“Screams coming out from the hospital? But the iron gate is locked, and the surrounding windows are all installed with anti-theft webbing. People from the outside would not have been able to gain entry.” The doctor was afraid that Chen Ge might commit to some crazy decision, so he stepped forth to say, “Yin energy is often gathered in locations like hospitals. After all, it is the location where death is an everyday thing. I suggest we stay away from it.”

“You have a point.” Seeing the hospital, Chen Ge was reminded of the four-star hospital-themed scenario in Eastern Jiujiang, and from his previous experience, hospitals were indeed not lively places. “Then, we’ll come back later. We’ll go to other places first. Actually, I’m quite interested in that smiling dog.”

“That doesn’t mean that we should go there! Did you hear what I said earlier? Do you think I was joking? You have no idea what I’ve been through!” The drunkard struggled and, in the process, pushed Chen Ge away. “Please listen to me. Do not go there. When you come across that human-faced dog, it’ll be too late for regrets!”

“Is the human-faced dog a dog or a human? Can you give me a more detailed description about his appearance?”

It was obvious that Chen Ge was not grasping the message that the drunkard was trying to impart, and this caused the drunkard to stomp the ground angrily. “Let’s just return to the bus. It’s not safe here. Every building here is hiding a ghost. I’m not lying to you!”

“I know you’re not lying.” Chen Ge was about to say something else when there was a crisp sound interrupting his words. It sounded like someone had dropped something onto the ground next to them.

“The people inside the hospital have discovered us!” The drunkard jumped up from the ground immediately, and his chest rose violently—his reaction was perfectly that of a frightened house cat. “We need to leave this place immediately!”

“Calm down, the closer we are to danger, the more we need to stave off the panic.” Chen Ge walked toward the origin of the sound. The doctor followed closely behind him. The drunkard did not have the courage to stay there alone, so he could only follow with an unwilling expression on his face. Walking through the fog, Chen Ge ended up at the other side of the hospital, and he saw a pair of bloodied scissors lying on the ground.

“Isn’t this that crazed man’s weapon? Why’s it here?” Chen Ge looked up the building with Yin Yang Vision. The wooden boards for one of the windows on the third floor were shaking. “Is he hiding inside the hospital? But why would he toss out the scissors? Isn’t this his weapon? Even if it’s to ask for help, wouldn’t it make more sense to toss out something else?”

Chen Ge was confused by Scissors’ action. He kept the scissors for himself and returned to the front door of the hospital.

“Let’s go before it is too late. I don’t want to get stuck here.” The drunkard squeezed next to the door. “Earlier, I forgot to tell you about another ghost that I saw. Even the streets here aren’t safe. When you cross a junction, there will be a ghost waving at you. He’ll keep on following you, as he adopts your facial feature. When he appears, you’ll see how you look like when you’re dead.”

The drunkard tried his best to persuade Chen Ge to change his mind, but it did not affect the latter at all as he tried to wiggle the iron gate of the hospital alone.

“What is he doing?” The drunkard touched the doctor’s arm.

“Perhaps he’s if to see whether the iron gate is sturdy enough to hold the ghost inside the hospital in,” the doctor guessed with a bitter smile. He also had trouble understanding what Chen Ge was doing.

“Wait, do you guys still think I’m rambling in a drunken haze? Do you think what I saw earlier was part of my drunken imagination?” The drunkard grabbed the doctor’s shoulders with both hands. “I’m not lying to you, I swear! Please trust me! I’m trying to save you here! Every building here is home to at least one ghost!”

His emotion was running wild. He turned toward Chen Ge and tried to forcibly lead the man away. “Stay away from that door! You’ll get pulled in if you get too close!”

The drunkard had just finished when he saw the sunny looking young man take out a scary-looking large hammer from his backpack. The four eyes met, and the drunkard’s eyelids twitched.

“You can tell me the rest after we get into this place.” Chen Ge raised the hammer high and slammed it down on the lock.

Bang!

Due to the oppressive presence of the blood fog, the sound did not echo far into the distance. Knocking at the same spot three times, Chen Ge finally got the lock to break. “Stick close to me. If you wander too far, I might not be able to guarantee your safety.”

When the doctor heard Chen Ge say that, he started to follow without much hesitation.

“Hey! What’s going on? Why are you carrying a hammer with you when you’re just going to ride on a bus?” The drunkard held the doctor back by his shoulders. “Have you two been to this place in the past?”

“He used to make props for a theme park, so isn’t it perfectly normal for him to carry a hammer on him?” The doctor rattled off the same excuse that Chen Ge had given him earlier to the drunkard.

“A prop maker?” When the drunkard was trying to tie up the relationship between a hammer and a theme park, Chen Ge and the doctor had already entered the hospital. “Hey, wait for me!”

Standing on the first floor, Chen Ge activated the recorder, held both bags in one hand, and carried Doctor Skull Cracker’s hammer in the other. The sharp edge of the hammer elicited a creepy sound as it ground against the hospital floor. Chen Ge narrowed his eyes to take a better look as he stared down the corridor on the left.

“Did you discover anything?” The doctor seemed to know it was very dangerous there and stuck close to Chen Ge.

“A few visitors have recently been to this hospital.” Chen Ge pointed at the footprints on the ground. “Due to the heavy rain from earlier, most of the passengers on our bus were drenched. So, these footprints must have been left behind by them. Then, you take a closer look at the size and shape of these footprints. Four large ones and one small one. So, they should belong to the family of three and the madman who called himself Scissors.”

Chen Ge’s observation was precise and accurate. “All the footprints pointed to the left side, so they must have entered the left corridor.”

“Jesus Christ! You sure have amazing eyesight! How can you see these things so clearly even though it’s practically pitch black in here?” The drunkard had a renewed admiration toward Chen Ge.

“Follow me.” Chen Ge entered the left corridor. He placed the white cat on his shoulder and took out his mobile to activate the flashlight function. “There are sickrooms lining both sides of the corridor. The doors are left ajar, so I suspect that something might come out from them at any moment. Be cautious of everything.”

“Big brother, please don’t scare me.”

“I’m not trying to scare you; I’m just telling you the truth.” Chen Ge stooped lower. “Come and take a look at these footprints. At the start of the corridor, they were evenly spaced, but after crossing the third and fourth sickroom, the footsteps started to overlap and randomize. This means that something unexpected happened to them when they were passing the third and fourth sickroom. They probably stopped here for a while.”

“In other words, you’re trying to say that there might be something inside the third or fourth sickroom?” The doctor grasped Chen Ge’s intention instantly.

“There’s a great possibility of that, but that does not preclude other possibilities. Just be more careful when you’re crossing these two sickrooms.” Chen Ge looked at the two doors that had been left half-ajar. Through the dark gap, it felt like some scary monsters would poke their head out at any time.
