S-RANK IN ANOTHER WORLD 169 Runners Began To Change

Endl began to realize that every corridor he pa.s.sed, things started to change, sometimes some bricks were out of place, other times some bricks were in a different color, sometimes there was something on the floor, there were many simple things that called for Endl's attention, after he realized this fact, kept paying more attention wherever he went.

After a long run through the corridors, he found a pattern, a pattern that may not make much sense, but that he came to realize.

Whenever the colors of the bricks changed, the corridor only had pa.s.sage to the right, when the bricks were out of place, the corridor only had pa.s.sage to the left, and when there was something on the floor, the corridor was always dead end.

This is a pattern that doesn't make any sense, so Endl got more and more confused by all of this, but he knows one thing, things were working out the same way. He tested it a few times to see if it was that way, and it was like that.

'But if things in the hall show where I should go, how am I going to know which pattern I should follow?' It was a very simple pattern, a pattern that may lead him to leave this place, but he has to find some pattern written in one so that he can follow it, just doing it randomly will not help at all.

There may even be a map for that place, and he needs to find it.

But he knows something, if there is a pattern, how will he follow it? If the runner only takes him to the right, won't he always follow the same path? A single corridor?

If he finds a corridor with the bricks out of place and he only takes it to the left side, and then in that next corridor it is just the changed bricks, he just goes to the right, right? If so, he'll just do that, he'll always follow the same corridor.

So if you think that way, a pattern doesn't make sense, he realized that he thought about these things for no reason, following a pattern in that place and even more a pattern like that, it wouldn't make sense.

'I'm going to run around and look for something just in case.' He decided to remember the way the corridors worked and went back to looking for the way out, it may be relevant sometime, but he doesn't seem to have to worry about it now.

Maybe he even found the way out before he had a chance to use it, he was hoping he could make it.

If he found the way out without meeting the priest, or had to worry about standards or the like, he would be very grateful to the G.o.ddess for that, the less work and less danger he went through, the better.

When Mary and Lily heard those words, the time around them stopped, it was as if their heart had also stopped beating at that moment, everything was silent and their mind stopped working, for a moment it seems that they disappeared from there, their minds went dark and they were unable to reason.

Until Mary regained her consciousness a little, and even with her voice trembling and having a hard time getting out, she said, "What did you just say?" She just wanted to confirm that she had heard it correctly.

Mary managed to say something, but Lily still couldn't move, she was paralyzed in the same place she was, she had even stopped breathing, seeing this, the receptionist decided to help her, because she was afraid she would pa.s.s out right there .

"Didn't you hear me? Endl is dead." Sylphe started to cry as before and screamed with all her strength. The scream was so loud that even the people who were downstairs in the guild looked up for the place where the sound came from.

But when they remembered the two girls who just came by, they know what's going on.

"You're lying, Endl couldn't die, tell me the truth, where is he?" Mary took Sylphe's shoulders in tears and began to rock her and scream with the same intensity.

Sylphe didn't know what else to say, so she just kept crying.

Mary before she realized she was also crying even though she didn't know it was true, she couldn't believe it had happened, she was desperate to know the truth, so she turned to the guild receptionist and was supporting Lily and asked.

"Is that true? Is he dead?" Lily asked the receptionist.

The receptionist was silent for a moment, but then she replied: "It's true." She didn't want to say that, but she had to say for Mary to accept all that, even if it takes time, she will at some point.

"Is not true." Even listening to the receptionist's words, Mary was not believing it, but even if she did not believe it, tears kept streaming down her face, until she couldn't stand it anymore and fell sitting on the floor while crying.

Lily wasn't crying, she was just looking at Mary, and she wasn't saying anything, it looks like she wasn't believing it yet, or she had gone into a state of shock.

Seeing this, the receptionist carried Lily to the sofa and placed her beside Sylphe, who was still crying.

And after a while, Lily, who was still unresponsive, started screaming and crying uncontrollably, she didn't even compare herself to Sylphe and Mary.

Mary was in no position to do anything, so the only one who could support Lily at that moment was Sylphe. She hugged Lily and cried with her, she did everything to try to hold her cry to support Lily, but she was unable to do that.

That night, the cry of the three girls resounded throughout the guild.

It was a cry with so much pain, that even the adventurers who were inside the guild had their hearts affected. Many of them knew Endl just by seeing him, but they know that Endl was a boy with, and that those girls loved him very much.

Even drunken adventurers can see that.

But even with that room full of tears, the receptionist was still there to support them, the words she heard most were.

"He's not dead."

"I will find him."

"I can't accept this."

It was words of denial that came from Mary's mouth all the time, because Lily couldn't even say anything, because she can't even sit still anymore.

But even after hearing it from the receptionist's mouth and crying so hard, the only one who still didn't believe in Endl's death was Mary, she knew that Endl was alive somewhere and he would show up at some point, if he doesn't show up , she will find you.

She just wanted to have Endl by her side again, and this time to never leave her side.

Endl kept running through the corridors while ignoring any pattern, he started to go through the corridors that he found most convenient to go, but it actually seemed convenient, but he didn't know exactly where those corridors would take him.

He was only thinking of going as far as possible from the priest, but now he is running aimlessly to try to find a way out, which will not be easy, since he doesn't even know exactly where he is.

"I wanted to at least have a map of this place, it must exist somewhere, it is not possible that the priest and the people who stay here, knew from the beginning how the structure of this place was." It was impossible for them to know that, it is humanly impossible.

Well, I don't know if everyone here is human, but I think that even if they are not human, it would work the same way.

It may be that they have lived here for many years and decorated each place, but even so, it is a very difficult thing to do, it is something I would not be able to do if I tried, that must be why I am stuck in this and this place and I don't even know where I am.

'I'm going to break these walls, I don't think it will be missed.' I was seriously thinking about starting to break these walls, following an always straight path, it's better than turning around without knowing where you're going, that's what I think.

But as Endl was afraid to affect the structure of the cave, he chose to stay in the corridors, he doesn't want to be buried again, or have to go through it all over again.

And this time he doesn't know if there is another cave below to save him, so it would be a stupid thing that would risk his own life.

"Let's look for a map." After so much running, he decided to somehow find a map, so he decided to go back and start looking inside all the rooms that he ignored.

'There must be something inside these rooms.' He was sure that there was something inside these rooms, even if it is not a map, there is something.
