Being hugged from behind, Gu Xizhou was visibly shocked. He lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Gu Xizhou asked that question, the arm that hugged Gu Xizhou tightened. He said in a low voice, "I just want to hug you. Also, I know what the death condition is."
Gu Xizhou was startled. He asked in a hurry, "What is it?"
Fang Zhi, who was in the guardroom, gripped the mirror that he had obtained in the first world. He was still quite nervous after being separated from Gu Xizhou.
After Gu Xizhou left, there was a strange banging sound in the corridor. It sounded like something was hopping down the corridor. Initially, the sound was very far away, but it slowly got closer.
Through the gap in the door, he could see a shadow. Fang Zhi gripped his fists tightly. However, after experiencing so many mission worlds with Gu Xizhou, he knew that as long as he did not break the rules, the ghosts could not kill him. Therefore, what he needed to do now was wait and see. If he really met the death condition, he could temporarily hide inside the mirror.
Dong dong dong.
Something was knocking on the door.
"Is there anyone in the guardroom?" A clear female voice asked from outside.
Fang Zhi did not speak. He waited for a moment before the door was suddenly pushed open by an external force.
The woman who entered opened her mouth wide, revealing a row of jagged teeth. She gave him an evil smile. The woman stood before Fang Zhi and slowly approached him. Once she appeared, the voices of different men and women came from all around.
"Fang Yuan, come, come, let's go together. Death will be the end of us."
"Fang Yuan, come quickly. If you die, you won't have to enter the mission world anymore. There's no need to be afraid."
"Fang Yuan —"
When Fang Zhi heard the familiar voices, a chill ran down his spine. These voices belonged to the people from Apartment 2! He had just spoken to these people during the day!
They …
Fang Zhi's heart squeezed. A chill rose from the bottom of his feet. His companions should be dead already.
The woman's jagged teeth were dripping with blood. She slowly approached Fang Zhi. Her pale face was almost plastered to Fang Zhi's body. The smell of blood surrounded Fang Zhi's nostrils.
"Fang Yuan, come quickly, we're waiting for you." The woman did not speak, but the voices around him did not stop.
Fang Zhi swallowed. His body was shaking, but he stood where he was and did not make a sound. Ever since the woman walked in, he had been thinking about what he should do.
If Gu Ge or Si Ge were here, what would they do?
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
He didn't do anything today, and this thing didn't attack him immediately. This meant that he didn't break the rules. As long as he didn't break the rules, this thing wouldn't kill him.
Yes, as long as he did not fulfill the death condition, the thing would not be able to do anything to him.
Inside the office, the man and the ghost faced each other in silence. There was a trace of confusion on the ghost's purplish face like it was wondering why this man was standing there instead of running away. Its empty eyes were so dark that its pupils could not be seen.
The female ghost stood there and stared at Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi's heart raced. The female ghost suddenly stuck her face close to Fang Zhi's face. The icy touch touched his face. It was not a bloody face that was stuck to his face but a block of ice.
She was trying to scare him!
Fang Zhi resisted the urge to run and sat back down on the chair. He allowed the thing to stand beside him. Even though the thing's eyes were dark and empty, Fang Zhi knew that it was looking at him.
He sat there like that. The thing did not kill him. Fang Zhi sighed deeply. Looks like he was right.
There were too many familiar voices coming from the female ghost. Fang Zhi even suspected that everyone in Apartment 2 was dead.
What was the death condition?
Fang Zhi frowned and sat where he was. He ignored the female ghost in front of him and continued to watch the night.
The bloody teeth were a bit scary. Fang Zhi felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head silently and pretended not to see anything.
Gu Ge, come back quickly. Sob, sob, sob, I'm scared!
Fang Zhi prayed in his heart. At that moment, a bell rang in the on-call room. It was the patient in Room 305 looking for the doctor on duty.
F * ck, of all times, it had to be now.
Fang Zhi was speechless. Should he go or not? His current identity was the hospital's on-call staff. If a patient rang the bell, he had the duty and responsibility to go, but the problem was that there was a ghost standing beside him.
"Ding ding —"
"Ding —"
The bell rang for the third time. Fang Zhi took a deep breath, stood up, took his notebook, and left the on-call room.
Da da da.
Da da da.
The footsteps behind him followed. Fang Zhi stopped every three steps. The footsteps behind him also stopped every three steps. Fang Zhi took out his phone and pointed it behind him. The female ghost was almost sticking to him, less than half a meter away.
F * ck, this ghost is following me! Fang Zhi was so angry that he wanted to cry.
Fang Zhi walked to the door of Room 305. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Room 305 was dark. Fang Zhi turned on the light in the room based on his memory.
After Fang Zhi walked in, the female ghost did not follow him. Instead, she stood outside the door and narrowed her eyes, staring into the room.
"Doctor, you're finally here!" Grandma Song jumped off the bed and hugged Fang Zhi's hand.
"Grandma Song, don't panic. What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "Fang Zhi asked with concern.
"No." Grandma Song shook her head.
Fang Zhi was very patient. He asked again, "Then what's wrong?"
Grandma Song pulled Fang Zhi's hand and mysteriously led Fang Zhi to the side. She said, "I think there's someone in my room!"
"Someone?" Fang Zhi was stunned. He looked around the room. It was very small. There was only one bed and a cupboard at the head of the bed. Other than that, there was a television and an air conditioner hanging on the wall. There was nothing in the bathroom, so there was no way anyone could be hiding there.
Fang Zhi looked around the room subconsciously. He swallowed his saliva and finally his eyes fell on the bottom of the bed. Could it be under the bed?
Fang Zhi knew the plot of that kind of horror movie. He took a deep breath and held the mirror in his hand. If there was a problem, he would jump into the mirror immediately. However, when he poked his head out to look, there was nothing under the bed.
"Grandma Song, I've looked around. There's no one in your room." Fang Zhi comforted Grandma Song and glanced at the female ghost standing at the door.
Grandma Song also looked around the room. "But there was someone in there just now!"
Since this was a supernatural mission world, every NPC's words could be the key to solving the puzzle. Fang Zhi did not answer immediately. "Why do you think there's someone in the room? Is there anything strange? "
"Yes, just now when I was sleeping, the blanket fell off the bed. In a daze, I felt cold. I wanted to pick up the blanket, but for some reason, someone picked it up and covered me with it."
"Someone covered you with the blanket, so you think there's someone in the room?"
"Yes!"
Fang Zhi took out his notebook and wrote down Grandma Song's words. Then he patted Grandma Song's shoulder and comforted her. "But we can't find him now. Grandma Song, look, the person in the room covered you with the blanket. Doesn't that mean he's not a bad person?"
Grandma Song thought about it and nodded in agreement with Fang Zhi's words. "He covered me with the blanket, so he can't be a bad person."
"If he's not a bad person, then there's nothing to be afraid of. Grandma Song, go back to sleep. We'll ask the people in the hospital to help you find him tomorrow, okay?" Fang Zhi said to Grandma Song as if he was comforting a child.
Grandma Song squeezed her hands together and thought about it seriously. "Okay, thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome."
Under Fang Zhi's gaze, Grandma Song lay back on the bed. Fang Zhi helped Grandma Song adjust the blanket.
Gu Ge said that everyone in this world was real. Fang Zhi sympathized with Grandma Song, so he could not help but be nicer to this old lady.
After adjusting the blanket, Fang Zhi was about to leave when Grandma Song said to him, "Thank you, doctor."
Fang Zhi said, "You're welcome. Goodnight, Grandma Song."
Grandma Song lay on the bed with the blanket wrapped around her. The female ghost at the door stood there in a daze. Fang Zhi was about to leave when he suddenly saw a black shadow rush to the door. The black shadow punched the female ghost directly!
The owner of the black shadow turned to look at him with a shocked expression.
Fang Zhi pointed at the female ghost that was pressed to the ground by Gu Ge. His face was filled with confusion. "Gu Ge, what are you doing?"
Gu Ge frowned. When he saw that Fang Zhi was unharmed, he awkwardly let go of the female ghost on the ground. "I thought something happened to you …"
The female ghost that was slapped in the face by Gu Ge was speechless.
Fang Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I didn't trigger the death condition. It doesn't seem to be able to kill people. It just kept following me."
Just now, Gu Ge was being carried by Si Yu. However, because he was worried about Fang Zhi, he hurriedly came down from upstairs. When he reached the duty room, he was shocked when he didn't see Fang Zhi.
Gu Ge nodded and asked why Fang Zhi was in Room 305. Fang Zhi told him what happened just now. Gu Ge thought about it and opened the door of Room 305. He said a few words to Grandma Song. After confirming that there was no sound of chains moving around Grandma Song and that there was no door on her, he left in disappointment.
"Gu Ge, did you hear the voices on this female ghost?" Fang Zhi lowered his voice and asked Gu Ge.
Gu Ge nodded. "I heard it. It was the voices of the people in Room 2."
"There are 11 different voices on this thing. The people in that building are all dead." Gu Xizhou listened carefully. Two people had died yesterday, and there were nine people in Block 2. That was a total of eleven voices.
Fang Zhi thought about it and said, "Gu Ge, I think it has something to do with our work. It seems like as long as we complete our work seriously, it won't kill people. When it came to the duty room earlier, I had a feeling that it was trying to scare me away."
Gu Ge patted Fang Zhi's shoulder to encourage him. Actually, Fang Zhi was right.
Si Yu had already analyzed the situation for him and was certain that the people in Room 2 would die tonight. However, when he came down, he heard the voices of the people in Room 2 coming from this female ghost.
"Your analysis is similar to Si Yu's. As long as we satisfy the patient's request, this thing won't attack us. On the other hand, if we reject the patient's request, it will trigger the rule of death."
After Gu Ge said that, Fang Zhi was stunned. He seemed to understand why the people in Room 2 were attacked by it. It tied the patients to the bed. In a way, they had rejected the patients' request from the beginning. The patients could not even make a request or press the bell for help.
Two people and one ghost were in the same duty room. Initially, Fang Zhi was a bit nervous, but with Gu Ge around, he fell asleep without realizing it.
Fang Zhi was woken up by the nurse who came to take over his shift. He rubbed his eyes groggily before leaving the on-call room with Gu Xizhou.
Once they left the duty room, the people in Room 1 met up one after another. Since the female ghost had been on the third floor for the rest of the night, the four people on the first and second floors were fine. They appeared in front of Gu Ge's group in one piece.
A few of them had dark circles under their eyes and kept yawning with their hands.
One of them frowned and looked at the time. "All seven of us are here, but why haven't the people in Room 2 come down yet? They're so slow! How much longer do we have to wait? "
"Them? There's no need to wait, "Si Yu said casually with his hands in his pockets.
"You … What do you mean?"
Si Yu ignored him and smiled. He turned to Gu Ge and said, "Gu Ge Ran, let's go to the canteen. I'm hungry."
