Collapsing Victims Alliance

The Bang Bang Victims' Alliance

Ren Leshan froze, looking at Mice Love to Eat Cats, who hadn't moved beside him.

It hadn't come from either of them... Someone else had made that sound.

No—there was no guarantee it was even human.

Mice Love to Eat Cats had already pinpointed where the sound came from. He hunched his shoulders fearfully and glanced at Ren Leshan's back, then switched off his flashlight and ducked behind the claw machine at lightning speed.

"Come hide over here!" Mice whispered urgently from behind the machine.

The claw machine in front of them wasn't very big, so it was hardly a good hiding place. Worse, it was glowing brightly and sure to draw attention. Anything passing by would look its way, even if it ignored everything else. Hiding beside it was the worst choice possible.

But after spending some time with Mice, Ren Leshan had gained a fairly good understanding of him. He wasn't surprised to see him do something like this.

Maybe it was for the best. If a ghost came, it would see Mice first and kill him first.

With someone like that buying him time, Ren Leshan could get farther away.

Ren Leshan ignored Mice's invitation and started toward the opposite direction from the sound. But then he noticed a light flickering behind him.

A flashlight.

Ghosts didn't need flashlights.

Ren Leshan frowned slightly and looked toward where the sound had come from. Even from a distance, he could see a bright beam of light. Someone was approaching with a flashlight.

Its owner was obviously the one who had made the "thud, thud" sound.

Mice Love to Eat Cats seemed to realize that ghosts didn't need flashlights either. He sprang out from behind the claw machine. "It's a person! Looks like a person."
