Chapter 6

Jiang Cheng was stunned by the question. He had only said it casually, but now, explaining the problem to Lin Muwan had become the problem.

If he told the truth, that there was a ghost hidden in his shadow... No, not hidden in his shadow, to be exact, Wu had replaced his shadow.

But no matter what, he was different from her and her brother, and he worried that Lin Muwan would misunderstand, but he didn't want to make up a reason to deceive her.

"This matter is a bit complicated," Jiang Cheng said hesitantly. "I'll explain it to you slowly when I have time."

Lin Muwan followed him, writing in her notebook, "Okay."

"We'll go down the stairs, and if we find any problems, we'll take another route," Jiang Cheng said. "It's another matter whether we can find your brother if we specifically look for him now, and it's also dangerous, can you understand?"

"Yes," a word appeared in the notebook.

Before he finished speaking, they heard a burst of footsteps coming from above. The footsteps were very light and had a probing quality. What was even more intriguing was that as soon as Jiang Cheng noticed the strange footsteps, they disappeared immediately.

It was as if someone was also walking down the stairs in the same way, but also heard their footsteps, so they stopped immediately.

Lin Muwan's eyes froze, and she picked up the notebook and quickly wrote: "Could it be my brother?"

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly. The next second, he grabbed Lin Muwan's hand and ran down the stairs quickly, without deliberately suppressing his footsteps, so that the person hiding upstairs must have heard it clearly.

But after only a few steps, Lin Muwan's face, which was still slightly puzzled, turned pale. She clearly heard that as soon as they started running, the person above them also immediately ran down after them, and the speed was no slower than theirs.

Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that she had heard this person's footsteps before. It was the kind that sounded very strange. Not long ago, this guy came down from the elevator and chased after her and Jiang Cheng.

But at this moment, a doubt arose in Lin Muwan's mind, which even overwhelmed the fear in her heart to some extent. On the way of escape, she looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion.

Jiang Cheng only glanced at her and knew what the girl was thinking, and immediately said, "I just had a feeling, so I wanted to test it out, and the result..."

Jiang Cheng didn't say the rest, and there was no need to say it. It seemed that the guy chasing after them was the same thing they had encountered before, Yuan Xiaotian, whose head was split in two.

Through the thin mist in front of him, he saw a metal sign hanging at the corner of the stairwell with the number 6 on it.

It was already the 6th floor, and it was the 7th floor just now. He remembered it very clearly. Fortunately, the thing he was most worried about didn't happen. Every time he came to a relatively closed space like a stairwell, he would think of the time in the Peaceful Apartments mission.

He, Fatty, and Jiao Tailang were trapped in the burning passage. If Fatty hadn't had a good heart and moved the ghost, all three of them would have died there.

And he remembered that the passage there was endless. No matter how you went down, it was always those few floors, like an endless staircase.

Ghost wall.

Fortunately, it didn't happen this time.

Lin Muwan grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm, signaling him to slow down, not entirely because she couldn't hold on, but because the footsteps chasing behind them... had disappeared.

They had been running just now, and the sounds in the corridor were very chaotic, so they didn't notice.

Jiang Cheng stopped. His experience in several missions had taught him that the thing more frightening than a ghost suddenly appearing was a ghost suddenly disappearing.

Where did the thing chasing them go?

Jiang Cheng didn't think that the other party would be kind enough to let them go, or give up because they couldn't catch up. There must be other schemes involved.

As for what it was, he couldn't judge yet.

"Move," Jiang Cheng gently pulled Lin Muwan and whispered, "Don't stand in one position for too long."

They were running to a corner. Whether they hadn't noticed it before or it wasn't there at all, they found a window by the wall at the corner.

And more importantly, the window was open, and they could even feel the wind blowing in constantly.

The wind was cold, but at the same time it was very real, almost making Jiang Cheng and Lin Muwan subconsciously believe that this window was the way out of the mission.

Jump down, and you can leave this haunted building, thus completely ending the mission.

Lin Muwan was also a little hesitant. She looked at Jiang Cheng, and after a moment, she couldn't help but write a line in her notebook, "Mr. Jiang, what should we do?"

The next second, Jiang Cheng felt a burning sensation coming from his pocket.
