Chapter 34: Coming Back from Death (1/2)

This world’s time had suddenly stood still, and it was not even half a minute before Bai Yan had finished reading the choices presented to him, but this time, he had never felt that the five minutes given to him become so short.

He took advantage of his five minutes of safety and ran towards the kitchen to look outside the window.

Outside was the scene of a girl standing on tiptoe and looking into the peephole. Her arms held a dog that had a severed hand dripping with blood, looking somewhat more frightening than the young girl.

Bai Yan’s gaze wandered into a distance to the bloodied staircase leading to the fourth floor.

At the small corner of the stairs, he vaguely saw an arm without a hand and a man, whose head had already been bitten half off, eerily crawling on the ground. At the side exposed a tattered up woman’s hand that seemed to be also struggling to climb down.

These two must be the girl’s parents!

It seemed that their family of three had been completely wiped out.

He wasn’t sure if the ghost dog had bitten them all to death when they fell asleep, or if it first killed the girl, and then the girl along with the ghost dog murdered the husband and wife together.

He weighed his options once again with his eyes fixated on the twenty seconds displayed on the countdown. In the end, he pressed on Option B, wanting to first try going through Yi Zihan’s route.

“Jingang, we should go to the master bedroom and escape there. Yi Zihan must have been killed by the ghost baby. It’s too awful!”

Bai Yan listened to himself shout as Wu Jingang listened and clenched his teeth in admission.

From his point of view, every ghost in this game was equally terrifying. Rather than dying inside the house, it was better to fight for their lives and escape.

“Okay, Yanyan. I’ll jump out first and then I’ll catch you from below.”

Wu Jingang yelled, but as he used his hands to pry the window open, he suddenly hesitated. He stared at the legs hanging on the other side of the glass and immediately wondered if he should continue opening the window.

“Hehehe… Uncle, aunty, don’t pretend to be dead. My precious dog is starving. Quickly let us in!”

The girl and dog’s incessant barking drilled through the walls of their home. Thinking of the hell that awaited them outside the door, Wu Jingang didn’t have second thoughts anymore and used all his strength to open the window, jumping down as soon as he entered a crouching position.

“Pak.”

Wu Jingang landed on the bushes downstairs. He quickly got up and didn’t seem to be seriously hurt.

Seeing Wu Jingang land safely on the ground, Bai Yan also stepped on the window sill, preparing to jump off. But as soon as he poked his head out of the window, the red shoes’ sharp points started nudging him on his head.

“Tak. Tak. Tak.”

The red shoes on top swept across his head, causing his scalp to feel numb and to slowly ooze out fresh blood.

Almost in an instant, blood ominously trickled down Yi Zihan’s legs and seeped out of the red shoes, causing blood to drip onto Bai Yan’s eyes and ears. Amid the intense pain caused by the liquid, Bai Yan’s ears turned deaf, and his line of sight turned red with blood.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

He cried loudly from the pain but still intended to jump. However, at this moment, the window was already covered in a thick layer of sticky blood. The layer of blood that replaced the glass seemed to be alive, steadily flowing, and soon, ruthlessly pushing Bai Yan into the room.

Helplessly lying in the pool of red liquid, Bai Yan was stuck to the ground and couldn’t move an inch.

He forced his eyes to open wide and saw the beautiful, red-soled legs landing on the window sill. It slowly entered the room and chillingly drew nearer to his body, step by step.

As the blood washed over him, Bai Yan’s eyes moved upwards uncontrollably.

At this moment, Yi Zihan had finally stood in front of him with her red shoes strongly pressed against his face. Bai Yan’s eyes carefully trailed up along her snow-white legs, only to see that atop her legs was nothing but space. She didn’t have an upper body!

Following him dying a frightening death, Bai Ya looked at the options in front of him again with his bloodshot eyes.

He licked his dry lips and pressed on Option C without the slightest hesitation, preparing himself to break through a different path.

The app had once again assumed complete control over his body.

“Jingang, there’s no time left. We need to run away from this place!”

Wu Jingang looked at the window with eyes full of doubt while biting his lip nervously.

The ghost baby crawling on the window was incredibly terrifying but comparing it with the ghosts blocking the door and the miserable-looking pair of white legs, the ghost baby looked like the best option.

“Okay, Yanyan. I’ll jump out first and then I’ll catch you from below.”

Hearing the incessant knocking sounds outside the door, Wu Jingang didn’t dare doubt his actions and quickly opened the window.

Wu Jingang saw the ghost baby outside the window, and with a cruel heart, he pulled the ghost baby’s body off the glass and used all his might to throw the baby away.

“Get the hell away from me!”

Wu Jingang shook his arms using all his strength, but the ghost baby stubbornly stuck close to his arm, gradually climbing up his wrists.

In a blink of an eye, the ghost baby already climbed up his arm, and when he saw this, Wu Jingang’s eyes became wild. His blue veins bulged out, and he jumped down while letting out a hearty roar, “Yanyan, don’t worry about me! Jump!”

Wu Jingang brought along the ghost baby with him on his way down. Bai Yan quietly observed the brother for a moment before closely following his lead, cautiously crawling out the window and preparing to jump as well.

As he adjusted his posture to jump down, he watched Wu Jingang fiercely pulling away the ghost baby on his arm. With the view of the top of his head from above, it seemed like Wu Jingang was opening his mouth and yelling something inaudible.

Seeing that Wu Jingang was having unnatural movements, Bai Yan had a menacing premonition in his heart, but with an arrow pointed at his back, he had no other choice but to go for it.

He strongly lept out of the window and was now in midair, but something seemed to have caught his legs.
