"It's not the time to dwell on this."
"The bathroom door has already been destroyed. I'm afraid hiding here any longer is impossible."
"Besides, even if the door were intact, the fact that one Vicious Ghost found us means a second, third, and fourth could find us too."
"If several appeared at once, we might not be able to deal with them so easily."
Yang Dong said grimly.
The bathroom had originally been a good place to take shelter. Even when the Vicious Ghost came looking for them, judging from what had just happened, the evil thing had paused at the doorway, at least giving them time to prepare.
Now that the door was shattered, the bathroom had lost its usefulness.
Next, they would probably have no choice but to face the supernatural directly. Unseen, the danger would multiply.
"Right. This can't go on."
“We don't know what's happening outside, and Evil Spirits could invade the building at any time. We can't keep fighting them forever. Even if every one of them is only a Ghost Slave, we still won't be able to hold out once their numbers grow.”
Meng Jian's expression was heavy.
There were still several hours until dawn. Who knew how many Evil Spirits they would attract during such a long time?
Strictly speaking, they were merely low-level Awakened. Their bodies could not withstand using supernatural power continuously for an extended period. If they overused it, the sinister things within their bodies would inevitably awaken and fight for control.
"Our only option now is..."
Before he could finish.
Suddenly.
Footsteps rang out once again on the stairs outside.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
The sound was light and faint, completely different from the heavy footsteps before. Yet in the deathly silent surroundings, it was exceptionally clear.
