Chapter 72 Escape
Chapter 72 Escape
Ye Yao endured the severe pain as if his soul was being torn apart, curled up his body and pressed against the wall, and quickly walked through the pitch-black corridor.
He didn't know how Bai Zhi knew that he was following her.
No one knew why Feng Yusu appeared silently and turned into a yellow bird hiding behind a mantis.
He had no idea why the mother and daughter worked together so well, as if they had seen through his weakness from the very beginning and delivered a deadly sword without any hesitation.
But as a veteran who had been dealing with strange events for several years, Ye Yao's survival instinct told him that the only thing he should do now was to run away. Run away at all costs.
The invisible shadow was like a visible arrow at this moment. Ye Yao fled out of the hospital in panic. He knew he still had a chance. The hospital was still pitch black, and his ability to perceive shadows was still blocked. As long as he returned to his body immediately, there would be hope.
But a sudden burst of light shattered his hopes.
"Backup generator set..." Ye Yao gritted his teeth angrily.
Lights suddenly came on in the hospital which was plunged into darkness. The dormant wall-mounted lamps in the corridors illuminated the aisles. Some medical equipment that had been shut down due to power outage began to restart, like pumping plasma into dried-up blood vessels. With the start-up of the backup generator set, this reinforced concrete behemoth called the hospital building began to pulsate with a strong heartbeat again.
A backup generator set is something that is almost essential for every large facility such as a school, hospital, hotel, etc.
"This is a trap!" Ye Yao only began to regret his recklessness now, but it was too late. The dazzling light illuminated almost every inch of the place. From this moment on, the movements of all the shadows in the entire hospital were within his sight.
He couldn't escape.
"No, there is still a chance, there is still a chance..." Ye Yao still did not slow down and continued to rush towards the building where his real body was.
Even if he could monitor her movements, what would that do? Although the instant death rule of the special allowance was extreme, it would not increase her movement speed in any way. Feng Yushu could not outrun her, and she could not catch up.
But Ning Zhe can catch up.
An agile shadow flashed across the outer wall of the hospital, its broad wings catching the turbulent wind, and it flew quickly without making any sound.
This is a large bird of prey called the owl, commonly known as the owl. This bird of prey has extraordinary night vision and can fly freely in the jungle at night. Its specially constructed feathers allow it to move in the air without making any sound. There are at least twenty of them in Hengsha Ecological Park.
"He was moving in the direction of the building across the street."
Ning Zhe flapped his wings and flew across the street where street lights were on, rushing straight to the top of the building across the street from the hospital. He was no longer Feng Yusu now, so he could not use the special rules to sense the movement of Ye Yao's shadow, but the general direction of movement had been recorded.
The guy was so panicked by the fake special agent that he even forgot to make some deceptive tactical moves to confuse Ning Zhe's judgment. Relying on the excellent eyesight of the owl, Ning Zhe locked onto the man sitting on the top of the building against the wall in the dark night.
"Is this his true form?" Ning Zhe folded his wings and dived down.
Obviously, this person, like himself, possessed at least two different rules of two ghosts. One was the imprint of thought, and the other was to let his shadow leave the body and sneak around.
...So is there a third option?
Ning Zhe couldn't be sure, now was the time to test his luck.
What a coincidence, Ning Zhe is in great luck today.
The owl circled over the building, and after confirming that the man sitting on the roof had no reaction, it landed on the ground and transformed itself into a middle-aged security guard in work uniform, appearing in front of him. It grabbed the man's head with its big hands.
At the same time, Ye Yao, as if he had sensed something, ran around the hospital even more frantically. He had already sensed the coming of death.
But what he didn't anticipate was that death would come faster than he thought.
Ye Yao ran through the stairwell like crazy, sticking to the wall and heading straight to the first floor of the hospital. Knowing that Te Rang could sense his movement trajectory, even though he was in a hurry, he calmed down a little and still tried to move and jump along the wall and other shadows. Now was no exception. After rushing down the stairwell, Ye Yao instinctively avoided the lights that were turned on again, and continued to rush to the main entrance using the long shadow under a row of benches as a transition.
Then with a click, a light came on, revealing the man's figure under the bench. A left foot wrapped in black stockings and high heels fell lightly and stepped on Ye Yao who was about to leave the bench and rush towards the main door.
Click—the heel hits the ground.
This time it was not Ning Zhe who used Taiyi to forge a false rule. The foot stepping on Ye Yao's head belonged to the real Feng Yusu herself. It turned out that she was sitting on the chair just now.
The real concession rule was triggered at this moment, like a sharp nail nailing a live snake to the floor.
This time there was no struggle or wailing. The incomplete human-shaped shadow was completely nailed to the ground in an instant. Without even making a sound, its life was completely extinguished.
If you step on your shadow, you will die. The rule of the special concession is so simple and plain.
At the moment of nailing Ye Yao to death, Feng Yusu knew its name:
"Ye Yao?" Feng Yuxu frowned. What a strange name, just like "Te Rang".
She put down the umbrella in her hand and looked up at the building across the street. She could feel Ning Zhe was there.
Ning Zhe just broke Ye Yao's neck.
"Is it over?" Ning Zhe thought for a moment, "No... not yet."
Because just when Feng Yusu killed Ye Yao's shadow and Ning Zhe twisted his physical neck, in an instant, the originally dark sky became bright, and a rising sun hung high above the dome, casting scorching light on the earth.
But this rising sun only existed for a few seconds before disappearing immediately. The Taoyuan City of four years ago fell into darkness again.
Although the magnificent scene just now was strange, it did not cause any impact on the people on the ground and was gone in a flash.
Ning Zhe dialed Feng Yusu's number with doubts and asked her in detail about the specific situation just now. ... There is no doubt that the ghost named Ye Yao is dead, killed by the instant death rule of Te Rang, and Feng Yusu already knows its name.
But for some unknown reason, the special rule only killed Ye Yao, but failed to kill the other ghost in this man.
【业夭】died.
The 'God Who Cannot Be Looked At' is gone.
Ning Zhe thought for a moment and roughly understood the logic: "After the person who controls the ghost dies, the ghost he controls will regain his freedom."
"This man controls two different demons, 'Ye Yao' and 'The God Who Cannot Be Looked At Directly'. Ye Yao's ability is to make his own shadow leave his body and sneak around."
"The instant death rule of Te Ran can only be triggered by a shadow, and gods don't have shadows."
Therefore, Ye Yao changed his host, and the god who regained his freedom ascended to the sky again.
But because the time window of dawn and dusk when the sun and moon are in the same sky was not reached, God could not look directly at the earth, and thus could not influence the people on earth. So God left.
"Wait a minute, if that's the case..." Ning Zhe looked at the corpse in front of him with its neck twisted to the right, and a bizarre guess came to his mind: "Ye Yao's ability seems to be highly complementary to Te Rang."
Does this mean that this person’s target on this trip is most likely not Zhao You, but Te Rang?
So the person who released ghosts and killed people in Bishuiwan Manor that night was not him?
