Chapter 225: Wang Qi Appears?! Blood Sacrifice Summoning!
Time ticked away, and Su Yang could already clearly feel his breathing becoming difficult.
During this time, he had explored the area again, not even sparing the road surface beneath his feet.
The result was dismal; he felt as if he had fallen into a dead end.
Qin Weiyang breathed heavily and looked up at the ceiling, "Could the switch be up there?"
Su Yang's heart stirred, "Go up and take a look."
Qin Weiyang did not hesitate; she leaped up and used the light source from the torch to observe.
Before long, she came down, deeply disappointed, and shook her head, "I can only fly three meters; I couldn't reach the ceiling."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang's heart sank, and he gritted his teeth, "Extinguish the torch."
Qin Weiyang was stunned, "This is our last light source."
"Extinguish it!"
Su Yang threw it directly onto the ground and stepped on it, and the firelight vanished abruptly.
Qin Weiyang was very conflicted, but seeing the oxygen becoming increasingly thin, she had no choice but to comply.
The next moment, endless darkness swept over like a tide, submerging her.
It was pitch black, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
"Weiyang, where are you?" Su Yang asked.
"Right here."
A female voice came from nearby, and she immediately asked, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
"It's fine, as long as you're here." Su Yang let out a breath.
After a brief silence, Qin Weiyang suddenly said, "Come closer."
Immediately after, a hand reached out to touch him.
The sudden coldness startled him.
Qin Weiyang reached out following the sound, searching for a landing spot based on her memory of Su Yang's height.
At this moment, two fingers touched his nostrils and reached inside.
"Where are you touching?" Su Yang's forehead sprouted several black lines, and he grabbed her wandering hand.
He had seen ear cleaning, but this was his first time seeing nose cleaning.
"Come closer," Qin Weiyang said.
The two sat on the ground back-to-back, feeling the body heat from each other, and couldn't help but feel a sense of stability in their hearts.
Before coming, they never imagined that things would progress in this form.
And they never imagined they would be trapped like this.
Rather than dying from lack of oxygen, he would rather die in battle.
"Why is your body so hot?" Qin Weiyang shifted her body, finding a more comfortable position to lean against.
"A man's body temperature is naturally a bit higher than a woman's," Su Yang explained.
"Oh..."
"What time is it now?" Su Yang felt a bit dizzy.
This was a symptom that appeared when oxygen was thin, similar to altitude sickness.
"Eight or nine o'clock, probably."
"It seems there's no hope," Su Yang sighed inwardly.
No one had come after such a long time, which meant that relying on others wouldn't work.
"How much longer can we hold on?" Qin Weiyang asked in a low voice.
"Three hours at most."
Burning the torch consumed too much oxygen, but it was a helpless move.
"That's fine," Qin Weiyang said, hugging her legs.
"What's fine about it?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't it fine to have the honor of dying together with the player who has the highest individual score in the prison?"
Just as Fei Bohan said, having a companion on the road to the Yellow Springs meant it wouldn't be lonely.
"Don't be too pessimistic; what if there's a turning point?" Su Yang said.
"We've reached this point, and you still have such a good mindset," Qin Weiyang admired him from the bottom of her heart.
"Steady your breathing; there will be a chance," Su Yang comforted her.
For the time that followed, Su Yang and Qin Weiyang both kept their mouths shut.
In this dark environment, the original fear all turned into hope.
'Snap!'
Suddenly, a light sound came from outside the stone door on the left.
The moment they heard this sound, Su Yang and Qin Weiyang stood up in unison.
The next moment, the light sound turned into the sound of climbing stairs.
"Someone's coming!" Qin Weiyang's heart burst with intense surprise.
"Don't be happy too soon; let's see the situation first," Su Yang walked to the left along the wall.
The two stood before the stone door, listening carefully to the movement outside.
"Why is there a door here?"
Hearing this voice, Su Yang suddenly felt it sounded familiar.
"An acquaintance?"
That person fumbled outside the door for a long time, seemingly unable to find the switch to open the stone door.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Su Yang cheered him on secretly.
At this time, the dizziness was already extremely intense, and his stomach was churning.
He was relying entirely on willpower to hold on until now.
And Qin Weiyang beside him was equally uncomfortable; if not for her strong physical fitness, she would have long since collapsed on the ground.
Both of them were hoping the newcomer could open the door.
"How long can your talent last?" Su Yang asked.
"Five minutes."
Su Yang nodded slightly, "Once the door opens, take me up."
"Okay."
Just then, the heavy stone door suddenly began to tremble.
A crack appeared, and then it began to rise.
In an instant, both felt the long-lost sensation of being filled with oxygen and couldn't help but take deep breaths.
"Go!"
Qin Weiyang immediately grabbed Su Yang's arm and flew upward.
Just as the two were airborne, the light of a flashlight shone into the passage.
This person walked in cautiously, and when he saw the bones all over the floor and the corpse lying on the ground, his face turned deathly pale.
"Ugh!"
He turned his head, leaned against the wall, and vomited violently, his body convulsing uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the two in the air guessed—the newcomer must be an ordinary student.
And not a player.
"It seems the legend is true; there really is a 'Butcher'!"
After vomiting, he burst with intense joy.
Then he walked in small steps to the cross, the light shining on the corpse, carefully examining the wounds on the body.
"Tsk tsk, even the eyes were dug out; how ruthless."
His gaze moved down, noticing the knife mark on the neck, and he couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh."
This person's face showed confusion, as if he had thought of something; his expression changed abruptly, and he turned around suddenly.
"Who's here? Come out!"
Seeing the flashlight beam sweep past their feet, the hearts of the two in the air jumped into their throats.
At the same time, they saw the newcomer's identity clearly in the light.
"Wang Qi?!" Qin Weiyang's eyes widened.
"Wasn't he sent home? How could he appear here?"
Su Yang was equally puzzled by this, and the other party had chosen this time to sneak into the lecture hall.
"Could it be..."
Was he the mastermind behind everything?
No, he vomited when he saw the corpse; this action clearly ruled out the possibility of him being a 'player.'
"Leave?" Qin Weiyang lowered her voice.
"Not yet, let's see what he's doing here."
Wang Qi checked the surroundings carefully and breathed a long sigh of relief after finding no one.
He took a small knife out of his pocket, a flash of resentment and determination in his eyes, and slashed his fingertip.
Blood beads seeped out; he came to the cross and, following the pattern, used the blood to draw a pentagram.
"You all forced me..."
"Gao Chang, Ruan Ziliang, I want these two to die!"
The moment the pattern took shape, a flash of blood-red light bloomed abruptly.
"Boom!"
The entire underground passage shook violently.
A look of madness appeared in Wang Qi's eyes as he looked forward with great anticipation.
The stone door at the end slowly rose, and a behemoth came into view.
The temperature in the passage dropped sharply, and a foul, unbearable stench slowly wafted over.
"Thump! Thump—"
As the giant object approached, the two finally saw its appearance in the light.
Its massive head was like a tumor, and its mouth was strangely large, revealing a row of thorn-like fangs.
Its bloated, mountain-like body swayed as it walked, its skin stitched with human faces, green pus seeping from the gaps.
This was the source of all the stench.
Holding two huge butcher knives, its five-meter-tall body was extremely impactful.
Seeing this, Su Yang and Qin Weiyang couldn't help but gasp.
"This is..."
"The 'Butcher'?!" ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
