Chapter 178 One

Chapter 178 One

Yuan Jie held his breath. At this moment, he was lying under a fruit stall.

He did not follow everyone upstairs, but chose to go down the escalator and hide on the basement floor.

This place specializes in selling vegetables and snacks.

Unlike others, Yuan Jie is very familiar with the structure of this department store. If we talk about clutter, this floor is undoubtedly the most cluttered place.

The more cluttered the place, the easier it is to hide.

Yuan Jie also cleverly placed a small mirror in the corner of the ground where he was lying.

This small mirror is facing the escalator sideways, so as long as someone comes down, he can immediately see who the other person is.

The sudden sound of music just now really scared him, but after cursing a few times, he calmed down.

Something must have happened to someone... He turned on the music to cover up the sound. Is Zhou Li so powerful? It only took about ten minutes to force that person to this point.

No...it doesn't necessarily have to be Zhou Li.

The rotten ghost face that Yuan Jie saw through the telescope emerged in his mind. This was one of the main reasons why he was unwilling to rush upstairs with everyone.

He was frightened by the ghost face.

If... the music that suddenly appeared just now was not to stop Zhou Li, but to interfere with the evil ghost.

That at least proves that the terrifying evil spirit does not have the ability to sense everyone's exact location.

This made Yuan Jie breathe a sigh of relief. With this restriction, the psychological pressure of hiding would be much less.

After all, the Crescent Department Store is so big and so dark, it is definitely not easy to find someone who is hiding on purpose.

In that case... then find an extremely hidden place to hide where ghosts cannot sense your location. As long as the hiding place is hidden enough, there is a high probability that you will survive!

If you wander around the building, you might run into Zhou Li or that evil ghost.

Yuan Jie licked his lips; his nervousness made his mouth dry.

The fact that he has survived so many crises is enough to prove that he is not a stupid person.

What Yuan Jie is best at is examining himself.

He never thinks that an idea of ​​his is absolutely correct, like now.

He was just thinking about finding a secluded place to hide until the end, but in a flash, he denied the idea.

Wu Ji's many experiences have told him that always staying in one place is a typical way to die.

It is best to change locations every twenty minutes or so.

Yuan Jie thought about it carefully. The difficulty of this mission was not that great actually. An inexplicable bell appeared on Zhou Li's feet. This was undoubtedly a huge hint. As long as he approached, the people in hiding would be able to hear the sound. Is there any bigger way out than this?
"call……"

Yuan Jie exhaled a breath and looked at the time. Now... twenty minutes have passed since the game started.

But neither Zhou Li nor the evil ghost appeared on the underground floor.

In this case, do I need to change my hiding place?

Yuan Jie was a little hesitant.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Yuan Jie was so frightened that he shuddered. He quickly took out his mobile phone. He had adjusted the screen brightness to the lowest level, but he could still clearly see the reason why the phone was vibrating.

It was a call from Yang Muwan!
Yang Muwan...

A gentle and pretty face appeared in Yuan Jie's mind. This was not the first time he had carried out a mission with Yang Muwan. He knew very well that although Yang Muwan looked weak, she was actually a trustworthy person and she was very quick-witted.

Although this word sounds ordinary, it is of vital importance in the fog collection.

Most people will panic when faced with an emergency, but Yang Muwan will most likely be able to come up with a quick solution as long as the situation is not hopeless.

At least... it's quiet around now, so it might be a good idea to hear why she called. Yuan Jie pressed the answer button.

As soon as the call was connected, he heard Yang Muwan's hurried and flustered voice: "Yuan Jie! Zhou Li is missing, and now it's the ghost that's looking for us! You must hide well and don't let it find you!"

what? !

"Where are you? Have you seen it?" Yuan Jie just opened his mouth when he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. His heart skipped a beat and he cried out, "Oh no!"

Yuan Jie suddenly turned off his phone.

wrong!

There is a problem, Yang Muwan has a problem!

Although it sounded like she was giving him information and asking him to be careful.

But after coming to his senses, Yuan Jie thought carefully and realized that what Yang Muwan said was all nonsense! It had no effect at all!

Is this kind of information, which has no value at all, worth her calling to inform me?
Or maybe, the relationship between Yuan Jie and Yang Muwan has become so good?
Yuan Jie got goose bumps all over his body.

He was almost certain that the person who had just called him was a ghost!
The purpose of its call was obvious. It was confirming! It was confirming its location!

Can't stay here any longer!

Definitely can’t stay any longer!

Yuan Jie was just about to crawl out from under the fruit stall when his pupils suddenly shrank!
He put himself in the mirror in front of him and finally saw other things reflected.

Under the dim LED lights at the escalator, a pair of bare, rotting feet appeared.

On one of its feet, there was a bell tied...

Yuan Jie's scalp went numb and he suppressed his fear and shrank back to the bottom of the stall.

Don't come over... please... please don't come over...

Yuan Jie felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Now the distance between him and the ghost was only about ten meters!

He didn't dare look in the mirror again, for he was afraid that if he looked, the feet in the mirror would disappear and then reappear in front of him.

He closed his eyes like an ostrich and huddled under the stall.

But he couldn't help wondering, what if it found him?
What if he opened his eyes and saw a rotting face?
No...that won't happen. The LED lights on the underground first floor are fewer and much dimmer than those on the floors above. Maybe the ghost can't see very clearly?

All kinds of thoughts popped up in his mind wildly, and Yuan Jie felt like he was going crazy.

Time passed by little by little, and Yuan Jie's fear became more and more intense.

Why is there no movement yet?
Where's the ringtone?
Could it be...that it has already left?
Just as a glimmer of hope surged into his heart, Yuan Jie heard a voice.

"jingle--"

The feeling of suffocation quickly rose up his throat, and with it came an unbearable urge to vomit.

This was a manifestation of extreme fear. His heart was beating violently and uncontrollably. Yuan Jie's closed eyes were already full of bloodshot.

I won't die here, no...

left already!

Yuan Jie shouted in his heart, then suddenly opened his eyes!
Gone! Really gone!
The feet in the mirror have left!
"Ha ha!"

Boundless joy surged in my heart. Could this help me escape death?

Yuan Jie was just about to crawl out and move to another place when he suddenly discovered that the ground in front of him seemed to be darker?
Yuan Jie tiptoed out of the fruit stall, and just as he raised his head, he was so frightened by a strong fear that his heart suddenly stopped.

Above his head... a rotten ghost face was looking down at him condescendingly.

"Got you."
