Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 141 - I Am Offended

Following Han Minhyun, Lee Soohyun walked through one of the corridors in the mansion that she didn't even know existed. Soohyun was amazed, and her desire to explore the mansion intensified.

Her dilated pupils, bright eyes, and wide grin mirrored her excitement. As she followed behind Han Minhyun, she looked at both of her sides and tried to memorize them.

As Minhyun stopped in front of a door, Lee Soohyun c.o.c.ked her head in curiosity, and her eyebrows were raised. Both of her lips were partially opened whilst her gaze focused upon the door. Curiosity brewed within her to know what was behind door.

Inserting the key into the hole, Han Minhyun spun it, and as the door opened, Minhyun pushed the door opened. Darkness stretched in front of Soohyun, making her unable to see the things in front of her.

Stepping into the room, Han Minhyun clicked on the light. Dim light illuminated the entire place. A thin pathway was in between two walls, and small lights were placed on the ceiling.

Lee Soohyun followed after Han Minhyun. The door behind Soohyun closed all of a sudden, startling her, and Soohyun increased her wariness about her surroundings.

Pursing her lips together, Soohyun narrowed her eyes and lowered her eyebrows. She found her senses heightening as she stepped closer to Minhyun.

Her arms b.u.mped against his as they walked, and Soohyun gulped. The cold air flew against her, causing the hair on her body to rise. The enthusiasm was now mixed with fear. That can not be helped, in Soohyun's opinion, when there was too much creepy aura around this place.

"Scared already?" Minhyun questioned as his lips curved to a grin.

"Why ask when you can sense my emotions?" Soohyun retorted.

"I am offended," Minhyun expressed in an amused tone.

"Why? Because I am scared despite you being beside me?" Lee Soohyun arched her eyebrows.

Han Minhyun shook his head and replied, "No, it's because I am not the one you're scared of."

"Are you some teen who thinks acting nonchalant 

yet scary at the same time is cool?" Lee Soohyun asked.

"Do I look like a teen to you?" Minhyun questioned.

Stroking her chin, Soohyun said, "I am not so sure, but I think sometimes you're like a teen with a complex."

"So, you tried to seduce someone you think to be like a teen? Interesting," Minhyun voiced out.

"It's your body that attracted me— not your personality or mentality," Soohyun vocalised wuth a wide smile upon her face.

"Ah! So, you're one of those shallow people!" Minhyun vocalised.

Before Lee Soohyun would retort, a pungent smell hit her. Soohyun scrunched up her nose, and wrinkles appeared on her forehead. Showing disgust on her face, Soohyun looked around for its source.

"That's the scent of the rotting corpse," Minhyun voiced out.

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened, and as the smell intensified, Soohyun held her nose. The dark corridors ended, and Soohyun's eyes fell upon the scene in front of her.

As Han Minhyun stopped in front of her, Soohyun stood beside him and looked around the place. A long path was in front of her. Cells lied on both side of the path.

When Soohyun's eyes fell upon one of the cells, her eyes enlarged, and she took a step back. A body was chained to the wall whilst it's head stared down at the ground.

Blood stained the body's clothes red, and shackles were attached at the body's foot. Needles were driven through the body's arms and legs. Unable to see it any longer, Soohyun turned to look the other way. 

'No, Soohyun. You can't be frightened that easily. You have seen such things multiple times in the movies. This is just in real life, and there is not difference in real life.

Lee Soohyun took in a deep breath and stared at the direction of the cell again. Although her body trembled and her bottom lip quivered, Soohyun did not move her gaze. Whether or not she liked it, Lee Soohyun had to get used to it.

Lee Soohyun heart beat rapidly in her chest, and she could feel her body's temperature lowering. When Soohyun felt someone holding her palm and intertwine her fingers with his, Soohyun raised her head to look towards Minhyun. 

She was taken aback by his actions for she did not expect Minhyun to comfort her this way. Being mocked by him was more or less what she thought would come towards her.

Nonetheless, Soohyun tightened her grip against his palm, and looking at him, she smiled. Even if she was scared, she couldn't let it show on the surface or else she wouldn't be able to compose herself.

"Where is Hyunae?" Lee Soohyun questioned.

Silently, Han Minhyun continued walking whilst holding Soohyun's hand, and looking down at her held hand, a smile that went to her eyes formed on her face. Among this coldness, this was a great source of warmth.

The stench of dried blood hit Lee Soohyun, and as Soohyun stared around the place, she wondered on about how long they were not cleaned for. Some of the cells were too dark to look through whilst others mostly had chained people towards the wall.

As Lee Soohyun turned to look at one of the cells, she noticed the gruesome creature inside it. His face was deadly pale, and his hair appeared to messy.

Long fangs, dripping with saliva, was upon his dried lips, and noticing Lee Soohyun, his eyes widened. His pupil dilated, and bloodthirst appeared his eyes.

Letting out a growl, he jumped towards Soohyun, cussing Soohyun to let out a yelp and jump back. Soohyun's hand tightly gripped on to Minhyun's hand as she saw the creature— who very much resembled a Feral in her opinion— bare its fangs towards her.

The creature tried to come towards her. However, the chains held him back and prevented him from doing so. Soohyun let out a breath of relief at that.

"Creatures at this part can be frightening so don't look around and stare at the ground," Minhyun vocalised, and Soohyun nodded at that.
