Chapter 22: Abandoned Hospital (6)
"What"s wrong? What"s written in there? Why aren"t you guys saying anything?"
Meng Ke blinked a few times and asked. She didn"t understand what was going on.
She couldn"t understand the doctor"s handwriting and didn"t know what was written there. Ji Yun Xiao who was able to read the paper on the other hand fell silent after reading it and only looked at Cheng Zhi Chu while blushing slightly.
…….Xiao Xiao"s blushing face is so cute. She wanted to take a photo but she didn"t have her phone…..No, no, no. This isn"t the time to think about those things. She must hold back.
There was another point that was strange. Cheng Zhi Chu seems to also have the ability to read the file but after looking at it he just showed a very anguished expression, like something hard had hit him, and also fell silent. What on earth does it say…….?
"Ah…..could this be your medical record?"
Remembering Da Gao mentioning earlier that it seems to be a medical record, Meng Ke asked Cheng Zhi Chu curiously. The result of that question was Cheng Zhi Chu"s body stiffening and his cute face turning red with embarra.s.sment.
Oh, he"s pretty cute……..Meng Ke"s soft spot was poked at a little.
Cheng Zhi Chu remained silent for a while before bracing himself and nodding. He explained: "It is indeed my medical record. It was probably from six years ago when I was admitted to the hospital. The reason for it was…..moderate paranoia. Sometimes I would fantasize about something that doesn"t exist."
As he said this, he looked over to Ji Yun Xiao. With pleading eyes, he hoped that Ji Yun Xiao wouldn"t disclose the other content for the time being.
At present, things like mild nymphomania and mild intimacy obsession doesn"t seem necessary to be mentioned. As for things like the "issue of his s.e.xual orientation resulting in a disagreement with his family", it was complete bulls.h.i.t. He clearly has a good relationship with his family and his s.e.xual orientation is also very normal.
Faced with those pitiful puppy-like eyes, Ji Yun Xiao shyly looked away. He raised his hand to cover his red cheeks and just remained quiet, not saying anything.
Thank goodness……..
Seeing that he"s not speaking up, Cheng Zhi Chu quietly let out a sigh of relief and rejoiced in his heart. He was very grateful to Ji Yun Xiao"s thoughtfulness.
As for Ji Yun Xiao"s personal feelings towards his medical record, he couldn"t do anything about it. Anyway, he wouldn"t see him again after this and it was fine as long as he didn"t say anything that would cause Bai Yi"s misunderstanding.
Da Gao took in the two boy"s reactions. He was very familiar with his boss, Ji Yun Xiao, and he could tell that his boss"s reaction was not quite right. He looked over at Cheng Zhi Chu suspiciously. Just as he was about to say something, a sudden sound interrupted his thoughts.
"Creak……..clack…………"
Next to the cabinet where the doc.u.ments were stored, another door slowly opened and revealed a small gap.
Clearly no external force was applied yet it had automatically opened. The sound of the metal was loud of clear and particularly deafening in the silent conference room.
Da Gao vigilantly took a few steps back and pointed the gun at the cabinet door. Cheng Zhi Chu and the others also stared at the cabinet cautiously. When the door was completely open, a small black shadow was revealed. Again, it was a fluffy teddy bear.
Compared to the two previous ones, this one was even smaller than the small bear and was only the size of one handspan. Its furry body wasn"t not in the very least stained, and its cotton-filled limbs were plump and round. Its dark black eyes looked ahead reflecting the image of everyone standing before it in its eyes.
Cheng Zhi Chu looked at this bear and couldn"t help but feel creeped out. It was too new and looked like it had just been bought and placed here.
As for the bears eyes, it made him feel very strange. It looked like it had some focus and was staring at them, as if the next second it would blink and suddenly come alive………
"Shaaa………."
Suddenly, there was a soft sound of some friction. The little bear suddenly turned its head and its black beady eyes turned a few times before falling onto Cheng Zhi Chu.
Cheng Zhi Chu was shocked. He suddenly felt his back go cold and he exclaimed: "Bear! This bear is alive! It moved!"
"Moved?
Both Ji Yun Xiao and the two sisters showed a confused expression. Meng Ke shook her head and said: "But………it didn"t move. We didn"t see it moving."
Da Gao vigilantly moved closer and use the top of his handgun to gently touch the bear. After confirming he said: "This is just an ordinary teddy bear."
He thought about it and then added: "But every time a bear appears, there would always be one of us having a hallucination. This we can confirm. It was probably you having a hallucination again so you saw the bear moving."
"Is that so……..?
Cheng Zhi Chu glanced at the bear cautiously. He watched Da Gao take it out of the cabinet and store it in his bag. When it indeed didn"t show anything abnormal, he was able to reluctantly suppress the unease inside him.
"Let"s go find the key now."
Da Gao said this, and the others nodded before leaving the conference room.
Bai Yi walked at the end of the group and, when he stepped out the door, he suddenly turned his head and looked back at cabinet.
The cabinet that should be empty now still had a bear sitting quietly inside. Its black eyes glowed a little and its small figure loomed in the darkness.
Bai Yi laughed lightly.
"Drip, drip………"
When they walked down the corridor and heard the sound of water dripping, Meng Ke"s pretty face once again became a little pale.
In the hallucination earlier, she saw that the roof of the first floor was oozing a lot of water and that her sister had become a monster. Now that she once again heard the sound of water, she couldn"t help but think back that what had happened earlier and feel her heart squeeze in fright.
But fortunately, this time it wasn"t just herself that heard the sound of dripping water, the others heard it too. They subconsciously looked ahead towards the direction of the sound.
There was a faint smell in the air. It smelt like the bathroom, but it also seemed to be mixed with some other smell.
The place that they needed to investigate was the men"s bathroom, but this smell made them more alert. After all, this place has not been used for many years and there hasn"t been anyone living here so why would there still be this smell?
"Look………"
Meng Xin"s eyes moved to the ground and she suddenly froze for a moment. She pointed at a small stain and said: "That looks like………blood."
Cheng Zhi Chu also saw that stain. He used his flashlight to illuminate various areas around them and saw that there were similar stains like this on the walls too. When he got closer to carefully a.s.sess it, he could clearly tell that it was a dark, brownish-red colour. It was indeed old blood stains.
"Why would something like this be here…………"
Meng Ke whispered: "Was there a fight in the past? Angry families. .h.i.tting doctors and nurses? Or…….." Her voice turned anxious, "Something that isn"t done by a human?"
Cheng Zhi Chu felt his scalp go numb. There were blood stains everywhere here so even if it was a case of violence, it definitely would have involved the use of a murderous weapon. Moreover, in a place like this, the possibility of the latter option was even greater.
He was a little panicked and he looked at Bai Yi subconsciously because with Bai Yi around, he felt a little more at ease. As a result, he saw that Bai Yi was looking up at something.
What is Bai Yi looking at……….
He followed Bai Yi"s line of sight and suddenly, the hand holding the flashlight started to tremble.
Under the dim illumination, a long trail of blood stains appeared on the ceiling. Next to it were also both handprints and fingerprints. It looked as if a living person was dragged across the ceiling or something.
The twisted blood stains extended into the darkness and one of it extended into the direction of the source of the smell.
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 h.e.l.l 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 a.s.sociated 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.
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.

KK has something to say:
Hopefully I was able to make the descriptions sound gross+scary enough HAHA
