This place is not suitable for a long stay. Xu Yiqiu knew that those two ghosts were still blocking another exit for her. If she didn’t co for a long ti, they might co here.
After confirming the key was still on her, Xu Yiqiu quickly turned back, her steps light and fast, running downstairs.
Upon returning to the first floor, she did not dare to use the main entrance. She chose to jump out of the window of a secluded public restroom and, not noticing anything unusual around, quickly hid into the night.
But when she rushed to the predetermined bushes, she didn’t see Brother Zhou’s figure. Recalling the tragic death of Tao Anyun, Xu Yiqiu knew that Brother Zhou’s fate was likely the sa. These two ghosts, male and female, were truly fierce, having already killed three of their people.
Without further hesitation, Xu Yiqiu gritted her teeth and, taking advantage of the dark night, took a shortcut toward the hospital building.
...
Inside the hospital, Yang Xiao was burning with anxiety upon learning that Captain Zhou and the others were unreachable, but he was helpless, only hoping that the three could turn misfortune into fortune.
No matter who, as long as one survives, it doesn’t matter if it’s Captain Zhou or not, just as long as the key is delivered in ti.
"Mr. Chu, your room is 322. The rope is ready, right on the windowsill, and there’s a flashlight under your bed." Mu Xiuzhu interrupted Yang Xiao’s thoughts and quickly said.
"The north corridor?" Yang Xiao’s mood grew heavier. His current location was on the east side, which ant he had to run a little further, adding a lot of uncontrollable risks to his task.
"Sorry, no window on the east corridor can be opened. I’ve tried them all," Mu Xiuzhu said regretfully.
Yang Xiao didn’t have ti to listen to his explanations. Now, he had almost adapted to this new body, took the flashlight from under the bed, took a few deep breaths to adjust, and opened the door, rushing toward the north corridor.
In the dim light, a doctor in a white coat stood at the entrance of the east corridor, tall and thin, completely different from Captain Zhou.
This person was holding the call button on the wall; it was Mu Xiuzhu, the one responsible for staying and responding tonight. Yang Xiao couldn’t see his face clearly either.
Almost imdiately, a life-threatening bell rang in his ears, and that female ghost appeared.
"The female ghost is here!" Mu Xiuzhu turned his face toward Yang Xiao and loudly warned in the next second, "It’s at the end of the corridor!"
Yang Xiao ran with all his might, but the death bell sounded closer and closer, unrelated to Yang Xiao’s speed but to the ghost’s eerie power.
Yang Xiao had felt it last ti, but this ti, the force was even stronger. When being chased directly by the ghost, it was as if he were magnetically attracted, unable to exert any strength, and his stamina was rapidly being drained.
If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to run through the north corridor. He would have to find another ward to hide, which was not only dangerous but would also significantly delay the progress of the mission, sothing Yang Xiao could not allow.
"Mu Xiuzhu, stop him for !!" Yang Xiao shouted into the call button, not waiting for a reply, he charged forward impulsively.
Before hiding the first ti, he must reach the east corridor. With each concealnt, the female ghost’s "scent" would beco more acute.
Being chosen by Captain Zhou and arranged to assist Yang Xiao, this Mu Xiuzhu was not an ordinary character. Without any hesitation, upon knowing Yang Xiao had run past him, he resolutely used his body to block the middle of the corridor, attracting the ghost’s attention.
ters.
ters.
ters.
At the mont of reaching the limit distance, Mu Xiuzhu shivered involuntarily, clearly feeling that he was targeted, the female ghost shifted her target, and Mu Xiuzhu as the new target had no intention of running because he couldn’t escape; he turned and rushed into a side ward, pounced toward the nearest bed, and brutally threw an elderly person wearing an oxygen mask at the incoming female ghost.
Taking advantage of the female ghost holding the old man, Mu Xiuzhu bolted, plunged into the break room, and locked the door behind him.
However, the old man only delayed for a few seconds. Soon, through the glass window on the door, Mu Xiuzhu saw the ghost charging out, heading into the east corridor.
"It’s coming for you!" Mu Xiuzhu warned Yang Xiao.
At this mont, the importance of stamina beca apparent. After having part of his stamina drained by the ghost, Yang Xiao couldn’t run fast. His steps were unsteady, his body wobbled, and in the ti Mu Xiuzhu risked his life to buy him, Yang Xiao couldn’t make it to room 322 in ti. In the nick of ti, he could only hide in a ward on the right.
Leaning against the wall, Yang Xiao panted heavily, realizing this body was too weak. If his true self were here, he might already have reached the first floor.
Yang Xiao quickly used the flashlight to scan the ward. It was a two-person ward, with two beds, but only one was occupied.
It was a young man with a gaunt face, looking like he was addicted to opium, with sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and heavy dark circles.
There were no cabinets here either. Yang Xiao approached, trying to find a hiding place nearby, but the young man seed very afraid of him, sitting up and curling his body, not daring to look him in the face and avoiding eye contact, his gaze desperately lowered, only daring to look at Yang Xiao’s feet.
"How are you?" Mu Xiuzhu’s urgent voice ca from the call button.
"Couldn’t make it; I hid in a ward on the right," Yang Xiao replied, grabbing the call button, "There’s only one patient here. I’m looking for a hiding spot."
"One patient?" Mu Xiuzhu was confused, "There aren’t any single rooms nearby; there are at least two people in each."
