MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 3

There was a harsh creaking sound when the door was pushed open, but no students looked up in the classroom, as if they didn't hear it, they were doing their own things.

Li Xi followed Duan Zhen, seeing that he wanted to go towards the students, he pulled his sleeves: "Don't take it directly from their hands."

"Understood." Duan Zhen nodded.

With his back turned to him, Li Xi pretended to be looking at the trash can, but actually looked at his actions from the corner of his eye.

Thirty desks are more than enough in the classroom, but schoolbags and garbage bags are scattered randomly on the ground, which makes people feel a bit helpless. However, although Duan Zhen looks big, his movements are very dexterous. He followed the note that was passed around among the students, and memorized all the contents on it by heart.

He pursed his lips slightly, his brows were furrowed, and his demeanor became more and more cold.

Li Xi glanced at him secretly, and when he was about to finish, he casually took out the only ball of paper from the clean trash can, and said in a low voice, "get out of class is almost over."

They walked out of the classroom together, and just as the door closed, they heard a jingling sound. All the students stopped their movements suddenly, their heads twisted out of the window like rusty robots, with weird expressions on their faces. laugh.

Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Li Xi hurriedly hid behind Duan Zhen, stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, and pushed away Yao Jiu who was also trying to get closer without a trace.

"If you're afraid, don't look at it." Duan Zhen lightly pressed the brim of his hat, then turned to look at Sun Le.

Sun Le took a step forward, took out a few charms and pasted them outside the door.

The ghosts who were closer to the door all backed away, but their eyes were still fixed on this side.

"Can't they come out?" Yao Jiu asked tremblingly.

"Don't worry, our spells are no problem at all in the intermediate field." Xia Qirong waved his hand.

Duan Zhen suddenly raised his hand to signal them to silence.

In the silence, there was a piercing sound like sharp high-heeled shoes stepping on the steps from the stairs on the left.

It approached very quickly, and it became clearer in the blink of an eye.

"Go upstairs." Li Xi hurriedly said: "There are clues."

Duan Zhen glanced at him hastily, and waved: "Let's go!"

A group of people ran through the corridor and ran to the stairs on the right.

Li Xi took the time to look back, the thing he was chasing couldn't even be considered a person, it was just a pair of red high-heeled shoes, the thin and pointed heels made a loud and rapid clicking sound when they hit the ground.

He pursed his lips unobtrusively.

Sun Le threw a piece of talisman paper backwards, and it ignited on the ground. The high-heeled shoes were forced to stop in front of the talisman paper, unable to move, stomping on the ground frantically like impotent rage, with a sharp and hasty voice.

They walked up the stairs, and when they reached the fourth floor, they could no longer hear the sound of high heels.

"Go to the fifth floor." Li Xi said, he touched his ears, feeling quite relieved, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he added: "There are clues on the fifth floor, but it is also dangerous."

"Can you specifically sense the location of the clue?" Duan Zhen asked.

Li Xi was desperately trying to tell him, but suddenly realized something was wrong, glanced at him cautiously, and said slowly: "Of course not, my ability has not yet reached that level."

"Can the spiritual sense be accurately sensed at the later stage?" Duan Zhen raised his eyebrows.

"Not necessarily, it depends on the difficulty of the dungeon." Li Xi thought for a while: "I once met a very powerful spiritual sense person, he told me, I don't know exactly how."

They were talking, Duan Zhen turned sideways suddenly, and at the same time blocked him against the wall with his arms horizontally.

Li Xi raised her hands subconsciously, and hugged his arm from bottom to top, her ears turned red slightly.

A group of white shadows flashed in front of the eyes, passed through several people and hit the wall at the corner, making a tooth-sucking sound—it was a pale skeleton!

The skeleton fell to the ground and didn't stand up immediately. It froze for a while, its head turned to them in the opposite direction, and its dark eye holes were aimed at several people.

"Go upstairs." Duan Zhen didn't hesitate.

Li Xi was still held by his hand, and ran with his head down, afraid that when he looked up, someone would see his red face that was about to burst into anger.

They ran around for a few laps, but the stairs seemed to have no end. Yao Jiu, who was following behind Li Xi, gradually became more panting, and his footsteps became heavier.

"It's a ghost hitting the wall." Duan Zhen said briefly: "Hold it, and I'll take care of it."

Sun Le and Xia Qirong stopped and blocked the corridor one after the other. Duan Zhen's footsteps did not stop, but his speed was much slower. He let go of Li Xi's hand and stroked the surrounding walls.

Li Xi was reluctant to let go, and even gently hooked Duan Zhen's palm before letting go, but the man didn't respond, his eyes were focused on the gray-white wall, making him wonder if his attractiveness had declined.

But Duan Zhen, who is not swayed by foreign affairs, is also very exciting.

He put his hands behind his back and clenched them quietly, recalling the feeling of holding hands just now in his heart.

Duan Zhen's palm is broad and strong, his fingers are long and slender, and there are thick calluses on his finger pulp and tiger's mouth. When his hands intersect, they can completely enclose his hand.

Among so many people, Duan Zhen only shook his hand. Does it mean that he also has a good impression of himself?

Li Xi's thoughts wandered all the way, and when he was thinking about how to use magic power to create a child of two people in the future and what the child's name would be, a scream suddenly came from beside him, followed by a strong force that pulled him down.

The mental power scattered around his body, and when he saw that there was only half of his body left below, and the white bones floating in the air strangely and flying towards this side, he immediately understood what had happened.

His brain was still thinking about whether to be self-reliant or to stick to the weak little white flower strategy, his falling body was suddenly embraced by someone, and his forehead was pressed against the other's chest.

The temperature is transmitted from the thin shirt, and the strong muscles can be felt on the forehead. When you hold your breath, you can even hear the sound of the other party's strong and powerful heartbeat, pounding, like a small hammer, as if hitting his heart.

Li Xi was dumbfounded, but he still didn't forget to reach out and hug Duan Zhen's waist, shrinking himself into the other's arms.

Duan Zhen kicked the flying skeleton away, and felt the person in his arms hug him, his thin body trembled slightly, and his head rubbed upwards.

Thinking that he was afraid, Duan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then patted him lightly on the back: "It's all right."

Li Xi hugged him and did not let go.

After living in this world for so long, why are you still so timid. Duan Zhen felt helpless, thinking of the young man Cheng Che's trusting gaze but couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, so he put his arm around him and raised his head to look at Yao Jiu.

The moment he raised his head, the softness in his eyes turned into a cold mist.

Sun Le got rid of the skeleton who didn't follow the routine and caused them to miss, and frowned slightly.

The corridor was extremely silent for a moment, and even Xia Qirong, who was always talkative, didn't speak.

Yao Jiu regained his senses from the shock just now, and he was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere. He tightened his fingers holding the armrest slightly, recalled his actions just now, and said first: "I'm sorry, I was scared just now, subconsciously..."

He pursed his lips tightly, his face turned pale, obviously Li Xi was almost dragged down the stairs by him, but now he looks more like a victim.

"No next time." Duan Zhen said.

He has experienced nearly ten dungeons here, and has seen countless tricks. Yao Jiu's careful thinking is clear in his eyes. But this is just a low-level dungeon, and Yao Jiu is a newcomer to the game, so he has no intention of interfering with the opponent's choice.

Yao Jiu thought he had passed the test and heaved a sigh of relief. He kept his head down, but now he couldn't help raising his eyes to look up, his eyes fell on Li Xi who was being protected in his arms, his eyes couldn't help revealing a bit of anger.

Obviously everyone is strangers meeting for the first time, but Duan Zhen only protects Li Xi.

"You should apologize to Li Xi." Duan Zhen said suddenly.

Yao Jiu's body suddenly stopped.

At this time, Li Xi recovered from Duan Zhen's hug, and with the strength to pretend to be a little white flower, he said kindly and gently: "No need, I don't think Yao Jiu did it on purpose, he is a newcomer after all, it's the first time I see this It’s normal to be frightened by such a scene.”

"In my team, no one is allowed to block his teammates." Duan Zhen said coldly: "If he is not a rookie, he will definitely need to pay more than an apology."

"I'm sorry." Yao Jiu suddenly said loudly, "I shouldn't have pulled you just now, and made you almost fall into danger."

Li Xi was not interested in his apology, but seeing Duan Zhen's face, he still curled his lips and said softly: "I accept your apology, don't do this next time."

This matter just turned around like this, and the group continued to walk upwards.

The skeleton just now was kicked by Duan Zhen, hit the wall and shattered to the ground, it seems that it has lost the ability to move. Li Xi glanced at it, then followed Duan Zhen's pace a few times, tugging at his sleeve.

Duan Zhen looked back at him.

Li Xi blushed, pressed the brim of his hat with his other hand, and asked in a low voice: "Actually, you can just get rid of the skull and high heels just now, right? Why did you choose to avoid it?"

Before Duan Zhen could speak, he said again, "It's because...are we in the team?"

That's why I searched for clues step by step in the low-level dungeon, because I was worried that the newcomers would have an illusion of the difficulty of the game, and it was also to guide the newcomers to familiarize themselves with the dungeon process.

…Speaking of which, Li Xi realizes that Yao Jiu is the only newcomer here, so Duan Zhen's actions are actually for Yao Jiu. The corners of his lips curled down unhappily immediately, and the fingers pinching Duan Zhen's sleeve tightened slightly.

But this bad mood didn't last long, Duan Zhen saw that he lowered his head again, looking nervous, sighed lightly, reached out and patted his head: "You're right."

Li Xi was stunned, stretched out his hand to touch his head, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he couldn't suppress it after all, he tilted up slightly, and even the hum in response was almost out of tune.

A faint smile could not help but appear on Duan Zhen's face.

Xia Qirong was as quiet as a chicken in the back, and seeing this scene, she couldn't help but mutter to Sun Le: "Why do I see that the two of them are not quite right, when did Brother Duan be so gentle to other people?"

Sun Le said dullly: "Li Xi is similar in age to the captain's younger brother, and the captain is always gentle with children, but most children dare not get close to him."

"You're right." Xia Qirong scratched his head.

Although he accepted this explanation, when he saw Li Xi getting along with Duan Zhen, he always felt that something was weird, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
