Pale as death, the rib-like steps descended straight into the basement.
The steps were densely packed, each barely wide enough to place a foot on. A single misstep could lead to a slide downward.
But darkness engulfed the end.
As if leading to an abyss.
A tremor of inexplicable fear shook Lin Yiyi's heart.
Although she hesitated, the barrage of messages was already bubbling with excitement:
"—It's a hidden room!"
"—Sister Lin, quick, go down and check it out! No one's been there!"
"—Go get a lamp?"
Where would I find a lamp, eh.
...Fine then.
If I'm going to die, I'll die. I was here to explore anyway...
With her mind made up, Lin Yiyi began her descent.
The basement had no light, and the stairs were somewhat greasy. To avoid slipping and causing her wound to tear and bleed profusely, Lin Yiyi held tightly onto the handrail, while her other hand pressed against her stomach, trying to slow her movements as much as possible.
"Can't they see my health bar?"
