Chapter 3735 The Monsters In The Passageway

After Dorothy stepped into the door, the smell of sweet rust filled her nose, even before her eyes adjusted to the darkness.

Frowning, she felt a sense of confusion.

"How come I can smell at all?" she pondered aloud.

She was just a Soul of Light which didn't have a sense of smell...

But to her surprise, when she looked herself up and down, she seemed no longer an ordinary Soul of Light.

Her soul body was filled with red threads which glowed like a lustrous ruby.

These red threads formed veins on her neck, arms, and legs, and even formed outlines of her internal organs, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

"What... happened to me?"

Dorothy took a few steps back in fear, instinctively bolting back to the door.

However, at the thought of her grandmother, the fear in her heart dissolved like snow in the summer.

No matter what kind of fate was waiting for her, she was willing to accept it.

If Dorothy had been to the Soul City, she would have found that everything that was happening to her Soul of Light was very similar to stepping into the Holy Soul Realm.

The only difference was that she didn't need to enter the soul cloud; she only had to step through the door.

Since her soul now had gained the five senses, she became more sensitive to the illusions around her. She could even see the dark passageway before her quite clearly.

"Are these...prisons?" She frowned.

On both sides of the passageway, countless rooms separated by menacing fences lined the path.

The fences closest to the door were all broken. It seemed that someone or something had escaped the prison.

Dorothy continued to move forward cautiously along the passageway, her gaze constantly sweeping across the rooms on both sides. She needed to be vigilant now.

"All of them are empty...

Have all the things locked in them run away?

But I have seen those monsters before."

In her eyes, those monsters represented fear.

When she was young, she often woke up screaming from nightmares of these monsters...

Yet, at the same time, these monsters also represented strength.

She needed strength. She knew she was only going to get it through these monsters. Clenching her fist, she knew she wanted to face them.

As she kept walking, she passed by more and more empty cages. She coul

dignation. "This is not what we agreed on. You should have saved us!"

The monster was extremely powerful. With a simple flick of its wrist, it could squeeze Dorothy to death.

She felt as though she were a fragile porcelain doll in its hand.

"Awoo... Awoo..."

The voice of the monsters on both sides of the passageway gradually sounded the same.

"Do you hear them?" The monster's grating voice continued. "They said if you couldn't do it, they would kill you... They have been in despair for too long. They don't care about killing off their last bit of hope!"

Dorothy trembled. She knew that this was not only a threat, but a bared truth.

She had grown up blissfully, with a rather uneventful childhood. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that this whole time, these monsters had been hoping for her to come.

Even as she stepped through that door, she had known nothing about it.

She sympathized with them. Desperately, she too wished she knew how to lift the curse.

"Hoo... Hoo..."

Just as everyone was clamoring, they suddenly heard a sharp voice from the depths of the darkness.

The master of the voice seemed to be very authoritative. The instant it spoke, the passageway instantly grew silent.

Biting her lips, Dorothy muttered apologetically, "I really don't know..."

"Purr... Hoo..."

the voice in the distance continued grunting.

The monster that held Dorothy in its hand listened for a while before dropping her onto the ground. Its tone slightly softened. "Follow me..."
