Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Did you see that in Chapter 70? That's the evacuation point.

"found it."

The evil spirit behind the stairs turned around, its hideous face looming in the shadows of the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, a smile emerged from the darkness, accompanied by an extremely sinister tone.

The evil spirit felt reassured and began to chase after the direction in which the paper figure had disappeared.

As long as we can find traces of these people, there's nothing to worry about; this corridor is not a place that's easy to escape from.

On the other side, Yan Ming led the other four paper figures forward at a rapid pace.

After turning the corner, they were only two or three steps away from the sea of ​​scraps of paper.

However, these two or three steps are for them in their human form. As paper dolls, these steps are undoubtedly like an insurmountable chasm.

"boom!"

Heavy footsteps followed closely behind them. The evil spirit wasn't walking fast, but its strides were long, making it incredibly easy for it to catch up with their short legs.

As he ran, Yan Ming quickly twisted the paper 180 degrees and glanced back.

Just then, around the corner behind me, the voice of the evil spirit blocked out the light, casting a large shadow into the corridor, which grew longer and longer.

It's getting close!
Yan Ming had seen this evil spirit's lineup in the node area on the first floor before. It was a monster with a broad back and a burly waist that looked like a jackal, and its overall appearance was like the wolf grandmother in a fairy tale.

Its eyes gleamed with a murderous glint, yet it also possessed a cunning that seemed incongruous with its robust physique. Overall, it was the most ferocious of the evil spirits on the five-story building.

Compared to the level of eeriness, Yan Ming still felt that these ferocious evil spirits guarding the floors would be more troublesome, because escaping might no longer be something that could be accomplished simply by intelligence.

Rather, it's about physical strength, luck, or willpower.

Yan Ming felt a cold sweat, like paper wool, sliding down his back. He turned around and looked at the sea of ​​paper wool that was so close yet so far away.

No, the evil spirit has already caught up; they definitely won't have time to hide in the paper scraps.

So Yan Ming made a quick decision, grabbed the paper figures on both sides, and plunged into the room next door.

Although the dormitory room doors were closed, since the five of them were paper figures with almost no thickness, they could easily slip into the dormitory room by squeezing through the crack in the door.

The five of them crawled forward simultaneously, their short legs constantly pushing and pulling, until finally, after the evil spirit had completely passed the corner, they hid in the dormitory room.

The next second, the evil spirit appeared in the corridor.

"what?"

Looking at the calm corridor in front of it, it was momentarily confused.

How can those damn guys be so good at dodging?

Where did it run off to again?
The evil spirit snorted angrily, then strode over and stepped into the wad of paper.

If I'm not mistaken, they must be hiding somewhere...

"Ok?"

The evil spirit tossed the paper scraps in front of it. Its eyes were incredibly sharp, but it still couldn't find any trace of the five little paper figures among the scraps.

The feeling of repeatedly letting prey slip through its fingers was unpleasant, but it immediately realized what was happening after calming down.

If it weren't hiding in the lint...

That means it can only be this dormitory room at the bottom of the stairs.

A confident smile appeared on the evil spirit's face. It was certain that these paper figures couldn't have gone too far, so it turned around and pushed open the dormitory room door.

Everything in the dormitory room was arranged neatly.

The floor, the bed, the desk, the cabinet—all these surfaces were covered with a thin layer of paper, like snow piled on top of them.

Therefore, if a paper figure were to pass by, these paper scraps would definitely react, and those traces would be enough to be fatal evidence.

But no.

Nothing in front of me had changed; the paper figures did not seem to have entered the dormitory room.

The evil spirit was full of questions, but it still stubbornly looked down at the bed and then at the gap under the cabinet, repeatedly checking the whereabouts of the paper figures. Unfortunately, it couldn't find any of these places where people could hide.

"Impossible, you can't escape, you must be right here."

The evil spirit muttered these words, having checked the floor, walls, and even the ceiling of the corridor, and could no longer be fooled by things like plaster.

If it's not in the hallway, then it must be in the room right in front of us, and it must be hiding secretly in the lint on the floor.

It must be.

So the gnoll spirit began to sweep the scraps of paper on the ground, carefully observing the ground as the scraps flew, and also paying attention to the situation inside those scraps.

There was only a thin layer of paper in the dormitory room, which could not possibly conceal five tightly connected and inseparable paper figures.

It's impossible!

At the same time, Yan Ming and the others had already arrived in the corridor.

Unlike the hysterical evil spirits in the dormitory rooms, they moved stealthily, making sure not to make a sound even if they walked slowly.

It wasn't difficult to evade the evil spirit's search, because Yan Ming and the others didn't choose to hide in the dark corners of the room after passing through the crack in the door.

At Yan Ming's signal, they crouched behind the door, waiting for the evil spirit to open it.

When the evil spirit opened the door, Yan Ming and his group were naturally pushed behind it. Then they listened to the evil spirit's movements. When the evil spirit started looking for them, that would be their chance to slip through the crack in the door and return to the corridor.

This is a very simple principle, similar to the saying "the darkest place is under the lamp."

Yan Ming and his group disappeared into the sea of ​​paper scraps, as if they had regained their freedom. They finally relaxed a lot, feeling like birds flying freely in the sky.

After traversing the sea of ​​paper scraps for a while, they gradually moved away from the evil spirit. It was only then that Yan Ming and the others noticed that the corridor was normal.

When I was walking down the corridor in my human form, everything seemed like an illusion.

The corridor used to stretch endlessly, but now it was arranged in neat rows.

Although the sky and earth are still vast for them as paper figures, they can always see the end of the world at a glance.

Just then, Lu Mingzhe noticed that the door to a dormitory room in the middle of the corridor was ajar. He pulled Yan Ming aside and gestured for him to go take a look in that direction.

Yan Ming thought about it and nodded in agreement.

the reason is simple.

This room was originally the node area on the first floor, and it is also the "resurrection point" where Li Yan might appear.

He remembered that the door wasn't originally like this. If Li Yan had successfully entered the escape mission and hadn't been killed by the evil spirit on the first floor, he might have been hiding nearby.

The evil spirit on the first floor originally came from this direction.

As the group entered the room, their eyes were immediately drawn to the corpse hanging from the rafters.

"crooked……"

He Lian looked up at the giant-like suspended corpse and let out a very faint sound.

Li Yan ultimately reverted to being a corpse; he couldn't change his fate.

Yan Ming shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

But at that moment, the ghost eye on Li Yan's forehead suddenly opened, followed by his own eye.

The instant he saw the paper figure on the ground, Li Yan quickly and methodically recounted everything he had discovered:

"Look out the window, that's the evacuation point!"

"After the escape mission began, the dormitory building reverted to its state more than 20 years ago, including the evacuation point behind the building!"

"That hole is open!"

"It's in a state of waiting to be evacuated!"
