Chapter 523: Apology
This was an amalgamated creature!
“Hmm?” Cao Yang asked between breaths when they reached the seventh floor. “The footsteps have ceased. Did it stop?”
“That’s right.” Director Qi turned around with a pale face. “Also, where is Mr Jiang? Has he been caught?”
“You’ll be caught before he does!” Kui Yi glared at Director Qi, shutting him down. He believed Jiang Cheng must have discovered something. Soon, Jiang Cheng came down the stairs. With a look, Kui Yi noticed the latter looked better than before. Even his frown had relaxed.
“Where is the ghost?” Director Qi hurried to ask.
Jiang Cheng answered, “It chased after us for a while and then retreated to its room.”
Kui Yi quickly reacted. “I was right about that room being a safe house, or else the ghost would have come after Director Qi. It is guarding the place to stop us from returning there! It is buying time!” Kui Yi continued to analyse. “I believe the safe house has a time limit. If we fail to enter it before the time is up, the safe house will lose its effect, and the ghost will become invincible!”
“But, how are we supposed to return when the ghost is guarding it?” Director Qi pleaded.
“Someone is already inside the room,” Jiang Cheng explained, “So you don’t need to worry about that.”
