At that moment, he was like a rabbit that had just escaped from its cage, turning into a blur and running at an extremely fast speed to the entrance of the passage to the next level.

"Huff huff huff... That thing shouldn't have followed us!"

Number One spoke while panting heavily.

However, when he turned to look at the stairwell, he was shocked to find that the figure in red had somehow appeared behind him, and the man he had been holding, who was now seemingly dead, had vanished.

"Hey, I just punched you once, but I didn't even hit you. Why don't you just keep holding that man?"

Looking at the red-clad figure who had abandoned the man she was holding in order to chase after him, Number One complained.

Moreover, the figure in red was blocking the middle of the staircase, so he had no way to break through the figure to the upper or lower floors.

The red-clad figure seemed not to hear Number One's complaint and floated straight toward Number One.

Seeing the red-clad figure getting closer and closer, Number One had only two choices.

One option is to use your current werewolf form to go up and fight that red-clad figure to the death!

Another option is to use his current werewolf form to outrun the red-clad figure with his incredible running speed.

Without much consideration, Number One decisively chose the second option... to escape.

This choice led to Gu Changqing and Bai Xue not encountering any danger in this mission world, while he was the only one who was chased by this red-clad figure from the very beginning and could not shake him off for several days.

If he hadn't found some bagged bread and a few bottles of mineral water in the room where he was hiding in the passageway, he probably would have died of thirst during the mission before the red-clad figure caught up with him.

At this moment, Number One had already deactivated his werewolf form. After eating only a few pieces of bread for so many days, he no longer had the strength to transform into a werewolf.

He did put up a fight during that time. Right after finishing his bread, when he suddenly felt his body inexplicably filled with power, he transformed into a werewolf and fought the red-clad figure again.

Of course, the great battle was only in his own mind; the so-called great battle was nothing more than him being brutally beaten by the red-clad figure.

After barely managing to hold on for half a day thanks to the tough skin of his werewolf form, the power that seemed to come from nowhere suddenly vanished from his body.

With no other option, Number One, without any reinforcements, could only continue his journey of escape and hiding.

The bagged bread that Number One ate was certainly not ordinary food. If Gu Changqing came here, he would recognize at a glance that the bagged bread was the emergency food developed by the Imperial Institute of Strange Things for the Strange Team.
