Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1475: Chapter 903: Encounter_2

No wonder... no wonder that guy Chu Xi emphasized repeatedly the need to relocate promptly and not stay in one place too long. So, this is why!

And Zhang Jianjun had never heard this Ghost’s footsteps, which means the Ghost didn’t need to walk over, but instead "teleported" after pinpointing his location with its toes.

This was terrifying, even just imagining it in his mind sent chills down Zhang Jianjun’s spine.

"We can’t stay here, we must go, immediately!"

After confirming the Ghost’s method of locating people, Zhang Jianjun felt more confident. He crawled out from under the desk, specifically avoiding the direction the Ghost’s shoe tip was pointing, running in the opposite direction, this time choosing to escape into the corridor connected to the office.

And indeed, it was as he thought. The Ghost relies on its shoes’ tips to find people, not by sight or hearing, since this Ghost doesn’t have a head at all.

A headless body stood straight in the northeast corner of the office, which was Zhang Jianjun’s previous hiding place. The Headless Ghost showed no reaction to Zhang Jianjun passing by at a close distance from behind. freēwebnovel.com

"That’s right, it’s exactly like that!"

Zhang Jianjun let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe. These Ghosts were terrifying, but if you figured out their killing method and avoided it reasonably, then these Ghosts were merely scary in appearance.

Through observation and judgment, Zhang Jianjun not only saved himself but also found the killing pattern of a Chang Ghost, which was a huge contribution to the entire team.

It’s important to know, this Headless Ghost was not an ordinary Chang Ghost. Those disfigured burnt ghosts were the lowest in the Ghost hierarchy, while the Headless Ghost was on par with the Waist-breaking Ghost and the Hanging Ghost.

Zhang Jianjun wasn’t speaking nonsense as ever since this Headless Ghost appeared, the burnt ghosts had never shown up again, similar to what happened with the Waist-breaking Ghost.

After a simple observation and confirming no other clues on the Headless Ghost, Zhang Jianjun quickly left. Meanwhile, he wasn’t wasting time and had been calculating, calculating the time it took for the Headless Ghost’s shoe tip to rotate.

About 7 or 8 minutes, that’s the time the Headless Ghost needs to move to a new position.

As soon as the time is up, it "teleports" over, and it doesn’t matter where you hide; you will be found.

Knowing this pattern, Zhang Jianjun set a rule for himself: he would not hide in one place for more than 5 minutes. Once the time is up, he moves immediately.

The Ghost won’t last too long, and if he holds on for a while longer, he can completely evade the Ghost’s pursuit.

Upon reaching the corridor, Zhang Jianjun stayed nearby and hid in a room close to the office because he hadn’t forgotten another mission for the night, to stay and assist the two key teammates, Munan Chen Nang.

Yes, just those two people, because he didn’t think the emergency kit Yang Yan could survive.

He nearly died dealing with just one Headless Ghost, let alone the mission core area task tonight with Munan Chen Nang three people; casualties were almost inevitable.

Hiding behind the door with his back against the wall, Zhang Jianjun constantly calculated the time in his mind, and meanwhile, he silently prayed for Munan Chen Nang, "You must succeed..."

...

On the other side, on the 18th floor of Rongjin Building, near the center area, two people were feeling their way forward one after another in the corridor.

They were Munan and Yang Yan, with Munan holding a DV camera in front.

According to the hand-drawn map by Zhou Mingxiao, they were already very close to the area where the DV camera was found, and this area was also filled with unknown risks.

Under Munan’s guidance, the two had successfully avoided the pursuit of two burnt ghosts, during which Yang Yan was scared silly, her legs not obeying, forgot to run. It was Munan raising her little hand and reminding Yang Yan who she was, where she was, and what she should do.

The result was that Yang Yan’s cheeks on both sides were swollen, each carrying a handprint.

"Munan, thank you, really... really thank you." Walking behind, with swollen cheeks, Yang Yan continuously thanked Munan with genuineness, though a bit slurred in speech.

Walking at the front, Munan didn’t turn her head, raised her hand and waved, indicating it was a small matter.

"Munan, how far is it?" Having narrowly escaped death, Yang Yan recovered a bit, vigilantly glancing around as she asked in a low voice.

"Just follow along, and no more nonsense. Don’t call names, report if there’s something." Saving her was just lending a hand, Munan didn’t care, but only wished that she wouldn’t speak nonsense to interfere with her judgment.

This time, she’s been uneasy; Chen Nang had been gone for a while but still hadn’t come to join them, leaving her unsure of the situation.

Munan didn’t want him to die; he was a very capable teammate, he could help share the pressure, and she was sure he wouldn’t flee in panic.

There was no other reason than that he was smart enough to know the significance of tonight to all of them.

They didn’t have much time. They must find the critical clue tonight, that film named "Yinren."

Otherwise, even if they survive tonight, what about tomorrow night, or the night after?

Oh, they had forgotten, they already lacked enough night watch team members.

By the day after tomorrow evening, before sunset, they must finish this mission, or else they face total annihilation.

Chen Nang was a smart person; he understood this well. So tonight, they both would go all out, even if it meant paying a price and taking some risks.
