Chapter 267: Dark Shadows 4
Li Zhijian's research caused a sensation, and the story of the old hospital became a hot topic in the city. Although the public was curious about the hospital, Li Zhijian knew that what he had uncovered was just the tip of the iceberg. He increasingly felt that there were even deeper secrets hidden behind the old hospital.
At night, as the city lights dimmed, the shadows around the old hospital seemed to grow thicker. Unidentified figures began to appear around the hospital, seemingly unintentional, but with a sly look in their eyes.
Li Zhijian realized that these people were likely to be related to the secrets of the old hospital, so he decided to investigate secretly to see what their intentions were.
He contacted his old friend, Officer Wang from the police station, to ask if there was anything unusual going on around the old hospital. Officer Wang told him that there was indeed some suspicious activity and they had stepped up patrols nearby.
Li Zhijian decided to use his detective identity to blend in with those mysterious people and try to find clues. He put on a dark suit and a hat, trying not to attract other people's attention.
He quietly followed those mysterious people and found that they seemed to be waiting for something. From time to time, they looked in the direction of the hospital, as if they could not wait any longer.
Li Zhijian decided to investigate further, sneaking into the hospital. The interior had been thoroughly cleaned, and the former wards and corridors seemed to speak volumes. Carefully avoiding cameras and possible traps, he descended into the hospital's basement.
The basement door was ajar, a faint light shone through. Li Zhijian pushed it open and saw a familiar figure. It was the same table and notebook he had found in the hospital basement.
The table was filled with various experimental equipment, and the notebook was filled with some strange symbols and words. Li Zhijian realized that these might be the key to the secrets of the old hospital.
Just as he was about to study the notes carefully, he heard hurried footsteps. He quickly dodged to the side and saw a group of mysterious people rushing into the basement, holding some strange equipment in their hands, as if they were looking for something.
Li Zhijian realized that he had to leave here as soon as possible. He quietly retreated from the basement, carefully avoiding those mysterious people.
After returning home, Li Zhijian carefully studied the notes, trying to find clues. He found that the notes recorded an ancient ritual that seemed to be able to summon some mysterious power.
He realized that those mysterious people were probably looking for this power, and this power might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the old hospital.
Li Zhijian decided to investigate further and began to study the details of the ritual. He discovered that the ritual required a special herb that grew on the edge of the city, near the old hospital.
He decided to go look for the herb himself to see if he could find more clues. He packed up his equipment and quietly went to the place where the herb grew.
At night, he saw some mysterious people picking the herb. They seemed to value it very much, so Li Zhijian decided to follow them quietly to see what their intentions were.
He followed these people to an abandoned factory. The interior of the factory was filled with darkness, with only sporadic lights shining through. They walked into a workshop, and Li Zhijian quietly followed.
The workshop was filled with various equipment, and those mysterious people were busy operating them. They seemed to be refining the herb, trying to extract some substance from it.
Li Zhijian realized that these people were probably trying to replicate that ancient ritual, so he decided to observe quietly to see what they could do.
Just as he was about to get closer, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He looked down and found that his abdomen was pierced by a sharp object.
He looked up and saw a mysterious man holding a sharp knife and looking at him with a sneer.
