Chapter 94 An Unforeseen Event

“There’s still behind us!”

Bai Yan abruptly turned his head back and saw, on the other end of the small passageway, a badly mutilated figure was standing in the middle of the path, obstructing their route to escape.

The bloodied figure was the human skin ghost that had taken off its skin.

Seeing this image, Ye Shangyu frivolously said in a loud voice, “Leave the human skin ghost to me, I can only stop it for 10 seconds at most! After 10 seconds, we need to run to the front!”

“Okay!”

Jina bit her lip out of tension, her lips were deathly pale as though they had lost too much blood.

As Ozawa and Lu Ruichao approached them step by step, the ghostly face on the back of Jina’s head grew all the more sinister and all the more terrifying.

In just a few short seconds, that glowering ghostly face changed its expression multiple times, each one turning more hideous and bizarre than the last, letting terror be birthed by anyone who saw it.

“Uyzzkdt! Fsxlsdl’p nyzzkdt!”

“They’re right there, I’ve found them!”

From a distance, several elderly voices were coming through.

The fuzzy voices became clearer and clearer, and upon hearing them, everyone’s complexions turned unsightly—— They shouldn’t wait any longer!

Everyone hurriedly shut off their phones as Ye Shangyu yelled to their backs, “Jina, is it done?”

“Wait!”

Jina looked at the two pieces of human pelts in front of her, her heart extremely nervous.

This level’s ghosts were much harder to handle compared to the previous levels.

It was a difficult predicament because when she used her ability on the last level’s ghosts, she could make them freeze for a good while.

At the front, her ghostly face was still exposed through her hair, while the two human pelts piled on top of each began to tremble on the ground. Air filled their bodies, gradually swelling them up, unexpectedly recovering.

“I can’t drag on any longer!”

The ten seconds were about to be up. With Jina’s ruthless heart, her face becoming strained, all of the facial features, front and back, gradually drew to a close.

Her pretty face immediately also turned incomparably sinister, while a cruel light flashed through her eyes. In an instant, the two human skins were completely deflated and were ruthlessly flung onto the wall.

“Run!”

A burst of dizziness hit Jina as she managed to squeeze out this word between her teeth.

As soon as her voice fell, Jina mulled herself to dash forward, and Ye Shangyu cast out a drop of blood from her fingertip, immediately grabbing onto Bai Yan to let him half-drag her away.

Although Ye Shangyu’s arm was tightly locked onto him, Bai Yan’s speed didn’t slow down.

They said that using their ghostly abilities would lead them to experience vertigo, but Ye Shangyu still ran as though she was flying, not showing any traces of weakness——

Moreover, as he ran and ran, Bai Yan noticed a hint of strangeness. Jina, who was in front of him, already couldn’t move and run, needing Kenta to carry her as they fled, but for Ye Shangyu’s case, she might have been well enough to not rely on him!

Their escape was more urgent, so Bai Yan was also unable to ponder on this more.

On their escape, Jina was leaning against Kenta’s back, constantly yelling, “It has taken off the human pelt, this is a great opportunity! We need to seize this chance to find that human pelt!”

After saying this, Jina muttered something into Kenta’s ear, leading him to take a detour to Xu Lanfang’s house.

Spending a lot of effort, everyone finally shook off the villagers tailing behind them once again.

Fortunately, the app was still a bit charitable and didn’t make their phones continuously sound alarms.

The human skin ghost could bore out of phones, so it understood a phone’s functions quite well. A lot of ghosts could make a call, but it was their first time to have a ghost locate them through ringtones.

When they reached Xu Lanfang’s house, but before they could go through its door, everyone smelled a faint whiff of a burnt odor.

Not waiting for everyone to go in, Bai Yan looked at Ye Shangyu’s deathly pale face, which spitted out a mouthful of blood.

She used her hand to cover her mouth, but there was still blood leaking out of her finger.

Once she moved her hand away, her palm was already covered in blood, looking more severe than Jina’s condition.

“Ye, are you alright?”

Being carried on Kenta’s back, Jina recovered a lot. It was particularly evident on her small face that had recovered a pink hue and wasn’t as white as earlier.

Faced with Jina’s question, Ye Shangyu shook her head as if to say that she was fine.

But at the next second, she hacked again and another mouthful of blood came splurging out, choking her to a coughing fit.

Seeing this demeanor of hers, Jina’s heart couldn’t help but feel nervous from the human skin ghost was truly too frightening.

On the outside, she handled two ghosts, while Ye Shangyu dealt with only one, which seemed to be easier than what she did.

However, the two ghosts she had handled were changed into an inferior kind of human skin ghosts. The original human skin ghost was no doubt more powerful than the transformed ones, and for Ye Shangyu to manage to block the human skin ghost for ten seconds, it was already not an easy feat.

Seeing Ye Shangyu’s blood-spitting manner, Jina felt that she wasn’t easily spent.

As expected, after coughing twice more, Ye Shangyu wiped away the blood on the corner of her mouth, sounding out as she said, “That human skin ghost is strong, so I had to expend a bit more energy. If I use my ability again, I’ll faint. How’s your situation? Could you try finding the human skin?”

“I’m still fine. If it’s merely searching for something, so long as I pay attention a bit, then I won’t pass out.” Jina brushed away her hair, saying, “Hopefully, we wouldn’t encounter that kind of situation again. Otherwise, I won’t be able to freeze them twice.”

Jina finished talking then closed her eyes to scan the area.

The ghostly face on the back of her head twisted and morphed, and during its uninterrupted squirming, it changed into all kinds of shapes and forms.

While she diligently sensed the area, Ye Shangyu panted heavily, intermittently coughing from time to time, looking like her condition hasn’t improved yet.

Seeing Kenta vigilantly watching their surroundings, Bai Yan began to think, uncovering the lid of a saucepan that was emitting a burnt smell. Black painted the inside of the large iron pot, which was filled with fishy-smelling gruel.

“Crackle, crackle…”

An extremely hot fire was burning on the stove below. It appeared that Xu Lanfang was cooking porridge before going out to search for them.

Bai Yan carefully looked at the contents of the pot, only seeing lumps of minced chicken parts scattered in the congee. The chicken head, chicken feet, chicken tail, as well as chicken feathers… were all floating in the porridge, mixing together, looking disgusting beyond comparison.

Bai Yan didn’t understand why Xu Lanfang would randomly cook some gruel, but after a glance, he once again covered the saucepan with the wooden lid.

Not long after he closed the saucepan, Jina suddenly widened her eyes, saying with urgency, “The human skin is inside the fire!”

As soon as she finished talking, Ye Shangyu immediately moved the cask, splashing all the water inside into the stove, extinguishing the fire.

Ye Shangyu coughed while extending her hand and grabbing the item without hesitation.

Her hands were muddied with wet soot, but she completely paid no mind to this, shaking out her left hand. A still scalding hot piece of human skin shook open and judging by the proportions of the human skin, it was about the size of Xu Lanfang’s body.

“Found it!”

A cheerful color flashed before Jina’s eyes. She then lowered her head, taking off the hair tie on her wrist, intending to tie her hair up again.

As Jina moved her hands to her hair, Ye Shangyu carried the human pelt and walked behind her as though she wanted to let her look at the human skin.

When Ye Shangyu walked over to Jina’s back, her right hand bent to a crooked shape, suddenly extending a fingernail to rigidly hook onto the ghostly face behind Jina’s head.

At the same time, her left hand threw the human skin to the ground, using her foot to step on it. After, her left hand blocked Jina’s mouth, while her right hand continued to put strength into her fingernail that was somewhat going into the ghostly face!

In almost a blink of an eye, a large amount of scarlet red blood gushed out.

The gurgling blood instantly stained the entire ghostly face. The ghostly face’s mouth grew bigger as if it was howling and cursing, but due to the massive amount of blood choking it, the ghostly face couldn’t excrete a single sound in the end, slowly withering away.

Everything until the fingernail piercing it happened in only a split second. After digging into the ghostly face, Ye Shangyu shouted in a severe voice, “Get him!”

Ye Shangyu didn’t mention his name, but Bai Yan immediately knew that Ye Shangyu was talking to him.

At this moment, he seemed to have understood.

There wasn’t enough time to think things through, so he cursed in his heart, one day, he’ll surely put an end to Ye Shangyu. Yet, his body gave Kenta an explicit kick.

Right now, things were clear. Ye Shangyu had long planned on killing Jina with her own hand, and if he didn’t quickly help Ye Shangyu, Ye Shangyu would then tidy him up after dealing with these two.

But, regardless if he assisted her or not, he and Ye Shangyu were a team by default. So, if Ye Shangyu were to lose, Jina and Kenta wouldn’t believe any of his explanations and would most probably get rid of him without any trouble. Helping Ye Shangyu, this plastic teammate of his, was still an opportunity to live.

Naturally, what made him genuinely help Ye Shangyu with firm resolution was still to keep up with appearances.

Ye Shangyu moved ruthlessly, her cheeks reinstating their rosy and glossy color, making clear that her earlier appearance was just an act. Jina’s eyes rolled white, seeming as if she couldn’t take it anymore, obviously unable to defeat Ye Shangyu.

The disparity between the two was clear, and standing by the sidelines, it was obvious at a glance.

Bai Yan still didn’t want to die right now, so no matter how bad his impression of Ye Shangyu was, he could only go along with her influence.

Normally, Bai Yan had no face(1), and when the time came to fight for his life, the more he didn’t know what a face was.

1. No face means no sense of shame. 

He first kicked Kenta in the crotch, causing fierce pain to flash across this big black man’s face.

However, Kenta’s reaction was also quick. He fought through the pain and pinched his legs together in the place where Bai yan wanted to kick again.

He tried to overturn Bai Yan, but Bai Yan grabbed a hold of his upper body, so both of them fell together and were unable to get up for a while.

Sensing that there was no sound coming from Jina’s side anymore, Kenta’s eyes turned red, his fists repeatedly flailing about in earnest, almost landing blows unilaterally.

On this earth, everything was decided on body weight alone. A black man’s constitution was innately sturdier, and adding onto the large black man’s diligent training, handling a person with an Asian frame was easy as pie.

However, despite being filled with muscles, he still couldn’t be free from Bai Yan’s unwavering hold, so he couldn’t help Jina.

“Get lost! You’re looking for death!”

“Why are you guys attacking Jina?”

Faced with Kenta’s question, Bai Yan was also exasperated, because even he didn’t know what the actual reason was.

‘You might not believe me when I say something. She really didn’t discuss this matter with me.’

‘I simply don’t share the same mind as her.’

‘I really don’t.’

Although Bai Yan felt that he was innocent, the big black man was unforgiving. Seeing that Bai Yan was slow to speak and still did not relinquish his grip, he immediately broke out into a rage.

Bai Yan’s abdomen took on several blows, causing a sweet yet fishy smell to bumble out of his throat and making him feel terrible.

Ye Shangyu pretended to vomit out more blood, so he was truly going to bleed to death from being punched by Kenta.

‘If you don’t come, I don’t need to wait for a ghost to kill me, I’ll have this African black man kill me!’

‘I helped you, so you should hurry up!’
