241. Chapter 241: Desperate Emotions

Feeling the peeping of those pairs of eyes, Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing felt great pressure at this moment. The ordinary messenger next to them was even more unbearable, his whole body trembling, and his face revealed deep fear.

But even so, they still didn't intend to run away.

The pressure of the delivery mission was on them. Even if they ran out now, they would have to come back again in a while, so running away was meaningless. Only when the delivery mission was completed would all this end.

"They are just looking at us, but they didn't attack us. Li Yi is right. We will only be attacked by ghosts if we satisfy a certain condition. As long as this condition is not satisfied, even if the ghost has already seen us, it won't do anything to us. It's just that I don't know what the so-called condition is now?"

"Zhang Jing, don't move. I'll go and investigate. If the ghost leaves the pool, run immediately, don't hesitate."

Tao Yuan said, and he cautiously went around the auditorium on the side, trying to ensure his own safety through this method.

But as his figure moved, the eyes of those corpses in the pool also moved. It seemed that Tao Yuan was the target at this moment, while Zhang Jing and that messenger were ignored.

"Are they all staring at me? That's fine." Tao Yuan was actually happy to see this result at this moment.

He was an Inspiration Realm expert and was not injured, so his mobility was stronger than Zhang Jing's.

Although it was broad daylight at this moment, there were no lights in the swimming hall, and the occasional few lights were dim and flickering, which made the surrounding environment a bit dim and oppressive. However, Tao Yuan's eyes were glowing at this moment, so he was not affected. Instead, he began to look for the location of the letter recipient.

There were too many corpses in the pool, and any corpse could be Wang Fei.

But Tao Yuan couldn't find any information about the corpses, and as he moved, he felt that the surrounding air seemed to be getting more and more humid. Thick water droplets were hanging on the nearby walls, and even a small amount of accumulated water had appeared in some places. This change made Tao Yuan understand that he should perhaps leave and shouldn't stay any longer.

Step!

Perhaps Tao Yuan's attention was too focused on the corpses in the pool. At this moment, he stepped on a piece of accumulated water on the ground. This piece of accumulated water was not large, just a small piece, but at this moment, a strong sense of crisis surged in Tao Yuan's heart. This sense of crisis made his tense body react immediately.

He retreated rapidly.

The next moment.

Tao Yuan's face changed drastically, but he saw a wet, pale palm stretching out from the accumulated water just now. That palm tried to grab him, but he dodged it at this moment.

"Zhang Jing, be careful of the accumulated water here. Don't touch it, otherwise, you will be attacked by ghosts," he shouted, passing this important information out.

Can't touch the accumulated water?

After hearing this, Zhang Jing also immediately said: "Tao Yuan, retreat, don't look for that letter recipient anymore, you are very dangerous now."

"I know, I'm leaving now." Tao Yuan understood that his previous actions had been a mistake. If he continued to stay, it would only become more and more dangerous. It was better to leave here first and discuss the plan again.

However, at this moment.

Under Tao Yuan's Inspiration Realm sensing, his body suddenly tilted to one side.

A drop of accumulated water fell from the ceiling, sliding past his body.

That accumulated water was turbid and revealed a cold aura. When it slid past his eyes, Tao Yuan even saw many strange figures wandering in this swimming hall through that drop of accumulated water. Those figures were very close to him, which made him feel a sense of horror.

"Zhang Jing, our eyes can't see the hidden ghosts here, but we can see ghosts through the accumulated water. The accumulated water here might be useful to us," Tao Yuan captured this important information and shouted it out again, passing the information to others.

After saying this, his figure retreated violently.

The speed was incredibly fast.

And at this moment, Tao Yuan was very cautious. He avoided all the accumulated water, and even the water droplets falling from the ceiling were perfectly dodged by him.

At this moment, he seemed to be dancing on the tip of a knife, his figure as fast as an afterimage.

The advantage of an Evolver was reflected at this moment.

These existences contaminated with supernatural power could be easily avoided by him. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been soaked by this water droplet long ago. No one knew what would happen then, but this was definitely not a good thing.

While dodging, Tao Yuan didn't choose to return the same way, but rushed directly toward a glass window. He intended to break the window and leave.

This was the fastest and most effective means.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by an explosion of power, Tao Yuan's figure passed through instantly, the water droplets in mid-air, and then hit the glass. This powerful force, let alone a piece of glass, would even pierce through a wall. But what made Zhang Jing feel horrified was that Tao Yuan didn't smash the glass and leave the gymnasium, but his whole person sank into that piece of glass.

Tao Yuan also immediately reacted that the situation was wrong, and he hurriedly stopped and retracted his strength.

But the next moment.

A wet, pale palm stretched out from inside the glass and grabbed Tao Yuan. In just an instant, his whole person was completely dragged out.

Like falling into water.

"Tao Yuan!" Zhang Jing shouted, but she couldn't do anything, just watching Tao Yuan disappear from her sight.

He was completely swallowed by a piece of glass.

At this moment, Zhang Jing noticed that there was a layer of water mist on all the glass in the entire swimming hall. This layer of water mist was perfectly integrated with the glass. If you didn't look carefully, it would almost be subconsciously ignored. And just now, Tao Yuan ignored this detail because his attention was focused on dodging the accumulated water and water droplets.

Just because of this small detail, he paid a heavy price for it.

Boom!

Suddenly.

The gate of the swimming hall was smashed by a burst of Qi and blood. The next moment, Li Yi and Qin Bing rushed in.

"What's going on? What accident happened?"

They heard Zhang Jing's shouting and realized there was a problem. Although they heard some movement just now, those were movements within the normal range, so they didn't pay attention.

"Tao Yuan disappeared, eaten by a piece of glass." Zhang Jing's face was very ugly at this moment, and her expression was a bit trance-like.

What?

The two were shocked.

Can a piece of glass eat people?

But they looked left and right, and indeed they didn't find Tao Yuan's traces. He really went missing.

And everyone knew very well what it meant to go missing in such a haunted place.

Tao Yuan was likely already dead.

Even if he wasn't dead yet, he couldn't be rescued, because they weren't Ghost Controllers and didn't have supernatural power, so they couldn't fight against the things here. Even if they wanted to save people, it was of no avail.

"Damn it." Qin Bing was furious, and his remaining hand couldn't help but punch the wall next to him to vent.

But he was stopped by Zhang Jing, who hurriedly blocked him: "Don't touch it. The water here can't be touched. Just now, Tao Yuan was attacked by a ghost because he stepped on a pool of accumulated water. Finally, in order to escape the swimming hall, he thought of breaking the window and leaving. Finally, I didn't expect a layer of water stains on the window, and then he was swallowed."

"There is such a bizarre thing?" Qin Bing was shocked and afraid.

Can a layer of water stains also swallow people?

Is the supernatural power of this world so unreasonable?

"Retreat, leave here."

Li Yi drank immediately, and then took everyone to retreat rapidly, leaving the swimming hall without looking back.

Zhang Jing looked at the gymnasium in front of her and smiled bitterly: "It seems that our team has no way to leave this world alive. It's only been a few days, the captain is dead, Xu Qiu Mei is dead, and now even Tao Yuan is dead. Li Yi, I don't want to participate in this delivery mission anymore. With this time, I want to find a place to cultivate, gamble, and see if I can condense my soul."

"If I can break through to the Soul Realm, I can try to have my soul leave my body and cross dimensions to leave. Although the risk is great, at least this is something I can master, not like now, dying inexplicably and confusedly."

At this moment, Zhang Jing, this Inspiration Realm expert, had a breakdown in her emotions, and she gave birth to desperate emotions.

"This is not a way," Qin Bing said while smoking, frowning and feeling very lost.

A good teammate, gone in the blink of an eye. What about the Inspiration Realm?

Facing the ghosts of this world, it is still fragile, without any power to resist.

Li Yi was silent. He didn't know what to say now, but he also defaulted to Zhang Jing's words, because she was right. If things developed according to this situation, their team would definitely end up being wiped out. It was impossible to survive three months.

But he understood that it was impossible to just give up like this. As long as there is a chance, he must find a way to survive.

"Perhaps, we should find the person in charge of this Zhongyang City and talk. Perhaps we can get some help, just like we met the person in charge of Dazhuang City before." Afterwards, he said.

"Makes sense. Let the people who handle supernatural events help. This might be useful. It's just that others may not be willing to help us, and maybe they will kill us," Qin Bing said.

¤¢O

Li Yi smiled bitterly: "It's come to this, what else can we do? Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. You wait here, I'll go negotiate. If I'm killed, then you can see what to do."

After speaking, he took out the yellow letter, placed it on the ground, and then walked toward the outside of the gymnasium without looking back.

Seeing Li Yi leave, the group didn't stop him. Perhaps it was good to try. After all, from a certain perspective, the goals of both sides did not conflict.

"It shouldn't be, how could it be like this." However, Guo You, an ordinary messenger, was in disbelief at this moment.

The letters on the first floor shouldn't be so difficult.

Even this expert is dead, so how could he have a way to survive?

He had also delivered letters on the first floor. Although there was danger, it was by no means so dangerous.

Could it be that the difficulty of team letters is really that great?

Guo You didn't know, but he still felt that the difficulty of this delivery was a bit over the limit. I believe that even messengers on the second or third floor might not be able to break through. ===== CHAPTER 241 =====
