I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.
Chapter 184, Section 111, Chapter 28: The Amnesiac Corridor
Chapter 184 1.11 28 The Hall of Amnesia
Are you alone too?
In the darkness, a childish voice asked her curiously.
"..." Mu Yegui remained silent and did not give any answer.
Why aren't you saying anything? Talk to me!
[We finally managed to find a living person...]
"Who are you?" She glanced at the dark surroundings with her silver vertical pupils, then sat down on the ground and asked.
[Me? My name is... Who are you? Are you asking for my name? Or are you asking for my pseudonym?]
"Answer whichever answer you can, or you can answer them all if you'd like." Mu Yegui sat on the ground, grabbed the brown bag at his waist, and began to rummage through it.
"[They call me a demon, is that my name?]" the voice asked.
"A demon..." The silver vertical pupils stared fixedly at the three gold coins in the bag, a slight smile curving the corners of his mouth, as if he had thought of something good.
"[Is this a name?]" it pressed.
"This is just a pseudonym, not my real name," she said slowly.
Speaking of demons, I think of the demons in books who can bewitch others. The books I gave her contained many stories about demons. It seemed that demons were greedy and loved money, and they also liked to use money to bewitch humans and obtain their souls.
Are they the same kind of demon?
But this demon seems a bit stupid.
Mu Yegui lowered her head in thought, then suddenly took a gold coin from her pocket and tucked it between her fingers. Her cool, silver, vertical pupils glanced at the coin, and she slowly said, "Urias, do you like this name?"
[Urias? Gold coins!!] The voice was initially puzzled, but then suddenly became excited after seeing the gold coins between Mu Yegui's fingers.
"Do you want it?" the soft, sweet voice whispered, with a hint of seduction in its tone.
[I want it!! Gold coins!! It's so sparkly and pretty!!!]
"However, since you don't have a physical form, it seems you can't obtain it." A hint of regret lingered in his voice as his silver vertical pupils scanned the surrounding darkness, searching for any trace of it.
"I'm coming out right now!" the voice shouted excitedly.
There was a 'thud' sound, and something fell to the ground.
Something tugged at her sleeve, but Mu Yegui didn't see it.
"I'm here!" the voice shouted to Mu Yegui.
"I still can't see you, what should I do? This way I can't place it in your palm myself." Mu Yegui said softly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
A very small hand grabbed Mu Yegui's wrist, and a voice whispered in her ear, "I'm putting my hand here, give it to me!!"
Mu Yegui gently placed the gold coin in its palm, and the environment, which should have been pitch black, suddenly brightened up.
What appeared before Mu Yegui was a small child wearing a black cloak. Judging from his height, he seemed to be only about one meter tall, which matched his childish voice perfectly.
It played with the gold coin in its hand with great delight, then excitedly asked Mu Yegui, "Any more! Any more! Glittering gold!!"
"Shall I call you Urias?" Mu Yegui took out a second gold coin from his money bag and asked softly.
"Okay, okay! My name is Urias! Give me the golden glitter!!" It grabbed Mu Yegui's wrists with both hands and shook her hands anxiously.
Seeing that it agreed, Mu Yegui placed the second gold coin into its palm.
The surrounding environment became brighter.
The child, who should have been just a dark blob, now had fair hands. He was tightly clutching two gold coins, almost half the size of his hands, and looked very happy.
Her cool, silver eyes flickered slightly. She had guessed before that the darkness here was related to him, but she didn't expect it to be the most direct connection.
So how can she leave this place?
As I was thinking, my gaze suddenly fell on him.
Mu Yegui said, "I still have one gold coin."
He raised his eyes, but because the black hood was too long, only his fair chin could be vaguely seen.
"I'll give it to you too, so in exchange, will you come with me?" If I let him come with me, then I should be able to leave this place.
"Leave?" he asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.
"Leave this place and come home with me, but if you don't come with me, I can't leave either." Whether this is true or false, it's been said now, so even if it's not true, it has to be true.
"I see..." He lowered his head, his tone hesitant.
"Don't you want the gold coins anymore?" Mu Yegui looked at his hood and said slowly. "Yes!!" He immediately raised his head, but then lowered it again the next second. "I can't leave easily. If someone wants to leave here, they have to give their life in exchange."
"I can help you, but you have to promise me first that you're willing to leave with me." The silver vertical pupils stared at it quietly as Mu Yegui seduced it step by step, leading it into the trap.
"I do!!" As he agreed, he was afraid that Mu Yegui would change his mind, so he quickly grabbed the gold coins from Mu Yegui's hand and snatched them away.
The surrounding darkness was completely dispelled by the pure white, and the two were now in a boundless, pure white space. He was covered by a black cloak, but something could be vaguely seen moving behind him.
Mu Yegui could feel his life force gradually fading away after he agreed.
With her fingertips lightly twirling the silver ring on her left index finger, she unhesitatingly took it off and crushed it into powder.
[Mission restarting...]
[Mission restart successful! Golden Dragon dungeon restored!]
[Player has died.]
[Ding! Error!!]
[Player's health is being restored...]
[Player's health has been restored; the dungeon will continue.]
Mu Yegui slowly opened his eyes and saw a pure white corridor with a beautiful garden surrounding the white stone pillars.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the hood of the child, who was completely covered by a black cloak, to reveal his delicate and pretty little face. His black, wispy hair swayed slightly, and a pair of dark red devil horns grew from his forehead, but because he looked so young, the horns were still very immature and lacked any sharpness.
He looked around at the scenery with a hint of curiosity on his face, one hand tightly gripping Mu Yegui's sleeve.
The 'Ten Nights Corridor' punishment has ended.
