"Bang, bang, bang..."
The footsteps behind him were so heavy, like dense and dull drum beats. Every step seemed to step on Zhao Hai's heart, making him breathless.
He ran away in a hurry, his fat face full of uneasiness, and he regretted for the first time how many times he had come to such a ghostly place.
What a bullshit equality paradise, whether it is the so-called challenge project or the explorer, there has never been any equality here!
The challenges are so rare that they can cost you your arm, or even your life in serious cases. The group of explorers are even more ruthless, casually forcing people to be used as trailblazers, with no regard for the lives of others.
He still remembered the desperate expression of that woman before she died not long ago. The rules of Equality Paradise did not kill her, but she died under the gun of the person who forced her.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad. However, what emerged in Zhao Hai's heart at that time was not too much sadness and anger. On the contrary, he was very happy, extremely happy——
Fortunately, the person who was arrested and sent to death was not me. Fortunately, because of that woman's existence, I didn't look like the most useless one.
I have to say that although the guy named Ge Yang was ruthless, his words were indeed realistic and cruel——
"The restricted area never needs useless people. Whether it is the restricted area itself or the team of explorers, the only role of useless people is to verify the horror of the restricted area, just like a passerby is always needed to set off the power of the protagonist."
Zhao Hai regretted it extremely, he was still too naive, otherwise he would not have come to Equality Paradise with a few words of encouragement from others. This was not the place he should come to at all.
For now, let alone getting rare treasures and other good things from the Equality Paradise in exchange for money, I'm afraid my life will be at stake here if I'm not careful.
At this moment, all the lights in Pingping Paradise have been extinguished, but the surroundings are not completely dark, but glowing with a faint green light.
Zhao Hai couldn't find the source of the light. Everything he saw seemed to be covered with a green screen, which was eerie and weird, and more penetrating than seeing nothing at all.
There was no wind, and the buildings on both sides of the road remained unchanged. However, the shadows on the ground continued to tremble.
The footsteps behind him were slow but became clearer and seemed to be approaching step by step.
Zhao Hai didn't know what was chasing him, but there was no doubt that it was not a human being.
He didn't have the courage to stop and fight with the opponent, just to survive the thirty minutes of cleaning. The screams at the beginning of the cleaning still seemed to be echoing in his ears, stirring up fear in him.
From the moment the lights went out, the entire Equality Paradise seemed to be completely alive, with countless monsters wandering in the darkness, ruthlessly hunting outsiders.
Zhao Hai firmly remembered the prisoner's words, so he never approached the amusement facilities in the park after the cleaning began. He just kept running along the road, trying to find a suitable hiding place.
But Pingping Paradise is an amusement park after all, and there are mostly amusement facilities inside. Being unable to get close to the amusement facilities means there is nowhere to hide.
It’s not like Zhao Hai has never tried to hide in non-amusement buildings such as toilets, but he doesn’t know if the founder of Equality Paradise is obsessed with money. He even needs park coins to go to the toilet, otherwise he won’t be able to get in at all.
.
Although he could borrow money, how could he dare to continue to reduce his paradise coins? He already owed Ping Ping Paradise six paradise coins, and continuing to borrow money would only lead to death.
While thinking, Zhao Hai suddenly noticed something was wrong——
It's too quiet.
The surroundings became increasingly quiet, and there was no sound other than the footsteps following closely behind him, which made him feel uneasy for no reason.
It was clear that when he was escaping before, he could vaguely hear other people's voices, but now he couldn't hear anything, as if he was the only one left in the Equality Paradise.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The dull footsteps accelerated rhythmically, just like Zhao Hai's increasingly rapid heartbeat.
Without any hesitation, he suddenly raised his breath, and his fat body burst out with infinite strength, speeding up his pace and sprinting towards a thick pillar.
As he quickened his pace, the footsteps behind him suddenly became more rapid, which made Zhao Hai's heart suddenly sink.
The monster could obviously see his movements, otherwise it wouldn't have accelerated its pace to follow him.
Maybe the other party had the ability to catch up with him quickly, but he just followed him unhurriedly, always maintaining a fixed distance, and slowly harvesting his fear.
——Hunters usually like to torture their prey in this way.
Zhao Hai's thoughts turned quickly and he ran with all his strength. When he passed a shadow at the corner, he suddenly rolled on the spot and hid behind a pillar. He stopped his breathing, controlled his heartbeat, and tried his best to blend with the shadow, so as to fuse himself with the shadow.
The sense of presence is reduced to a minimum.
As an unemployed vagrant, Zhao Hai has experienced countless chases in the past days of sneaking around and has his own unique escape method, but he just doesn't know if this method will work on monsters.
But I can only take a gamble.
His physical strength was no longer enough to support him to continue escaping, not to mention that the chase would last for thirty minutes.
He regained his strength and quietly pricked up his ears, trying to determine the pursuer's location through the sound of footsteps so that he could respond in time.
However, Zhao Hai soon froze, a strong uneasiness emerged in his heart, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead——
Not because the footsteps were approaching, but because the dull footsteps disappeared.
That's right, it completely disappeared.
Zhao Hai's fear was instantly ignited.
Of course, he would not be so naive as to think that he had successfully escaped the monster's pursuit, because even if the monster really lost his trace, it would definitely search everywhere instead of staying still and making no sound - unless the other party
He also hid.
Of course, the most likely explanation is that the monster has actually discovered him, and is now standing in a dark corner, looking at the desperate works he has created with an appreciative gaze.
Zhao Hai felt chills running down his spine when he thought of this scene.
He was leaning against the thick pillar, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt a look full of malice.
This look was so vicious that it instantly made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and his teeth were chattering.
Intuition told Zhao Hai that the pursuer was very close to him, so close that he could almost feel his cold breath.
He had a look of horror on his face, and after looking around to no avail, a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind——
Is that monster hiding on the other side of the pillar?
As soon as this idea came up, he couldn't stop it. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, but he couldn't believe that the distance between himself and the pursuer was really less than half a meter.
The faint green light flickered on and off, the air was eerily quiet, and the surrounding buildings were silent, like a tall tomb that could bury him at any time.
Zhao Hai knew that he had to verify his conjecture as soon as possible, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stick his body out from behind the pillar inch by inch, intending to see what was on the back of the pillar.
However, as soon as he showed his head, he almost scared himself to death.
There was no monster behind the pillar, only a fat man with a green face!
The fat man in the mirror looked frightened, and his expression was exactly the same as that of Zhao Hai himself. Naturally, he was very familiar with this face, wasn't it exactly what he looked like?
This is...a mirror?
Zhao Hai naturally couldn't think that way. He was the first challenger of the "Please do this like me" project. He looked at the mirror and took off his own head, which naturally created a lot of psychological shadow in his heart.
His intuition told him that the safest way right now was to leave here as soon as possible and find another place to hide. However, just as he was about to move, an encouraging voice suddenly appeared in his heart——
"The monster doesn't know where it is hiding, so why is it going out to die? Maybe this is really just a mirror. If you don't believe me, touch it and see..."
Zhao Hai's eyes were confused for a moment, and his heart was suddenly shaken. After hesitating for a long time, he reached out and touched forward carefully.
At the same time, Zhao Hai in the mirror also stretched out his fat arm, and their palms overlapped without any warmth.
Zhao Hai felt a cold and smooth touch on his palm. Zhao Hai was still uneasy and touched it several times before confirming that what he saw in front of him was indeed a mirror.
But instead of relaxing, he became more and more nervous.
Because he knows very well that there is a monster that can hide in the mirror in Equality Paradise.
What if there's a monster in the mirror...
And just for such a moment, Zhao Hai's pupils suddenly shrank when he came back to his senses.
Because he saw a huge figure appearing out of thin air in the mirror, wearing a black robe and holding a sharp iron hook covered with barbs in his hand. The body of the hook was dark red, and it looked like solidified blood.
Zhao Hai was so frightened that he turned around suddenly. Who knew that there was nothing behind him, and there was a huge figure holding an iron hook somewhere?
It was unusually quiet behind me, and I could only see the empty green streets and tall buildings, as well as the weird shadows shaking on the ground, but nothing else.
Looking at the mirror again, the figure was still standing next to him, and he slowly stretched out the iron hook and stabbed Zhao Hai on the shoulder.
"ah!"
Zhao Hai almost screamed and subconsciously turned around to avoid it, causing the huge figure's attack to miss.
The other party's reaction made him sigh in relief.
The movements of the huge figure are not very fast. As long as you are careful, you can completely avoid it. It is not a complete dead end.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, but finally did not dare to leave the mirror, because he was worried that the monster in the mirror could only appear in the mirror. Once he left the mirror, he might not be able to see the other person, which would cause trouble.
To be continued...
