Wan Jie Hospice Care Company

The moment the man rushed out the door, he was bewildered.

The corridor lights were a stark white, and there was an indescribable musty smell in the air. He stood frozen in place, his mind blank, as if it had been formatted.

What...what was I just doing?

Why am I running?

He instinctively lowered his head.

On his arm, a bright red character in blood was slowly dripping down with the blood.

"run?"

Where are you running to? What are you running for? What do you mean?

But his body was more honest than his mind. A deep-seated fear drove him, and he started running recklessly. He ran through the apartment building, through the residential complex, and all the way to the park next to it.

He looked around at the bustling park, the crowds of people like a pot of lukewarm water, immersing him completely, and for a moment he lost his sense of urgency.

The shouts of vendors selling candied hawthorns, the laughter of children, and the elderly exercising... all this vibrant, everyday life rushed over him, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

He stared at the word "run" on his arm and couldn't help but shudder.

He didn't understand why there were bloody words on his arm. But there was one thing he was absolutely certain of: crowded places were always safe, right?

This is an intuition etched into human genes for tens of thousands of years. Wolves don't enter human populations, and even ghosts should fear the light.

He comforted himself with these words and slowly raised his head.

Then, he saw that face.

A passerby in front of him was staring wide-eyed at what was behind him.

"Th-th-th-there is..." The passerby's lips trembled, unable to spell out a single complete word.

The man froze.

He turned around slowly, bewildered.

A child without eyes was standing three steps behind him, looking up at him and smiling.

"ah!!!!!"

He screamed, then turned and ran again, but...

He forgot again.

A pair of small, cool hands gently rested on his arm.

"Come back..."

His body quickly withered away, and the ghost child tilted his head, watching the man shrink into a human skeleton.

Then, it reached out and slowly folded the mummified corpse.

"Hehe, I'll be playing with you guys next." The ghost child slowly disappeared, watching the horrified looks on the faces of the people in the park.

As soon as the words were spoken, its figure slowly disappeared into the sunlight, like water vapor evaporating.

The panic in the park lasted only a moment; the fear in people's eyes receded quickly like the tide.

Why did you suddenly turn around? Weren't we walking that way?

"I don't know, let's keep wandering around."

"I'll go buy some cilantro later..."

……

The group witnessed the ghost child run away, and then lost all memory of the ghost child.

About two or three minutes later, just as the two policemen were staring at the mechanical clock, feeling that their time had been stolen again, the ghost child reappeared.

It carried the folded skeleton in its hand, casually placed it down, and stacked it neatly next to the woman's corpse, like stacking two pieces of luggage that had just been packed.

"..."

The two policemen were shocked again, while Xiang Yu remained silent.

When the ghost was grabbing people earlier, he had secretly written down a few keywords on his arm so that he could deduce the strange events they had encountered if he suffered amnesia again.

He had already deduced the strange ability while he was suffering from amnesia, and he was the only one present who knew that the enemy still existed.

At that moment, he looked down at his arm and gleaned crucial information from the keywords on it.

"Ghosts are chasing people, lately."

"One death, next."

These are four words on my arm.

When the devil child proposed three more games, he realized something.

In the game of tag, the ghost child will grab the person closest to him first.

It must have been some unlucky person who chose tag and ended up getting caught because they were closest to the ghost child... so they wrote down this rule.

Furthermore, if one person dies in a game, the next game will begin, and the others can choose the game type again.

How pitiful, Xiang Yu thought to himself.

So how can we take advantage of this rule?

He was reminded of his deceased neighbor.

Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"...

Moonwalk...

A slight smirk crept onto his lips. He had to admit, the testimonies these two policemen had collected were absolutely hellish.

The reason that neighboring couple was dancing to "Billie Jean" before they died wasn't because they were leisurely learning the moonwalk; they were being forced to walk backwards!

It must be said that this neighbor is quite clever. Even with his memories being manipulated at will, he managed to figure out how to escape by keeping an eye on the ghost child running backwards.

The problem is, humans simply can't run fast backwards!

Although we don't know how athletic this kid is, we figured that the reason we lost our memories earlier was because he chased someone out and jumped around for a few minutes before coming back.

That proves that under normal circumstances, this little devil should not be able to outrun an adult sprinting at full speed.

However, because the neighbor could only run backwards, his running speed was greatly limited, and even if he had his memory, he wouldn't be able to run very far before he was caught.

"Hurry up and choose, hurry up and choose!" the ghost child laughed, looking at the four of them. "What are you guys trying to do?"

"I choose tag."

Xiang Yu said without hesitation, and as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and came to stand in front of the ghost child, only three meters away from it.

The two police officers and An Ling kept their distance as far as possible, but when An Ling saw Xiang Yu walk up to the ghost child, she couldn't help but cry out, "Brother Xiang, danger!"

Xiang Yu turned his back to her, shook his head, and then gave a thumbs up.

no problem.

An Ling wanted to say something more, but looking at Xiang Yu's tall and composed back, she could only suppress her anxiety.

Xiang Yu faced the ghost child directly, while the ghost child stared back at him with empty eye sockets.

"one……"

"two……"

"three……"

"Hehe, I'm coming to catch you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon child kicked off with both feet and pounced towards the corner like a pale white lightning bolt!

Xiang Yu turned to one side, his back slender as a willow, and gently leaned back.

The ghost child missed its target, its small body barely brushing past his clothes, bringing with it a chilling gust of wind.

From beginning to end, Xiang Yu's gaze remained fixed on it, never wavering for a moment.

The ghost child was not discouraged, and its face still showed only a smile. But this time, its speed suddenly increased, and its afterimage became a dotted line. It charged towards the corner again!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, forcefully lifting himself into the air with both legs.

That leap actually propelled him a height of 1.3 meters!

In a split second, he grabbed the chandelier overhead, his body tracing a smooth arc in mid-air. Then, he pushed off the wall with both legs, using the rebound force to launch himself like a cannonball towards the open door!

The ghost child's neck twisted suddenly at an eerie angle, chasing after it as it rushed out the door, heading straight for the corner.

In the corridor, Xiang Yu's body was as agile as the monkeys leaping and bounding on the summit of Mount Emei.

The railings became props he could use at will. He flipped and twirled on the railings, his figure almost leaving afterimages, so that the ghost child couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes for a moment.

And those eyes remained fixed on the ghost child.

Seeing Xiang Yu rush out like that, An Ling gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and followed him!

"Hey, little girl, what are you doing following along?"

After hesitating for a moment, the two policemen decided to give chase after An Ling after she ran out.

Xiang Yu's gaze was fixed on the mischievous child, yet his footwork remained completely unaffected. His agile movements, leaping and twisting through the stairwell, were in no way inferior to those of a seasoned professional parkour expert!

Come on, let me show you the agility I just added!

The ghost child missed his target time and time again, and the childlike smile on his face gradually disappeared.

It suddenly grinned, revealing a set of stark white teeth. Its once youthful face was completely distorted and deformed, as if it wanted to swallow Xiangyu whole, skin and bones.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu merely raised an eyebrow slightly.

He reached out and hooked his hand on the railing, using the momentum to perform a nimble somersault, and actually flipped from the fifth floor to the fourth floor!

The moment I landed, my knees sank, dissipating all the impact, and I was as steady as a rock.

Such agile movements did not hinder his gaze from being fixed on the ghost child at all!

An Ling and the police, who were jogging behind, were dumbfounded. If they had been allowed to go up there, they would have died countless times by now. How could they still be so relaxed and at ease?

The ghost child seemed to be angry with Xiang Yu, and leaped over more than a dozen flights of stairs, landing in front of Xiang Yu in just two steps.

Xiang Yu quickened his pace again. Although he was walking backwards, his speed had already left the three people who were going all out to go downstairs far behind!
