Chapter 33: To Get Caught in Desperate Times (2/2)

However, the video as well as Bai Yan’s red-printed neck were ironclad proof, so he couldn’t help but believe the claims.

Wu Jingang stared blankly at the video for a long time before he dryly said, “If the whole building is haunted, where should we live from now on?”

Wu Jingang felt distressed over this house, and if it weren’t for the unsuitable situation, Bai Yan would’ve been laughing at his pain-filled expression.

But after all, Wu Jingang didn’t experience what he had said, so he probably thought that he was just mindlessly sleepwalking with a scary expression on his face.

“Move out. We need to move out now.”

Wu Jingang was at a loss for words, but Bai Yan stood his ground, “There’s no time to lose. We’re moving out now, so let’s sleep at a hotel for the night. That ghost becomes more and more frightening. Two days ago, it was just staring at me from a distance. Today, it strangled my neck with its hands. I’m afraid that if I stay here any longer, the ghost will surely choke me to death. Jingang, if you don’t want me to die, come and escape this building with me tonight.”

Bai Yan’s words were so emotional, even leading him to be moved to tears. Staring at his red and mangled neck, Wu Jingang’s guilt arose and his fear lingered, however, he still hesitated, “Yanyan, let’s sleep somewhere else tomorrow night. It’s far too late at the moment. You also said that this building had ghosts. It’s dark out, so they might come out. I’m afraid it’s too dangerous.”

What Wu Jingang had said wasn’t unreasonable, but Bai Yan suddenly remembered the girl’s pet dog. She was already being closely watched by the dog’s ghost and could die at any moment. If he didn’t prepare ahead for a rainy day, come tomorrow, they may encounter five ghosts. One ghost could kill a player, and with five ghosts, even 10 resurrection coins won’t be enough.

“No. Jingang, I can’t wait anymore.” Bai Yan was still in the middle of talking, but before he could completely convince Wu Jingang, he heard a strange thud from the glass window.

Bai Yan glanced at Wu Jingang and saw him have his mouth agape while his eyes were filled with shock.

Bai Yan slowly turned his head around and saw a pair of red shoes hanging from the window

The tips of the red shoes shook in the air, occasionally nudging the glass and creating a dull bumping sound. From the naked eye, the shoes were visibly sliding down at constant speed and soon, a woman’s pair of ankles began to show.

These shoes seemed to be extremely familiar to Bai Yan. These were the exact shoes he saw during the day when Yi Zihan was wearing them.

As the red shoes continued sliding down, it finally reached the center of the window, revealing a pair of bloodied pale legs.

The miserable-looking thighs were still inching downwards, and deep in Bai Yan’s heart, he knew something bad was going to happen and would encounter something horrifying when the woman’s corpse had come into full view.

Bai Yan didn’t want to sit still and wait for death, so he immediately hit the absentminded Wu Jingang and promptly decided, “It’s haunted. Let’s not daydream, we need to get moving now!”

“Oh, okay.”

Wu Jingang obediently nodded at once, and during his shocked state, he completely neglected his wife’s big personality change. He set his heart in preparing to obey his wife’s orders, which right now, were escaping this haunted building. Yet, as he dashed to the door, he mumbled in fear, “No, we can’t leave.”

“What’s wrong?”

Bai Yan stared with concern at the stammering Wu Jingang, who was having difficulty in getting his words out, so Bai Yan pushed him away from the peephole and took a look at it himself.

With just a glance, his heart sank. The motion-activated lights were on, making the outside look bright and clear, but standing in front of the door was a girl carrying a dog. The dog’s mouth contained a severed hand while the girl’s body as well as her mouth was entirely drenched in blood.

Sensing Bai Yan’s gaze through the peephole, the girl stood on tiptoe and drew nearer, pressing her eye against the small hole.

“Hehehe… Uncle… Aunty… I have spotted you. Open the door quickly.”

“Open the door for me.”

The girl’s complexion was colored purple and her stomach was replaced by a large hole, clearly evident that she had already died.

Seeing this morbid scene, Bai Yan’s face changed greatly. Although he wasn’t afraid of the ghost girl, he had anticipated a more terrible situation.

The hand that was carried in the dog’s mouth was a man’s hand, signifying that besides the girl, this building had new ghosts showing up.

Were the residents upstairs still alive?

Wu Jingang was a large man, but even his legs were cowardly shaking from such a ghoulish scene.

However, when he saw his wife standing still as if she were scared, he did his best to quell his heart and said in his most stable voice as possible, “Yanyan, the window. We can use the second room’s window to get out.”

The doorway and the master bedroom’s window were guarded by ghosts, so they naturally couldn’t escape there. Going through them would be like sending them to death.

Hearing what he said, Bai Yan and Wu Jingang rushed to the second bedroom, but when they arrived, they found out that the room’s window was also muddied with blood. The ghost baby. The ghost baby was lying on its stomach on the glass, facing them with a nasty grin on its face.

All the roads were blocked. Bai Yan finally learned what desperation truly was.

In this desperate situation, the phone’s vibration came late. Wu Jingang’s face was frozen still, and Bai Yan seemed to have woken up from his trance. He looked down to check his phone, but what entered his sight were four choices that undoubtedly led straight to Hell.

[Today, you surprisingly met up with your neighbors in a nearby cafe. After chatting with your neighbors, you finally realized that this building has a problem. When night fell, you have successfully convinced your husband that you two should escape this haunted building. However, during your escape, you both found out that all of your paths are blocked by ghosts.]

[In the face of desperate times, you decide to:]

[A. Open the door and force yourselves through the ghost girl and the ghost dog.]

[B. Before Yi Zihan’s corpse falls completely, break through the master bedroom’s window.]

[C. Escape through the second bedroom’s window, which is being blocked by the ghost baby.]

[D. Do nothing and hide under the bed in the master bedroom. You just close your eyes and patiently wait for dawn to arrive.]
