Chapter 95: Not Behaving Well
The hands passed over his shoulders and clasped lightly in front of his chest.
For a moment, Lin Han thought it was an illusion.
The exclusive perspective reminded him again and again that he saw it, just like he saw the monster at the end of the corridor in front of him, hiding its body but sitting there boldly, almost provoking him.
In Lin Han's eyes, they had no substance, only empty outlines.
But they do exist.
Lin Han had long known that in the choice between left and right, there was a monster hidden on the wrong side. He paid attention to that monster and felt a secret joy in his heart because he had discovered it.
Only he saw it, no one else could see it.
Thanks to the rewards that belong only to him, he has his strengths and is not incapable of doing anything.
He was so focused on the present that he ignored more important information.
The names of New World dungeons are generally related to the dungeons themselves, either by place names or relationships, and this one is no different.
【behind】
They focused their attention on the dangers they might encounter on the way forward, completely ignoring the fact that the word "behind" itself pointed in a completely opposite direction.
Lin Han couldn't remember when he started to feel tired, but he almost without hesitation concluded that his fatigue came from mental stress.
It was not until this moment that he realized that he was carrying a person on his back... perhaps not a person at all, but just a monster in human form. This fatigue, which was sometimes ignored, suddenly came over him like an overwhelming force, causing his back to bend a little.
He seemed to be carrying someone on his back, so heavy that he even found it difficult to breathe.
The corridor was dead silent.
The lights suddenly dimmed at some point, and everyone's face was shrouded in a vague gray, as if covered with a very thin layer of gray paint.
Lin Han lowered his head.
He could see his right hand, which was at a loss as to where to put it. The back of his hand was covered with a light layer of gray, a rather ominous color.
The owner of the voice blew air beside him and spoke to him in a very low voice, almost in an affirmative tone: "You saw me."
Lin Han shuddered.
The ball in his left hand fell uncontrollably. In his daze, he didn't have time to reach out to catch it. The ball bounced several times on the ground, first hitting the wall on the left, and finally stopped in the corner.
Lin Han remained silent. Wen Cheng and the others had no idea what had happened, nor did they understand what Lin Han had seen that had frightened him so much that he couldn't even hold a ball.
Precisely because they saw nothing, they knew nothing and could only look in vain at the end of the corridor.
Until… they heard the ball rolling.
All I could see was an empty corridor, no ball.
The only ball is in Lin Han's hand...
The four people standing beside Lin Han realized something almost at the same time. They stiffened their bodies and slowly turned their heads. The rolling sound was like the drumbeats in their hearts, and the horror in their hearts made their scalps tingle.
The ball in the corner rolled automatically without any wind, and its speed became faster and faster, and finally hit the heel of Lin Han's shoe who was closest to it.
The force of the impact caused it to bounce outwards, but after being bounced away, it stopped for a while and then rolled again, until finally it stuck to Lin Han's shoes and stopped moving.
They gasped and immediately distanced themselves from Lin Han.
Everyone knows the mechanism of the ball. It will actively approach danger.
And at this moment, Lin Han is in danger of being chosen.
Lin Han sighed softly and tilted his head to look at the ball that hit his heel. Because of this action, he saw the legs that did not belong to him standing behind him and sticking close to him.
The monster climbing on Lin Han's back was much taller than him, so it was just standing there, not hanging like a monkey like the monsters on Ye Ting and the other four people.
It just wrapped its arms around Lin Han's neck and followed him step by step with such an awkward yet intimate movement.
The ball lay motionless in its empty outline.
The ball has found the nearest danger and it has been satisfied.
Yes, the ball has a range of use.
The closest danger to it was the monster clinging to Lin Han. Naturally, it would not cross the entire corridor to approach the monster that was farther away.
Besides, it is not certain which one is more dangerous.
Just based on his own guess and his usual luck, Lin Han felt that he might have an advantage if he carried this on his back.
After the initial shock, there was a deep feeling of powerlessness. Ultimately, it was because Lin Han did not actually see it. The fear was almost worn away by the exclusive perspective that was almost nagging.
There were more than twenty hours left in the countdown. For the first time, Lin Han felt that time was passing too slowly, and he couldn't even see the end of the copy at a glance.
Ye Ting and the other three were looking at him warily, and when they met Lin Han's gaze, they subconsciously took a step back.
Lin Han: “…”
At this point, any amount of explanation is useless, and they may not even listen. The best way is to let them see it with their own eyes and use the mechanism that everyone in the copy has recognized.
ball.
Lin Han bent down to pick up the ball. He could feel a faint resistance from the ball, as if it was reluctant to be picked up because it was in danger of being so close to it.
Although this force existed, it was very small. Under normal circumstances, Lin Han might not notice it, but at this moment...
He rolled the ball towards Ye Ting and the others: "Wait for the ball to stop."
After being thrown out by Lin Han, the ball rolled slowly, and the corridor was filled with the familiar rolling sound. The ball hit Ye Ting's feet, bounced off, rolled for a while, and stopped not far from them.
What is this to look at?
Ye Ting and the others didn't understand until the motionless ball started rolling again. This time, it rolled towards Dai Zisheng, who was closest to it.
Facing the other four people who were confused but terrified, Lin Han explained in the calmest possible tone: "There is an invisible monster behind us."
"Everyone."
When he finished speaking, the ball was already sticking to the edge of Dai Zisheng's shoe. It hit again and bounced towards Jiang Lili who was closer to it.
Jiang Lili gritted her teeth and didn't move, and finally watched the ball land at her feet.
At this moment, only she and Dai Zisheng were alerted by the ball, but Lin Han said that everyone had it, so the ball stopped here just because they were closer to it.
The lights seemed to be dimmer, just like their mood at the moment.
Perhaps to confirm, Ye Ting took out two more balls, placed one closer to herself, and placed the other next to Wen Cheng. The two balls rolled slowly almost at the same time and hit their feet respectively.
"The back, this is what we need to pay attention to."
But Lin Han had no way to deal with it.
Maybe there are other props in the mall that can solve the problem, but he even learned about the ball from Ye Ting and the others, and he has no idea about anything else.
He didn't know whether the experience card he had in his hand could be effective against the danger he was facing at the moment. For a moment, Lin Han seemed to have no means to check and balance the monster behind him.
"Anyway, let's go to the other side first. This road is wrong." Lin Han took two steps. No matter what dangers were behind him, the road on the other side was the right one.
This time, Ye Ting and the others did not dodge.
Facts are the best explanation. They know that Lin Han did not lie, but the reality still leaves them speechless.
But when everyone was silent, the three balls at their feet suddenly became restless again. They swayed gently, and it was unknown what affected them. At the moment when everyone looked over, they started rolling again.
This time, they had the same goal, heading towards Lin Han.
The three balls hit Lin Han's feet and bounced away. The scene looked a bit funny, but no one could laugh.
The ball will actively approach danger, but when there is more than one danger within its effective range, it will choose... the more dangerous one.
Previously, there was enough distance between Lin Han and Ye Ting, but the few steps Lin Han took brought him back into the effective range of the ball.
Lin Han laughed bitterly.
He knew it, he should have known it earlier.
The special existence he had been looking for had actually been by his side for a long time.
More dangerous than anything in anyone else, and it had chosen him so precisely when he was least aware of it.
It's just that he hadn't noticed the other person before.
Behind them, the neglected monster in the wrong corridor seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore and let out a low cry.
The child's voice seemed particularly weak at this moment, and it wrapped around everyone's ears layer by layer like a spider web.
“Woo…”
When Lin Han turned around, he saw that the owner of the voice had not stopped where he was. He had moved forward a lot and was still moving forward quietly.
The extremely long and thin limbs carried up the twisted lower body, and the narrow lower limbs were like hands, with the fingertips pressed on the ground one after another, moving forward strangely, silently, but at an astonishing speed.
They couldn't see its shape or hear the sound of its advance, and the danger in the corridor took advantage of their distraction to approach.
Lin Han yelled, "Run!"
Without even caring about the ball on the ground, Lin Han ran to the other side. The others didn't care about being alert and followed him to run for their lives.
The moment he turned around, the movement behind him was no longer hidden. The sound of wooden boards breaking exploded in everyone's ears and approached them at a rapid speed.
"Sizzle".
The sound of nails scraping against the floor mixed with the sound of shattering, accompanied by howls of pain, so piercing that it made their ears ring.
Lin Han didn't dare look back until he ran to the other end of the corridor.
There were five scratch marks on the ground where they had stood, and the worn wooden floor was broken into pieces.
“Play…play…wuwu…”
The faint cry echoed again in the dead silence. The monster marked by the exclusive perspective was squeezed at the junction of their corridor and the corridor to the left. Lin Han saw the outline of its arm trembling.
It couldn't leave the wrong corridor, but its power was transmitted, and it paid a price for it.
One of the three balls left there broke, and the other two balls started rolling again, performing their duties diligently, rolling to the junction of the corridors and no longer moving.
Lin Han: “…”
That monster was more dangerous than he had imagined, and even throwing a ball into the wrong corridor could lead to disaster.
Without getting close they wouldn't know which one was wrong.
But they had to keep going down, they had no choice.
Fortunately he can see.
That's okay, as long as he runs fast enough.
Lin Han had just felt relieved for a moment when the hands on his chest, which he had temporarily forgotten, made new movements.
They moved slowly upwards and covered Lin Han's eyes before he could react.
The world became darker, but Lin Han could still see, except for the outline of the monster in the distance.
"Cheating is not good."
