Feng Congqian and Nan Yuanman moved swiftly, simultaneously stepping back to dodge Sun Jiajun's hand.
Sun Jiajun's hand missed its target, his body stiffened for a moment, and his face, hidden in the darkness, twisted for a fleeting instant before quickly regaining its anxious expression: "Weren't you people sent by the outsiders who discovered we were missing?"
Sun Jiajun snapped, "What are you dawdling for?! Come with me to rescue them! It'll be too late if we're any later!"
Feng Congqian looked at him warily and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The burning ghost stared at Sun Jiajun for a while, then suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this the first of the four men who broke in a few days ago?!"
Unable to hear the words of the burned ghost, Sun Jiajun hurriedly said, "Of course I'm a human! My name is Sun Jiajun! I'm Feng Jingcheng's brother!"
He quickly explained, "We arrived at Youlan Hospital three days ago. At first, nothing seemed amiss; we just thought it was an ordinary, abandoned hospital. But things started to get strange when Xie Yifei found his way to the director's office!"
"As we walked down the corridor, we would always hear clattering footsteps behind us, and the tightly closed ward doors would suddenly open! We could also hear people talking inside!"
"We found it strange, and when we tried to leave, we realized we were just going around in circles! No matter what we did, we couldn't get off the fifth floor!"
Sun Jiajun's face was filled with terror, as if he had remembered something horrible: "While we were racking our brains to figure out a way to leave, the innermost ward on the fifth floor suddenly opened, and a ghost covered in blood, holding a chainsaw, ran out and chased after us!"
"Feng Jingcheng, Xiao Qidong, and Xie Yifei have been captured! That ghost wants to eat them! Come with me to save them!"
Feng Congqian and Nan Yuanman exchanged a quick glance. Nan Yuanman spoke first, urgently saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier! What are we waiting for! Lead the way!"
Sun Jiajun turned and ran outside: "They've been caught in the hospital garden! Come with me!"
The burned ghost stood there, scratching its head in confusion, muttering to itself, "Are there chainsaw ghosts in the hospital? How come I didn't know that?"
Weren't all his fellow human beings burned to death?
Besides, where would a hospital get a chainsaw?
The burning ghost was dumbfounded, confused, and decided to follow along to join the fun.
Feng Congqian and Nan Yuanman followed Sun Jiajun through the hospital corridor on the first floor, and from the safety passage at the end of the corridor, they arrived at the hospital garden.
All the flowers, trees and shrubs in the garden had withered, and the flower beds were full of dead grass, making it look particularly desolate.
From afar, Feng Congqian and Nan Yuanman saw several figures sitting against the fountain altar, their heads drooping, their fate unknown.
Beside them, there was indeed a blood-soaked, chainsaw-wielding, exceptionally ferocious demon guarding them, pacing back and forth with the chainsaw.
Sun Jiajun was too scared to approach, and only dared to point to that spot from a distance, saying in a trembling voice, "Feng Jingcheng and the others are right there, that evil spirit is still guarding them."
Feng Congqian glanced at Feng Jingcheng, then turned to look at Nan Yuanman, who nodded at him subtly.
The person sitting on the fountain platform was indeed her cheap sixth brother, Feng Jingcheng, whom she had never met.
The ghost who had been burned alive stood behind them, tiptoeing to look. When he saw what was happening, he was even more confused. He scratched his head and said, "This isn't a ghost from my hospital."
Nan Yuanman's ears twitched. He was about to call Xiaocao and Zhuangzhuang back when he saw Sun Jiajun take a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision. He turned to them and said, "I'm going to lure the ghost away. Feng Jingcheng and the others are in your hands to be rescued!"
"If...if I don't come back, please take good care of my mom!"
Before Nan Yuanman and Feng Congqian could react, he charged out yelling and shouting arrogantly at the evil spirit, "You bastard, come here! Your grandpa is right here! Come and eat me if you dare!"
Enraged by Sun Jiajun's arrogant demeanor, the demon pacing back and forth charged at him with a chainsaw.
Sun Jiajun ran away yelling "Ahhh!" again.
The burning ghost stared in disbelief: "This guy is even more daring than me!"
Feng Congqian and Nan Yuanman exchanged a glance, then got up and quickly ran towards the fountain where Feng Jingcheng and the other two were.
As soon as they stepped into the fountain area, a gray-black mist suddenly rose around them, and Feng Congqian, who was originally following Nan Yuanman, disappeared instantly.
Feng Congqian's vision blurred, and the dilapidated garden before him instantly transformed into an antique-style mansion. An elderly man with a weathered face, wearing a dark blue jacket, was holding a plate and smiling at him: "Little Qian, what are you standing there for?"
Feng Congqian paused for a moment when he saw the old man: "Grandpa?"
On the other side.
Nan Yuanman noticed Feng Congqian's disappearance the moment she did. She stopped and calmly took Xiao Hong out of her small handbag, opened the coffin lid, and released her grandfather.
As soon as Old Master Nan came out, he took a deep, comfortable breath in the yin energy, stretched, and then turned to look at Nan Yuanman with a grin that resembled a chrysanthemum, calling her indistinctly, "Manman."
"Grandpa, we're probably in a formation right now. It's probably the Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Formation you mentioned before." Nan Yuanman pouted, a little unhappy. "Grandpa, someone's plotting against us. We have to teach them a lesson! Let them see why the flowers are so red!"
Nan Yuanman wasn't stupid. After entering the hospital, she only sensed yin energy, not ghostly energy, which told her that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, since everyone in this hospital was burned to death, the ghostly aura inside should be much stronger than what can be seen outside. Not only should there be ghostly aura, but also resentment from those who died violent deaths.
As it turned out, the ghostly aura inside was not as strong as what was seen outside; instead, there was quite a bit of yin energy.
Not to mention, she and Feng Congqian had been traveling for so long, and they had only encountered one ghost. The other ghosts seemed to have vanished without a trace, which was abnormal and did not match the dangerous omen she had calculated.
Then, when the ugly uncle suddenly appeared and offered to take them to rescue Feng Jingcheng, it confirmed her suspicions—someone deliberately used Feng Jingcheng to lure her here, and that person's target was her.
After all, she was young. When a normal person sees a child in a hospital, their first reaction is, "What is a child doing here?" Instead, they rush to take them to find someone without even asking any questions.
Fearing they might harm Feng Jingcheng, Nan Yuanman and Feng Congqian pretended to go along with him, acting as if they were in a hurry to find someone. Together, they first located the hidden Feng Jingcheng to confirm his safety.
The moment Nan Yuanman stepped into the garden, he sensed an abnormal fluctuation in the air and quickly summoned the grass back and stuffed it into Feng Congqian's pocket.
This is to prevent such a situation from occurring.
Old Master Nan thumped his chest loudly: "I'll take care of it!"
Grandpa Nan sniffed left and right, and just as he turned around to search along the weakest point of the formation, Nan Yuanman's vision blurred, the surrounding scenery changed, and her body suddenly shrank again, appearing in a child seat.
Sitting in front of her was a big brother with a bright, sunny smile. He was scooping her some porridge with a spoon and said in a very gentle voice, "Come on, open your mouth wide, ah—!"
Nan Yuanman stared blankly at the big brother in front of her who was laughing so carelessly.
Isn't this... her sixth brother, Feng Jingcheng?
