Hey! Let's play cards

The sharp knife was getting closer and closer to You Xin, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hold on!!!" You Xin used all his strength, and when his teeth were about to break, he finally stopped at the moment when the sharp knife was about to touch him.

You Xin was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.

As he got closer, You Xin discovered that at the bottom of the rows of sharp knives, there were several highly decayed and skeletal skeletons. These seemed to be the final consequences of falling on the sharp knives.

Thinking that he would become like this in the future, You Xin expressed his refusal and said he could not accept it.

The person who had just fallen was now lying in front of You Xin, feeling the petite body in his arms. A wisp of soft fragrance flowed into his nose. He knew without looking that Xia Qingrou had also fallen.

Xia Qingrou held You Xin tightly. Due to her short stature, she could not support herself on the wall like You Xin did.

"This is..." After getting over the initial confusion, Xia Qingrou finally began to check the situation of the two.

Xia Qingrou also noticed the rows of sharp knives and immediately understood the danger the two were in.

"Do you still have the strength to move forward?" Xia Qingrou tried to leave immediately and said to You Xin.

Although You Xin wanted to act tough as usual, given the current situation, even he couldn't say it out loud.

"Don't think about it. It's already a struggle for me to just hold on like this." You Xin said truthfully.

"Is that so? Then..." Xia Qingrou broke away from You Xin's arms and tried to find the raised point on the wall.

Xia Qingrou tentatively stepped on a bump, but as soon as she applied force, the bump broke and almost made Xia Qingrou fall to the ground.

"Danger!" You Xin quickly grabbed Xia Qingrou and pulled her back into his arms.

The switch on the top slowly turned off, and the light was gradually obscured, as if the two people's hope of leaving this place was gradually shattered.

Under the unwilling gazes of the two men, the cave fell into darkness again.

……

"I'm sorry. It was my impulsiveness that put us in this dangerous situation." In the darkness, You Xin was the first to admit his mistake.

You Xin's impulse had long faded away at this time, and he was still worried about Li Ming, but he was now in a greater crisis.

Xia Qingrou snorted unhappily, obviously still feeling a little resentful.

You Xin shook his head, feeling somewhat regretful.

Facing Xia Qingrou's reaction, You Xin didn't know what to say. He could only try his best to make Xia Qingrou feel more comfortable.

After a while, You Xin reacted and felt a little embarrassed. After all, their current posture was that Xia Qingrou was leaning in You Xin's arms, like a couple in love.

The petite beauty in his arms made You Xin couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.

You Xin swallowed his saliva, and slowly stretched out his hands, which had nowhere to put, trying to hug Xia Qingrou.

You Xin knew that his face must be flushed now, and his trembling hands were about to touch Xia Qingrou's waist.

"Put away your little thoughts." Xia Qingrou said suddenly, and the frightened You Xin withdrew his hand immediately.

"You...how did you know? It's so dark here." You Xin asked hesitantly, like a child who was caught red-handed for making a mistake.

"Your heartbeat betrays you." Xia Qingrou said directly without showing any mercy.

You Xin then realized that Xia Qingrou's head was resting on his chest.

There was another silence, and only the sound of the two people's breathing could be heard in the darkness.

……

After a while, Xia Qingrou suddenly asked, "Hey - why are you so strong?"

"Me? I'm not too sure, but every time I duel with others, I feel that I will definitely win." You Xin gave a somewhat strange answer.

"Is that so? It has come to this, but you still don't want to tell me?" Xia Qingrou was not satisfied with the answer and said unhappily.

You Xin quickly explained: "It's not that I'm being vague on purpose, it's just that I don't even know it myself, maybe it's some kind of talent or something."

Xia Qingrou buried her head in You Xin's chest and said with emotion: "Is that so? That's great! You can be so strong!"

"Why do you pursue power?" You Xin asked, and the atmosphere began to return to normal.

"Me? I just don't want to lose. Since I was a child, my father doted on me because my mother died early. He always protected me and prevented me from getting hurt."

"Indeed! But that uncle is a little overprotective." You Xin could not forget the flying kick from the principal. Every time he mentioned it, his stomach ached slightly.

"It's because my father treated me like this that I want to repay his expectations, want to become stronger, and want to grow into a girl who no longer needs protection." Xia Qingrou said a lot at once, and You Xin listened quietly.

"So I continue to improve myself, hone my skills, think of more diverse tactics, improve the composition of my deck, and become a stronger duelist."

After listening to this, You Xin had a preliminary understanding of the girl in his arms who hoped to become a better person.

"Are you tired?" You Xin asked.

"It's tiring, but worth it, isn't it?" Xia Qingrou asked back.

"It's certainly right to become better, but don't ignore certain things in the process of becoming stronger," You Xin said.

Xia Qingrou looked up at You Xin in the darkness, wondering what he was going to say next.

"Have you asked your father? Is this really what he wants?" You Xin asked this question.

"He..." Xia Qingrou didn't know how to start for a moment.

"If you really want to repay him, why don't you first ask him what he wants?" You Xin said immediately.

"There is nothing wrong with pursuing power. It is a very good thing. However, what your father wants most is perhaps to understand you better and let you live a happy and carefree life?"

Xia Qingrou didn't say anything, but held You Xin's clothes tightly with both hands. You Xin didn't say anything more, but stretched out his hands tentatively again.

This time, You Xin finally succeeded in hugging Xia Qingrou.

Xia Qingrou did not refuse!

"Nice!" You Xin felt secretly happy.

In this dark trap, hearts are beating constantly.

……

In the study, the man in a suit and paying attention to his appearance finally finished his dance.

"Ah - no matter how many times I do this, it's never enough." The man's face flushed, still savoring the feeling just now.

"Then there's a dessert waiting for me to enjoy." The man picked up the cold coffee on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Thinking about the scene just now, the man suddenly felt that something was strange.

"Harakti? Who is this?" The man remembered a name mentioned by You Xin when he rushed over.

However, when the man said the name, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

"This? What... is going on?" The man felt as if his head was about to explode. He seemed to have involved some kind of taboo just by saying a name.

"Damn it, what does that kid know?" The man clasped his head tightly with both hands, his nails digging into his flesh without him noticing.

Fortunately, the pain eventually faded away, leaving the man lying on the ground, half-dead.

The dark power in the man's body became disordered, a bloody smell rushed up his throat, and just a name left him seriously injured.

Such an injury cannot be recovered overnight.

"Although I don't know what you know, it doesn't matter anymore. After all, the dead can't speak." The man slowly got up from the ground, with blood continuously flowing from his scalp.

Chapter 52: Way Out

When You Xin and Xia Qingrou are in danger, what is Li Ming's situation?

Li Ming was trapped in a dim secret room in the basement of the villa.

Li Ming was locked in the center of the room with iron chains.

"Ah——" Li Ming roared, his muscles bulging as he tried to break free from the chains.

The sturdy chain did not move at all, but despite this, Li Ming kept trying. Even though his veins were throbbing, he still couldn't shake the chain.

In the corner of the room, a yellow candle was burning quietly, providing the only light to this secret room, but also bringing deadly danger.

The floor of the secret room was covered with a thin layer of liquid, and Li Ming was also splashed with a lot of it.

A pungent smell kept rushing into Li Ming's nose. Li Ming was not unfamiliar with this smell. He could smell it every time he passed by a gas station.

Gasoline, full of gasoline!

The candle is inserted into a layer of gasoline. When the candle burns out, the entire secret room will be engulfed in flames.

The person who designed this mechanism was very careful and deliberately left a vent on the ceiling to ensure that there is enough air to act as a combustion aid when the flame burns.

"Ah - Ha! Ha! Ha!" Another failed attempt. Li Ming had overexerted himself and his muscles were sore, and the candle was already half burned.

"Am I going to die here?" Li Ming, who has always been positive and optimistic, couldn't help feeling a little despair in his heart.

"No! I must not give up hope. I must find a way to get out." Li Ming shook his head vigorously, driving away the negative emotions in his heart, and began to look for a way to leave here.

Li Ming began to observe the secret room carefully.

It was very clean here, and there was nothing in it except a heavy iron door and a candle.

Although the vent above the head looks like a hole, the hole is so small that even a child cannot squeeze in.

There was no other debris on the ground except a thin layer of gasoline.

What a cruel reality. In the current situation, there seems to be no better way than waiting for rescue.

Li Ming lowered his head. There was an iron chain tied around his wrists and ankles. He looked like the Chinese character “大”.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Li Ming was anxiously thinking about how to save his life. Although he believed that You Xin would definitely come to save him, it did not mean that he would not try to save himself.

……

In a dark room of the villa.

The man leaned on the sofa, his face still a little pale. The injuries he had just suffered had received preliminary treatment.

Looking at Li Ming's dying struggle on the screen, my originally unhappy mood improved a lot.

"Just go with those two! I believe you won't be alone on the road to the underworld." The man said happily, ready to quietly enjoy the end of this drama.

……

At this time, the two people were still trapped in the study trap, and the situation began to become a little bad.

You Xin's legs were almost numb, so in order to distract himself, he kept chatting with Xia Qingrou about deck composition, tactical experience and other matters.
