Half an hour ago, in the office on the 17th floor of Rongjin Building, Liu Yang and Shu Shuang were hiding together. He chose a hiding spot in the northwest corner of the office.
The two were hiding under separate desks, very close to each other, but the difference was that Liu Yang’s hiding spot had a better view, allowing him to see the door and the corridor.
Shu Shuang’s hiding place was also chosen by Liu Yang. It seed very safe but was actually in a blind spot. Even if sothing unexpected happened outside, Shu Shuang herself wouldn’t be able to see it. In other words, as long as Liu Yang didn’t actively warn her, she could easily be trapped in there by the Ghost.
Liu Yang wouldn’t actively kill her because there was no need. After all, Liu Yang has so experience with survival tasks and knows the importance of keeping calm. In this situation, having one more teammate ans one more chance of hope for the team, but once danger arises, she would be Liu Yang’s Substitute Death for the night.
But the developnt of things seed to deviate from Liu Yang’s expectations. Just a few minutes ago, his abdon suddenly twisted in pain. At first, he didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just a chill. But after just two minutes, he began to struggle, and more frighteningly, his head felt dizzy, and when wiping his forehead with the back of his hand, it was covered in cold sweat.
"Ow~~ Ow~~" From under the neighboring desk, ca the sound of painful moaning, accompanied by the sound of gasping.
"Shu Shuang, what’s wrong?" Liu Yang seed to realize sothing and asked in a low voice, enduring the abdominal pain.
"Liu... Brother Liu, I... my stomach really hurts, it feels like I ate sothing bad." Shu Shuang’s weak and painful voice ca from beside Liu Yang.
It was clear, Shu Shuang was enduring imnse pain, her voice trembling.
Liu Yang remained expressionless, but inside, he was in an uproar. His guess was confird; this wasn’t simply a case of eating sothing bad. They were targeted by the Ghost, both he and Shu Shuang.
As for why, he hadn’t thought of it yet, but this was definitely an unfamiliar Ghost.
According to existing information, no Ghost that kills in this manner had ever appeared in the office before, and no Ghost would co this quickly.
It was certain, this creature was extrely dangerous, and staying here any longer was a path to death.
At that mont, Shu Shuang’s painful voice tily ca over, "Brother Liu, I... I can’t hold on, I’m... I’m in so much pain."
Although Liu Yang was also in great discomfort, he still made a judgnt in an extrely short ti. It was certain, both of them were now targeted by the Ghost, and it was almost impossible for both to escape. Now, the purpose of leaving Shu Shuang beca apparent; he needed to sacrifice her for survival.
"Shh—, Shu Shuang, did you hear any sounds?" Liu Yang pretended to be alard and asked.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Shu Shuang was imdiately scared and even her breathing beca quieter. After a long while, she replied in a frightened voice, "What... what sound? I didn’t hear anything."
"In the corridor, it seems... it seems like there’s knocking, soone is knocking on the door." Liu Yang feigned frightened intimidation.
Last night, a Headless Ghost appeared, and the precursor to its killing was the sound of knocking, which was public knowledge, and Shu Shuang was naturally aware of this.
Liu Yang chose to scare Shu Shuang with the Headless Ghost, accurately hitting Shu Shuang’s weakness. Sure enough, upon hearing the appearance of the Ghost, Shu Shuang instantly beca too scared to speak, even suppressing her painful moans, "Liu... Brother Liu, the Ghost is here, what... what should we do?"
"Shh—" Liu Yang interrupted, "Don’t panic, you stay hidden here and don’t move, I’ll go to the corridor and try to divert the Ghost."
After speaking, without waiting for Shu Shuang’s response, Liu Yang endured the severe pain and crawled out from under the desk, ready to flee.
But just after taking two steps, his pants leg was grabbed by a hand, Shu Shuang poked her head out from under the desk with a painful expression, "Liu... Brother Liu, you will co back for , right? You won’t abandon , right?"
"I won’t, silly girl. I’ll first go and divert the Ghost; I guarantee, we’ll et again soon." Liu Yang felt a burst of irritation, wishing he could kick Shu Shuang aside, but now was not the ti. He needed to calm her, to let her stay obediently as the Substitute Death.
"If... if you’re lying to , you won’t end well." Shu Shuang stared at Liu Yang with a peculiar gaze as she released her hand.
Liu Yang left feeling relieved, but for so reason, Shu Shuang’s final gaze remained in his mind, sending chills down his spine.
Walking quickly down the corridor, Liu Yang was almost escaping from the office, but his body was evidently weaker than he anticipated. Even after leaving the office area and Shu Shuang, his abdominal pain continued without any relief. anwhile, his steps beca more unsteady, limbs weakened, and his head grew dizzy. But for leaning against the wall, he almost collapsed to the ground.
He vaguely sensed sothing was wrong, but at this mont, his mind no longer supported deep thinking. At the last mont, unable to hold on, he could only open a nearby door, stumbling inside.
Before his eyes, the whole world spun, he wanted to grab a table to steady himself, but ironically he missed, and after knocking over a chair, he fell to the ground.
In the next half-minute, he tried several tis to support his body to stand up, but without exception, he fell again, bruising his face and nose.
Ultimately, drained of energy, he could only lie on the ground like a puddle of mud, gasping for breath, his face sared with a mixture of nosebleed and saliva.
