The silver light trembled along with her footsteps, shattering the darkness of the night again and again. Pieces of darkness flashed past her eyes, immersed in her rapid breathing and footsteps.
The grand prize had given Lin Sanjiu more than one communicator. As long as she could put some distance between herself and the corpse, she could call him back.
That was the first thought that flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind when the communicator was smashed into pieces. She immediately took out another communicator. However, to her surprise, even though she held the card in her hand for a long time, she still couldn't find a chance to stop and call Ji Shanqing.
The corpse was moving faster and faster. In the dark, it curled its body in a crooked position, dragging its limbs like a crab as it followed closely behind Lin Sanjiu. With every step it took, the skeleton and skin of the carcass would creak with a jarring sound.
The communicator was a little fragile. When it swayed, the signal was unstable. Lin Sanjiu tried a few times, but she still couldn't make a call. However, every time Lin Sanjiu stopped, the corpse would close in on her in the blink of an eye. She didn't have any time to react.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu put away the communicator and switched it to the [Power of Description].
At the very least, this Special Item was not affected when she was running.
"The grand prize must think that something bad has happened to me," Lin Sanjiu said to Mrs. Manas. Her heart was filled with anxiety, anxiety, and anger. "He must be so worried about me. What's wrong with this corpse? Why is it moving so fast all of a sudden?"
"It's not just a sudden," Mrs. Manas sighed. "When I thought about it, it seemed to be gradually increasing its speed. However, after that phone call, its speed increased tremendously."
"How did you know?"
"Just now, when Long Er warned you that it was coming, didn't it almost hit you? Now that I think about it, it's not that he warned you too late. The corpse just moved faster. "
Lin Sanjiu was not in the mood to think about why the corpse was moving faster.
Her mind was on Ji Shanqing. After a few seconds of hesitation, she asked in a low voice, "Does the grand prize think that I've been killed? No, I don't think so. The voice of the corpse doesn't sound like me. "
"The corpse's voice doesn't sound like anyone at all." Mrs. Manas emphasized, "No one looks like it, so it could be anyone. After all, there are many ways to die during the apocalypse, so anything is possible. What's more, it's connected to the communicator — "
"Why do you always say such things!"
"I am your subconscious!" Mrs. Manas cried out as if she had been wronged, "This means that you are aware of this possibility!"
Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh after she was rendered speechless. She turned around and used the [Ability Polishing Agent] to identify the location of the corpse. Then, she quickened her pace and rushed to the other side of the warehouse. At this moment, Long Two was standing on the last side without a wall. It seemed as if he didn't know what to do. When she got closer, he shouted, "What, what's going on with the body?"
"That's what I wanted to ask!" Lin Sanjiu said grumpily, "It said that the person who killed it was here, and it suddenly went crazy!"
In just two short sentences, she rushed past him. Long Two shouted from behind, "Here? But aren't you the only one in the dungeon? "
[Of course!]
Lin Sanjiu just wanted to get in touch with Ji Shanqing as soon as possible, but she had no choice but to run around with a corpse. She was already fuming with anger, so she swallowed her words and ignored Long Two. Ryuji suddenly came to a realization. "I say, your character in this instance dungeon, could it be that you are actually the murderer?"
[Murderer?]
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She couldn't help but slow down a few steps. Then, she came to her senses and rushed to the opposite corner of the wall. She had just passed by this place not long ago.
"The murderer needs to get out of the secret chamber …" Long Two walked slowly to the other side, but the other side was blocked by a wall. His voice was muffled as he spoke through the wall, "Could it be that … you can get out after you find the method the murderer used to create the secret chamber?"
His speculation was reasonable. Lin Sanjiu replied with a "hmm" and said, "You didn't waste your time reading detective novels. But, I have something more important to do now."
A few minutes ago, she described the row of shelves that she had seen while she was running. Now, it was standing alone in the darkness.
Lin Sanjiu stopped and turned around to look at the corpse. After running for a while, she had managed to put some distance between herself and the corpse. Even though the distance was not enough for her to call her grand prize and the communicator, it was enough for her to do something else.
Lin Sanjiu crouched down and leaped into the air. She grabbed the edge of the shelf and flipped herself to the top of the shelf. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The corpse wobbled closer to the shelf and stopped under her feet.
Using the silver light, Lin Sanjiu could see half of the corpse's grayish-white neck buried deep in its chest. The fractured cervical vertebrae had become deformed and protruded. There were bumps of different sizes on its skin.
Lin Sanjiu stared at the corpse and took out her communicator.
Just when she averted her gaze for half a second, the shelf shook so violently that she almost dropped the communicator. When she focused her gaze, goosebumps rose on her back.
The corpse was nowhere to be seen. From the third and fourth layer of the shelf, a gray and withered hand slowly reached out and grabbed the edge of the shelf.
"This thing can actually climb up."
If she continued to stay here, she was afraid that before the communication device connected, she would be grabbed by the ankle. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and looked around. Then, an idea came to her. She put the communicator away and stared at the wall not far away. Then, she leaped toward the opposite wall.
She had never rebuilt the ceiling of this warehouse. Now, it seemed that she was right to be lazy.
Thud! Lin Sanjiu hung on the edge of the wall with one hand. The wall was so smooth that there was no place for her to stand on. She tried to climb the wall a few times, but she couldn't find a way out. Panting, she whispered, "There's a wall lamp on this wall!"
Stepping on the protruding light, she managed to get both her elbows on the edge of the thin wall.
Lin Sanjiu turned her head to look. The corpse was slowly climbing out of the shelf. Its head was still folded in its upper body. Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out how such a slow-moving, deformed corpse could move so quickly.
Unexpectedly, the corpse paused on the ground for a while, then turned around and moved to the other side.
"Could it not feel me?"
Lin Sanjiu asked as she propped herself up with her arms. Just as she was about to sit on the wall, her vision blurred. She felt the world was spinning and the back of her head hit the ground.
