The doctor shook the medicine bottle that Sheng Xing Ze brought back.
"Well, it's gone again," After throwing away the empty bottle, his gaze returned to the four interns and turned around.
"There are rumors...our hospital is haunted, don't you be stupid and believe such thing," He shook some sticky red liquid, and several drops splashed to the feet of the four people. Zhang Shi Jing covered her mouth from screaming.
Everyone nodded incessantly.
The doctor still had not finished talking when the operating room lights began to flicker, and Zhang Shi Jing whispered a scream.
"What, don't believe such unscientific things," The doctor glared at her and said disdainfully.
While he continued to fiddle with the human organs, the lights suddenly went out, and the screams from outside could be heard clearly in the operating room, mixing with the cry of babies.
Hui Si Yong held Sheng Xing Ze's arm tightly, and Zhang Shi Jing plunged into Jia Jie Mao's arms. Sheng Xing Ze continued to take deep breaths to calm his heartbeat. He clung to the board behind him, and his nails seemed to be inserted into the board.
The doctor suddenly squatted down while holding onto his neck, he told the four people intermittently with a hoarse voice: "Run, the rumor...true."
Suddenly there was a fierce knocking sound on the wooden board behind the four people. Sheng Xing Ze even felt something was about to break through the wooden board to rush into the operating room.
It was dark all around, and the four people fumbled back to the duty room, and then stumbled back into the dim lit duty room.
Sheng Xing Ze sat in a chair, closing his eyes and trying to calm down the discomfort in his stomach. He let go of the little koi in his hand, four curved nail prints appeared on the inside of his palm, the koi was covered in Sheng Xing Ze's cold sweat.
"I almost died in there." Hui Si Yong panted heavily, patting his chest before he could even relax.
Zhang Shi Jing had been crying with a pale face, with a strong nasal voice, "I don't want to be here, let me go out." She looked frightened and stood motionless, no matter what the other three said, she did not listen to any of it.
"Let's continue to look for clues. We should be able to open this door somehow," Jia Jie Mao was the calmest one. He pushed the iron door on the other side of the room and turned back to the three teammates.
However, they had not had the time to find new clues, and a female ghost in a white coat rushed towards them. The female ghost ricketed, her messy hair blocking her face.
The female ghost rushed towards Sheng Xing Ze as soon as she entered the duty room. As the staff told him at the beginning, if he did not push the cat towards the female ghost, he would become the female ghost's first target.
Hui Si Yong screamed with a piece of rune paper in his hand, his voice changed somehow, "You can't come here!"
The female ghost turned a deaf ear, getting closer and closer to them, and the slender rustic long nail almost touched Hui Si Yong's face. Hui Si Yong did not seem to be okay at all, desperately pressed himself backward, Jia Jie Mao on the back of the line got crushed due to the boy's action, he was almost out of breath.
"I'm sorry," When the female ghost's hand crossed Hui Si Yong to reach to Sheng Xing Ze, Sheng Xing Ze pushed Hui Si Yong to the female ghost.
Hui Si Young was caught by the female ghost and was taken away by her with his mouth being covered. Before leaving, Sheng Xing Ze saw the disbelief in Hui Si Yong's eyes.
Sheng Xing Ze finally bowed to Hui Si Yong, looking at him apologetically.
Once Hui Si Yong was taken away, the closed iron door automatically opened.
There were two different passages behind the iron door. The director explained to them through the headset that the three of them would have to split into two groups to take the passages.
"Only when both sides complete the task at the same time, you can escape the hospital and successfully report to the police." The director said.
Jia Jie Mao and Sheng Xing Ze must go separately. Zhang Shi Jing chose to join Jia Jie Mao without hesitation. By looking at Sheng Xing Ze's action just now, she was really afraid that she would be pushed to the female ghost.
Jia Jie Mao patted Sheng Xing Ze on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and gave Sheng Xing Ze the only flashlight in the team. Zhang Shi Jing stood at the brighter intersection and urged Jia Jie Mao to hurry up.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at the dark path in front of him, and he could still hear Zhang Shi Jing complaining that Jia Jie Mao had given Sheng Xing Ze a flashlight, and they could only advance in darkness.
Not sure what Jia Jie Mao told her, but Zhang Shi Jing's voice could not be heard anymore.
Sheng Xing Ze touched the wall and walked in the dark path. The faint light of the flashlight could only shine not far in front, and the unknown fear was still deep in the corridor.
Sheng Xing Ze could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat.
"I'm actually afraid of the dark," He said to the camera, "Fear of darkness, and also of ghosts."
He did not know when the variety show would do a live stream, maybe it was happening right now, he could imagine that there should be a lot of comforting words on his invisible screen, maybe there would be...Yu Bai was watching him.
"I don't know what's ahead, I'm quite scared," He said as he walked forward.
He could not see the end of the road, suddenly he heard the sound of wheels sliding behind him in the dark.
Sheng Xing Ze suddenly turned his head, pointed the flashlight behind him, and an old man covered in blood in patient clothing rushed toward him in a wheelchair. He was bleeding.
There was a terrifying smile in the corner of the old man's mouth, and an eyeball was missing from one of his eye sockets, and there was blood flowing swarthy.
Sheng Xing Ze ran forward without looking back, and the sound of the wheelchair behind him did not slow down.
A cold and damp hand held Sheng Xing Ze's arm. Sheng Xing Ze pulled his arm away from the grip without much thought, and he did not care what was sticking on his arm as he kept running forward.
Sheng Xing Ze's running speed was very fast, and the staff who played the ghosts dare not directly block him, they just touched him on a shoulder or an arm to complete their tasks, and then showed a helpless expression in front of the cameras around them.
The guest ran too fast, so it was hard to play the ghosts.
The last room was empty. Although it was very dark, there were no ghosts, the male ghosts and female ghosts running after Sheng Xing Ze had been thrown behind by him halfway.
Sheng Xing Ze checked around and confirmed that there was only this button in the room.
He hesitated to press it. Suddenly a cold wind brushed by him, Sheng Xing Ze shrank his neck and wrapped his clothes tightly.
There was a sudden loud thunder, accompanied by white light flashing from time to time as a lightning.
After a particularly loud thunder, a person suddenly descended from the roof.
Hui Si Yong was tied to a cross, his limbs could not move, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and something was stuffed in his mouth.
An elder voice reached Sheng Xing Ze's ears, "Sheng Xing Ze, do you want to save him? Do you want to atone?"
Sheng Xing Ze nodded without hesitation, "Save him."
"It's simple, sacrifice yourself to be in his place."
Sheng Xing Ze climbed the high platform and held a flashlight to help loosen the rope on Hui Si Yong's wrists, took off the blindfold, handed the flashlight to Hui Si Yong, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and stood in front of the cross without looking back.
"Tie me," He whispered to Hui Si Yong.
Without waiting for Hui Si Yong to take the rope, the light in the room turned on, and the sound rang again, "You made the right choice."
Hui Si Yong was proud of his choice, "Of course, how could Brother Sheng not save me."
He told Sheng Xing Ze that after being taken away by the female ghost, the ghost asked him if he wanted to join them and become a ghost, interfering with everyone from escaping the hospital, or willing to stand on this cross and wait until someone would sacrifice himself to save him.
Hui Si Yong did not hesitate to choose the latter, hence we had the scene just now.
The door on the other side of the room opened, and two other people rushed out of it, followed by a stiff and fast zombie.
The zombie seemed to be restricted by something that he could not step into this room, wandering in the doorway before leaving.
The people in the room felt relieved to see that they were not being followed.
No one knew what happened to them on the other side. Zhang Shi Jing's hair style got all messed up and the makeup on her face had faded some.
"He chased us all the way here," Jia Jie Mao explained with a bitter smile, "But I don't think we are the worst in seeing you like this."
Zhang Shi Jing glanced over to him, wrinkled her nose, and could not resist moving closer to Jia Jie Mao.
Sheng Xing Ze lowered his head to find blood stains on him, and there were many bloody fingerprints on his arm. He smiled indifferently, "Let's try to find a way out."
Hui Si Yong touched a place that looked like a cabinet, "There seems to be something here." He pulled the cabinet out and looked at it with a flashlight.
"This looks like a coffin."
Zhang Shi Jing panicked, "Do we have to get in?"
"Looks like nothing wrong with this," Jia Jie Mao checked the "coffin". He looked back at the others, "I'll go first."
Jia Jie Mao took the lead to climb into the coffin and lay down. Sheng Xing Ze and Hui Si Yong pushed the coffin back to its place together.
The "coffin" did not respond at first, and when they thought their guess was wrong, they only heard the operation sound of a "click" and Jia Jie Mao shouted inside.
"Brother Jia, how's it?" Hui Si Yong shouted to him.
"It's fun, I finally get to see the outside world." Jia Jie Mao's voice was full of joy.
After the coffin returned to its original position, the other three people lay down one by one. Sheng Xing Ze was the last to go and he was being pushed by the previous zombie.
"Thank you, brother," He smiled and waved at the zombie. The zombie responded with a human smile. His white teeth immediately dispersed the cold breath on his body.
The four people walked out of the haunted house and returned to the outside world. The winter sunshine was no longer dazzling but it was extremely warm.
"It's always good to see the light," Hui Si Yong stretched out lazily and exhaled heavily.
Sheng Xing Ze washed off the red prop paint on his hand and sighed helplessly at his red dress.
"Regardless what happened, we've got out now." Jia Jie Mao was excited and slapped on the backs of Sheng Xing Ze and Hui Si Yong. "We are good brothers who have gone through haunted houses together!"
