Chapter 49

c "Run...Run..."

A mole and I supported each other and ran forward along the underground river bank with unsteady steps.

Behind him, the bells sounded melodiously.

The water in the underground river surged, and a small whirlpool gradually formed on the surface. Just as a mole said, there was a huge roulette-like mechanism under the water. The underwater roulette wheel drove the bronze chain, and the bronze chain pulled the gilded human head. Finally, the human head struck the chime.

I covered my nose vigorously with my hands, but scarlet blood still penetrated through the gaps between my fingers and dripped down.

At this moment, a mole suddenly thought of something, and she shouted at me: "Plug your ears! Run back!"

After she yelled this sentence, she couldn't help but start to pull me back.

After running so far, running back is not a way to die! I couldn't figure out her intention, but she still led her back.

Even though my ears were blocked, this was going back. The closer I got to the source of the sound, the more painful my eardrums became.

Climbing and running, I returned to the starting point.

"Throw away...throw away the clock..." The clothes on A Mole's chest were mostly wet with her own nosebleeds, and she spoke in a weak voice.

Holding back the pain in my ears, I untied my clothes and threw the chime I was carrying behind me into the underground river.

Almost at the same time.

The sound of the chimes suddenly stopped.

The gilt skulls hanging on bronze chains lost their source of power and relied on inertia for a few final swings.

The underground river returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before.

I lay on the ground side by side with a mole, breathing heavily.

"Hong...Sister Hong, how did you know we were going back?"

The mole on her face was pale, and the clothes on her chest were already a bright red, so she weakly expressed her guess.

I briefly recalled what she said and felt that it was very possible. Fortunately, she was calm-minded. Otherwise, if we kept running forward with our heads covered, we would definitely not survive.
