Chapter 54 Escaping Ghost Town

"scarf?"

That was the equipment that Maeda Misaki gave to Kii.

The question is, how did Xiaohong see it?
It was clearly set to be hidden.

do not care.

Now that she couldn't go against Xiao Hong's wishes, Ji Yi had no choice but to comply.

Despite the pain, he used his other hand to remove the scarf that belonged to Maeda Misaki.

Hand it to Xiaohong.

Xiao Hong released Ji Yi's hand, which had been gripping her hand until it was soft and mushy.

He took the scarf in his hand and began to examine it.

Actually, I can also foresee a little bit of the future.

Data Eye popped up a message.

[In five seconds, she will become enraged and kill you because you used a prop to gain her favor.]

I watched the words flash by rapidly in front of me.

And through the words, there's Xiao Hong's eerie smile.

Ji Yi was momentarily dazed.

"Hee hee hee."

When Xiao Hong laughed again.

【run.】

Ji Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Swah——

He turned and sprinted away.

But he had only taken two steps.

The laughter abruptly stopped, as if it had been paused.

Turning around, Little Red's figure had already disappeared into the mist.

"So, the reason she wanted to hold my hand was because it's easy to get lost on the road to the underworld."

Ji Yi gritted her teeth and said that the pain in her hand was no different from real pain, and it was really unbearable.

Fortunately, they escaped.

All around was a thick fog, making it impossible to discern directions; the spatial rules here could not be understood by common sense.

"Whether intentional or not, she let me escape successfully, so it's unlikely that she will chase me again."

Xiao Hong does indeed have the ability to find people on the road to the underworld.

But Ji Yi was doomed to die if she got lost in the fog, so there was no need for her to chase after her.

Moreover, Xiao Hong is not stupid. Once this diversionary tactic is exposed, she will definitely rush to Ghost Town first.

"In this way, I have found the only way to survive."

Ji Yi looked at the text box in front of her.

Trust me, no one knows the way better than me.

[Take ten steps forward, then turn left three steps, then turn left three steps, then turn left three steps again, and continue turning left three steps.]

When Ji Yi returned to Ghost Town.

A silence.

It was deathly silent, without even the slightest chirping of insects or birds.

"I'm late?"

No, we arrived too early. The eighteen warlords are drinking merrily—no, they're lying in ambush.

I suggest you make some noise to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Ji Yi immediately raised her hands: "It's me! I escaped! Xiao Hong will be here soon!"

The voice just fell.

A sharp pair of scissors emerged from behind and was pressed against Ji Yi's neck.

"Miss Slit-Mouth, don't use your knife, I'm an ally."

A chilling aura was right behind me.

He kept his hands raised high, and even though his right hand was in excruciating pain, he did not make any suspicious moves.

Then, someone else emerged from the shadows.

"Ji Yi!"

Miss Cat's voice drifted from afar.

"Let him come over here quickly."

ten minutes later.

Ji Yi and Miss Cat hid in the shadows.

The blind old man was also standing nearby.

Miss Cat spoke up: "This old gentleman is named Shinichi Suzuki. I have explained the whole story to him, and he has temporarily remembered his identity."

"temporary?"

"Ah."

Before Miss Cat could explain anything further, Shinichi spoke up:

“It’s my fault. I’ve wasted too much energy here. Sixty years have passed, and I’ve squandered sixty years here because of carelessness.”

Shinichi's voice sounded a bit younger, but he still looked like an old man.

"It's just a B-rank ghost story. If it weren't for your arrival, I probably would have really been caught off guard. Don't worry, although I'm lacking in strength right now, dealing with Little Red is more than enough." More than enough?

Ji Yi recalled the scene from the previous timeline where the blind old man was instantly killed.

Okay, if you say so, then it is.

Then, Shinichi revealed his identity and his mission in detail.

After a while.

"You're actually from the Special Operations Division for Extraordinary Phenomena?"

Ji Yi was somewhat surprised.

He had long anticipated that this world was an illusion, but he never expected that the 14th floor of the Magic Tower would lead directly to the instance world he had visited before.

For Ji Yi, everything that happened in Kuchiba City had only been a week.

"Hehe, people from another world, so you've heard of the Phantom Special Operations Division. I'm ashamed to say that I rarely fail in handling strange tales. Anyway, don't let my appearance fool you, it doesn't represent the strength of the Phantom Special Operations Division. You've helped me a lot this time, and I'll reward you when we get out."

Ji Yi: "Okay, your last sentence is enough. It's much better than all that nonsense before."

Shen Yi: "."

Soon, everyone fell silent again.

A long-planned hunt is about to begin.

Half an hour later.

"Hehehe~"

Little Red's signature laughter echoed from outside Ghost Town.

The night was so quiet that her laughter, though not loud, was clearly audible.

"Hehehe~"

This time the laughter was louder and closer.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The joyful laughter quickly turned into maniacal hysteria.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

The sound was deafening.

Is she padding her word count?

Ji Yi: "."

"Interesting! Interesting! I haven't encountered anything this interesting in a long time!"

Xiao Hong stopped laughing.

She stood alone on the desolate street.

His mouth was still stretched into a grin by his ears.

suddenly.

Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.

"But...why?"

Xiao Hong lowered her voice.

"Why...why won't you just die? Why are you resisting me, you bunch of insects, trash, scum, dog shit, garbage, filthy maggots, vile beasts, wild dogs, why...why are you killing me?"

She was trembling all over, her tone filled with an extremely violent and terrifying resentment.

All of a sudden.

Her eyes turned bloodshot as she stared into the empty darkness of the street.

"come!"

She roared.

"Come on! Come on! Come and kill me! You bunch of idiots, who do you think gave you your power! I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

Xiao Hong became hysterical.

Come on, everyone!!!

She let out a piercing scream.

"Do it!!"

Shen Yi shouted.

Simultaneously.

brush brush --

A dozen or so figures that had been hiding suddenly sprang out.

Scissors, axe, hammer, claws.
A dozen different attacks struck Xiao Hong at the same time.

"Hahahaha!"

Little Red gushed blood from her mouth, yet she continued to laugh wildly.

Tears and blood slid down his cheeks.
