Volume 1: Lonely Town Wraith Chapter 1: Black Despair
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
His breathing became increasingly rapid, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
In a dark and gloomy floor corridor, in this huge building that is almost like a maze, He Fei is currently sitting on the corner of the corridor, breathing heavily.
He was very tired and exhausted, and wanted to fall asleep immediately, but he couldn't rest because
That 'thing' is still nearby!
Evil spirit!
No, to be precise, it should be an earthbound spirit, something that humans cannot deal with at all, and a terrifying spirit that far exceeds human imagination.
It's been three days, three full days, three days of being hunted in this closed building with dozens of floors.
He could neither escape nor fight against the evil spirit. In order not to be killed, but also to survive, He Fei had no choice but to deal with it in the building.
During this period, he tried every means to get rid of the evil spirit, but unfortunately, no matter where he escaped, it was useless. The evil spirit chased him like a tarsal maggot from beginning to end, and he was almost killed several times during this period.
.
But, if you don't escape, it's impossible. If you don't escape, you will die.
So, He Fei hid in the building like a bereaved dog for three days, feeling terrified all day long.
Until today, until the last day of the mission.
Wow
At this moment, just as He Fei was hanging on for breath, before he could catch his breath, a voice, a harsh noise similar to when there was no signal on the radio, appeared out of thin air, appeared next to his ears, and echoed throughout the corridor.
Ding!
But it was precisely this sound that sounded to He Fei's ears like hearing a death knell, causing his complexion to change drastically. In addition to his heart trembling suddenly, his body that was originally sitting on the ground also jumped up in an instant.
Immediately, he shot forward like a sharp arrow, running fast without looking back, and fled madly towards the corridor on the right.
Here we come, ‘it’ is chasing us again!
At the same time, as He Fei was escaping, the camera shifted to the left side of the corridor, to the direction from which the sound came, and saw a looming red thing moving slowly deep in the dark corridor.
As the red color got closer, I suddenly saw what kind of red thing it was. It was clearly a woman in a red dress with disheveled hair!
If you observe carefully, you can further find that the woman in the red dress is not walking on two feet when moving, but floating in mid-air, and continues to move in the direction of He Fei's escape while floating.
And the weird thing is that on the surface, the woman in the red dress appears to be moving very slowly, but in fact it is frighteningly fast. The reason is that every time she floats a certain distance, the woman in the red dress will disappear out of thin air, and the next second she will appear out of thin air ten meters ahead.
Outside, He Fei, who was running wildly, seemed to be getting closer and closer.
At this moment, the woman in the red dress was moving in this way, chasing after the human being.
In front of
Da da da da!
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
The sound of footsteps and heavy breathing resounded around him, and his escape began again. He Fei ran around along the dark corridor again. Although he never looked back, he knew very well that the woman in the red dress behind him was still chasing him.
, and what can you do? That 'thing' is completely invincible, and doesn't even have an entity. What else can you do if you don't run away?
You can only escape, you can only escape like before. If you don't escape, you will die. You will be caught and killed by the earth-bound spirit. The only hope of survival is to persist until the mission time is over. Once the mission time limit is reached, you will be killed.
He will return in an instant, to that place that he hates but is absolutely safe.
While running, I glanced down at my watch and saw that the time had reached 11:50.
10 minutes!
There are only 10 minutes left, as long as you persist for 10 minutes, you can survive!
Sure enough, when he realized that the mission was about to end, even though He Fei was extremely tired and his legs were as heavy as lead, he still gritted his teeth and persisted, driven by this hope.
"Ugh!"
Da da da da da!
He suddenly let out a loud roar, and his legs suddenly exerted force, causing his body that was running slower and slower due to exhaustion to speed up again.
He Fei tried his best, he was currently running with too much life force.
Time passed by minute by second. He didn’t know how long he had run, nor how many corridors or stairs he passed. Through the floor numbers, He Fei only knew that he was back on the 24th floor, which he had passed so many times in the past three days. However, he arrived here.
, He Fei's physical energy has been exhausted, completely and completely exhausted. It can be said that now he can't even walk, let alone run.
Yes, the three-day horrific experience and continuous escape exhausted all his physical energy. Even if he could run with perseverance a few minutes ago, human physical energy is limited after all. When physical energy reaches a certain level, even if you have perseverance, you will not be able to survive.
The mind is still clear, but the body will reject the brain's instructions on its own.
The result is
Plop!
In reality, when He Fei rushed along the stairs to the 24th floor, he was about to head to the next floor. Unexpectedly, his body became unstable for an instant, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Similarly, when the body fell to the ground, in addition to subconsciously feeling a cold feeling on the back, a wailing sound also instantly surged in my mind:
It’s over, dead, 5 minutes left, only the last 5 minutes left!!!
Behind him is the woman in the red dress. As expected, once he stops escaping, given the opponent's speed, he will be caught in a few seconds at most!
Get up, get up, get up and keep running, get up quickly.
At present, He Fei is lying on the ground and falling into despair, with an expression of pain on his face, and his brain is constantly sending out warnings of danger coming from behind, warning that he is about to die!
But, he couldn't get up, really couldn't get up!
In despair, He Fei closed his eyes and chose to wait for death.
However
What is strange and incomprehensible is
After falling to the ground for a long time, I thought that the woman in the red dress who had been chasing me from behind would rush towards me, and I also thought that the earth-bound spirit would take advantage of me to lose strength and fall to the ground to kill me, but...
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement around, and he was still alive.
Um?
Finally, He Fei, who noticed something was wrong, opened his eyes again, and looked back behind him with all sorts of suspicions, looking down the stairs.
In the field of vision, the stairs were completely empty. Where could there be a woman in a red dress?
The earthbound spirit is missing?
He was obviously chasing me before, why?
"this"
Seeing this scene, He Fei not only secretly said he was lucky, but also felt a strong sense of confusion.
He didn't understand, he didn't understand. He didn't understand why the evil spirit, which was always cruel and murderous, let him go, nor did he understand why the other party disappeared for no reason.
Of course, if you don't understand it, how can He Fei think about these problems in reality? He Fei, who was overjoyed and took action immediately after confirming that the woman in the red dress had disappeared.
"Woo"
rustle
Gritting his teeth, he began to crawl, using his hands and feet together, towards a door on the right.
It was obvious that although his physical energy was exhausted and he was unable to run or even walk, at least he still did not dare to stay in the corridor openly. At times like this, finding a room to hide was undoubtedly the best option.
Anyway, the mission time is about to end, as long as you persist until 12 o'clock, then you will not have to worry about it, and you will no longer have to worry about being chased by evil spirits.
He thought so, and in fact He Fei did exactly that. As the crawling continued, and the door was easily pushed open, He Fei soon entered the room, which was no different from other rooms around it.
Empty office.
He closed the door and climbed to an office chair to sit down. After sitting down, He Fei stopped moving and was alone in the room, breathing heavily while sitting on the office chair.
"Hoo, ho"
He was panting and waiting. When the task time was over, he raised his wrist with difficulty and looked at his watch. The time had reached 11:59.
One minute!
Before you know it, only the last minute is left!
And all I have to do is get through this last minute!
How long is a minute? A mere 60 seconds can be said to be fleeting.
Survived, I, I finally survived!
Seeing this, He Fei showed a smile, and his heart, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed greatly.
But, at this moment, when He Yefei relaxed and thought he would survive,
squeak
Accompanied by the sudden sound of the door opening, right in front, the door that had been closed by He Fei himself half a minute ago was reopened!
It opened by itself and slowly, mixed with the harsh sound of wood friction, the door was pushed open from the outside.
In the room, He Fei froze instantly!
He was stunned on the spot, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a pale white color in an instant!
He knew what this meant, and he even knew who pushed the door open!
If possible, he would like to escape immediately, but unfortunately, in the current situation, not to mention that his physical strength has been exhausted and he cannot move. Even if he is full of physical strength, he still cannot escape.
The reason is that this is not the outside world, not a corridor, but a closed room with walls on all sides! The only door that serves as an exit is now blocked.
At this moment, He Fei understood, understood. He suddenly understood something, or he finally understood why the woman in the red dress disappeared just now.
turn out to be
Everything is a trap, completely a trap!
The purpose is to make yourself unable to escape and completely become a turtle in the urn.
The result was as expected. As the door slowly opened, and He Fei's face became increasingly pale, the door was completely pushed open. Next, there was a series of creepy female laughter:
"Hehe, hehehehehe"
Along with the laughter, there was a woman in a red dress floating in the air, and an earthbound spirit that was slowly approaching him!
The woman in the red dress reappeared, but this time, He Fei had no way to escape. He sat motionless on the office chair, just watching the woman in the red dress approach him, waiting for the final outcome to come.
Soon, the woman in the red dress floated to He Fei's side without any accident, and stopped in front of him. The distance between the two sides was even less than half a meter!
At this moment, in this rather dark closed room, one person and one evil spirit were looking at each other, and no one made any move.
Perhaps he was curious about this human being who had managed to escape every time in the past three days, and perhaps he wanted He Fei to die. When he arrived at the young man's side, the hair of the woman in the red dress that covered her face suddenly started to flutter.
The wind automatically started to separate towards the two sides.
Then
What caught He Fei's eyes was a pair of terrifying eyes as red as blood and a hideous face as pale as paper!
The earth-bound spirit, this earth-bound spirit that had killed countless people, finally showed its true appearance in front of He Fei.
However, to He Fei, these are no longer important. What is important is that he knows that he is going to die and can no longer escape. After struggling for so long, he will eventually die.
In fact, that's right. In the face of evil spirits of the level of earthbound spirits, how can humans possibly escape?
"Hehehehe"
The result was as expected. After she let out a series of breathtaking chuckles again, the woman stretched out her hand. Under He Fei's completely dull gaze, she stretched out her palm, raised the pale palm that was as white as her face, and slowly
He slowly reached towards the door facing He Fei.
What follows is an incomprehensible scene:
As the woman's palm continued to get closer, for some reason, the area around the palm began to blur, the space began to gradually distort, and even ripples appeared!
Space distortion!
It is the unique spatial ability of the Earthbound Spirit!
Others don't know, but He Fei, who is a veteran, knows that once an ordinary spirit reaches the level of Earthbound Spirit, it will master the most terrifying spatial abilities. Not only that, in addition to controlling space, it can also use spatial abilities.
kill.
As for the teammates who entered this mission with He Fei, they all fell under the spatial ability of the woman in the red dress earlier. Without exception, they were pulled into a different space by this earth-bound spirit and disappeared without a trace.
In the end, I was the only one left.
At this moment, listening to the oozing laughter and witnessing the ripples in space getting closer to his face, He Fei knew that his life was about to end.
The only strange thing is
Knowing that he was about to die and knowing that he had no escape, except for his initial expression of fear, after it was confirmed that he had no chance of survival, the fear disappeared from He Fei's face. He neither struggled, screamed nor cried and begged.
Instead, he showed a wry smile at the last moment of his life.
The wry smile was mixed with a little regret.
It's such a pity, it's such a pity. I didn't expect to be killed at the last minute.
Forget it, I've tried my best and persisted until now. Although I regret it, I have nothing to say. Maybe it's time to get rid of it.
Thinking of this, He Fei smiled. He no longer looked at the space distortion that was getting closer and closer, but instead looked up upwards, towards the dim roof. It seemed that there were many memories hidden in the dimness with unclear vision.
It is often said that time passes slowly when people are about to die. It is true. In reality, the distorted space is gradually approaching the body, but He Fei doesn't care. He just looks up and stares, smiles, stares.
In the darkness, and with that smile, He Fei fell into memories, recalling all kinds of past.
My thoughts can't help but fly to the past, to myself when I first came to space a year ago.
