Chapter 109: Ghost
Chapter 109: Ghost Tracks
However, the development of the matter was exactly as Bai Yanliang had guessed.

At this moment on the first floor, Zhong Yi, Su Jieyi, Su Jiexian, Qin Chuan, Xu Zhifei, and Du Shangjing have already gathered.

Originally, Bai Yanliang thought that they, like himself, had a face that did not belong to them and played other roles in this world.

But... although Bai Yanliang didn't see it, the six people on the first floor at this time all had the same appearance and the same names as before.

"Where is Bai Yanliang?" Du Shangjing looked around. Including himself, there were only six people here.

"I don't know. I opened the door just after dawn and then met everyone." Zhong Yi said.

"Us too." said the two sisters Su Jieyi and Su Jiexian.

"Is he safe?" Qin Chuan frowned and looked at everyone. "There are eleven rooms on the first floor. In addition to our ward, there are five more. Will Bai Yanliang be in one of them?"

"It doesn't matter." Xu Zhifei's cold voice sounded: "Don't worry about him."

Everyone's eyes fell on her. Although they couldn't blame her for anything, her cold attitude made people feel uneasy.

"Okay, let's discuss it." Du Shangjing said.

It was already daybreak. Unlike Bai Yanliang, the movements of Du Shangjing and the other six were not restricted in any way. Although there were hospital staff coming and going occasionally, none of them even glanced at them, as if... they didn't exist.

"What do you think about Jieyu?" Du Shangjing asked. He felt a little heavy-hearted. He had high hopes for Bai Yanliang. The man's performance in the first two times was outstanding, but... this time, he disappeared from the very beginning. Du Shangjing could only hope that nothing happened to him.

"I thought a lot last night, and this time the answer can be summed up in one word: who. I think there should be two explanations." Qin Chuan had a serious face and a straight body. Compared with Du Shangjing, he was more elegant.

"First, there is an unknown entity hidden in this hospital that no one has ever seen. Second, there is a person in this hospital whose identity is not himself."

Qin Chuan's words were a bit confusing, but everyone still understood what he meant.

“But...how can the evil ghost attack us? Where is the way out...?” Zhong Yi was feeling a little depressed, and this was his state after he had forced himself to cheer up.

Many people in Wu Ji could not bear the pressure of evil spirits and death and chose to end their lives. In fact... Zhong Yi also seriously considered suicide.

But... he was too timid, so timid that he didn't even dare to point the blade at his wrist.

"It's useless... No matter how we defend ourselves against ghosts, it's useless. We don't even know what it is. We can only passively wait for it to appear from a corner and kill us." Zhong Yi's negative emotions also changed the expressions of the two girls, Su Jieyi and Su Jiexian.

"Look, you saw her too... the nurse with only a mouth on her face. She asked my name, and then I answered her. I was definitely going to die... She must have targeted me..." Zhong Yi said dejectedly.

"That's enough!" Qin Chuan stepped forward, grabbed Zhong Yi's collar, and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. If you miss, just leave here. Let Wu Ji judge you as negative, and don't pass on your pessimism to us!"

"Okay... okay..." Du Shangjing stepped forward to separate the two and persuaded them, "You have survived so many times, and this time is no exception. Zhong Yi, don't think too much. I answered her name just like you. I think... everyone is the same, right?"

As he spoke, Du Shangjing looked at everyone.

"Ah."

"Um……"

"Me too."

"..."

Except for Xu Zhifei who didn't speak, everyone admitted that they had answered the fat nurse's own name.

As for Xu Zhifei, that was her personality. Du Shangjing knew it very well, and he took her silence as consent.

"You see, right, in that situation, we had no choice but to answer her own name. Besides, she left after knowing our names and didn't hurt us." Du Shangjing comforted Zhong Yi.

"We know nothing at the moment. We can only look for clues. Only by finding the taboo can we survive to the end and hold on until the moment of departure..."

As he spoke, Du Shangjing also sighed and said, "Zhongyi, no one wants to die, and you are the same..."

Everyone was silent.

The ghosts in the fog cannot be fought against by materialistic or even idealistic means.

Du Shangjing even encountered some evil ghosts before. They seemed not to be the souls of dead humans at all. They only had the purest malice. Their existence was weird, obscure, hard to believe but objectively existed.

Recently, people have discovered that they are not truly unsolvable, but that some invisible rules override them.

As long as you can find the hidden rule among the horror and weirdness, maybe you can... survive.

That rule is the limitation for ghosts and also the way to survive.

Understanding language is the best way to find the rules. It is also the only help Wu Ji can provide them.

But... whether you can actually detect it or not depends on the individual.

During this moment of silence, there was a sudden noise not far away.

Everyone looked up and saw a tall and thin nurse pushing a dining cart over.

However...her mouth is the only organ on her face.

"time to eat."

Her lips moved, and her voice was a little sharp.

The six people suppressed their fear and tried not to look at her face.

Then...he took a breakfast from her one by one.

No one dared to make a sound until she had addressed everyone.

"Eat it all, don't waste it." Her sharp voice rang out again.

Du Shangjing was the first one to obey her instructions. He picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing this, everyone followed Du Shangjing's example and quickly started to eat the breakfast distributed by the nurse.

Her head turned slowly, as if she was checking each one, then she nodded and pushed the food cart away.

"Bah ah..."

As soon as she left, the two sisters of the Su family spat out the food in their mouths in unison.

"It's so scary, is she... a ghost?"

Su Jieyi asked tremblingly.

Although the tall and thin nurse behaves like a normal person, but... there is only one organ on her face!

Du Shangjing shook his head grimly: "I don't know. I was wondering, everyone in this hospital... wouldn't just have a mouth on a blank face."

"The fat nurse and the one just now both looked so scary. What on earth is going on..."

"Sister, I want to go to the toilet..."

At this time, Su Jiexian spoke.

However, she suddenly opened her mouth when she was halfway through her words.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. It seemed that the girl wanted to go to the toilet.

However, at this moment Su Jiexian's expression was extremely frightened!
Her eyes widened, her mouth grew wider and wider, and tears dripped down madly.

Her fear and terror were instantly transmitted to everyone.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

"Su Yuzuru! Quick! Close her mouth!"

Qin Chuan rushed forward as he spoke, and Du Shangjing also hurried forward to help. The two men, one pressing on his head and the other pressing on his chin, tried to close Su Jiexian's ever-open mouth.

"Ho... ho ho..."

An unintelligible sound came from Su Jiexian's throat. She stared at the ceiling and struggled desperately with her hands and legs.

"Sister! Sister...what's wrong with you?" Su Jieyi was so frightened that she was at a loss. She pulled Su Jiexian's hand with a crying voice and didn't even notice that she was bleeding.

At this time, "click——"

There was a very crisp sound of bones breaking.

Then, Su Jiexian stopped struggling. Her chin and upper jaw were completely torn, with only blood and a few tendons still connecting them. Her entire face was covered in scarlet blood.

Su Jiexian is dead.
