Chapter 56: Strange Changes
Dong Xie took a deep breath, then opened his legs and sprinted straight out! Silver Night couldn't help but marvel, "Running with explosive power is so fast!" Mo Yuan also nodded, "It also has a lot to do with the length of his legs, other than me he's the tallest looking person in the entire apartment." Soon, Dong Xie ran to the door of the room where the evil spirit was. At this instant, Dong Xie could be said to be the most nervous, no matter what, it was impossible for him to 100% guarantee that the Evil Spirit would not instantly rush out and kill him! Sprint, sprint, sprint! It didn't take him long to run to the entrance hall on the other side of the corridor and sprint into the 81st corridor! "Whew……" Dong Xie let out a long sigh of relief, it was safe to run here. Then he turned back and looked at Mo Yuan and Silver Night at the other end of the corridor. Then, he began to re-massage his leg joints in preparation. If they were to experiment whether the evil spirits would choose to prioritize their attacks based on distance, then two people would have to walk into the corridor at the same time, and then one would be close and one would be far away, and then judge which side the evil spirits were attacking towards based on the sound of their footsteps. "I'll go." Mo Yuan looked towards Silver Night with a resolute look on his face, "After all, I am the current occupant performing this bloodletter mission, compared to ……" "I understand." Silver Night also agreed with Mo Yuan, "But you must be careful. Even though the Evil Spirit has always acted according to a fixed pattern, it's possible that it's intentionally giving the occupants preconceived notions, luring you step by step into a death trap." "Well …… if that's the case ……" "Do you know about the spider-tailed anthropomorphic horn viper?" "Huh?" Mo Yuan was instantly confused, "What is that?" "It's a special type of snake that was only discovered in Iran in 2006, the tail of this snake, in the extreme, resembles a spider. The spider-tailed anaconda just has to find a way to hide the snake's body, and the tail is a spider no matter how you look at it. In the documentary, birds hunting for spiders were devoured by this snake." "Is it really that amazing?" "Even the viewers who watched the documentary thought that it was really a spider for a split second before the snake hunted it. When I watched the BBC documentary with Silver Feather that documented this kind of snake, Silver Feather rewind the documentary 2 times before seeing how the spider turned into a snake." With these words, he couldn't help but make Mo Yuan feel a chill down his back. "The Evil Spirit's current actions are just too regular, treating the three of us even equally, this phenomenon rather makes me feel abnormal." Silver Night then continued to analyze, "Nature is extremely magical, and these Evil Spirits that have completely transcended the normal natural ecology will only be even more terrifying. No matter how much that Evil Spirit is acting like a spider that can be easily devoured by birds right now, you always have to be wary of whether it will transform into a poisonous snake." The reason why Silver Night cited a practical example was to make Mo Yuan emphasize this possibility in his heart. It was always easier for people to be impressed by practical figurative examples than some grand theories. Mo Yuan then shouted to Dong Xie on the other side, "Begin!" Dong Xie and Mo Yuan, each stepped out with one foot, while Mo Yuan's pace was a bit faster. Then, the two stopped their steps. Dong Xie and Mo Yuan, on both sides of the corridor, got ready. Then …… Footsteps began to sound. Mo Yuan thought back to the example Silver Night had just given, and his heart was nervous. Currently, his position was just closer to the evil spirits relative to Dong Xie, as long as he turned back now he could immediately escape back. Listening to the footsteps, Mo Yuan perked up his ears and stared at the door of the room where the evil spirit was in front of him. But right at this moment! The door of a room opposite the evil spirit's room was suddenly opened! Then, two people walked out from inside! Those two people, it was …… Dong Ning and Ke Yin Yu! "No!" Seeing this scene, Dong Xie and Ke Yinye both instantly changed color, then both immediately ran over! "Quickly, run towards me!" The two shouted these words almost in unison! Both Dong Ning and Ke Yin Yu's reactions were quick, immediately heading in the direction of Dong Xie and Ke Yinye respectively! And at about the same time, the door to the opposite room opened! And right after that, another person stepped out behind them, and it was Ming Chenyan! Akatsuhiko was right in line with the wide-open Evil Spirit room at that moment! Before it was too late to react, Ming Chenyan's body was as if pulled by some kind of force, quickly entering that room! Then …… There was no longer a single sound. Both Dong Ning and Silver Feather immediately ran to Dong Evil and Silver Night before the two men pulled their respective loved ones back to the safety of the corridor! "Ming Chen Yan ……," Mo Yuan also sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly began to retreat again! After everyone had retreated back, Dong Xie grabbed Dong Ning and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "What was that just now?" Dong Ning was in a state of shock at this point, and her body couldn't help but tremble. "Listen to me, now ……" But, just at this time, something unexpected happened. The footsteps of the evil spirit came again! Dong Xie took another look …… Now in the corridor where the evil spirits were, there was no one there! Mo Yuan also retreated back! And this time, the footsteps of the evil spirits, obviously much faster! Next, the door to the room, opened! "How can this be!" Mo Yuan looked at this scene and thought about what Silver Night had just said, could it be that it was the same as what Ke Silver Night had said? The viper that had hunted the birds had revealed its true colors? But, before Mo Yuan could react, something even more terrifying happened. Footsteps …… Two different footsteps moved towards the two sides of the corridor! Could it be a …… split? "Ming Chenyan?" At this moment, Dong Qi suddenly realized, "It's not a doppelganger, it's Ming Chenyan!" He pulled Dong Ning's hand and hurriedly ran towards the front! "Escape! Aning! I'll explain to you later!" Although the Evil Spirit's footsteps were obviously much faster now, they were only the equivalent of the sound of an ordinary person when walking quickly. As long as they ran, they weren't afraid. Dong Xie pulled Dong Ning's hand and ran towards the front while always keeping in mind the numbers corresponding to the corridors. And at the same time, Silver Night also pulled Silver Feather's hand and ran with Mo Yuan. "I got it!" As smart as Silver Night is, she instantly figured it out, "The premise of keeping the rules of the evil spirit's actions just now is that that evil spirit didn't kill anyone! Once the Evil Spirit kills someone, then the person who was killed will become a new Evil Spirit, and the two Evil Spirits will not only move faster, they can also move to the original safe corridor!" Akatsuhiko's death caused their plans to be completely disrupted! "Silver Feather, where are the others?" Silver Night looked at Silver Feather and asked, "Where are those other apartment dwellers now?" Ke Yin Yu's intelligence was no less than Ke Yin Night's, and through his extremely brief few words, he understood the cause almost instantly. "We entered a certain room with Akatsuhiko, and as soon as we turned around, we realized that the original corridor had become the interior of the room, and then we ……" "I see." Ginyo understood as soon as she heard it, "So you guys should be the only ones here now." The speed at which the evil spirits moved might have something to do with the number of people who had died, and at the moment it looked like there might not be any new people dying. Running down another corridor, Silver Night first stopped to listen with his ears …… behind him as evil spirits continued to walk up! "The speed is still even, but it's already the speed of a normal person walking at a fast pace!" However, this speed, to Silver Night's ears, was already the fastest walking speed without running! So they couldn't stop, they had to keep moving in this infinite loop of corridors! But the problem was, their stamina was limited, but the evil spirits didn't need to rest, and this corridor was likely to have no end! If they couldn't find a way to break it, it was only a matter of time before they died here! "Once someone dies it's a dead end ……," Silver Night clenched her lips, "Not bad for a sixth difficulty Bloodletter mission!" And there was an even more terrifying problem that the time consumed here would bring death closer to them step by step! "Let's not go too fast, first save a little bit of stamina as much as possible ……" Mo Yuan was very clear at this time, this corridor had no fork in the road, it could only keep going forward with no end in sight, and the Evil Spirit obviously never stops all the time. If you don't find a way out, it's only a matter of time before you die here! On the other side, Dong Qi, Dong Ning was the same! "It's ……" Silver Night clenched her teeth, grasped Silver Feather's hand in death, and said, "We absolutely …… definitely can't die here! " However, at this time, Ke Silver Night thought of another problem. After Ming Chenyan's death, the evil spirits underwent an obvious mutation. The dead …… mutated …… Could it be that the Kitayama family's longtime work of removing spirits?
