Amateur Detective Files On Paranormal Encounters

Discovered

As Duncan continued to observe, all of a sudden, the living person turned around and started making a beeline in his direction.

There was no mistaking it... he was definitely heading for Duncan’s location, especially when the person started waving his hands in the air at him and began shouting at the top of their lungs.

“Help! Please, you over there... help me!”

“Fuck!” Duncan cursed aloud.

There was no need to doubt it anymore; he had been discovered, and now this person was heading in his direction while leading an entire horde of zombies behind him.

Damn it!

The urge to repeatedly curse the person’s entire ten generations of family members rose up within Duncan, but he didn’t have the time for that.

Immediately, Duncan bolted upright and immediately turned around to run in the completely opposite direction.

As for helping the other person... don’t be stupid!

It was already lucky enough that Duncan hadn’t run up to him and beaten him to death, so don’t expect him to lend a helping hand just because the person asked.

Don’t forget that just seconds ago, Duncan was thinking about how to use the person as bait, so guess it was lucky for him that it didn’t happen... though it still remained to be seen if that would be the case later.

Seeing Duncan immediately stand up to run after hearing him call for help, the other person immediately panicked and quickly called out frantically.

“Hey, wait! Don’t run—help me!”

Yeah, right, as if. In your dreams, Duncan thought and continued running away.

As Duncan pretended he didn’t hear him and just kept running, the other person no longer called out to him but immediately put more strength in his legs and continued to sprint after Duncan.

Looking back, Duncan saw the person still chasing after him and frowned deeply.

He had to give it to them; this person was very tenacious and relentless.

Right now, they were close enough to allow Duncan to get a clear glimpse of the person running after him.

He was a middle-aged man, probably around the same age as Duncan, maybe a bit older. He was slightly chubby and was wearing a suit with a tie around his neck, looking like he was just returning from work when he suddenly entered here.

Noticing all this, Duncan was even more impressed by the man, feeling that he was very incredible for someone of his age.

You should know that men at this age, especially corporate drones, were usually not the healthiest they’d ever been due to not having enough time to exercise, and they mostly ate foods that weren’t exactly healthy.

It was evidently the case for this man too, with his chubby body that begged one to wonder when the last time he’d been to the gym was; and yet, here he was sweating buckets after having run who knows for how long, and yet he was still keeping pace with Duncan in front of him.

If this wasn’t impressive, then what was?

But the problem with this scene is that one living person running around for dear life had already caused a commotion amongst a few zombies... what then would happen when two living people were running as if their life depended on it—which it did, it definitely did.

Roar!

At the sight of two living beings, the zombies were immediately thrown into a frenzy which spurred them to chase after Duncan and the other man even more relentlessly and faster.

Even the zombies standing in front of the white conical exit were drawn away by Duncan and the man and immediately gave chase—all of them.

Damn it!

This was not looking good at all. With this many zombies chasing after him, it would make it harder to lose them and escape.

Thinking about it, Duncan decided to change tactics and immediately came up with a plan.

Slowing down his speed, Duncan caught his breath while waiting for the other man to catch up. Meanwhile, he ran his plan over and over in his head to make sure there was no problem with it.

Soon, the other man caught up with Duncan, his eyes welling up with tears at the sight of another living person so that he looked like he was just about to weep.

Panting heavily, the man, upon reaching Duncan, immediately started talking.

“Huff, friend, huff, wait up, huff, a second, huff...”

“Please slow down a little, will you?” The man said as he caught up to Duncan.

Duncan didn’t say anything and waited until they were running side by side; but before he could say anything, the man immediately started speaking once again.

“Phew, you sure run very fast, friend. But why did you run away like that... didn’t you see me waving and calling out to you for help? Instead, you just bolted without coming to help me at all,” he said with some grievance.

Urgh!

Not the foolish type, Duncan thought to himself, thinking that if the man was in his own shoes, he would’ve done exactly the same as he did, if not choosing to flee even faster than Duncan had.

But Duncan didn’t have time to dwell on that.

As the man continued speaking, Duncan was about to interrupt him when he suddenly paused after hearing something the man said.

“Listen friend, do you happen to know what is going on here and what those terrifying creatures that are chasing us are? The only thing I know is that I was walking down the street when all of a sudden I felt the world shift and found myself in an empty area with all those things surrounding me, looking like they were about to eat me alive.”

After hearing the last part of the man’s words, the words Duncan was about to speak suddenly froze on his tongue.

Immediately, Duncan turned to face the man with rapt attention and quickly demanded, “What did you say just now?”

“You found yourself where after appearing in this place?”
