How were they supposed to fight this?
The Vicious Ghost they had thought they had killed through their combined efforts had unexpectedly appeared before the three of them again, completely unharmed.
They had exhausted themselves and everything they had, using power that had nearly killed them on the spot. Yet all they had done was make the Vicious Ghost "unconscious" for a while. It seemed they had not even inflicted any real damage.
At that moment.
As official Awakened from Northern Territory Tower City, they felt for the first time the weight behind the words "Vicious Ghosts are hard to deal with," words often spoken by their counterparts from the Central Land. They also gained a clear understanding for the first time of why Vicious Ghosts could wear Awakened to death.
"What do we do?" Meng Wenwen asked, her voice trembling.
"Run!"
Yang Dong gritted his teeth.
"Before it comes up, let's go to the second floor and then split up. At least one of us might survive!"
With that.
He stopped hesitating and turned to run toward the second floor.
Hearing this, Meng Wenwen and Meng Jian also realized that they had reached the end of the road. They had originally thought that the three of them could fight to the death and drive the Vicious Ghost back, but now it seemed that this Vicious Ghost was far more terrifying than they had expected.
Even if they tried again, they would have no chance.
So.
There was only one path left.
Run!
Run separately!
Perhaps the Vicious Ghost would only be drawn to one of them.
Perhaps after escaping, their luck would be maxed out, and they would not encounter attacks from other Vicious Ghosts.
Perhaps...
In any case, out of countless reasons, only one was enough.
Staying behind
