Chapter 70: The Hanged Man
Jiajia looked at me with lifeless eyes, blood gushing out of her mouth, splashing on my pants. She opened her mouth and seemed to be in pain: "Uncle Tian, I'm so cold, can you please pick me up?"
I looked at her in horror and said, "Jia...Jia Jia, can you please go back to the ward by yourself? Uncle...Uncle is very busy now."
"Uncle Tian, I'm so cold, I'm so cold..." Jia Jia cried loudly, with large amounts of blood flowing from her eyes.
I really want to die at this moment.
Pick her up?
That's impossible, I would rather jump from here than hug this thing!
"Uncle Tian, I hate you——"
Jia Jia suddenly looked at me with resentment, opened her mouth and bit my leg.
"ah!!!"
I screamed in pain. God knows why this little bastard's teeth are so sharp, just like a dog's.
I was no longer afraid and I kept swinging my legs, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the dead head out.
She bit down hard on my leg, her teeth pressing harder and harder.
I made up my mind, said "I'm sorry", bent down, grabbed Jiajia's hair, and finally used all my strength to pull her off my mouth.
Jiajia moved away from my feet, seemingly unwilling to do so. She opened her mouth and wanted to bite my hand.
"Jia Jia, I'm usually pretty nice to you, but this is how you treat me? You're such an ungrateful person!"
I cursed angrily, threw Jia Jia's head into the air, then raised my foot and kicked it hard. With a "pop", Jia Jia's dead head flew out in an arc.
Jia Jia screamed, her head hit the glass and broke, and she fell down.
I put my hands on my hips and hummed in my heart: "If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
Of course, the reason why my buddy attacked so cruelly, not only to save his own life, but also to conclude that this little turtle was definitely not Jia Jia... Jia Jia is so cute, how could she repay kindness with enmity and come to bite my leg?
After this kick, I became much braver and was no longer as scared as before.
The red line once again sent a force, and began to lead me forward...
I guessed in my heart that this red line should have been designed by Lao He for my escape. Every time when I was in danger, it would always take me away. As long as it didn't break, I believed that nothing would happen.
Following the power of the red line, I slowly walked to the door of 404, praying in my heart: "God bless, don't stop, don't stop..."
Unfortunately, God did not hear my prayers - the red line stopped at the door of 404.
No, strictly speaking, it’s not that the red line wants to stop, but that 404 has a force that forces it to stop.
The red line kept shaking, and I felt a sharp pain in my fingers. It was getting tighter and tighter - obviously, it was fighting against 404.
I wanted to move forward, but my feet seemed to be frozen in ice and I couldn't move even a step.
“Crunch—”
The door of Room 404 suddenly opened slowly...
A cold wind blew out from inside.
The hairs on my body stood on end and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down my forehead. The red line on my finger seemed to become excited at this moment and began to pull continuously.
As the door was about to open, a trace of despair flashed through my heart.
Everyone who has seen Ward 404 will eventually die.
It seems that I can't escape this fate...
Just when the door of Ward 404 was about one-third open, it suddenly stopped...
A woman, half of her body exposed, lay on the ground and slowly moved out.
"Zhiyong, save me——"
She raised her head and cried to me.
My head made a noise as if it was pricked by a sharp needle. My eyes widened and I trembled, "Xiao...Xiaoyan?"
Yes, the woman who came out of Room 404 was Cheng Xiaoyan!
what happened?
Why does she appear in 404?
Cheng Xiaoyan was lying on the ground, her face full of pain. She looked at me helplessly and shouted, "Zhiyong, save me, save me..."
I got excited and instinctively wanted to rush over, but the red line on my finger held me tightly, making it impossible for me to move.
At this moment, an old hand with blue veins stretched out from the gap of 404, grabbed Cheng Xiaoyan's neck and dragged her inside.
"Ah, help! Help—"
Cheng Xiaoyan's face was almost distorted with fear and she screamed loudly.
"Hahahaha……"
A cold laugh echoed.
In the darkness, I saw a face.
I will never forget this face !
It’s Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother!
She smiled at me strangely, and dragged Cheng Xiaoyan into Room 404 little by little...
I was panicking at first, but at this moment I suddenly calmed down.
No, she is not Cheng Xiaoyan.
Not to mention that Cheng Xiaoyan would never run to Room 404 for no reason. Even if she really went in, why was her grandmother there too?
Since that old monster let Lao He and I go, it means that Cheng Xiaoyan did convince her.
She asked Cheng Xiaoyan to go home on her own initiative after seven days. Only four days have passed. How could she come back on her own initiative again?
Fake!
It's all fake!
Snap!
The red thread on my hand suddenly broke!
I was startled and thought of Lao He's advice: "Once the red line breaks, blow out the candle immediately and leave right away."
Without any hesitation, I blew out the candle and started running towards the first floor.
Fortunately, nothing terrible happened during the process. After returning to the lounge, I saw Lao He holding two red wires connected to the outside, with his eyes closed, muttering something, and sweat on his forehead.
After hearing the noise, he opened his eyes, and when he saw me, his face changed drastically: "Why is it you?"
I was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"No, that's impossible. The first one to come in should be Cai Kun!" Lao He said tremblingly, then stood up, "Quick, go find Cai Kun, he's in danger!"
I was shocked. Although I didn't know what was going on, I still followed Lao He and ran out of the lounge.
I searched the entire first floor, but couldn't find Cai Kun. I quickly gathered some patients and began a carpet search of Building D.
A few minutes later, a terrified scream suddenly came from the public toilet on the fourth floor.
Lao He and I were so pale that we rushed to the toilet. We saw a patient slumped on the floor, pointing upwards with a look of fear, and tremblingly said, "Hanged...Hanged ghost!"
I looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately gasped, my whole body going numb.
On the light stand in the bathroom, I saw a person’s neck, entangled , hanging in the air!
This is not some hanged ghost, it is clearly Cai Kun!!
