Chapter 24 The Unstoppable Ghostly Shadow
Chapter 24 The Unstoppable Ghostly Shadow
Taxi driver Lao Feng was about to ask the sweaty man if he was the one who placed the order, but upon hearing the loud shout, he reflexively stepped on the gas pedal.
"Boom—!"
The taxi engine roared.
It roared and charged out of its original spot in an instant.
Aside from the roar of the engine.
At that moment, a second voice appeared in Lin Yue's ear.
"bite--"
"The host actually completed the goal of 10 kilometers. To achieve this goal, both physical and mental strength are indispensable. Now your body has become stronger, more beautiful, and more attractive. Please keep up the good work."
"bite--"
Congratulations on receiving a special reward.
Special Bonus: Burst Acceleration
"Skill Description: Burst Acceleration..."
The mission is finally complete.
But Lin Yue felt it was far too early to relax.
He turned his head, his eyes fixed intently on the movements of the sprinting ghostly figure behind him.
As the car's speed increased,
Four wheels are still much faster than two legs.
No matter how fast the running ghostly figure sped up, it could no longer catch up.
Finally, the running ghostly figure flickered and came to a stop.
Lin Yue wiped away her sweat, a surge of joy welling up inside her, and a smile of relief appeared on her lips.
Is this thing not keeping up?
Is this finally coming to an end?
······
In a corner where Lin Yue wasn't paying attention, Ma Yuan watched the departing vehicles, stopped his bicycle, and scratched his head in bewilderment.
"Why did you suddenly get on the bus? Am I that scary? Why do you act like you've seen a ghost when you see me?"
But then his mind raced, and he suddenly came to his senses.
Did I... lose that child?
Ma Yuan felt as if he had lost a million-dollar lottery prize, and instantly slumped down.
My dream of winning the championship.
Broken.
······
The fleeing ghost figure completely ignored Ma Yuan beside him.
Those eyes were fixed on the rear of the car, and his whole aura exuded an extremely unwilling feeling. With this intense emotion, his body also changed accordingly. His already distorted body became even more ferocious and terrifying, and he suddenly grew almost half a meter taller.
From a distance, it looks like a giant.
It opened its blackened mouth, its whole body exuding a ghostly aura, and a strange red light surged forth.
Surprisingly, he started tiptoeing again and chased after the car once more.
And its speed this time was truly like the wind!
The fleeing ghostly figure transformed into a scarlet streak of light, leaving a long, straight line, exuding a menacing aura.
······
Lin Yue stared at the rear window of the taxi for about half a minute before she finally felt relieved.
After realizing that I am safe.
He felt as if all the tendons in his body had been pulled out, and he collapsed into the car seat.
Lin Yue carefully moved her thigh.
A sharp pain shot straight to my brain.
"hiss--!"
The pain made his eyes widen, and he gasped.
It hurts so much.
Now that he's stopped, his adrenaline has stopped being released, and he feels like his whole body has been put through a meat grinder; there's not a single part of him that doesn't hurt.
Even the slightest breath can cause my chest muscles to ache.
Lin Yue knew that all the muscles in her body must be severely strained, and it was even possible that she had some degree of rhabdomyolysis.
He quickly summoned the system light screen.
My personal panel immediately appeared before my eyes.
"Host: Lin Yue."
Gender: Male.
Occupation: Third-year student at Seongnam University.
Strength: 0.9.
Agility: 1.3.
"Spirit: 1.2".
"Constitution: 1.1."
Willpower: 1.5
Without a second thought, Lin Yue added one of the mission rewards she had just received—0.1 free attribute points—to her constitution.
"Constitution: 1.1-1.2"
The moment the panel data changes.
A powerful surge of warmth instantly rushed into his body, rapidly repairing the muscle cells that had been damaged and broken down due to excessive exercise, making them stronger and more resilient.
Lin Yue's pain throughout her body was thus relieved to a great extent.
The exhilarating feeling of going from hell to heaven in that instant was so good that he almost groaned out in pleasure.
After waiting a few seconds...
The abnormal redness all over Lin Yue's body began to subside, and her rapid, engine-like breathing gradually calmed down.
He looked at the light screen in front of him with admiration.
Even with medical intervention, it would take at least half a month for muscle damage of this severity to recover.
The system, however, cured most of the problems in just a few seconds.
This kind of treatment method, which has no scientific basis, is a miracle that only a system like this, which defies common sense, can achieve.
While driving, the driver, Lao Feng, kept glancing at the rearview mirror on the right side of his head.
After watching for a long time.
He couldn't help but ask, "Uh, hello, I forgot to ask earlier, are you the customer whose phone number ends in ****?"
Lin Yue nodded and said, "No need to doubt it, it's the order I placed for you. You didn't pick up the wrong person. And I'll transfer the remaining 300 to you after you get off the bus."
Old Feng was immediately happy.
As long as I didn't connect to the wrong number.
He was startled by the customer's shout and instinctively stepped on the gas.
It wasn't until quite some time after the car had driven away that he realized what if he had picked up the wrong person. Wouldn't he then lose the extra 300 yuan?
Thankfully, the wrong customer wasn't mistaken.
but······
Old Feng looked at the rearview mirror again with suspicion.
In his eyes, the young man's entire body was soaked, covered in sweat. If his clothes were wrung out, they could probably yield a basin of water. His face also looked like he had just survived a disaster.
Was he just being chased?
"Um, sir, is something wrong? You seemed quite anxious just now."
"You don't need to worry about that, just focus on driving. I just have something urgent to attend to." Lin Yue wasn't in the mood to reply.
Old Feng had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.
The taxi suddenly fell silent.
Lin Yue took a few deep breaths, and after feeling less uncomfortable, she wanted to close her eyes and rest.
something unexpected may happen any time.
The very instant his eyes closed.
A strong chill ran down my spine again.
Lin Yue's eyes widened instantly.
This feeling is exactly the same as when I was targeted by that running ghostly figure before!
He instinctively turned his head to look behind the car.
A twisted red streak of light quickly chased after the taxi. Within the crimson light, a hideous and terrifying figure could be vaguely seen, with long limbs and a damaged body, as if it had just been in a car accident.
Such injuries are inflicted on a human body.
That person has probably already died from blood loss.
But the ghostly figure used its tiptoeing feet to create a frequency that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
His eyes were fixed intently on Lin Yue's, filled with undisguised malice.
Lin Yue's blood seemed to freeze instantly, and her whole body felt incredibly cold.
A frantic, ghostly figure is chasing after me?!
Does this thing never stop?
