Chapter 181 Surprise
Chapter 181: Shock

Bai Yanliang put away his phone.

Realizing that the safety period of the control room was about to expire, he just left the fifth floor and was about to go to the underground first floor, but he saw Qi Nian being chased by a vicious ghost on the third floor.

She was lucky that the evil spirit was some distance away from her, giving her space to escape, otherwise Bai Yanliang would be powerless.

He hid in the dark and quickly sent her a text message. Whether she believed it or not was up to her.

After doing all this, Bai Yan slipped down to the basement floor with a clear conscience.

There are less than twenty minutes left until the end of the hour, and this evil spirit has just come up from the bottom floor. The safest place now is the underground first floor.

"Good luck."

Bai Yanliang looked up at the top floor and whispered.

……

The fact that there was a slide through the building on the fourth floor undoubtedly made Qi Nian overjoyed.

However, she did not dare to relax.

She came out of the slide and immediately continued to run.

She wants to go to the basement floor!
Although Qi Nian was also very scared, her brain remained clear enough. When she was on the first floor, she saw with her own eyes that the evil ghost came up from the basement floor. This was enough to prove that the basement floor had just been searched by it and should be very safe now.

I have to say that Qi Nian’s idea is correct.

Unfortunately, reality was not so smooth. Before she could leave the second floor, she immediately heard a rustling sound coming from the slide pipe.

Qi Nian's eyes suddenly widened, it found it!

It actually caught up with me!
No, it’s too late to escape to the B1 floor now!

The sound of footsteps cannot be covered up, it will chase after you again, and you will fall into a vicious circle again!

You have to hide... and you can only hide on the second floor.

Qi Nian was desperately thinking about a safe location, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

That place is...the air vent!
This place is ok!

Qi Nian crawled into the vent in the corner without hesitation. The hole was extremely narrow, and only petite women like her and Yang Muwan could barely get in.

This is definitely a great place!

Judging from the size of the evil ghost's lower body that she had just seen, even if the ghost knew she was inside, it would not be able to get in!

Surviving a disaster always makes people feel tired and relaxed, but Qi Nian insisted on crawling deeper into the ventilation duct.

Because the ventilation duct was too dark, Qi Nian took out his cell phone and brightened the screen light to use it for lighting.

At the same time, Qi Nian glanced at the time.

00:46
There are fourteen minutes left before the agreed time to exchange the "ghosts".

What will happen then?
Will this ghost disappear?
Nothing is known.

Qi Nian just wanted to survive at this moment.

At this moment, she, who had been crawling deeper into the ventilation duct, suddenly stopped.

"Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling--"

The continuous sound came from behind!
It actually managed to get in!
Qi Nian’s face was pale, almost in despair!
The pipe was so narrow that she couldn't even turn around, so she could only crawl forward desperately!

Fortunately, the continuous ringing of the bells behind her was not too fast, so she still had a chance!
Qi Nian crawled forward desperately. The inside of the pipe was damp and dirty, with spider webs condensed in it, and there was an unpleasant smell. Soon, Qi Nian was covered in filth. Her hair was also covered with spider webs, and there were even small spiders crawling all over her face and body.

But Qi Nian didn't dare to stop for a moment. At this moment, she had only two thoughts in her mind. One was to crawl to the other exit of the ventilation duct and escape quickly.

The second is to persist for ten minutes and persist until the end of an hour!
Either of these two requires her to constantly exert her physical strength.

However, what made Qi Nian despair was.

Not only did she fail to find the exit, but the ventilation duct also showed a tendency to shrink. It was already very small, and if it continued to shrink... she wouldn't be able to move forward even half a step!

By then, you will be stuck in the ventilation duct, unable to move, and will become a lamb to be slaughtered!

As a last resort, she turned her body sideways and crawled forward bit by bit.

The arms and flesh were constantly compressed by the narrow tube walls, and every movement was painful.

What was even more frightening was the steady ringing of the bell behind him...

"Dingling--dinging--"

Although it was not fast, every time Qi Nian thought that there was a terrifying evil spirit in this ventilation duct besides herself, her scalp would tingle.

Qi Nian bit her lips tightly. Although her heart was beating extremely violently because of fear, she did not give up!

She kept moving forward, and every inch she moved gave her a little more vitality.

at last!

Maybe there is always a way out!

At this time, the pipeline in front of Qi Nian actually split into... three branches!
Qi Nian was happy at first, then stunned.

Three...

Which one leads to the exit?
She, who is usually calm, is a little confused at this moment. This is a decision concerning life and death!
The ringing of the bell behind her was like a deadly ghost voice, constantly beating on her heart.

"Calm down... Calm down..."

"Thinking carefully about the structure of this building... I came in from the vent at the southwest corner of the second floor. According to the normal design, another vent would most likely be set up directly opposite the southwest corner... the northeast corner."

"Of these three forks, the one that heads northeast is... this one!"

Qi Nian turned his head to look at the fork in the road on the far right, without any hesitation, he immediately went in!
Suddenly, she stopped and turned on her cell phone.

The existence of this fork in the road also has another function, which is to confuse evil spirits!
Qi Nian roughly estimated the ghost's movement speed, set an alarm to ring in thirty seconds, and then threw the phone into the leftmost ventilation duct!

If the evil spirit can be attracted to another fork in the road by the sudden ringing of the bell, his chances of survival will be greatly increased!
You must... succeed!
Qi Nian took a deep breath and continued to move forward slowly.

……

00:57
Only three minutes left.

Bai Yanliang hid under a fruit stall on the underground first floor, looking at the time on his mobile phone.

Then he put away his phone and looked at the miserable corpse beside him.

Yuan Jie is dead.

His eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, and his face was ashen.

His lower body was wet and smelled fishy.

He was frightened to death.

In less than an hour, one person had died, which meant that the time that everyone else had spent as a "ghost" during the original six hours had been extended in disguise.

This is just Bai Yanliang's more optimistic guess.

If Yuan Jie's time was distributed among other people's time as "ghosts", that would be a very good situation.

What Bai Yanliang is worried about is that the blank time after Yuan Jie's death will be filled by a real evil spirit...

We must find the hidden way out of this mission as soon as possible...

"Hide and seek..."

Bai Yanliang sat beside the dead Yuan Jie and frowned slightly.
