Capítulo 53: Chapter Fifty Three - The Babies Are Hungry!

Tyler could feel hot blood trickling down his ears. He and Dean were the most affected since the kids were all stuck to them and crying loudly. Did the male lead also start bleeding because of such an intense sound?

He worriedly glanced at the male lead only to find the latter's brows furrowed as he tightly clasped his hands over his ears. Veins bulged on his arms.

Soon, a thin line of blood trickled out of the ears, making Dean feel even more uncomfortable, but he didn't make any sound. Not even a groan could be heard from his mouth.

It seemed that this person was very good at ensuring such a trifle matter.

Usually, Tyler would've been fine, seeing that Dean wasn't very troubled. But after looking at the line of blood that was dropping down his ears, he felt uncomfortable all over. His heart felt a tinge of pain, making him feel even more worried.

The male lead must be feeling a lot of pain, right? Pursing his lips, just as Tyler was about to open his mouth, a sound of something falling on the ground echoed on the floor.

He looked over only to see that the man with glasses was kneeling on the ground while he covered his ears fiercely. There was a line of blood coming out of his ears, just like him and Dean.

"Bloody h*ll! Why're they crying?!"

Although Tyler couldn't hear what the man was saying, he could still understand the meaning behind it. He simply ignored the man and pursed his lips, trying to find a way to get rid of these kids.

Thankfully, since the kids were busy crying, they didn't care about sticking to their 'mommy' and 'daddy'. Instead, they wanted their parents to fulfill their desires as fast as possible.

So they crawled on the ground and stared at Tyler and Dean with eyes filled with tears. But the creepy thing was, even the drops of tears that fell from the eyes were made out of mirror color, and when the drops fell on the ground, smoke appeared out of it as if something had burnt the ground and created a hole.

Seeing that, Tyler's expressions changed, and he quickly dragged Adam and Dean in another secluded corner, away from the kids crying out hot tears colored in the mirror paint.

But he was too late. By the time the three of them were standing a little bit away from the little kids, Tyler heard the male lead suck in a deep breath. He quickly glanced at the person only to find a deep wound on the index finger. Blood poured out of the finger quickly.

Tyler's pupils shrunk. He tore another piece of clothing and wrapped Dean's finger as fast as he could.

"What the hell are these kids made of?" Adam couldn't help but voice out his thoughts. "They reflect the entire house because of their mirror skin, and now their tears burn the hell out of you!"

Even Tyler was so angry that his entire face had turned dark. The aura around him became colder and colder when he remembered the wound on Dean's hand.

"So that means…" Dean finally opened his mouth. Even though he still felt a bit of pain in his hand, it was still worth it. He could see the changes in Tyler's expressions, and his mood was lifted automatically. "We have to find the clues in this level, and at the same time, do our best to keep these children from crying."

Everyone nodded, but Tyler frowned another second and said in an almost scolding tone, "Stay still."

Seeing this person's dominant and almost colder face, the male lead obediently focused on his hand and pressed his lips together to hide his smile.

But no matter how far they went, the children crawled toward the corridor that led to the kitchen. The crying voice disturbed the three of them all over again, making their ears bleed unnaturally.

Just then, Tyler got an idea. He gestured his finger toward the cabinets in the kitchen. "See if you guys can find something to eat. Maybe the children are hungry."

Dean and Adam instantly realized what was happening and started going through the cabinets. By this time, dozens of children had already appeared inside the kitchen, and it became difficult for the three of them to talk.

But Tyler and Dean didn't need to talk at all. They had a tactical understanding according to which they could do something, and the other person would follow unconsciously without any delay.

It was as if they had worked together for quite a while before.

After shuffling the entire kitchen, they finally found a packet with a weird-looking slogan in the front.

"What's this?" Adam squinted his eyes, trying to read those words. "I can't understand!"

The reason why he couldn't understand was that the words were written in the opposite format. It seemed as if it was a mirror reflection of the original text.

Tyler didn't waste time before he snatched the packet, tore it open, and powered the baby food in a big bowl. After handing the empty packet to the male lead, he said, "Read the instructions."

Somehow, Dean stood there in a daze, looking at Tyler with eyes filled with smiles. He didn't know when this person became so proficient in household work. He seemed to have become an excellent 'wife.'

Seeing that the male lead was standing there and doing nothing, Tyler hit him on his shoulders. "What're you doing? Read it out!"

Dean finally woke up from his dream and took the packet in his hands. Since it was written in the mirror format, it was likely that he would have to use a mirror. But how could he find a mirror in this kind of world that wasn't an illusion? The available mirrors were either the kids' skin or the nonexistent exit mirror they hadn't seen yet.

So he kept reading it while pausing every once in a while to make sure he wouldn't spell it wrongly.

After a while, Tyler finally got the baby food ready and kept it on the ground. Just then, all the babies stopped crying and rushed toward the bowl.

The scene before their eyes seemed as if they weren't mirror children, but dogs who were rushing to fight with each other for food. It was simply chaotic. Some kids crawled over each other to eat the food.

Tyler didn't want to waste his precious time taking care of the illusory kids. So he swiftly walked out of the kitchen to find some clues.
