Chapter 19 The Red Brick Factory (18) - Finding an Exit

Ning Shu took a palm-sized blade and tried to cut the rope around Cheng Chuan's ankle. She found that it could be cut open. It seemed that some things could only be dealt with using the things that were available in this place.

However, this method is not very efficient because Cheng Chuan and his team keep moving forward along the track, and she has to move and cut at the same time.

Needless to say, this is very difficult.

"Ning Shu, you need to hurry!" came Wu Yi's trembling voice from below.

"I'm trying my best. Are you in a hurry to be reborn?" Ning Shu didn't even move her head and focused on the work in her hands. After all, this was really too difficult.

"If you don't hurry up, I'm really going to be reincarnated! Look over there!" Wu Yi turned his head and looked ahead.

Ning Shu looked over curiously, and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Although what's in front isn't an incinerator, it's far more terrifying than one.

At the end of the conveyor belt was a device that looked like a meat grinder, with its opening facing them.

The inner walls of the device were covered with sharp blades, and it was constantly spinning inside, just like a washing machine.

If they went in, their bones would be shattered to pieces. She knew there was a surprise waiting for them.

Ning Shu sped up her cutting of the rope, cutting it only halfway before letting Cheng Chuan move his feet to break free.

She quickly climbed onto Wu Yi to cut the rope, her hands moving so fast they were practically sparking.

The moment that statement, "Even if there are living people, what does it have to do with her?" was so loud, the moment it's slapped in the face is now incredibly painful.

Ning Shu felt his adrenaline surge rapidly, all for the sake of cutting the rope in front of him.

Cheng Chuan knew the tension was high; he needed to handle the remaining troubles himself.

He was worried that if he broke free of the rope with his feet, he would fall headfirst, and a concussion would be no laughing matter.

He did an inverted sit-up, using his bound hands to pull at the rope that had been cut in half.

As he wished, he landed on his buttocks first. Although his tailbone was in excruciating pain, he managed to save his life.

After getting up, he also grabbed a razor blade and stood in front of Wu Yi.

He was not as tall as Wu Yi, but he could reach Wu Yi's ankle with his outstretched hand, and the two of them cut the rope together, one above the other.

With only three or four meters left to the meat grinder, Cheng Chuan immediately said, "Alright, Ning Shu, hurry up and get down, I'll help him."

Cheng Chuan was worried that although Ning Shu was on the track, if she got too close to the meat grinder, she might be "sucked" in.

He held Wu Yi's shoulders, letting Wu Yi use his feet to forcefully pull the rope open. He caught him, protecting Wu Yi's head, and successfully brought the person down.

The moment Wu Yi landed on his buttocks, Cheng Chuan released him and stretched out his bound hands to Ning Shu, saying, "Jump down!"

Ning Shu was wondering how to get down when she heard this, and without hesitation, she threw herself at Cheng Chuan.

Although the location wasn't high, it still had a certain impact. Cheng Chuan, acting as a human cushion, was slammed onto the ground.

Despite her small size, Ning Shu's weight was not to be underestimated, and Cheng Chuan grimaced in pain.

When Wu Yi saw Cheng Chuan abandon him to catch Ning Shu the moment he landed, he suddenly felt like there was no love left in the world.

Sure enough, they're a couple, ugh.

However, this did not stop them from scrambling away from the meat grinder; who knows what the consequences would have been if they had gotten any closer.

The three of them ran to a place far away from the conveyor belt, and Ning Shu took a blade and cut the rope for Cheng Chuan first.

"How did you get tied up there? Were there other people with you?"

She had just seen the madman with heterochromia and suspected that he was the one causing trouble.

Cheng Chuan: "I don't know. After we were tied up with ropes, we came here and found ourselves hanging up there."

What happened to you? Why did you suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear?

Ning Shu felt that she couldn't explain what had happened to her, so what could she say?

Is it true that he saw a group of young men running naked, and then they fell into a cesspool that was as disgusting as a septic tank?

Thinking about it now makes my eyes sting and my heart ache. Oh well, it's good for people to have some secrets between them.

"I, like you, can transform now." Ning Shu succinctly summarized his experience.

The feeling they got from those words was the same as the rope breaking in their hands—a sense of relief.

In this way, all three of them are capable fighters, so there's no question of one dragging the other down.

Wu Yi: "What can you become?" Wu Yi asked, voicing Cheng Chuan's inner thoughts.

Ning Shu: "..."

She knew she couldn't avoid this question, so how could she answer it gracefully?

Seeing Ning Shu frown in thought, Wu Yi wondered if it was some kind of big move? Was she planning to make a stunning debut?

Cheng Chuan shared the same thought; he was indeed eagerly awaiting Ning Shu's answer.

"Um, it means, you can kill monsters without weapons..."

The scene fell silent for a moment, as the two seemed to be processing Ning Shu's words.

"Your ability is pretty impressive." Wu Yi suddenly understood what Ning Shu meant.

Cheng Chuan didn't speak, but he still looked thoughtful.

Ning Shu felt that they might have too high expectations of her abilities, so she decided to let them misunderstand; it wouldn't be a big problem.

Ning Shu: "Let's try to get out of here."

The three searched the area, but to their dismay, they couldn't find a door or a passage.

This is strange; there should be passageways even if there are no doors elsewhere.

"You guys think the passage isn't this thing?" Ning Shu said, pointing to the meat grinder.

"..."

"..."

This speculation is terrifying!

Ning Shu: "I'm not just guessing, look here, there's not even a window, let alone a door."

Wu Yi: "But can this thing survive inside? Even if it does manage to leave, it'll probably leave as trash."

Cheng Chuan could no longer agree with this statement.

Suddenly, a line seemed to slowly become clear in Ning Shu's mind, and she thought of a possibility.

Ning Shu: "I don't know if I'm right, but there's a place where I might have a chance to leave."

"where?"

Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi asked in unison.

Ning Shu led them to the space where she had previously gained her abilities. She had thought she would never find a way to get there again, but to her surprise, the passage was not closed.

They can still get in through that wall that's as thick as tofu.

Ning Shu thought she would see a pile of corpses when she came here again, but to her surprise, the place was clean and there was nothing there.

Was everything she just experienced a hallucination? Or has this place cleaned it all up?

Ning Shu leaned towards the latter, but she didn't understand the purpose of doing so.

Wu Yi: "There really is a space here. You came out from here and found us?"

Ning Shu nodded and pointed to the glass ceiling, saying, "I suspect this place is an exit, but I didn't have time to check it at the time."

She paused for a moment, then said, "If it's not, then there's another place."

She pointed to the pool below, "Here."
