Chapter 17: Exploring the maze, information gradually revealed
###
When Feng Ziang saw Lucifer suddenly appear, his heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface.
He quickly took a step back, distanced himself from Lilith, and lowered his head, not daring to look Lucifer in the eye.
The atmosphere in the cell suddenly became depressing, and an invisible sense of oppression filled the air.
"You'd better behave yourself." Lucifer's voice was like an ice blade, cutting every inch of air in this small space.
He gently lifted Feng Ziang's chin, and a dangerous light flashed in his deep eyes.
Feng Ziang suppressed the trembling in his heart and tried his best to look more calm.
"I, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to show up suddenly." Feng Ziang's voice was trembling, but he tried to sound as natural as possible.
He knew in his heart that if he was not careful, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Lucifer's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was measuring Feng Ziang's every movement and expression.
"What are you talking about with Lilith?" Lucifer's voice was low and majestic, and every word seemed to carry a great force.
Feng Ziang felt the strong aura coming from him and was almost suffocated.
"She was just chatting with me and asking some boring questions." Feng Ziang forced a smile, trying to appear harmless.
His eyes quietly scanned behind Lucifer, trying to find a possibility of escape, but the door of the cell was tightly closed and there was no chance.
"Really?" Lucifer's eyes became sharper, as if they could penetrate Feng Ziang's thoughts.
He let go of Feng Ziang's chin, but the invisible feeling of restraint did not disappear.
Feng Ziang lowered his head, his heart beating like a drum, but he knew he couldn't show his flaws here.
"I believe you." Lucifer's voice suddenly became soft, but the coldness in it did not decrease at all. "But you also have to understand that I don't like being deceived."
Feng Ziang's heart sank, he knew that Lucifer's words were full of threats.
But he also understood that only by being more careful could he gain the upper hand in the next game.
He slowly raised his head, met Lucifer's gaze, and said firmly, "I understand."
Lucifer smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the door, but his voice echoed at the door, "I hope you really understand." The door closed with a gentle "click", leaving Feng Ziang alone facing the darkness and silence in the cell.
Lucifer's sharp eyes seemed to strip Feng Ziang naked, but he was still as steady as an old dog, and replied calmly: "Lilith and I were just chatting casually. After all, there is no one else in this damn place except her. You can't let me practice ventriloquism (Chinese translation of ventriloquism) to the air, right?" He shrugged, smiled casually, and added: "You know, I'm so upset, I just found a tree hole to complain."
Lucifer raised his eyebrows, seeming to be satisfied with Feng Ziang's explanation.
He chuckled, a low and pleasant laugh that made Feng Ziang feel a chill on his back.
"In that case, you should have a good rest." After saying that, he turned around and left the cell. The heavy stone door closed again with a muffled sound.
The depressing atmosphere in the cell dissipated a little, and Feng Ziang breathed a sigh of relief. The cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes.
He wiped his face and secretly congratulated himself for escaping the disaster.
This Lucifer is really a difficult person to deal with.
Not long after, Lilith came back with her slender waist twisted again. The fragrance on her body was even stronger, as if to wrap Feng Ziang up completely.
She walked up to Feng Ziang, her eyes seductive and her voice sweet as honey: "Little darling, were you scared just now? Come, let sister comfort you." As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hand and wanted to touch Feng Ziang's cheek.
Feng Ziang felt disgusted for a moment, but pretended to be attracted to her. He took her hand and stroked it gently.
"Lilith, you are such a considerate little goblin." He deliberately lowered his voice and spoke in an ambiguous tone.
Lilith giggled and moved closer to Feng Ziang, almost sticking to him.
The air around seemed to become thick and filled with temptation.
Feng Ziang withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, looked at Lilith with a dazed look, and asked softly: "By the way, you just mentioned the maze..." Feng Ziang's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and his tone carried a barely perceptible urgency, "Lilith, you just mentioned the exit and the guards of the maze, can you tell me more about it in detail?" His heartbeat quickened, as if waiting for an important secret to be revealed.
Lilith was a little dazed by Feng Ziang's sudden change, but she soon regained her charming smile.
She opened her red lips with seductive eyes and said in a whisper like a lover: "My dear, do you really want to know? This is a secret."
