Chapter 247 Glug, glug, I'm hungry...
After marveling at the eerie cleanliness of the place, Qi Min turned back but only took two steps before collapsing to the ground due to sudden dizziness.
"Huh...huh..."
Qi Min pressed his still-bleeding abdomen with one hand, barely managing to sit against the wall, his chest heaving heavy breaths due to lack of oxygen.
With his mind reeling, Qi Min felt his vision blurring, realizing it was a sign of excessive blood loss and physical exhaustion.
He barely rested along the way, and had no chance to bandage his wounds.
The few healing cards they had were used up in the fights with those poor girls on the upper level.
He's only managed to escape here because of his sheer willpower.
But it seems he can't hold on much longer...
Qi Min sat against the wall, head bowed, lost in thought. He was about to disappoint that person.
Surviving in this world called "Dungeon" is really hard and exhausting...
He simply couldn't run anymore, and he was too exhausted to run any further...
Qi Min recalled the person who had sacrificed himself to make sure he found a way to get out alive, and silently apologized to him in his heart.
He really tried his best and struggled in every way he could.
But whether he humbled himself, acted cautiously, or remained indifferent, tearing apart his conscience to protect himself, he seemed unable to escape the pursuit of death...
Ultimately, there was no way to get out of here alive...
Qi Min's eyelids drooped with a sigh, and his right hand fell limply from the wound on his abdomen, landing in a pool of blood beside him.
His hand was stained crimson again, but the crimson color, reflecting off his fingers which had already turned blackish-red, actually made them look much cleaner.
Just then, a soft footstep echoed in the quiet area.
A little boy holding a baby a few months old appeared in front of Qi Min.
The young boy stared blankly at the player lying on the ground, seemingly dying.
However, a hint of disgust suddenly appeared on her brow when she saw the floor that Qi Min had dirtied.
"It's filthy, how could it have come here..."
The young boy looked at Qi Min and uttered a disgusted remark. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the infant he was holding suddenly stirred.
"Hmm... um?"
The baby, who had been quietly nestled in his arms, suddenly started wiggling his little feet and trying to climb off his brother, as if he wanted to go to the player on the ground.
"Don't go there, it's dirty."
The young boy pressed it down again, frowning as he spoke, but the little guy remained stubborn, wanting to get off his brother.
In the end, the boy couldn't resist its pleas and put it on the ground to see what it wanted to do.
The baby had just been born when it lay on the ground and licked its lips, then crawled toward Qi Min with expectant eyes.
It remembered very clearly that it was this person who had sprinkled something sweet right where they were sleeping.
If it can't eat what's on the ground, it will look for any left on the person's body.
The young boy looked at the baby he had cleaned up and saw it crawling towards the bloodstains created by the player. He frowned and picked it up again.
"Hmm? Hmm! Hmm... Let go! Let go!"
The baby waved its hand in dissatisfaction, then turned back with its dark eyes to accuse its older brother of picking it up again.
Seeing this, the young boy had no choice but to ask a question.
"Tell me what you're looking for, and I'll help you find it."
Upon hearing this, the baby immediately withdrew its accusing eyes, its bright eyes pointing with its little finger at Qi Min, who lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
And so, after the young boy discovered that he was not dead and could not find what the baby wanted, Qi Min was taken to a similarly clean room, but not the one Qi Min had seen first.
When Qi Min was conscious, he felt something unusually cold and soft on his chest.
As Qi Min struggled to open his eyelids, he felt the unusually cold thing on his chest move, and then his eyelids were forcibly pried open the next second.
Wow! (′⊙w⊙`) What a pair of dark, round eyes!
Qi Min looked at the eyes in front of him, which were only half a fist's distance away, with a slight fright. His heart skipped a few beats.
Is it this stimulating right after waking up?
Has he gone back to that room full of babies again?
Is this baby getting so close that it's planning to eat itself?
Should we start with the eyes?!
Perhaps because he had just woken up, Qi Min was having some uncontrollable wild thoughts. After making eye contact with the baby, he didn't even think about raising his hand to put it down.
The baby looked curiously at the person in front of him, and after seeing his eyes move and being pried open, he was just about to call out to his brother.
Then his attention was drawn to Qi Min's suddenly quickened heartbeat, and he became curious and wanted to look for him from where he was sitting.
But its movement made Qi Min think that the little thing had changed its mind and was going to start by eating the internal organs, so he was shocked and got up.
Startled by Qi Min's sudden movement, the baby lost its balance and fell straight off his chest.
Qi Min was startled when he got up. He instinctively reached out and hugged it, only realizing after holding it in his arms that the baby seemed to be a ghost... baby.
Qi Min froze again, remaining motionless with his arms wrapped around the baby, waiting for the ghost baby's reaction.
The baby's body suddenly felt weightless, and then it was held back in a warm embrace, so it rubbed against the warm embrace in a daze.
It seemed that the temperature was just right, or perhaps it was the heartbeat it was looking for.
The baby pressed its soft little face even closer, tilting its head slightly and looking at Qi Min with longing eyes, seemingly curious about the person's temperature.
Qi Min held it stiffly for a moment, but found that this ghost baby seemed to just want to rub against him and had no intention of attacking him.
Just then, Qi Min was thinking about how to deal with the ghost baby.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
Qi Min's waist and abdomen, which were being pressed against by the baby, made an untimely sound.
He was hungry...
Since entering this place, Qi Min has been running almost the entire time.
It has been at least seven or eight hours since he last replenished his energy!
But why did that damn stomach rumbling have to start at this time?!
Qi Min thought with slight annoyance, carefully observing the baby's expression with his eyes lowered, afraid that the sudden sound would cause it to suddenly burst out.
However, the baby's reaction was unexpected; it did not exhibit any special reaction or movement as Qi Min had imagined.
Instead, they looked around curiously, seemingly searching for the source of the sound.
