Chapter 25: I'm So Scared

"Little one!"

He found her by the door of Room 305. Fake blood was flowing in front of the door, and she sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, tightly hugging her knees. Her small face buried in her arms, trembling all over, curled up into a tiny ball.

Her terrified appearance caused a sudden twinge in Danny's heart.

Without hesitation, he rushed over, placing the submachine gun on the ground, crouched down, gently embracing her. He felt the little one in his arms shivering more intensely. He comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid."

His voice was crystal clear and pleasant, like the sound of a mountain stream, accompanied by a gentle breeze. It flowed gently, incredibly beautiful and somewhat unreal.

The sound of his unexpectedly soothing voice and the sudden embrace dispelled much of Tan Yinyin's surging fear in that instant.

She slowly lifted her head and collided with a pair of sparkling starry eyes.

In the dim red light, his eyes were still as dreamy, resembling blue eyes as if holding an entire galaxy of brilliance.

In this horrifying environment and with the fact that the young man in front of her seemed not entirely human, having cat ears and a tail, he was a cat person.

However, Tan Yinyin unexpectedly... felt her heart skip a beat.

Because... he was just too good-looking!

How should she put it, he was simply—handsome to the extreme!

Even if he were a ghost, she felt she could handle it!

It turns out handsome guys can indeed overcome fear! It just depends on how handsome the guy is!

Seeing the cat-person teenager in front of her, Tan Yinyin thought, she could stand up again and fight ghosts barehanded for three hundred rounds!

Danny noticed that the little one was looking at him with a gaze that seemed no longer fearful but gradually turning into enthusiastic joy and infatuation...?

He didn't know; this is called infatuation.

He just felt a bit strange because Little One used to look at him with a different expression. So, he asked, "Little One, are you not scared anymore?"

Yes, indeed, not scared anymore.

But on the surface, Tan Yinyin seemed stunned for a moment, immediately recovering and pretending to be scared again. She rushed into his arms, shivering, "Brother, I'm scared!"

Simple-minded Danny understood. So, he gently patted her back, saying, "Not scared, not scared."

Tan Yinyin's heart beat even faster, hugging Danny's waist, burying her face in his chest, secretly giggling. This brother was just too cute!

After holding each other for a while, Danny continued to comfort her in a gentle tone. At this moment, the male voice came through the broadcast again.

"Players 1, 8, 16, and 17 have died, confined to the terrifying dark room."

Danny pondered for a moment and asked her, "Little One, are you still scared? We're right by the door of Room 305. Should we look for the key to this room and unlock the first level?"

Tan Yinyin nodded, mainly wanting to nuzzle against his chest.

Her affectionate behavior couldn't be stopped. Her small face remained buried in his chest as she sobbed, "Brother, I'm still so scared. Can you hold my hand all the time? Otherwise, I'll definitely cry from being scared."

"Okay," Danny nodded, not sensing anything wrong.

He thought, it turns out that girls are indeed a bit more timid than boys. When Little One walked with that pervert before, she wasn't this scared. It must be because that pervert was too annoying, and Little One didn't want to hug him or hold his hand, so she pretended not to be scared.

It was truly heartbreaking, he felt.

After letting her go, he held her hand and stood up. Looking at Little One, who was almost a head shorter than him, he felt her head was fluffy. Suddenly feeling a bit curious, he wanted to rub it and reached out to do so a few times.

He realized that rubbing someone's head does create a unique feeling. No wonder Little One likes to rub his head so much.

Tan Yinyin obediently enjoyed Danny's affectionate gestures, feeling very pleased inside. She thought this brother seemed to like her too, which was great!

However, this technique of rubbing heads seemed strangely similar to how she used to rub Blue's head. Thinking of Blue, it seemed she needed to end the game quickly, access the surveillance, and find him. So, she became even more eager to unlock the levels with this brother and win the game.
