"What should we do?"

Miao Yingying looked at the receding figures of Cao Liuyu and Liu Dacheng, almost crying in desperation.

"The face in the quilt?"

Chu He kept muttering, "And... omnipresent danger? Liu Xin... bring the binoculars."

"Chu He, even though you're in charge, I'm not going to be sent to my death..."

Liu Xin suddenly shuddered. "Some of these tricks can kill along the line of sight!"

"Then let's go to the mountain top together."

Chu He said, "No matter how difficult the job is, it can't possibly kill all of us at the start; we need to take a gamble on our luck..."

Burial Mountain Cemetery was a small hill.

Their location was right opposite grave number 27, completely obscured by the hill.

But from the top of the hill, looking down, they could still make out some details.

"I agree!"

Zhong Shenxiu nodded her head and followed Chu He to the mountain top.

Murong Hong, Zong Sheng, Han Bingjie, and others hurriedly followed suit.

Soon, only chaos was left behind, along with the three people from Sinan City.

The lawyer sighed. "I think we better follow them."

"Follow them, to be cannon fodder?"

Shi Minglou sneered, "Even if the tricks really exist, those so-called staff are in on it too, only sending us to die! Nuannuan, let's go!"

He grabbed his girlfriend's hand. "I'll help you survive!"

"Sigh..."

Sinan City didn't say much and quickly followed the main group.

Zhong Shenxiu and Chu He climbed to the mountain top, where they could now see two figures moving among the steles, reaching the tomb.

"We're almost there..."

Murong Hong murmured nervously.

The next moment, they saw a Cao Liuyu the size of a finger pounce towards grave number 27.

Immediately, his entire body was obscured by the shadow of the tombstone, and he disappeared without a trace.

"Ah!"

A scream sounded.

It was Liu Dacheng!

He seemed frightened and turned to run.

As he ran, he screamed out, "Cao... Cao..."

Immediately after, everyone witnessed a hair-raising scene.

The running Liu Dacheng seemed to fall into a sewer, 'falling' directly downward through the road surface...

"What's happening?"

Chu He immediately looked at Liu Xin, the woman responsible for preparing outdoor tools, who was holding a pair of binoculars.

She put down the binoculars, her face pale. "I saw it... it's the shadows! A hand reached out from Liu Dacheng's shadow and dragged him into its own shadow..."

Han Bingjie immediately felt his scalp tingle.

He looked at his own shadow, which he couldn't get rid of no matter what, feeling a chill.

"Is the trick hiding in the shadows? No... or rather, using the shadow as a medium for killing! Omnipresent danger, that's what it means..."

Chu He nodded, looking at the enormous sun in the sky, suddenly finding it so glaring. "So... the key to survival is to keep away from or eliminate shadows?"

At this, Miao Yingying rushed towards a large tomb.

Although there were no buildings on the mountain, there were cypress trees, and the two giant cypress trees next to the large tomb could completely cover a person's shadow.

"Should we hurry then?"

A cold smile appeared on Zong Sheng's face.

Miao Yingying, that woman who had always been so arrogant because of her connection to Cao Liuyu, hadn't expected that with Cao Liuyu's death, she couldn't protect herself at all.

Even if she claimed a spot in the shade, what was it worth? Who could she outcompete?

"Don't worry," Chu He said, "after the ghost kills someone, there's usually a gap in time… It's a pattern, and it's the company's protection… Before, Cao Liuyu and Liu Dacheng must have triggered some killing condition of the ghost, so we still have time…"

"I need to think, but it's a pity I lack a few key pieces of the puzzle. It'd be great if we could check out grave number 27…"

As he said this, he turned to look at Zhong Shenxiu.

Zhong Shenxiu frowned and coughed, "I think we shouldn't rely too much on habits and patterns…"

Although he had only practiced the Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill, this technique was solely for cultivating the True Spirit and did not grant any Divine Power.

However, after strengthening the True Spirit, a hint of death's intuition, or rather, a sense of impending danger still lingered.

At this moment, he felt as if a needle had gently pricked his temple.

This signaled danger!

Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Sinan City suddenly felt a tight squeeze on his leg.

He looked down and saw…

A large bluish-black hand creeping out from his own shadow and grabbing his pant leg.

"Ah!"

This highly decisive and rational lawyer was so scared that he wet himself.

"Help me!"

He screamed, only to see that the veterans had dispersed!

What a joke!

Everyone was an ordinary human, fighting head-on with the ghost was a sure way to die.

"How could this be?"

Chu He ran, glancing at Sinan City's shadow, which seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit. Its sharp edges were ruthlessly slicing and swallowing his half-body, distorting his expression terribly.

"Something's wrong!"

"The ghost killing has a pattern, it doesn't start immediately after one slaughter…"

"Unless… this ghost is the unsolvable type! No pattern, no escape, only terror and despair, just like those times recorded when everyone was annihilated…"

He took a deep breath, "Everyone, split up and run, survive and immediately escape the cemetery!"

…

Under the shade, Miao Yingying held her chest, feeling somewhat proud, "In work, being a step ahead of others is a huge opportunity…"

Then, she saw Sinan City's death, and she nearly collapsed in shock.

And seeing Zong Sheng rushing towards her to seize the shade, she screamed even louder, "Don't come here, find others…"

Zong Sheng ignored her, moved to the edge of the shade, and was about to push Miao Yingying aside.

At that moment, he suddenly seemed startled, his pupils contracted, and he turned and ran.

Miao Yingying was puzzled when she suddenly felt two hands on her ankles, and a strong sense of weightlessness came over her.

The shade was a shadow too!

A thought flashed through her mind, and she plunged into darkness…

…

"Brother Gui, Brother Gui, wait for me!"

Zhong Shenxiu had run a distance when he turned a corner.

Then, seeing Han Bingjie follow him, he smiled, "Why are you following me instead of fighting for the shade?"

"Wherever you go, I go!" Han Bingjie declared firmly, "Brother Gui, I've decided to stick with you. From now on at work, I'll follow your every command, even if you use me to scout ahead, it doesn't matter, just keep me by your side!"

"Ah, commendable courage, then come with me."

Zhong Shenxiu, watching his companions scrambling around like headless chickens, smiled slightly and headed towards grave number 27.

"Brother Gui..."

Han Bingjie's teeth chattered, "Cl-cl-click… Where are you going?"

"This cemetery isn't big, if we can't escape, we can only face it."

Zhong Shenxiu answered matter-of-factly.
