Chapter 14
Running all the way to the dean's office, Shen Yunzhe rushed in, locked the door, and pulled the dusty curtains.
There are still two hours until dawn. If he is not mistaken, the shadows during the day will not be so lethal, and he can still hold on.
Now he had to endure it and gamble on how strong his life was and how long it would take for him to die after being eroded by the shadow.
No one has entered the dean's office for three years. There is dust everywhere and some footprints on the ground. Qin Chao and his team must have come in to investigate. However, there is too much and too complicated information in the dean's office, so they did not get much useful information after investigating.
I hope Wan Cen’s information was not taken away by them.
Compared with ordinary people, he knew better which information was more important. Forensic doctors were law enforcement officers, and the nature of their work was closely related to police operations. They could quickly pick out what they wanted from the pile of messy information. Without even opening it, Shen Yunzhe simply tucked the document under his arm.
You can't read the information in this dangerous area. You have to find a way to get through this night first. It won't be too late to read it tomorrow morning.
Pulling open the dusty curtains, Shen Yunzhe lay on the windowsill and looked down. After determining the landing point, he flipped out of the window and jumped down little by little.
People who play extreme sports have good physical strength and balance. After synchronization, Shen Yunzhe has the awareness of an extreme sports athlete, but his physical fitness cannot keep up. He dare not start from the roof casually. Fortunately, this is only the third floor, and he can go down safely with the help of the protruding fulcrum.
After landing, Shen Yunzhe ran forward. He had to find a safe place to spend the last two hours.
But the whole hospital was filled with shadows. The huge hospital was filled with people, whether they were doctors, nurses or patients.
Shen Yunzhe suspected that the previous safe house was the hospital's distribution room. Under normal circumstances, no one would enter the distribution room except the staff on duty. It was estimated that the people in the distribution room were all alive, so they could stay there safely for three or four days.
It’s not so easy to find such a place again.
He ran to a lamp and watched the shadow under his feet being turned into a small dot by the direct light. After making sure that he could spot a shadow coming towards him, Shen Yunzhe took out his mobile phone from his pocket and watched the barrage in the live broadcast again after a long time.
[Finally, you've been exposed as a fake doctor. Let's see how you run now.]
[Are you reading the comments? I'll tell you what to do. Once you're corrupted by a shadow, you'll be chased by it. The shadows chasing you are the same dead players.]
[That night, all players were invaded by shadows, but only one died, making the number even again.]
[Don't worry, no player can avoid the shadow chasing them. This is the penalty for violating rule ⑤.]
The difference between dying early and dying late.
Shen Yunzhe stared at the barrage of comments with a calm expression. He didn't want to refute, nor did he want to turn off the barrage of comments directly like he did in the previous times. The words were reflected in his eyes. This strange calmness made the audience watching the live broadcast a little uncomfortable.
It's only been a while since we last met. When did he become so quiet?
It's good news that no one died except Zhu Xin.
[Stop struggling. You're so frightened just because of this piece of news. You don't even know if it's true or not. Aren't you afraid that Wan Cen is lying to you?]
The ghosts in this hospital are very deceptive.
Let him go. I love seeing their faces full of hope and then suddenly falling into hell. It's so satisfying.
[You abstained from the previous vote, but everyone else did. They all voted for you. How pitiful! You were abandoned by everyone. But it's because we like you that we haven't gotten rid of you yet.]
Shen Yunzhe looked at the barrage and glanced at the current game difficulty, which had already soared to over 5.
The difficulty of the game is the thing that best reflects the audience's preferences. They must hate themselves to death to set the game difficulty so high.
Shen Yunzhe turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket. He suddenly noticed a problem.
If it is as the audience said, people who are invaded by shadows will be hunted down by shadows, and now all of them have been invaded because they can't find a safe house.
According to the order of death and time of death, those who violate rule ⑤ will be chased by shadows, but they will only chase one player at a time.
Why hasn't Shen Yunzhe been chased by the shadow despite the difficulty level being 5?
Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhe turned around and ran in a certain direction.
There is only one possibility... before Shen Yunzhe was invaded by the shadows, those shadows went to hunt down another player.
The player wasn't dead yet, so the shadow hadn't re-targeted itself to hunt him down.
Four players, an even number.
It's almost the sixth day. If you can't complete the task within seven days, the game will automatically fail.
Time is of the essence, and no one else should die.
After running through the diagnosis and treatment building and arriving at the inpatient building, Shen Yunzhe heard a scream before he could determine the range of light and shadow around him. The scream was mixed with sobbing. She must have been in great pain. She kept crying and wailing, and even her voice was out of tune, and her cry for help was choked in her throat.
Yang Siwei, the girl who was dragged in and stabbed by her boyfriend.
"Yang Siwei, don't let go!" Le Jia grabbed her arms and hung her body.
As he got closer, Shen Yunzhe saw the current situation. There was a small hole under Yang Siwei's feet. It was the drainage ditch of the hospital. At most, a child could fit in it, but Yang Siwei squeezed in with great force as if something was pulling her down.
Her leg had gone down, and the edge was stuck on her thigh, scraping off a layer of flesh and bleeding.
If she is left alone, she will soon be pulled in by the shadow, her bones broken and her internal organs squeezed out.
"Ah, ah!" Her screams and cries were only interjections.
"Hold on!" Shen Yunzhe ran over quickly. Le Jia was obviously frightened by him, with surprise and suspicion in his eyes. Shen Yunzhe didn't care. He just lay on the ground and looked at Yang Siwei's thigh which was stuck and had a layer of flesh and blood cut through it.
Even if they could hold her back, what would happen? Yang Siwei had already lost a lot of blood, and if she continued in this state, she would die at any time.
"I..." Yang Siwei moved her pale lips and spoke in a tiny voice, "I don't want to die."
"I don't want to die yet, but I can't drag you down with me."
"Sister Le, let go and leave me alone."
Only then did Shen Yunzhe realize what Le Jia meant by "don't let go".
"Thank you, thank you Sister Le, I..."
Her legs sank another inch, and her screams suppressed her voice, which was so faint that it was almost inaudible. More blood spurted out. Le Jia cried and pulled her, clenching her hands until they turned white, but she refused to let go.
Shen Yunzhe took two steps back, looked at the shadows around him, and finally stepped under a street lamp to make his shadow a small dot. Then he began to take off his white coat and threw it hard to the ground.
Le Jia didn't notice Shen Yunzhe's departure at all, or she thought Shen Yunzhe would leave.
Not many people are willing to help others when their lives are threatened.
"Hey!" Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke.
Le Jia was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Shen Yunzhe with tears in her eyes.
"My game difficulty is 5, which means I'm five times more attractive to ghosts than the average player. You have to find a way to make Shadow show up." Shen Yunzhe said, "Once Shadow sees me, he'll definitely abandon Yang Siwei and chase me."
"Shen Yunzhe?"
"Hurry up! She'll die if the stalemate continues!"
Le Jia wiped away her tears. For the first time, she let go of her hand and hurriedly took out her cell phone from her pocket. She quickly turned on the flashlight and shone the flashlight into the gap in the gutter amid Yang Siwei's screams. The light lengthened the shadow and shone through the gap.
An elongated shadow floated out, and Yang Siwei's screams became quieter and quieter, but Le Jia found that the force pulling her down also disappeared.
Le Jia took the opportunity to drag Yang Siwei out. The girl fainted on the ground, her legs covered in blood and she could no longer walk.
Three shadows flew towards Shen Yunzhe, and Shen Yunzhe immediately turned his back to the light source and ran away. He deliberately chose the route and light source, and with his back to the light, the shadows were right under his feet.
Le Jia watched Shen Yunzhe running. She hugged the unconscious Yang Siwei and whispered softly, "Why?"
Why?
Because: Forensic pathologists are also police officers.
Shen Yunzhe didn't dare to use his climber ability to climb the building directly, because the lights were on in the building and his shadow would be projected downstairs. Once his shadow was caught, he would be finished. He shouldn't have entered the building either, because the building was full of lights and it would be difficult to keep his shadow in front of him.
But Shen Yunzhe had to go into the building.
Shen Yunzhe rushed into the side door of the inpatient building, closed the door and even pulled down the security door. He didn't know if this could block the shadows, so he could only go upstairs as quickly as possible. Fortunately, there were too many lights on the floor besides the stairs, so his shadow did not deviate too much.
On the fourth floor of the inpatient building, the dense shadows were still there, with only the black outlines neatly stuck to the wall, as if countless people were queuing to look at him. Shen Yunzhe didn't care about these at all. He even felt that with these shadows there, his own shadow might be blocked by other shadows.
When his throat was strangled, Shen Yunzhe knew that he was thinking too well.
An invisible pair of hands pinched his neck, but Shen Yunzhe saw nothing, only air in front of him. He tried to look at his feet, but his feet were covered with dense shadows blurred together. He couldn't judge what happened to his own shadow, so he could only retreat backwards along the force that was pinching him.
Fortunately, this is his destination.
Shen Yunzhe stretched out his hand and used his last bit of strength to push open the door of Ward 404. The moment the door opened, his throat was loosened and Shen Yunzhe fell directly in.
There were clearly visible pinch marks on his throat. Shen Yunzhe sat on the ground coughing and retching because of the strong feeling of suffocation.
The door behind him slowly closed, and Wan Cen, with his mouth sewn shut, sat on the hospital bed and looked at him.
The bet was right.
Ward 404 is the real safe house... This is where everything started, and the ghost doctors and nurses will deliberately avoid it even when they are making rounds.
I hope the time gained will be enough for Le Jia to take Yang Siwei away.
