I glanced around at the eyes, and my hand instinctively pointed to a spot; they immediately turned to look. I quickly opened the blue door on my right!
Sure enough, I was right; this door could be opened, but there was something they didn’t want me to know, which is why they controlled it. Otherwise, when Hako and I first entered, we were like headless flies, turning and opening doors without being blocked by any.
During this time, I had been suspicious that there was definitely some secret. Now was undoubtedly the best time; the monster was still digesting its meal, and it would take a while before it was full. These eyes, like me, couldn’t enter and were stuck outside the room, so I had limited time to gamble.
I swiftly slipped inside; it was no different from outside, with the same structure of alternating red and blue doors. I hesitated for a moment before continuing to open the blue door on my right. To be honest, I still didn’t understand how this design worked; it was too bizarre. However, at least I knew that following the blue doors on the right should keep me from getting lost.
One door after another, I carefully twisted each doorknob. My previous experience with Hako made me cautious; one wrong step could mean losing everything…
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” A series of knocks came from not far behind me, incessantly pounding with a chaotic urgency.
I frowned; it must be those eyes…
No, I absolutely couldn’t let them find me! Maybe that monster knew, or maybe it didn’t.
I quickly moved forward, unhesitatingly following the blue door on my right. As I ran, I counted the time; all I could do now was calculate simple intervals.
…
A day, two days, half a month passed, and I still hadn’t managed to escape, continuing to repeat my hiding route. At least I couldn’t let those eyes catch up to me.
A month was about to end; that monster might have already discovered my escape route. I felt a bit panicked and didn’t rest as I quickened my pace. Pushed to my limits, I could always unleash some potential; I dared not look back or stop.
As I ran, I seemed to see a Yellow Door?!
Amidst the Red-Blue Doors, it stood out too clearly!
I stopped in my tracks, wondering whether to continue on my previous path or—open this door?
If I kept going forward, I had no idea where it would lead or if I could escape.
Opening the Yellow Door might provide new clues, or perhaps I would meet an instant death. After all, this place was unlike any other; I knew nothing about it.
No, the sounds behind me were growing louder; I had to make a decision immediately and could not hesitate!
Thinking this, my hand had already grasped the handle of the Yellow Door. I sighed and decided to go for it! If I failed, then let it be the end of my life.
“Creak—” I resignedly opened the door.
What is happening?! It’s a wall! No way out?!
Damn it! The eyes behind me are closing in!
“Rift Sky Seal, break for me!” With determination, I slammed my hand against the wall!
……
There was no way out, no door, no walls, no rooms!
However, this was not the time to be excited, because—right in front of me was a narrow little hole, just big enough for me to fit through, but it seemed very deep.
If I didn’t jump in, I would only have the long way back, but those eyes didn’t seem to give me any time. They were already here!
“What’s wrong? Why are you all so nervous?” I asked. Although I knew they wouldn’t answer, I needed to confirm my thoughts.
The eyes were wide open, darting back and forth, wanting to approach me but too afraid to do so, shaking continuously.
“Do you want me to leave here?”
The eyes nodded up and down in unison.
“And what if I don’t?”
The eyes immediately shook side to side, desperately swaying.
“Sorry, but goodbye!” I gritted my teeth and turned to jump down. I was sure my actions would make that monster very angry, and I would be eaten if I went back; it was better to die by my own hand.
But why, at the moment I jumped down, did those eyes show a look of worry and fear, as if saying that I was doomed?
Well then, where would I go next?
