Chapter 496 Odds of Winning
The elevator was parked on the B1 floor, but as Wang Changguo pressed the elevator button, the elevator, which had seemed fixed on B1, actually moved.
It began to move slowly upwards.
When it reached Wang Changguo's floor, it stopped.
Then, the elevator doors slowly opened.
It was empty inside.
The instant he saw the elevator doors open, Wang Changguo gritted his teeth, strode inside, and then, with a trembling hand, pressed the button for B1.
That's right.
He was going to B1.
To find Jiang Cheng and the others.
What Huai Yi had once said was gradually becoming reality. Wang Changguo remembered that he had said that under normal circumstances, a ghost could only kill one person at a time.
In other words, Jiang Cheng and the others wouldn't all be wiped out in such a short time.
There were survivors.
But for some reason, they were trapped on B1.
Wang Changguo had made this decision after careful consideration.
Rather than barging into the stairwell and being killed directly by the ghost, he might as well take a gamble.
"God bless me, if I can get out of this alive, I will… I will never cheat those old people into buying my fake health products again!" Wang Changguo murmured to himself, "I, Wang Changguo, swear to heaven!"
It seemed that heaven really heard Wang Changguo's oath. The elevator encountered no obstacles during its descent, and a moment later, it arrived at B1.
As the elevator doors opened, a wave of icy air rushed towards him.
The air was filled with a strange smell.
He instinctively assumed it was the chemicals used for embalming corpses.
Wang Changguo swallowed and stepped out of the elevator. He was in a corridor with no extra clutter, quite spacious.
On both sides were several doors with no obvious labels, and he had no idea what was inside.
But since it was on B1, it was likely related to corpses in some way.
A strange scraping sound came from the end of the corridor, as if something was slowly rubbing and moving along the ground, with occasional metallic clangs.
It wasn't very clear, and it sounded very chaotic.
Wang Changguo didn't see Jiang Cheng and the others, and he instinctively thought they were also in the room where the sound was coming from.
He didn't dare to make too much noise, so he could only walk step by step towards the end of the corridor.
After a few steps, he saw the words "Morgue".
Even though he was prepared, he still felt a chill down his spine.
But just as he was cautiously walking towards the morgue, he didn't notice that behind him, a tightly closed door was slowly opening a crack.
Three eyes blinked, watching Wang Changguo's back.
"Holy crap." Cao Yang whispered, "It's that bastard Wang Changguo. Why did he come down here alone?"
"Could it be a ghost?" Yu Yu, who was at the bottom, said, "He's so timid, he definitely wouldn't dare to come down here alone. He's a ghost in disguise."
"Yeah, yeah, and we haven't been up for so long, the people upstairs must know something happened to us. Wang Changguo is such a shrewd guy, he wouldn't risk coming down to save people." Cao Yang echoed, "If anyone came down, it would be someone else, and definitely not just one person."
"This is terrible. We're trapped here." Yu Yu shrank her body and lowered her voice, "There's a ghost in the morgue, and now one has come down from the elevator."
Yu Yu looked very scared. The sound from the morgue earlier had frightened her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, the elevator had been called up.
She watched helplessly as the elevator stopped steadily on the fourth floor, and then actually came back down.
Anyone could guess that it had brought something down.
As for whether it was a person, that was hard to say.
Jiang Cheng immediately told everyone to hide in a nearby room, then closed the door and held their breath.
What they didn't expect was that after the elevator doors opened, Wang Changguo came out furtively.
"Doesn't seem like it." Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke, "He should be a person."
Cao Yang turned his head and stared at Jiang Cheng, "Are you sure?"
"Not sure, but I know that if we let him go to the morgue and release whatever's inside, the situation will be even worse." Jiang Cheng looked at Cao Yang and said.
"Mr. Jiang is right." Yu Yu nodded, "If Wang Changguo is a ghost, we only have to face one ghost when we go out, but if we let him open the door to the morgue, we're doomed!"
Cao Yang wasn't one to hesitate either. Knowing that things had come to this, he had to take a gamble.
He steeled his heart, and then used the faint light coming through the crack in the door to look around the room.
The room was very dark, and he could only see a small area nearby. He didn't dare to turn on his flashlight.
This seemed to be a room for storing equipment.
Not far from Cao Yang, there was a handcart.
It had three layers, and from Cao Yang's angle, he could only see a few strangely shaped metal instruments on the top layer.
He slowly walked over and picked out a short stick.
Only after holding it in his hand did he realize that it was much lighter than he had imagined. It should be hollow. He waved it around a couple of times and felt that it was quite handy.
Jiang Cheng didn't move. He didn't need to.
If the other person was really Wang Changguo, then Jiang Cheng could beat him to a pulp three times over with one hand. If it was a ghost… then ordinary weapons were useless.
The reason he didn't stop Cao Yang was because he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.
People always need hope to survive.
And him…
Jiang Cheng lowered his head, looked at the door that was faintly emerging in his palm, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
If the other party was really a ghost, then… he would have to use the power of this door.
More precisely, the power of Wu (nothingness).
Judging from the performance of the previous Wu, ordinary ghosts had no chance of winning in front of him.
But he also knew that everything came at a price.
And the price of opening the door in his hand and summoning Wu would be quite expensive.
It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away.
He could sense that Wu was coveting something, and it probably wasn't just his body. It was something in the deepest part of his body, even his soul.
"Brother Jiang." Cao Yang waved the iron rod in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"He's almost at the morgue." Yu Yu had been paying attention to the movements outside the door. Wang Changguo was getting closer and closer to the morgue.
Jiang Cheng nodded to the remaining two, then suddenly opened the door and rushed out.
But not in the direction of Wang Changguo, but towards the elevator.
If they could run, only a fool would fight a Wang Changguo who was suspected of being a ghost.
Fortunately, the elevator was still parked on B1 and hadn't gone up.
After pressing the elevator button, the elevator doors slowly opened. Jiang Cheng and the other two immediately ran in, and Yu Yu turned around and frantically pressed the buttons in the elevator.
But an accident still happened.
The elevator doors wouldn't close.
Even more terrifying, Wang Changguo, who was about to reach the door of the morgue, also reacted and started running towards the elevator.
Hearing Wang Changguo's frantic running, Yu Yu's face in the elevator turned pale.
