Chapter 598

it was about to end.

She was going to lose!

The red-haired girl Eerie regretted it more and more; why didn't she go all out from the beginning, instead of playing around, wanting to enjoy the winning experience of forcing humans from hope into despair!

"Ten seconds..."

"Two seconds..."

The little boy Eeries searched like crazy, but until the end, they still didn't find Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai.

Time was up,

and the distorted, changing space gradually returned to normal.

"Big brother..."

"you won,"

but she still didn't see Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai, "I didn't trick you this time; I lost. You can leave, but I welcome big brother and big sister to come again next time."

"Especially big sister's pretty face, I really like it!"

At this moment,

the red-haired girl blushed, and a faint, flushed smile permeated her face.

Lin Ye didn't stop his superpower invisibility until the end, but instead pulled Sakurajima Mai toward the exit path.

The slight sound of footsteps caught the attention of the three Eeries.

The two boy Eeries shot out and charged over,

"Stop,"

but the red-haired girl scolded, "Lost is lost; a bet is a bet."

But the two little boy Eeries were still unwilling.

The red-haired girl Eerie stared, and the two sides finally ended with the little boy Eeries compromising.

"Play, play,"

"run, run,"

"big brother, big sister, come play games again next time!"

Finally, at the moment of stepping into the exit, Lin Ye glanced back at that little girl one last time, and with one last step, he walked out, and Sakurajima Mai followed Lin Ye and left as well.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit oppressive, and the air was unusually stifling.

"Lin-kun, can we talk now!"

"We can."

"Finally, we can talk,"

the six minutes of silence had been exceptionally slow for her; besides constantly reminding herself not to speak, she had also consciously controlled her body not to move.

Several accidents almost made her run,

but fortunately, until the end, she didn't make any major mistakes that would affect their hiding.

"Senior performed well."

"Don't compliment me; if it weren't for your reminder, I would have believed what that little girl said. If it were just me, I definitely would have fallen for it,"

she couldn't think as calmly and rationally as Lin Ye.

"Not true,"

"don't comfort me,"

Sakurajima Mai shook her head and continued, "Can I ask why you thought the little girl was tricking us?"

"I guessed it, because she had absolutely no reason to give up so early. Once the time for hide-and-seek is set, it's generally hard to change. Eeries also have their own rules, and both sides need to follow them."

Lin Ye explained to Sakurajima Mai, also bringing the girl a little experience in dealing with Eeries, "Find the rules, and you can find the way to survive and win."

Sakurajima Mai said "Mm," "But if it weren't for your strength, Lin-kun, I think most people wouldn't be able to escape the outcome of failure!"

Invisibility and Instant Movement both put Lin Ye in an invincible position; if it were anyone else, how could they possibly win!

"People will always find a way; no matter how difficult an Eerie event is, there will always be a sliver of survival chance left."

Sakurajima Mai agreed, but felt that if it were just relying on herself, it would also be very difficult to find and grasp this sliver of survival chance.

"Senior, don't be discouraged; everyone has their strengths. Maybe the next Eerie we encounter will require your effort, Senior."

"You really know how to comfort girls."

"Are you moved, Senior?"

"No."

But facing Lin Ye's expectant eyes, she gave a fleeting smile, moved her red lips, and said, "If you weren't ambiguously entangled with other girls, I might really be moved."

At least,

Sakurajima Mai also knew she couldn't treat Lin Ye as an ordinary male anymore.

This life-and-death bond, this life-saving grace, had caused her attitude toward Lin Ye to change further.

"Senior, let's continue walking!"

Rested enough, mindset recovered, it was time to continue.

"Mm."

"……%……%￥）——"

In less than ten seconds, a long, lingering, ethereal sound came, invading the heart like flowing water.

Lin Ye quickly judged the impact this time.

"The distance is closer,"

"and the impact is greater,"

they were already closer to the source of the sound,

and they could even be said to be right in front of the core Eerie of this Chiba Park.

"Senior, stay close to me; if you feel something is wrong, immediately reject the chewing gum."

"Mm."

Sakurajima Mai nodded heavily, indicating her attitude; at the very least, she couldn't hold Lin Ye back.

'Pat, pat...'

'Pat, pat...'

The two walked along the path, and the smooth concrete surface turned into bumpy cobblestones.

The tactile sensation from the soles of their feet changed significantly.

Stepping on the cobblestone ground,

Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai continued walking.

'Splash, splash...'

'Splash, splash...'

That was the sound of flowing water.

No,

that was the sound of a fountain.

The moment they walked out, Lin Ye saw the fountain twenty meters away,

a human statue holding a vase, with crystal-clear spring water spraying from the mouth of the vase, scattering in all directions, reflecting a faint silver-white luster under the moonlight.

Gorgeous, romantic.

But that touch of lonely chill was even more intense.

"The main body... is it?"

Sakurajima Mai immediately thought the human statue would be the owner of that voice.

In the whole scene, it was the most eye-catching.

"Ninety percent sure, it's not."

Lin Ye directly denied it.

This was intuition.

"But regardless, we need to go and confirm it."

This was to prevent being blinded by the light, because it was too dazzling and too unlikely, leading to giving up attention, only for the 'sound's main body' to really be hidden in the human sculpture.

Lin Ye walked toward the fountain.
