Chapter 14 Doom

Without time to hesitate, Du Feng turned and ran behind him.

He didn't know why the ghosts were here, and he didn't understand why there were so many ghosts.

But it was too late to say anything now, he just wanted to run.

The faster the better.

But even if he ran back, what could he do?

Wouldn't he still be chased by ghosts along with Huai Yi?

There was a hall between the two corridors, not very large. Du Feng suddenly heard a "ding" sound as he ran through the hall.

Turning his head, he saw an elevator stopping.

Then, the elevator door opened, and a nurse stood inside.

The nurse was holding a blue-covered notebook, wearing a white old-fashioned gauze mask, and a nurse's cap on her head.

At the same time Du Feng saw the nurse, she also saw him.

Seemingly seeing something behind Du Feng, the nurse's long eyes narrowed suddenly. Then, she frantically pressed the buttons in the elevator.

The blue-covered notebook fell to the ground in fright.

The elevator door paused, then slowly closed.

"Don't!" Du Feng shouted.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. Without thinking, Du Feng immediately ran towards the nurse.

Fortunately, he squeezed into the elevator door at the last moment. Much to his surprise, the ghosts outside the elevator door stopped a few meters away from him.

A total of... 6 ghosts, in different poses, but none of them showed any signs of chasing after him.

Did they give up?

Du Feng's mind was in a mess, but he was secretly rejoicing. He had finally... finally escaped.

He turned his back to the nurse and frantically pressed the floor buttons in the elevator.

Second floor.

He wanted to return to the second floor and reunite with the remaining people.

He had even thought it through. He would go back and persuade the remaining people to save the man, but he himself would definitely not come back.

As for whether the remaining people were willing to save the man, that was their business.

He didn't think it was worth risking a few more lives for a Huai Yi who was almost certain to die.

"Phew—"

After seeing the second floor button light up, Du Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a foreign object under his feet. Du Feng looked down and realized it was the blue notebook dropped by the nurse. "Didn't I scare you?" Du Feng said as he bent down.

But just as he picked up the notebook and was about to stand up, out of the corner of his eye, through his legs, he suddenly saw a pair of feet.

It really was a pair of feet.

Bare feet.

They were an eerie, bluish-purple color, and the toe joints had terrible frostbite.

A pair of thick blue and white striped pants hung down casually, covering the ankles, swaying gently with the faint breeze in the elevator.

Du Feng's pupils shrank suddenly.

These were patient clothes worn by patients.

Just like... just like the guys who were chasing him just now.

Damn it...

Du Feng's observation skills and knowledge were far inferior to Jiang Cheng. If Jiang Cheng were here, he would have noticed the tag tied to the big toe of the person behind him.

This was called a corpse tag, usually tied to the ankle or big toe of the deceased.

It stated the deceased's name, age, cause of death, and other necessary data.

Following folk custom, it was mostly tied to the left foot for men and the right foot for women.

Du Feng was scared to death at the moment. Even if he was stupid, he knew that he had sent himself to hell.

From the moment he got on the elevator until now, there had been no sound behind him.

The elevator was deathly silent.

He stiffly straightened up, his legs trembling non-stop.

Time passed by, second by second.

Du Feng stared intently at the floor number on the elevator display.

Just past the 4th floor.

Now it was the 3rd floor.

The elevator continued to descend.

The ghost hadn't made a move yet, but he had already planned that when the elevator stopped on the 2nd floor and the door opened, he would rush out.

Faster...

Faster!

The elevator finally reached the 2nd floor.

But Du Feng, who was about to rush out, was dumbfounded. The elevator didn't stop on the 2nd floor at all, but continued to descend.

1st floor...

Until it stopped on the basement level.

Finally, there was a sound behind him, a "crackling" sound similar to the shifting of bones.

Du Feng screamed and turned around, seeing the most terrifying scene of his life.

The female nurse was gone. Standing behind him was a woman with eerie, bluish-purple skin.

The woman's hair was disheveled, she was wearing patient clothes, and her bare feet made her almost as tall as him.

Because she was wearing a mask, he couldn't see her face.

But it didn't matter anymore, because in the next second, the mask was torn off by a huge force. Du Feng, seeing the woman's face, was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

He frantically pressed the open button, but it was useless.

The woman's teeth were very white and extremely sharp. What was even more terrifying was that they were constantly squirming, like some kind of deep-sea monster. She actually spat out half of her oral cavity, opening her entire mouth at an angle that humans could never achieve.

"Don't! Don't..." Du Feng's eyes widened, his body twitching madly. "Ah! Ah... Ahhh!!"

"Crack... Crunch!"

The screams stopped abruptly.

"Ding!"

One minute later, the elevator returned to the 6th floor.

The elevator door opened, and a corpse tightly pressed against the elevator door fell out of the elevator, the headless cavity still gurgling blood outwards.

The corpse was holding its own head in its hands, a very frightening scene.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the 6 people outside the door, except for Jiang Cheng and Lin Wan'er, could be described as pale.

The color drained from Wei Wei's face, and Yu Yu swayed violently. Jiang Cheng grabbed her, and she stood firm.

Cao Yang took a deep breath, as if he didn't suppress it, the contents of his stomach would come out.

Wang Changguo hid at the very back of everyone.

Just now, they in the stairwell were chased by a strange footstep, but as soon as they turned the corner, they bumped into Du Feng, who was running for his life in a panic.

But for some reason, Du Feng ran away as if he had seen a ghost when he saw them.

Finally, he even plunged into the elevator.

At the moment Du Feng rushed into the elevator, Jiang Cheng knew he was done for.

No one dared to approach the elevator, and could only watch the elevator door close little by little.

At the moment the elevator door closed, Jiang Cheng vaguely saw a blurry figure appear behind Du Feng.

Just as they were about to leave, no one expected that the elevator would come up again.

After the door opened, this was the scene.

It was like opening the gates of hell.

Du Feng's head was held in his arms, his face full of fear. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying scene he had seen at the end.

Jiang Cheng slowly walked over. As if not wanting his shoes to be stained with flowing blood, Lin Wan'er only stood on the edge of the blood.

Looking down, he silently stared at Du Feng's remains.

After a simple inspection, Jiang Cheng retreated. "There are no extra scars on the body." Jiang Cheng raised his chin, signaling everyone to look at Du Feng's head.

Obviously, decapitation was the only fatal wound.

This also matched the information previously collected.

The three male medical staff who had been killed by ghosts before were also separated from their bodies.

Looking at the hideous wound on Du Feng's neck, Cao Yang couldn't help but swallow.

The exposed pale bone stubble and tangled muscles made it hard to imagine what kind of inhuman treatment he had suffered.
