"Professor... Professor?" Wang Ailin shook Mansis's body, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"He's dead, Wang Ailin," Chen Ke advised.
Mansis was Wang Ailin's mentor, who had taught her all he knew. Now, Mansis's inexplicable death in front of Wang Ailin was something she couldn't accept.
"How could he just... be dead...?" Wang Ailin muttered blankly.
"This is... fate," Chen Ke paused, not knowing what else to say.
At that moment, a gust of ash blew by, and Parker appeared behind Chen Ke. He glanced at Professor Mansis and murmured, "May the Holy Father bless..."
"Now is not the time for silence, everyone. Corridor 1 is the only way out for us, right?" Chen Ke looked at the two.
Parker nodded, while Wang Ailin clutched Mansis's hand and sobbed softly.
"Besides the containment item you mentioned, there's also a person down there... He might stop us, or he might not," Chen Ke said.
