Chapter 174: Escape [5]

The corridor was long and quiet. 

Tak, Tak—

The only sound that I could hear was the sound of my footsteps alongside the guards. Moving ahead, I had yet to meet any other guards. 

Of course, that was mainly because I had only just recently left. 

I was bound to meet a group soon enough. 

'Hopefully, this works.'

Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do. 

"...." 

Calming my nerves, I turned to look at the guard walking alongside me. He was long dead, and at first glance there seemed to be nothing wrong with him with the exception of his closed eyes. 

I was able to hide that fact by lowering his hat. Of course, that would be useless if one paid close attention. 

Twitching my finger, he moved forward. 

It was weird, but it almost felt as if my senses were numbing.
