Chapter 116
Walking along the Bone Road to the end, a five-story building stood in front of Han Zhen.
The exterior of the building generally looks like a Western-style decoration. It can be seen that it was originally supposed to be exquisite and gorgeous, but perhaps due to too many years, the outer walls have suffered extensive cracks. The colorful carved glass on the second floor is
Most of the windows are broken, and the exquisitely carved wooden window frames are full of traces of decay. The bluestone-paved steps in front of the building's main entrance are also broken in several places.
Through the wide open front door, you can see that the first floor is an empty hall, with the light of flickering candlelight emanating from it.
In this deserted wilderness, bones paved the way to lead Han Zhen to the small building with flickering candlelight. Ordinary people would not dare to stop here.
However, Han Zhen came here looking for the unformed evil spirit, not to mention that the road of bones appeared exactly under his feet, indicating that the evil spirit also noticed him as an intruder, so he did not
Avoiding the need to hide, he stepped resolutely into the building.
The hall on the first floor is as empty as what you see outside the door. When you first enter, the most eye-catching thing is the source of the firelight. It is a row of short and thick red candles, neatly arranged in a corner of the hall against the wall.
There are candles every few steps, and there are seven or eight candles standing in a row against the wall.
At this time, all these candles were lit, and the candlelight flickered automatically in the hall without wind, creating an extremely weird and weird atmosphere.
Later, Han Zhen was attracted by a strange boxy instrument placed in the center of the hall. When he entered the hall on the first floor, the machine in the center of the hall kept making ticking sounds.
, and in this obviously old abandoned building, there is such a brand new modern machine, which seems to be out of tune with everything around it.
Han Zhen walked towards the machine with a strange look on his face. After careful observation, he found that there was a row of buttons on the top of the machine for unknown purposes, and right in front of it was a display screen. There were a bunch of inexplicable curves and numbers on the screen.
It beats every few seconds, and the ticking sound is caused by the changes in those curves.
Are ghosts and monsters nowadays so high-tech? Han Zhen was puzzled. He couldn't understand what the instrument was, so he simply ignored it and turned around again to look around the first floor.
In addition to this row of lit candles and mysterious machines, there are two rows of empty flower pots left on the first floor, placed against the walls on both sides. It looks like they were left behind when the building was abandoned.
There is nothing special about this.
In addition, what attracted Han Zhen's attention more was the white walls around the hall. That white was not the natural white of the walls, but a yellowing color caused by the fading of the light yellow wallpaper on the walls.
The milky white color, coupled with the fact that the wallpaper is torn and densely wrinkled, makes people feel disgusting at first glance.
But what Han Zhen cares about is not the disgusting appearance. At this time, the true energy is flowing in his eyes. In his eyes, the ghost energy in the whole building is cold, and the place where the Yin energy is most condensed is precisely in the surrounding area.
of walls.
Frowning deeply, just when Han Zhen was about to get closer and observe the strangeness on the wall, a dull metal hitting sound came from above his head.
In the silent environment, the sound reached Han Zhen's ears very clearly. He was suddenly startled and looked up. Above the house was a Western-style building ceiling with exquisite carvings. It could not be fully illuminated except by candlelight.
Apart from appearing slightly dark, there is nothing unusual about it.
The voice came from the second floor. Han Zhen made a quick judgment in his mind and stood still with bated breath, waiting for the subsequent changes.
Sure enough, ten seconds after the sound of hitting, a series of rapid footsteps came from the direction of the roof, which was obviously made by someone running quickly.
Immediately afterwards, there was another series of strange whirring noises and a huge falling sound. Then, silence returned to the second floor, and no sound was heard again.
Han Zhen felt that this series of sounds sounded like something was coming from a fight on the second floor.
Are there other outsiders here besides me? He wondered in his heart, but he didn't bother to check the walls on the first floor carefully, but walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor in the corner of the hall.
At this time, in the dark corridor on the second floor of the building, the beam of Chu Feng's flashlight shone on the attacker's face. His right hand holding the flashlight was trembling slightly. It was because of this sneak attacker who jumped out of the darkness.
, looks too scary.
This person's entire face, which was covered under a black hood, seemed to have been ulcerated, with dark red skin covering it and scars covering his entire face. His lips and nose were a shocking purple color.
There were no eyebrows or eyelashes on his closed eyes due to coma. Instead, they were bulging like a raised sarcoma.
Seeing the terrifying ghost-like appearance in front of him, Chu Feng released his grip on the opponent's hooded hand and quickly took two steps back.
He was sure that he did not know this person, because if he had seen such a face before, he would definitely not forget it.
Just as Chu Feng was thinking about the identity of this person, a sound of kicking feet on the wooden stairs came from the corner of the stairs not far in front of him.
There was someone else! Chu Feng was shocked and quickly turned off the light of the flashlight, then flew open the door and hid in a room on one side of the corridor.
With the experience of being placed against the enemy last time, Chu Feng was not very worried about confronting this latecomer. However, in such a dangerous environment, he wanted to hide in the dark first and observe the fate of these people who appeared one after another.
What's the idea?
The person who was walking up the stairs to the second floor at this time was Han Zhen. He had no idea that the small building that appeared inexplicably among the ghosts was actually an inpatient building that had been abandoned for many years in Z City Mental Hospital, and he didn't know the location.
Qin even had Chu Feng, whom he had never met, trapped in this building.
Han Zhen, who followed the sound of fighting upstairs, saw a figure lying down in the dimly lit corridor when he walked out of the corner of the stairs, seemingly unconscious.
Although a row of windows on one side of the corridor let in some faint moonlight, the light in the corridor was still dark, but fortunately this did not affect Han Zhen's sight.
He could clearly see that the person lying on the ground was wearing a dark sportswear with a hood. It was unclear whether the hood had been pulled away or was not originally worn. It was scattered behind him, and the unconscious person's
There is actually no hair on the back of the head, and the bare scalp is covered with a large number of scars that look like rotten scabs, covering the entire scalp.
Due to the angle, Han Zhen couldn't see the person's face, but judging from the miserable condition of the back of his head, the person's face shouldn't be much better.
If there is a person lying dead here, there will definitely be a perpetrator hiding in the dark. However, Han Zhen, who did not see other figures, was not in a hurry. He just slowly approached the figure who fell to the ground.
.
Just as he was approaching this person, the corner of his eye kept glancing at a closed wooden door in the back intentionally or unintentionally, and deliberately moved forward from the corridor closer to the window, keeping as much distance as possible from the door.
Han Zhen did this because with his extraordinary hearing, he noticed someone hiding in a certain room when he went upstairs. Judging from the position of the person who fell to the ground at this time, this perpetrator was the most likely
It is hidden in the wooden door behind this person.
As expected by Han Zhen, Chu Feng was holding his breath tightly and hiding behind the door. He was afraid that light would shine through the crack in the door and be discovered, so he did not dare to turn on the flashlight and could only listen intently in the darkness to what was happening outside.
sound.
However, what surprised him was that the person outside the room did not make any sound of running quickly or shouting loudly. Instead, he just walked forward step by step with steady steps.
Regarding the behavior of the person outside the door, Chu Feng wondered in confusion: Did this person not see the man lying in the middle of the corridor, or did he not care at all?
The calmer the noise made by the latecomer outside the door, the more worried Chu Feng became. If the other party showed panic, it would be much easier to deal with. But now there is a deathly silence outside, with only the sound of steady and slow footsteps heading towards the door.
It was getting closer and closer, which made Chu Feng, who was hiding in the room, feel even more stressed.
Before knowing the details of this person, Chu Feng did not dare to make a sound rashly. He could only hold the flashlight tightly with one hand and the electric baton with the other hand. He held his breath and hid in a slightly bowed posture.
Behind the door.
However, just as he waited with bated breath for further sounds from outside, something was quietly changing in the dim room. The marble floor Chu Feng stepped on began to slowly change from blue-gray to scarlet, a color that looked like blood.
The viscous liquid spread out bit by bit from the gap in the floor in the center of the room, gradually flowing and spreading to the surroundings. The space in the room shook with a weak amplitude invisible to the naked eye, and the trace of moonlight projected into the room through the broken window was also stained.
A slight blush.
However, on the one hand, the light in the room was too dim, and on the other hand, Chu Feng's attention was entirely focused on the sounds coming from outside the door. For a moment, he was not aware of the changes that occurred in the room where he was.
At this time, Han Zhen, who was outside the door, suddenly stopped. He had been focusing his true energy in his eyes, and he immediately discovered that the Yin energy that had been gathered in the entire building began to boil and surge, and the center of all these violent fluctuations was
The point is in the room on the left front of the corridor where the attacker may be hiding.
What is inside? Is the other party planning to take action?
Han Zhen was thinking in his mind, but out of the corner of his eye he quickly glanced around the dark corridor. The next moment, he found a long metal object lying quietly not far from the unconscious person.
stick.
The size of the long stick was just right for use as a weapon. Although there were no bricks, it was easy to use, but a change was about to happen before him, and he had no time to be picky.
Thinking of this, Han Zhen took three steps and two steps at a time, ran to the unconscious man, bent down and picked up the iron rod in his hand.
But what Han Zhen didn't know was that he ran quickly in the corridor for a few seconds, and the sound of footsteps made Chu Feng, who was hiding behind the door, tense up.
The other party finally took action!
Chu Feng's narrow eyes narrowed, his body leaned back slightly from the forward bowing posture, and at the same time he also took half a step back, ready to attack at any time.
However, as Chu Feng's steps rose and fell, there was a strange texture on the ground where he landed. It was not the solid touch that one should have when stepping on marble floor tiles. Instead, it felt like the soles of the shoes were wrapped in some kind of sticky substance.
Feel.
The abnormality under his feet finally aroused Chu Feng's alert. He lowered his head and looked down, only to find that the floor of the entire room was covered with a layer of viscous liquid of unknown origin.
Due to the light, he could not judge the color of the liquid, but he knew clearly from the touch under his feet that it was definitely not water.
Chu Feng was sure that there was absolutely no such liquid on the floor when he first entered the room, so where did these things come out now? Thinking of this, he turned his head again and looked into the room behind him.
But when he looked at it, Chu Feng felt his scalp numb. It turned out that what was behind him was no longer the small ward of several square meters, but had turned into a huge cave with no end at all. The four sides of the cave were...
On the wall, the viscous liquid continued to slide down the wall. The rugged stone wall was strangely connected to the original wall near the door. It looked like a crappy set from a third-rate movie. Looking deeper into the cave
, it is a pitch black darkness with no end in sight.
