Conqueror of the Sixth Path

Chapter 7: Chance

  The villain was not long in coming.

Today has brought you a lot of pain. You bowed down before his body.

Scream. That's what you wanted to spew out of yourself.

Weeping. That's what's pouring out of your eyes.

Rage. That's what's tearing you apart from the inside.

Blood. That's what's flowing under your feet.

Here are your allies now. After all, no one else...Silence and ...

.....

You didn't calculate the speed and crashed in there.

The room was flooded with light.

- * Where are we?*

You wanted to move, but you couldn't. Ethan pinned you down with his body. But thank heaven, you were covered by a wide canvas.

- * Itaan... * - you have thrown indecent thoughts out of your head.

He turned his head to the right and nervously whispered to you:

- Hella, crawl back, otherwise it will be worse...Faster!

You listened to Ethan. You wanted to ask a question, but you knew Ethan didn't really like answering them.

You're lucky. No one noticed your presence.

- * What is going on there?I don't understand anything.* - you grabbed Ethan's shoulder. - Ethan, who's there?

- Professor Kint.

- Eh?

- And his loyal lab assistant.

- * Even better. Show up in the enemy's lair.* - you started to panic. - Ethan, Ethan, what should I do there?

- Shut up. - he whispered to you, putting his finger to his lips.

When you calmed down, you were finally able to hear snatches of phrases:

- P-profes-sor... yes...

- ...stupid...

- ...yes...

- ...fake...

- ...yes...

- Okay... him...menace...

- ...what...a boy...

- ...killed...

You tried to understand what they were talking about, but you didn't really succeed.

Suddenly he entered the room...

- Ethan? - you looked at him. - Ethan, what do you mean?

You looked and couldn't believe your eyes. Ethan was standing next to the professor and the lab assistant. You got a little shiver.

- * Which one of them is real?* - you with shaking hands, tried to crawl away.

- Hella, where are you going? - he whispered after you.

- No... no...stay away!

- Where are you going? Gella, stop!

You started speeding up. You're so fixated on the other Ethan that you've forgotten where you are right now.

- Ah! - behind you, with a loud crash, bookcases began to fall. - * Oh, shit!*

You looked around in confusion. Three pairs of eyes were looking at you.
