“Tails?” Hu Ya walked at the front of the team. She yelled into the half-open steel door, but there was no reply. “I’ll go take a look.”

The light on the door gave off a weak, yellowish glow. Hu Ya moved forward alone. She leaned against the wall and slowly moved toward the door. The door was covered in rust, and something that looked like blood was flowing down it. “What is this room used for?”

Hu Ya moved her feet to nudge forward one more step. She leaned her body forward and adjusted her head to glance inside the room without touching the door. However, before she got a close look, a drop of liquid fell from the ceiling and hit the back of her hand. It was sticky, kind of like blood, but it was mixed with something else that gave off a strange stench.

“It’s leaking?” She slowly raised her head when the lights around them dimmed, and the steel door vibrated.

“Be careful!” Yang Chen shouted, and the lights in the corridor started to go off again. They went off very fast like a hungry beast dashing at them!

Without giving them a chance to prepare, darkness swallowed everything.

“Squat down now! Stay where you are!” Yang Chen was agitated, but there was no better solution. When the lights went off last time, three people disappeared. How many will disappear this time?

The whole corridor was thrown into darkness, and it was so quiet that they could hear the breathing and beating hearts of the people next to them. Everyone was squatting on the floor, and nobody moved. In the dark, the wind picked up, and a blurry shadow could be seen teetering at the end of the corridor before disappearing. It felt like it had joined their ranks.

Time dragged on, and the heartbeat echoed in their ears. Combined with the creepy background music, the fear in their hearts was amplified.

Creak…

An ear-scratching sound came from Hu Ya’s direction. The door before her had been pushed open. “Who would open the door at a time like this?”

As the steel door opened, formalin filled up the air. A different sound now echoed in the corridor.

Tik tok, tik tok…

It was the sound of water dripping. It dropped from a high position and fell against the ground. The sound neared Hu Ya before stopping in front of her. In the dark, no one could see anything, but the dripping sound kept coming.

“The thing is just standing next to me.” Hu Ya’s palm was soaked with sweat as an indescribable pressure swallowed her. She gathered her courage and raised her hands to reach forward, but she touched nothing but air.

“It should be here; the sound came from here.” Hu Ya was certain, and her hands continued to reach forward.

Tik tok…

Another drop fell, and this time, it fell on her arm. “I couldn’t touch it, and it is moving and dripping. Could it be… that it’s above me?”

Her eyes had gotten used to the darkness. Hu Ya lifted her head and saw a humanoid shadow attached to the ceiling above her. It was leaking like it had just crawled out from a pond. Its four limbs were attached to the ceiling like a lizard, and its skull dangled downward. Its empty skull hung just above Hu Ya’s head like it was preparing to bite away her face!
