Ren-Style Penmanship

He thought of many possibilities, but he never expected the person ahead to be Gu Mian.

Wasn't this Anzhi Tinglan on good terms with Gu Mian?

Why was she running back the other way after seeing Gu Mian?

Ren Leshan could not dwell on this, however, as he only wanted to shake off the pursuing Gu Mian as soon as possible.

Although he had not seen Gu Mian's name on the list provided by the dungeon earlier, he had suspected that the other man had entered this dungeon, and seeing him now, it turned out to be true.

The ghost behind spotted Gu Mian at almost the exact same time as he did, and their reactions were strikingly uniform: both slammed on the brakes, then whipped their heads around and fled in the direction they had come from, save for one running on the ground and the other hanging upside down.

Anzhi Tinglan's speed in the front had slowed somewhat, and soon the two people and one ghost squeezed together into a clump, scrambling to escape the U-shaped tunnel.

Meanwhile, the trailing Gu Mian drew closer and closer, almost wedging himself into their cluster.

Still in the lead for the moment, Anzhi Tinglan noticed a gooey-looking patch not far ahead and decisively bolted toward it.

That was likely an obstacle zone, and she had a hypothesis that needed testing inside; if her guess proved correct, this obstacle zone might just help her stall Gu Mian.
