Chapter 472 - Do You Still Want to Clear the Game? (1/2)

“Squat down and stay where you are! Don’t move!” When all the lights went off and darkness fell, Yang Chen’s voice echoed down the corridor. At the time, the three editors were still inside the warehouse. Ah Nan and Hu Ya were in the middle of the racks. They were walking ahead and did not realize that Tails was no longer behind them.

The warehouse sunk into darkness, and the only source of light was the ray from the computer screen. Tails moved her face to the screen. As she leaned closer, the face in the screen became clearer. The dark frame leaned forward like a body soaked underwater slowly surfacing. She stared at the face on the screen—it was bald, and due to the long soaking in certain liquid, its face was pale and white.

“These features…” Removing the paper from her pocket, Tails opened the paper before the screen. The clean, fair fingers fell on the paper, and Tails’ eyes widened. She realized that the face on the paper was similar to the one that was showing on the computer screen!

“It was a human face?” She turned back to look, and all the lights outside in the corridor had been extinguished. In the darkness, she clearly saw the power light for the printer come back on. A piece of paper fell down next to her. This time, there was no face on the paper; instead, there was something written on it—Look behind you!

Holding the paper with both her hands, Tails was enveloped by the fear of the unknown. Her body chilled as she squatted alone in the dark, unable to find her friends. Her neck froze, and she forced herself to not turn around. The cold light from the screen fell on her body, and her slight frame was shivering. Her pupils quivered in the dark, and try as she might, her eyes kept wandering to the corner.

The dark screen started to ripple like water, and something underneath it was swimming to the surface. Tails did not dare to move, and she stared at the screen from the corner of her eyes. The ripple expanded, and inside the screen that no one else was paying attention to, a bloated face that was blue from asphyxiation crawled outward!

It happened so fast that Tails could not react in time. She could only see the face charge at her. She wanted to scream, but there was no sound. Her eyes widened like they were about to pop out from their sockets. The face was still closing in on her—the neck, the arm, the upper body.

The wet arms grabbed the helpless girl like it was trying to pull Tails into the computer with it!

The lights in the corridor finally came back on. Ah Nan turned toward the door and shouted, “What just happened‽”

He and Hu Ya quickly ran out. The faces of all the visitors were bad. Ol’ Zhou was still gasping for air. It appeared like he too had been given quite a shock.

“Tell me, what happened‽” There was a bad feeling in Ah Nan’s heart. He scanned the group and frowned. “The chef and his little brother are missing?”

“They ran away on their own.” Bai Qiulin massaged his shoulder. When he was shoved by Ol’ Zhou earlier, he had been knocked into the wall.

“All of you were outside then, why did the two of them suddenly go crazy?” Ah Nan kept his eyes on Bai Qiulin.

“Just now, the lights in the corridor went off one by one. The little brother saw something approaching in the dark, so the chef went back to the junction to check. Then, he suddenly went insane, grabbed his brother, and started running.” Bai Qiulin told him everything that he had seen, not hiding anything.
