Chapter 181

Defense Specialization and the Haunted Mansion 4

“Sniff…snuffle…”

Running and running . Moving from room to room .

Sally did it so many times, and each time there were cold arms that grabbed her .

The reality was that she could not escape .

Had the ghosts resembled orcs or goblins, then Sally would have been able to use her abilities to evade them easily .

But when she was not able to move as always, she was nothing more than slightly faster than the average player .

Sally’s AGI had already gone down to 25% .

And that made her ability to escape even weaker .

Because of this, Sally found herself getting caught more often .

After a while, Sally was so dispirited that she locked herself into a closet, closed her eyes and started shaking .

She sent a message to Maple saying that she was in a closet and that she did not need to reply . She no longer thought for a second that she would survive alone .

“Maple…sniff…come…”

Sally mumbled to herself as she sniffed, but she heard no answer .

During this time, there were two things that were slowly approaching Sally .

One was the ghost who was chasing her, and the other was Maple, who had finally reached the same floor as her .

Maple had reached here by accident, and she was now checking each of the rooms one by one .

“Sally, I don’t know where you are . I’m looking at all the rooms… But, I’m sure you’re not dead . ”

Maple was sticking the sheets of paper on all of the ghosts she encountered as if they were exorcist charms .

While she was doing this, a bloody ghost of a child appeared in front of her and slowly came forward .

“Uh… May your soul rest in peace! Woah!?”

Maple was about to take out the item when a red handprint appeared over the screen .

“What the… Oh, the item, item . ”

Maple regained her calm and took out the item and stuck it onto the child ghost .

It burned up and quietly disappeared .

And then Maple started to navigate her inventory in order to prepare the next item .

And that’s when she noticed that she couldn’t log out anymore .

“This is what Sally was talking about… That must mean that Sally is close by!”

Maple did a celebratory fist pump .

“But…hmm . I hope she is okay . ”

The ghosts here were scarier than any she had seen before, and so she was afraid for Sally .

“Yes . She’s definitely not okay! I have to find her!”

Maple came to this conclusion after a little thought, and so she held her great shield in front of her and remained cautious, even as she rushed down the hallway .

“Sally… won’t reply . I bet she’s crying now…”

Maple tried to see if she could hear Sally’s crying as she checked every corner of the rooms .

“Oh, I know! I’ll tell Sally that I’m close by now!”

Maple sent a message to Sally and returned to her search . Sally received the message that Maple had sent .

Sally read the message and looked as if a ray of hope was shining down on her face .

“Ah, footsteps…! Maple?”

The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and then she heard the door opening . To the right of the opened door was the closet where Sally was hiding .

“Just a little…”

Sally opened the closet door just a little and peeked outside . Strangely, Sally was completely sure that this time it was Maple who had entered the room . This was a mistake on her part that came from the strong desire to be saved no matter what .

The arms were long and thin . The skin pale .

A face she had never seen before with long bangs hanging above pits where eyes should have been . The black holes were dripping as blood ran through them .

Sally and the ghost looked at each other .

They looked at each other .

“Eeee…!”

Sally closed the door in a panic, but then it was slowly reopened from the other side .

And the dark, dark pits that should have been eyes, looked at Sally through the crack .

“Ahh…”

Sally had no strength left in her . She collapsed on the closet floor .

The door was now open all the way, and the ghost slowly stretched out a hand towards Sally .

Black shadows oozed around the ghost, and thick blood dripped from its eyes .

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

“! “Throne of the Heavenly King’!”

Sally could do nothing but apologize now, but just then, someone opened the door and burst inside . It was Maple .

The field of light spread out until it reached the ghost . And then the eerie dark shadow disappeared in a flash .

“Sally! Are you okay!?”

“Ohh, ohhhh…Maple…”

Sally came out of the closet and clutched onto Maple .

“That’s a relief…but, what should we do about that?”

Maple raised her head and saw another ghost coming down from above them .

“It’s really looking at us!”
Maple tried looking away and pushing the ghost’s face with her hands, but it only went through them .

“Ohh…ooo…sniff…”

“Really, what should I do…”

Maple remained on her throne and wondered .
