The World Below Surface

Chapter 89

Views:

Lu Yanli didn't know that a new strange mission had appeared, and it showed its malice towards him without any concealment. At this moment, he was already worried about the targeting he was facing.

The station was deserted, with only the damp and cold smell of the night. The cold winter wind blew without restraint, making all the furnishings in the station rustle.

He once again became aware of the following gaze.

Who is it

Who is watching me

A chill came from behind, colder than the winter wind, and soon, his whole body was surrounded by the chill.

That gaze still followed him closely like a thorn in his side.

What is it

What exactly is it

He did not look back, but quickened his pace, hoping to leave the station as soon as possible. At this time, the station, which was not too big, seemed to have no end.

He looked toward the door.

A red figure suddenly appeared there, its face was so rotten that its facial features could not be seen at all. Lu Yanli could sense that it was staring at him.

No, there are also behind me, not just this one.

what to do

Ever since the world began to change, and he watched all his relatives die and resurrect in strange ways, he never felt any fear again. Even if he encountered a situation that would scare an ordinary person to death, he was not afraid, but calmly thought of a solution.

He did not stop and continued walking towards the door.

In the past, he could get away with it by just turning a blind eye to the ghosts. But now...

Can everything really go smoothly

The moment the blood-red figure appeared, Lu Yanli found that he could move. He walked slowly towards the door, but at this moment, he actually slowed down his pace.

The blood-red figure was still staring at him, with turbid mucus flowing from its rotten, hollow eye sockets, making it look like a rotten corpse that had been dug out not long ago.

Gradually, Lu Yanli got closer to it.

He could feel the coolness coming from the other person's body, mixed with the dampness of the earth and the stench of a rotting corpse.

Finally, he walked up to the body.

It still stared at him, motionless.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Lu Yanli walked to its side, but the latter remained motionless.

If it's not here to attack me, then why is it standing here

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Yanli always felt that the other person was somewhat familiar.

Does he know the original owner of this body

But its face had long been rotten, revealing hideous blue veins, and its appearance was completely unrecognizable. Its body was also rotten and swollen. In order not to attract attention, Lu Yanli could not look at the other party for too long, so he had no idea what the other party was.

Just as they passed each other, the corpse suddenly turned in the other direction.

Then, it jumped forward, stretched out its hands, and placed them squarely on Lu Yanli's shoulders.

Suddenly, the extremely cold air completely stuck to his back, and his nostrils were filled with a foul smell.

Lu Yanli wanted to shake it off, but its hands were tightly wrapped around him, and he couldn't break free at all. It didn't even have the intention to attack, and let Lu Yanli drag it forward a few steps by inertia, leaving a shallow bloodstain on the ground.

Who is it and why is it following me

Inside the station, the lights went out one by one, and something invisible was approaching him. Unlike the thing on his back that was not aware of the danger of death at the moment, Lu Yanli's intuition told him that if he let that thing get close, he would definitely die!

He decided to go all out and was unable to get rid of the rotten corpse for a while. He ran away quickly with the corpse on his back.

Just as he rushed down the stairs, the last light in the station hall went out, and the entire hall was plunged into darkness.

Lu Yanli ran desperately with the rotten corpse on his back. Behind him, the street lights went out quickly.

That thing... that thing is chasing us!

The cold wind blew even harder. There was no one on the empty road. The shops on both sides were all closed. The city where he was getting off was a bustling metropolis. No matter what, there would always be some people there. Not to mention a place like a train station with a large flow of people.

Now, there was no one around, only Lu Yanli kept running. The rotten corpse lay quietly on his back, without any movement, and the rotten smell coming from behind became stronger and stronger. The skinny arms on his chest were extremely stiff and difficult to break free.

Who is it

The corpse on his back was getting heavier and heavier, but the limbs were not stiff, but gradually softened, as if they were slowly swollen by the soaking. Lu Yanli made up his mind, and when he crossed an intersection, he suddenly grabbed the hand of the corpse on his back, shook it off with force, and then threw it heavily to his side...

Everything happened in just a few seconds, and the body was finally thrown out and rolled to the ground.

What made Lu Yanli feel relieved was that he actually took off that thing.

Surprisingly... no mutation occurred

Just as he thought of this, he accidentally looked back and immediately quickened his pace. It turned out that the rotten corpse he had thrown out was lying on the ground, slowly raising its head, with its limbs twisted unconsciously, and it was about to turn into a corpse...

It was because it raised its head that Lu Yanli saw a mark on the rotten corpse. Before he had time to think about it, he turned around and ran wildly because of the rapidly approaching and extinguished street light.

The corpse also had a mark on his chest that was exactly the same as his. So, the corpse was actually him, right

Lin Chu mingled among the group of people, listening to their discussion, but he didn't say much, pretending to be a newcomer who knew nothing.

She still has a chance to quit now,

Why did the mission suddenly require hunting down a person? In the past, there were some strange but understandable mission categories, and putting this hunting down mission in it seemed particularly out of place. Was it because of what Lu Yanli did

What had he done to threaten the existence behind the mission, so much so that so many people were willing to hunt him down? If he failed this time, what about next time

Lin Chu searched for a long time.

She saw many famous taskers in the crowd, including many senior members who had completed more than a dozen tasks, but there were only a few newcomers. This made her even more uneasy.

After exchanging messages, the others also realized that something was wrong. A mission is a mission. If you don’t complete it after receiving it, you will die.

Even though Lu Yanli might be the key to breaking the impasse in the future, they would not sacrifice their present for this possible future.

With so many people chasing him together, will Lu Yanli die

Not everyone knew Lu Yanli. Some of them had met him on missions and lost their memories after being hypnotized, so they only felt familiar with him. Some had never seen him before. A total of 35 people discussed in detail how to kill an NPC for nearly four hours before they adjourned.

There is still half a month before this mission starts.

What they didn’t know was that after Lu Yanli received the flyer, he was notified to enter the town again in a month.

The extra half month is time for the taskers to adapt and prepare in advance.

Otherwise, even if they have a large number, they may not be able to survive.

After the meeting, Lin Chu found Chu Xiu again, his face more serious than ever before.

"I think we need to have a good talk, maybe we can cooperate."

Chu Xiu, who had finally heard her say this, breathed a sigh of relief and spoke impatiently, "Of course, I'm happy to."

Then, Lin Chu told them about the mission and the matters they had discussed, observing Chu Xiu's facial expression as he spoke.

Since he also knows Lu Yanli, what will be his attitude

"Two tasks? Find a person, and kill Lu Yanli." Chu Xiu frowned.

"Yes, I am only attending their meeting now and have not really entered yet. According to them, this is what they said." Lin Chu asked, "Have there been similar incidents in the past? Do I have to complete both tasks, or do I only need to complete one before I can return?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "It almost never happened before. What's more..."

What's more, it's a murder mission like this.

"Do you think we should kill him?" Lin Chu looked directly into the other person's eyes.

Chu Xiu looked back unnaturally and shook his head again: "No, he can't die now."

"I think he won't die," he added.

Lin Chu said: "Not necessarily. It's possible that this group of people took action alone. Since the mission is so directly aimed at them, maybe this time, they will find ways to help them in the mission."

Lin Chu didn't say who it was, but Chu Xiu knew it very well.

They all believed that there was something behind the mission that was manipulating it.

"So, Lu Yanli cannot die." Lin Chu concluded.

Night falls.

Yu Huaiyao rubbed his sore neck and was about to continue working at his desk when suddenly his heart skipped a beat and an extremely uncomfortable feeling surged into his heart. At the same time, an image emerged in his mind.

A voice told him that he had to complete a task. If he succeeded, he could continue to live, but if he failed, he would die. If he did not complete the task, he would also die!

The uncomfortable feeling came over him so violently that he instantly collapsed on the table. Just as he was struggling to take out his cell phone to call the emergency number, the palpitation suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It was as if everything was just his illusion.

No, it's not an illusion.

Yu Huaiyao glanced at his watch.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his sanity, so it could only be...

"Brother, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

Yu Huan's words echoed in his ears again.

After falling asleep, his dead cousin became real and peeled off his skin over and over again in his dream, and then tore it into pieces bit by bit. This made Yu Huaiyao believe it.

Another city -

Yi Zhenzhen, who lost her mother, was sitting in the living room doing her homework. Not far in front of her was her mother's smiling face.

As she was writing, she suddenly felt a headache, and the nausea and palpitations that came over her almost overwhelmed her.

"… Mission? W-What mission?"

After finally catching her breath, Yi Zhen looked around blankly, but the house was still quiet and there was nothing unusual.

That night, she also had a nightmare.

The same incident also happened to the relatives of the taskers who died in the past, and the number of tasks carried out this time was further expanded.

Half a month later, the members who had held several meetings came to the designated location of the mission as required - an abandoned amusement park. Surprisingly, the number of people increased.

Count them, there are as many as fifty-three people.

Lin Chu was feeling frightened, and suddenly his eyes became stern—why was Yu Huaiyao here too

Yu Huaiyao also saw Lin Chu and immediately followed her, hoping to get more information from her.

Soon, it was midnight.
