Chapter 175 Beginning

Chapter 175 Begins

"Bai Yanliang!"

Just before entering the door, Yu Sheng's voice stopped Bai Yanliang.

He turned his head and looked at her.

Is her frown showing worry?
There was no expression on Bai Yanliang's face, he just nodded slightly.

Although he didn't smile at her warmly as usual, Yu Sheng actually felt that this expressionless him seemed more real...

On the other side, in a dark corner outside the crowd, a woman with a pale face was watching from afar.

Bai Yanliang seemed to sense something and glanced over there. The woman shrank and hid in the darkness.

Didn’t Xu Zhifei come?

Bai Yanliang retracted his gaze. He should have been the fourth person to enter the building, but because of this momentary delay, he became the last one to enter the building.

……

Six people stood at the door, no one spoke.

Because as soon as they entered the door, everyone felt a faint chill.

At this moment, the time on the phone suddenly jumped.

From 23:59, it became 00:00.

A strong sense of distortion and weirdness came over them, and the six people more or less felt a strange chill of being watched.

"What's this?!"

Zhou Li lowered his voice and spoke with some fear.

Through the dim energy-saving light on the ceiling, everyone saw what was on Zhou Li's feet.

At this moment, a bell appeared on his left ankle!
Song Que suddenly chuckled: "Hey, it seems that it recognized our drawing of lots. This thing should be the proof of the 'ghost'."

When Zhou Li was about to say something, he suddenly found that he couldn't move!
The body was extremely stiff, and something strange happened again!
In the air in front of Zhou Li, a pair of blood-red words that could only be seen in the fog appeared - Pick one!

Then, this strange, heart-pounding word jumped and turned into - Jiu.

Song Que and Bai Yanliang suddenly ran away. When others saw their actions, they suddenly understood what this meant.

This is the countdown to the start of the game!
In the blink of an eye, the five people quickly disappeared in the dim light.

And the words in front of Zhou Li kept jumping.

"Qi."

"land."

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"two."

"one."

When the bloody word "一" shattered in front of Zhou Li, he relaxed and was able to move...

The game begins!

Although he had experienced many strange events, this time was undoubtedly the most frightening one for Zhou Li. An isolated building, five hiding companions, and a... rotten ghost that Yuan Jie saw.

What should I do if... I accidentally find that ghost?
Zhou Li felt a little scalp-tingling. He swallowed and decided not to waste any more time. No matter what, he had to find at least one person!

He didn't want to know what the punishment for the loser of the game was...

……

At this moment, Bai Yanliang and the other four were running at their fastest speed and with the least noise in the dim environment.

No one dared to fall behind, and no one dared to run too fast and make too much noise. After all... there was a rotting ghost in the building. It was unknown what the consequences would be if Zhou Li found them, but everyone knew the consequences of being found by a fierce ghost.

Bai Yanliang and Song Que were the first to react.

At this moment, the person running the fastest was Song Que.

Bai Yanliang was in good physical condition, but the dim environment hindered him. Bai Yanliang didn't dare to run too fast, as he was worried about bumping into something and making a noise.

But Song Que seemed to have no such concerns at all. He rushed up the stairs at an extremely fast speed. The dim environment did not affect him at all, just like... he could see in the dark.

Although strictly speaking, this department store is not completely dark, there are dim LED energy-saving lamps on the ceiling of each floor, but that level of light can only illuminate a distance of two or three meters nearby. There are also many dark corners on the huge floor with no light at all.

The path that Song Que was running on was exactly the kind of place where there was no light at all.

Bai Yanliang couldn't help but sigh that there really are people with extraordinary talents in this world.

What he didn't know was that Song Que's heartstrings were tightened by his shock.

Song Que had always suspected that Bai Yanliang was a ghost, so when he realized that the bloody words were the countdown to the start of the game, he ran away! But what he didn't expect was that Bai Yanliang actually followed him closely.

This made Song Que, who was usually calm, breathe a little disordered. He became ruthless and no longer concealed the abnormality in his eyes. He picked the shortest and fastest path in the darkness and left Bai Yanliang behind.

Soon, Bai Yanliang disappeared from sight. Similarly, Qi Nian, Yuan Jie, and Yang Muwan, who were a beat slower to react, could not find any trace of Bai Yanliang at all.

Song Que ran all the way to the fifth floor, which was also the top floor of the department store. The entire floor was a movie theater.

Although he climbed five floors in a row, Song Que's steps were not disordered at all, and even his breathing was very light. His physical fitness was already excellent, and after entering Wu Ji, he intensified his physical training in order to gain more chances of survival at the moment of life and death.

But now Song Que didn't dare to relax at all.

Where can I hide so that Zhou Li won’t find me?
No... there is also a rotten evil ghost.

No...there is also Bai Yanliang.

Song Que supplemented his thoughts again and again, and he kept looking around.

There are many rooms on the fifth floor, and each one is a screening room, but it is definitely not a good place to hide.

The more messy the place is, the easier it is to hide, but the furnishings in the screening room are too neat, making it difficult to hide people.

Unless... he could find a separate space like a cubicle.

This kind of place is very hidden, but Song Que also knows that hiding in a closed space is a bad idea.

After all, once his hiding place was found, he wouldn't be able to escape.

This building is so big that there are many ways to go around. He would never lock himself in a dead end unless it is absolutely necessary.

Moreover, Song Que was certain that the rotten ghost that Yuan Jie saw definitely possessed strange abilities.

Maybe it can sense where they are hiding?

Maybe it's the ability to walk freely on walls and ceilings.

All in all, there are many factors to consider when choosing the best hiding place.

While thinking, Song Que stepped into a screening room.

The stairs in the screening room were uneven and quite difficult to walk on in the dark, but this was not a problem for Song Que.

Because he can see.

Zhou Li didn't come up so quickly. He had a bell tied to his ankle, and the sound could alert anyone hiding.

What's more, this is the fifth floor. If you search from bottom to top, you will eventually reach this floor.

This is also the reason why Song Que chose the fifth floor.

However... at this time.

A faint sound of footsteps suddenly sounded on the fifth floor stairs.

"Ta...tat..."

Song Que's scalp tingled. There was no bell sound. It was not Zhou Li!
