I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Another Key
 

The Minotaur collapsed once again.

Du Lai and Leonid each came up to the east and north doors, trying to open them, but the doors remained locked.

“It only took fifteen seconds to resurrect it last time!” Du Lai kicked the door violently, then ran back anxiously and angrily, “We’re running out of time!”

Chen Hui’s hands trembled lightly as she grasped the flashlight. She tried to calm herself and said, “Is there any rope? Tying it up could buy us some time… Ah! What are you doing?!!”

Slade appeared behind her out of nowhere and suddenly hugged her, frantically gnawing at her shoulder!

Chen Hui screamed in panic!

Leonid yanked him away in one swift motion and ferociously slammed him to the ground!

Slade let out a piercing scream! Although he was hardly touched, he screamed as if he was dying, in both despair and pain, his wails unceasing:

“I need to eat! Let me eat!!! We’re all going to die, no one will escape… I need to eat!… I can’t stand it… I’m so hungry!…”

The crowd was terrified, and then they heard Du Lai shout, “Over here! Throw him over here!!!”

Du Lai was standing beside the Minotaur, which had already opened its eyes. It propped itself up with its hands, ready to stand up from the pool of blood—

Leonid didn’t think twice, he picked up Slade and flung him over!

Du Lai caught him with an outstretched hand and heaved him backward, right in front of the Minotaur!

“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

Slade’s face distorted with terror, as if he foresaw his fate. He tried to flee but was easily caught by the creature!

The next second, a massive jaw opened wide, and—crunch—bit through his spine!

“The door can be opened now!” Du Lai shouted, “Hurry up!”

Bai Youwei immediately said, “Go through the east door!”

They hurriedly evacuated through the east door, and then continued eastward. The Minotaur didn’t chase them; it stayed in the original stone chamber, busy devouring its meal and carefully chewing even the bones.

…

After passing through seven or eight stone chambers in one breath, Bai Youwei finally stopped.

This time, they discovered another key, which was graphite black.

But nobody was in the mood for joy, their emotions still trapped in the tension and fear brought on by the Minotaur.

Du Lai strode up to Mark and delivered a harsh kick!

“You didn’t say it would come back to life.”

Mark wailed, “I didn’t know you could kill it!”

“What’s the deal with Slade then?!” Du Lai sneered maliciously, “Don’t tell me, you’re actually from the Cannibal Tribe!”

Mark replied, “I don’t know…”

Du Lai lifted his foot and kicked him again.

Mark still clamped his mouth shut, only replying, “I really don’t know! I have no idea why Slade turned out like that!…”

Bai Youwei held her rabbit, feeling heavy at heart.

The first lightning attack had obviously worked, but she hadn’t expected that the Minotaur could revive.

And until a sacrifice appeared, all the doors were locked shut, trapping the people inside. This was too disadvantageous for them.

“We can’t continue today.” Bai Youwei looked towards Shen Mo. “The rabbit needs time to recharge.”

Shen Mo looked around and nodded, “Indeed, we need to rest, everyone’s quite shaken.”

Bai Youwei was slightly stunned; she vaguely saw something black, like tiny flying insects, crawling over Shen Mo.

The stone chamber was dimly lit, and she thought she might have seen it wrong, but soon, she saw another one.

“What’s that?” Bai Youwei pointed in shock at his arm.

Shen Mo, not noticing anything, looked down only to find a few tiny black bugs about two millimeters big resting on his clothes.

“Uncle, why do you have so many bugs on you?!”

On the other side, Chen Hui also noticed something was wrong and exclaimed, “You have several in your beard!”

Du Lai and Asarina heard this and started checking for bugs on themselves, quickly finding two or three as well.

Even Bai Youwei found two on her dress.

While everyone was bewildered, Mark said, “They are lice… As long as you’ve stayed in the same stone chamber as the Minotaur, you’ll pick up a few. We… we have them too…”
