Chapter 44: 044 The Silhouette at the End of the Hallway (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets! Please Collect!)

Having grabbed a simple dinner at a small restaurant, Qin Hao set out on his journey.

At this moment, it was 8 p.m., and the sky had just darkened.

At the front gate of the Third Hospital.

Qin Hao hadn’t arrived, but someone had already come here ahead of time.

They were high school students from a nearby school in the southern part of the city.

Five students, three boys and two girls, walked into the Third Hospital together.

Inside the abandoned hospital, everything around was pitch-black.

The high school students could only use the flashlights they had brought to light their way.

In the group, the two girls held their flashlights close to each other as they moved forward, clearly frightened.

A girl named Liu Shiwen nudged one of the boys with her flashlight.

“Zifan, let’s just go back, I’ve heard this place is haunted!”

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

“Yes, yes, I’m getting scared too, and why didn’t we come during the day?”

The boy leading the way said, “Don’t panic! What’s all this talk about ghosts and such? We boys have strong yang energy; are we really going to be afraid of a few ghosts? Besides, have you forgotten? Qingyun Mountain is also in our Longguang City. The whole city is protected by a Heavenly Master; what ghost would dare to cause trouble here?

Don’t worry, we three guys are leading the way. What’s there to fear? Just stick with us, and after we win the bet, we’ll treat you to a meal with the money we get!”

That boy, Lin Zifan, boasted as he confidently patted his chest.

Today, they had made a bet.

It was said that the Third Hospital was an infamous haunted house near the southern part of the city.

So one of the boys had hidden 500 yuan in a corner of the Third Hospital beforehand.

The agreement was for them to come and find it at night.

If they dared to come and could find the money, the 500 yuan would be theirs, and the loser had to call the winner “Daddy.”

How could a group of vigorous young people stand such provocation?

While shouting defiantly, they came straight here at night.

They had just entered the abandoned hospital.

Lin Zifan saw a flicker of light in a window on the second floor of the hospital.

It seemed as if it was aware of Lin Zifan’s gaze, the light only shone for a moment before it was turned off.

Lin Zifan, with a smirk, pointed to the window on the second floor and said, “I just saw a light up there. Huang Wenlong surely hid the money on the second floor—maybe he’s even hiding in there waiting to scare us. Come on! Let’s go find that kid and make him call us Daddy!”

After saying this, Lin Zifan took the lead, pushing open the old hospital doors, and ran towards the clinic building.

The two girls hesitated as they watched the three boys rush into the hospital. Finally, they clenched their teeth and followed.

Upon entering the clinic building.

The vast and empty interior space felt extremely oppressive.

Because it was a hospital from decades ago that had also been burned by a fire, the stone bricks underfoot were loose and unstable.

Walking in the clinic building, stepping on the stone bricks produced a creaking, grinding noise.

This noise, along with the echo in the building, was particularly eerie and ethereal.

However, the high school students didn’t pay much attention to these sounds.

They headed straight for the old staircase and ran up to the second floor.

Once on the second floor, they began their search.

The upstairs had pediatrics, ENT, orthopedics, dermatology, surgery…

One of the guys in the group asked Lin Zifan, “Zifan, which room did you see the light in from downstairs?”

Lin Zifan saw the many departments on the second floor and was stunned for a moment before saying, “I don’t know either! I saw it from outside, and now that I’m in here, I’m all turned around. With so many department rooms, who knows which one it is? Let’s search them one by one.

How about this, I’ll search on the left side, Shi Yi, you check those rooms in the middle, and Chen Hong, take the departments on the right! I don’t believe Huang Wenlong could hide all the way up in the sky!”

Lin Zifan arranged for them to split up and search.

However, at this moment, a boy named Shi Yi started to feel a bit afraid.

“Zifan, are you sure we should split up? I’m getting the jitters! This place has been deserted for decades. It’s a hospital, full of yin energy, who knows what ghosts or things are here at night. Maybe we should stick together; it’s not so scary with more people. Walking alone is way too creepy!”

Hearing his companion’s words,

Lin Zifan glanced at the two girls next to him and toughened up, “Shi Yi, you’re such a scaredy-cat. You’re grown up and still afraid of ghosts! Fine, you guys can all go together, and I’ll search those departments on the left by myself!”

Liu Shiwen spoke up, “Are you sure you’ll be okay alone? What if you run into danger?”

Lin Zifan smiled smugly, pulling out a jade Buddha he always wore around his neck and said, “I went to the Datianyun Temple to offer incense half a year ago where a monk there gave me a consecrated jade Buddha.

I’ve been wearing it for six months now. With this thing protecting me, even demons would have to call me Daddy. What have I got to fear?”

After finishing his words, Lin Zifan walked towards the left side of the second floor by himself.

The remaining two boys and two girls looked at each other and could only muster the courage to push open the department doors, searching one by one.

“Creak!”

Another old department door was pushed open.

Shi Yi and the other three walked in.

They searched the room and still found nothing.

This was already the fourth department they had searched.

Just as they were about to leave the department and head to the next one,

suddenly, a shadow flitted by at the end of the distant hallway and raced up the stairs toward the third floor.

Shi Yi and the others were startled.

“Holy shit! Who’s that?”

The figure that had dashed by was too fast.

They only saw a shadow and couldn’t make out who it was.

Shi Yi tentatively called out, “Zifan, is that you?”

But there was no response for a long time.

Shi Yi called out again, “Huang Wenlong?”

Still, no one answered.

At this point, Chen Hong suggested, “Let’s go check it out; it’s probably that kid Huang Wenlong. Since he’s intent on scaring us, how would he answer your call? Come on, let’s go to the third floor!”

Hearing Chen Hong’s words, Shi Yi and the two girls nodded, feeling she made sense.

So, the four of them decided to head up to the third floor.

However, just as they had stepped onto the staircase, ready to head up to the hospital’s third floor,

at that moment, a door to one of the departments behind them was suddenly opened.

“Creak.”

A boy’s figure stood at the doorway of the department, and the moonlight outside the window shone through the glass, casting the boy’s silhouette on the floor.

He reached out to them and yelled, “Chen Hong, Shi Yi! Don’t go to the third floor! I’m here!”

The two boys and two girls saw the suddenly opened door and the boy standing inside.

Wasn’t this boy the one they had been searching for, the one they had bet with, Huang Wenlong?

This guy was actually hiding here.

Shi Yi was about to curse.

But at that moment, he froze, as if realizing something, and broke into a cold sweat.

If Huang Wenlong had been the one hiding in the last department,

then who was that figure that had flashed by and run up to the third floor of the hospital?

Holy shit!

It became apparent that not only Shi Yi had thought of this, but the others had too.

Every one of them got goosebumps.

Could it be Lin Zifan?

But if it was Lin Zifan, he had come with them, and there was absolutely no need to scare them; why didn’t he respond?

If it wasn’t Lin Zifan, then who else could it be?

Could it be that this place was truly haunted?
