Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

For some reason, the corridor in the teaching building wasn't originally this long, but at this moment, its length was forcibly stretched out.

Everyone stood there, panting heavily, while shining their flashlights behind them.

The corridor behind them was empty; there was no one there.

The monsters seen from that classroom didn't seem to be chasing after us.

But whether this is temporary or not, no one can guarantee.

"That thing just now was..." Zhang Liya said, still shaken.

"It's a ghost..."

Does such a thing really exist in this world?

"Didn't we all see that?" Chen Jie's face contorted in pain.

"Damn it, how could we actually run into this?"

"Damn it, damn it..."

Listening to the conversation between the two people behind him, Zhang Hao took deep breaths to calm his tension and fear.

He shone his flashlight on both sides in front of him.

There were still classrooms on both sides.

'112', '113'

The doorplates displayed the numbers of the two classrooms.

'So what lies ahead is....'

Zhang Hao shone his flashlight ahead.

Classroom 115, the place where the group and another team member, Gong Si, planned to meet.

Here, the vengeful school janitor, played by Gong Si, will suddenly jump out of the classroom and chase after everyone in the school building.

Gong Si...

Thinking back to their previous ordeal and the monsters roaming outside the teaching building, Zhang Hao didn't think Gong Si, who had entered the school before them, was in a good position.

Or rather, it's already a case of the odds being against them.

Zhang Hao slowed his pace and walked forward.

The flashlight beam could only reach a limited area, about three meters in front of him.

Zhang Hao moved forward slowly, and with each step, his vision expanded a little further ahead.

At this moment, Zhang Liya and the others also ended their conversation and followed closely behind Zhang Hao.

In this situation, a relatively calm and rational person is undoubtedly the team's last lifeline.

The darkness was gradually peeled away, and no one knew what lay ahead.

But one thing is certain: there will always be a step taken, and then one will foresee the truly terrifying things lurking in the darkness.

For example, right now...

Within the beam of light, a massive silhouette suddenly appeared ahead.

It was a burly figure that was nearly three meters tall.

He was wearing a black work uniform with shoulder straps, which was covered in bloodstains. His two thick, muscular arms, with prominent veins, hung down between his thighs.

He was holding a huge, rusty, saw-toothed kitchen knife in his right hand.

The figure kept its head down until the flashlight beam shone on it, at which point it raised its head and revealed a black mask to the crowd.

On one side of the mask, four single eyes lit up with a red glow.

The nature of paranormal exploration has not changed.

It's just that what started as a live stream with a large audience has turned into a one-man show by the four of them.

What was originally a gimmicky performance turned into a real chase.

That's all...

"run!"

Zhang Hao issued another order, although it was still the same instruction.

But when faced with the unknown and irresistible forces, running... is indeed the only way for ordinary humans to resist.

Chapter 89 Hospitality

"run!"

In fact, even without Zhang Hao saying anything, this was the first reaction that came to the minds of the other three.

The sense of danger and fear emanating from the monster before them was far greater than that of the one they had seen in the classroom before.

After all, back in the classroom, there was at least a window separating everyone from the monster, and this physical barrier provided a negligible sense of security.

But now, the monster is truly right in front of them, with no obstacles between them, only a distance of three meters or so that can be crossed in a few steps.

The shock and oppression of facing the monster head-on felt like a boulder falling on everyone's spirit.

The butcher moved just as the four men turned around almost simultaneously.

The ground trembled violently. The distance of three meters was covered in just two steps. The other party swung his heavy serrated knife at Zhang Hao, who was closest to him.

Zhang Hao felt a tingling sensation in his back, and a fierce whooshing sound came from behind him.

He instinctively bent down and rolled forward.

bump!

A loud bang was heard, and this time the entire corridor shook.

The butcher's serrated knife, amplified by terrifying brute force, was forcibly embedded into the wall.

The entire wall caved in, and cracks spread outwards from the point of impact.

Zhang Hao didn't dare to look back even once. After rolling and dodging, he immediately got up and ran forward frantically.

Zhang Hao has the best physical fitness among them. In fact, before joining this paranormal adventure live streaming team, he was a fitness coach and was very passionate about outdoor adventure.

Outdoor adventure here doesn't refer to visiting abandoned old houses and ruins, but rather to traveling deep into famous mountains and rivers.

Although he was at the back of the group at first, once he picked up his pace, Zhang Hao easily overtook Chen Jie, who was running in front.

Now, at the end of the line is Fatty Jiang Xiong.

As the saying goes, when a group of people encounter dangerous creatures in the wild, such as black bears, lions, and tigers, they ask how to escape with their lives.

It's very simple, you just need to run faster than your teammates.

"Damn you... Why are you running so fast!"

Seeing the crowd running away with all their might, the fat man couldn't help but curse.

Because of his size and weight, his physical strength was the worst among these people, only slightly better than Gong Si, whose fate was unknown.

She's not even as good as Zhang Liya, the only girl in the team.

As he watched the distance between himself and his companions grow ever wider, a look of despair appeared on the fat man's face.

Although I didn't know what was behind me, the trembling feeling that was pressing on my nerves grew stronger and stronger, as if it was about to seep into my bones.

"Click..."

The fat man suddenly leaned forward and fell heavily to the ground.

Matching the cracking sound was the fat man's agonizing scream:

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The fat man's right leg was completely bent.

Less than half a meter behind him, the butcher was slowly retracting his right hand, which had just made a chopping motion.

Blunt weapon attack... For some reason, the butcher didn't use the serrated side of the knife, but instead used the back of the blade to smash the fat man's leg off.

The fat man's scream made Zhang Hao, who was running in front, turn around and look back as he ran.

The butcher was seen holding the fat man's leg with one hand and lifting him up like a chick.

The fat man, whose body was hanging upside down, seemed to have reached a threshold due to intense pain and had fainted, becoming silent.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao was even more shaken.

The fat man weighed over 200 pounds, but he was easily caught like this.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the monster's power is.

In short... you absolutely cannot confront them head-on.

Clutching his first prey, and watching the remaining three fleeing figures, the butcher stopped and did not continue the pursuit.

The principle that as long as you escape faster than your teammates, you will be safe from harm is correct, but there is a major premise: the beasts chasing them have limited food, and they must be able to escape to a safe range before the beasts chase them again.

But this premise obviously doesn't apply here.

The butcher withdrew his gaze, grabbed his prey, and turned to disappear into the darkness.

It arrived at a classroom somewhere.

The classroom has been renovated and is no longer recognizable.

The original lectern has been turned into a slaughterhouse.

There was a row of hooks on the ceiling.

Holding the fat man, the butcher prepared to hang his prey up.

There is an important step before slaughtering the prey: listening to its desperate cries.

Compared to tearing open the prey's body, ripping off its limbs, and tasting its entrails, what is truly more delicious is the fear and despair emanating from the prey before its death.

This is what truly makes the food delicious and satisfying for it, and also the source of its strength.

Those prey that are still on the run also fall into this category.
