My palms were sweaty. I waited for the flashlight beam to move to another spot before running to another cardboard box.

I have to be fast! The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it gets!

I gritted my teeth, encouraging myself.

Through the gaps in the cardboard box, I saw Lin Jia walking away, and I quickly moved to the next spot.

Very close now!

If I succeed this time, I'll be safe! I sped up and ran towards the exit.

But Lin Jia seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.

The flashlight beam locked onto me.

I had nowhere to escape.
