'Never get out?'
The question immediately came to Adam's mind. Instead of instantly believing, he stared at the girl with a suspicious expression. The young man looked serious. Completely prepared for a surprise attack or something, but ...
Nothing happened at all!
"You're too alert."
Hearing Melly's words, Adam frowned. He scanned around and finally let out a long sigh of being unable to find anything but black space as far as the eye could see.
Whether tired or no longer caring, Adam sat on the floor. It did not matter at all whether the girl in front of him would attack or not. He was even more focused on recovering his energy as well as his body.
'Yes ... not so sick as before.'
Adam was somewhat relieved to see his left hand getting better. At first, he was afraid that his left hand could not be healed if it was too late or something. But the young man had apparently still underestimated the healing ability of his body.
'It seems that I have to eat more nutritious things to get well quickly. After all, the energy to heal oneself also comes from there.'
The brooding Adam was shocked when his body was suddenly shaken.
"Hey! Oye! Why are you ignoring me, Adam?"
"..."
Looking up, Adam saw the figure of Melly shaking her body with an angry expression.
Seeing the scenery that could be said to be beautiful and funny made Adam sigh long. If not for Melly being a ghost, perhaps she could be interested in the appearance of such an innocent girl. The young man suddenly thought of Bella who was at home.
"What's wrong?" ask Adam.
"..."
Looking at the flat expression on Adam's face, the corner of Melly's lips twitched. He did not expect that the young man had completely ignored him.
"You didn't hear what I said earlier, Adam?"
"Which one?"
"..."
Receiving that short reply, Melly was stunned for a moment. His breathing began to rise and fall before he finally sat down in front of Adam.
"Tell me. Now, what does the outside world look like?"
"..."
Adam who heard Melly's question looked to the right and left. Not finding any clues, he finally shook his head.
"You want to know?"
"Of course!" Melly nodded.
"So, the world now is ..."
Adam begins to explain to Melly that much has changed. Now many have cars, many multi-storey buildings, and many more.
Hearing Adam's story, Melly's eyes sparkled. It seemed that the girl imagined everything and was completely shocked by the changes that had occurred.
"Wow .. is what you say true, Adam?"
"Yes, that's it." Adam nodded lightly.
"It seems like decades have passed. The last time I heard a story, everything wasn't as sophisticated as you said."
Melly said with a longing expression.
"..."
Adam's expression suddenly changed when he heard Melly's words. The young man immediately knew that it was not only him who had fallen to this place. The question is ...
'Where are the people who fell?'
Adam stared at Melly with a serious expression.
"I know you're not a bad girl at all, Melly. So, can you say ... where is the way out?"
Melly who was initially daydreaming was surprised by Adam's question. The girl tilted her head then said flatly.
"I told you, I don't know, Adam."
"If you don't know, then where are those people going?"
"..."
Adam and Melly looked at each other.
"Where do you know that you're not the only one who came to this place, Adam?"
"You've been flabbergasted." Adam answered honestly. "So ... How do I get out of this place, Melly?"
"That's ..." Melly kept shaking her head. "I really don't know."
"I know you're lonely, but I have to go back. Many have been waiting for me to return.
My beloved, my friends, my students .. Many are now waiting for me."
"..."
Looking towards Adam who was filled with determination, Melly looked somewhat doubtful. At first she wanted to try to switch the conversation, but the girl was speechless as Adam continued to stare at her intensely.
In the end, Melly let out a long breath.
"I really don't know, but ..."
"But?" adam followed.
Hearing Melly's reply, Adam's eyes narrowed immediately.
Staring at Melly with a serious expression, Adam then asked.
"Where's the way out?"
"..."
Melly who saw Adam's determination could only display a bitter smile. He took a deep breath before asking.
"If I say, when you fail you will be tormented forever ...
Will you try to leave too?"
"I have to go!"
Melly who heard Adam's words smiled softly.
"I guessed it, you'd say that, Adam."
Melly could only take a long breath. Compared to the few trapped spirits before, he could see a strong determination in Adam's eyes.
The girl considered the previous spirits as cowards or fools. But somehow, he felt that the handsome man whose body was covered in wounds might have survived. Because ...
Not knowing why, Melly felt that Adam felt so familiar and familiar to her.
"So, answers?"
"Follow me."
Melly answered briefly with a smile on her face. He extended his hand towards Adam, and was shocked when he saw the young man without hesitation grabbing onto him straight away.
'This young man ...'
Melly thought as she stared at the stern expression on Adam's face.
***
Adam is startled by the room change when he grabs Melly's hand.
Not far from the two of them, a strange vortex appeared on the floor. The vortex stopped spinning when it showed a hole.
In the hole, there is a ladder that leads down. Heading to a dark place that Adam could not reach with his vision. One thing is certain ...
Adam smelled a familiar scent!
"This ..."
The young man nodded slowly.
"If you don't believe—"
"I believe this is the only way."
Adam immediately interrupted Melly who said in a somewhat worried tone. He also sensed that the girl's hand was also grasping her hand tighter.
"Then I'll drive you."
Adam nodded in response.
Melly joined hands with Adam and walked up the stairs. They then walked down together.
Nah! Nah! Nah!
The sound of shoes stepping on the stairs continued to be heard. For some reason, the stairs seemed to be very long because they did not reach the bottom at all even though they had been running for a long time.
"Hey, Adam?"
"Yes?"
"Why do you want to go back? It is possible that there, your body can no longer be saved. You're probably dead?"
"There are a lot of people waiting for me. How's yours?"
"Me?"
"Yes. Don't you want to get out of this place? Even though you are a spirit, isn't it better to go to the next realm than to be cooped up in this dark space?"
"..."
"Sorry, I don't want to bring it up. I'm just curious."
"Actually, I also want to go out and get fed up, but ..."
Nah! Nah! Nah!
Adam and Melly saw the red light below. The girl clasped Adam's hand.
The young man himself looked at Melly who had a complex expression on her face. He wanted to know the reason for the girl, but had absolutely no intention of forcing.
They both arrived and stopped at the last step of the stairs. There was a curtain of red light that led somewhere.
"You'll know the answer when you keep walking forward, Adam."
Hearing that, Adam releases Melly's hand. He was about to walk forward, but his steps came to a halt.
Looking up at Melly, Adam smiled.
"It's good to know you, Melly."
Just as he finished his words, Adam immediately stepped forward. Passing through a door, it looked like a red portal that would take him somewhere.
