On the other side, at the main door of Dongshan Hot Spring Hotel, Zhong Yi was almost stunned. He did not move for a few seconds. However, even though he did not move, his brain was thinking rapidly.
When he rushed out, he was still afraid, but when he saw how deep the pool was, he was instantly filled with hope.
In his heart, although Chi Shen's behavior and conversation always seemed unreliable, he felt at ease every time he saw Chi Shen.
After all, Chi Shen only looks unreliable on the surface, like a person who doesn't care about anything, but everything that has passed through his hands has been solved. Even if they cannot solve the problem of his grandfather's coma that has troubled the entire Special Security Bureau for a long time, it has also been solved.
So in his heart, Chi Shen was still very reassuring, and he even felt that as long as he asked for help, Chi Shen would save him.
But this time, he was clearly wrong.
Chi Shen just glanced at him, then looked away with a smiling expression, seemed to say something, and then disappeared on the spot.
Zhong Yi didn't even see how he disappeared, so he was confused for a moment, because in his mind, Chi Shen was still a human being before, but now what Chi Shen showed didn't seem like something a human being could do.
However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. After being at a loss for half a second, he quickly thought about the current situation. The door was closed and could not be opened. He tried to flip it over, but found that the door, which looked like a hollow pattern, had no fulcrum, making it impossible for him to climb up.
He gave up after trying once, not only because the monster chasing him was about to rush in front of him, but also because - he couldn't just leave like that.
His uncle and two college students who know nothing are here. He can't just go out alone and leave ordinary people behind. He can't do this.
In just a moment, he turned around, kicked open the door of the security room next to him, went straight in, slammed the door shut and locked it.
He had run out of options and hoped there was something here he could use.
He searched quickly in the security room, hoping to find some gasoline or alcohol. He couldn't get close to these melted monsters, let alone beat them. If he could find something to burn them, then maybe he could temporarily solve the problem of these monsters chasing him.
But his search was doomed to be in vain, as the security guard who placed these dangerous items in the security room was not there yet, so he found nothing.
There was no knocking sound as expected from outside the door, but instead there were some slippery rubbing sounds. Zhong Yi also closed the window of the security room looking out. Those melted humanoid monsters did not break in through the window. They just lay on the glass, with their melted bodies pressed against the glass, and stood in a row, looking at Zhong Yi from outside.
Such a scene made Zhong Yi's scalp tingle, but these monsters did not come in for the time being, which also made him feel relieved.
An idea suddenly came to his mind. Since they were not coming in, he could just wait here. After they melted completely, he could go out. Would that be safe then?
But he quickly rejected this idea. Not to mention when these people would melt to the point where they could not move at all, he might starve to death before that. Even the people outside could not stand his waiting.
There must be some way to get him out, he frantically recalled what Chi Shen had said.
Memorize grandpa's notebook, it may save your life at a critical moment...
What's written in the notebook?
Officer Li?
Don't go near water?
Is that it?
Or maybe something else, like what happened after he came in. He learned about the entire Dongshan Hot Spring Hotel and talked to every employee he met.
He looked out of the window and frowned slightly because he saw the clothes of the cleaner he had talked to before. The cleaner was a kind-hearted auntie who also asked him if he had a partner. He remembered the clothes because the auntie hung the key around her waist, and there was a small red rag doll on the keychain. She also said that it was sewed for her by her grandson in the handicraft class.
Before them, there were people who lived, smiled, and worked here.
Zhong Yi lowered his head and quickly wiped his eyes. The current situation did not allow him to be sentimental, but at this moment, he grasped something and the white paper he had seen before suddenly appeared in his mind.
So Zhong Yi raised his hand, looked out the window, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I want to complain!"
The row of melting human figures crawling and climbing outside the window suddenly became quiet. They looked at each other, stared at each other, and opened their mouths, as if discussing something. Even Zhong Yi could see worry on those inhuman faces.
Zhong Yi moved closer to the glass and put his ear against it, and he heard whispers outside.
“He wants to complain.”
"Go find the manager, someone wants to complain!"
"Did we do something wrong?"
“Is anyone going to have their salary deducted?”
Hearing these voices, Zhong Yi thought for two seconds, suddenly opened the window, and shouted: "I want to complain, I want to see your manager! I am not satisfied with your service, I want to complain to you, go and get your boss to come to me!"
The melting figures outside the window looked at him frozen, some of them showing some pain and fear on their faces, but when Zhong Yi shouted out his complaint for the second time, they turned worried again, as if the pain of death and the pain of dealing with complaints kept pulling at them, making them hesitate between fear and worry.
Zhong Yi carefully watched their every change. Seeing that they reacted to the word "complaint", he immediately continued: "Don't you understand? I want to complain about you. What are you doing here? Go find the boss!"
"Go, find the manager!"
"Someone wants to complain!"
“I don’t want to have my salary docked.”
Those melted human figures spoke in confused voices, and dispersed in worry and annoyance. Some went towards the office building of Dongshan Hot Spring Hotel, some went towards the hotel building, and some went towards the outdoor hot spring area.
Zhong Yi watched their steps closely. If they showed any sign of slowness, he would immediately shout, "I want to complain!"
After all the monsters disappeared, he immediately ran towards the restaurant in silence.
Although these monsters left after hearing the complaint, he didn't know when they would come back, nor did he know if they really went to deal with the complaint. He was going to go to the kitchen to get two buckets of oil, or else he would burn them all.
He was very familiar with the terrain of Dongshan Hot Spring Hotel and quickly ran to the front of the restaurant, but he did not go in immediately because he met a man at the door of the restaurant, a man wearing chef's clothes.
He might still be a human being.
At least it looked more like a human than the monsters Zhong Yi had seen before.
Zhong Yi looked at him cautiously, hesitating whether to shout out: "I want to complain!"
But before he could speak, the man turned around and looked at Zhong Yi, seemingly lost in thought: "I seem to have forgotten something. I caught two ghosts, but they suddenly disappeared."
Two ghosts?
Zhong Yi reacted immediately and realized that he should be referring to two of the four people, the red-clothed female ghost and Bai Wan or the ghost-faced Ji Xingchen, and judging from his tone, they were not in danger for the time being.
It seems that ghosts are not safe here either, Zhong Yi thought.
The chef did not think for long. He said this to himself, raised his head and looked at Zhong Yi who was coming over. Then he pulled up the corners of his drooping mouth and smiled: "Hello, I can see that you are alive. Something bad is happening here now. Don't worry, I will protect you."
Zhong Yi glanced at him for a few seconds and said softly, "Thank you."
"I want you to go into the restaurant and don't come out." The chef said, flashing the knife in his hand and showing a bloodthirsty smile, "until I tell you you can come out. Don't worry, they can't come in. I have killed many ghosts."
Zhong Yi nodded and walked into the restaurant under the gaze of the chef.
The chef smiled and said, "I have protected another person today."
Suddenly, the voice of the man who had just entered asked him from behind: "Has the guy with glasses been to your place before?"
The chef's thinking seemed to become slow. He thought for a moment before saying, "He came here and ate my fried rice. I also protected him. He should still be in the restaurant. I told him not to leave."
"So you can't tell the difference between humans and ghosts."
Zhong Yi said.
"What?" The chef turned around suddenly as if he wanted to argue something, but suddenly a bucket of cold and slippery liquid came over his head, and a raging fire started burning on his body. He didn't even have time to react before he was burned to ashes in the fire.
Zhong Yi was still holding a long-nosed lighter in his hand. He looked down at the flames and concluded, "It's flammable."
——
The other side.
Bai Wan was dragging the female ghost in red to rescue Zhong Jingzhu. The female ghost in red tried to turn back cursing, but was grabbed by Bai Wan again and dragged forward.
"My skirt is damaged, I want him to compensate for my skirt!"
Bai Wan: "Next time for sure."
Just now, when they turned around, they met a man wearing white clothes and holding a kitchen knife. He claimed to be a justice agent and said that they were ghosts, so he wanted to kill them.
But Bai Wan didn't want to bother with an ordinary ghost. Although she felt that this person didn't even know that he was a ghost and was a bit pitiful, she still thought about the task assigned to her by Chi Shen and prepared to find Zhong Jingzhu first.
But the person wouldn't give in, so Bai Wan had to drag the red-clothed female ghost away. While dragging her away, the red-clothed female ghost's hand, which she had taken off for fun, broke again, and her clothes were torn as well. The red-clothed female ghost was determined to go back for revenge, so Bai Wan had to hold her back and do her business first.
The two ghosts quickly arrived at the outdoor hot spring area. Before they entered, they saw Zhong Jingzhu kicking a melted human figure into the hot spring pool, and calling on the other three people to come and hold down the melted person.
Bai Wan and the red-clothed ghost looked at each other. The red-clothed ghost even forgot about going to settle accounts with the chef. She opened her mouth and uttered a few words: "We, are, going to, save them?"
Bai Wan hesitated for a second. Are these people in need of their rescue?
But in the second she hesitated, she saw that the melting human figure pressed in the water suddenly became extremely powerful, grabbed a person next to him and dragged him into the water.
