Chapter 38: The silhouette in the window
"Run away!" With Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan yelling, Nie Han's first reaction was to immediately take a step and run, while Fang Wenxuan, Ming Chenyan's reaction wasn't slow as well, rushing towards the corner of the corridor, turning the corner and continuing to rush towards the front. While Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan stood in place, at this time, the dark silhouette of the previous silhouette, had already disappeared. "They …… will die at least one person, right?" Mo Yuan only felt that his heart was gripped tightly, and he also knew very well that he could die as well, perhaps he would lose his life in the next second. He looked at the lighter in his hand, and in the moment he knew that his life could pass away at any moment, many things came to his mind, and then he realized that if he were to die now, he would actually not have too many happy memories in his life. A father who was always high and mighty inflicting violence, a mother who could only obey her father no matter how much she was beaten, and a self who became paranoid and withdrawn and extreme in such a family …… "I don't want to die in front of that bastard old man of mine …… That bastard is still serving his sentence in prison now and is alive and well." Qin Ziyuan realized that this was actually the only thought in his head when he was facing a death crisis. At this time, in the darkness, Nie Han, Fang Wenxuan and Ming Chenyan ran over. There was actually no attrition? The three of them didn't stop and directly turned the corner to continue running. "I'm afraid the actual length of this corridor won't exceed five meters." This was Mo Yuan's thought, "If the time shortens more and more, then that means ……" "Will the evil spirits strike before then?" "No …… not sure ……" Not a moment later, the three of them ran over again. But this time, they were called off by Mo Yuan. "No, it's not right!" Mo Yuan discovered a problem. After starting to run, the time to run the entire length of the corridor was barely shortened! Could it be that …… "The black silhouette we saw just now ……," Mo Yuan whispered, speculating that he was afraid that the black silhouette was a psychological tactic. Just as Fang Han had said, the Blood Character mission pressurized the occupants to cause false judgments through fear. The appearance of the black silhouette prompted him to make the occupants run, but once they ran, would they be unable to shorten the distance of the corridor? "Nie Han," Mo Yuan said to Nie Han after coming to a conclusion, "Let me do it instead. Or try walking." Nie Han hadn't asked Mo Yuan why he had asked them to run just now, and she surmised that something must have appeared behind her just now. However, not being able to run but only walk in this dark environment was indeed a huge psychological torture. "Mo Yuan?" Qin Ziyuan pulled him back and said, "You?" To be honest, Qin Ziyuan didn't really care about Nie Han's death or life. The reason was also very simple, Nie Han was too selfish and self-interested as a person, and she usually seldom bothered about Blood Character quests that had nothing to do with her, so even if she died, it wouldn't be a great loss to Qin Ziyuan. What use was a Wise Dweller who wasn't willing to help others to him? But Mo Yuan was different, he was a person who was ancient and eager to help others, he was practically a chivalrous person that could only be seen inside a martial arts novel, Mo Yuan surviving would definitely help his future survival greatly. Another factor was that with Mo Yuan around, it might be possible to restrain Fang Han outside the apartment to a certain extent, after all, Fang Han had been intentionally concealing what Mo Yuan was plotting. "I'll do it." Nie Han, however, walked next to Ming Chenyan, took the lighter from his hand, and said, "I'll walk on." Nie Han's eyes were firm. Of course she knew that she could die at any time. In fact, she had also never known what ending she would face. To date, she still remembered the day when Fang Han had completed the tenth Bloodletter, and even remembered his smile at that time, as well as Zhiruo, who had greeted him outside the apartment. To Nie Han, she had always sincerely blessed Fang Han and Zhiruo. If only, if only she could have lived, could have lived through the ten bloodletters earlier …… She had only lived to love one person more than herself. And for her, she only had one thought, to do her best to obstruct the remaining three hell entrances from opening. Even if she gambled her life, she absolutely could not let Fang Han die. Gambling on her life …… the only way to cross the one death barrier of the blood word mission was to live with the awareness of living towards death. She clenched her teeth and walked forward step by step. And there was not a single person that dared to follow. Mo Yuan wanted to walk up, but was pulled by Qin Ziyuan, saying, "Isn't it all about women's rights now? Men and women are equal, you can't belittle her just because she's a woman." "But ……" "This is a path with a high mortality rate, Mo Yuan. The triumvirate can't afford to lose two here." Qin Ziyuan knew very well that it was also impossible for him to forcefully order the others to walk this path at a normal pace. If he had a choice, he actually didn't want Nie Han to gamble, but right now this was her own choice. Mo Yuan actually wanted to follow Nie Han, but Qin Ziyuan always held onto him with a death grip and even had Ming Chenyan come along to pull him down. To Qin Ziyuan, in the worst case scenario, it was better for one of the three giants to die than two. As time passed, everyone waited patiently. And it didn't take long for Nie Han to come over from the other side. "Time …… "Mo Yuan had been looking at his watch in the process, "It's really shortened!" "Is that so?" Nie Han walked up and asked, "How many seconds did it take?" "Ten seconds ……" "Good, I'll keep going." Nie Han maintained an even pace and continued to turn the corner and walk forward. Watching the firelight traveling a little bit through the darkness, Mo Yuan and the others had their hearts clenched. Mo Yuan still remembered the first time he met Nie Han. As a person who voluntarily entered the apartment, he was just as full of tension and fear at that time, but he was still more than a little shocked when he saw Nie Han. Nie Han didn't show any emotion to anyone, but only in front of Fang Han would she completely turn into another person, her eyes were as if they would flicker with light, and the magnitude of the contrast was really staggering. "Five seconds!" Almost a moment later, Nie Han came over from the other side again! The time was shortening! "Continue!" Mo Yuan was also getting more and more nervous, at this point in time, the slightest mishap could cause Nie Han to die here! Finally, when Nie Han walked around the corner once more, they were already able to see the corner of the corridor behind her with the naked eye! "The corridor has shortened to this extent?" Mo Yuan was greatly relieved when Nie Han walked slowly. Just as she walked around the corner again, she once again walked forward for a moment and suddenly said, "This! This place has changed!" Mo Yuan heard these words and immediately followed! Sure enough, in front of the corridor, the end appeared, and it was still a door! The ghostly wall was cracked! The residents were greatly relieved, and at this time, one by one, they all followed. "Great, you didn't die ……" Mo Yuan looked at Nie Han at this time with a frightened heart and said, "I really …… almost thought that you couldn't come back. " After all, if Nie Han died, Mo Yuan would be the apartment's most senior resident. To be honest, he actually didn't want that. "I think …… it's okay." Although Nie Han said that on her lips, it was obvious that her face was also rather unsightly. Advancing alone in a corridor like this, anyone knew how scary it was. And walking to the end of the corridor, looking at the door, Mo Yuan walked forward and tried to open the door. The door was unlocked. Mo Yuan opened the door as fast as he could and immediately jumped to the back! This was a bedroom. While the bedroom door was facing a floor-to-ceiling window, outside was the torrential rain that was still pouring down. Seeing the torrential downpour outside, it was as if everyone had inhaled the fresh air outside, and finally there was light beyond the lighter. They slowly walked inside this room. And right from the floor-to-ceiling windows here, they could just see the windows of the opposite room. At this moment, Mo Yuan suddenly saw that on the window of the opposite room, there was a silhouette! "That …… that is?" Mo Yuan's eyes widened as he saw the blurry silhouette. The occupants quickly all rushed to the floor-to-ceiling windows, however, the large amount of rainwater had already caused the window's vision to become blurred, coupled with the darkness of the sky, they could only vaguely see a silhouette within the opposite window. Is that silhouette a person …… or? It didn't take long for that silhouette, to slowly turn around and leave. "That s …… it." At this time, Mo Yuan had a vague premonition. That was most likely, the most terrifying evil spirit in this Blood Word mission!
