Chapter 276: Hospital Incident Rekindles 4
“If not ghosts, then what are they?”
Lin Shao Qing glanced speechlessly at Shi Feng, in his opinion, Shi Feng was just making excuses because his abilities were insufficient!
Shi Feng ignored him and walked directly towards those ghosts. Just then, Sang Chu and the others entered: “Shi Feng, Lin Shao Qing.”
“Master? How did you get in?”
Shi Feng heard Sang Chu’s voice and stopped, turning to look at her. He saw her leading a group of people over, looking somewhat curious.
Lin Shao Qing, with his usual sharp tongue, said: “Are you bringing so many people in to feed them to the enemy?”
Sang Chu: “What did you find here?”
Lin Shao Qing: “Look, these transparent things are clearly ghosts, but Shi Feng insists they aren’t, because his Soul Cutting Blade, which he uses to command his demon soul, can’t cut these little things.”
Sang Chu looked at Shi Feng. Seeing him nod, she walked towards him.
Shi Feng: “These things are very strange. They’re like ghosts, but they don’t have the Netherworld energy that ghosts possess. My demon soul’s Soul Cutting Blade can destroy anything with Netherworld energy, but it can’t touch these little things.”
Sang Chu: “Could they not be ghosts?”
“Mm.”
Shi Feng nodded. He trusted his demon soul implicitly, so there was only one possibility: what was in front of them was not a ghost.
Xue You: “I’ll take him to scout ahead. You all put on your protective suits.”
Xue You had knocked Gao Zhe unconscious at some point and was now holding him with one hand. Sang Chu: “What are you doing?”
“He can’t control it, but he’s already established a link with me. I can directly enter his brain and control the poisonous fog within his body.”
Hearing his explanation, Sang Chu shook her head helplessly: “Then be careful yourself. Safety first.”
“I know.”
Sang Chu had everyone check their equipment to ensure everything was in order before Xue You began to act.
White mist and black mist intertwined and spread, instantly filling the entire space. Sang Chu: “Everyone turn on your locators and slowly walk towards me. Stay together and don’t split up.”
They could still see where they were now, but if the black and white mist became heavier, that might not be the case.
So Sang Chu took out the Immortal Binding Rope and put it on their hands: “This rope won’t restrict your movements, but it can connect us all. Everyone must be careful.”
“Sister Sang, the tentacles inside me really want to come out.”
Xia Ru could normally control these tentacles, but now they were restless, and he was afraid they would go out of control within his body.
Sang Chu: “Then let them out. We’ll follow them.”
“Okay.”
Xia Ru regained his usual composure. After releasing all the tentacles, he said: “There’s a strong smell of blood in the air. Someone has probably died here.”
The tentacles’ senses were more acute than his. As soon as they came out, they smelled the blood. The scent flooded his nostrils, making him a little uncomfortable, but he still stated this calmly.
A smell of blood that only the tentacles could detect?
Sang Chu frowned slightly, a bad feeling spreading in her heart: “Xue You has already gone to scout. We’ll follow the tentacles and see where they want to go.”
At this moment, Mu Xue suddenly grabbed Sang Chu: “Sang Sang, I, I think I heard Aunt Jian crying?”
“Aunt Jian? Aunt Jian is also on the second floor?”
She had always thought Aunt Jian was on the third or fourth floor, as Aunt Jian’s condition was also very serious.
Lin Shao Qing: “Jian Xiu Ying? She’s not on the second floor. She’s on the third floor.”
But Mu Xue replied very firmly: “Sang Sang, I really heard Aunt Jian crying. It was very faint, and very frightening.”
She didn’t know how to describe the feeling, but it made her feel very uneasy.
Sang Chu: “Lin Shao Qing, tell me who is on the second floor.”
Lin Shao Qing thought for a moment and said: “On the second floor, there are Ma Si Yu, Xiao Bao Yu, Li Cai Lian, and about ten ordinary people.”
Mu Xue didn’t know what Sang Chu was thinking, but she knew that Sang Sang wouldn’t disbelieve her.
Sang Chu: “Xiao Xue, where did you hear the sound from?”
Mu Xue listened carefully, then pointed ahead: “It’s right up ahead!”
Xia Ru: “The tentacles also want to go forward!”
Sang Chu: “Then let’s go. Shi Feng, Lin Shao Qing, Zuo Xue Feng, you’ll cover the rear. Xia Ru and I will lead the way. Xiao Xue, Min Feng, you two stay in the middle. Everyone be careful.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Mu Xue walked in the middle with Lu Min Feng.
The tentacles led the way, charging forward excitedly.
Suddenly, Xue You returned with the unconscious Gao Zhe: “I didn’t find anything. Those floating in the air aren’t ghosts. I don’t know what they are for now, but those spirits are not a threat.”
“Mm, let’s go forward and take a look.”
“Okay.”
Xue You was still holding the unconscious Gao Zhe, not loosening his control over him.
‘Wuwuwu—’
A low, faint whimper came, indeed sounding like Jian Xiu Ying’s voice.
Upon hearing it, Mu Xue whispered into Sang Chu’s ear: “Sang Sang, it’s this sound! This is the sound I heard just now!”
Sang Chu: “I know. You stay with Lu Min Feng.”
“Mm.”
Lu Min Feng shielded Mu Xue with one hand, walking slowly behind Sang Chu and the others.
Inside the hospital room
Jian Xiu Ying, looking at the blood-covered Xiao Bao Yu, cried uncontrollably: “Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, wake up!”
“Wuwuwu”
“Mom shouldn’t have come to find you. It’s all Mom’s fault!”
Sang Chu stood outside the hospital room, looking at the mental tentacles emerging from Jian Xiu Ying’s body, flailing like demons, and felt a little intimidated.
However, the tentacles on Xia Ru’s body were very excited, as if they had seen some delicious food.
The tentacles, resembling octopus arms, drooled at the sight of the transparent mental tentacles, their mucus dripping onto the ground.
Xia Ru quickly retracted them. If they continued to be out, he would have vomited.
“Sister Sang, what do we do now? Should we go in?”
Sang Chu: “Xiao Xue, do you think we should go in?”
“Huh? You’re asking me? I don’t really want to go in. It feels a bit strange.”
Mu Xue looked at the flailing mental tentacles and had no desire to go in. Lu Min Feng: “A Chu, why don’t we let Xue You go in and scout the situation? If it’s not good, we can poison them unconscious first.”
Sang Chu looked at Xue You. Seeing him nod, Sang Chu said: “Xue You, after you go in, avoid those mental tentacles. I suspect this space was created by Aunt Jian. Go and see if Aunt Jian is still conscious.”
“Okay.”
Xue You instantly transformed into white mist and slipped through the door crack. He opened his optical computer, synchronizing the scene he saw. Mu Xue, with her hands covering her mouth in terror, managed to prevent herself from screaming out loud.
Lu Min Feng, beside her, reached out and covered her eyes, gently saying in her ear: “Don’t be afraid.”
In the optical computer, Jian Xiu Ying’s features were distorted and deformed, her hollow eyes were pitch black, and she blankly held the blood-covered Xiao Bao Yu.
Xia Ru: “How did Aunt Jian become like this? If she’s holding Xiao Bao like this, can we take her away and save Xiao Bao first?”
Lin Shao Qing: “It’s unlikely. Jian Xiu Ying becoming like this is probably related to her supernatural ability. She’s never been able to control her ability. She had an outburst before and killed many people in a daze. I’m afraid Sang Chu is right. The reason this second floor has become like this is probably due to her ability going berserk, and her ability going berserk is likely related to Xiao Bao Yu being severely injured.”
