Chapter 1543: Chapter 1541 Death Pursuit

“So fast! Far beyond the speed of the previous chase!

Once the “Box of Resentment” was obtained, did this guy’s attitude change from “chasing away” to “chasing to kill”?”

Relying on the dedicated dining lift, Shinshi and others descended directly to the first floor… Considering that the mysterious figure had just set foot on the top floor of the ancient mansion’s third level, they thought they’d put a safe distance between them.

A sense of terrifying gaze came from behind.

The mysterious figure, originally searching the ancient mansion at a normal speed,

as the three carried the box out of the mansion, signaled the final stage of the activity… The entire pace completely changed, and the mysterious figure was no longer strolling but fully committed to the chase.

In just a few seconds.

A large leather shoe had already stepped at the main door,

the entire area’s black mist grew more intense, even “activated,” forming black arms along the street, blocking their path.

“Keigo! Remove 50% of your restraints, and let the Forbidden Speech sit on you… Just focus on escaping. I will do my utmost to manipulate the whirlwind, increasing our moving speed while hindering this guy’s chase.”

“Got it, boss~”

Keigo tore his skin again, but this time, he put the fallen coins into his pocket, needing them for recovery once they escaped.

The sixteen arms spawned, one arm grabbed the Forbidden Speech, while the others were used for crawling, matching Shinshi’s full-speed flight in terms of speed.

“By the way! If we’re caught up, can I remove more of my restraints?”

“No matter what situation we’re in, exceeding 80% is not allowed… Beyond that, you’ll completely lose control, and we’ll all die in the game.”

“Understood, boss! According to the game’s rules, as long as anyone escapes the street with the box, it’s enough… If we really get caught up, boss, just keep running, I’ll hold him off.”

“Let’s try to escape together!”

The whirlwind controlled by Shinshi split into two streams.

The front part aided them with tailwind, while the back wind limited the mysterious figure’s pursuit, capable of tracking his position in real-time.

What was thought to be an effective escape means turned out to tighten Shinshi’s brows instead.

This whirlwind’s hindrance was useless against the mysterious figure; the stride of the leather shoes was faster than them… They would soon be caught.

Moreover, the street was crawling with black arms formed by the mist,

and various evil spirits floated out, attempting to block them,

even elite killer squads hiding in the dark, attempting to seize the “Box of Resentment” were present.

“Keigo, remove limits to 65%, annihilate any that dare to block our road!”

“Okay.”

The black scarf and iron nail covering the eye socket fell off.

The Eye of the Banned Demon was revealed.

Buzz!

A dead light with destructive traits, flickering black dots, shot out from the eye socket,

all evil spirits caught by the beam met death, black mist arms were all shattered,

many assassins ambushing in the dark seeing Keigo and the terrifying dead light attack decisively abandoned their plan to seize.

After all, they also obtained some treasures while exploring the haunted house, and as long as someone wins, they also pass the stage, receiving rewards based on their performance during the event.

Weighing the advantages and disadvantages, most abandoned the thought of ‘ambushing midway’.

At the same moment.

Due to Keigo’s restraint lifting to 65%, the scent he emitted was picked up by a diver who came alone to participate in the event… What once felt like a dull event seemed to become interesting.

…

Life-and-death escape wasn’t so simple.

Even though Keigo’s restraint lifting made the path ahead smooth, due to speed disparities, they would still be caught.

“I’ll stop you!”

Shinshi flipped his body, shifting into a “backward flight” mode, reducing speed but not significantly impacting.

Drip drop!

Dark red blood dripped onto the ground.

Shinshi even painfully plucked a few feathers, preparing to release a powerful sacrificial curse.

The plucked black feathers turned into sharp arrows when floating before him, with a current of Tengu’s curse power on their surface.

Whoosh!

Unfolding a folding fan, swinging it with all his might.

Instantly, a gale capable of uprooting lamp posts formed on the street, carrying black feathers, rushed towards the pursuing mysterious figure.

Tearing through public facilities and villa walls along the way, the gale and several black feathers seemed to form a wide-mouthed Tengu.

The gale dispersed the black mist.

“Let’s see how you handle this!”

Shinshi was greatly confident in this move, widened his eyes, waiting for the gale, feathers, and the counterpart to make contact.

Upon collision, the black mist obscuring the mysterious figure’s upper body was blown away.

Revealing a black leather jacket and a wooden-colored shirt, the collar matching a bald head wearing sunglasses.

Observing from behind would unveil a barcode printed on the back of the head, along with a complex mechanical interface.

Something unbelievable occurred.

The black feathers wielding Tengu’s power should have pierced through everything, yet when they hit the mysterious figure’s surface, they submerged and vanished.

Just like shot into a mass of slime, only a few large ripple outlines appeared before completely sinking in.

Such an attack merely made the mysterious figure pause for about two seconds.

“How can this be!”

Shinshi was stunned by the situation, filled with fear, completely abandoning the idea of resistance, focusing solely on escaping.

“However, these two seconds should be enough for us to reach the end of the street… As long as nothing unexpected happens, we should make it!”

Just as Shinshi uttered these words, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

Or rather, he should have noticed the anomaly seconds ago, yet due to the prior attack and unusual situation, he overlooked it, missing the optimal time to act.

The box hidden in his sleeve was evidently heavier, also bringing a peculiar sensation.

When Shinshi glanced at his sleeve, it had already bulged with a large, writhing mass.

When he hastily tried to extract the box, what emerged from the sleeve was a huge flesh cluster with an exaggerated eye.

“This is! Nicholas tampered with it!”

Shinshi immediately associated it with Han Dong’s zombie attribute.

The virus meatball residing within the box was fully activated, infinitely absorbing the resentment emanating from the box, undergoing indescribable rapid growth… Owing to resentment’s attention, the meatball also developed self-awareness.

Swish!

A sudden spike emerged, leaving Shinshi, who was too close to respond, with a cheek cut… The meatball took this opportunity to break free, leaping forward.

Splosh!

The meatball landed just right on the corpses scattered on the road, merging and multiplying!

Under the nurturing of the “Box of Resentment,” its volume unexpectedly blocked the entire street, transforming into a meatball monster harboring endless resentment… The box was hidden somewhere within the meatball.

“Oh no!”

This sudden turn and team pause prematurely concluded the chase.

The immense pressure left Shinshi breathless, leather shoes’ steps halted behind them…

‘Why! Why! With just a mere hundred meters left to exit the street, did such an incident occur?’

Now, their only route to survival was – “Abandon the box, hide in the nearby villa building, and wait for the mysterious figure to retrieve the box from the meatball.”

If this choice was made, everything would have to restart.

Just then.

A familiar bloody scent wafted from afar… faint barks could also be heard.
