Chapter 80: Trouble
Kisho Arima, who was in the lead, began to slowly retreat and at the same time motioned for them to not make any sounds.
After Kisho Arima nodded, they began to gradually retreat.
The reason why the three of them reacted like this was because there was a large space in front of them after turning around.
There were at least thousands of ghoul monsters gathered in this space.
The reason why they considered them "ghoul monsters" was because the appearance of these ghouls was very strange and sometimes even terrible.
The skin of these ghouls was dark and rough.
Unlike normal ghouls, the kagune of these ghouls was always active, and all of these ghouls possessed bikaku-type kagune.
These ghoul monsters didn't have red eyes. They had no eyes at all.
They simply didn't have eyes, and where they should have been, there was just plain dark, rough skin.
They noticed these ghouls, but these ghouls didn't notice the three of them.
After they had gone some distance away, Kisho Arima felt relieved.
— I've seen such ghouls before. They rely on hearing. Killing them is extremely difficult. If we disturb a group of these ghouls, especially one of this size, we will die — " Of course, Kisho Arima had some knowledge of the secrets of the 24th district.
But in the original work, Su Xiao had never seen those primitive ghouls and those eyeless ghouls.
— What do we do now? Yuna looked at Kisho Arima. It was obvious that she treated Arima Kisho as a leader.
— Let's go the other way.
Su Xiao didn't say anything, and Yuna didn't object.
Three people started looking for another way, but after two hours they came to the same conclusion.
With the exception of the passage where there was a large group of eyeless ghouls, the other four paths led to a dead end.
And according to the compass, the only way to get out was through a passage filled with these monsters.
The three people sat down near the aisle and started discussing the plan.
Su Xiao was holding a notebook with a pen.
— Here, here and here we have never been. Judging by the map I drew, district 24 is shaped like a funnel. The path leading deep into the 24th district is the beginning of the "funnel" and is the "big head", and the" small head " that led into the ground is the exit. From this, it can be understood that the entrance and exit of the 24 district is fixed and always has a fixed direction.
— Judging by the 17 dead ends we've reached before, this is the only way out.
There was a detailed map in Su Xiao's notebook.
The map even included latitude and longitude, as well as a zoom level.
Yuna looked at Su Xiao with admiration.
— How did you do it, how did you remember the route we took? but not only was Yuna surprised, but Kisho Arima also looked at Su Xiao in amazement.
The pen quickly spun in Su Xiao's hands. — I've done some very unique things in the past. I often made my way to some places to search for a specific person. It's a habit I've developed over the years.
Yuna thought about it. "It sounds like you were a hitman.
— Almost, the essence of my profession was the same, but the reasons were completely different — " Su Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.
— Now we can wait for changes in the terrain or we can try to pass through the danger zone.
Kisho Arima and Yuna thought for a while.
— Our supplies won't be able to supply us until the next shift of the 24th district.
Yuna and Kisho Arima's food and fresh water would only last for four days. Given the constant battles, they would definitely not be able to feed themselves until the next shift of the 24th district.
Su Xiao had plenty of supplies, but he didn't want to sit around waiting, because every minute in the derivative world was valuable.
— If we don't make a sound, these ghouls won't notice us, " Kisho Arima said.
— Let's take a chance.
Kisho Arima and Yuna stood up.
— Since we decided to take the risk, I have a plan, " Su Xiao suddenly said.
— Plan?
— Since these ghouls are guided by sounds, we can create sound sources, and then just wait at certain positions. The sound sources will attract attention, and we will take this opportunity and leave.
Su Xiao didn't want to fight these eyeless ghouls. He saw Arima Kisho's attitude and knew that these eyeless ghouls would be difficult to deal with.
— I've used a similar method before, and the effect was remarkable.
— But where do we get the sound source from?
Su Xiao smiled and pulled out his mobile phone, then quickly set up something on it — "We have five minutes," after these words, Su Xiao put the phone on the ground and they ran away.
They came to a dead end that was located closest to the ghouls...
*Dudu-doo-doo-doo-doo-dudu~*
Suddenly, a very energetic melody rang out, and Yuna began to writhe her entire body, while her hands began to move vigorously.
— It's my favorite song!
Su Xiao was speechless, and Kisho Arima turned his head to the side.
A few seconds after the music started, a noise was heard.
*Boom-bang-bang...*
Thousands of horses seemed to be rushing in the distance.
They looked at each other and rushed to the only exit...
They didn't have much time, and who knew when those eyeless ghouls would return.
They were moving very fast. Kisho Arima was first, Yuna was in the middle, and Su Xiao was last.
In just a dozen seconds, they reached the corner...
Kisho Arima suddenly stopped and put one hand behind his back, while his palm was facing Su Xiao and Yuna.
Su Xiao immediately stopped and looked at the large space around the corner.
A few eyeless ghouls remained in place.
— What should we do? Yuna whispered.
— Don't make a sound and go slowly, " Kisho Arima said, and walked slowly forward, Yuna following him.
Su Xiao remained standing in his spot and didn't move. Kisho Arima looked at Su Xiao with some doubt.
Su Xiao pointed his thumb back, then pointed his index finger at the two of them and waved his hand.
The meaning of his gesture was obvious. Three people would make a louder sound if they went forward at the same time, and they didn't know when those ghouls would return.
They would leave first, and he would follow.
Kisho Arima nodded and motioned for him to be careful.
Yuna gave a thumbs up and waited for Kisho Arima to move.
Su Xiao didn't do this to sacrifice himself to save others. They were in the same boat right now, and any wrong move would sink their boat.
Arima Kisho's pace wasn't fast, but it was very stable. They had to traverse a space about 200 meters long. It wasn't too long, but it wasn't short either.
In less than three minutes, Kisho Arima carefully walked through space.
*Ar-r-r!*
A low roar rang out and the three people's bodies tensed. One eyeless ghoul who was sleeping on the ground was suddenly woken up by his comrade's kagune.
He pushed it away roughly and lay down more comfortably...
Yuna was already halfway there, and there were always four or five eyeless ghouls at her feet, making her movements very careful.
Su Xiao was still behind and pressed one ear to the ground.
It was safe for now — those eyeless ghouls who had gone to the source of the sound hadn't started coming back yet.
Soon, Su Xiao also began to slowly move through the ghouls, and every step he took was very careful.
