The person they were looking for wasn’t inside, of course, it’s more likely they were inside, but they couldn’t see them.
"We...we should go, let’s leave here first." Ye Zheng’s lowered voice was trembling, fortunately, she had a decent psychological quality, otherwise, she would have screamed.
Of course, those with poor observation skills might not even realize they’ve been "targeted" by those things.
"If you don’t want to die, don’t move." After a cold reminder, Yang Xiao took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and left Ye Zheng alone, heading towards the door.
Every step he took was arduous, after all, exposing one’s back to the Ghost requires a certain amount of courage, but luckily, he made it to the door.
Next, he opened the door, outside was still a lively scene, people were talking animatedly in the corridor, this image injected Yang Xiao with a dose of strength.
It seemed the situation hadn’t reached an irreversible point, his biggest worry was opening the door to find no one outside.
Leaving the chess room, the door slowly closed behind him, but as it was halfway closed, Yang Xiao used his leg to block it.
He wasn’t going to rashly abandon his companion, he slowly bent down, untied his shoelaces with both hands, pretending to tie them while peeking through his legs towards the chessboard area.
"One pair, two pairs, three pairs..." Yang Xiao was counting these people’s legs.
Looking at people’s faces through his legs felt incredibly stupid, if the thing noticed him and targeted him, he’d be in big trouble.
He wanted to save Ye Zheng, but the premise was to ensure his own survival.
"Nine pairs, ten pairs, eleven pairs, twelve pairs, thirteen...thirteen!!" Yang Xiao’s mind buzzed.
Including the two chess players sitting, there were only 12 people in total, where did the thirteenth pair of legs come from?!
Yang Xiao hadn’t expected that just on their first night here, they would encounter a direct shock from the Fierce Ghost, it was simply too thrilling!
The next scene gave him a heavy blow, someone moved, a pair of legs wearing worn-out leather shoes and blue work pants emerged from the crowd, toes pointing at him, striding stiffly towards him.
"Pa."
"Pa."
"Pa."
The hard heels of the old-fashioned leather shoes hit the ground, the sharp sound echoing in the chess room and even more so in Yang Xiao’s mind, filling it with countless terrifying images, he unexpectedly didn’t react at once, like he was stuck in place.
"Damn..." The only remaining rationality was torturing him madly, he wanted to escape, even if...even if it was just one step, but...but it was as if his feet were rooted.
His mind raced, this wasn’t scientific, no one had died in the Cultural Palace before, nor had anyone been harmed or taken by a Ghost in broad daylight.
Previous victims only met their end after leaving the Cultural Palace at night, there was no reason...no reason for the Fierce Ghost to change the rules just for him, wasn’t this bullying a decent person?
He, Yang Xiao, wasn’t willing!
If he were to die so inexplicably, this wouldn’t be over, even as a Ghost he would confront the other side.
Moreover, now he couldn’t even look at the opponent’s face, his neck had stiffened, unable to move at all.
Just as Yang Xiao watched those legs getting closer, suddenly, the door behind him was pushed by someone, or maybe it was hit, anyway, before those previous victims night, there was no reason...no reason for the Fierce Ghost to change the rules just for him, wasn’t this bullying a decent person?
