Chapter 109 - 109: 109: Returning to the Starting Point

Translator: 549690339

The group of people hurriedly tried to return, but before they could reach the starting point, terrified screams rang out from among the students!

As they rounded a corner, they saw several panic-stricken students running toward them!

“What happened?!” Shen MO stopped them.

Zhang Tianyang, still shock-stricken, gasped, “The dolls… the dolls in the mirror, they came out! … Two, two classmates, were pulled into the mirror!”

He turned to look at the people behind him, saw Chen Hui, immediately reached out to pull her to him and looked her over, “No, you’re okay… We’re okay…”

Shen MO took a quick look at the students. There were only six of them. He furrowed his brows: “Where are the others?”

Chen Hui lifted her head, her eyes full of bloodshot streaks, “They… They turned into dolls after running through a door.”

“A door?!” Professor Cheng asked in disbelief, “Did you find another exit?”

Zhang Tianyang nodded, struggling to respond: “A very large door… there were so many dolls, more than before, not only on the walls, but also all over the floor …”

Recalling the sensation of stepping on what felt like a pile of skulls, his face turned increasingly pale as he broke out in a cold sweat. “Was there a mirror?” Bai Youwei asked anxiously.

Zhang Tianyang was stunned upon hearing this.

“There weren’t any mirrors.” Chen Hui interjected, “There’s not a single mirror near that door.”

Liao JingJing cried out, “I told you before that the first exit was the real one! Let’s go now! I don’t want to stay here anymore! I want to leave! I don’t want any rewards!

“Enough!” Chen Hui roughly shoved her, “If you want to go, then go by yourself! Stop whining!”

Liao JingJing burst into tears and helplessly reached out for Zhang Tianyang’s arm.

Zhang Tianyang was both annoyed and pitied her, he tried to unclasp her hand from his sleeve to no avail. He lacked the energy to keep on struggling with her and looked towards Shen MO and Bai Youwei: “Mr. Shen, did you find anything on your end?”

Shen MO said, “We also found an exit.’

A bitter smile crossed Zhang Tianyang’s face, “So now, we have three exits.”

Chen Hui said: “The maze has four main parts, so there might be four exits, but there will only be one real exit.”

“There should be a mirror at both the starting point and the endpoint.” Bai Youwei looked at them with both calm and determination in her voice, “If you trust me, let’s go back to the starting point together, gather our things, and I will lead you out of the maze.”

“I don’t want to go back!” Liao JingJing shrieked, “Why should we go back?! The dolls are right behind us! If we go back, we’re sure to run into them!” “We must return to the starting point.” Bai Youwei said expressionlessly,

“Otherwise, even if we find the exit, we won’t be able to leave.’

“I won’t go back!” Liao JingJing frantically shook her head, crying out, “Why should I trust you?! Since Professor Tu died, you just want to use us students as guinea pigs, to send us back to die! Isn’t it?! You don’t even know which exit is the right one!!”

Liao JingJing’s mental state was on the brink of collapse, she turned to run, ignoring the shouts of the other students urging her to stop.

“Don’t worry about her.” Bai Youwei responded calmly, “Even if she makes it to the exit, she will not go through.’

Zhang Tianyang: “But…

“She won’t go in.” Professor Cheng sighed heavily, “We saw your classmate’s dolls at the exit. If she sees them… she definitely won’t dare to go through.”

The other students fell silent upon hearing this, their faces showing even more fatigue and confusion.

Chen Hui turned to go back.

Zhang Tianyang hesitated: “Chen Hui, where are you going?”

“Back to the starting point.” Chen Hui didn’t turn back as she responded, “Didn’t she just say it? If you don’t go back to the starting point, you can’t get out of the maze.’

Can we really get out?” Zhang Tianyang stared blankly ahead. Bai Youwei closed her eyes and mumbled: “Let’s give it a try…”
