"So be it, it brings us closer to the truth," murmured Fang Xiu to himself. He had never intended to leave, but rather hoped to explore the Qing Shan Mental Hospital.
The two continued walking forward and soon discovered two large pools of blood in the hallway not far away. The amount of blood was astonishing, and the surrounding walls were splattered with it. There were also some remnants of flesh and bone, as well as torn work clothes from the sales office and security uniforms on top of the bloodstains.
The flesh and bone fragments looked like leftover food scraps with teeth marks and bite marks.
Looking at the familiar clothing in front of him, Fang Xiu knew for sure that it belonged to his colleague who went to check the power source and the security guard.
It was obvious that they had both been eaten by the monsters.
Upon seeing this scene, Fang Xiu immediately understood why it took three minutes for the monsters to reappear after the man disappeared, while the woman only took two minutes.
It turned out that the time interval for the monsters to appear was calculated based on the amount of flesh.
The female colleagues in the sales office were mostly not ugly, at least they all had regular features and slim figures, which was also a requirement for the industry. So their flesh amount was relatively less compared to their male colleagues.
It took about three minutes for the monster to eat a male colleague, while it only took about two minutes for a female colleague.
"Xiu Ge! They... they were all eaten by the monsters!?" Zhao Hao trembled and turned pale beside him.
Fang Xiu ignored him and carefully observed the cut clothes. The cuts were very smooth and obviously made by some kind of sharp blade. When he combined this with the strangeness he had seen before in the Qing Shan Mental Hospital, the figure of the female doctor immediately appeared in his mind.
The cuts were likely made by the surgical knife in her hand.
At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps came from behind Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao.
They turned around and saw Wang Ziteng and his group coming out of the dark corridor.
"Oh my God! What is this place? This shouldn't be a sales office, should it?"
"This seems to be a hospital!"
Wang Ziteng and the others exclaimed in disbelief and panic.
Indeed, no one could have imagined that they were walking in the corridor of a sales office, but when they came out, they found that the familiar place had turned into a hospital scene.
"Did you find anything when you came out first, Fang Hou and Zhao Hao? Did you see Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li?" Manager Wu Dahai asked tremblingly.
"Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li, they..." Zhao Hao trembled and pointed to the two pools of blood on the ground.
Wang Ziteng and others followed the direction of his finger and their pupils contracted.
"Blood! So much blood!" Li Feifei couldn't stop screaming.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"These are Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li's clothes!" Wang Ziteng's face became even more unpleasant, cold sweat pouring down as if he had thought of some horrifying scene.
"They were eaten."
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone shuddered.
"Wang Shao! Quick, let's leave here. I want to go home, wuwuwu..." Li Feifei was scared and cried, pulling Wang Ziteng's arm and pleading.
Wang Ziteng suddenly woke up, "Yes, let's go!"
He was about to lead the people behind him forward, but looking at the unfamiliar and empty hospital corridor in front of him, he couldn't move his feet.
Who knows where this corridor leads? What if there is a creepy lair ahead?
Wang Ziteng was under a lot of pressure right now, like the first person to lead a group of people to play in a haunted house.
But everyone regarded him as the backbone and huddled behind him.
Fortunately, Fang Hou soon solved the problem for him.
Because Fang Hou had finished observing and started to act.
He calmly walked towards the depths of the corridor, with Zhao Hao following closely behind.
Seeing someone leading the way, Wang Ziteng no longer hesitated and walked straight ahead.
However, he did not follow closely like Zhao Hao, maintaining a distance of about three meters, whether it was due to face-saving considerations or other factors.
Dadada
The sound of crowded and suppressed footsteps echoed through the empty corridor, as if afraid of being heard by someone sneaky.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
Because the one leading the way, Fang Xu, stopped his footsteps. He was like a leader, and when he stopped, his colleague Zhao Hao stopped behind him. Then came Wang Ziteng and the others.
Wang Ziteng really wanted to ask Fang Xu why he stopped, but he didn't dare to speak because of the situation.
Once he spoke, wouldn't it be like Fang Xu couldn't make the way, and he couldn't walk?
"Fang Xu, why did you stop?" Li Feifei asked tremblingly.
This woman was already scared out of her wits, so naturally she lost her previous cleverness as a white-collar female elite. When she saw Fang Xu stop, she instinctively asked him in a desperate attempt to leave this place.
Fang Xu didn't answer, but glanced at his phone and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Time's up."
"What time's up?" Li Feifei asked subconsciously.
Everyone else was also confused.
Only Wang Ziteng reacted, and his face changed drastically as he quickly raised his left hand to look at the expensive watch on his wrist.
"Three minutes!"
Everyone suddenly realized, and their faces turned pale.
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of cracking joints behind them.
The sound was very clear, as if a joint was rotating.
When everyone turned around, they were instantly terrified.
A female doctor wearing a white coat, with disheveled hair and limbs that resembled a spider, was hanging upside down from the ceiling in the hallway. Her eyes had only the whites visible, and the cracking sound was from her turning her neck.
Because she was hanging upside down like a spider, her face was in the opposite direction of everyone else, with her head down and her chin up. But as she turned her head 180 degrees, her face was now facing the same direction as everyone else.
An unspeakable fear began to spread like a tide.
Before the appearance of the strange creature and after its appearance were two completely different concepts. When she stood straight in front of you, even the bravest person would tremble.
The female doctor stared at everyone, and in the next second, her limbs started to move frantically, just like a spider, crawling towards them.
"Ah!!!"
Li Feifei's scream was like a signal to start running, and everyone started running frantically.
This time, there was no need for anyone to lead the way, and they even pushed the person in front of them out of the way.
The hallway in the mental hospital was already narrow, and in order to escape, people involuntarily pulled and pushed the people in front of them, trying to save themselves.
Some people with weaker physical abilities were pushed to the ground, such as Li Feifei.
As a delicate and pretty girl, she always clung to Wang Ziteng's arm for protection, but in the face of danger, Wang Ziteng was the first to push her to the ground and run for his life.
Wang Ziteng's reaction speed was very fast. He was the first to run and the one who was at the forefront of the escape.
At this time, Fang Xu and Zhao Hao were blocking his escape route.
But Fang Xu and Zhao Hao did not run away.
Zhao Hao was scared silly, while Fang Xu was observing.
As he had speculated, the killer was indeed the female doctor they had seen in the mental hospital before.
After all, most of the strange occurrences in the Qing Shan Mental Hospital were confined to their own wards. Although some ward doors were open, they hadn't encountered anything until now, except for this female doctor. She was not a patient but a doctor, so she was not locked up.
