Arima Kisho, who was at the front, began to retreat slowly, while making a silent gesture.
Su Xiao is not a pig teammate. After nodding to Arima Kisho, the three of them began to gradually retreat.
The reason why the three of them were like this was because after passing that corner, a large open space appeared in front of them.
In this open space, there are at least a thousand monster ghouls.
The reason why they are called monster ghouls is because the appearance of these ghouls is very strange, even terrifying.
The skin of these ghouls is dark, as if burned by fire, and the skin is rough.
Different from ordinary ghouls, these ghouls have their tails exposed, and these ghouls all have tails, as if they have an extra tail behind them.
These monster ghouls don't have red eyes. To be precise, they don't have eyes.
Their eyes should have degenerated, with a gray-white hard shell attached to the surface of the eyes.
Su Xiao and the others have been exposed to these ghouls, but these ghouls did not notice the three of them.
After the three of them retreated some distance, Arima Kisho let out a long sigh of relief.
"I've seen this type of ghoul once. They rely on hearing to hunt and are extremely difficult to deal with. If a ghoul of this size is alerted, we are no match."
Sure enough, Arima Kisho knows some of the secrets of District 24.
At least in the original work, Su Xiao has never seen a primitive ghoul or this kind of eyeless ghoul.
"What should we do now?"
Yuna looked at Kisho Arima, and it seemed that Kisho Arima was her backbone.
"Change the road."
Su Xiao said nothing, and Yuna had no objection.
The three of them started looking for other routes, but two hours later, they discovered something.
Except for where the eyeless ghouls are, the other four routes are dead ends.
Judging by the compass, that direction is the only way to the ground.
The three of them sat in a group in a passage and began to discuss countermeasures.
Su Xiao didn't know when there was an extra notebook in his hand, and there was also a pen in his hand.
"We have never been here, here, or here. Judging from the map I drew, Area 24 is somewhat shaped like a hole.
The direction leading to the depths of Area 24 is the big end of the funnel, and the way to the ground is the small end. Because of this, it is possible to walk to Area 24 with a fixed direction.
Judging from the 17 dead ends I led the way before, this is the only way out."
After Su Xiao wrote and drew in the notebook, a detailed map appeared on the notebook.
The map is even marked with longitude, latitude, and zoom ratio.
Yuna looked at Lidya Su with admiration.
"How did you do it? Do you remember all the routes you took before?"
Not only Yuna, a neurotic girl, was shocked, but Kisho Arima also looked at Su Xiao in surprise.
The carbon pen rotated rapidly in Su Xiao's hand.
"My previous 'career' was a bit special. I would often sneak into a certain place to find a specific person. This is a professional habit."
Yuna thought for a moment.
"Sounds like a killer."
"Same nature, different beliefs."
Lidya Su looked up at the two people.
"What, should we wait for the next terrain change in Area 24, or take the risk and try to cross that dangerous area."
Arima Kisho and Yuna thought about it for a while.
"Our supplies won't last until the next terrain change in Area 24."
Yuna and Arima Kisho carry food and fresh water, which is only enough for four days. If they starve, they can last until the next terrain change in Area 24. However, if they starve, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply.
Su Xiao has enough supplies, but he doesn't want to be trapped here forever. The time he spends in the derivative world is precious.
"Without making any sound, those special ghouls won't notice us."
Arima Kisho spoke, it seemed that he wanted to take a chance.
"Then, let's take a risk."
Arima Kisho and Yuna stood up.
"Since I decided to take the risk, I have a plan."
Lidya Su suddenly spoke.
"any solution?"
"Since those ghouls are aware of sound, we can place the sound source here on the map. Then we wait at this location on the map. When the sound source sounds, it will attract the attention of those special ghouls. Then we will take the opportunity to pass through,"
Su Xiao didn't want to fight those eyeless ghouls head-on. Judging from Arima's attitude, those eyeless ghouls were definitely not easy to deal with.
"Yes, I have used a similar method before, and the effect is remarkable."
“Where does the sound come from?”
Su Xiao took out a mobile phone with a smile, pressed the screen of the mobile phone with her thumb, and operated quickly.
"The time is set to five minutes, which is enough."
After saying that, Su Xiao put the phone on the ground, and the three of them ran forward quickly.
Soon, the three of them came to a dead end. The location here was very close to the location of those eyeless ghouls.
"Du, du, du~, du..., あらっちゃっちゃちゃびりばりり..."
A burst of cheerful music sounded in the distance, and Yuna, a nervous girl, actually began to twist her body and shake her hands rhythmically in front of her.
"It's actually my favorite onion dumping song."
Yuna's painting style suddenly changed, leaving Su Xiao speechless for a while, and Arima Kisho also turned his head.
A few seconds after the music started, there was a sound of rapid running.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
It seemed like thousands of troops were galloping, and three people not far away could hear it.
Not long after, the sound of large footsteps could be heard in the distance. The three of them looked at each other and ran towards the only way out.
We don't have much time, who knows if those eyeless ghouls will suddenly come back.
The three of them were all very fast. Arima Kisho took the lead, Yuna was in the middle, and Su Xiao was in the rear. It was still the original formation.
In just ten seconds, the three of them ran to the previous corner.
Arima Kisho suddenly stopped and raised one hand behind his back, his palm facing Su Xiao and the other two.
Su Xiao immediately stopped and looked at the large open space behind the corner.
In this open space, there are some eyeless ghouls vaguely staying. There are actually some of these eyeless ghouls left, and not all of them have been lured away.
"what to do."
Yuna lowered her voice as low as possible.
"Don't make any noise and walk through slowly."
Arima Kisho walked in front with gentle steps, and Yuna followed behind Arima Kisho.
Su Xiao stood there and did not move. Arima Kisho looked at Su Xiao with some confusion.
Su Xiao pointed behind her, then pointed at the two of them, and moved her fingers forward.
The meaning is obvious. If three people move forward at the same time, they will make a louder noise, and the ghouls behind don't know when they will come back. You guys will pass first, and I will take the rear here.
Arima Kisho nodded and made a cautious gesture.
Yuna stretched out her thumb and stood there, waiting for Arima Kisho to pass first.
Su Xiao did this not because he was sacrificing himself for others. Now the three of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they must not behave like pig teammates.
Kisho Arima's steps were not fast, but very steady. The span of this open space was about 200 meters, not too long, but not short either.
In less than three minutes, Arima Kisho crossed the open space without any danger.
"Hoo~."
A low roar came out, and the bodies of the three people froze. It turned out to be an eyeless ghoul sleeping on the ground, and was awakened by his companion.
The eyeless ghoul roughly pushed He Zi away and continued to sleep.
Yuna has already traveled to the center, and there are four or five eyeless ghouls at her feet. She moves extremely carefully.
Su Xiao, who was at the back, put her ears close to the ground and sensed the sounds on the ground.
It's safe. Those eyeless ghouls who were lured away by the source of the sound have not returned yet.
Su Xiao began to move forward slowly, taking every step with extreme caution.
ps: (Updated in advance today. I am deeply aware that breaking chapters is wrong, but the number of words is there. Next time I encounter this situation, I will just send a two-in-one chapter. So, don’t vote for me.
