Chapter 12: The Lingering Ghost

Lin Yi felt aggrieved.

This feeling is like playing a game that you have been playing for three days and three nights. You thought you could pass it smoothly, but you found that you still haven't left the Novice Village in the end.

He raised his head and glanced at the invigilator sitting next to the podium. He wished he could rush up and kill them right now.

Lin Yi felt angry, so he exerted force in his hand, and the tip of his pen scratched the examination paper.

He took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his emotions, and then began to plan how to escape from here.

Zhou Kai's sister will encounter a monster on June 8. Although she knew about it in advance, Lin Yi was not sure whether she could avoid it.

He didn't know the identity of the monster before it revealed its true face. If he chose to escape tomorrow, he might encounter it again.

So, the best time to escape is today.

After the exam, his mother will come to take him home. If he escapes at this time and does not see Lin walk out of the school gate, his mother will find out immediately, and his escape will be exposed immediately.

So, an excuse to come out after dinner?

No, after all, tomorrow is the last day of the college entrance examination. If you haven't gone back by night, your parents will find out.

Therefore, the most suitable time is tonight after they fall asleep.

In this way, even if the two monsters at home find out, they will have already run away.

When thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly noticed someone standing next to him.

Looking up, Lin Yi shivered in fright.

At some point, the invigilator was beside him, frowning and staring at Lin Yi's test paper.

The exam paper was empty, and Lin Yi didn't write a word.

"What are you looking at? I can't do anything?" Lin Yi said angrily.

The invigilator was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that a student who couldn't answer every question would be so arrogant.

After the invigilator walked away, Lin Yi quickly filled out the answer sheet - handing in a blank paper would look a bit suspicious.

After all, Lin Yi quickly finished the topic that he had already written once.

Finally, there were still fifteen minutes left before the end of the exam. Lin Yi handed in the paper in advance. Before leaving, he walked up to Zhou Kai and whispered a few words.

"That candidate, what are you doing?" said the invigilator, "Hurry out after handing in the exam papers, and don't whisper to each other."

After finishing his words, Zhou Kai stood up.

"Teacher, I'll hand in the paper too." Zhou Kai handed in the paper and followed Lin Yi out of the examination room.

It was still the familiar rooftop. Lin Yi told Zhou Kai what happened.

He described it very clearly, especially about Zhou Kai and his sister, so Zhou Kai had no doubts.

However, he was still a little surprised when he heard that Lu Linhai rescued him and Zhou Yun.

"I didn't expect...Lu Linhai would save me."

"He has always been a warm-hearted person." Lin Yi said casually, "Besides, there are many things you can't think of."

"If Lu Linhai hadn't saved you, I'd probably die without believing that he wasn't a monster."

"But, his heartbeat is indeed exactly the same as that of those monsters." Zhou Kai still couldn't figure this out.

"Maybe everyone's physique is different." Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Some people's hearts are still on the right side."

"Okay, don't talk about this." Lin glanced at his phone and saw that the exam was about to end.

"Don't forget tonight, I will ask Lu Linhai to join us. Then don't call him a monster again."

After experiencing everything before, Lin Yi can now act very naturally like Zhou Kai even when facing monsters.

Soon, the time came to night.

After Lin Yi made sure that the two monsters at home were asleep, he sneaked out secretly.

When they arrived at the place agreed upon with Zhou Kai, they had already arrived early.

"Lin Yi, Zhou Kai told me just now that the people around us are monsters. Is this true?" After seeing Lin Yi, Lu Linhai hurried over.

Zhou Kai spoke out when he was a monster.

Zhou Yun has always believed in his brother, so when he heard about this incident, he just felt scared.

Lu Linhai, on the other hand, had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Are we really going to leave here?" Lu Linhai hesitated.

"Zhou Kai also said that you died once to save me. Is this true?"

Lu Linhai was so full of questions that he wished he could pour them out right now.

"Lin Yi, after you die, will you really go back to the past?"

"These are all true." Lin nodded, "Besides, we have no reason to lie to you."

Lin Yi knew that Lu Linhai would not believe it immediately. If he had not been killed by monsters several times in succession, maybe he would not believe that there were monsters in this world.

"Let's talk about it on the way." Zhou Kai held Zhou Yun's hand and walked over.

"After you told me what will happen tomorrow, I paid special attention on the way back. There is indeed a monster near the orphanage."

"He's an old beggar, a little delirious, looking for drinks from people everywhere."

"The monster we will encounter tomorrow may be him."

After a few brief words, although Lu Linhai was still dubious, he still followed Lin Yi and Zhou Kai to Sifang Mountain.

Of course, a large part of the reason why he followed them was because he was worried about them.

Because they had planned their route in advance and set off at night, this time they arrived at Sifang Mountain quickly.

Climb up Sifang Mountain and continue walking after crossing this mountain. To reach the neighboring city, the entire journey is about 600 kilometers.

This is a difficult journey, but in order to survive from these monsters, they have to face it.

"Let's go." Lin Yi took a deep breath and took the first step.

The mountain road at night is not easy to walk, and because it is summer, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains and waters.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was prepared. He not only brought a flashlight, but also brought floral water.

But when Lin Yi sprayed floral water on his body, he suddenly saw Zhou Kai frowning beside him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked.

"It's a bit pungent." Zhou Kai said, covering his nose.

"Pungent?" Lin Yi looked at the floral water in his hand, "I think it smells pretty good."

After saying that, Lin Yi thought of Zhou Kai's ability.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot that your ability is enhanced senses."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Your nose now is like a dog's nose."

The moment the voice fell, Zhou Kai's face suddenly sank.

"I'm kidding, don't be angry." Noticing that Zhou Kai's face was wrong, Lin Yi hurriedly apologized.

"Hush--" Zhou Kai lowered his voice, "There is a monster following us, I heard a sound."

"What?" Lu Linhai was a little surprised, "Is there really a monster? Where is it?"

Zhou Yun didn't say anything, but she could see from her face that she was a little scared.

Zhou Kai raised his head and sniffed, but all he could smell was a pungent smell of toilet water.

So Zhou Kai turned back and glared at Lin Yi.

"Maybe it's not coming to find us." Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's hide first. We have come here, don't be discovered."

They quickly hid in the nearby bushes.

Soon, there was a rustling sound, accompanied by subtle footsteps, getting closer and closer to them.

"Is it really following us?" Lin Yi covered his mouth, and even his breathing became cautious.

But then, a voice not far away made Lin Yi shudder.

Because, it was my mother's voice.

"Yiyi, it's so late, why are you here instead of sleeping at home?"

"I have an exam tomorrow."

"Come, go home with mom."
