Li Xianyu turned his head violently. Behind him was empty except for a few rows of broken chairs.
"Gone." Xiaoyou's face tightened. She was so scared that her lips had turned white. "Just now, behind you were all people … No, not people, not people."
As she spoke, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, as though she was in the middle of winter.
"Speak properly. What did you see?" Li Xianyu pressed her hand that was still pulling his arm. Feeling the man's warm palm, Xiaoyou's heart calmed down.
"That row of chairs is filled with ghosts. Just now, they were wearing the patient's garb, and they were staring at us. When you turned around, they disappeared. Let's go, let's get out of here. "
Hearing her words, Li Xianyu imagined the scene just now. Behind him, there were a few rows of broken chairs. On them, there were ghosts wearing hospital gowns. They stared at him gloomily. Their eyes were white and had no pupils. Their faces were lifeless. They might even be rotten and full of maggots.
He slowly shuddered. Damn, the greatest fear of humans was their imagination.
He was not afraid of wraiths, but he was frightened by his own imagination.
Li Xianyu frowned. He tapped his forehead a few times and opened his spirit eye. The dark and quiet waiting hall was still the same. There were no wraiths, not even resentment.
This situation was within his expectations, but he did not understand why. When he asked Great-grandmother, Great-grandmother only frowned and pondered. She must have been confused.
Wraiths without resentment, wraiths that his spirit eye could not capture, he had never met before. The mission was already beyond his scope. Luckily, Li Xianyu was experienced. He was slightly flustered, but he was able to calm down.
Xiaoyou was a real person, which meant that Great-grandmother was also real. Their meeting was not an illusion, but they definitely did not leave the hospital building. Everyone was hallucinating.
What kind of illusion could affect Cui Hua and Great-grandmother?
"Let's go and see if we can get out of here," Li Xianyu said.
Xiaoyou grabbed his hand tightly. Her whole body was tense. She did not dare to turn around and walked quickly. The two of them entered the corridor and walked down the stairs. The waiting hall they were in was on the fifth floor. Li Xianyu and Xiaoyou had never been to the fifth floor before.
The corridor was quiet, echoing with the sound of their footsteps. In particular, the sound of Xiaoyou's low-heeled shoes was especially clear in the corridor. There were even echoes. Her footsteps could be heard both upstairs and downstairs.
As she walked, Xiaoyou suddenly felt that something was wrong. She heard the footsteps of a third person.
"There seems to be someone following us from behind. Did you hear the sound of footsteps?" Xiaoyou asked in a trembling voice.
"I heard it a long time ago. Don't look back. Pretend you don't know it exists," Li Xianyu said in a low voice.
She nodded slightly and buried her head even lower. She hugged Li Xianyu's right arm tightly, wishing she could hide her head in his chest.
The footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer. In the end, they seemed to be right behind them.
Xiaoyou also heard it. She felt that the thing behind her was right behind her. At this moment, her whole body suddenly trembled and she let out two whimpers.
"It's right behind me!" Xiaoyou's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"I felt it," Li Xianyu said.
"Then do you know that it pinched my butt?"
"Oh, that's because I pinched it."
"…" Xiaoyou opened her eyes wide in disbelief and raised her palm-sized face.
Are you a devil? You still want to take advantage of me at this time?
"Just treat it as a protection fee. If you are unhappy, you can leave by yourself. We can go our separate ways." Li Xianyu turned his head and took a glance. He retracted his gaze and shrugged his shoulders.
"What did you see?" Xiaoyou asked.
"A woman walking backwards," Li Xianyu replied.
"Walking backwards?"
"Yes, because her face is on the back of her head."
"…" Xiaoyou slowly shivered. She hugged Li Xianyu's arm even tighter.
Now, even if I asked to have sex with her, she wouldn't dare to reject me. Li Xianyu suddenly had a deep and clear understanding of what it meant to take advantage of someone when they were down.
"Let me tell you again. When we played the Pen Spirit game, the bloody words that appeared on the white paper weren't written by me. Do you believe me?" Li Xianyu pinched her butt again.
Xiaoyou nodded. She didn't want to speak.
"We really did summon the Pen Spirit, but it wasn't just one Pen Spirit. It was a group of wraiths that were summoned by us. If you didn't want to play the Pen Spirit game, we wouldn't be in this situation now. "Li Xianyu pushed the blame to the beautiful streamer.
Of course, he wouldn't admit to pushing the blame. He felt that he had found the truth. It was definitely not the fault of a troublemaker. The Pen Spirit game might have activated a certain existence or a certain group.
They didn't summon one Pen Spirit, but a group of them.
As for why there were so many wraiths, he couldn't figure it out. However, he felt that this could be the biggest secret of this hospital.
The two of them walked for more than ten minutes. The footsteps behind them followed for more than ten minutes. However, they still hadn't reached the first floor. The stairs seemed to have no end. Not only was there no first floor, but after entering the staircase from the fifth floor, they didn't see any other floor exits.
They kept going down, down, down, as if they were heading to hell.
The female ghost behind him was like a Ghost Messenger, pressing down the two dead souls as they walked towards hell.
"There's no need to walk anymore. We won't reach the end." Li Xianyu stopped and sighed.
"Then what should we do?" Xiaoyou asked. She was completely out of ideas. Li Xianyu was her pillar of support.
"Let's deal with the things behind us first." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianyu pressed the back of Xiaoyou's head and pressed her face into his chest. At the same time, he reached out with his left hand and activated his Qi and blood. He activated the Thunder Technique and hit the female ghost behind him.
With Li Xianyu's current ability, he didn't need to learn any special exorcism spells. He could just activate his Qi and blood to turn the wraiths into ashes. Furthermore, he was using the orthodox Taoist Thunder Technique.
The female ghost didn't seem to have any power to resist. Before Li Xianyu's palm could touch her, she twisted like water, then collapsed and disappeared completely.
There was no black smoke, no screams. No! She wasn't a wraiths.
"You said that in the waiting hall, you saw a row of wraiths sitting behind me. There were a lot of wraiths, right?"
Xiaoyou didn't understand why he was asking this. She nodded. "A lot of wraiths. They were full of wraiths."
Full of wraiths?
The bloody words on the white paper, the reflection of the ghost above Xiaoyou's head on the wall, the woman in white in the corridor, and the wraiths riding on the actors' necks.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiaoyou's words interrupted his train of thought. He lowered his head. The little beauty lifted her face in his arms, her eyes pitiful.
"The female ghost at the back has left," he said.
Xiaoyou turned back to take a look, trembling with fear. Indeed, there was no scary figure. She heaved a sigh of relief.
"There's no need to continue walking. We won't be able to get out." Li Xianyu sat down on the steps and patted the spot beside him, indicating for Xiaoyou to sit beside him.
The pretty streamer was very obedient. She did whatever he said. She followed his words and sat down beside him. She still needed to hug his arms to feel safe.
"Have you heard of ghosts hitting the wall? That's what we encountered. We won't be able to get out. There's no need to waste energy. " Li Xianyu lit a cigarette. The weak light from the lighter illuminated the pretty streamer's obedient look.
She should be around 25 years old. Her legs were very long. Women who dared to wear slim-fit cotton pants had long legs and perky hips. Otherwise, they would be making a fool out of themselves. Her face was not bad either. She had light makeup on. Perhaps this was an outdoor supernatural live broadcast. She didn't wear contact lenses, nor did she have the 18-meter fake eyelashes that Li Xianyu hated.
Li Xianyu would have given a beauty like this eight points in the past. Now, he would probably give her around seven points. Li Xianyu had slept with a girl as beautiful as her. She was the girl who had cost him a month's worth of living expenses.
"I don't think your singing is good. You don't like to play games either," Li Xianyu asked casually.
Xiaoyou looked at him in surprise, as if he had hit the nail on the head.
"That's not strange. With your looks, you actually want to follow the trend of filming a supernatural live broadcast. You're not a supernatural enthusiast either. That means you don't have any talent in other areas." Li Xianyu exhaled. "I've watched live broadcasts before. The first-rate female streamers sing, the second-rate female streamers play games, and the third-rate and fourth-rate streamers just sit there and chat like idiots. They can talk nonsense all day. Watching their live broadcasts is a waste of life."
"I'm just an idiot," Xiaoyou said, feeling wronged.
She added, "Also, I go to the gym for a live broadcast and show off my figure."
Li Xianyu sneered, "Bullsh * t figure. What's there to show off about Xiaolongbao?"
Xiaoyou felt even more wronged. "I didn't know there were really ghosts here. That streamer didn't encounter any ghosts last time. Why did I encounter one? I'm timid. I've been afraid of the dark and ghosts since I was young. Boohoo, I'm scared to death. Will I die here? I'm so scared. Don't leave me behind. "
She lowered her head and started to cry. Her tears were dripping down.
"Take a puff." Li Xianyu passed the cigarette to her. The beautiful streamer raised her teary eyes.
"Smoking can help you relax," Li Xianyu said, trying to entice her.
She took the cigarette and took a puff. She inhaled too hard and choked. She started coughing violently. Her throat was burning and she started to cry again.
Li Xianyu laughed heartily. "You don't know how to smoke?"
Xiaoyou was not convinced. She took another puff. However, she did not learn to be smart this time. She did not swallow it. She held it in her mouth and spat it out. She looked at Li Xianyu proudly.
She held the cigarette but did not smoke it. She did not return it to Li Xianyu either. She rested her head on his shoulder, but Li Xianyu pushed her away. She bit her lip in disappointment. "What should we do next?"
"Wait," Li Xianyu said.
Great-grandmother had never disappointed him. He had already seen through the truth. He believed that Great-grandmother would also discover the secret of this hospital. Sooner or later, she would come to save him.
"The cultivation of mental strength is more dependent on accumulation than Qi cultivation. With the Slime, I can improve my Qi cultivation by leaps and bounds, but my mental strength cannot. This is my shortcoming, but there is no quick fix. "Li Xianyu reflected on his own weakness.
Apart from those who had awakened their mental strength, those experts with strong willpower had all gone through trials and tribulations to hone their willpower. Buddhist meditation and Daoist enlightenment were both methods to cultivate mental strength. However, they were all about sharpening one's sword for ten years.
"Save me, save me."
In the darkness, a voice suddenly sounded.
Li Xianyu was shocked. He stood up abruptly and looked around. "Did you hear the voice?"
Xiaoyou raised her head. Her face was blank. "What voice?"
I didn't hear it?!
Am I the only one who heard it?
He did not panic. He took the initiative to open his spiritual eye and scanned every corner of the corridor. He did not want to miss out on any clues.
"Save me, save me. I beg you, please save me."
It was a girl's voice. She sounded delicate and pitiful. She sounded like a helpless and pitiful kitten.
"Did you hear it?" Li Xianyu asked again. However, Xiaoyou still shook her head blankly.
"Save me, save me."
