The Call

A real "ghost"... was playing hide-and-seek with them, trying to find them all...

　　Tang instantly shivered and subconsciously turned his head to look back.

　　 He immediately quickened his pace and asked Li as he ran: "Li... Li, what do you think we should do now?"

　　In fact, Li had already vaguely realized the possibility of the "ghost" appearing in front of them in this way. 

　　Moreover, he guessed that no matter how they chose the "ghost," it would be the nonexistent "Si" who would be chosen.

　　Li continued to think about how to deal with the current situation. 

　　Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Try to run around randomly without any pattern, but you must make sure that you are getting further and further away from the top of the mountain. Your escape route should be very chaotic, and also, don't go near any cliffs. Absolutely do not hide in a fixed place, as it will be easy to be found!"

　　"I... I understand…"

　　"If you get hungry, eat something while you run, and try not to stop. If you get really tired, you can only rest for a short time, and you must always pay attention to your surroundings. Remember, try to avoid narrow paths, the more open the place, the safer it is! I'll call the other three people, be careful!"

　　After hanging up the phone, Li immediately called Chen.

　　Chen was also far away from the top of the mountain at this time, wandering around the mountain in circles. 

　　When he felt his phone vibrate, he quickly took it out and saw that it was a call from Li.

　　"Hello, Li… what's wrong?"

　　Li immediately told him everything. 

　　At first, Chen didn't react, but after a while, he was enlightened as if he had been struck by lightning!

　　There was no one named Si in his memory!

　　"How, how is that possible…" After all, Chen had only moved into the apartment half a year ago and had only carried out one blood inscription instruction. 

　　He couldn't understand such a bizarre and inexplicable phenomenon.

　　Li repeated what he had just told Tang to him, and then said: "In any case, don't panic first. Actually, it's good this way. At least we know the meaning of the blood inscription instruction now. It's better this way than everything being shrouded in mystery."

　　Then, Li called Yang…

　　At this time, Zhang had reached the gully on the north side of Huayan Mountain. 

　　He couldn't find any place to hide at all, not even a single tree.

　　He took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp, then wiped his mouth. 

　　The pain in his ankle was much better than before.

　　 But even so, it was still difficult to walk. If he tried to run, it would be even more uncomfortable.

　　He won't chase after me, will he?

　　Zhang carefully recalled everything related to Si. 

　　But suddenly, he realized that his memories of Si were quite vague. 

　　What was even more strange was that less than an hour after they parted ways, he couldn't even clearly remember what Si looked like.

　　"What's wrong with me… is my memory failing?"

　　Zhang put the mineral water back in his bag and continued to walk. 

　　But after taking only a few steps, the phone in his inner pocket started to vibrate.

　　"Hmm? Who is it?"

　　He took out the phone and saw that it was a call from Li. 

　　He had just opened the flip phone when he suddenly felt his left foot step on something and lose its footing. 

　　He quickly grabbed a large rock that protruded from the ground nearby, and the phone fell off the cliff!

　　Zhang was terrified when he grabbed the rock, but then his hair stood on end!

　　This… why is there a cliff here?

　　 It was clearly a flat piece of ground just now!

　　 And looking at the height of the cliff, it was at least fifty or sixty meters, if he fell…

　　Zhang's face instantly turned pale with fear!

　　Escape… He must escape as soon as possible!

　　...

　　Chen was on the west side of the mountain at this time.

　　 After receiving Li's call, he didn't dare to relax at all and kept running, as a result, his physical strength was almost exhausted.

　　However, the thought of a "ghost" chasing them… made Chen dare not stop for even a moment!

　　After all, it was not a human! 

　　No matter how fast he ran or how well he hid, there was always a chance that he would be found! This was truly terrifying!

　　The closer they got to the bottom of the mountain, the harder it was to walk. 

　　Not only was the ground uneven, but there were also more and more rocks. 

　　This greatly affected their speed.

　　And just then, his phone vibrated again.

　　Chen quickly took out his phone and saw that the caller was… his ex-wife!

　　He immediately slowed down and answered the phone. 

　　He had called his ex-wife many times over the past six months, but she had never answered. 

　　Why was she calling him today?

　　As soon as he answered, he heard his ex-wife's voice, clearly choked with sobs: 

　　"Chen! Something terrible happened! Something terrible happened! Our son, Bing was hit by a car! He's in the hospital and they're trying to save him! His blood type is RH negative… mine isn't, and the blood bank doesn't have that type… only you can donate blood to him…"

　　Chen's mind went blank, and his hand holding the phone started to tremble…

　　He was RH negative, and this blood type is quite rare, so if someone with this blood type needs a transfusion, they usually need a family member to donate blood. 

　　His son had inherited this blood type…

　　"How… how could this happen!" Chen felt like his heart was breaking, "How did he get hit by a car? Is it serious?"

　　At this moment, he had even forgotten his own situation.

　　"It was at noon… during his lunch break, he went to play outside the school, and he was hit by a car when he crossed the road because the driver ran a red light… I, when I got to the hospital, Bing, Bing, he was covered in blood… The doctor said if, if he doesn't get a blood transfusion soon, it will be very dangerous! The hospital, is the Zhengtian Hospital..."

　　"Zhengtian Hospital?" Chen's heart skipped a beat. 

　　The hospital wasn't that far, if he drove as fast as he could, it would take about an hour to get there…

　　"Bing...how long can Bing hold on?" Chen was about to go crazy at this point.

　　"The doctors are doing everything they can to save him now… He lost too much blood, if… if he doesn't get a blood transfusion soon, he'll be in danger! He's in the emergency room on the 5th floor..."

　　Of course, Chen was in a hurry, but… he couldn't leave Huayan Mountain!
