【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 131: Accidentally Entering the Cursed Land

After that person disappeared, the only sound left in the darkness was the heavy breathing of the crowd. This breathing sound was particularly clear in the silent space, as if it was the only proof of life in this darkness.

Ruan Jianan slumped on the ground, his eyes dull, as if his soul had left his body. His eyes lost focus, staring blankly ahead, unresponsive to everything around him. His body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and he leaned limply against the cold wall. His lips trembled slightly, and he muttered to himself: "It's over, everything is over..." His face was full of despair and helplessness, and tears silently slid down from the corners of his eyes, leaving two clear marks on his cheeks.

Lin Yanan leaned against the wall, her body trembling constantly, her eyes full of confusion. She hugged her arms tightly, trying to give herself some warmth and comfort, but it was all in vain. Her teeth kept chattering, making a "clucking" sound. She looked at Ruan Jianan from time to time, and at Qin Hao and the strange man, as if looking for an answer, an answer that could free her from fear. Her voice was crying and trembling: "What should we do? Is there really no hope?"

Qin Hao paced back and forth, holding his head in his hands, with a look of irritation and anxiety on his face. His steps were hurried and heavy, and every step seemed to be venting his inner anxiety. His brows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character. His eyes were full of bloodshot, and his eyes revealed a kind of determination and unwillingness. He kept muttering in his mouth: "There must be a way, there must be..." His breathing became rapid and disordered, as if the flame in his heart was about to burn out.

The stranger closed his eyes tightly, frowning, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart. His face had a complex expression, sometimes showing a trace of fear, and sometimes flashing a flash of determination. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into the flesh, but he felt no pain at all. His chest rose and fell violently, and every breath was accompanied by a deep struggle. He finally opened his eyes, revealing a trace of determination in his eyes: "We can't just sit there and wait to die!"

Ruan Jianan looked up when he heard the stranger's words. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by despair. "But what can we do? That man said it was a curse, how can we break it?" His voice was filled with tears, as if he had given up all resistance.

Lin Yanan also agreed: "Yes, we have been walking for so long and still haven't found a way out. Maybe... maybe this is really fate." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally she almost turned into talking to herself.

Qin Hao stopped and walked in front of everyone: "No! We can't give up like this! We can't be defeated by fear and despair! Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must try!" His voice echoed in the darkness with a firm strength.

The strange man nodded. "That's right. We can't just wait to die. We must continue to look for a way out. Maybe there are clues that we haven't found yet."

Ruan Jianan hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and said, "Okay, then let's... let's try again."

Lin Yanan also stood up. Although her body was still shaking, there was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Qin Hao looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's go together. But everyone, be careful. There may be dangers here that we don't know about."

Everyone began to move forward cautiously, each step full of vigilance.

In the darkness, some strange noises were heard from time to time, causing their heartbeats to suddenly speed up.

Lin Yanan tightly grasped the corner of Qin Hao's clothes, her voice trembling: "What...what is this sound?"

Qin Hao shook his head, "Don't be afraid, it might just be rumors."

However, as they went deeper, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if something was approaching.

The strange man stopped and said, "Everyone be careful, something might happen."

Just then, a fork suddenly appeared ahead.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing which path to choose.

The passage on the left was filled with a strange fog, while low roars could be heard from the passage on the right.
