Chapter 116

Mo Yi's sweaty palm was pressed against the hard glass. The edge of the palm turned white due to the force. The glass under the palm stained a little of the human body's temperature, which in turn burned his cold palm.

A dense pain emanates from the base of the injured fingers, stimulating the nerve endings like a needle.

He let go of his hand, and a white handprint was printed on the cold and turbid glass. The misty lines slowly narrowed and disappeared as the palms pressed on the above hand.

Mo Yi looked at Jiang Yuanrou's stiff side face opposite the window for a while, then turned around and his eyes were hanging down, covering his dark eyes and looking at the door.

The steel plate welded on the dirty door panel had already hung down, and the pale white fingers had shrunk back, leaving only a deep shadow leaking out from the gap below the steel plate.

"Did you do it?"

Mo Yi's voice was slightly dull, and it sounded like sand rubbing against his throat, as if there was some complex and depressing emotions surging.

A gentle, pleasant giggle came from behind the thin door panel, and the soft voice of the child passed through the dead corridor to his ears:

"How is that possible? You see, am I being locked up tightly?"

There was silence in the air, and Edwin's voice sounded strangely in the empty corridor:

“Ticktock, ticktock, time is not waiting for anyone.”

With the sound of the child deliberately lowering, Mo Yi could see through the window beside him that Jiang Yuanrou's thin and petite back slowly walked towards the blood-red door with a strange rhythm, stepping on a stiff pace.

Mo Yi's voice was stiff and tense. If you listen carefully, you could almost hear the slight tremor in it:

“…How do you let you out?”

The child's voice behind the door brought a little gloomy joy: "The key, it's in the room you just walked out, you find it, then take it out and open my door, and I'll help save your partner."

After listening to Edwin's words, Mo Yi's voice became anxious, mixed with unconscious tension and helplessness, like a bowstring that was extremely tight, and it could be broken by applying a little more force:

"But……"

Edwin's tender voice was filled with gloomy displeasure, and he coldly interrupted:

"Do you still want her to live?"

Mo Yi's breathing stuttered slightly, with a little tolerance and helplessness in his voice. The low voice seemed to be gritting his teeth:

"……All right."

Immediately afterwards, before Edwin could speak, Mo Yi's breathing became chaotic, and his voice sounded unsteadily in the dead and deep corridor:

"I don't know the specific location of the key, I don't know how long it will take to find me-"

His voice suddenly became low, with a little ruthlessness and decisiveness: "If, if Yuan Rou dies, even if I find the key, I will not be able to let you out."

Edwin's childish voice was filled with a little impatient: "I promise that nothing will happen to her until you find it."

His voice then became vicious and cold:

"Of course, you'd better find it in ten minutes, otherwise... I can't guarantee anything happens to her."

"...Okay." Mo Yi's throat sniffed out a monotonous word, then turned his head and accelerated his pace towards the door he had just walked out.

He reached out and pulled open the door behind him. The strong smell of blood and dust came. The shadow and darkness gathered heavily as he walked in, swallowing his body.

The door panel wrapped in dark green wallpaper quietly closed behind him, isolating the faint light in the corridor.

The bright emotional fluctuations and feelings on Mo Yi's face disappeared completely.

The entanglement, anger, and nervousness just now were like a thin layer of frost and snow under the sun, leaving only a slightly wet, cold and hard ground, which almost made people think that everything just now was just a phantom-like illusion.

He pressed the flashlight in his hand.

With a light "click", the pale lamppost lit up, and Mo Yi's bloodless face was dyed with a pale color, which looked like a ghost in the dark room.

His dark eyes raised slightly and he stared coldly ahead.

——“mutual benefit” with Edwin is equivalent to seeking a slut with a tiger. Even if a decision made for good purposes is likely to make him regret it later.

In addition, he himself doesn't care so much about human life, whether it is Jiang Yuanrou's or his own.

If Jiang Yuanrou was in danger by his side, he would help her as much as possible, but if Jiang Yuanrou was in danger due to her wrong judgment after the two separated, it would be his own mistake...

It would be extremely stupid to make an unwise decision on this, just to save her life.

In addition... according to the frequent appearance of illusions in this copy, it remains to be discussed whether it is Jiang Yuanrou.

Mo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his extremely dark pupils stretched out with two small lights, like cold stars and moons.

That's why he was deeply influenced by Jiang Yuanrou's danger at the beginning, so that Edwin would think that he had mastered an extremely useful bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that could completely control him. Only in this way would he be paralyzed and intoxicated by his joy of winning, revealing his flaws and flaws in just a few words.

That's why Mo Yi slapped the window in love at the beginning and shouted Jiang Yuanrou's name intimately, and in the subsequent confrontation, he was uneasy and led by the nose, and then he subtly tested the other party bit by bit.

And according to Edwin's words, a small, invisible loophole was indeed revealed.

Mo Yi took a step forward and walked slowly in the room. His eyes were wandering around the house while thinking casually—

Edwin said at the beginning that Jiang Yuanrou's current situation was not caused by him, because he was deeply locked in the room, which is very likely true.

Because the key to his room was next door, but he could not get it, this means that after he was locked into the room, his control on this floor was greatly limited, so he asked himself to come and go to find the key.

Mo Yi walked slowly forward along the wall of the room. While walking, he bent his knuckles and gently tapped the wall, trying to see if there was a mezzanine inside.

The wall covered by dark green wallpaper is hard and cold, with a sonorous sound - solid.

He pursed his lips, and continued to think deeper in his mind.

——When he was just confronting Edwin, when he proposed that he "we need to ensure Jiang Yuanrou's life safety while finding the key himself", Edwin easily agreed and set a time limit for him.

And since he is so eager to regain freedom, it is unlikely to deceive him at this point.

After all, Mo Yi made his point very clear - if Jiang Yuanrou and his death were found, their transaction would not be valid.

Then... Edwin obviously has a certain amount of control over Jiang Yuanrou.

Jiang Yuanrou lost control so close, but had the ability to "make her safe for ten minutes" on her body, and the window that was very "stopped" appeared just at the door where he came out, and he happened to be able to see the corridor opposite, and the end of the corridor happened to be the key blood-red door.

There is only one reasonable explanation for so many "coincidences" overlapping.

From the beginning, what he saw was not real, but was controlled by Edwin in the door.

But... the key still needs to be found.

It is not only a rare clue in this dungeon with very few tips, but it may also become a very important bargaining chip in the future.

But... Edwin could clearly tell the separation between Mo Yi and Jiang Yuanrou, and could clearly transform Jiang Yuanrou's appearance without any flaws...

There are only two possibilities.

First, his control on this floor was not as weak as Mo Yi thought. Second, he had seen Jiang Yuanrou and was even likely to have communicated with her.

A little bit of uneasiness surged in Mo Yi's heart, and some slight and ominous ripples slowly appeared in his heart. No matter what the reason was, they were not what he wanted to see.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his disorganized thoughts, then stood firm at the base of the wall, raised his dark eyes and stared at the void in the darkness thoughtfully.

Mo Yi had already walked around the room for a whole circle. There was no place to hide things in the surrounding walls. Although this room was big, there were not many things inside and there was no complicated structure. You could basically see through it at a glance.

So where will this key be?

Mo Yi frowned slowly, subconsciously stroked his cold fingertips, and his eyes subconsciously landed on the broken doll that was scattered on the ground of the room, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He walked forward quickly, then squatted down, picked up the toy, and fell down his arms and legs on his body, and a smell of old dust came into his nose.

There seems to be no place to hide things...

Mo Yi pursed his lips, walked to the dismembered plush toy, and carefully searched in the lumpy cotton in its belly, but found nothing.

He stepped to the rat's corpse, endured the faint disgust in his heart, and slowly put his fingers into the mouse's exposed belly, searching for the greasy internal organs in its thin body.

No.

Mo Yi seemed to have found the trick, and his movements accelerated. After searching for the cat's skinny body without success, he turned his eyes to the very complete and skilled male corpse that had been dissected.

He stood up, walked slowly to the corpse and squatted down, put his palm into his exposed internal organs and flipped it inward.

The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense, and the smoke was almost suffocating.

Mo Yi endured the discomfort and disgust in his heart and slowly moved his fingers that were deeply trapped in the cold and sticky internal organs of the corpse.

After exploring the broken intestines and lungs, his fingertips seemed to touch something cold and hard.
