Chapter 17 The Corpse Photographer

Even if Deputy Director Yu and Cui Jiani hadn't been caught by the black-line-infested ghosts, they definitely shouldn't be swaggering around on the first floor. Wasn't that throwing themselves into the net?..."

Just as Shen Wei was racking his brains, a simple and honest voice echoed in the corridor.

"Shen Wei, it's Fatty. Where are you? I woke up and you were all gone. What's going on? Isn't the hide-and-seek game over?..."

The fat photographer's voice echoed from the corridor outside.

"That fat photographer didn't die? That doesn't make sense. Where did he go before?"

The Evil God's Right Hand mumbled in confusion.

"It's a trap. That Fatty is definitely dead. He might be testing me, or maybe the things I drew are actually working. Those black lines can't penetrate the black lines themselves, so that Fatty wants to break down my door..."

Shen Wei thought of this and was suddenly alarmed. He hurriedly leaned his body against the storage room door.

"Shen Wei, are you there? Shen Wei, are you inside? If you are, please answer me. I'm so scared, those things are too terrifying..."

Fatty's slightly tearful voice lingered outside the storage room door.

Shen Wei just listened with a solemn expression, not making a sound.

"Shen Wei, I know you're inside, but why won't you answer me? Why? You abandoned us and fled alone, you coward, you traitor..."

The fat photographer's tone became more and more agitated, then his voice suddenly stopped.

"Hold on tight, kid, he's going to crash through..."

The Evil God's Right Hand raised up, staring at the thin wooden door with the red eye pattern on its palm, and warned Shen Wei loudly.

Hearing this, Shen Wei's pupils suddenly constricted. He gathered all his strength and braced against the wooden door.

With a loud bang, the wooden door shattered into pieces as if hit by a giant tank. Shen Wei was also slammed against the wall by the powerful impact, slid to the ground, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"My strength is already 5 or 6 times that of a normal person. His strength is at least several times mine. How did he do it? Is he not human anymore?"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Shen Wei felt his chest tightness ease a lot. He raised his head and, through the flying dust, saw the tall, fat photographer standing motionless in the doorway, tilting his head and staring at him with bloodshot eyes!

Seeing the bizarre fat photographer, Shen Wei's pupils shrank in shock, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. Because Shen Wei realized that the fat photographer's neck wasn't intentionally twisted to that strange angle.

Instead, his fat neck seemed to have been cut by something sharp, leaving only a layer of skin still attached. So when he walked, his neck would be twisted at an almost right angle to his shoulder, which looked quite strange.

"Shen Wei, why didn't you come to save me? Why didn't you come to save me? I was dragged into the dark wall space by those terrible guys after they cut my throat. You don't know, it really hurts, it really hurts so much. It was so terrifying..."

"But fortunately, I found you. They said that as long as I find you, they'll let me go and let me leave here. Luckily, I finally found you..."

The fat photographer with the severed neck didn't attack Shen Wei again. He just stood at the door, staring at Shen Wei, as if preventing him from escaping.

"Found you, found you..."

"Found you, found you..."

Countless strange, childish voices came, and then countless stain-like black lines appeared on the ground and walls outside the door.

Almost in the blink of an eye, those black lines walked out of the walls, turning into one black-line-infested ghost after another.

They stared at Shen Wei with bizarre eyes and hideous faces, as if putting him on trial.

"Kid, do you have any other plans, like a plan B or something? If not, I think you can find a comfortable place to lie down and wait for death..."

The Evil God's Right Hand said with an anxious expression.

"Now that you mention it, I really do have a plan B, but I'd like to stall for a few more seconds if possible..."

Shen Wei looked at his watch, and beads of sweat also appeared on his forehead.

"Forget it, I have to get out of here first. This feeling of waiting for death is too thrilling. If that 'ghost' who's looking for people appears here, I'm dead for sure. Let's break the situation first..."

After saying that, Shen Wei quickly took out the Yin-Yang Umbrella from the Odd Ring, drew out the long knife, and shattered the very small window with one slash. Then he directly broke through the window and escaped to the outside of the teaching building.

In the instant Shen Wei disappeared, that strange little girl, completely infested with black lines, abruptly appeared at the door of the storage room!

The black-line-infested little girl ghost slowly walked into the storage room. She looked at the broken window, and then looked at the outside of the teaching building. Then she said to those ghosts and the fat photographer infested with black lines.

"He's still in this teaching building, go find him. I want to tear him to pieces..."

The black-line-infested little girl said through gritted teeth.

A strong sense of weightlessness instantly enveloped Shen Wei. A few seconds later, Shen Wei regained consciousness. At this time, he appeared in a classroom on the second floor.

This classroom was exactly the one he had previously crashed through the window on the third floor to jump out of the teaching building, and returned to on the second floor.

"Kid, I really admire you for thinking of using this method to escape the omnipresent pursuit of that black-line-infested ghost. I never thought the script's scene transition could be used like this. Aren't you just purely exploiting a bug?..."

The Evil God's Right Hand exclaimed at Shen Wei.

"As long as we can hold on for a little over a minute, let's talk as we go. Try to delay the time they find out about this secret. Now we'd better go to the top floor..."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Wei had already rushed out of the classroom and ran towards the rooftop.

"The setting of the script is that you can't escape this teaching building, so every time I rush out of the teaching building's window, I'll be randomly teleported to a classroom on the second floor where I'll die. This is also one of the lifelines that the Rule Anomaly game gives us, just like the scene transitions in other classrooms, except that the location of this transition is fixed, and it's also the final ending..."

Shen Wei opened the door to the rooftop and closed it tightly again.

"Youzi, what I need to calculate now is the correct time node for them to arrive at the rooftop, so that I can control the transition time in advance and be invincible..."

Shen Wei said to his Evil God's Right Hand.

"Okay, but to be clear, good fences make good neighbors, two years of lifespan! No bargaining!"

The Evil God's Right Hand said solemnly.
