Strange Shadow

Amidst the pitch-black passageway, Maria ran at high speed, with her feet connecting into a series of afterimages. Her speed had reached a great extreme.

Beside her, there were three young men covered in blood. Their eyes filled with terror as they ran for their lives behind Maria. It was like there was some great ferocious beast chasing them.

"What should we do?!" One of the young men with black hair and eyes cried out, "He's going to catch up."

"Damn it. How do we get out of here?" Another green-haired young man said with a crumbling expression.

Just then, the last young man with golden hair suddenly stopped running and started panting furiously.

Maria and the others also stopped and shouted, "Are you crazy?! Why aren't you running?"
