บท 95: Dead Ants

"However, Frugeon, if I may, I have just one more question," said Victor.

"Humph! What is it?"

"I didn't pay much attention to the route I took to get here. Do you know which way my room is?"

Frugeon let out an exasperated sigh, as if the mere thought of guiding Victor back to his room was an unwelcome burden. However, he restrained himself and replied in a calm, albeit impatient, voice:

"Yes, I know where your room is. Follow me."

On the way to his room, Victor continued to feel watched, as if invisible eyes were following him at every step. It was an unsettling feeling, but he remained calm. Luckily, Victor paid attention to detail even in the midst of the chase and didn't use too much force on his feet, so the walls of the corridors remained intact.

"Have you got used to these corridors?" asked Victor, trying to dispel the uncomfortable silence between him and Frugeon.
