Chapter 67

But when the skeleton just wants to lower his sword to cut off Suzu's head. The dog standing on the back of Suzu Kurtz does not pay attention and Suzu can roll away to the side.

Then the skeleton hits the ground and a small cloud of smoke appears. The dog and the skeleton look at each other and then turn left.

Suzu has rolled away to the left side. Without wasting much time, the dog attacks Suzu again. Suzu cannot block the attack.

Suzu is pushed against the cave wall, the cave wall breaks behind him and he falls into a dark room. The dog does not jump after Suzu but watches him disappear into the darkness.

The dog looks at the skeleton and they both crumble to dust. The hole in the wall opens up again, and now it is as if there had never been a fight in this cave.

Suzu lands on a damp floor get up and feel his way through the room he landed in. Suzu runs onto a pressure plate on the floor. In the middle of the room, a trap door opens and a fire bowl comes out.

A green flame burns in the fire bowl. When the fire bowl comes out of the trap door, a secret passage opens in one of the walls. In the secret passageway, on both sides of the wall, torches are lit.

Suzu walks slowly through the secret passage, and after a while, he reaches a bridge.

Under the bridge is a very deep gorge. The bridge shakes very strongly when Suzu takes his first step onto the bridge. Suzu immediately jumps down from the bridge. Suzu then slowly walks next to the bridge and looks down the gorge.

In the slit it is dark Suzu can only see two red glowing dots. In the middle of the dots, a smaller orange dot appears. Suzu feels a shiver run down her spine.

Suzu can't look away, it's as if he's being held by someone. Suzu can't move, it doesn't take long before the dots disappear and Suzu can move again.

Suzu is now standing in front of the bridge again. "If I want to go further, I have to cross this bridge...I think."

Suzu hesitates for a moment, but then he slowly walks onto the bridge, Suzu moves across it piece by piece. The wooden planks that make up the bridge are very grainy and very old.

Suzu walks further and further along the bridge until he reaches the middle of the bridge. A very strong wind comes out of the gorge. The bridge rocks back and forth, and Suzu must hold on to the bridge or he would fall.

After about two minutes the wind stops and Suzu can continue along the bridge. Just before he reaches the other side, the bridge slowly begins to unravel. Suzu starts walking faster.

The bridge dissolves almost completely, only the part that Suzu needs to get to the other side. Has not yet dissolved. Suzu is now less than ten meters from the other side. Suzu starts to run because the bridge is dissolving faster than it started.

Suzu jumps off and just manages to hold on to the edge before falling into the gorge. He pulls himself up with all his might. He climbs over the ledge and then lies down on his back.

Suzu puts his arms and legs away from him and laughs. "Puuhhh...That was close, I almost didn't make it. What a job it must have been to program that. Suzu stays on the floor for quite a while.

Suzu falls asleep on the floor and dreams about Mai. Mai is sitting in front of the cave and a large shadow slowly appears behind her. Mai turns around and is frightened. Shortly after, Mai is swallowed up by the shadow and Suzu wakes up again.

Suzu is drenched in sweat when he wakes up, "What kind of dream was that? Suzu gets up and shakes himself like a dog. Then he looks around. He sees a strange-looking stone. The stone is shaped like a cat.

Suz walks to the stone that looks like a cat and puts his hand on its head. The head sinks about a centimeter. Suzu hears gears start to move. A small window opens above the cat. Suzu looks in and sees.

In the small window is a candle." What am I supposed to do with a candle?" Suzu tries to get the candle out. He can't move it a millimeter. No matter how much force he uses.

After a while, he gives up and thinks about what else he can do." Now I have it. Maybe I have to light the candles. Shoot, I don't have one. After Suzu says that. As if by magic, a lighter appears in his hand.

Suzu is startled and then shouts. " many thanks to whoever." Then Suzu tinder the candle. "What do I have to do now wait?" Suzu sits down on the floor and waits for the candle to burn down.

Bear after it has burned down Suzu stands up with anticipation and looks into the small window. There is no candle there now, but a small switch. Suzu pulls the switch. Where Suzu was just sitting on the floor, there is a flap on the floor. Under the flap is a staircase. Suzu looks down the stairs and sees light at the end.

Suzu runs down the stairs and at the end, he gets to a room where there is a tree. "What a tree...what are you doing down here so low?"

Suzu walks once around the tree and then sits down on the ground and leans against the tree. "What am I going to do now? There's a tree here, and there's no way back up there. Suzu looks around and sees a small light flying towards him.
