Nightmare Apostle

Perhaps because the two sides had distanced themselves, Yang Xiao no longer heard the footsteps of that guy. He could only slowly chase in the direction where the footsteps finally disappeared. That was the corridor on the other side, an area that Yang Xiao had not searched yet.

At the same time, he did not forget the most critical task. He had to find the body of the rag doll and the rooms on both sides of the corridor where the body might be hidden.

Close to the left wall, Yang Xiao imitated the "bad" posture, stepped lightly, and held the kitchen knife in his right hand.

Passing many departments along the way, there were also some strange rooms. Not long after, Yang Xiao stopped and stared at the room in front of him and fell into thought.

This was a door painted sky blue, very wide, double-opening, and looked very solid. After walking for so long, this was the first time he had seen this style of door. Of course, what attracted him most was the sign hanging on the door:

Confession Room.

"Why would there be such a place in the hospital?" Yang Xiao frowned. In his cognition, the confession room should appear in a Catholic church.

There is a threshold in front of the door, made of wood. The black paint on it has peeled off, revealing the original wood color inside. In addition, there are two deep dents on the threshold, one on the left and one on the right, less than 1 meter apart, as if something often came in and out and pressed them out.

In connection with the background of the hospital, the first thing Yang Xiao thought of was the carts commonly used in hospitals to transport patients.

In other words, patients often come in and out of this confession room, and the so-called patients here are rag dolls, which successfully aroused Yang Xiao's curiosity.

The door is not locked, and there is a gap of two fingers between the two door panels. Turning sideways, Yang Xiao held his breath and looked inside through the gap.

The confession room is dim, but not completely black. The line of sight sweeps inch by inch, and some vague dark black outlines can be vaguely seen. It looks like several large cabinets placed against the wall, more than one person tall. What is chilling is that there is an operating table in the middle of the room.

Most of the operating table was covered by a blue medical screen, with less than one-third exposed. Yang Xiao suddenly had an idea that there might be a body lying on the operating table.

This was not a confession room, but a reformation room. Yang Xiao considered it again and again, but still did not push open the door. Judging from the feeling coming through the gap, the confession room was not very cold, and it would not be a place to hide a body. He did not need to take the risk.

In short, this place made people feel uneasy.

Yang Xiao turned and left, continuing to move along the side of the corridor, but just after he walked a distance, the door of the confession room behind him opened automatically without wind, until it was enough for a person to get out sideways.

Walking and observing all the way, Yang Xiao had a deeper understanding of the chaos of this hospital. Not far ahead was the end of the corridor. He had searched almost the entire third floor, and did not find a room that met the requirements. Next, he needed to make a choice, whether to go upstairs or downstairs.

Logically, the morgue should be on the first floor below the hospital, but common sense could not be used here.

In addition, there was one thing that always bothered him. Where did "Bad" go? Did it go upstairs or downstairs?

Just as Yang Xiao was thinking, suddenly, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he heard a very light footsteps, right behind him!

It was a completely subconscious reaction. Yang Xiao turned around and chopped down with a knife. This knife hit, but it didn't feel like chopping on a person, but it felt like chopping on a stone. Then he felt a pain in his abdomen and was knocked to the ground.

After falling on his back, he felt a gust of wind hitting his face. Yang Xiao pressed the wall with one hand and used the reaction force to roll sideways.

"Bang!"

The next second, a heavy flower pot hit him heavily in the previous position, and fragments and soil splashed everywhere, and a withered dead flower was exposed in front of Yang Xiao.

"It's the guy from before!"

Yang Xiao waved his knife in front of him randomly to prevent the other party from getting close, but the other party failed to hit him, turned around and ran, and the footsteps ran to the end of the corridor.

As soon as Yang Xiao got up, he heard a terrifying sound. The big boots made a muffled "tap tap" sound on the cold concrete floor. Turning his head, he saw a figure rushing towards him from the elevator at a very fast speed, holding a pair of large scissors in his hand, which was intimidating.

It was "Frog"!

Rotten Eye Ghost!

There was no time to think. The other party had already discovered him. It was useless to pretend not to move at this moment. The other party would kill him if he rushed over.

He needed to get out of the sight range of Rotten Eye Ghost immediately, and then pretend not to move and hide.

Hiding in a nearby room is the fastest way, but it won't work. "Frog" just can't see, but it's not stupid. Once blocked in the room by the other party, the consequences are hard to say.

Yang Xiao immediately ran forward. Not far ahead was the end of the corridor. There was a corner with two stairs up and down, and the space was also large.

The guy who attacked him before ran there.

"Trample."

"Trample."

"Trample."

The sound of boots behind him was like a death horn. At the last moment, Yang Xiao finally ran into the corner and escaped from the field of vision of "Frog". He leaned against the wall with his back, and pressed himself against the wall behind the corner, not daring to move.

Sure enough, the next second, "Frog" rushed over, waving a pair of large scissors, and stabbed the wall opposite Yang Xiao.

"Swish

As the blade was slowly pulled out, Yang Xiao secretly swallowed his saliva, and saw a terrifying blade suddenly appear on the originally flat wall.

If this knife had stabbed Yang Xiao, he would have been carried away directly.

"Frog" was less than 5 meters away from Yang Xiao, just standing there, his body motionless, his huge head like a radar,

Slowly rotating, the blood-red and terrifying eyes scanned the surroundings bit by bit, looking for Yang Xiao's location.

At this moment, Yang Xiao finally saw the whole "frog" clearly. It was wearing a dirty white coat and was stained with blood. Some of the blood was still very fresh. When the tip of his nose twitched slightly, he could smell a faint smell of blood. taste.

Yang Xiao had seen the lower body of "Frog" while hiding under the bed before. At that time, his lower body did not have so much blood. In other words,

During this time, "Frog" killed people, and at least one unlucky guy died under "Frog's" scissors.

Time passed by, and the "frog" showed no sign of leaving. This guy was not stupid and knew that someone was hiding nearby.

The blood-stained scissors were held upside down in the hands of the "frog", reflecting the cold light in the dim light. Yang Xiao had no doubt that as long as he showed the slightest flaw, he would be brutally dismembered.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move. Although there is no danger for the time being, problems will inevitably arise over time. Yang Xiao is also thinking at this moment. He does not move his neck, but his eyes keep looking around. The person who sneaked up on him before The guy also ran here, not much faster than him, but when he ran here, the man's footsteps disappeared.

Yang Xiao suspected that the guy hadn't gone far, and was probably hiding nearby like him, or even... .right next to him.

But now both of them are trapped. "Frog" has clearly known that there is someone nearby. According to Yang Xiao's experience in previous missions, at least one person must be found, or in other words, killed, before the ghost will leave.

But...:.Where can that guy hide?

His eyes kept searching nearby, and now Yang Xiao was obviously at a disadvantage compared to that guy, because he came later, and the guy who ran to hide before him must have heard his footsteps, and even if he couldn't accurately locate him, he could still know him. approximate location.

But both of them were being targeted. Even if the other party had a plot, he would not dare to make a big move, otherwise he would be targeted by the ghost and he would die.

After this period of observation, Yang Xiao also discovered some flaws in this ghost. Its head kept rotating at a very slow speed. In other words, when its head turned completely to the other side, Yang Xiao was facing away from it. This period of time lasts about 10 seconds.

These 10 seconds are not long or short. He can take advantage of this time to move slowly, only moving a few meters at a time. As long as there is enough time, he has a chance to escape. He can go up or down the stairs. As long as If he can escape into the blind spot of the ghost's field of vision, he wins.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao frowned. With his peripheral vision, he inadvertently glanced at the stairs leading to the next level. He remembered that there was originally a dirty trash can at the corner of the stairs. It was made of stainless steel, but now , it was still dirty there, and there were some garbage wrapped in black plastic bags on the ground, but...the trash can was missing.

This discovery instantly made Yang Xiao nervous, reminding him of the flowerpot that disappeared inexplicably not long ago.

He now knows that the flower pot was moved away by someone. It might be "bad", or it might be a shady teammate in this mission, but to him, it's all the same. Now the trash can has disappeared. , must have been stolen, in other words, that guy was hiding at the corner of the stairs!

After figuring this out, Yang Xiao instantly figured out what the other person wanted to do. This guy knew his approximate location and wanted to throw a trash can at him, smash him out, let the ghost catch him, and then take the opportunity to run away, killing two birds with one stone.

Yang Xiao's response method was also very simple. When the ghost turned around next time, he did not walk sideways against the wall like ordinary people were accustomed to. Instead, he took the risk and walked toward the middle. His steps were fast but his voice was very soft. When the ghost turned around again, he Turning his head back, he had walked forward 4 or 5 meters and reached the handrail of the downward stairs.

I have to say that this is a bold attempt. After all, the ghost is closer here. Staring at the ghost with bad eyes only about 3 meters away from him,

It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid, but at this moment he could only take a gamble.

The other party picked up the trash can, and the position was condescending, but he didn't throw it out yet. He was also predicting Yang Xiao's position, which the two of them knew well.

Half a minute passed, and when the rotten-eyed ghost was about to turn around again and face Yang Xiao, there was a sudden burst of wind, and then a trash can half a man's height was thrown over from the air, hitting Yang Xiao with a "bang" The wall where I hid before.

The other party controlled the time just right. The next second, the bad-eyed ghost saw the trash can and immediately rushed over at an extremely fast speed. He waved the big scissors in his hand and cut the flying trash can in half with one knife. He was cutting and stabbing nearby, and this scene could make Yang Xiao, who was not far away, sweat. If he was still hiding where he was, he would be dead now.

While the ghost was attracted to the trash can, there were footsteps running upstairs from the corner. Without a single hit, the guy slipped away.

After venting his anger, the rotten-eyed ghost seemed to have found a new target and quickly ran towards the other end of the corridor.

"tread."

"tread."

"tread."

The dull footsteps got farther and farther until they disappeared at the end of the corridor. From the sound, it seemed that they ran around the corner near the elevator and entered another corridor on the same floor.

After remaining still for half a minute, the footsteps did not sound again. Yang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at the "dismembered" trash can at his feet. He still couldn't help but feel scared. He now knew the identity of that person. A new guess is that this guy doesn’t look like a “bad” guy, he should be a teammate who entered the mission with him.

This person ran upstairs, so he went downstairs. Otherwise, if he chased him now, it was hard to say whether he would be ambushed again. This guy was a sinister guy.

But soon after Yang Xiao walked down the stairs, he suddenly heard a scream from the direction above his head. The scream was heartbreaking. It was conceivable that he was suffering from extreme pain. The scream lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped.

Above his head... Yang Xiao judged that the sound should be from another floor, that is, from the 4th floor. From the direction and position, the most likely one was the guy who attacked him just now.

"It's his fault!!"

Yang Xiao's depression was swept away. He thought that the guy rushed upstairs in a panic and ran into another ghost head-on.

This was a senior who used his life to explore the way for him. He reminded Yang Xiao that there was another ghost hiding on the 4th floor. The reason why "Frog" was excluded was because Yang Xiao was very sure that the big scissors would kill people in a moment and cut them into pieces.

There is a ghost hiding on the 4th floor. The whereabouts of "Frog" is unknown, but it is most likely on the 3rd floor. In other words, there is only one ghost on the 2nd floor and below.

But because the companions do not trust each other and cannot see each other, the danger from the companions is even more terrible, not to mention that there are "bad" hiding among them.

In this case, it is undoubtedly dangerous and stupid to take the initiative to contact Qu Muzhi. Now the best result for the two is not to meet.

Coming to the corridor on the 2nd floor, the layout here is slightly different from that on the 3rd floor. There are fewer rooms and doors on this floor, but the area of ​​each room is larger.

After finding a room at random and confirming that it is safe inside, Yang Xiao hid in it, took out his mobile phone at the same time, and communicated with the doll: "Frog, Keke, and Hu, do they have a fixed patrol order, such as the floors they often go to?"

"No, they may go anywhere. Frog is the fastest, and Hu, I remember it is the slowest." The doll reminded.

"What abilities do Hu and Keke have?" Yang Xiao asked.

"I don't remember, don't leave them behind, when you meet them, I... I might remember." Ragdoll was worried about being abandoned, so he added.

Yang Xiao sighed in his heart, if he really met them, he might be dead, who knows what strange abilities those two guys have.

Listening carefully, there was no movement in the corridor outside, so he put away his phone and left quietly. Before leaving, he restored the door and walked along the side of the corridor, observing the emergency department, dermatology and venereal disease department, pediatric internal medicine department, and some rooms without signs and unknown uses. After checking a few rooms, Yang Xiao found that these unsigned rooms were useless, and many of them were even empty.

He walked very slowly and lightly, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, changing his route from time to time, from walking along the left wall to walking along the right wall, and stopping for ten seconds to listen to the movement nearby to prevent being followed.

Having to guard against both people and ghosts, Yang Xiao was on high alert for this mission. Suddenly, he heard a sound while on high alert. He followed the sound and found a room not far to his right. There was a sign on the door: Canteen.

Yang Xiao was confused. How could there be a canteen in the hospital building? And judging from the newness of the sign, this canteen has been here for at least 20 years.

The door of the canteen was ajar, and the sound of robbers came from inside. It sounded like someone was moving things.

Looking inside through the crack in the door, Yang Xiao first saw a few shelves, on which were sparsely placed various snacks, and another row of drinks, many of which were brands that Yang Xiao had never seen before. The packaging looked broken and old, and it felt cheap.

The sound came from behind a few rows of shelves. Through the gaps between the shelves, Yang Xiao saw a few large freezers placed against the wall.

Some messy frozen goods were turned out of the freezers and thrown aside.

"Freezer?" Yang Xiao frowned. He could vaguely see the outline of the freezer. It was large enough to hide a person.

It was also very cold inside the freezer. Yang Xiao was not sure whether the body of the rag doll was hidden inside the freezer. The situation inside was unclear, and he did not want to go in. However, if the ghost found the body of the rag doll first, or if another teammate found the body of the rag doll on him before him, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Without pushing the door rashly, Yang Xiao observed through the crack of the door. Sure enough, he found the trap. There was a mineral water bottle on the half-open door. As long as the door was pushed in, the mineral water bottle would fall to the ground and a warning sound would be issued.

Using the kitchen knife in his hand, Yang Xiao first stabilized the water bottle, and then pushed the door a little bit. Soon, after he took off the mineral water bottle, the door was about to open to a degree that could accommodate an adult passing sideways. The next second, an accident happened. There was a "bang" sound, and something behind the door fell to the ground.

"Gulululu"

Another beverage bottle with half a bottle of water gurgled out from behind the door, and Yang Xiao immediately understood that the other party had set up two traps, one bright and one dark. The bright one was on the door, and there was a bottle hidden behind the door.

Hearing the noise, the choking sound stopped immediately, and the room fell into a dead silence.

But Yang Xiao was not very panicked. From the analysis of the set traps, the other party was a human, not a ghost, which also gave Yang Xiao the courage to communicate.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a human, passing by." Yang Xiao immediately changed his position after saying this, guarding against possible sneak attacks.

But the other party was very alert and didn't say a word.

"You are also looking for your body, right? I may be able to help you." Yang Xiao changed positions again, this time retreating directly to the door, "I don't want to be your enemy. There is no limit to the number of places in this mission, as long as you can survive, There is no need for everyone to fight to the death.”

A few seconds later, a very young voice came from behind the shelf, "How do you prove that you are not 'bad'?" "

The other party was a woman, who sounded like she was in her early 30s. As long as we could communicate, it would be easy. Yang Xiao immediately replied: "If I am bad,

I just locked you in, and then I attracted the ghost, and you were left to die. "

While communicating with the woman, Yang Xiao also typed on the mobile phone to ask the ragdoll. The ragdoll told him clearly that the frog was still fuzzy after coughing. The three of them could not speak and communicate. As for "bad", it was the same as them. The guy is very cunning, but the doll has no idea whether the "bad" is a boy or a girl, how old he is, or what he looks like.

The woman opposite was worried that Yang Xiao was "bad". Similarly, Yang Xiao was also doubting her identity. The reason why he retreated out of the door was because he was worried about being blocked in the room by ghosts.

"I don't trust you." When the woman spoke again, her position changed again. She was also on guard against Yang Xiao, "Please leave immediately, otherwise...

.Don’t blame me for being rude! "

"Okay, then I'll lock the door. You can play with yourself, dear." Yang Xiao didn't talk nonsense. He was about to close the door after saying this. This frightened the woman. She quickly changed her words and said that she hoped to invite Yang Xiao to come in and talk. Don't Lock the door.

In fact, Yang Xiao was just bluffing. He didn't have the key to lock the door, and the lock on this door looked rusty. It was hard to tell whether he could insert the key.

"You are also looking for the body, right?" Yang Xiao hid behind the door and asked in a low voice, "Where is your body hidden?"

"In...in a narrow place full of the aroma of food." The woman hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
