Chapter 26
At the beginning of the fifth day, the fourth person died.
After vomiting and crying, the remaining people sat quietly in the restaurant area, everyone's expressions were heavy and looked lifeless.
"Hold on a little longer, today is the fifth day, and we will leave in two days." Ding Yue came out to boost morale.
Lu Ronghua covered his face. "Someone's bound to die. We're still not safe. How can we avoid this? Are we just going to wait like this?"
"Even if we make it to the seventh day, we might not be able to get out," Shen Yunzhe said calmly. "Don't forget, we're employees of the Curiosity Exhibition Hall. I asked the chef, and he said we pawned our own body parts to get this job. In other words, even if seven days pass, our body parts are still being held here."
Everyone was stunned. They finally remembered that before Liu Yaran died, Shen Yunzhe once said that he had good news and bad news.
"We're all going to die?" Lu Feng cried loudly. As a newcomer, he had experienced too much trauma. "After my body parts were taken away, I can't leave? How could this be? I didn't do anything bad, so why am I being punished?"
Ding Yue quickly comforted him, "It's not you who has a problem coming here, it's the person who hurt you who is wrong."
"I don't want to be like Liu Yaran. She, she... Ugh!" Lu Feng covered his mouth and rushed out of the restaurant and ran into the bathroom. After a while, the sound of vomiting was heard.
Everyone present sat there in silence, no one went over to look.
If he still can't accept the reality at this point, no one can help him.
"Shen Yunzhe, you said before that there was good news. What is it?" Qiulan asked.
Shen Yunzhe fished a map from his pocket and placed it on the table, pushing it across the table. "I found the director's office and his body, but he didn't have the key to the doll house. He only had this map. Luckily, the location of the warehouse was marked on it."
Everyone was excited and they quickly started looking at the map.
Duan Ziyao opened his eyes wide in shock, "The warehouse is below the staff dormitory?"
"How could that be? We searched all the staff dormitories on the first day and didn't see any doors at all." Qiulan was a little surprised.
Lu Ronghua shook his head. "No, although the warehouse is below the staff dormitory, the door shouldn't be inside the staff dormitory. We didn't see the chef go to the staff dormitory to get ingredients. We stayed here day and night for the past two days."
Shen Yunzhe nodded. "The entrance to the warehouse should be at the intersection of the staff dormitory and the restaurant. It's a place we didn't pay much attention to or overlooked before."
Everyone started to wonder if such a place really existed. Before they could think of anything, a scream came from the bathroom next door.
Lu Feng ran out howling, his collar soaked with water and his body reeked of vomit. He was so scared that he ran too fast and fell down several times. He didn't dare to stop until he sprained his ankle and was limping. Ding Yue hurried over to help him up.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Liu Yaran!" Lu Feng cried bitterly, "Liu Yaran is in the bathroom!"
"What?" Qiulan opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Lu Feng sat on the ground and refused to get up. "I was washing my hands in the bathroom just now when I heard some rustling sounds. I was scared and didn't dare to look back, but there was a mirror in front of me."
"I saw Liu Yaran, without any skin, walking back and forth behind me. She kept her head down and kept walking. Her hands and feet were very soft, as if she was floating. There was so much blood on the ground."
"She even looked at me in the mirror!"
As Lu Feng spoke, he burst into tears. It was such a horrible scene. Liu Yaran had been skinned, leaving only white flesh and blood. Her eyeballs were exposed without the cover of her eyelids. Her body was twisted and twisted as if it was being moved by countless strings, and it kept lingering behind him.
He was nearly frightened to death.
Lu Ronghua came to Liu Yaran's dormitory and opened the door, confirming that Liu Yaran's hanging body was indeed gone.
Judging from the bloodstains left on the ground, they extended to the bathroom.
"Bathroom..." Ding Yue suddenly said, "Didn't we investigate this place carefully?"
"After all, there are differences between men and women, and in supernatural works, there's no clue that this place is dangerous, so it's normal for people to overlook it." Qiulan rolled her eyes. "Could it be that the door to the warehouse is in the bathroom? No? Why would the door to the warehouse be in the bathroom?"
"Because this is a fake exhibition hall of rare items, all the exhibits are fake, so the warehouse must be hidden and must not be discovered by tourists." Shen Yunzhe sighed, "There must be a door leading to the warehouse, but Liu Yaran is inside now, everyone should be careful."
After saying that, Shen Yunzhe picked up the breakfast porridge, drank a few mouthfuls, and got up and went back to the dormitory.
Lu Ronghua looked at him in surprise, "Shen Yunzhe, where are you going?"
"Sleep." Shen Yunzhe replied listlessly, "I'm so sleepy."
After saying that, he went into the dormitory and lay down on the bed peacefully. He had been deeply affected by the code name Hope the whole day, whether it was smashing the Propaganda Hall or breaking into the director's office. He was now exhausted and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Lu Ronghua turned to look at the others, "Is he really not possessed by a ghost?"
"No, I think he's thinking normally and doesn't have any other strange behaviors. He just likes to sleep more than before." Ding Yue replied.
"Two people have died in the dormitory, and he can still sleep in there so peacefully." Lu Feng said with a pale face: "Do you really think he is normal? I dare not. I would rather stay in the restaurant all night."
"Then you stay here, and we'll all go back to the dormitory to rest."
Lu Feng looked up at everyone in horror, "No, don't leave me alone!"
Shen Yunzhe was sleeping soundly in the dormitory and had no idea what people were talking about outside. Of course, even if they knew, he wouldn't care. Although Codename Forensic Doctor and Codename Hope had completely opposite personalities, they had one common character trait.
That is: ignore any comments from outsiders.
At this moment, the system, which has had a low presence recently, is arguing with Code Hope in that dark space.
[Please don't synchronize with Shen Yunzhe easily. Your synchronization will bring him a heavy burden!]
Codenamed Hope sat there, staring straight ahead without blinking, his long silver hair hanging on his arm to cover the scarred wound. He didn't say a word, as if tacitly refusing, looking like a big cat who was completely uncooperative.
[Don't enter his dreams casually. Once you enter, his dreams will become nightmares.]
Codename Hope lowered his head and looked like he didn't even want to listen.
Shen Yunzhe is a guy with a strong sense of self and doesn't like to be told what to do. His counterpart in the parallel world is even more so, doing whatever he wants even more than Shen Yunzhe himself.
[…When Shen Yunzhe synchronizes with his counterpart, he will also be affected by their emotions. You know your situation. Right now, he's just tired and drowsy. If this happens a few more times, his mind will be polluted. By then, you won't be able to contact the outside world through him anymore.]
"I didn't mean to do this." Codename Hope finally spoke.
He hadn't spoken for too long, and his words were intermittent and not clear enough. The system knew that it had to let it go. It could only hope that he really cared about Shen Yunzhe and stopped forcing synchronization. Losing focus in such a dangerous game field would have terrible consequences.
The system retreated, and the black box fell silent again. Codename Hope sniffed the rotten smell in the air. He slowly raised his arm and looked at the scabbed wound on his arm.
He couldn't help but pick off the blood scab, watching the bright red blood flow out bit by bit, his heart seemed to be filled with grievance and sadness.
"I just wanted to be closer to him."
"If he were me, he would understand me, right?"
…
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Yunzhe woke up. He glanced at the time and then turned on the live broadcast. The live broadcast barrage was refreshing rapidly, as if something was happening outside.
[In the blink of an eye, the person is gone. Hahahaha, this is exciting! ]
【Speaking of which, why did that person disappear? 】
[Who knows? We don’t know what’s in the warehouse.]
[What's the point of going to a new place with a sad face if you're not mentally prepared?]
Shen Yunzhe got up in a hurry and ran out of the dormitory area. The next moment, he saw someone running out of the bathroom. Lu Feng was running in front, screaming as he ran. The moment he saw Shen Yunzhe, he suddenly pushed forward and screamed even louder than before.
"Shut up." Shen Yunzhe pointed at him. "What happened?"
But Lu Feng could only scream and couldn't say anything until Ding Yue ran out and held him down.
Qiulan and Lu Ronghua were behind him, panting and staring at Lu Feng as if they wanted to kill him.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yunzhe asked them.
"He's gone, Duan Ziyao is gone!" Qiulan shouted.
Shen Yunzhe remembered the words on the barrage, "Tell it from the beginning to the end."
It turned out that after Shen Yunzhe went back to the dormitory to sleep, they also wanted to go back to sleep, but they really couldn't sleep because Liu Yiran had just died. Lu Feng suddenly knocked on the door and told them that the door to the warehouse was found. There was a door at the back of the men's bathroom. They wanted to call Shen Yunzhe to get up, but Lu Feng said he was afraid of him. With some random thoughts in their mind, they finally didn't call Shen Yunzhe.
They really opened the door of the warehouse and stayed there for more than four days. They thought that there would generally be no problems in this playground during the day, so they boldly went in.
Who knew that the light went out with a click as soon as they entered. Lu Feng was scared and started screaming. Because the screams were too loud, everyone was confused. In the end, Qiulan used the flashlight on her mobile phone to illuminate the surroundings.
"Stop yelling!" Qiulan called out to Lu Feng, "It's just turning off a light, why are you yelling like you're going to die?"
Lu Ronghua also took out his phone and turned on the flashlight, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Lu Feng covered his mouth.
At this moment, Ding Yue looked around and grabbed Lu Ronghua who was about to leave. "Where's Duan Ziyao?"
The people present were stunned for a moment, and they hurriedly counted the people coming down, but no matter how they counted, there were only four people.
Duan Ziyao is missing.
They were sweating profusely and looked around quickly. It was quiet and there was nothing around. There was a smell of dust everywhere, and they could see the dust rising when the light shone over.
A living person disappeared from their side?!
"Ah! There's a ghost, there's a ghost!" Lu Feng screamed and turned around and ran out. Everyone was frightened by him, but they didn't dare to go any further in this situation.
So they all came out.
"I'm just too scared." Lu Feng looked at everyone timidly, then he looked at Shen Yunzhe, "What about you? Why are you here? Didn't you go to bed? We only went downstairs ten minutes ago and you're here. What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence." Lu Feng repeated, "This can't be related to you!"
Shen Yunzhe exhaled slowly, "You are really noisy."
"That's a reasonable guess!"
Completely unwilling to pay any attention to him, Shen Yunzhe looked towards the bathroom. "If I want to see him alive or dead, I'll go in and look for him. At least I need to know how he disappeared."
Shen Yunzhe turned to look at the remaining players standing opposite him, a slight smile on his face, but this smile looked a little off. "You guys don't want to disappear suddenly, do you?"
"Or do you really want to just disappear suddenly, without any pain at all, so you don't have to die as tragically as Liu Yaran?"
Everyone looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise and even horror.
The live broadcast barrage was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly exploded.
[When did his attack power become so strong? ]
【Grumpy when waking up?】
Isn't he a doctor? Doctors are on duty at the hospital and get woken up every day. It would be terrible if he got irritable.
[It's like he's a completely different person than when he first came in.]
【Could this be his true nature?】
【Then his nature is very changeable. 】
Shen Yunzhe pressed his temples and felt a throbbing pain in his head. He was the first to go into the bathroom, completely ignoring whether the people behind him would follow.
Since they already suspect me anyway, I might as well do whatever I want.
Go to the exhibition hall to pick up the dolls as soon as the business hours arrive in the evening.
