Free Web NovelChapter 1489: Chapter 906: It’s Coming (3)
Compared to Chen Moting and Zhou Mingxiao, she was undoubtedly lucky. She had already acquired a lot of new information, and standing behind her were Yang Xiao, Chen Nang, Jiang Qingluan, and everyone betting she could win.
"Munan... survive!" Munan cheered for herself, and at this moment, the DV screen silently lit up.
Just like the information left by Mr. Zhou Mingxiao, there was a countdown at the bottom left corner of the screen, with less than 12 minutes remaining now.
This time the screen seemed to have problems; the left side was relatively clear, but the right half was oddly blurred, as if covered by a milky-white mist. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
At this moment, the DV camera was pointed toward the other side of the plaza, yet the scene displayed on the screen was the complete opposite direction. More terrifying was that Munan actually saw herself in the lens.
Although it was still far away, the image was just a point not much bigger than a pixel, but unmistakably, it was her, as she was the only living person in the entire plaza.
Munan kept adjusting the lens, shifting it left and right. She instinctively avoided Rongjin Building, unwilling to bring misfortune to teammates still holding out inside. freeweɓnøvel.com
The scene in the screen was getting closer to her, based on some markers she could now roughly determine the position of the ghost.
She cautiously looked over there, it was a flowerbed, with a lawn behind it planted with many trees.
When her sight passed a certain spot under the trees, Munan’s pupils shrank; she didn’t see anything special, but a sudden sense of panic surged in her heart, immediately urging her to flee.
Staying... would mean death! This was a subconscious thought emerging in her mind, the terror of this thing far exceeded her imagination.
Nearby, somewhere, the ghost was there; she just couldn’t see it.
Fear surged like a tide, almost swallowing her; especially as the image on the screen became clearer, with her size turning from a point into a blurred humanoid, gradually becoming clear enough to distinguish the head and limbs, even faintly see her holding something. The ghost was getting closer!
Munan was still enduring with clenched teeth; she now understood the fear Chen Moting and Zhou Mingxiao had experienced. This was truly an inhuman torment; staying under such circumstances without running was foolish!
She didn’t run because she knew the "Yinren" legend, but as that thing got closer, Munan was struggling to hold on. Every time she looked toward that direction, the courage in her heart was stripped away.
This was a gamble; she didn’t know if her choice was right, as the so-called "Yinren" was just a myth from Japan, and this wasn’t Japan, it was Huaxia, so whether the rules applied was uncertain.
If she won the bet, she would live; if there was any deviation, it would lead to a dead end.
According to the acquired information, staying still would ensure survival, but Munan’s instincts told her that continuing like this was a dead end.
She had always trusted her instincts; her perception and judgment were precise, and it was due to this extraordinary perception that she could repeatedly escape during missions and survive till now.
But now, there was no other way. Munan steeled her heart and decided to take a gamble, determined to stay put today and confront it.
She became smarter, choosing not to look at the ghost, pretending it didn’t exist, that all of this was an illusion.
To be safe, she pulled out her phone and started recording.
"I am Munan. Everything aligns with Mr. Zhou’s account. I can’t see the ghost, but I can perceive its presence, and it is gradually approaching me."
"This DV has something peculiar; its screen seems like the ghost’s eye. The lens constantly locks onto me, affecting people’s minds - the closer it gets, the scarier the influence becomes, now I really feel like turning around and fleeing."
Munan took a deep breath and continued recording: "The ghost’s speed is not fast, but I guess it’s because I didn’t run. Mr. Zhou said we couldn’t outrun this ghost; I believe he was right."
The ghost’s movement was indeed slow; with each passing second, the closer it got to Munan, the more sluggish its actions became. This gave Munan a lot of confidence, her eyes brightened.
"Good news, the ghost slows down as it gets closer to me. There’s still 3 minutes left; the ghost is... not far away, about seven or eight meters from me, perhaps... perhaps even closer!"
"I’ve discovered a problem, don’t look straight at it - the more you look, the more fear increases; this ghost likely affects us through being ’seen’, which is crucial! Although we still can’t see it even when looking."
"During this time, I haven’t looked toward its direction, and I feel much better now; my body isn’t as cold, its influence on me is diminishing!"
A moment later, Munan’s voice continued with a sense of post-crisis excitement, "There’s less than a minute left, I have a feeling we guessed right this time! This is the true way to break the game!"
But a few seconds later, she suddenly shivered, her voice changing immediately, becoming urgent and fearful, "What’s happening? It... it suddenly sped up, it’s coming, it chose me!"
