NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25
“You saw… what?”
Qian Lai stared at it for almost three minutes.
After regaining some strength, Yu Qing stood up, held the windowsill with one hand, and looked out!
Their ward was directly connected to the backyard of the nursing home. Yu Qing saw in the huge wishing pool in the backyard, there was a statue of an angel carved in stone. A stooped old lady was surrounding the stone statue with her hands behind her back, frog-jumping like spinning in circles.
Her skin folds were like soaked tree bark. Because of the distance, her face could not be seen clearly. However, her neck was very far forward, and every time she jumped, a mouthful of water would squirt out of her mouth.
Moreover, she was just spinning in circles, and she was spinning very regularly. At first glance, she was almost not aggressive, but… very eye-catching.
The regular movements were like the simplest little game. Once a tired person stared at it, it was difficult to look away.
Following Qian Lai, Yu Qing’s eyes gradually widened…
Dong, dong, dong…
The old lady’s beating became more and more regular, but the sound became louder and louder, which shocked people’s hearts.
After a while, boom!
She suddenly stopped, and Yu Qing’s heart tightened, as if he realized something. When he saw that the old lady was not moving, she suddenly pointed in their direction, “Pfft–”
A jet of water spurted straight toward them!
At this time, Yu Qing’s body seemed to be frozen, and he couldn’t even turn his head!
At the critical moment, the young man was cruel and bit his own tongue!
Biting until bleeding, he forced himself to close his eyes and threw the stunned Qian Lai to the ground.
The next moment, with the sound of sizzling, Yu Qing saw the wall beside him was sprayed by the saliva.
A large hole opened in the stone bricks, and the entire ward’s circuits were paralyzed.
The lamp sticks flickered half-deadly a few times, and then fell into a lonely and deep darkness.
“Hehehehehehe–”
Then, a weird laughter echoed, and the old lady who was not aggressive just now turned toward them, laughing wildly, approaching at an extremely fast speed!
He didn’t know what would happen if they got caught!
Yu Qing immediately pulled Qian Lai up and said, “Run!”
But as soon as he arrived at the door, more than a dozen tall skeleton caregivers came one after another, blocking the door like a stone wall: “The angel’s latest sacrifice, we come to pick you up, let’s bathe in the sacred ceremony together.”
At the same time, the old lady had broken through the broken wall and was about to touch his back: “Sister!”
Yu Qing suddenly shouted, “Sister, help me!”
The sound of “thump, thump, thump” sounded again.
The female ghosts who had eaten the doctor and been strengthened by the ghost-trapping array approached neatly and appeared behind the caregivers without any warning.
The gray fingers melted into slender nails, and a second later, the sharp nails penetrated into the neck. One of the caregivers was knocked down with a bang. Yu Qing gained a new lease on life and immediately rushed to the elevator and headed straight to the ninth floor!
In the huge dungeon live broadcast main screen, the dark corridor on the first floor quickly turned into a chaotic dance of demons.
The unsuspecting skeleton caregivers were knocked down one by one by the female ghosts. When they landed, their eyes were confused, as if they didn’t understand why similar people who had lived in peace for many years suddenly attacked them.
[Hahahahaha, have you watched the live broadcast room? It’s killing time!]
At the same time, as the elevator went up, Yu Qing’s live broadcast room was already occupied by crazy [hahaha.]
[Watch it, the female ghost fights the skeleton caregiver, this is the first time I’ve seen this scene!]
[Hahahahahaha, the caregivers will never understand until his death that the well-behaved younger female ghosts killed them.]
[Hey——, what about the system who first said that our Qingqing could not kill the doctor? What about the system who said our Qingqing can’t escape the angel sacrifice? Stand up~~~ Keep talking~~~]
.
Di——
With a soft sound, the elevator stopped.
When Yu Qing went out, he checked the floor first and confirmed that it was 9. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had survived the disaster, and he was relieved.
Qian Lai didn’t understand: “It’s just an elevator. Is it necessary to be so nervous? That night when the black mist surrounded me, I just took the elevator to the third floor, walked down half a floor, and reached the safe area.”
“…”
Yu Qing choked, recalling his difficult escape experience, and couldn’t help but ask: “Is this elevator so safe?”
Qian Lai raised his eyebrows and heard the other person continue, “Is it because your luck value is 103?”
Qian Lai’s pupils dilated, and he was a little in disbelief. His first reaction was that Yu Qing was joking.
However, the tone was not like it, “You… how do you know?”
Yu Qing walked forward, fumbled with the switch of the corridor light, and replied in a normal tone, “I tried to enter the code into my system to link to your system. I saw it.”
Fortunately, Yu Qing had figured out the environment on the ninth floor when he first arrived, making it easy to find the light, but… Qian Lai’s face was not so good.
The young man in Tang clothes approached him, making a slight movement that made the copper coin hanging on his body jingle. After a while, he stretched out his hand and handed him a strawberry lollipop.
Yu Qing: “?”
Qian Lai’s instructions came from his ear: “Brother, these 100 candy points are just hush money. Don’t tell other hosts about my hobbies that I am ashamed to talk about.”
In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the panel between hosts didn’t really work, unless they spoke up, everyone would only see the famous hosts on the major rankings.
Yu Qing thought for a while and asked tentatively, “You mean you like watching beautiful women on catwalks… um…”
Before he could finish speaking, the lollipop had been opened and stuffed into his mouth.
The sweet and greasy taste melted between his lips and teeth. Yu Qing’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes flashed several times.
After a long time, the tip of his nose became sore involuntarily.
A vague memory was imaged in his mind, as if there was a hand that had unwrapped the candy wrapper for him: “Before… someone also gave me strawberry candy.”
When speaking, the boy’s voice was very small, as if he recalled something sad, and it seemed like… he was missing someone who had long since disappeared from the depths of his memory.
“Ah…” Qian Lai didn’t know how to answer for a moment: “Okay… is it good?”
“Yes, I will keep it a secret.” Yu Qing smiled, with sweet sugar flowing in his mouth, and he could not even move forward lightly.
In addition to the morgue, there were more than fifty small rooms on the top floor of the sanatorium. They only had one hour to explore. If they couldn’t find any clues related to the plot, they would die!
In order not to waste time, Yu Qing and Qian Lai acted separately.
The first room on the far-left side of the corridor was a princess room. The walls inside were all gray and white, and deep black vertical lines were painted on every other section of the wall, like a prison.
But the big bed was soft, and on the pink bedside table were neatly placed all kinds of dolls with weird expressions, which looked… a little cold and weird.
He always felt that… a child’s room shouldn’t be so tidy…
The door was locked from the outside. Yu Qing pulled it twice, but it didn’t open. He simply opened the system mall and looked through the master key—300,000 points.
All-important props were extremely expensive here. If this continued, when would they be able to… His slender knuckles hesitated deeply, and the live broadcast room gradually became impatient.
[Host buy it! Do you want to wait for death to spend on points? The system is counting down!]
[At first glance, he looks like a newcomer. He always feels that earning a few points is more important than life.]
[Search quickly. This kind of lock is very complicated. There is no other way to open it except this. The other hosts also bought it!]
Eyelashes flickering, Yu Qing finally changed hands and bought something.
After a while, the iron lock fell to the ground, and the heavy iron door suddenly opened, letting out a strong smell of blood.
The urging audience thought he followed their wise decision and were happy for a while, but they heard the system’s clear announcement: [Host Yu Qing’s exploration begins, points consumed, 1.]
Live broadcast room: [?????]
