Chapter 1963: The Mystery of the Ghost Skull 24

Run, run fast!!

Not daring to look back, after Qing Kai rushed out first, the golden bull and Hai Yao in the room finally reacted, desperately following and fleeing.

Under the threat of death, aside from their instinctive will to survive, facing that chilling intent right now, they felt their scalps about to explode!

No one dared to save Shen She, not even daring to pick up the camera that had fallen to the ground.

Fortunately, the invisible evil ghost was busy devouring Shen She alive and did not come after them.

In just a few seconds, Jin Niu and the others rushed out of the room and headed straight for the fire escape.

Get out! Although they didn't know where they were fleeing to, or if they could escape, they just wanted to get away from here, the farther the better! Shen She, caught by the ghost, had been pulled up to the ceiling! His lower half vanished, leaving only his head, which hung like a dangling lamp, cruelly suspended from the ceiling!

Thud thud! Thud! Thud thud!

The chaotic sounds of frantic running echoed through the building.

Like a headless fly, Jin Niu's face turned deathly pale as he sprinted in large strides, his fear reaching its peak.

Hurry up, hurry faster!

Although he didn't dare to turn back to save anyone, seeing Qing Kai already rush to the stairwell, he couldn't help but curse quietly.

He finally figured out what kind of person Qing Kai was! A supposed Star-Destroying Level expert runs faster than a rabbit!

Shen She is also stupid enough! In this kind of mission, he still wanted to cling to Qing Kai's thigh! Now it's fine—he's just been sold out!

Without saying Qing Kai had no hesitation at all, compared to Lin An who rushed out first, that kid at least reminded them to flee together, even bringing the giant demon along!

Putting it bluntly, if Shen She had been holding onto 77 back then, there might still have been a slim chance of survival!

Without regard for how terrible his own performance was, Qing Kai, leading the front, had his mind filled with how he could survive.

Hearing the footsteps of Jin Niu and Hai Yao catching up from behind, he couldn't help but turn and shout:

"Idiot! Don't follow me! Scatter and flee!"

"Damn it! Are you trying to get me killed?!"

Although he didn't know what the ghost would do next, Qing Kai could tell with his toes that the ghost was definitely the side that chased people the most! Jin Niu following him was undoubtedly pushing him into a pit of fire!

At the same time, seeing Qing Kai actually scold them not to follow, Jin Niu and Hai Yao instantly flared with anger!

"What does following him even mean?! This is the nearest route downstairs! Qing Kai making them take a detour is practically sending them to their deaths?!"

Suppressing the urge to burst out in curses, the two had no intention of paying attention to Qing Kai, continuing to sprint wildly at the doorway.

If they were to die, they'd die together; they would absolutely not sacrifice themselves to benefit this bastard!

However, before Qing Kai could notice their thoughts, he intended to scold again.

The next second, a rapid thudding sound suddenly came from downstairs. So fast it seemed as if something was jumping forward!

In an instant, Qing Kai's pupils contracted sharply, and his originally frantic steps were forced to a halt by fright!

"Who is it?! Could there still be a ghost here?!"

Judging others by himself, Qing Kai never imagined someone would turn back; in his mind, Lin An, who ran out first, had surely fled far away and could never come back up.

Thus, hearing those heavy footsteps draw nearer, Qing Kai's face changed, and he instinctively turned and fled in another direction.

Rather than wasting time, he was more afraid of crashing head-on into the second ghost charging at him!

With a ruthless mindset, he didn't even plan to warn Jin Niu and Hai Yao.

However, before Qing Kai could even avoid bumping into Jin Niu behind him, in the instant they crossed paths face to face, he actually saw a look of shock in Jin Niu and Hai Yao's eyes.

"77!?"

He was so startled it felt as if he had truly seen a ghost!

In Jin Niu's eyes, Lin An burst out of the corridor, wielding a steel bar as a spear, charging forward at incredible speed!

"This is?!"

"Go back and cooperate with me!"

"Retrieve the camera! If we don't get it back, we'll die sooner or later!"

Without time to explain, Lin An let out an angry shout, overtaking Qing Kai and shooting past everyone like an arrow released from a bow.

Smelling the faint scent of blood in the air, as the distance to the workroom grew closer, Lin An could feel the chilling intent intensifying.

Saying he wasn't nervous would be a lie, but all he could do was stake everything on betting that he could retrieve the camera!

Faced with Lin An's performance that defied common sense, the three were genuinely shocked, standing frozen in place.

Let alone retrieving the camera, they now didn't even have the courage to look back! In their eyes, Lin An seemed like a madman, bold to the extreme!

"This kid?!"

Fortunately, his reaction wasn't too slow; seeing Lin An already charge into the workroom with his spear, Jin Niu's heart jolted as he suddenly realized why Lin An was doing this!

"Retrieve the camera?!"

"Damn it! We need to retrieve the camera! That thing is a crucial prop!"

After his words fell, Jin Niu gritted his teeth and hurriedly turned back to help Lin An. He claimed he wasn't afraid, but that was a lie; however, he could also see that since Lin An had already rushed in, if anyone were to die, it would be Lin An first.

This time, if they fail to retrieve the camera, then hoping for Qing Kai and the others afterward would be even more hopeless!

Soon, after just a few seconds, Hai Yao also hardened his resolve and followed Lin An inside.

For a moment, the entire stairwell entrance had only Qing Kai standing there, dazed.

Everything happened too suddenly; Qing Kai gasped heavily, looking one way at the darkness representing escape, the other way at the workroom corner representing death, and for a moment he didn't know how to choose.

"Go back?!" Though he was afraid, after coming to his senses he also realized what the camera meant—but going back meant facing the ghost head-on!

"What should I do!"

"What should I do?!"

Torn between heaven and man, struggling, at this moment Qing Kai suddenly realized he seemed lacking the "strength" of Lin An, a War Star Level cultivator!

"What is the logic of killing?! Who took the photo? Is it it?!"

"It's impossible that we just pick up the camera and kill people; if that were the case, the camera would be meaningless!"

「The earlier photos were all fine; when the last one was taken something happened, but that was just me realizing something was off—actually that ghost didn't act then! 」

Thought exploded to the limit, Lin An seemed to return to the time when he first faced the ghost infant.

Even without super-effective thought, but under the weak effect of Faith Power, his mind was like slow motion, continuously flashing every detail!

「Seeing... seeing... seeing! Imagining...! All information revolves around these two points; all information tells me that the ghost skull is related to the observation angle! This means the key to breaking the situation lies inside! 」

「So is it that I see the ghost and something happens, or... 」

「Wait! 」

At the moment he stepped through the glass door, a flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in Lin An's eyes, and the replayed scene in his mind finally froze on the moment everyone saw the ghost!

Like a sudden enlightenment, a complete logic was instantly filled in!

「I know now! 」

「It's not that seeing it means death; otherwise the ghost would only kill the divine archer and not chase us! Nor is it that being seen by it means death.. 」

「But rather.. 」

「Eye contact!! 」

「The ghost can only see us through our eyes! Its eyes cannot see people! So there's no one in the photos!! 」
