NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 17.2
The surrounding vines were like blood-thirsty beasts, unable to find a high-decibel sound, and even began to flail around randomly, making no attempt to conceal their violence.
Yu Qing took a breath and carefully backed away with the young man in the Tang clothes. Finally, he fell back to the nearby 104.
Click – the door closed, and the environment gained a brief moment of peace.
Blood was still oozing from the young man’s back. He held on to the doorframe tightly and carefully observed the corridor through the small glass on the door.
It wasn’t until the vines reluctantly retreated back to the wall that they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The man looked at Yu Qing in surprise: “Aren’t you mute?”
Yu Qing: “…You don’t stutter either.”
“Huh?” The young man paused. A ruffian smile formed as he said angrily: “Didn’t I learn it from you? Otherwise, I will have to guard the morgue. Oh, yes, my name is Qian Lai.”
Seeing the young man reaching out to him, Yu Qing thought for a while and shook hands: “My name is… 3.1415926.”
Qian Lai: “…”
“It’s not safe here,” Yu Qing said again. “Let’s talk about it when we go out.”
After saying that, he motioned for the other person to sit down and shared what he had found: “The customs clearance requirement for this dungeon is to find the key to go out. I saw the door to the hall is locked from the inside. There is no keyhole. What is needed is probably an access card.”
He observed this person for a while, responsible and brainy, always following the principle of “let’s live together, let’s die together.” Maybe… a little bit of metaphysics, and was a trustworthy teammate.
“This thing is usually in the hands of security guards,” Qian Lai analyzed. “But when we walked around the hall, we only saw the dean, male doctor, and female nurse.”
“Neither the male doctor nor the female nurse had them, so maybe…”
“At the dean’s place,” Yu Qing finished his sentence, the cold sweat on his palms subsiding, and his heartbeat gradually returning to normal.
He took a moment to think, then opened the system mall, bought a slightly cheaper topical medicine, and said, “We can try to find the dean’s office first… take off your clothes.”
Qian Lai: “???”
The live broadcast: [???]
[Where is the BOSS? What about the black mist? Oh no, the green hat!!! Yesterday, the host called someone “husband”. Today, he is going to let others take off their clothes. Oh no, no, no! good!! So excited!]
[I heard it with my own ears. The Black Mist BOSS will be angry. I’m kind of expecting the host to flip over. What’s going on?]
[Call BOSS! Call the BOSS, woohoo hoohoo——]
Bang— Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, as if some huge stone had hit the ground.
The violent sound coincided with the terrifying hallucination. Yu Qing’s fingertips trembled, and a deep uneasiness rose in his heart. Then, the potion in his hand was snatched away.
His hands were completely wrapped in a cold air, unable to move. Then, the bottle of medicine was lifted up by an invisible force, and crashed— it all fell on Qian Lai’s back!
“Ah… um!” As soon as the cry started, Qian Lai remembered the rule of “no loud noises” again. He raised his head and was about to ask Yu Qing what he wanted to do when he saw the whole room lit up with scarlet light.
The rapid “dididi” sound was deafening, and the alarm played like a reminder: “The angel has targeted the latest sacrifice, a male host with long white hair whose name is all numbers! The one who is 176cm tall.”
Yu Qing: “???”
“Please do well. Get ready, we will visit on time at twelve o’clock tonight~”
.
Da, da, da— It was night, and in the ward, the second hand was spinning one by one.
There was no moonlight at night in the dungeon, and the darkness was so thick that he couldn’t see his fingers. It was so quiet and disturbing.
Step, step, step— there were footsteps passing through the corridor: “Run quickly… run quickly… the red drawers are filled with blood, and the big white bed will eat people…”
“Run quickly… run quickly…”
A girl’s singing suddenly sounded in the quiet corridor.
The sound came faintly through the heavy door. Yu Qing’s heart moved, and he wanted to be bold enough to go out and take a look.
However, his body seemed to be pressed by some heavy coldness, and he could not break away no matter what. His knuckles were heavy, breathing was difficult, and even his eyelids could not be opened. He could only face the boundless darkness alone.
Then, he felt the bed beneath him was slowly collapsing.
The touch gradually became soft and weak, and finally, he was in nothingness, and his limbs could not find any fulcrum.
Completely submerged…
The air-conditioning around him became heavier and heavier, and the humidity became thicker and thicker. The sticky sound of chirping and gurgling slipped through his ears from time to time, as if there was some danger hidden in the darkness. Suddenly, Yu Qing shuddered violently!
A long, ice-cold thing was spreading over his ankles, passing over his legs, snaking upwards, and gradually… tying up his waist…
