With Blanca’s body, just like this … dead?
Seeing her obviously distracted, Rachel didn’t hesitate to extend a leg to the side and step on the mechanism under the mirror door.
“Paige!”
Enrico swept past, thinking Rachel was going to do something against Paige, and immediately grabbed back Paige’s hand, turning her around in a hug and turning her back to Rachel.
Paige was stunned and was about to struggle when the entire underground space suddenly went black and the sky shook.
“What the hell?”
In the darkness, the crowd was in disarray.
Paige was being held by Enrico, and the two of them were having a hard time staying on their feet as something moved quickly around them.
Paige was desperately trying to make out in the darkness when a light suddenly whipped towards her.
A dagger or something?
Her eyes went cold, and she was about to kick it over, but the man’s hand was one step ahead of her, pushing her to the side and chopping her directly towards the other, grabbing the other’s hand and folding it viciously.
“Ah…” Rachel’s weak scream rang in Paige’s ears.
A barrier slid in front of Paige’s face, Rachel’s screams suddenly stopped, nothing could be seen around her in the pitch black, and the panicked sounds of everyone could not be heard.
In the midst of the shaking, Paige pressed aside and felt a cold patch in the palm of her hand.
It was a mirror.
The shaking gradually stopped and the darkness passed, and the underground lights snapped on, stinging her eyes.
“…”
Paige then realized she was in a maze of mirrors, standing on a tiny patch of ground beneath her feet.
The mirrors around her refracted her figure infinitely, giving no sense of her surroundings at all.
There was only her.
“Enrico? Enrico can you hear me?”
Paige tapped one of the mirrors and then held her breath to hear nothing.
The soundproofing was very good.
Guess everyone was as trapped as she was in this underground maze of unfathomable size.
I didn’t realize that Rachel had a talent for building more and more advanced mechanisms.
But what’s the point of building this maze to trap them here? No way, her people were right outside, she could just tear down mirror after mirror and get them out, so what was the point?
Paige pushed at the few mirrors that were stuck to her, one was able to push.
She looked down at her feet, and since she’d been given lights specifically, it meant it was harder to walk with her eyes.
Then use your brain.
Paige thought, slowly closing her eyes and letting her world fall into darkness once more before pushing the loose mirror door forward.
It was the mirrors that she touched next, and she pushed them one by one, erecting a path in her mind and feeling her way forward.
She had no idea just how big this maze was, and she hadn’t even run into a single person along the way.
The path in her mind became more and more complicated, with seven loops.
She could only go forward with her intuition.
Suddenly, the air around her became noticeably different, the temperature dropped straight down, and the coldness poured into her neck.
Paige opened her eyes, only to realize she was in a dark room.
There were dozens of screens, large and small, hanging on the walls, all of which were playing images right now, and the images were of where they were all trapped.
“…”
Should I say Rachel was unlucky, or was she, Paige, lucky.
Rachel had attacked at her earlier, and her subconscious reaction had been to backhand her back, but Enrico had pushed her, propelling her straight into the maze of paths that would give her access to the main operations control room.
And she did, indeed, pick her way through the intricate paths to get here.
Paige stepped into the control room and looked at the screen above her, realizing that the ones who had fallen through the cracks like she had were in the minority, and that most were several people who had been grouped together in one place by the maze of mirror doors in the midst of the ground shaking.
At the moment, everyone was walking around in a daze, bumping into walls.
And on the three big screens in the center, this one on the left is the scene where Jasper is tied to a chair, not much different from what we saw on the mirror door earlier.
This is what should be the room where Jasper is actually being held.
And on the right screen was a large mirrored room on all four sides, in which Enrico stood coldly in the center, surveying the surroundings, as Rachel collapsed at his feet gasping in pain.
“…”
The two of them are locked in one place.
Paige purses her lips.
There was a large screen above the center.
It was impossible to tell if it was some kind of room or something else on the big screen, it was especially dark.
The view was overhead, huge gears were turning, a blurry figure was hanging by its hands, blood all over its body, and the person was slowly falling down.
It wouldn’t take long for the person to fall into the gear rotation and be crushed and swallowed.
This figure … Blanca?
Paige is not quite sure, and fixed his eyes on two eyes, see that the figure’s chest is still a little undulating, she is not dead?
Seeing this situation, Paige could clearly feel that her heart loosened that much.
She didn’t know why.
Too late to care about that much, Paige was about to study how to unlock these messy mechanisms, when her ears were keenly aware of a slight sound.
It was breathing.
Paige immediately lowered her head and pulled open the cabinet underneath the console as soon as she could.
“Ah…” came a fearful shriek from inside, a slender woman hunched her shoulders and dove straight in.
Paige lowered her head, startled, “Brangelina?”
At the sound, the frightened woman inside immediately lifted her head and froze, turning from shock to ecstasy, “Blanca? Blanca!”
Brangelina immediately climbed out from the inside and hugged her, “Blanca, Blanca, you finally came back, sister missed you so much.”
Recognizing her as Blanca again.
Paige was breathless from her hug, patted her back soothingly and asked softly, “Why are you here?”
“I… I …,” Brangelina tried to answer her, but after racking her brain, she couldn’t.
Paige let go of her and surveyed what she was wearing, her clothes were a bit tattered, her face was ghastly white with a few bruises, and she was clutching a white bead in one hand.
“Blanca, I’m hungry.” Brangelina rubbed her stomach and looked up at her with hopeful, childlike eyes.
Paige felt around herself and felt nothing, a little embarrassed, “Just wait, I’ll get you something good to eat when I take you out, can you bear it?”
Brangelina was saddened to hear that there was no food right now and suddenly put the white beads in front of her, “Can I eat this?”
Paige took it and looked at it, then put it under her nose and sniffed it, her eyes shook.
It was the compulsion pill.
“Who gave you this?” Paige asked, looking over at her.
“A woman, said her name was Blanca, I don’t know her, and I wouldn’t dare eat what she gave me, Blanca, you tell me, am I doing the right thing?”
Brangelina’s panic went quickly, and this was waiting for Paige to compliment her again.
“Have you met Blanca and what did she tell you?” Paige pressed.
“She …”
Brangelina recalled, suddenly her eyes grew frightened, “There was a girl who was so bad, she grabbed my father, and she grabbed me, and she beat me … And another woman brought me here, and she knocked on it a couple times, and then someone came, and she stuffed me, and she made me eat this. Then, she went bang, fell on the ground, bled a lot and was taken away … I was scared and I kept hiding.”
Brangelina’s statement was very confusing.
Paige guessed and guessed before barely analyzing that Blanca had broken in and tried to take Brangelina away, but was discovered.
