Inescapable

Meng Fanxi yanked his gaze away from the screen like a flash of lightning. His heart pounded wildly. After a moment, he realized he hadn't lost consciousness and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just now, I must have met the 'Ghostly Thing's' gaze, right?"

"So as long as we don't look directly into its eyes, we won't be subjected to Soul Snatch?"

"We can observe them with instruments. As long as we don't meet their eyes directly, we'll be fine?"

Although he had this speculation, when Meng Fanxi looked at the screen again, he was still extremely cautious, afraid of meeting the eyes of another 'Ghostly Thing.'

Fortunately, the 'Ghostly Thing' on the screen didn't look toward the camera again. However, those things scattered throughout the residential complex had begun walking toward the mechs.

Meng Fanxi didn't respond. He looked at the screen and suddenly discovered that the giant 'Ghostly Thing,' which had been lying on the building with its chin propped up, was
