Chapter 1980: Ghost Skull Mystery 41

What are you still standing there for!? Hurry up and run!!

As they collided head-on, Jiang Haochen's face was full of anxiety; he grabbed Lin An and tried to flee. Behind him, a series of booming sounds came like a train approaching, as if there were more ghosts in the subway than on the ground.

Seeing that Lin An and the others were calm is false, but time was pressing; he also couldn't bother with catching up, his mind only on escaping first.

He suddenly pulled, but Jiang Haochen was stunned to find Lin An and the others completely motionless, as if they had thought of something; only then did his face change drastically, and he instinctively looked behind everyone.

Fuck...!!!

Ghosts! They're all ghosts!

In his eyes, the ghosts behind Lin An and the others were no fewer than those in the subway!

The ghosts constantly jumping down and charging at them had completely surrounded them!!

You can see them!?

Gao Tian instantly noticed that Jiang Haochen could see the ghosts without relying on a camera, and blurted out a question; meanwhile, Jin Niu beside him lunged forward and shouted loudly:

Where did you escape from!? Where can you still escape to!?

He was almost at the point of utter despair, but seeing that this kid could see ghosts, perhaps Jiang Haochen had some special ability!

As the ghosts drew ever closer, everyone stared at him intently, but Jiang Haochen's face turned deathly pale, his expression a bitter smile:

There's... no way out!

I can only see them; if I could, I wouldn't run!!

As his words fell, Jin Niu felt his legs go limp, the last shred of hope in his heart extinguished.

Gao Tian and the others were somewhat better off; they knew Lin An had the ability to restart, but waiting here to die like this was truly unbearable.

There's nothing we can do, really nothing we can do; all we can do is wait for Lin Dui to restart and break the situation!

Feeling the chill coming from all directions, Lin An, disregarding Jin Niu's shocked gaze, rushed straight up to Jiang Haochen and quickly asked:

Andre!? Where did you guys enter? What did you encounter!?

The first round has already failed; Lin An only intends to use the remaining few seconds to gather as much information as possible. Otherwise, the next round will be the same problem!

However, contrary to Lin An's expectations, just as Jiang Haochen grasped his meaning and was about to answer, his gaze suddenly shifted to Gao Tian, as if he had thought of something.

I'm from...! Wait!? You're all injured!?

Damn it! No wonder you're being chased by ghosts! I have a way to escape!!

Blood!! Blood!! These ghosts have no eyes! Their brains are backwards! Smell!! Is anyone unharmed!? Scatter and run!!

Jiang Haochen shouted excitedly; he knew where the problem lay.

The situation was urgent; he really didn't have time to explain in detail, so he hastily pulled up his own clothing to show Lin An and the others the bloodstains!

Andre's blood!! I don't have time to clean it up!

Jiang Haochen's words were incoherent, even somewhat confused. But fortunately, aside from Zhang Tie not understanding, the others reacted extremely quickly and soon grasped what Jiang Haochen was saying.

Scent tracking!? Their brains are backwards!?

His whole body shuddered; Gao Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly realized Jiang Haochen was right!

Damn it!

The ghosts captured on camera have always been blurry; he never noticed this detail!

Exactly! In the art gallery, the heads in the pictures all face away from them, and the Golden Robe was made the primary target because he was closest to the Red Robe and had blood on him!

Moreover, the timing of the ghosts' second wave of attacks was exactly when everyone was cutting off their own flesh to give to Lin An!

Logic pieced together, clues assembled—everything became clear in an instant!

Captain Lin! Captain Lin isn't injured!!

After Gao Tian shouted excitedly, he took a deep breath and immediately charged at the ghost horde lunging from behind, under Jin Niu's stunned gaze!

Without the slightest hesitation, just like those giant demons sacrificing for Gu Siman, after charging into the ghost horde, Gao Tian plunged a blade into his own chest and spread his arms:

Brother Zhang! Run! If you can't escape, go die!!

Fresh blood instantly attracted the oncoming ghost horde; enduring the pain, Gao Tian seemed to be seized by an invisible hand in midair, his flesh and blood vanishing at a visible speed.

Ignoring that he was being devoured alive by ghosts, Gao Tian simply shouted desperately for Lin An to escape first!

Time is too pressing!

He had no time to explain to Brother Zhang; let Brother Zhang die first!

He could only choose to die himself, buying time!

At the same moment, Jin Niu, who had just figured out this logic, watching Gao Tian voluntarily go to die, was so stunned he couldn't speak!

Although he knew why Gao Tian did this, he absolutely could not be so decisive, so trusting of another person!

Madmen! They're all madmen! Do they really believe Lin An will surely complete the mission!?

Gao Tian!! Fuck!!

As the only person in the scene who hadn't reacted, Zhang Tie's eyes were about to burst, and he instinctively wanted to rush in to save them.

But before he could roar and charge out, Jiang Haochen beside him, also unable to admire Gao Tian's decisiveness, simply grabbed Zhang Tie, who was trying to rush up to save them, and shouted urgently:

Zhang Tie! You'll have your chance to fight desperately later; for now, run!!

Seventeen seconds later.

The group ran with their heads down, Jin Niu's arms trembling as he held a small knife, occasionally glancing at Zhang Tie, who kept cutting off meat.

Like bait, each piece of meat Zhang Tie groaned and threw out temporarily slowed the ghosts; under Jiang Haochen's guidance, they actually broke out of the encirclement.

I... I also have to go die? No, we can't just stop to find a place to bandage our wounds? Do we still have to go to the exit!?

What if it's not completed? What if Lin An can't make it through either!?

Being forced to die and choosing to die voluntarily are two different things.

He knew that sending the only uninjured and strongest fighter, Lin An, ahead was the optimal solution.

But this also meant he had to sacrifice himself, placing all his hope entirely on Lin An.

Not knowing that Lin An had the restart ability, the Gold Bull felt for the first time what it truly meant to gamble with one's life!

You bull, why so much... sigh... nonsense! Even a star-destroyer is this scared of death—not relying on the squad but on you?!

Cut the flesh quickly! The more wounds, the more you can attract those ghosts!

Later, you on the left, me on the right! Remember to stay far from death!

In the midst of frantic running, Zhang Tie, who already understood what was going on, sliced his own arm repeatedly, continuously throwing the flesh from his hand far away. However, just after running out a block, his left hand was literally 'hollowed out' by himself, as if dissecting himself, revealing stark white bones. Compared to the Gold Bull's hesitation, Xiong Hanzi can be said to unconditionally trust Lin An; not to mention being able to revive, even if he truly died in Lin An's stead, he wouldn't blink an eye.

The stronger the smell of blood on someone, the more the ghosts will chase that person.

Actually, they should have realized this when the first ogre died.

According to Jiang Haochen's plan, they need to get Lin An to the exit as much as possible, then he and the Gold Bull will respectively attract the ghosts' pursuit, tear open a path of survival, allowing the squad to attempt to finish the mission.

Even if unsuccessful, they can still determine whether their cognition is complete, giving the squad more information.

Not sure if it's because they got used to Zhang Tie's way of speaking, the Gold Bull's face twitched, and they could only resign themselves to fate.

Lord Lin An... sigh... you must stay alive!!

Lin An nodded silently after hearing, focusing more on the information given by Jiang Haochen.

Andre is dead? What information did you get? How did he die?
