The game was paused?
The moment they regained the ability to move, they hurried to change hiding places, with no time to think about why this had happened.
Shen Hai moved first. At that moment, he was a pool of blood.
But now he moved in a strange way, floating in midair rather than flowing across the floor.
The ghost had already sucked some of his blood into its stomach. Staying here any longer could very well get him killed.
After thinking it through just now, Shen Hai had realized that the key was not concealing the appearance of the "blood," but hiding its bloody smell.
Humans had no idea just how keen a ghost's sense of smell was. In fact, after being diluted by the rain, that bloody smell had already become undetectable to humans.
But a dog could smell it.
Then... what about a ghost?
It had come to the Back Courtyard because it smelled the blood, hadn't it?
So this time, he had to find somewhere within thirty seconds, somewhere that could completely mask the bloody smell.
To conceal a smell, he could either dilute it until it was almost nonexistent, or put the object giving off the smell into a completely sealed space.
Or... mask it with a stronger smell.
I'm such an idiot... There was a perfectly good place right there, but I ran to the Back Courtyard, thinking I was so clever.
Shen Hai felt somewhat self-mocking.
He had already decided where to hide-the living room.
After Yang Liuye died, she had fallen onto the floor, leaving bloodstains there as well.
So even if the Vengeful Ghost could smell blood, it would overlook a place that already had blood in it.
Besides, the living room was somewhere both Vengeful Ghosts had to pass through.
