Became an Infinite Game Beauty NPC

Chapter 9

Ruan Qing’s speed of running was not very fast, not even as fast as that of a normal child. Yet he was already gasping for breath.

But Ruan Qing dared not stop. That eerie feeling seemed to follow him closely, and every cell in his body screamed at him to escape.

It was as if something bad would happen if he stopped.

Ruan Qing hadn’t forgotten that he was the target of a horror livestream.

Once selected, he wouldn’t survive for three days, let alone seven.

Moreover, he had been chosen before entering the game, which meant he had been targeted for at least seven hours.

He didn’t believe that the killer hadn’t found him yet, nor did he believe that the killer would give up hunting him just because he was pitiful.

The alley was not particularly long, but not short either. Just ahead was the bustling street in front of the entrance to the Fengya Bar.

Although it was midnight, there were still quite a few people with inverted sleep schedules on the famous sleepless city’s streets.

As long as he ran onto the main street, even a murderer wouldn’t easily lay hands on him in such a public place.

It had been a long time since Ruan Qing engaged in such intense physical activity. His heart felt a slight discomfort, and his body began to sweat slightly, but he didn’t stop.

The alley was pitch-black, and the distant lights were no longer sufficient to illuminate the area. However, fortunately, there were many streetlights ahead on the street, almost illuminating the entire road.

Ruan Qing was not far from the exit of the alley because he could already see the dazzling lights on the street.

Once again, a sound came from the darkness, like footsteps or the sound of water drops hitting the ground.

The sound seemed empty yet close, causing an inexplicable tingling sensation on the scalp.

Due to being disturbed by his own footsteps and breathing, Ruan Qing was unsure if he had misheard, but he couldn’t dare to stop and listen carefully.

If he misheard, then there would be no problem. But if it wasn’t a mistake, stopping would be almost equivalent to seeking death.

Almost there, just a little further, and he would reach the street. Once he made it to the street, everything would be fine.

Just give him three more minutes.

In this stretch of the alley, there are no lights, so one can only vaguely see the road by relying on the distant lights.

However, the intense movement made it difficult for Ruan Qing to breathe, and his heart started pounding intensely, as if it couldn’t bear the load. It was probably due to lack of oxygen, as his brain started to congest, and his vision became somewhat blurry.

As a result, Ruan Qing could no longer see the road beneath his feet clearly and could only run based on his instincts.

Step.

Step.

Step.

A rhythmic sound came from the darkness, and it seemed much closer, as if just a stone’s throw away, making the empty alley somewhat eerie.

This time, Ruan Qing finally confirmed that he wasn’t hallucinating.

It was... the sound of footsteps!

Ruan Qing’s heart sank abruptly. He didn’t look back, but accelerated his pace forward.

However, even if Ruan Qing wanted to increase his speed, his worn-out body simply couldn’t support it. Moreover, due to his prolonged intense movement, his heart suddenly started throbbing in pain.
