Chapter 306

...getting closer.

Not far away, the crooked door was close at hand, darkly open.

Wen Jianyan glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, and his heart almost stopped.

In the rain, a clear "hole" stood not far away, gradually approaching in his direction.

Oops, it's a "guest"!

He took a breath, subconsciously stopped his steps, and cautiously avoided a puddle on the bluestone road ahead.

Perhaps because his position was not continuously received, the "hole" in the distance slowed down for a moment.

But at the same time, under the umbrella, the pale palms holding the umbrella handle became more and more clear, and the reflection in the water gradually solidified. At first, it was just a blurry black shadow, but later it could be clearly seen.

, the child’s low figure.

"…"

Wen Jianyan pursed her lips and looked dark in her eyes.

His behavior pattern of just abandoning caution and focusing only on speed was not without benefits. Since he exposed his current location in the water, the "guests" were chasing after him. Wen Jianyan took this opportunity to finally understand the "hollow"

” direction, and the distance between it and itself.

However, this also pushed him into a dilemma.

Wen Jianyan visually checked the position between himself and the house, and his heart sank.

Whether judging from the speed at which the hole expands or the speed at which the figure under the umbrella solidifies, Wen Jianyan can only draw one conclusion:

If calculated based on the current situation, he cannot take both things into consideration.

If he moves forward cautiously, the "guest" will not be able to accurately judge his position, but this will definitely cause him to slow down. Even if he is not overtaken by the residents, he will be killed by the gradually clear shadow under the human skin umbrella.

However, if he goes at full speed without worrying about whether he steps into the water, he can indeed enter the dry eaves before the shadow under the umbrella becomes clear, but he will also expose his position and be overtaken by the "guest".

……what to do

A decision must be made now.

Not far away, Bai Xue was walking in the rain holding an umbrella, looking up at Wen Jianyan not far away.

The strange thing is that obviously he and Wen Jianyan left the two-story building holding umbrellas at the same time, but the same terrifying shadow did not appear under the human leather umbrella in his hand, but instead seemed peaceful and unusual.

Across the drizzle of rain falling in front of him, his raised eyes looked increasingly dark and strange. He was staring intently at the figure of the young man not far away, as if he was sizing up something.

In the rain, Wen Jianyan's back was straight.

Looking from the puddles on the ground, it seems that a small, cold and blurry figure can be vaguely seen next to him, which looks particularly ominous in the rain.

Although Wen Jianyan's walking speed obviously increased, it was not to the extent of running without any scruples.

Due to his delay, the shadow under the umbrella is gradually solidifying.

Bai Xue raised her eyes, her empty gaze falling into the void, as if she saw something that others could not see.

According to this progress, "it" will appear before entering under the eaves and take away the life of the person holding the umbrella.

And, to make matters worse, because the distribution of potholes on the bluestone road is very complicated, if you want to completely avoid the puddles, you need to go slower and observe more carefully. Although Wen Jianyan's speed is a bit slow, it is not slow.

is not enough.

Even though I was very cautious, I would still accidentally step into a puddle from time to time, causing a splash and exposing my position.

The speed of the "hollow" in the distant rain always speeds up from time to time, and the distance is never completely widened from beginning to end.

The speed was not fast enough to prevent the figure under the umbrella from emerging.

There was not enough time to be cautious and it was impossible to completely avoid being followed by residents from afar.

He didn't make a "decision".

Bai Xue lowered her eyes.

Disappointed?

Not really.

This is how most people would react if faced with this situation.

In order to escape the pursuit of one evil ghost, and take the initiative to send yourself into the mouth of a second evil ghost, not many people can take the initiative to make this decision. Most people would like to gamble on the possibility...

...After all, when facing this kind of threat, most people will have some illusions of luck.

What if?

What if I can get under the roof in time before everything happens?

Maybe the speed of the ghost under the umbrella is not as fast as imagined, and maybe I can be cautious enough to avoid getting wet even if I don't slow down.

What a pity.

No one knows the final result better than Bai Xue.

It's absolutely impossible to succeed.

[Probability is 0]

If we had not abandoned our illusions as soon as possible, made a decisive decision to determine which of the two threats was less deadly, and taken immediate measures, we would have ended up in this situation.

Soon.

Based on experience, Wen Jianyan will be attacked by two ghosts at the same time in about fifteen seconds.

According to this progress, the first thing to emerge should be the child under the umbrella. After three seconds, he will officially enter the danger zone of the "guest".

Although there is a slight time difference, it doesn't matter anymore.

In a dungeon of difficulty like [Prosperity Hotel], a ghost that has activated the killing pattern is almost impossible to be stopped by props sold in the system mall. If you want to survive, you must either use the same difficulty level from the advanced dungeon.

props, or just use talents.

If it is one, it can be dealt with at a very low cost.

But if there are two, the risk will not only be doubled... In this case, the unnecessary consumption will be huge.

However, before the full picture of this dungeon has been fully revealed, and most of the dangers are just the tip of the iceberg, starting to waste props and talents at this time means a decrease in the chance of survival.

Bai Xue lowered her eyes in silence again.

Although the danger this time was related to him, he was not prepared to rescue him.

--Because it's not necessary.

The rain was pouring down, and the boy's hair turned white again, but this time, he did not use points to renew his appearance.

In the blurry rain curtain, his already bloodless face was too pale, like an expressionless doll, with a pair of dark and empty eyes calm, as if he didn't feel that his teammates were under his control.

It's not a bad thing to die in front of you, without even the slightest change in your mood.

If you can't escape it this time, you'll be even less able to escape it next time.

Sooner or later he will die, so there is no need to save him.

Die early. In the nightmare, it is salvation, not disaster.

Why continue to live and struggle and suffer?

Wouldn't it be easier to die?

Suddenly, without warning, the young man in front stopped suddenly.

"...?"

Bai Xue raised her eyes and looked in Wen Jianyan's direction again with some confusion.

The strange thing is that the place where Wen Jianyan stayed was very strange.

Obviously he had time to pay attention to the puddles on the ground, but he did not stand completely in a dry place. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, one of his feet was shallowly immersed in the puddle and remained motionless.

The hollows in the rain began to approach faster.

In the puddle blurred by the rain, a tall pale human figure was reflected, with the corners of his stiff mouth raised high, revealing a strange smile.

Wen Jianyan's body was slightly turned sideways, his eyes fixed on the direction of the "empty", and he always maintained a posture of standing on one foot in the water.

Bai Xue was startled, as if he suddenly realized something.

...is intentional.

Whether it was the action of stepping into the water from time to time at the beginning, or letting one of his feet stay in the water now, it was all done on purpose.

What on earth does he want to do?

Staring at the approaching hole, the answer to the question is ready to come out.

――――In order to always confirm that the location of the “guest” is within your line of sight.

But why

One second.
