The leader's face stiffened.
My pupil contracted.
Subsequently, the dry lips of the old Gong moved again and he said: "You are having an out-of-body experience, he has a brain problem."
I breathed a little easier, as Old Gong hadn't eaten anything from the leader, so he shouldn't have been able to sense the leader's information.
Out-of-body experience refers to the current state of the leader.
The soul he is with beside me is lost; isn't this what the old saying refers to as losing one's soul, or "out-of-body experience"?
The leader's expression improved as well, and he glanced at Old Gong before saying in a low voice, "Once I return home, it will naturally be alright."
However, the leader muttered to himself, "He? Wei Youming?"
Old Gong nodded slightly.
I'm not surprised about that.
Indeed, as written in Wei Youming's diary, Lao Liu believed that he was sick and needed to be admitted to the intensive care unit.
Unexpectedly, I shivered again.
Because, I remembered the living dead demon earlier.
He said when he mistakenly thought I was Wei Youming that I couldn't come out, stay well, sleep well, and so on!
He must be the Lao Liu mentioned in the diary.
That's right, if it weren't the vice president, who else could have put the hospital director in the ward?
Once again, considering the information provided by Chen Jun, a slightly more complete logical chain began to emerge in my mind.
Wei Youming is ill.
Therefore, he started "harming" the patients.
The so-called disappearance of the patients was a show played out by Wei Youming.
It wasn't until the vice president discovered his condition and had him hospitalized for treatment, and then later, when the old detective "Xue Fang" found more clues and pointed all the blame at Wei Youming, that the subsequent events of Wei Youming escaping from capture and committing suicide occurred!
Later on, Wei Youming was sentenced to 28 prisons for the number of murders he committed, turning the mental hospital into a even more terrifying and bizarre existence.
As for what Tang Xu said that all the families who had sent patients to the hospital were haunted, I couldn't figure out the reason at the moment.
The look of contemplation on my face was obvious, and the leader, in a low voice, urged me not to be lost in thought here. He said that Wei Youming's becoming a 28th prison inmate couldn't have been that simple. Thinking about it too much was meaningless now; what's most important is to go to the top floor and find my own soul.
I put aside my thoughts, realizing that the leader was right.
The two began to climb the stairs.
The second floor corridor and the third floor corridor were both blocked by identical iron doors.
My eyelids twitched again when I passed the third floor.
My right eye was fine before, but now it was sending chills.
I cupped my right eye with one hand and hurriedly went up.
When I reached the fifth floor, I suddenly felt something was off.
It was still quiet, overly quiet.
With so many of us coming in, we've been to both buildings; it's impossible that there hasn't been any movement at all?
Why is it still no one??!
I looked at the leader again and he had a tight face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Finally, we reached the sixth floor.
This floor and the five floors below are all different.
The lower floors were all blocked by a left and right iron door, plus a lock.
On this sixth floor, the iron doors on both sides were thickened by two layers, looking more like a prison than a prison.
"Turn right, go in!" Suddenly, Lao Gong called out again.
I quickly took out the copper sheet and started to pick the lock.
My eye felt even colder, and suddenly, a liquid flowed out.
It fell on the ground and turned into a pool of blood.
"Goddess?"
The leader whispered, his tone filled with concern and unease.
My eyelids twitched repeatedly, and I didn't stop my actions.
Lao Gong suddenly trembled, and his eyes showed fear again.
"Master... he's waking up..." Lao Gong's voice grew even colder, and he was trembling slightly.
The first lock has been opened!
My forehead was covered with sweat beads as I pushed open the first iron door and started to unlock the second one.
The blood pool on the ground had condensed into a round, ball-like eye.
The eye, filled with blood vessels, had lifeless pupils that stared coldly at me.
My heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
"He's awake... he's here!" Lao Gong almost screamed.
Roared: "Master, come out!"
The first half of his sentence expressed fear and informed me.
The second half of his sentence was not addressed to me!
But the second half of his sentence was not directed at me; instead, it was shouted towards the soul within the iron gate deep in the distance.
To be honest, I was also anxious. I didn't know why my soul, for some reason, had not come out even though we had arrived here. Why isn't he coming out?
At this moment, the eye ball rolled down towards the back, as if it wanted to roll down the stairs.
Suddenly, the leader retreated from me, went out of the first iron door, and kicked the eyeball hard with his foot!
A puffing cracking sound, like a burst of lava.
Another pool of blood spread on the ground, and the leader coldly cursed, "He can't escape; he's a ghost."
Then, the leader quickly returned to my side.
Just then, the lock of the second door was opened by me.
Suddenly, a hoarse, familiar voice came from the direction.
"Lock up, come in!"
"Quickly!"
The voice was so familiar, it was almost like I was speaking to myself!
No, it's my soul calling me!
I can see a faint figure in the distance of the corridor.
However, I did not immediately chase after it. Instead, I followed the instructions of my soul and turned around quickly, closing and then relocking the first iron door.
During this period, the leader looked at the iron door outside with great gravity and caution.
I exited the second iron door and locked it, too. My forehead was covered with sweat.
Lao Gong's head tilted, and he stared straight ahead at the staircase.
My and the leader's gazes fell on the staircase nearly simultaneously.
There was no indication of any movement.
When I heard the sound of leather shoes, a person walked out from the staircase on the sixth floor without any warning.
The man was of average height, wearing a very clean, neat, and comfortable suit.
But on his neck, there were deep marks from a tie, and on his pale, wrinkled face, the skin was full of creases. He had no right eye, and his left eye was dark and red. There were very obvious marks on his temple from a spectacle frame.
My heart did stop for a moment.
Wei Youming has arrived so quickly!
He squatted down, his fingers flicking towards the ground.
The bloodstains moved quickly and became a round, ball-like eye full of blood vessels.
He pinched the eyeball and then stuffed it into the eye socket.
At this moment, Wei Youming appeared more kind-hearted, and there was no sense of terror in his demeanor.
Standing up, he looked at me and the leader, his eyes looked like they were looking at friends.
"Go!" The leader grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, trying to retreat to the deeper parts of the corridor!
I did not resist; just as I was about to retreat with him,
Suddenly, a chill ran through the back of my heart.
At that moment, my head felt like mashed potatoes, filled with many memories and images that did not exist.
"I" was running wildly!
Running for their lives in the corridors of each floor!
Behind, the sound of leather shoes followed deeply.
I had slipped into a medicine cabinet full of bottles and jars.
I had squeezed through the hospital's morgue.
I had hidden in toilets, changing rooms...
I had been everywhere in this building.
Even, I had left this building and gone to the front door...
But the front door was not an exit...
The memories are a bit blurred, and I haven't fully accepted them yet. All I remember is that as soon as I got near the front door, Wei Youming would immediately chase after me...
That was until "I" had hidden in the sixth-floor intensive care unit, where Wei Youming couldn't find "I" anymore.
In fact, I had secretly observed that Wei Youming had come to the sixth floor several times and stopped in front of the iron door, without entering.
The thoughts actually passed quickly.
As soon as I was pulled out by the leader, I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
The leader was just a light spirit, but I held him back, stopping him in his tracks.
"He can't get in," I said in a hoarse, dry voice.
The feeling of emptiness in my right eye disappeared, and I felt very full and complete. However, it was too full, and the information was overwhelming. My head felt like it was about to burst open.
The leader looked slightly surprised at me and then narrowed his eyes, as if he had just thought of something.
I turned my head back and stared at Wei Youming outside the iron door.
He was truly clean, meticulous, and kind as a doctor.
"I saw you."
Wei Youming's voice was extremely friendly, and the smile on his face began to broaden.
Wei Youming didn't look that bad when he didn't smile, but as soon as he smiled, that insincere feeling came up.
And he gave me another feeling.
Like he had been waiting for me to come.
He could easily catch up with me this soul, but he didn't really catch up, just maintained that sense of urgency.
He used this sense of urgency to force me to appear here!
Face him!
In the next second, Wei Youming's smile widened, and he slowly approached the iron door.
The leader was even more vigilant.
However, he did not continue to urge me to run.
To be honest, this floor isn't that big; where could we possibly run to!?
Since we've run into Wei Youming, we need a solution!
The next moment, Wei Youming stood close to the iron door, staring at me straightly.
"Ghosts don't eat, humans don't eat and they will die."
"You always have to come out."
Wei Youming's attention was entirely on me, and he didn't pay any attention to the leader.
There was an even more unusual longing in his eyes, deep inside.
