If we alarm a group this size, we’re no match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Ma Gui knew some secrets of District 24.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the original story, Su Xiao had never seen primitive ghouls or these eyeless ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna looked at Ma Gui, clearly treating him as their anchor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Change route.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao said nothing; Yuna offered no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three began searching for alternative paths, but after two hours, they discovered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the location of the eyeless ghouls, the other four routes were dead ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the compass, that direction was the only exit leading to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three sat together in a corridor, discussing strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Su Xiao’s hand, a notebook had somehow appeared, along with a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, here, and here—we’ve never been to these spots. From my hand-drawn map, District 24 resembles a funnel shape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direction leading deep into District 24 is the wide end of the funnel; the exit to the surface is the narrow end. That’s precisely why it’s possible to walk into District 24 with a fixed direction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the seventeen dead ends I led us through before, this is the only viable exit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sketching and writing on the notebook, a detailed map appeared on its pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map even included latitude and longitude, and a scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna gazed at Su Xiao with full admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you do it? Did you memorize every path we’ve taken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the neurotic girl Yuna was stunned—Ma Gui also stared at Su Xiao in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carbon pen spun rapidly in Su Xiao’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My former ‘profession’ was unusual. I often infiltrated places to find specific individuals. It’s a habit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sounds like a killer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same nature, different beliefs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao looked up at the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s it going to be? Wait for District 24’s terrain to change again, or risk crossing that dangerous zone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui and Yuna considered for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our supplies won’t last until District 24’s terrain changes again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna and Ma Gui carried food and fresh water sufficient for only four days. Starving, they might survive until the next terrain shift, but their combat effectiveness would plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had enough supplies, but he didn’t want to be trapped here forever—time spent in the derivative world was precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we stay silent, those special ghouls won’t detect us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui spoke, clearly willing to take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s take the risk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui and Yuna stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since we’ve decided to risk it, I have a plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since those ghouls sense sound, we can place a sound source here on the map, then wait at this position. When the sound plays, it’ll draw their attention—we’ll slip through while they’re distracted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao didn’t want to fight the eyeless ghouls head-on; from Ma Gui’s demeanor, they were clearly formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I’ve used a similar method before—it worked well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where will the sound source come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao smiled and pulled out a cellphone, thumb tapping the screen rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Set it for five minutes—more than enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Su Xiao placed the phone on the ground, and the three of them sprinted forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the three reached a dead end, positioned very close to the eyeless ghouls’ location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dū, dū, dū~, dū……, arachachachabiribarirī…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cheerful tune echoed from afar; the neurotic girl Yuna suddenly began swaying her body, hands rhythmically waving in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my favorite ‘Gyūnyū Song.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna’s sudden shift in demeanor left Su Xiao speechless; Ma Gui turned his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds after the music started, a rapid pounding of footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hōng, hōng, hōng…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a vast army was charging—close enough for all three to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the thunder of footsteps receded into the distance; the three exchanged glances and sprinted toward the only exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was short—who knew when the eyeless ghouls might return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three moved quickly: Ma Gui led, Yuna followed in the center, Su Xiao brought up the rear—the same formation as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over a dozen seconds, they reached the previous corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui suddenly stopped, raising one hand behind him, palm facing Su Xiao and Yuna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao halted immediately, staring at the vast open ground beyond the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that open ground, a few eyeless ghouls still lingered—they hadn’t all been lured away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna lowered her voice to a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t make a sound. Move slowly through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui walked forward steadily; Yuna followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stood still, not moving. Ma Gui glanced at him, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pointed behind himself, then at the two, then gestured forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning was clear: if all three moved together, they’d make more noise, and the ghouls behind might return at any moment. Let the two go first—I’ll hold the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui nodded, giving a cautious gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna gave a thumbs-up and stayed put, waiting for Ma Gui to pass first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao didn’t do this out of self-sacrifice; the three were on the same rope—no liability behavior was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Gui’s steps were slow but steady. The open ground spanned roughly two hundred meters—not long, but far from short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than three minutes, Ma Gui crossed the open ground without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hō~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low growl echoed; all three froze. One eyeless ghoul, lying asleep on the ground, had been awakened by a companion’s kagune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul roughly shoved aside its kagune and went back to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna had reached the center, with five eyeless ghouls near her feet; her movements were extremely cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao, holding the rear, pressed his ear to the ground, sensing vibrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Safe—the ghouls lured away by the sound source hadn’t returned yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao began walking slowly, each step deliberate and careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: (Updated early—I deeply realize breaking chapters is wrong, but word count hit its limit.
