Chapter 613 Fear Is Spreading

The monster looked like it had just climbed out of the pool. I couldn't hear the footsteps, but I could hear the strange sound of ticking.

This sound kept echoing in my ears, making my heart beat faster. I looked at the road ahead and was hesitant.

"It's coming."

The three of us sped up and ran towards the safe passage on the left.

Now that we were exposed, we didn’t bother covering our tracks. The whole corridor echoed with the noise the three of us made.

The wards and windows on both sides receded rapidly, and soon Chen Mo couldn't keep up with the team. Zhang Heng ran to the first one. I also had the idea of ​​abandoning Chen Mo, but then I thought about it again.

Chen Mo is still useful. He might be able to become my helper in the future. He has value in him.

I was worried, turned around and shouted to him: "Give me your hand!"

Chen Mo was leaning on a tree branch and hopping on one foot desperately. He looked funny, but no one could laugh.

The situation was so critical that he probably didn't even hear what I said and was only thinking about escaping.

Seeing that he didn't respond, I simply grabbed his shoulder. This action scared him so much that his expression immediately changed. I saw with my own eyes that he touched his lower back with one hand.

How could I not understand these little moves of his? If I expected it right, the fruit knife was hidden in the waist of his pants: "Don't move around, I'll carry you!"

"You...carry me?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

I didn't say anything. I used my actions to prove it. I bent down and grabbed his legs with both hands: "Quick!"

Chen Mo lay on my back almost subconsciously. I didn't care whether he had a firm grip or not, and strode forward.

Regular exercise and a strengthened body allowed me to not slow down too much even when I was carrying someone on my back.

Sensing the sound of wind behind him, Zhang Heng looked back and saw me chasing Chen Mo on my back. He was very disdainful: "You are really strong, but can you carry him all night?"

I ignored Zhang Heng and rushed into the safe passage with him. The door leading to the underground was locked. The monster came after me at some point. I gave Zhang Heng a wink and ran directly upstairs.

This time the three of us were very lucky and did not encounter the monster. It should have been chasing us from the right.

I rushed to the third floor in one breath, and I could still hear the weird sound of water dripping in my ears. Carrying Chen Mo on my back also took a lot of physical energy, so it was definitely not an option to continue like this.

"Find a ward and hide in it first! Be careful not to touch those white hairs!" As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Heng opened the door of a ward on the third floor. He was quite courageous. The house is very close to the safe passage. If the monster searches each house, he will find us soon.

"It's too late! Go in!" I followed Chen Mo on my back, and the three of us filed in. After closing the door again, we looked at each other. All three of us looked very ugly.

"Damn it! Why did you run upstairs? You should have gone out through the window we came in and hid outside the building!" Zhang Heng seemed to have suddenly thought of something and cursed at me.

"You can go and die on your own." I had just entered the realm of listening, and since the monster walked without making any sound, I could only use the slight sound of water droplets to judge its position. This would inevitably lead to errors, but One thing I am sure of is that if we return the same way, there is a high chance that we will directly collide with the monster. Because the sound is very close to there, I can only take them to the opposite left safe passage.

Maybe there was something wrong with my tone, but Zhang Heng didn't speak, with a gloomy face and his eyes peeking outside through the crack in the door.

The ward fell into dead silence, and no one dared to speak.

Ten seconds later, Zhang Heng, who was still lying at the crack of the door, became a little impatient. His face was filled with the anger of being deceived: "It has been so long and not even a mouse has appeared in the corridor. Are you right?" Are you kidding me on purpose?"

I was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. I filled the acupuncture points behind my ears with my true energy and listened quietly.

"What are you asking? My patience has its limit." Zhang Heng pressed the door lock with one hand and made a fist with the other hand. He stood behind the door, staring at me, waiting for me to give him an answer.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Mo, who was carried all the way by me, still had some conscience. He was lame on one leg and stood with me holding a tree branch. His posture made it clear that he was ready to help me at any time.

"Shut up!" I said softly, then dispersed the Qi in the acupuncture points behind my ears, adjusted my breathing and heartbeat, and then pointed to the door.

"It's coming."

Zhang Heng leaned on the crack of the door and looked out suspiciously. Chen Mo also looked at me in surprise. The three of them were standing in the house. He was curious about how I knew that the monster was coming.

As time passed by, I counted my heartbeats. After the seventh beat, I stood at the door and looked out along the crack in the door with my discerning eye.

I want to see what that monster looks like with my own eyes.

The quiet corridor exuded a faint smell of decay. From this angle, except for the wooden boards nailed to the windows, everything was painted white.

Perhaps because so much time has passed, the white color is different from the white paint we see in daily life. There are dots of yellow spots and small granular objects in it.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

My breathing seemed to have stopped when I heard the familiar voice.

Looking out from the crack of the door, the field of view is very narrow, that is, in the blink of an eye, a white shadow flashes past.

It was so fast that I didn’t even see it clearly.

"What happened just now?" Zhang Heng thought I was deceiving him before, so he was unprepared and almost blurted out.

After he finished speaking, he regretted it and covered his mouth with one hand, not daring to breathe out.

I didn't expect Zhang Heng to speak at this time. I was shocked and wanted to tear his bad mouth apart.

Sure enough, not long after, the rhythmic sound of water dripping in my ears stopped.

The water drops stopped falling, which meant that the monster stopped.

"Oops." Being blocked in the ward, I wanted to run but couldn't. I gritted my teeth and searched my arms for something to break the situation.

Talisman? Ghost ring? The order usurper's token? None of the things I carried seemed to be of any use to the monster.

After a pause of about a second or two, the sound of water dripping started again, and the sound became louder and louder.

Looking through the crack in the door, the corridor seemed to get a little darker.

Without any warning or sound, a bandaged face stopped in my field of vision.

The face is larger than that of a normal person, and what is exposed in the gap between the bandages is not normal human skin, but an unhealed wound.

What Zhang Heng said before was correct, this monster's face looked like it had been skinned.

Fear was like poisonous snakes burrowing into my blood vessels, rushing into my brain. This was the first time I saw this face, and my mind was a little blank.

"How did this thing come about?"

It is wearing a white coat, which is similar to a doctor's white coat, but not quite, it is very loose.

I noticed a detail. Its clothes were not completely soaked, but were still dry in some places.

The moment we saw the monster, Zhang Heng and I were completely frozen at the door. Chen Mo inside noticed that we both looked wrong and covered our mouths without even daring to move.

Across a door, there is only such a short distance between life and death.

One second, two seconds...

No one knew how much time had passed. The bandaged face slowly moved away from the door, a white shadow flashed past, and the ticking sound sounded again in the ears.

A full minute passed before Zhang Heng and I moved away from the door. We stamped our numb legs. I took a breath and said, "It's probably time to leave."

"Let's go, let's go..." Zhang Heng wiped the cold sweat from his temples, and then he realized that his hands were trembling.

"What the hell, what did you just say to me?" I raised my eyebrows and stared at Zhang Heng. As we spent more time together, the feeling this bastard gave me became worse and worse. If I hadn't worried that he might be a hidden show host, I might have gotten rid of him long ago and earned a point first.

"Misunderstanding." Zhang Heng slapped himself directly, but he controlled the force, just for show: "I really didn't know you still had this ability. I was a little panicked in that situation. You, the master, don't care about the villain's mistakes." , give me another chance, I promise to follow your lead tonight."

I smiled coldly and patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder: "I have said before that the three of us are grasshoppers on a rope. Since you think what I said makes sense, then next time you meet a monster and run for your life, You carry Chen Mo."

"Me?" Zhang Heng pointed at himself, his tone was very surprised, and he said directly without thinking about it: "Why?"

"He is a living human being just like you and me. Isn't that enough?" I actually said this to Chen Mo on purpose. If I want him to help me in the future, I can only work harder at this moment. , after all, the icing on the cake is never as good as providing timely assistance.

"Brother, wake up. We don't know if we can survive tonight even if our legs and feet are intact. You are also bringing a cripple with you?" Zhang Heng said sincerely: "You have the ability to predict monsters in advance. This is the key to our escape. , don’t think too hard about it!”

He was originally trying to persuade me, but as he spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize something. He suddenly took two steps back, holding the door lock with one hand, and his face turned pale.

"Why are you so crazy? Are you sick?" Zhang Heng persuaded me to give up on him in front of Chen Mo. It's strange that Chen Mo was happy.

"No..." Zhang Heng had already opened the door with one hand. He occupied the only exit and pointed at me with trembling fingers: "How did you predict the whereabouts of the monster in advance? The monster should not be on the first floor at that time, and you couldn't see anything. , how did you know that the monster would come? And in the clinic building, when the monster stood behind you, why didn't he kill you immediately? Instead, it gave you a chance to escape? "

Every time he said something, his face became uglier: "Is there some connection between the monster and you?! You are the one who controls the monster! It was you who killed the writer!"

Zhang Heng's suspicion was reasonable. I was about to refute when the words he just said suddenly flashed through my mind - there seems to be some kind of connection between the monster and me?
