Feeling the scrutiny of those pairs of eyes, Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing felt an imnse pressure at this mont. The ordinary ssenger beside them was faring even worse, shaking all over and revealing deep fear on his face.
Even so, they still had no intention of running away.
The pressure of the mission to deliver the ssage weighed on them, and even if they ran now, they would have to co back later. So escaping was pointless; only after completing the delivery mission would everything end.
"It’s just watching us, but it hasn’t attacked us. Li Yi was right, we will only be attacked by the fierce ghost when we et certain conditions, and as long as these conditions aren’t t, even if the fierce ghost has seen us it won’t do anything to us. The problem now is, what exactly are these conditions?"
"Zhang Jing, don’t move from where you are. I’ll go investigate. If the ghost leaves the swimming pool, run imdiately without hesitation."
Tao Yuan spoke, cautiously moving along the nearby spectator seats, trying to ensure his safety by this ans.
But as he moved, the eyes of the corpses in the pool also moved, as though Tao Yuan had beco the target at this mont, while Zhang Jing and the ssenger were being ignored.
"They’re all focusing on ? That’s fine by ." At this mont, Tao Yuan was actually pleased to see this outco.
He was a Spiritual Perception Master, uninjured and more mobile than Zhang Jing.
Although it was broad daylight, there was no lighting inside the swimming pool, and the occasional lights that were on flickered dimly, making the surrounding environnt sowhat gloomy and oppressive. However, Tao Yuan’s eyes glowed brightly, unaffected by the darkness as he began to search for the recipient of the ssage.
The pool had too many corpses, any one of which could be Wang Fei.
But Tao Yuan was unable to find any information about the corpses, and as he moved around, he began to feel the air growing more and more humid, with thick water droplets hanging from the nearby walls. In so places, there were even small puddles forming. This change made Tao Yuan realize that he might need to leave, that he shouldn’t linger any longer.
Tap!
Perhaps because Tao Yuan was too focused on the corpses in the pool, he stepped onto a puddle on the floor. The puddle was not large, just a small patch, but in that instant, a strong sense of crisis surged in Tao Yuan’s mind, prompting an imdiate reaction from his tense body.
He quickly retreated backward.
The next mont.
Tao Yuan’s face changed abruptly, only to see a pale, wet hand reaching out from that puddle he had just stepped in, a hand that tried to grab him but missed because he dodged out of the way.
"Zhang Jing, be careful with the puddles here. Don’t touch them, or you’ll be attacked by the fierce ghost," he shouted, passing on this crucial intelligence.
Puddles that can’t be touched?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing also imdiately said, "Tao Yuan, pull back, don’t look for that ssage recipient anymore. You’re in great danger now."
"I know, I’m leaving now." Tao Yuan understood that his action just now was a mistake. Staying would only be more dangerous. It was better to leave the place first and discuss a new plan.
However, at that mont.
Under the influence of his Spiritual Sense, Tao Yuan’s body suddenly shifted to one side.
A drop of water fell from the ceiling, sliding past his body.
The water was murky and emitted a cold and eerie aura. As it passed before his eyes, Tao Yuan saw, through that drop of water, many strange figures wandering around the swimming pool; so of them were very close to him, which sent a shiver down his spine.
"Zhang Jing, we can’t see the hidden ghosts with our eyes here, but through the water, we can see them. The water here might be useful to us." Tao Yuan captured this vital piece of information and shouted it out again, passing it on to the others.
He then explosively retreated.
His speed was unbelievably fast.
Moreover, Tao Yuan was very careful now, avoiding all the puddles and even the drops of water falling from the ceiling with perfect evasion.
At that mont, he was like dancing on the blade’s edge, his figure moving as fast as an afterimage.
The advantages of an Evolver were shown at this mont.
He could easily avoid these beings sared with supernatural power, which a normal person would have been drenched by now, and no one knew what would happen then, but it certainly wouldn’t be anything good.
While evading, Tao Yuan didn’t choose to go back the way he ca but instead charged towards a glass window, intending to break through it.
This was the fastest and most effective asure.
"Bang!"
With a burst of force, Tao Yuan moved through the air, the water droplets colliding with the glass. His powerful strike would not only break a glass window but could even penetrate walls. However, to Zhang Jing’s horror, Tao Yuan didn’t break through the glass to leave the sports hall; instead, his body was sucked into the glass.
Tao Yuan also reacted imdiately that sothing was wrong, hurriedly stopping and gripping.
But in the next mont,
a pale, wet hand suddenly erged from within the glass and grasped Tao Yuan. Only for an instant, and he was completely pulled out.
It felt as though he had plunged into water.
"Tao Yuan." Zhang Jing shouted, but there was nothing she could do other than watch as Tao Yuan disappeared from her sight.
He was completely swallowed by a piece of glass.
At this ti, Zhang Jing finally noticed that a layer of mist had ford on all the glasses within the swimming pool. This mist lded perfectly with the glass, almost imperceptible unless looked at closely, and it was this detail that Tao Yuan neglected, due to his focus on dodging the accumulating water and droplets.
Even such a small oversight had led him to pay a heavy price.
Boom!
Suddenly,
The main entrance of the swimming pool was shattered by a burst of Qi and Blood Gang Qi, and the next mont, Li Yi and Qin Bing rushed in.
"What’s going on, what happened?"
They had heard Zhang Jing’s cry and realized there was a problem. They had heard so noises before, but those were normal and didn’t catch their attention.
"Tao Yuan has disappeared... he was ’eaten’ by a piece of glass." Zhang Jing’s face looked extrely awful at this mont, her expression sowhat dazed.
What?
Both were shocked.
A piece of glass ate soone?
But looking around, indeed they could not find any trace of Tao Yuan; he had truly vanished.
And everyone knew what disappearance in a haunted place like this ant.
Most likely, Tao Yuan was already dead.
Even if he wasn’t dead, they could not save him; they were not Ghost Tars and lacked supernatural power to fight against the entities here. Even if they wanted to save soone, it would be futile.
"Damn it." Qin Bing was furious, his remaining hand couldn’t help but want to smash against the wall next to him in frustration.
But Zhang Jing, who had co back to her senses, quickly stopped him, "Don’t touch! You can’t touch the water here. Just now, Tao Yuan was attacked by a ghost after stepping into a puddle, and in the end, in an attempt to escape the swimming pool, he thought to break the window but didn’t expect a layer of water stains on it, and then he was swallowed."
"There are such bizarre things?" Qin Bing was both shocked and scared.
A layer of water stains could swallow a person?
Are the supernatural powers of this world so unreasonable?
"Let’s get out, leave this place."
Li Yi imdiately ordered, then quickly led everyone to retreat, not looking back as they left the swimming pool.
Zhang Jing looked at the stadium before her and bitterly smiled, "It seems like our team won’t be able to leave this world alive. It’s only been a few days, the captain died, Xu Qiui died, and now Tao Yuan too. Li Yi, I don’t want to take part in this ssenger mission any longer. I’d rather find a place for Cultivation, take a 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 the body and Cross Border, though the risk is great, at least it’s sothing I can control, not dying senselessly and inexplicably like now."
At this mont, Zhang Jing, the Spiritual Perception Master, seed to be on the verge of an emotional collapse, engulfed by a sense of despair.
"This might indeed be a solution." Qin Bing, smoking a cigarette and frowning, was also feeling down.
A good teammate, gone in the blink of an eye. What good is being in the Spiritual Realm?
Against the fierce ghosts of this world, they’re still incredibly vulnerable, without any capacity to resist.
Li Yi remained silent, not knowing what to say, but he tacitly agreed with Zhang Jing’s words. She was right; if things went on like this, their team was dood to be wiped out. Surviving three months was simply impossible.
But he knew that giving up was not an option. As long as there was a chance, they had to strive to survive.
"Perhaps, we should go talk to the person in charge of Zhongyang City. Maybe we can get so help. Just like before in Dazhuang City when we t the person in charge there," he said.
"That makes sense. Letting the people who handle supernatural incidents help might be useful, though they might not be willing to help us. They might even kill us for all we know," Qin Bing said.
Li Yi bitterly smiled, "What else can we do at this point? A dead horse as a living horse doctor, I guess. You guys wait here, I’ll go and negotiate. If I get killed, well, you’ll have to figure it out."
With that said, he took out the yellow letter and placed it on the ground, then walked away from the stadium without looking back.
Seeing Li Yi depart, no one tried to stop him. Maybe it was worth a try, after all. From a certain point of view, the goals of both sides did not conflict.
"This shouldn’t be happening, how can it be like this?" However, Guo You, who was a regular ssenger, was in utter disbelief.
The first-floor letters aren’t supposed to be this difficult.
If such an expert had died, how could soone like him find a way to live?
He had also delivered first-floor letters. Although there were dangers, they were never perilously deadly like this.
Could it be that the difficulty for team letters was indeed this trendous?
Guo You didn’t know, but he still felt that this ssenger assignnt was excessively hard, doubting that even second or third-floor ssengers could make it through.
