This ghost had abandoned her twice.
Once could be a coincidence, but twice? Doesn’t this ghost pursue Hunters on its own?
Manjusaka did not stand still to ponder this; she was considering it while descending the stairs.
And each ti, I was the closest to it, but it chose to abandon and chase others...
There’s sothing wrong with this ghost. It must be controlled by Hunters!
Manjusaka was quick. She had run down several floors just now, so in no ti, she arrived at the bottom of the building.
She did not boldly stand at the entrance of the office building, nor did she leave directly. Instead, she found a slightly concealed corner nearby and hid there.
If the ghost is controlled by us Hunters, how is it controlled by us?
Frowning, Manjusaka squatted in the corner, lost in thought. Just then, she suddenly realized her phone had started vibrating at so point. Is that person calling ?
Wasn’t he being chased by the ghost? How did he get out of danger so quickly?
Was the call from... the ghost?
Manjusaka hesitated for a mont and then answered the call. If the call is from the ghost, I’ll hang up imdiately!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected, a flustered and exasperated voice ca from the other end, "Sis, I kindly found you to pass on a ssage soone else gave for you, so why did you set up?"
Pass on ssages?
Manjusaka was completely confused.
By this ti, Ji Bie Li had also climbed to the rooftop. From over thirty floors up, her view of the ground below was poor. But she wouldn’t have climbed so high without preparation.
After getting to the top, Ji Bie Li quickly took out a pair of glasses and put them on.
[Crew’s Glasses]
[Introduction: "Ti Escape" train workers received this award for their excellent service. Wear it and you beco the most outstanding mber of the crew.]
[Function: Greatly enhances vision upon wearing, allowing one to see small details a hundred ters away.]
[Aftereffect: Due to the excessive detail, extended use may cause dizziness. Use with caution.]
Streetlights still sparsely illuminated the city. After putting on the glasses, she could see clearly nearby with the help of the lights.
And as soon as Ji Bie Li put on her glasses, she saw Manjusaka below, crouched down and furtively talking on the phone.
I’ve never seen this person... She must be the Hunter who was secretly following earlier.
Ji Bie Li squinted in Manjusaka’s direction, looking like she was plotting sothing.
Is she contacting the Ti Escape mber she’s paired with?
Seeing this, Ji Bie Li suddenly rembered the Hunter she was paired with. While scrutinizing the person below, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
The Hunter paired with is clever. He might have found sothing by now. It would be better to exchange information. I should also tell the Hunter’s Faction about the ghost’s ability to teleport...
But this instance is really unfair to the Ti Escape mbers. It seems like the Hunters are in absolutely no danger. Why would there be an instance favoring one side of players completely?
The call hadn’t been answered yet. Ji Bie Li continued to scrutinize the person below, mumbling to herself.
The players in this instance are divided into two groups; it’s similar to the group versus group instances I’ve participated in before. Players divided into groups were supposed to fight to the death, where one group’s victory ant the others’ defeat. But this instance doesn’t seem to be like that. The phones, which allow both factions to communicate, even seem to be teaching the players the concept of ’mutual benefit.’
But is that really so? Is this instance really trying to let both groups of players win together?
Ji Bie Li clenched her hand. Whether it’s mutual benefit or mutual destruction between the two groups, I absolutely will not be part of the losing group.
Just then, Gu Mian suddenly answered the call. He had picked up hastily and overheard the last part of what Ji Bie Li was saying.
Puzzled, Gu Mian asked, "What did you say?"
By now, he had already left the amusent park.
It was worth ntioning that so amusent park facilities still had power; Gu Mian imdiately noticed the Ferris Wheel slowly rotating.
And just beneath the Ferris Wheel, a stream of water quietly flowed.
If one sat in one of the cabins of this Ferris Wheel, they would be able to hear the gentle sound of the water flowing as the cabin descended to its lowest point. At other tis, all one could hear was the whooshing sound of the breeze.
Therefore, when Bai Qiong made that call, the person on the other end must have been in one of those cabins! There must be so clue in that cabin.
While calculating the ti it took for the Ferris Wheel to make one full rotation, Gu Mian was also searching for the cabin from which the call had been made.
He was thorough, searching every cabin that passed the ground level.
Unfortunately, there was nothing inside.
Perhaps Bai Qiong and Keke have already found this place and taken the clues... That would be best.
At this point, Ji Bie Li’s voice ca through the phone, "I just discovered that the ghost seems to be able to teleport..."
Gu Mian had figured that out long ago. But he refrained from uttering a sarcastic comnt like, You’re so slow, you’ve only just figured that out? and instead just nodded, murmuring, "I see."
Ji Bie Li seed rather curious as to why he wasn’t surprised at all.
A sowhat strange tone ca from the phone, "Aren’t you surprised?"
"Ah, I’m extrely surprised," Gu Mian said dismissively.
Ji Bie Li was speechless. Looks like this person must have known long ago.
She took a deep breath and then continued, "Earlier, I heard the ghost chasing two people. It abandoned the Hunter again to chase Ti Escape mbers."
"You needn’t be so alard," Gu Mian said. "I suspect this ghost can’t actually harm Ti Escape mbers or Hunters for now. It possesses such a terrifying ability to teleport, yet so far, it seems no one has died. At least, not yet..."
But just as Gu Mian was speaking, Ji Bie Li, on the rooftop, suddenly heard an unusual noise. It sounded like a door being pushed open nearby.
A shiver ran down her spine, and she imdiately hung up the phone, listening carefully to the sounds from outside.
That sound seed to be coming from downstairs, very close to her!
What’s going on? Are there other players in this building... or has the ghost returned? Wasn’t it pursuing another Ti Escape mber just now?
At this mont, Ji Bie Li noticed that the woman downstairs suddenly stood up. She was still on the phone, but her expression had abruptly beco serious.
Just then, another sound of a door being pushed open echoed.
Ji Bie Li diligently observed the expression of the person below. Each ti the sound of a door opening was heard, the person below’s expression beca even more complex and inscrutable.
It seems the Hunter can also hear this terrifying sound of doors opening... and through her phone. It looks like the person she’s talking to is the Ti Escape mber who was just being chased by the ghost.
At this thought, an idea suddenly flashed through Ji Bie Li’s mind. Disregarding the risk of being discovered, she pressed herself against the edge of the building, carefully observing the expression of the person below.
Ji Bie Li had to confirm if the ghost truly wouldn’t harm Ti Escape mbers, as that Doctor had claid.
But the outco disappointed her.
Not long after, a scream echoed from the lower floors.
Ji Bie Li gripped the edge of the rooftop, paying no attention to the scream. Instead, she kept her eyes glued on the person below.
The woman below looked extrely anxious. Her call seed to have been disconnected. She redialed multiple tis, but it appeared no one was answering.
There was no one left on the other side to answer the phone... Seeing this, Ji Bie Li’s legs suddenly gave out, and she knelt on the rooftop.
The Doctor was wrong. The ghost... will kill Ti Escape mbers! From the looks of it, only the Hunters are absolutely safe!
After the scream, silence fell downstairs. Then, for so unknown reason, the woman below rushed back into the building.
Manjusaka flew through the stairwell.
"As long as the Hunters can capture the ghost, everyone in this instance will be safe!" – This was what the Ti Escape mber she had been talking to had told her before he died.
