>>6141510You’ve killed countless opponents, fought horrors the like you cannot even describe, and continue to stare at death unflinchingly, but compared to whoever once possessed this phone? Your bravery can only be considered second-rate at best. At least your phone background was a scenic shot of an anime you liked, so normies couldn’t tell it wasn’t just an art piece. Quickly, you test the other phones and see the exact same wallpaper, and they seem to be the same make, too. Copies of some sort, perhaps a Cheat Skill? You shake your head. You can ponder that later. Now you have confirmation there’s a Stranger here, and either they’re in trouble, or they’ve just caused trouble since this blood has to have come from somewhere.
If only the mist wasn’t so thick, you might be able to track where it leads, but as you hear a few more obnoxiously loud creaks and look over your shoulder a few times for good measure, the mist seems to get thicker and thicker. Is it related to what you just found or mere coincidence? You rack your mind but don’t have enough information to make that deduction. But what you do know is that the longer you stay in one spot, the more unsafe you feel. Best to get moving.
But to where?
