Chapter 836 Trapped
Just as she retreated, Shen Lingxi realized that she was escaping, and hurriedly suppressed the fear in her heart. She strode into the room and locked the door from the inside.
Shen Lingxi was not in the mood to appreciate the decorations in the Demon\'s study, her gaze looking for the other door that she could use.
While she was looking around, she saw a picture frame on the desk. There was a picture in the frame, and the woman with the nightmarish smile was clearly her.
How could this devil\'s study have a picture of her before?
How could that be?
Shen Lingxi had doubts in her heart.
Instinctively, she stepped forward, trying to figure out what was going on.
Only when she got closer did she notice a few words written at the bottom of the photo. "Dearest love in this life!"
But there was a big red cross above the word "love" in this life, as if it was trying to deny the meaning of those four words in this way.
Shen Lingxi\'s focus was not on the red cross above the word, but on the words "Dearest love in this life".
Long Yi!
It was him!
In this lifetime, she would never forget that this vigorous handwriting was definitely written by Long Yi, it couldn\'t be wrong.
Furthermore, Shen Lingxi still remembered that this photo was taken when she was with Long Yi, because her smile would only be this bright when she was with him.
In the past, when she didn\'t laugh, he would always think of a way to make her laugh in his own unique way. Later, when she was with him, she would let go of all her troubles.
Shen Lingxi picked up the photo frame with trembling hands and hugged it tightly against her chest. She muttered: "Long Yi, Long Yi, are you there? If you\'re here, can you please answer me? Why don\'t you come out and take me away from this scary place? "
No matter how she asked, no one answered her, and in addition to her voice, there was a deathly silence in the study.
Just when Shen Lingxi was so desperate that she almost couldn\'t breathe, an exquisite ring box beside the photo frame caught her attention.
She reached out to take a look, and saw a ring lying inside the box. It was the engagement ring that Long Yi, whom the devil had stolen from her hands, gave to her.
Long Yi?
Long Yi?
Are you there?
Are you there?
Are you there?
Please answer me!
Shen Lingxi crazily shouted the Long Yi\'s name, but no matter how she shouted, no one replied her.
Unable to receive Long Yi\'s response, despair assaulted Shen Lingxi\'s heart once again. It made her body go soft, and he fell down onto the ice-cold floor.
Not her Long Yi.
Her Long Yi was not here.
How could her Long Yi be here?
She smiled bitterly, laughing at herself for missing him, for thinking so much that she was about to lose her head and become a terrible madwoman.
Then, since the Long Yi was not here, why did that devilish man have her picture?
Why did that devilish man retrieve the discarded ring?
Why was that?
Could he be her Long Yi?
This thought surfaced in Shen Lingxi\'s mind, scaring him to the point that her face paled and her weak body trembled rhythmically.
No!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
That devilish man was so terrifying, so detestable, and so brutal, he definitely wasn\'t her Long Yi.
The most important thing was that half of the devil\'s face that she could see was completely different from her own Long Yi. How could he possibly be her Long Yi?
Since her Long Yi wasn\'t here, she couldn\'t waste any more time.
After thinking it through, Shen Lingxi immediately put away the photo and ring in her bosom and hugged them tightly, her tenseness making it seem as if she was protecting her most beloved man.
Just as Xiao Jiu had said, there was a back door to the study room.
There was a very narrow wooden ladder outside the back door. Going down the wooden ladder was like going to the backyard.
After escaping from the place where he had imprisoned her, Shen Lingxi\'s breath hadn\'t even recovered before he quickly faced his second problem.
There was no road at the back of the mountain, and the fog was thick. She could not see everything from two meters away, so she had no idea how to get out of the mountain.
In such a harsh environment, Shen Lingxi had no other choice. She had nowhere to retreat to, and the only way to survive was to move forward.
In order to live, in order to possibly meet her Long Yi, even if it meant that she had a slim chance of survival, she didn\'t fear a single thing.
However, she had never thought of it, or perhaps she had, but in order to survive and go out to meet the person she wanted to meet, she had still chosen this path that was likely to be plotted against.
She had been groping her way for less than ten minutes when she stepped on a trap that someone had set and a mousetrap caught her right foot.
In that moment, blood flowed out from the cut on her leg, and the bone-piercing pain spread to Shen Lingxi\'s entire body, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
Shen Lingxi sat down and tried to remove the mouse trap on her leg, but the larger one seemed to be deliberately designed to trap her, even with all her strength, she was unable to open the trap.
She didn\'t have the strength to remove the mousetrap, so she dragged her injured foot forward.
Her body wasn\'t healthy to begin with. The weather was cold and freezing, especially when she was hungry. With her injured foot, all the strength in her body was sucked out.
However, Shen Lingxi was not willing to give up just like that, she clenched her teeth and endured the pain as she continued to walk.
After taking two steps, the pain from her foot caused her entire body to soften. Instinctively, she reached out to support the tree beside her.
However, she didn\'t expect that just as she was about to reach out to support the huge tree beside her, another sharp object would pierce into her palm.
In the blink of an eye, several wounds appeared on her fair palm, and blood flowed from them.
The ski
y and weak Shen Lingxi was still not willing to give up. Even if she were to die in this mountain today, she would die in a place far away from that cold prison cell.
However, her stamina was limited after all. In addition to her loss of blood, she spent about half an hour groping around. Her head became heavier and heavier, and her vision became increasingly blurred.
Several times her body hit a tree, and the tree trunk blocked her body for a moment, but it only slowed her down. Her body continued to roll down, until she lost all consciousness and only darkness remained in her world.
Long Yi!
I\'m coming to accompany you!
Before the darkness came, she didn\'t panic, but instead smiled in relief.
