Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 22 Part 2

In an instant, the female ghost pounced on Li Gushu.

In Li Gushu’s hand, a rolled-up newspaper burst into flames.

When the others saw the thing in her hand, they were shocked.

Li Gushu actually had a recruitment advertisement!

But what was even more shocking was that in the corresponding copy, as long as the recruitment advertisement was activated, one would be invincible in an instant. But now, it has been consumed in an instant.

The curse had completely appeared, it was almost unstoppable.

“Let’s go!”

Someone shouted, and everyone ran towards the building next door.

Bai Qiuye had learned her lesson from the first copy. In order to avoid encountering a ghost alone, she didn’t run to the front.

Beautiful Apartment had a total of four buildings, which were all connected to each other.

Between the two adjacent buildings, there was an iron door.

When they ran, they were heading towards Building 1, Block B. Just as they were about to reach the iron door, an old man covered in black spots suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs.

He supported himself with a walking stick, stopping in front of everyone. On his waxy white face, there was a pair of black hole-like eyes. Two bright red tears of blood flowed down from his eyes.

“We’re still missing a few.”

Bai Qiuye immediately recognized him. This old man was one of the ghosts she had seen on the first floor before.

He should have been controlled by the Taoist Master, grinding around the Eight Trigrams Formation.

But now, these ghosts seemed to have turned out in full force, there was probably only one goal — — to capture them.

“Let’s hurry, that door is about to close.”

The last person in Gao Lang’s group shouted, and rushed towards the iron door.

But before he could touch the door, he felt a weight on his back.

Turning around, he saw that it was the old man who had been standing at the top of the stairs.

The old man looked completely different from how he used to be. Several heads had grown out of his hunched back, each of their lips were constantly moving, as if they were chewing.

The door on the left was blocked, the female ghost on the right was chasing after them, and there were still other ghosts coming up the stairs.

There seemed to be only one way out.

Upstairs.

The tense atmosphere pressed down on their nerves. The higher they ran, the more dilapidated the corridor became.

Bai Qiuye discovered that most of the people around her had disappeared, only Zeng Xianqing was left.

The mottled paint on the wall wrote “Fifth Floor”.

Coming out from the corner, the corridor came into view. The exposed pipes and steel bars made the entire floor look dangerous.

“Why are they all gone!” Zeng Xianqing looked around nervously.

“I don’t know either.” Bai Qiuye was very distressed. When she was running, she had been following Li Gushu closely. She didn’t expect that she would still lose her.

The viewers in the live broadcast could see that when everyone went upstairs, their vision seemed to be blocked by something. They turned a blind eye to the people around them and split up to go to different buildings.

Bai Qiuye asked, “Are we still in Building 2, Block B?”

Zeng Xianqing shook her head. “I was only responsible for notifying Building 1, Block B. I’m sure that this is definitely not the fifth floor of Building 1. ”

Bai Qiuye said, “Looks like we can only try our luck first.”

“I’m very worried about my husband. I want to go downstairs and have a look.” Zeng Xianqing wrung her hands and said, “He’s injured. I’m afraid he can’t hold on.”

Bai Qiuye looked down the stairs. Through the railing of the stairs, she realised that she could not see the ground of the first floor.

The entire staircase seemed to be extended infinitely, and the floors were expanded endlessly.

She couldn’t help but think of the ghost stories she had heard before.

“There were two men going down the stairs. About ten minutes later, they realised that the wall of the staircase still showed the fifth floor.” Bai Qiuye suddenly said.

Zeng Xianqing couldn’t help but look at the wall next to her.

The number “5” that was about to fall was stuck to the pale wall.

“In the end, they got tired of walking, so they started a discussion. They decided that one of them will wait upstairs while the other walked down the stairs. When the person reached the bottom, he would call the other upstairs down.” Bai Qiuye continued, her voice sounding eerie in the corridor.

“Stop talking.” Zeng Xianqing said in fear.

“I’m not done yet.” Bai Qiuye looked at her seriously. “The person who was scouting took a flashlight and started to walk down.
After walking for who knows how long, he suddenly realised that there was someone sitting on the stairs with a flashlight. ”

“He was very happy. He rushed down to greet that person and asked him how to leave this staircase.” Bai Qiuye looked at Zeng Xianqing deeply. “Guess what happened to him after that?”

“I don’t want to know.” Zeng Xianqing’s hand that was holding the flashlight began to tremble.

“The moment the person sitting on the stairs turned around, the person who was scouting realised that it was actually his friend who was supposed to be upstairs.” Bai Qiuye said, “But when his friend turned around, it was actually a face without any facial features!”

“Ah! I’m not going downstairs. I’m not going.” Zeng Xianqing said, covering her ears.

“I definitely didn’t mean to scare you. I just couldn’t bear to see you die.” Bai Qiuye looked at her with relief.

In fact, if Zeng Xianqing had left her alone upstairs, she might have been the one who was scared to death.

Bai Qiuye said, “We definitely can’t go downstairs now. We can only go up, but we don’t know what’s going on upstairs.”

Zeng Xianqing thought about it. “Why don’t we finish patrolling this floor first?”

Bai Qiuye looked at her with admiration. “You don’t forget to work even under such circumstances. You really are a capitalist’s best employee.”

Zeng Xianqing adjusted her walkie-talkie and said, “It’s because I’m short of survival coupons. I can only get survival coupons if I successfully complete the job.”

She fiddled with the walkie-talkie for a long time, but she couldn’t contact anyone. “This is useless.”

Zeng Xianqing sighed again. “I don’t know how he is now. If he dies, I really can’t raise my daughter alone.”

Bai Qiuye thought of the first time she met him in the supermarket and didn’t say anything for a moment.

Zeng Xianqing said, “If there is a way to get a large number of survival coupons at once, I will do it. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it.”

Bai Qiuye heard this and her heart skipped a beat. She asked, “Then have you heard of any rumors before that you can get a large number of survival coupons?”

Zeng Xianqing seemed to think that Bai Qiuye’s idea was funny, and her expression relaxed a lot.

Zeng Xianqing said, “Of course there are many rumors, but they are all fake.”

Bai Qiuye asked again, “Then is it possible that there is a real one mixed in with the fake ones, but everyone is too lazy to try?”

“The rumors circulating on the forum are obviously fake. Any adult with normal intelligence knows that it’s impossible,” Zeng Xianqing said. “But everyone’s desire for survival coupons is too strong. Even if they know that it’s fake, they will still try it.”

“So you can completely ignore those rumors. They have all been tried, and they are all fake,” Zeng Xianqing said with certainty.

Bai Qiuye was a little disappointed when she heard Zeng Xianqing’s words.

She thought that she could find some clues about her parents’ whereabouts from her.

“Zeng Xianqing’s words can prove that Uncle Chen’s reason for attracting my parents to the Wuqi District is definitely not nonsense,” she thought to herself.

While Bai Qiuye was thinking about this, Zeng Xianqing suddenly said, “Did you hear any sound behind you?”

“I heard it …” Bai Qiuye froze. “Not only did I hear it, I also saw it.”

Bai Qiuye grabbed Zeng Xianqing. “Run!”

Not far behind them, red lips were smiling brightly in the reflection of the icy blue cement.

Her black hair was heavy on her shoulders and dragged on the ground, rhythmically moving on the uneven ground.

The two of them ran through the corridors, and the doors that were supposed to be closed opened in front of them.

Pale hands seeped out of the door, trying to brush past their bodies. Like poisonous snakes clinging to souls, arrogantly spitting out cold apricots.

The sudden notification made Bai Qiuye dizzy.

She turned to Zeng Xianqing and said, “Did you get a part-time job?”

Bai Qiuye’s voice was stuck in her throat. Zeng Xianqing hand she was holding felt like it had been placed in a freezer. The coldness spread from her fingertips to her heart at lightning speed.

The person she had been dragging along the entire way was not Zeng Xianqing, but the female ghost with red lips.

Bai Qiuye: “…”

Help!

The female ghost suddenly let go of her hand and turned around, using her slender back to face her.

A countdown appeared on Bai Qiuye’s terminal.

[60 seconds]

[59 seconds]

[58 seconds]

…

Bai Qiuye ran in the direction of the stairs.

When she ran to the top of the stairs, she discovered something even more despairing.

The iron door that connected to this building was locked tightly. There was no way for her to hide in other buildings.

Bai Qiuye ran up a few floors and looked up. The red words on the white wall had the same “5” written on it.

She glanced at the time. There were still thirty seconds left.

Obviously, this staircase was an infinite loop. No matter what, she would return to the fifth floor.

Even if she kept running up the stairs, she would eventually be caught by the ghosts.

A dusty memory suddenly flashed across Bai Qiuye’s mind.

More than ten years ago, when she and her friends were playing hide-and-seek in the beautiful apartment, they had found a suitable place to hide.

She continued to hide there, and even after everyone had left, she did not leave.

That night, she heard her parents’ voices.
After she came out with dirty clothes, her mother treated her to a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

If it was that place, she should be able to hide.

[20 seconds]

Bai Qiuye ran to the flowerbed and bent down to take a look.
