A blurry figure holding a ferocious hammer stood in the seemingly endless pitch-black tunnel. Oppressive and gloomy, he blocked the only exit, as if he was the embodiment of despair.
Ma Yin did not have much energy left. Her footsteps slowed, and her eyes lost their color as she looked helplessly at the end of the tunnel.
Compared to the guy with a weapon in front of him, it was obvious that the monsters behind him were easier to bully.
She did not dare move forward. Her legs were weak, and the more afraid she was, the weaker her body became.
"What should we do?" Ma Yin asked for Liu Xianxian's opinion. The only person she could rely on was Liu Xianxian.
"The underground tunnel is complicated, and it connects to all the labs on the western campus. How about we turn back now? If we're lucky, we might be able to escape, but there's a higher chance that we'll be trapped here." Liu Xianxian bit her lips and made the second decision. "The other option is for us to charge forward. If the man attacks you, you drop me. I'll do everything I can to hold him back, and then you run away. When you get out, get the teacher and the security guards to come."
"I can't."
"I've sprained my ankle, so I can't run. Otherwise, both of us will die here!" Many news reports about young girls falling into the hands of bad guys flashed across Liu Xianxian's mind, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Die here …" Ma Yin was reminded of the few paintings that she had seen in the cupboard. The scenes in the paintings had caused her to feel fear and terror.
Nodding lightly, Ma Yin made this difficult decision. "I'll run as fast as I can and find someone to save you."
"I'll wait for you."
After the two finished their discussion, the monster behind them was already very close.
At this time, the man in front of them seemed to have noticed them. He waved his half-meter-long weapon and walked toward them.
The smell of blood spread in the tunnel, and a red shadow could be seen beside the man. One in front and one behind, they gave Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian a lot of pressure.
The two followed their plan and walked toward the man, but they only took a few steps before Ma Yin stopped moving. On her back, Liu Xianxian's face was drained of blood as well.
There seemed to be blood vessels moving around the man in front of them. Perhaps due to their fear, Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian even had auditory hallucinations. The sound of blood dripping echoed in their ears.
Ma Yin's body told her to slow down, and her brain told her to stay away from the man.
Liu Xianxian regretted it. When she was faced with death, she realized how cowardly she had been.
Tears slid down her cheeks, and Liu Xianxian grabbed Ma Yin's shoulders. "How about we go deeper into the underground morgue? What if we can find another exit?"
Before Ma Yin could voice her decision, the man in front of her suddenly picked up speed. She screamed, and without thinking, her legs started to run in the opposite direction from the man.
This is too scary!
They ran back to the corner. There were a few human-shaped monsters that looked like living fish in the corridor. They were quite happy when they saw Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian walk toward them, but their smiles soon disappeared.
The stench of blood in the passageway overpowered the smell of formalin, and fine streaks of blood continued to spread.
What is that?
The footsteps came from the end of the corridor. With the Red Specter following behind him, Chen Ge rushed toward them with the hammer in his hand.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you! "
No one stopped because of his words. Everyone, including the humanoid monsters, ran deeper into the tunnel as if their lives depended on it.
Seeing Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian follow behind the group of monsters, Chen Ge's lips twitched. "What are they trying to do?"
The corridor ahead became more complicated. Chen Ge was worried that Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian would get lost, so he picked up speed. "Stop!"
Ma Yin was carrying Liu Xianxian, and she was a girl. After running for a while, her stamina was completely drained.
Seeing the man get closer and closer, for the first time in her life, she experienced despair, just like the painting.
The rotten hands reached toward the gray sky, but they could never reach it.
"Xianxian, I can't run anymore." Ma Yin did not know what kind of tone she used to say that. She looked at Liu Xianxian, who was still crying, and her fists tightened. She wanted to fight the man behind her, but when her eyes met the man's, she realized that her so-called courage was useless before the man.
She stopped moving like she had accepted her fate.
The smell of blood thickened, and blood vessels seemed to be spreading on the white walls. The despairing figure was getting closer and closer to them.
Ma Yin closed her eyes. She did not want to see herself in this weak state.
The footsteps continued to approach, and in just a few seconds, he reached them. Even though the pain and attack that they expected did not appear, when they sensed the approaching footsteps, they could not help but scream.
They screamed for a long time, but there was no pain. Just as they thought this was going to be a cruel game of cat and mouse, when they opened their eyes, the man had already walked away.
He brandished the unknown weapon in his hand and ran into the depths of the corridor.
With their tears still wet, Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin looked at Chen Ge, and they felt like they had just survived a disaster.
"Let's go!" The two had not completely lost their mind. They held each other and stumbled in the opposite direction.
Chen Ge was in the middle of the chase, but when he turned back to look, the two girls appeared to be trying to escape. He thought about it and gave up on chasing the monsters.
If I continue to chase, I might trigger the Trial Mission at the university's underground morgue. Now that Zhang Ya has not woken up, I'd better keep a low profile.
Chen Ge stopped moving. There was another reason why he made this decision. The underground corridor was complicated, and it was not good for him.
After I leave this place, I need to start preparing. At least, I need to get a map of the underground morgue.
Chen Ge put down the hammer and started to walk back. When the two girls saw him, they were shaking in fear. They wanted to leave, but they did not dare.
After having Xu Yin return to the tape, Chen Ge stood in the dark corridor and did not let Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian see his face.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
He was originally the kind of person who was more optimistic, but perhaps because he had spent too much time with the Specters, there was a very contradictory air about him.
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian did not dare move, especially Liu Xianxian, who looked like she was about to faint.
"Even though it's hard to be discovered in a place like this, and there's plenty of time to deal with the evidence and clues, don't worry, I won't do that." Chen Ge held the hammer with both hands. "Actually, I just want to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer them honestly."
