Midnight Mansion (5)
"Ahhh——–"
Ren Xue's high pitched scream rang through the entire mansion.
Under the gaze of the others, she suddenly fell to the ground and was too scared to get up again. On all fours, she pathetically crawled forward..
As she crawled forward, the others finally saw the pair of footprints right behind where she had stood earlier.
The left foot was missing half of it and blood was bleeding out. It was just as described by Taehyung.
"Ghost! Ghost—–!"
Ren Xue trembled on the ground and started to sob heart-wrenchingly.
Wang Jianming quickly ran over and stood in front of her to protect her. At the same time his face was pale, and his teeth were chattering non-stop.
Taehyung and Lu Wenjing were also terrified.
Lu Wenjing raised her blood-stained crowbar and waved it around desperately while screaming loudly: Don't come over! Don't come over!"
The footprints remained in place as beads of blood fell from the air onto the ground forming a pool around it while exuding the rich stench of blood.
Everyone stared at it warily and didn't dare to approach it. The footsteps then started moving. With a "splat", it took a step forward.
When Taehyung saw that the footprints were pointed towards him, his entire body stiffened but he quickly reacted and ran away
Taehyung didn't know whether this ghost was the boss of this instance and he didn't dare gamble on it.
If he was wrong, he would definitely be killed off immediately by the ghost! Also, for it to appear so early, it probably isn't the boss……then...
Taehyung (Tae)
What are you standing around for? Run!
Taehyung yelled and returned Lu Wenjing and the others back to their senses
They all scattered and ran but Taehyung wanted to cry.
Turns out, the ghost ended up coming for him. It continued to chase him around while spurting blood out everywhere leaving scattered stains on the floor.
Despite the strange, awkward movements, you could tell that it was getting closer and closer.
Taehyung (Tae)
💭 Why am I so unlucky?!
Tae desperately ran around the large marble table, then around the sofa. Huffing and puffing, he and the footprints circled around the living room a few times.
Ren Xue and the others were dumbfounded by this and couldn't help but slow down their steps. Gradually they all stopped and stood in place watching him run.
But who would have thought that the ghost seemed to be extremely biased towards Taehyung?
It didn't pay any attention to the others and persisted with chasing after him.
Taehyung almost wanted to cry. He could no longer run anymore, and the system continuously reminded him of his physical strength that was about to be completely drained
System K29
[Remaining physical strength: 3………..2……]
If it reaches 0 then Tae would no longer be able to take another step!
Taehyung (Tae)
💭 Why on earth is this ghost always chasing me? ——— Is it because of the key in my possession?
Taehyung's mind quickly worked and just when he was considering whether he should throw the key over to someone else and let them all take turns running to tire the ghost out, he didn't notice the broken floorboard. With a "crack" one of his foot sank in.
Taehyung (Tae)
💭 Fuck. Why did something like this happen?!
Taehyung was stunned. Just as he thought he was about to crash heavily onto the ground, a pair of strong arms suddenly reached over and held him firmly in its embrace.
With his head pressed against the other person's strong chest, he could faintly smell something nice.
As soon as he looked up, Tae was faced with Jungkook's handsome face. The other person also happened to look down at the same time and revealed to him a gorgeous smile to seemingly appease him.
Taehyung was briefly stunned but, after hearing the sound of blood droplets falling to the ground slowly get louder and louder, he realised that the footsteps were less than an inch away from him!
Tae instantly got anxious. Jungkook had come over to save him and he didn't want to get Jungkook involved.
No longer caring about anything else, he pulled out the key with the intention to throw it and use it to attract the ghost's attention
Jungkook grabbed his hand gently
Jungkook
Don't worry, it's okay
After Jungkook said this, he looked up and glanced sternly in the direction of the footsteps.
Those pitch-black eyes of his were both dark and deep, as if it was an abyss that could swallow up everything.
From it, an extremely dangerous aura could be felt.
Like someone had suddenly stepped down onto the brakes, the footprints suddenly stopped, and blood sprayed out around it.
The half-missing foot didn't touch the ground and just hung in the air. Just beneath it is a pool of blood that just happened to form the shape of the sole of a foot.
The corners of Jungkook's lips rose, and he gave the ghost a smile. With faint shadows casted over his face, those eyes of his looked extremely cold.
The next moment, Taehyung suddenly saw the footprints turn 180 degrees and speed off. If it wasn't running in the direction of Wang Jianming and the others, he would have thought that it was running for its life.
"Ahhhh————"
Seeing the footprints rush towards them, Wang Jianming and Ren Xue screamed in fear and began running around the room the same way Taehyung had just moments ago.
Taehyung turned to look over at Jungkook in surprise
Taehyung (Tae)
How did you stop it from chasing me?
Jungkook fell silent for a few seconds and then said
Jungkook
I used some holy water on myself, so it probably scared it off. I wasn't sure that it would work but it looks like it did.
"Since you have something that could be used to deal with the ghost, why didn't you bring it out earlier?!!"
Wang Jianming yelled with a very pale face.
He rolled across the ground to narrowly escape the footprints behind him and briefly felt the ghost's fingers brush against him
Jungkook
There are lots of things in the bag, so it took me a while to find
Jungkook
Do you want me to take it out?
"No shit! Did you just want to watch me die—–Ah!"
Wang Jianming suddenly felt something sharp scratch across his back.
Three thin slashes appeared on his back causing him to fall to the ground screaming. Something invisible then grabbed him by his neck and a purple handprint appeared on his skin.
"Jianming!"
Ren Xue's anger towards Wang Jianming instantly vanished and she cried out in horror.
Lu Wenjing was also terrified. She trembled against the wall with a shockingly pale face.
Taehyung (Tae)
Jungkook, do you still have any holy water left?
Taehyung was also very anxious. If they couldn't get rid of this ghost, not only Wang Jianming, every one of them would die here!
Jungkook nodded and then proceeded to make an expression as if he was looking for something
Every one of them had their own system backpack and their backpacks had a certain number of compartments that they can use to store items in.
He didn't know how many compartments Jungkook had but after going through them for a long time to the point that Wang Jianming was about to show the whites of his eyes, he finally pulled out a bottle. He then proceeded to slowly walk over to Wang Jianming's location.
The moment he saw the bottle, Taehyung couldn't help but be surprised
His line of sight followed Jungkook's hand as he walked over
Taehyung (Tae)
💭 No matter how I looked at it, that bottle storing the holy water seems to look like —— a mineral water bottle?
Taehyung rubbed his eyes and took another closer look. Seeing that he didn't see wrong, he was stunned.
Taehyung (Tae)
💭 A mineral water bottle?? Jungkook is using something like this to store the holy water??
