To be honest, although Yiyi knows a lot of things, it's probably all from his experiences on land.
Within that manor, she was indeed a powerful force.
But once we got to the Dragon Palace, or even to this shallower level, I felt that Yiyi still had many shortcomings.
Or rather, she is indeed far from capable when it comes to dealing with ghosts and monsters.
She may have only a basic understanding of things like being trapped in a maze, but she hasn't explored them in depth.
So I can understand why people react this way when they actually see it.
Carefully sense the direction and fully engage all your senses.
It's easier said than done.
In this situation, it is already quite remarkable to be able to maintain a balanced mindset.
Not to mention calming down and engaging your senses, listening carefully, and slowly sensing the direction.
This is inherently a difficult task.
At this moment, I calmed down and comforted Yiyi.
Compared to the objective reality of these inescapable walls, the collapse of one's own psychological defenses is actually more terrifying.
In that case, not only would they be unable to escape, but in such a tense situation, internal strife would be more likely to occur.
After explaining for a while, Yiyi felt a little better.
"I see, brother. So, right now... we have no other choice."
I nodded slightly.
Indeed, at this point, if we insist on breaking through here, it might trigger something even more terrifying.
If we just kept walking in the direction of these stairs, we would end up going around in circles.
It looked as if it were trapped by some mysterious force.
But in this situation, who would exert energy around here?
Could it be Lao Zhou?
I think it's impossible. If that guy wanted to attack us, there was absolutely no need for him to bring us up to the third floor.
It's fair to say that from the moment we entered this hotel, Lao Zhou had every opportunity and time to harm us.
But the fat man didn't choose that option. He even took us up to the storage room on the third floor and showed us the aged sea marrow inside.
This is already the most basic form of trust.
Or rather, his trust and friendliness towards us were based on Lao Zhou's own actions.
If he knew we were the two parties to the contract, I think he definitely wouldn't have brought me to the third floor.
He wanted us to leave quickly, so he did whatever it took to achieve his goal faster.
He is certainly not the person who studies this.
Now, what we're facing is definitely not an ordinary maze, but a specially designed trap, a lightning strike specifically designed to target the two of us.
Given how intricate this place is, how can it function in such a way? Could it be that it was formed naturally?
I absolutely do not believe that.
"Master, it seems we're trapped inside this thing now."
Did we go the wrong way just now?
At that moment, the image of the lightning sword silently echoed in my mind.
I gave him a negative answer.
The direction hasn't changed at all.
Indeed, some "ghost wall" situations are those where the direction doesn't seem to change, but in reality, one unknowingly enters a path that can repeat itself endlessly.
Finally, if similar decorations are added to this road, it will make us feel like we've embarked on a road of no return.
But I remember clearly just now that I was walking in one direction with every step.
Ever since I noticed that the steps were unusually smooth and that they were more than the fifteen or so steps we would have in our next life, I have been paying extra attention to them.
"If what you say is true, then there should be additional darkrooms inside!"
I spoke to Lei Jijian in my mind.
Lei Jijian muttered to himself, adopting a very receptive attitude.
"Yes, Master! I didn't expect you to be paying attention back then."
At this moment, the tone before the lightning strike was one of utter shock.
We had no choice but to pace back and forth on the third floor.
I felt that the environment here had become even fishier and sweeter.
After a while, Yiyi spoke again.
"Brother, I really can't stand it anymore, this place is too uncomfortable."
I feel like every pore on my body is oozing a sticky, oily substance.
As she spoke, a look of terror appeared in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, my brows furrowed immediately.
Holy crap.
That's really true.
I put my hand on my face and touched it, and I had the same feeling as Yiyi.
My face also had a little bit of oil on it!
This is completely different from the usual oily skin. Due to my experience, I have very little oil on my body!
But when I looked at her, I saw that Yiyi had a thin layer of oil on her body.
It's not the kind that's clearly visible.
I looked closely and then I could make out that it was a semi-transparent oil with a slightly oxidized yellow hue.
"This place is really not safe..."
I lowered my voice.
I'm afraid a fourth living creature might emerge from here at any moment.
Fatty Zhou has disappeared, and the only sound currently heard in this hotel is that child…
Oh, and there's also that string of footprints they left behind!
That string of things left right under our noses, next to the earthenware jar containing sea marrow.
I think this thing is something that even Lei Jijian and I find hard to understand.
Or perhaps the creature that left the footprints was so bizarre that we couldn't see them clearly.
At the same time, a very strong thought kept tugging at my heartstrings.
Walk!
This floor, whether it's the third floor or whatever.
At least, this place is very different from the three-story building I first saw.
The one we saw at the very beginning definitely didn't have such a strong smell, nor would it cause such side effects to our bodies.
"This floor will likely gradually weaken our physical functions!"
I quickly spoke up to Yiyi.
It would have been better if I hadn't said anything, because as soon as I did, the fear on Yiyi's face seemed to intensify.
She nodded quickly, and I could tell that the girl was somewhat moved at that moment.
Her feet had already involuntarily moved towards the staircase again.
"Brother, since that's the case, let's try going down one more time!"
Regardless of whether it's on the same floor or not, going to take a look is definitely the right thing to do!
As I listened to the girl's words, I took a deep breath.
He then glanced at the stairs beneath his feet.
I noticed that there seemed to be fewer of those black vines on the handrail.
However, their shapes are more convoluted, and they are covered with small, round vines of various sizes.
From a distance, it looks like an eye is embedded in it!
