As he ran, he kept observing the screen, and the perspective on the screen kept shifting. At this mont, it had already reached the first-floor lobby, very close to where he had previously stood.
But just then, the screen started shaking, the image quality dropped, and it kept flickering, as if there was so interference.
Zhou Mingxiao kept running upstairs. This mall had 5 floors, so he still had a chance. Moreover, the ghost appeared using the elevator earlier, so Zhou Mingxiao purposely avoided the elevator rooms while escaping.
Fear was unavoidable. Even the calst person couldn’t face a fierce ghost’s pursuit without turning a hair; fear is an instinct of humans.
But after all, Zhou Mingxiao was an old player with rich experience. Although he was scared, he wasn’t thrown into confusion, unlike Chen Moting who died yesterday. He had this DV machine.
This DV machine could be seen as a radar detecting the ghost’s position, which gave him the courage to confront the ghost.
"It’s only been 13 minutes; now... now only 10 minutes are left. There’s still a good chance, as long as... as long as I can survive this ghost’s chase down, the task might conclude early!"
Zhou Mingxiao cheered himself on. After all, he was older, his legs were not as nimble as those of the young ones like Yang Xiao and Liu Yang, but his weapon was his intellect.
He noticed from the ghost’s tracking speed that its legs didn’t seem to work well, especially when turning or climbing stairs, which consud it a lot of ti. And ti was what he lacked the most right now.
Zhou Mingxiao ran to the 5th floor in one breath, panting like an ox, but the effect was obvious. The one chasing him had just reached the 3rd floor and was heading to the 4th floor.
"Good, just... just like this." Zhou Mingxiao glanced at the ti; there were still over 8 minutes left.
Out of curiosity, Zhou Mingxiao roughly guessed the ghost’s position based on the images in the lens and peeked in that direction, but he saw nothing. The escalator was empty.
Even though he saw nothing, he clearly felt a chill and lifeless aura. Zhou Mingxiao quickly withdrew his head, his heart pounding wildly.
He felt it. As he looked in that direction, sothing also spotted him.
That’s right. The ghost was in that direction, but he couldn’t see it!
Source Ghost!
It must be that Source Ghost!
No doubt!
Last night, he saw that Source Ghost from afar, even though only through the lens and for a brief mont. The impact and intimidation it brought were unprecedented, imdiately confirming for him that the creature chasing him now was the sa monster from last night!
"Run!"
"Move imdiately!"
Before the ghost reached the 4th floor, Zhou Mingxiao, who was on the 5th floor, changed his position again, this ti directly sprinting to the other side of the mall, intending to go downstairs from another direction to shake off the ghost.
His initial plan was to keep going up and down the stairs to buy ti.
The plan was perfect, but during implentation, he encountered troubles. Already breathless, Zhou Mingxiao found in horror that the ghost’s speed was increasing. Although not exaggerated, it was indeed accelerating.
This was terrifying because his stamina was limited, and as his energy depletes, his speed of movent would inevitably decrease. An increase for the ghost and a decrease for him ant the ghost’s speed was very close to his. If this continued, within one or two minutes, the ghost’s speed would surpass his.
But there were nearly 6 minutes left. This may not sound like a long ti, but Zhou Mingxiao knew it was enough for the ghost to catch up to him.
Things developed even more troubling than Zhou Mingxiao anticipated. With 5 minutes left on the countdown, the ghost’s speed had matched his and even vaguely exceeded it. The distance between them was gradually closing.
Although they still maintained a certain distance now, it wouldn’t be long before he was caught.
Only then did Zhou Mingxiao realize the horror of this ghost. No wonder... no wonder soone as cautious as Chen Moting died at its hands.
One would feel the threat when a ghost appeared nearby, even without this DV machine; he had realized this long ago.
So ti ago, he thought about this issue. If the ghost just followed leisurely, hunting its prey, then there was no reason for Chen Moting to die.
As long as you keep running, you wouldn’t be caught.
No wonder Chen Moting stopped running in the end and chose to find a place to hide because she knew she couldn’t outrun this ghost.
Instead of being caught up and killed, it was better to find a place to hide and take a gamble.
"I can’t run anymore; I must... must find a place to hide." Zhou Mingxiao could taste the blood in his throat; his stamina had reached its limit.
He was different from Chen Moting; he had this DV machine, which allowed him to track the ghost’s movents anyti. He could find a hiding place first and once the ghost moved toward him, he would imdiately switch locations.
During the chase, Zhou Mingxiao discovered another key point. The closer the ghost was to him, the blurrier the screen got. The ghost could interfere with this DV machine.
This effect was mutual. As long as the screen interference was severe, it ant that the ghost was very close, indicating it was ti to change hiding places.
This ant his choice of hiding place had to be very cautious. At least it needed to et two conditions. First, it should be small, with a complex terrain, as the ghost didn’t have good legs. Even now, its speed in turning and climbing stairs wasn’t very fast.
Secondly, and most importantly, there must be more than one exit, at least two, preferably three, otherwise, if he got blocked inside, he would be dood.
