Chapter 290: Back of the Head

Manju Sawa huddled in a room, listening intently to the sounds outside the door.

Not long ago, she met Nine Lives, who was also a hunter.

And the survivor who connected with Nine Lives, "Life Peace 658", told Nine Lives that two escapees were being followed by ghosts in the office building, and hoped that he could tell the two escapees through other hunters that he was being followed.

When he connected the phone, Jiumei was on his way to the Café de Coral supermarket, and he had already guessed that the game of hide and seek might cause restrictions on ghosts, so now his mind had already been put on how to restrain ghosts, and the matter of catching survivors had been forgotten.

So of course he didn't bother to notify the hunters to help deliver the news, even if the survivors in this copy were all wiped out, it had nothing to do with him, so Nine Lives didn't care about it at all.

Although he didn't plan to care about the escapees, after answering the phone, Jiumei happened to meet Manju Sawa who was alone.

There was nothing to lose by telling her about it, and Nine Lives immediately told Manju Sawa about it without much care.

However, the Survivor who connected to Manju Sawa was a player called "This nickname has been taken", and was not one of the two who were being followed.

Although she had no way to inform the two survivors who were being stalked by the ghosts, she had other thoughts in her mind.

"I came here in such a hurry to pick up a leak...... Even if the ghost does attack, there can always be one of the two survivors who escapes, right? If you run away, you will definitely run down," Manju Sawa muttered to himself as he hid in front of the room at the top of the fifteenth staircase, "but why is it that after all this time, there is no movement at all?" ”

She had already gone up to the nineteenth floor, but to be on the safe side, she went down a few more floors, and finally chose to hide on the fifteenth floor.

She is hiding here, just to block the escapees that are running downward.

There are two Survivors, and as long as the ghost chases one of them, the other Survivor will be able to escape.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The ghost is chasing the other survivors, and he must not have the time to take care of this side of the matter.

As long as you hide here, you have a high chance of succeeding!

No one could have imagined that a hunter would chase a survivor in danger of being caught by a ghost.

Manzhu Sawa waited quietly: "Could it be that the ghost on the way here has already done something to the two survivors?" ”

"No, I'm fast enough...... In order to get over in time, he even used a special item, that ghost shouldn't have done it yet, I'll wait a little longer......"

She thought as she moved her head in the darkness, keeping her ears a little further away from the doorway.

Sure enough, she didn't have to wait long before the silence was broken by the sound of a hurried descent from the stairs.

Manju Sawa pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Ji Bieli listened to the sound upstairs, and there seemed to be no movement on it, which means that the thing just now did not follow.

She breathed a sigh of relief and hid in the doorway and bent down slightly.

Luckily, I was able to run fast......

Her mind spun rapidly as she thought.

The doctor who had been talking to her had told her that there was a hunter following her.

Now that she's run so many floors, why hasn't she met the hunter who is following her?

Could it be that the doctor who spoke to me just now was lying?

No, it's unlikely, if he's lying, he can't guess the location of the floor he belongs to so accurately.

By the way, what level is it now?

Ji Bideli thought about it while sticking out his head to look at the sticker on the wall next to him, this is the sixteenth floor.

"Sixteenth floor...... she retracted her head again, "I have only run down seven floors and I have no strength, because it took too much effort to climb the stairs before......"

But why hasn't the hunter been shown by the doctor?

Ji Bieli remembered that the person who spoke to him just now said that the hunter had reached the nineteenth floor, but now that he had gone down to the sixteenth floor, he didn't see the shadow of that person.

She held her breath slightly, listening to the movement outside.

If the hunter was still there, he would have reached the nineteenth floor, right?

There was still no movement from above, and the hunter could not have been dealt with by the ghost, and she had speculated that the ghost could not attack the hunter.

Why didn't you meet anyone? It's weird.

At this time, Ji Bieli had already rested, and she came out from behind the door: "Don't care about the hunter for now, the ghost above may come down at any time, I have to leave this ghost place quickly......"

She muttered to herself as she walked up the stairs.

But just as she was taking her first steps, something suddenly felt something wasn't quite right.

"I made such a big noise just now, and if there were hunters nearby, I would definitely follow the sound, but so far I haven't heard anyone else move."

"I made such a loud noise, and the hunters didn't show up, which shows ...... She hid it on purpose! ”

Why do they deliberately hide, hunters will never be afraid of escapees and other hunters, they are only afraid of ghosts, and it is the hunter who follows them who knows that there are ghosts in this building!

In an instant, Ji Bieli suddenly understood why he hadn't even encountered the hunters who were following him so many floors.

She looked at the black staircase in front of her, as if the staircase in front of her was no longer a staircase, but a passage to hell.

"Now that we know that there are ghosts on it, the hunters will definitely take a conservative approach and stay away from the ghosts...... The hunters who have reached the nineteenth floor have definitely repented of the floor below."

If it just escapes, forget it, but what if the hunter doesn't run away?

And Ji Farewell didn't hear the sound of someone running away in a hurry before he left.

"There's a good chance that person is still hiding in this building! Right on the floor below, waiting for me to run down and grab ......"

No way! Absolutely can't go down!

For a moment, Ji Bieli was in a dilemma.

Upwards are ghosts, and downwards are ambushed hunters.

Now it's a dead end, both up and down.

The difference is that upwards may die a more miserable death, while downward falling into the hands of hunters may still die more comfortably.

But whether it's comfortable or not, it's a dead word in the end!

"Do you want to gamble? Did the hunter who stalked me escape from the building? ”

Ji Bieli took a deep breath and looked at the stairs of the black hole.

She knew she didn't have much time to choose.

The ghosts above will come down at any time, and the hunters hiding below will also go upstairs to check at any time.

And she had no idea what level the hunter was hiding on, and it was very likely that she would see the terrifying hunter around the corner.

What to do? What to do?

Ji Bieli now wants to ask for help.

But now there's no one else to talk to her where the bird doesn't.

The only thing that can communicate with the outside world is the mobile phone that I have a copy in my hand......

She thought for a few seconds, then retreated into the hallway with her phone in hand, chose a random room to enter, and then shrank in the corner and dialed.

As soon as Gu Mian bypassed the office building, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

You don't even need to look at it, it's definitely Ji Bieli calling, because this mobile phone can only talk to Ji Bieli.

Without much thought, he connected his phone.

Immediately after, a subtle voice came out of the microphone.

This voice was so small that Gu Mian almost thought that Ji Bieli was already angry and was about to die.

But it turns out that the player who connected with him is still alive and well, but he is alive and well now, and it is not necessarily whether he is still alive and well after a while.

On the phone, Ji Beili concisely and concisely described the current situation to Gu Mian, and it didn't take long, only a dozen seconds.

Most people will stammer and slurred their words in a nervous situation, but it is rare that Ji Bieli did not stutter, but said the truth, which made Gu Mian immediately understand her current situation.

In short, "there are silent ghosts upstairs, and silent hunters downstairs", ask which way to die.

Gu Mian really wanted to help her open up a third path, such as jumping from the window and trying something like that, of course, if she had the [Law of the Protagonist Jumping Off the Cliff and Not Dying], she could give it a try.

However, Ji Bieli obviously does not have this kind of artifact.

So Gu Mian put forward his opinion very sincerely: "Up." ”

As he spoke, he quickened his pace around the office building, Gu Mian originally wanted to come to this office building to see the ghost's face, but when he came downstairs, he suddenly found that there was a playground not far behind the office building.

The tall jumping machine is very conspicuous, although it can't continue to do any free-fall movement at this time.

"But there's a good chance you'll run into a ghost upward." Ji Bieli took a deep breath.

"You said that the ghost suddenly stopped moving when it was chasing you, I guess it may have stopped on a certain floor and is searching, and it is best to take the opportunity to go upstairs at this time, the ghost will never guess that you are back on the floor where you were hunted before."

Ji Bieli bit her lip: "Yes! You have a point...... But what if I go upstairs and it just finishes searching a floor and is going down the stairs? ”

Gu Mian touched his chin, he didn't tell Ji Beili that the ghost seemed to teleport this kind of thing.

In his cognition, if the ghost chasing the person suddenly stopped moving, it was most likely to teleport somewhere else.

In other words, it is very likely that the ghost is no longer in the upper echelons at this time.

However, it is only possible, and it is not certain.

Gu Mian said while thinking: "There is more than just one staircase in an office building, right? At least two. ”

Ji Bieli suddenly realized: "You want me to go up another staircase?" ”

"No," Gu Mian denied, "just go up the staircase you fled from." ”

Ji Bieli was a little stunned.

"Since the ghost will stop and search the level, it means that it also suspects that you will trick it with tricks, and judging by its capricious behavior in the dungeon, this ghost is not mentally retarded, and seems to be planning something; This kind of intelligent ghost will definitely suspect that you have slipped up another staircase and continued down the stairs. ”

When he said this, Gu Mian paused for a moment, and then continued: "You are standing on the staircase where you escaped now, right?" ”

Ji Bieli nodded and hummed, although he knew that the other party couldn't see him nodding.

"That's right," Gu Mian said, "I didn't hear the sound of going downstairs for a while, and it is very likely that the ghost has moved to another staircase, so you had better be fast, it will search your floor at any time." ”

Now Ji didn't ink anymore, and hung up the phone after thanking him.

She looked at the stairs in front of her, took a deep breath, and then lifted her feet and ran up quickly.

Gu Mian watched the other party hang up the phone, and put the phone back in his pocket.

It's likely that the ghost isn't in this building anymore, but it's always a good idea to be careful.

He thought as he continued to walk towards the amusement park in front of him.

Manju Sawa waited for a while, but did not wait for the people above to come down.

She couldn't bear the loneliness, slowly pushed open the door, and looked outside.

The hallway was dark, and the window at one end let in a little light, and the whole corridor was seen by this light.

Looking at the empty staircase, Manzhu Sawa frowned a little strangely: "It shouldn't be, why should you run down one, could it be that the ghost is so powerful that he killed the two survivors together?" ”

Just as she was talking to herself, she suddenly heard the sound of going up the stairs.

It's coming from overhead!

She's a spirit, could it be that the survivors above have already discovered me below?

But there are ghosts up there, and the survivors would rather go to the ghosts and die than come down?

Just as Manju Sawa took out his flashlight and was thinking about whether to catch up, another sound of going upstairs rang again.

This time, the voice came from below.

Manju Sawa immediately took two steps back, staring at the stairs in front of him with some wariness.

There were two people.

One goes up the stairs on top.

One was going up the stairs below, and the one below was getting closer and closer to her!

Alert, she listened intently to the movement below.

The sound below seemed to be a bit hasty, not quite like the sound that a ghost could make when he was going up the stairs.

Manju Sawa couldn't help but frown, and ducked behind the staircase door, waiting for the people below to come up.

If it's a survivor, that's fine......

She prayed silently.

Even if you don't catch the one above, it's not a big loss to catch the other one.

Sure enough, the footsteps on the upper floor were getting closer and closer, and it wasn't until the footsteps resounded on this floor that Manju Sawa could see the person clearly.

It's a person, but she hasn't seen it.

Hunters have met each other, and the raw faces are definitely survivors!

I saw this man sneakily ascending the stairs, it was a young man, and the distance between the two was so close at this time that Manju Sawa had even seen his nickname as a player.

"The nickname has been taken"

It happened to be the survivor who connected to his phone!

What a coincidence.

She shrank silently in the doorway, motionless, waiting for the unlucky ghost to be annihilated with another blow when she was closest to her!

Seeing that the survivors were getting closer and closer, they had almost reached the staircase of this level.

Manju Sawa was a little excited.

But at that moment, she suddenly realized that something was not quite right in the back of her head.
