Prejudice Forbidden

Chapter 45 The Dark Stairway

The cool wind behind him reminded Tu Lin not to lean back. He could only rely on Xin Zhengxi to move forward. The stairs, which were not wide at all, seemed extremely crowded at this time. Tu Lin could only rely on the touch of his palms when he couldn't see. to judge the opponent's position.

Xin Zhengxi didn't have any special smell on him, and he could only smell the smell of mint tobacco. Tu Lin was not sensitive to the smell, but at this time, the smell of tobacco on Alpha was especially... alluring.

Tu Lin's nose lightly brushed the opponent's chin, and he sniffed intentionally or unintentionally.

Xin Zhengxi's low smile came from next to his ear, "Are you smelling me?"

"Hmm..." Tu Lin tilted his head, and changed the topic a little awkwardly, "How long have we been walking?"

To be precise, Tu Lin has never recorded the time since he discovered that the building could move. What's more, he was blindfolded. It was dark and dark, and he couldn't see anything. There was nothing to judge the time.

But he just has an intuition, and Xin Zhengxi must know...he must have his own unique method to calculate the time.

Sure enough, Xin Zhengxi said, "It's already the sixth day."

Tu Lin frowned. He probably guessed that they had been away for nearly three days, but the reality was more than he thought, and during this period, he didn't eat or even drink water...

Apart from the soreness in his calves and his physical exhaustion, he didn't feel any urge to eat at all.

Normal people can't stand it without drinking water for three days, and they will feel hungry and panic if they don't eat for seven days.

Tu Lin used to have the highest discipline without a drop of water for five days, and now it's the sixth day, but he still doesn't feel any signs of thirst.

Could it be that my endurance is too long?

Subconsciously, he touched the kettle on his waist, shook the full water in it, and thought about something absently.

As soon as he thought about it, the movements under his feet slowed down. Xin Zhengxi realized that Tu Lin's speed had slowed down, and asked softly, "Do you want to take a rest?"

Tu Lin reflected for a while, shook his head, and thought that Xin Zhengxi couldn't see it, so he replied, "No rest." He thought for a while, but couldn't help asking, "How much water do you need for the kettle?"

"I didn't drink it. If you're thirsty, drink some," Xin Zhengxi untied his water bottle and handed it to Tu Lin.

After a cold touch came from the back of his hand, Tu Lin shook the kettle, and it was indeed full.

Xin Zhengxi's tolerance level is much higher than his own. He rarely eats or drinks water during the usual tasks. Almost every time the task ends, others have empty water bottles, and Xin Zhengxi's water bottle sometimes even has half a bottle of water left... …

Tu Lin really wanted to ask how he endured it, so he pushed the kettle back, "I still have a lot, you keep it for yourself."

After finishing speaking, he asked, "How do you judge the time?"

Xin Zhengxi said, "I guess."

"Guess?" Tu Lin was speechless, "How do you know that your guess is right? Besides, how did you guess with your eyes blindfolded? Don't tell me that you counted from the beginning to the present..."

Xin Zhengxi smiled, "Would you believe me if I said that I never counted the time from the beginning to the end?"

Tu Lin was stunned for a moment, "You might as well say that Xin Haixing told you the time in advance..."

As soon as he said this, Tu Lin immediately regretted it. He knew that the person Xin Zhengxi didn't want to mention at this moment was Xin Haixing...

Sure enough, Xin Zhengxi didn't speak anymore, Tu Lin was too embarrassed, just about to say something, Xin Zhengxi finally spoke. "He didn't tell me, and I don't want to know."

Tu Lin felt his palm being pinched, and Xin Zhengxi's tone changed from coldness to softness for a moment, "I said it before, don't think about how much time is left, when you will reach the end... these are just Will make you tired."

Tu Lin didn't know what was going on. When he heard the second half of Xin Zhengxi's words, he suddenly felt sorry for the other party. Xin Zhengxi had just lost his very close cousin not long ago, and he must have not recovered from it.

Tu Lin really wanted to comfort the other party, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

He seems not born to comfort people... He couldn't say those nasty words at all.

"it's already over."

Tu Lin held back for a long time before he uttered four words. He secretly cursed himself for being stupid, but Xin Zhengxi laughed, "You might as well hug me."

Tu Lin leaned over to hug the opponent's body, put his head on his shoulder, and patted Xin Zhengxi's back vigorously, "It's all over."

As a result, Xin Zhengxi turned his head to the side, quickly kissed Tu Lin twice on the face, and even touched his back.

Tu Lin was covered in goose bumps by his touch, and he regretted what he did to comfort him when he had nothing to do. He subconsciously wanted to push him, but when he leaned back, he realized that his back was empty.

Fortunately, Xin Zhengxi held his palm from the beginning to the end, otherwise he would almost fall down several times.

"Change places with me, I'll go outside."

Xin Zhengxi directly dragged Tu Lin to turn around, and stood outside by himself.

After Tu Lin touched the stone wall next to him again, his heart also became calm. He admitted that he had been a little nervous when standing on the outside just now.

Now that Alpha switched places with him, he also forgave the other party's carelessness just now.

But having said that, they are all couples, why are you so hypocritical...

After a silence, Xin Zhengxi said to himself, "Do you want to join the first team?"

"of course."

"If we went to the first team together, shouldn't we have a good celebration?"

Tu Lin nodded, "Sure, you decide the location, I'll treat you."

Xin Zhengxi chuckled, "Brother Tu Lin is so domineering."

Having said that, Tu Lin felt a little uneasy in his heart. This time, there were only two simulated combat teams for the number one team. One of them deservedly belonged to Xin Zhengxi, there is no doubt about it, and the other...

Based on Tu Lin's understanding of Xin Haixing, he would definitely not give this spot to himself. Even if he went out from here and took the first place, it would not help.

Tu Lin thought about it, wait until the end of the year to take the actual combat test of the first team, not in the name of the school, but only rely on his own strength, and enter the first team openly.

After all, he was a little absent-minded about this mission. He knew in his heart that Xin Haixing had made up his mind long ago, but he still gritted his teeth and wanted to get a good result in this mission, not for anything else, but because he didn't want Xin Haixing to look down on him.

"After all, I'm an older brother..." Tu Lin raised the corners of his mouth, "Brother treats you to dinner, you can eat whatever you want."

Xin Zhengxi snorted softly, "I won't call you Brother Tu Lin from now on."

"What's that called?"

Xin Zhengxi moved closer to Tu Lin's ear, "Baby, baby, wife... Which one do you like?"

"Get lost," Tu Lin kicked Xin Zhengxi directly.

Xin Zhengxi smiled and groaned. While hugging Tu Lin's shoulders, he suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing from the side. This time the direction was in the opposite direction. He subconsciously touched the wall on Tu Lin's side, and it was indeed empty. …

But my side is still empty, so they are now in the middle of the stairs, there are no walls to support on both sides, only an empty staircase?

Just thinking about it is a little scary, especially when it is invisible, it is possible to fall if it is unstable.

As for what's down there...it could be a cliff, it could be a beast viper...or maybe it's not so bad, just a soft grass to keep them from getting hurt.

Xin Zhengxi tried to adjust his breathing, and tried to anticipate in a good direction. He grabbed Tu Lin's palm and held it tightly in his own.

When Tu Lin realized that the wall around him was empty, they had already walked for more than ten minutes. He was about to lean on the wall to rest, but all of a sudden it was empty. Fortunately, Xin Zhengxi grabbed his shoulder.

"When is it free?"

"It's been a while."

Tu Lin asked incredulously, "You found out a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xin Zhengxi's voice was very soft, "I'm afraid you will panic, don't be afraid, hold on tight and I won't fall."

Tu Lin took a few breaths, and subconsciously moved closer, "What's down here... Could someone have already fallen?"

"I don't know," Xin Zhengxi said, "There should be a very soft cushion underneath... If you fall off, you will be eliminated, or start all over again?"

Tu Lin knew that Xin Zhengxi's guess was all to comfort himself. There is no doubt that the fall will be extremely eliminated, but no one knows what is underneath...

Especially when it is invisible, everything below becomes a mysterious existence, which makes people feel afraid.

They continued to walk up, and their feet moved a little more than before, and occasionally a narrow step would pop up, but other obstacles did not appear, and they were still manageable.

"what……"

An ear-piercing shout frightened the two of them to a halt, and the echo made people flustered. After a while, Xin Zhengxi patted the back of Tu Lin's hand comfortingly, "It's okay, someone probably fell down..."

Tu Lin's fear struck again, because he clearly heard a scream from below, "Help... no... ah..."

The sound gradually disappeared from near to far, and lasted for more than a minute. It seems that the bottom is very deep...

"How much longer do we have to go?"

With a simple question, Tu Lin didn't realize that there was a little despair in his voice, a despair he had never felt in all the missions.

The task this time is very special, especially when it is invisible, it consumes everyone's patience a little bit, making people collapse, fear, and even despair.

This feeling is terrible... For a moment, Tu Lin wanted to give up the game, and it was the first time that he didn't want to go any further.

Xin Zhengxi's voice was very calm, like a pair of warm palms, pulling himself back to reality from despair, "It won't be long, Tu Lin, don't be afraid, reality is often not as scary as we imagined, maybe after we take off the gauze, You'll find it's all very simple."

"But I can't see it now," Tu Lin repeated, "I can't see it."

"Since you can't see it, don't think about it anymore..." Xin Zhengxi turned his head and kissed the other person's forehead, "At least you are not alone, you still have me, believe me, we will go out soon..."
