Zhang Lei's words exploded through the darkness, igniting everyone's fear.
The ghost was ahead?
Though many of them had not said it aloud before, everyone had worried most about whether, in this pitch-black environment, they might blindly walk right up to the ghost without even realizing it.
Despite their fears, everyone had still harbored a bit of hope, thinking they would not be so unlucky as to run into it.
However, cruel reality told them that luck simply did not exist.
The worst-case scenario had happened after all.
On the fourth floor of the dormitory building, they had encountered a real ghost. And laughably, it was not the ghost that had come looking for them—it was they who had gone looking for the ghost.
"Run!"
That was the only thought in everyone's mind.
With almost no hesitation, they turned and ran. No more than three seconds passed between Zhang Lei's warning and their actions. They had discussed this beforehand: once they encountered danger, no one was to hesitate. Whoever could escape, escaped.
Because this ghost was already an unsolvable existence. Ghost Tamers were only slightly better off than ordinary people before it, but not by much.
A string of hurried footsteps echoed through the darkened corridor.
The four Ghost Tamers turned and fled, sprinting through the darkness as they tried to get as far away as possible from the terror swallowed by the shadows behind them.
Zhang Lei's face was filled with terror as he turned and ran as well.
He had learned a great deal about this ghost from Headquarters. Precisely because he understood it, he had not joined the others in trying to work together to contain it.
This thing simply could not be contained.
Even if you succeeded once, the ghost's second wave of attacks would await
