Chapter 220
Xiao Chen glanced at me, blinking his eyes several times, then opened his mouth with a smile full of life.
“Who is this, I’m sure you’ll see the face you’ve been longing to see here.”
Her behavior was not good even with empty words, but her momentum was as sharp as before.
No, on the contrary, it seems that he has grown even more by overcoming the difficulties here.
“I thought about it every day, if I could leave this place and go back to the present day, the first thing I would do is find you and pay off the debt of that day.”
To be honest, it’s not a good situation.
It’s no wonder she was still alive, but at the time of the full-scale maze attack, they ran into each other like this.
After that, it was hard to guess what kind of adverse effects it would have.
“… Oh yeah. Now it’s roughly right. Come to think of it, you acted like you knew more than the others back then.”
Shaoqian smiled and raised the tip of her finger as it was, forming a barrier, and licked her mouth again.
“Did you know about the identity of this maze from a long time ago? So I came here again. There is still something to be gained.”
Her reasoning was a bit erroneous, but in the end, it wasn’t wrong.
As long as the purpose had been fully grasped, the situation had become more difficult.
I glanced at Sophia, who had already entered the battle stance, and then opened my mouth in a low voice.
“I understand your anger.”
“Hey, do you know what kind of trouble I’ve been through here? anticipate. You are probably more angry than you imagined.”
“However, if you look at the situation, have you not been able to proceed further and stagnate?”
At those words, Xiao Chen’s movements stopped abruptly.
The corners of his eyes, whether he was clearly poking or living, were even shaking a little.
“To be honest, I was surprised to have broken through the maze by myself, but it will probably be difficult beyond this. You must be fully aware of that through your current experience.”
“… So what do you say? If it wasn’t for you, there would be no reason for me to fall into this damn space.”
“It’s good to pay the bill, but you don’t have to do it here.”
Even if you kill me anyway, it means nothing if I’m stuck here and can’t get out.
In other words, it meant that it was a judgment for the mutual benefit of each other to put such resentment aside first.
“Well, based on your reactions, it seems that there are still more colleagues, who knows if they will come together and try to beat me down?”
“As I said before, the purpose of this is to attack the maze. So, Xiao Chen’s experience of being here first will be of great help. Also, there is no need to waste power in front of the core of the maze, right?”
It was natural for Xiao Chen to be anxious, but there was certainly some truth to my words.
At that, Xiao Chen frowned and began to anguish.
And, at the same time, the party, who sensed the strangeness, appeared one after another.
“Who is the author?”
“Obviously we met in the Black Forest… … .”
In the end, the situation turned to nothing because of the missed timing.
It was Yeon-ji, who was from the same night school, who gave the final blow to Xiao-chen, whose expression was stained with disappointment.
“Long time no see. Everyone thought you were dead.”
“… smoker? Why are you here?”
Xiao Chen, who soon heard about this and that from Yeon-ji, took a deep breath, then dispersed his spiritual powers and declared de facto surrender.
“It seems that the situation is more twisted than I thought. great. It’s annoying, but I’ll work with you for now.”
With that, the immediate crisis was overcome for the first time. Feeling the tension release, I shake my hands and straighten my posture.
Xiao Chen, for some reason, spoke to me with a humble expression.
“… If you can afford it, give me some food and water.”
“I will.”
Even at a glance, she was speechless, so it was not unusual for such a request to come out first.
I have a gut feeling that this gateway will be a rather difficult battle, and we quickly moved to the third floor.
First of all, it was my turn to listen to the story of the experienced person.
***
After a brief search, we were able to find a place like a study room where we could take a break.
According to Xiao Chen, it seems that there will be no major problems even if it is used.
And there, she began the story of Tomb-Dum.
“Listen, it seems that you have solved all the secrets upstairs… … .”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“I was not. I didn’t get an answer, so I just used a different method. That’s why I’m stuck here right now.”
Xiao Chen is a master of shielding.
And when she was previously in the Black Forest, she was interested in the witch showdown and continued to study it.
“Simply put, you just touched the root of this maze and forced a path through it.”
But, of course, that was unacceptable, and for that, Xiao Chen was awarded a very serious penalty.
“I don’t know how it was originally woven, but these things didn’t respond to me.”
Clearly, some obstacle must be overcome before heading to the next gate, but Xiao Chen was no longer qualified to do so.
In the end, it is the story of being trapped in this place without being able to go anywhere, consuming supplies and mental energy.
‘Have you not crossed the gates of the sun?’
In fact, until then, there were plenty of traces that seemed to have passed through the gate, but the fourth space was intact.
At that point, it seemed likely that he had given up on the Jeonggong method and aimed for a gap in the barrier.
Hearing this, Yeon-jae immediately tilted his head and uttered cold words.
“It doesn’t look like it will help you in the end, so it’s okay to leave it here, isn’t it?”
At that, Xiao Chen, who was once a colleague, looked at her as if he was puzzled.
However, I quickly shook my head.
“no. As long as you have a high level of knowledge about this barrier, it is definitely worth working with. Also, there is a good chance that the penalty she has will help the attack.”
According to Xiao Chen, the devices hidden in the mansion did not respond to her.
I don’t know if it’s possible, but if you use it in reverse, there will definitely be a way to use it.
“… Well, then there is nothing I can do about it.”
Yeon-ji turned his head as if he was a little sad. Perhaps she thought it would be neater to deal with Xiao Chen, who might return to Luke, here.
In fact, it was natural for her to become a traitor.
Perhaps Xiao Chen also noticed such a feeling, he sighed and began to speak.
“It’s still a cool idea. don’t worry. I have no intention of going back to Luke now.”
That was a bit embarrassing.

Most of the members of the night school are with Luke, but there is no way to give up on it so easily.“huh. I have my own way Luke’s plan doesn’t seem to work out as well as expected… … There is no need to stick to one place.”
Hahaha, Xiao Chen was the first character to retire after the night school’s attack on the headquarters, so his true intentions were not clearly revealed.
It was not impossible at all to walk a different path with Luke as she is such a woman.
“Then we will talk later.”
Anyway, this roughly cleared up each other’s positions, so Xiao Chen started talking about the mansion again.
“At night, unidentified things roam around this mansion.”
“… Are you a ghost?”
“It’s not like the image. Of course they ignored me as if I was an invisible person… … .”
We don’t know how they will react. Everyone could understand what it meant, even if you didn’t have to go behind the scenes.
“When I looked around this mansion, there were three places I felt suspicious.”
From the banquet hall on the 1st floor, the huge drawing room on the 2nd floor, and the door that doesn’t open in the corner of the hallway on the 3rd floor.
As a result, the places we had to explore in earnest tomorrow morning were all decided.
“First of all, it’s going to be a priority to get through tonight.”
So, each of us made up our own minds and took a break.
From now on, it was going to be a very long, long night.
***
‘… It’s really ridiculous.’
A little while before the night was over, Xiao Chen walked down the hallway on the second floor, deep in thought.
Originally, Xiao Chen had planned that if Han Kang-yun had no more companions, he would get down on his knees to steal supplies and use it to attack the maze.
However, it was not only the existence of soft porcelain that led to such a change of thinking.
‘Obviously, it didn’t matter much when we met in that forest… … .’
Of course, even at that time, Han Kang-yoon showed a sense and skill that was not appropriate for his age.
However, that didn’t work for Xiao Chen either.
‘Actually, if it hadn’t been for that damn stone, it would have ended sooner.’
However, the moment he met Han Kang-yoon again here, Xiao-chen could not help but be embarrassed.
‘It was a completely different level than it was back then.’
It was hard to find any gaps, and even if they fought, it didn’t look like they would win anytime soon.
Also, what really puzzled Xiao Chen was the conclusion of his own instincts in that brief moment.
‘I was not sure of victory.’
Of course, that was only a handful of concerns, but Xiao Chen clearly felt the possibility of a glimmer of defeat from Han Kang-yun.
Considering that one year has not passed since the duel in the Black Forest, this is a formidable growth rate.
‘… … .’
Xiao Chen had a purpose. It had something in common with the goal of Luke, the head of the night school, but it was difficult to see it as a complete match.
‘If you look at the situation, that guy will continue to fight the night school.’
Unlike Luke, Xiao Chen’s purpose was not meant to be accomplished by immortality.
So, Xiao-chen felt a strong intuition there.
If he continues to oppose Han Kang-yoon on the side of night school, he will not be able to even be sure of his own safety.
‘Luke, he’s an unbelievable monster, but… … .’
Now you should keep that in mind too.
Just as Luke, who was a young genius, defeated the giants who ruled the world and rose to his current position, there is no law that he himself will not be in the same position.
“… … .”
And in Xiao Chen’s view, Han Kang-yun was capable enough.
