; your physical fitness is really good."

Lin Ye took out a tissue and handed it to the girl; seeing that she didn't take it, he took the initiative to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

At the moment of contact, Sakurajima Mai looked up in surprise, but after thinking about it, she accepted Lin Ye's intimacy.

"As a star, one still needs to exercise in moderation, but with you..."

"I have consciously exercised, but if it had lasted another five minutes, my stamina might not have held up."

Competing with an Eerie in endurance is highly difficult.

At that point, when unable to maintain speed, he would have had to use the attribute points he had specifically reserved to increase his constitution.

This time, facing that Eerie with the ethereal voice, Lin Ye felt that mental power was more important.

That voice possessed too high a charm ability.

"It's already better than many people."

She commented.

In Sakurajima Mai's eyes, Lin Ye was already a well-rounded male high school student.

"Thanks for the compliment."

He looked at Sakurajima Mai, "A senior after exercise is also very pleasing to the eye."

She averted her gaze, "You really know how to coax girls' hearts; is that how Miss Hoshino was coaxed by you!"

"Ai-chan doesn't need to be coaxed at all; with her silly and cute nature, she believes whatever I say, so there's absolutely no need for me to coax her."

"Then what about Yukinoshita-san!"

"Her? If she were that easily coaxed, she wouldn't still be without a boyfriend to date by now."

Yukinoshita Yukino is highly rational,

but Lin Ye knew that once one entered the girl's heart, one would be able to feel the unique, gentle side of the cold girl.

"You understand them very well."

Sakurajima Mai sighed.

Her sixth sense guaranteed that Lin Ye still had feelings for Yukinoshita and still liked her; however, probably because of Yukinoshita's multiple rejections, he would no longer take the initiative to confess.

"We've spent quite a bit of time together, and I understand you quite well too, Senior,"

he looked at Sakurajima Mai.

"We haven't really spent much time together."

"It's my one-sided understanding of you, Senior,"

Lin Ye smiled,

which made the long-haired girl move her gaze away.

"Shall we continue forward now?"

Ahead, it remained a dim and deep expanse, making it impossible to see how far it was until they could reach the end.

Sakurajima Mai gazed into the distance; if it were just her alone, she felt she wouldn't be able to handle it.

She couldn't even pass the first chess game, and for the second running Eerie, she had to work hard to have a chance; and what would the next Eerie be!

"If your stamina has recovered enough, Senior, let's continue!"

Lin Ye's breathing had already recovered.

"Mm."

She nodded.

The two continued to walk forward along the path.

What would the next one be?

Lin Ye was also very curious.

In a real park, what else could appear.

Half a minute later,

sounds of giggling and laughter came.

Those were the voices of children.

Sakurajima Mai swallowed.

Historically,

in horror works, Eeries of children and women are the most dangerous.

Those bursts of laughter instead pushed the anxiety in Sakurajima Mai's heart to the maximum.

"Nothing will happen, Mai."

"Don't be afraid."

She repeatedly reminded herself.

The two walked along.

Lin Ye saw three children playing on the lawn in the woods.

The little girl was wearing red clothes, which were especially conspicuous in the dim light, and her pale cheeks further highlighted the lingering horror.

The other two were little boys, their skin dark, their black figures merging into the gray background; at a glance, one really couldn't tell they were there.

At this moment, the moment Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai arrived, the three children looked at them in unison.

"Big brother..."

"Big sister..."

"Play, let's play together..."

In the blink of an eye, the three children appeared beside the two, surrounding them.

Especially the little girl in red, who took a liking to Sakurajima Mai, leaning tightly against her and looking up with her little head, gazing cutely.

"Big sister is so pretty..."

"Let's play a game!"

Her voice was sweet,

"If big sister loses..."

"give me this pretty face!"

Sakurajima Mai, who had just thought the little girl was very nice, almost cried.

Give her face?

This was wanting to disfigure her!

This was even more painful than killing her.

Sakurajima Mai looked at Lin Ye for help.

"Little one, that won't do!"

Lin Ye took a step and pulled Sakurajima Mai behind him.

"Big sister is my friend! If big sister gives her face to you, what will big brother do?"

"Does big brother like big sister?"

"I do."

Without a hint of hesitation.

It even surprised Sakurajima Mai.

"Then big brother, play a game with me! If you lose, big brother, stay here forever!"

The red-clad girl said coldly while laughing.

"What game, it can't be too hard."
