Chapter 123: Exciting
— Before we go, I have a suggestion, but I do not know if you will accept it, " the Priest suddenly said. Su Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. Will the Priest finally show his fox tail?
Several people fell silent, waiting for the Priest's words.
— Since no one is against it, then I'll start, " the priest looked modest, but the smile that never left his face made one wonder what he was thinking right now.
— There's no doubt about the strength of our group, but we'll be in a truly dangerous area after we go down. Since we have formed a team, we must choose a leader so that our combat effectiveness will increase significantly and there won't be any conflicts between us, " the Priest said and smiled at everyone present.
— A good suggestion, but when choosing a leader, every vote should be taken into account, how about an oral vote? It will save you time, " Arata Kirishima said, drawing everyone's attention.
— Well.
— I agree.
— I don't care.
Kisho Arima and Takatsuki Sen were the first to speak, but Su Xiao didn't care. In any case, he would definitely lose, because there were at least two people in this group who would never choose him.
— Then let's start voting. Let me be the first. I choose Kisho Arima, " Arata Kirishima made the first choice, Kisho Arima still saved him, so his choice seemed quite predictable.
— I choose Donato Porpora — Kisho Arima chose the Priest.
— I'll hold off, " Takatsuki Sen said and chuckled. In her opinion, Kisho Arima would definitely become the leader of the group, the Priest and Su Xiao would definitely choose him.
— I'm voting for Takatsuki Sen.
— Takatsuki Sen.
The priest and Su Xiao said this at the same time, and the other three were stunned.
Takatsuki Sen was a little confused. They didn't choose Kisho Arima as she thought they would.
Su Xiao and the Priest looked at each other, and Su Xiao sighed. "A cunning man. He is truly a cunning man».
Su Xiao didn't want the Priest to be the leader of the group, so he could only choose between Kisho Arima and Takatsuki..
Kisho Arima's intentions were unknown to him, and he surprisingly voted for the Priest. Takatsuki Sen's intentions were known to him — she wanted revenge. Su Xiao's choice was obvious and he ended up voting for Takatsuki Sen.
But the Priest, a cunning man, did not reveal his purpose and voted for Takatsuki..
In the end, the leader of the group was Takatsuki Sen, the girl who was currently standing in a daze.
Since the group leader was chosen, they began to act.
Takatsuki Sen was the most familiar with the road, so she took the lead and started down first.
After that, Kisho Arima, the Priest, and so on, began to descend. Su Xiao was the last to descend.
The ghouls had kagune and could protect them from a surprise attack from behind, but he was a human and didn't want anyone following him.
The surface of the passageway was covered with green moss, and in places they just had to tilt their bodies so that they could slide down.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh...*
Apart from the sounds of sliding, there wasn't a single sound, but Su Xiao was holding a sword in his hands. If something unexpected happened, he would be able to use his sword immediately.
As they moved forward, the passage became more and more strange and they had to move at odd angles more and more often, but Takatsuki Sen held a flashlight in her hands and calmly moved forward.
— How much longer do we need? Kisho asked Arima.
— Five minutes at a fast pace, but after that about ten minutes will need to go slowly, because there will be a hole. If we don't stop in front of it, we'll fly straight into the center of the well and end up dead.
Su Xiao was surprised when he heard the conversation between the two. Their current speed wasn't slow, but oddly enough, they should have advanced to the point for at least another fifteen minutes.
The most important thing was that if they were too fast and couldn't stop, they would die...
They already felt like they were swimming against the current of a turbulent river, but there was a deep chasm at the end of it. The most terrifying thing about this river was that the flow of this river was gradually accelerating.
Eight minutes... ten... fifteen!..
— Let's stop, quickly! Takatsuki shouted..
— Hey Kisho Arima, you kicked me in the small of my back.
— Sorry, I couldn't open the kuinke in time.
Su Xiao just inserted his sword into the wall and stopped after sliding a few meters.
The priest and Arata Kirishima put away their kagune after the stop.
The priest had a ukaku type kagune and his kagune looked like a sharp cone.
Arata Kirishima was also a ghoul with a ukaku-type kagune, but his kagune was a bit strange. His kagune wrapped around Arata Kirishima's arm and formed two blue-black claws.
When Su Xiao saw Arata Kirishima's kagune, he frowned. He had killed many different ghouls, but he had never seen this type of kagune. His kagune made Su Xiao think of Nova. Except that the color of his kagune was slightly different, there wasn't much difference between Nova and his kagune.
— Takatsuki Sen, how much longer do we have?
A bright flashlight illuminated the end of the aisle...
— One hundred meters, we're on time.
They began to slowly move forward, and Takatsuki Sen was the first to reach the end of the passageway.
— Oh, this is really exciting, I'll jump first — " since Takatsuki Sen was first and Su Xiao was last, he couldn't see what was going on there.
After a heavy thud, Takatsuki Sen's voice rang out — " It's fine, everything looks exactly the same as before.
After a while, there was another thud...
— A crooked jump will definitely kill an unlucky jumper, " Arata Kirishima said, even though it wasn't him who jumped, but Kisho Arima.
Arata Kirishima jumped in after him, and the Priest stepped forward...
From Su Xiao's point of view, all he could see was Arata Kirishima jumping into the darkness, followed by a heavy thud.
After it was the Priest's turn, Su Xiao finally understood what they were talking about.
This passage led anyone who wished to enter the well, the bottom of which was still not visible. If any of them fell, they would definitely die.
There was an iron ladder on the wall that was directly opposite their passage. This iron ladder was fixed to the wall of the well and was about half a meter wide.
What the Priest had to do now was a simple jump that was a dozen meters long, if not more, and yet he would have to grab onto a ladder that was only half a meter wide.
One small mistake will lead to instant death!
The priest, who was always smiling, laughed. — Byakuya, can you show me how to do this?"?
— I'm afraid of heights.
If the Priest didn't jump on his own, Su Xiao would just push him down. He was standing right behind him anyway, so it would be very easy to do so.
— The priest took a deep breath and took a few steps to jump toward the stairs.
There was a heavy thud... The priest managed to grab onto the iron ladder on the opposite side of the wall.
Only Su Xiao remained. After taking a deep breath and looking down the bottomless well, he realized that if it was really a person with a fear of heights, then he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Su Xiao didn't know how to fly, so if he made a mistake, he would end up turning into a cake.
Taking a few steps back, he bent down slightly and touched the ground with his fingers, then abruptly rushed forward. He was only looking at the iron staircase.
While in the air, Su Xiao put out his hands and grabbed the iron ladder.
*A creak... CRACKLE!*
For a long time this iron ladder has become very fragile plus previous jumps have greatly weakened it.
The piece of ladder he had been grabbing flew off its fastenings and his body began to move away from the iron ladder.
