"As long as you're by my side, that's all that matters."
You found Ruan Yuling's words somewhat headache-inducing, but now was not the time to fuss over them.
The passage wasn't very tall, likely designed for children to play in, which meant you had to crawl on all fours to get inside.
Ruan Yuling also set aside her identity as a wealthy woman and crawled into the passage just like you.
The three-meter distance was quickly covered, and just as you were about to exit, laughter suddenly echoed from ahead - the laughter of a child, not only abrupt but also sinister.
Just as you were about to look out, you suddenly saw a shadow appear before your eyes!
Looking up, you were horrified to find a doll about half a person's height running towards you at full speed!
"Oh no!"
You hastily retreated, but Ruan Yuling behind you hadn't realized what was happening up ahead. Consequently, the two of you collided in the passage.
