Chapter 202: 202: How Can I Help You?
Bai Youwei looked at him, “How can we help you?”
After a two-second pause, she asked again in a quiet, expressionless voice, “Do you want us to cut open your face?”
The man looked at her crying.
“Won’t that hurt too?” Bai Youwei continued calmly, attempting to reason with him, “Also, if the wound gets worse, wouldn’t that be even more painful? Anyway, you’ve already lost your legs, there’s no use keeping your face. You were…already dead…”
The man finally broke down!
His outburst came as a reaction to her words or perhaps out of fear, crying bitterly, yelling and cursing: “You all will meet a bad end! Sooner or later, you will end up just like me! Just like me!!!”
Shen MO frowned and grabbed his wheelchair handles to take a turn, pushing Bai Youwei out.
Bai Youwei widened her eyes: “I was not finished talking to him!”
Shen MO looked down at her: “Now you’re disgusted?”
The expression on Bai Youwei’s face slowly developed into a complex one.
“Why did you have to remind me…” She closed her eyes, rubbing her stomach.
The others exchanged glances.
They looked at the man struggling on the ground, speechless, and successively left the restaurant.
The man continued to cry and curse behind them, spewing the vilest of words! A hysterical tone! Expressing the deepest form of despair!
He would never be able to leave!
Even though the exit was right before his eyes, he would never, ever get back to the Human World…
Outside, it was still drenched in red, hot and gloomy.
In the distance, a few small monsters could be seen.
And the ever-present Snakes, lurking at every corner, ready to appear at any moment.
“Let’s clear our minds again.” Shen MO pulled his gaze back and said to everyone calmly, “The Snakes eat the Skinning Monsters, the Skinning
Monsters eat the Maze, and the Snakes, Skinning Monsters, and Maze eat us. Any thoughts?”
Tan Xiao: “… We’re so doomed.”
Bai Youwei burst into laughter.
Shen MO glanced at her, “Now we have two options, one is to follow the path of the main artery, find the core of the Maze, and destroy it, there may be an exit. The other is to follow the path of the capillaries, find the edge of the Maze and destroy it, to see if we could make an exit.”
“But the Maze has a strong healing ability.” Tan Xiao said seriously, “Whether we cut or stab it, the wound will heal quickly. We can’t get hurt either, or else it will heal ourselves along with it!”
“How about using that?” Bai Youwei pointed at the Skinners in the distance.
Teacher Cheng nodded, “These monsters are like harmful bacteria in the Maze’s body, they can destroy its immune system and hinder wound healing…
but how do we control them?”
“Before considering how to control them, let’s think about where to go first, the center of the Maze or its edge?” Bai Youwei gently rubbed the rabbit in her arms and pondered, “If Teacher Cheng’s assumption is correct, then the Snakes should be like white blood cells, swallowing bacteria and foreign bodies, and producing antibodies to resist pathogenic invasions. They would be particularly active in the core of the Maze.”
“So we can’t go to the core.” Shen MO said, “We are going to the edge of the Maze. ”
Bai Youwei bluntly pointed at Pan Xiaoxin, “Xiaoxin, lead the way.”
Pan Xiaoxin:
Seeing him distracted, Teacher Cheng, concerned about the child’s comfort, volunteered, “Perhaps I should take a look at the map…’
“Teacher Cheng, he’s 11 now, he’s a mature kid.” Bai Youwei confidently said, “And he is a local from Hangzhou, he should know best which spot is most suitable for us to break through.”
Teacher Cheng thought for a moment, gently padded the boy’s shoulder, and kindly encouraged him, “Xiaoxin, don’t feel pressured, we all believe in you!”
