Global Collapse

Chapter 688 was updated without interruption!

Soon, Hao Laoshi's conjecture was verified.

They heard a rustling sound coming from behind them. There was no one else there but them; it could only be the sound of a ghost!
The ghost is really here!

Hearing the sounds behind her, Lemon Not Sour ran forward with all her might.

Hao Laoshi, who had just said he didn't have the strength to run away, was now running at the front like he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Photos! Look at the second photo we took!" Wen Qin shouted to Lemon Not Sour.

Lemon Not Sour ran while looking at the photos in her hand.

The second photo they took barely showed this place, and she could vaguely see a blurry human figure in that spot in the photo—the image of a ghost.

The figure was reaching out, seemingly trying to grab the person in front of it.

The lemon isn't sour; its pupils contract. Who is it trying to catch?

Then the voice behind me gave the answer.

They heard a dragging sound behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Xu Xingcheng, who was at the very back, being grabbed by a ghost and dragged toward another road.

Almost instantly, Xu Xingcheng was dragged into that road and disappeared from their sight.

The two dared not look any longer and turned to run away.

Xu Xingcheng's death gave them a little breathing room, and the group fled frantically.

Hao Laoshi glanced back in fear. He remembered that Xu Xingcheng was Gu Mian's teammate, but he never expected him to die like this.

"What should we do? We can't stay on this road any longer, can we?" Wen Qin Tanjiu said as she ran, glancing at the lemon beside her.

“The ghost already knows our plan, and it will definitely pay more attention to this road. We probably won’t be able to use the photos to avoid it in the future.” Lemon Not Sour was somewhat desperate; their little hope had just been extinguished.

"The most important thing now is to shake off this devil and run in different directions!" shouted Hao Laoshi, who was at the front.

The group immediately decided to split up and escape when they reached the next intersection.

But before they could reach the intersection, Lemon Not Sour saw the ghost chasing after them in the photo.

She was on the verge of collapse: "It's too late, the ghost is catching up!"

After killing Xu Xingcheng, the ghost didn't linger and went straight for them.

Lemon Not Sour watched the ghost in the photo get closer and closer. She couldn't estimate the distance between the ghost and herself, but it felt very close, very close.

A chill ran down my spine, and fear began to spread throughout my body.

She knew the ghost was already behind her.

Wen Qin, who was standing next to him, felt the same way. His hair stood on end, and he felt a malicious force pressing against him from behind.

A sense of despair welled up inside me.

They should have known this would be the outcome.

When you know that your way out has been destroyed, you should think that you may lose your life here.

This is already a dungeon with no way out; everyone will die...

The two felt the chill behind them getting closer and closer, until it was almost touching their backs.

"It's over," the two thought to themselves.

Wen Qin felt a weight on her shoulder as she drank, as if something had been placed on it.

He turned to look at his shoulder, but could see nothing.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force pulled him backward.

Wen Qintang, in the final moments of her life, let out a fearful roar.

"Help!"

Lemon Not Sour turned to look at Wen Qin Tanjiu, who was being dragged along by an invisible ghost. She desperately wanted to save her, but was powerless to do so. Now, all she could do was run for her life.

"I'm sorry." Lemon Not Sour turned and ran away with a sad heart.

But her sadness didn't last long before it was interrupted by someone suddenly appearing in front of her.

She stared blankly at the two bicycles that suddenly appeared in front of her. The people on the bicycles were the seemingly unreliable doctor and his bespectacled teammate.

She hadn't expected the two men to still be alive.

Hao Laoshi, who was in front, seemed to have gone mad. Upon seeing the person on the bicycle, he immediately stopped running and even turned around, pointing behind him and shouting, "The ghost is there!"

This statement was delivered with great righteousness, reminiscent of someone leading the enemy army into the city.

What's the point of telling other players where the ghost is now? Can you expect them to pull out a gun and shoot the ghost?
If lemons aren't sour, they think he's crazy.

But even crazier things were yet to come.

After hearing Hao Laoshi's words, the doctor on the bicycle showed an excited expression and then pedaled towards the direction of the ghost.

Gu Mian brushed past Lemon Not Sour with a "whoosh".

The lemon, not being sour, stood with its mouth open, even forgetting to run away.

She turned back, slightly dazed, to look at the doctor who was riding his bicycle toward the ghost: "Is this what he meant by holding back the ghost?"

Suicide attack?
He used his own life to hold back the ghosts, buying them time to escape.
Thinking of this, she immediately lifted her foot and continued running, hoping to use this little bit of time to escape the ghost's pursuit.

But she noticed that Hao Laoshi ahead had given up on running away. He had sat down on the road, fanning himself with his hand, looking in the direction of the ghost, like an old man watching the excitement from the sidelines.

"Run!" Lemon Not Sour shouted at him.

Hao Laoshi had been running all day and felt that if he kept running, he might die of exhaustion in the dungeon. When he saw Gu Mian arrive, he simply sat down by the roadside and stopped moving.

Lemon, not being sour, dared not imitate him; it simply ran forward with all its might.

While running, he kept an eye on the movements in the photos.

Suddenly she noticed that the ghost's pose in the photo had changed.

Previously, the ghost's actions involved dragging Wen Qin Tanjiu backward. Because it was dragging someone, the speed was not fast.

But at this moment, the ghost was like a mad dog whose tail had been stepped on, moving backward at a terrifying speed.

And judging from its gestures, it seems it's no longer dragging anyone.

Lemon didn't feel sour and immediately looked back, only to see that Wen Qin had indeed been released!
He was scrambling and stumbling towards them, with a doctor in a white coat riding a bicycle relentlessly behind him.

How is this going?

The lemon wasn't sour, which surprised me.

The ghost not only let Wen Qintang drink, but also turned around and ran away?

What the hell is going on?
Wen Qin had the same question when talking about wine. Since he didn't have the photo, he ran over to Lemon Not Sour and said, "You're standing here without moving. Did the ghost leave?"

“Yes…” Lemon Doesn’t Sour looked at the photo in his hand with a strange expression, “The ghost… ran away.”

"Could it be that I triggered a path to survival when I broke free from it?" Wen Qin Tan Jiu was convinced that she had broken free from the ghost.

"No, I'm afraid not." Lemon-Not-Sour shook his head. "Didn't you see the doctor on the bicycle?"

Wen Qin was so engrossed in talking about her struggles with the wine that she didn't pay any attention to her surroundings.

He then turned around and saw only Gu Mian's gradually disappearing figure.

"He...he's our teammate, right?" Wen Qin Tanji stared at the direction the ghost had gone, mouth agape. "Is he insane?"

Why did we head towards the direction of the ghost?

Lemon Not Sour calmly analyzed: "After he arrived, he went straight for the ghost. I think the reason the ghost let you go and ran away was because of him... I think he found another way to survive, and found a way to restrain the ghost, so the ghost avoided him like this."

A small white bump has appeared on my eye, and it hurts when I blink. (Sobbing emoji)
