Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Escape

Complain?

Bai Yanliang certainly wouldn’t do something so meaningless.

He finally understood, without any illusions, after seeing the true face of the nurse, everything became clear to him.

There were two very common items that were missing from this hospital.

Bai Yanliang was very sure that those two things should have been there, they represented the path to survival!

This was definitely not a dream!

...

It was very quiet around.

Du Shangjing tiptoed back to the second floor, planning to stay in this terrifying place for seven days, he had no confidence in his heart.

In fact, he had already written a will long ago, once he disappeared, his mother would surely discover it while cleaning his room.

But... she should just think he ran away, right?

Like a coward, unable to bear her expectations, leaving home, disappearing from her sight.

That’s good, at least she wouldn’t be sad.

Du Shangjing was never a very optimistic person, he didn’t trust many people, Li Mu was almost the only one.

The two had already met in the real world and had a good relationship.

But ever since Li Mu returned from the last task, Du Shangjing had vaguely felt that Li Mu seemed to be hiding something from him.

Li Mu... could something have happened?

Du Shangjing planned to find Li Mu in reality after this task and discuss the changes in Fog Gathering and their future plans.

But all of this was based on the premise that he could survive this time.

Du Shangjing let out a breath of stale air.

The changes in Fog Gathering this time were too intense, even the difficulty of the task seemed to have suddenly risen a notch.

He... had no assurance of survival at all, the only thing he could do was give it his all.

Du Shangjing carefully avoided the scattered corpses, trying his best not to look at them.

Despite his efforts to search for possible clues, Du Shangjing still didn’t have any breakthroughs.

Not only that, but he also had to pay attention to the movements upstairs, quickly hiding before the sound of footsteps came down.

No... None...

No valuable clues at all.

Who exactly was this ghost? What abilities did it have? Du Shangjing knew nothing.

He helplessly raised his head, seeing the bloodstained walls.

Ironically, the slogans hanging there made this scene full of corpses even more sarcastic.

"Down-to-earth, diligent research, dedication, selfless devotion."

"Love for life, caring for health with patience."

The doctors and nurses probably never expected themselves to be harmed by a fierce ghost.

Du Shangjing sighed, just planning to leave when he inadvertently found that the transparent glass with the slogan seemed to have a blurry shadow?

He immediately became alert, carefully approaching the transparent glass, which was very different from a mirror.

Although it could cast a reflection in the shadow to some extent, it was so blurry that it was almost unrecognizable.

However, what almost suffocated Du Shangjing was.

As he approached the glass-like transparent window, a twisted and horrifying ghost face suddenly emerged on the glass!

Du Shangjing’s scalp tingled, he immediately turned his head to look behind him, but there... was nothing.

Du Shangjing forcibly suppressed his fear, turned his head again, and looked at the transparent glass.

It was looking at him!

It was staring intently at Du Shangjing!

A strong suffocating sensation gripped Du Shangjing’s throat like an iron hand, and then a pair of pale hands stretched out from the glass frame, dragging Du Shangjing in with a jerk.

The second floor returned to quietness, as if... nothing had happened.

...

In the narrow, dark corridor, Bai Yanliang, Su Jieyi, and Xu Zhifei were pressing on.

They had been walking for almost half an hour, and this damned corridor still hadn’t come to an end!

Su Jieyi had tried several times to persuade Bai Yanliang to turn back, but he ignored her.

Then she tried to persuade Xu Zhifei, only to find he was more indifferent than Bai Yanliang.

"You can leave by yourself."

That’s what Xu Zhifei said.

Leave by herself?

If Su Jieyi dared, she wouldn’t have to grit her teeth and follow them deeper into the corridor, would she?

Encountering these two weirdos, she could only blame her own bad luck.

Just like that, Su Jieyi continued to walk a bit further and couldn’t help but ask:

"Hey... don’t you guys feel that this corridor is getting narrower? The ceiling seems to be... lowering as well?"

Actually, she was the only one to notice the change.

If it weren’t for realizing earlier that the ceiling was lowering and the corridor narrowing, Bai Yanliang wouldn’t have kept going further.

After all, what the Madman kept muttering matched the current situation exactly.

Next, it would be impossible to stop, impossible to turn around, but you could hear breathing behind you.

When pressed down by the narrowing corridor onto the ground, you would reach the corridor’s end.

There was a door there.

And that door was the key.

Just then, a strange sound suddenly echoed from the front of the corridor.

"Hoo——"

Su Jieyi widened her eyes, about to speak, but was abruptly silenced by Xu Zhifei covering her mouth.

Xu Zhifei shook his head at her, then whispered with an extremely low voice: "It’s breathing."

Breathing?

Bai Yanliang was also judging, and upon confirming Xu Zhifei’s judgment matching his own, that the sound from the blackness ahead was indeed breathing, he immediately grabbed the two and turned to run!

"No, wrong, completely wrong!" Bai Yanliang explained hastily as they sprinted away: "The breathing should be behind us, not ahead!"

He finally understood what his persistent strange feeling had been.

He had missed a clue, a very important clue!

Being the only operating room within the entire corridor, he had carelessly overlooked it!

No, the previous judgment was wrong!

It’s not each time entering a space from another that a certain curse is triggered, entering into one of the seven-day cycles.

Even that supposed seven-day cycle was just a damned illusion!

This hospital merely existed in two worlds!

The trio sprinted forward, but the breathing sound from behind grew closer and closer!

Su Jieyi was almost in tears, her courage wasn’t vast to start with, otherwise, she wouldn’t have hesitated to drag Su Jiexian with her when Wuji Gate first opened.

Being pursued by an unknown creature from the darkness now, she felt her whole body trembling.

Why didn’t they listen to me... why not exit earlier!

Su Jieyi wanted to complain, but now she didn’t dare make any extra noise.

Her phone’s light flickered on and off as they ran, occasionally casting on the walls, where Su Jieyi would feel as if something was about to burst out.

Fortunately, the way back seemed to be faster than the way in?

Bai Yanliang quickly spotted the only door— the operating room!

"Get in!"

Bai Yanliang shouted.

However, Su Jieyi’s expression frantically shifted, she didn’t stop, but chose to rush straight toward the entrance!

She wanted to completely leave here, leave this terrifying corridor!
