25.A Race Against Time

  "That… that's…" Ye also saw the white shadow, and instantly felt her legs go weak…

  Li immediately pulled her up and ran!

  Of course, even while running, he didn't take his eyes off the compass in his hand, otherwise, if he got lost, it would be too late to cry.

  After running for about five or six minutes, Li felt extremely exhausted, Ye was no better, and they both started to gasp for breath.

  "Li… Li…" Ye said, panting: "She… didn't follow us, right?"

  "I… I don't know…" Li was looking around, up and down, left and right, but it was just rows of trees and rocks, very quiet.

  "It seems like she didn't…"

  Their hearts were beating rapidly, and any relaxation could lead to their deaths.

  They both knew this very well.

  Just then, Li suddenly saw the white shadow appear behind Ye!

  "Y…Y , Ye… you, you have something behind you…"

  When Li said this, Ye was so scared that her heart almost stopped! She quickly turned back, but there was nothing.

  "What are you doing! Li, you're trying to scare me to death!"

  But the white shadow did appear behind Ye just now.

  This quiet forest, at this moment, had become a terrifying existence that was about to swallow them both.

  And they had to spend three hours like this?

  If they didn't reach the apartment, they would probably go crazy.

  But they had to move forward.

  Staying here would only be more dangerous!

  "Let's go! Ye!" Li gritted his teeth, and continued walking forward with Ye.

  We can't die!

  We absolutely can't die!

  Every step they took at this moment was like walking on thin ice.

  However, fortunately, there were no more unusual occurrences for most of the time that followed.

  The calm lasted for about two hours or more. They had already reached the outskirts of the mountain, and if all went well, they would soon reach the foot of the mountain.

  As long as they weren't in the apartment, nowhere in the world could be considered safe.

  So they still couldn't relax their tense nerves.

  "Ye…"

  "What is it? Li?"

  Li took a deep breath and said:

  "If we can go back alive… you should confess your feelings to Yuan. At least, don't leave regrets in your life. Your feelings for him are actually very deep, right?"

  Ye's face flushed red.

  "Okay… I, I'll think about it."

  Finally, they successfully reached the foot of the mountain, and Li saw their car.

  He had been afraid that the car wouldn't be there, but it seemed like he was worrying too much.

  After opening the car door, Li took out the car keys and inserted them into the door, and only when the door opened, did he and Ye finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  After getting in, Li started the engine.

  Ye closed the car door and fastened her seatbelt.

  The car started smoothly, which was quite unexpected to Li.

  He thought something would happen during the process.

  It was just… neither of them noticed… that there was a puddle of water in the back seat!

  ……

  "So you came here too?"

  The city, the apartment.

  The lobby on the first floor, two people were gathered there at this moment.

  Tang, the surgeon, and Wen, who was always gloomy.

  Actually, based on the time calculation, the four of them wouldn't be back so soon, but Tang was very worried about them, and couldn't sleep well.

  After waking up, he simply put on his clothes and came downstairs to wait for them.

  It was quite a surprise to see Wen there.

  However, Wen was still as cold and gloomy as ever, and Tang didn't say much and sat down on the sofa.

  "I wonder… how many of them will be able to come back?"

  Just as Tang was worried, the elevator door suddenly opened, and two more people walked out.

  It was Hua and his wife Lian.

  "Oh, Hua, Lian!" Tang immediately stood up and said: "You two couldn't sleep either, and came to wait for Li and the others?"

  Hua nodded, and Lian said: "I'm so worried about the four of them… especially Li and Ye, I hope at least they can come back alive…"

  Both of them also sat down on the sofa, and now at least the three of them could chat.

  Otherwise, the atmosphere would be too depressing.

  "They will definitely be able to come back alive." Lian said firmly: "They will!"

  ……

  After passing one more toll station, Li's car would be able to enter the city.

  Driving on this road, Li was truly on edge.

  Don't come out… at least not now…

  And just then, in the puddle of water on the back seat, five white, ghostly fingers began to stretch out!

  However, Li and Ye were completely unaware.

  Then, a complete hand stretched out, then another hand…

  A hideous face, full of resentment and malice, began to emerge from the water.

  The puddle began to shrink and formed the image of the female ghost.

  But Li and Ye still didn't notice.

  Because the rearview mirror in the car didn't reflect her!

  Contrary to the usual ghost stories, the rearview mirror, which is usually used in cars to "remind" the driver that there is a ghost behind them, was now actually concealing Li and Ye.

  Then… she stretched her water-soaked hands towards Ye, who was focused on looking ahead…
