Chapter 22 - Abandoned Hospital (6) (2/2)
Cheng Zhi Chu’s face went ghostly pale. He directed his flashlight over and saw the blood stains twisting and curving across the ceiling and then going past a door.
On the upper right corner of the door was a sign with the words. “Men’s Bathroom”.
You mum. What the hell is this? Is it still in the bathroom………?
Cheng Zhi Chu was sweating buckets and he could feel his legs trembling. Da Gao and the others also noticed the blood stains on the ceiling and their expressions also changed.
“As you all can see, it may be dangerous after we enter. Everyone should always be on alert and don’t venture out too far.”
Da Gao filled his gun with bullets with an extremely dignified look: “Have your weapons ready.”
Meng Xin hesitated and then pulled out a card and said: “This card can activate a protective shield to avoid deadly attacks. Its effect lasts five minutes and it has a range of 3 metres so it can accommodate us all.”
This kind of protective card has always been very rare and would be very useful even if you’re in a more difficult instance, but Meng Xin was willing to take it out and share it. Everyone present felt a little moved.
Cheng Zhi Chu thought about it and raised his hand with the ring on it and spoke up.
“My ring will let me know if there are ghosts or monsters around. The range is 5 metres so if everyone is close enough, we can wait until the ring heats up and then use the card. Like this we can avoid wasting the card.”
At the same time, he took out Joshua’s necklace and wore it on his neck. He didn’t have any weapons and the only thing that could protect him was this cursed item. Despite there being lots of conditions associated with the use of the necklace, it was still better than nothing.
Ji Yun Xiao and Meng Ke also brought out their weapons. Only Bai Yi didn’t do anything and just stood there empty-handed. Da Gao glanced at him and saw that his expression seemed calm and indifferent, so he didn’t say anything. He just told him to be careful before vigilantly walking into the bathroom.
The inside of the bathroom wasn’t very big, but it emanated a bad smell along with the smell of blood. The walls and floor were splattered with old blood stains and web-like cracks spread across the mirrors. Sinks and urinals were shattered and covered in filth and the door panels to the separate stalls were also dismantled, smashed up and thrown to the ground revealing the squat toilet inside.
These traces were both disgusting and terrifying. Cheng Zhi Chu instantly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. In addition, this place gave him a bad feeling, so he just wanted to hurry and leave.
And so, Cheng Zhi Chu immediately launched his clue prompt skill hoping that they could find the key and leave the place as soon as possible.
However, after launching his skill Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes suddenly widened and he felt his heart stop. Not only him, Meng Xin also showed a surprised expression. She subconsciously looked over at Cheng Zhi Chu.
“I……I didn’t see any lights……” Meng Xin said nervously, “What about you?”
“I haven’t either.” Cheng Zhi Chu’s expression changed slightly. “Did we come to the wrong place?”
“But the note says that it’s here. How can it be wrong?”
Meng Xin bit onto her lower lip: “Could it be that we can’t use the skill to find the key and must look for it ourselves?”
Cheng Zhi Chu felt his scalp go numb. This was the situation that he didn’t want to come across. Fortunately the bathroom isn’t very big so if everyone searched, they would soon find it but……..
His line of sight fell involuntarily at the dark hole inside the squat toilet.
If the key fell in there, how were they supposed to find it?
“We also have to consider another scenario.”
Bai Yi fell silent for a moment and then said: “If we don’t find the key even after searching around, it might’ve already been taken away.”
His eyes travelled over the blood trails on the ceiling and his voice became more and more low.
“By who or by what?”
Hearing his words, Cheng Zhi Chu could feel his hair standing up and his heart pounding loudly in his chest. At this moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his finger. It got hotter and hotter to the point that it started to hurt.
“Gurgle!”
“Gurgle……Gugugugu………..”
A creepy and hair-rising strange sound resonated from all directions. Without even needing Cheng Zhi Chu saying anything, everyone immediately understood that something terrible was approaching them at a very fast rate.
“Hurry and gather up. Meng Xin get ready to activate the card at any time!”
Da Gao yelled out and fired a few shots blindly in the direction of the sound. It didn’t appear to do anything to it and just continued to approach them.
Everyone quickly gathered up and Meng Xin held onto her card tightly with her palms covered with sweat. Because the cards effectiveness is very short, they must wait until the most critical moment to activate it.
Because he is probably the one with the most experience here, she looked over at Da Gao but when she looked over, she saw that Da Gao’s expression didn’t seem quite right. He continued to stare at a corner of the bathroom with a look of disbelief.
“Boss!!”
As if he had seen something horrifying, Da Gao immediately rushed out. Because this action of his was too sudden, Cheng Zhi Chu and the others weren’t able to respond in time and could only watch him rush over to the squat toilet and reach his hand out.
“Slap.”
From within the dark pipe in the squat toilet, a black hand suddenly reached out and grabbed onto Da Gao’s hand.
The dry hand then forcefully pulled Da Gao down onto the floor. With a “bang”, his head smashed heavily onto the ground instantly spewing out a large amount of blood.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
That hand stretched longer and longer and, as if it was cracking open an egg, it repeatedly slammed Da Gao’s head forcefully onto the ground until blood and brain matter poured out. It then proceeded to drag his smashed head and push it into the squat toilet.
“Flush………”
Pungent water rushed out of the dark hole. Like a flushing toilet, it flushed down Da Gao’s smashed up blood, flesh and bones. From inside, the sound of swallowing could be heard.
…….
<The nurses liked you very much and would tell you a lot of interesting things. By chance, they mentioned some ghost stories circulating around the hospital…..>
<For example, the red clothed female corpse in the mortuary, the invisible ninth floor of the inpatient department and…….>
<The man-eating monster in the sewer.>

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 22)
(Continuation from Part 19)
I watched Zhi Chi get taken away in his parents’ arms. He was both sleepy and hungry, and was still frightened so when he was held in his fathers’ arms, his small body curled up and he very quickly fell asleep.
But even in the arms of his closest relatives, he slept very uncomfortably. Clutching tightly onto his fathers’ clothes, he mumbled fearfully in his dreams and even shed tears.
Again, he cried.
……..
At that time, I only had one thought in my mind——–
I must kill that man that brought Zhi Chu here and torture him to death. I shall return him all the pain and despair that Zhi Chu had suffered a thousand times over.
Perhaps at that moment I was already abnormal.
