Chapter 127 Potion
Chapter 127 Potion

Du Shangjing's heart was pounding.

He hid at the corner of the stairs, and just now, he heard that sticky sound again - the sound of bare feet stepping on blood.

Du Shangjing moved down carefully, sticking to the wall.

The footsteps on the second floor were gradually fading away, and it seemed that they went to the third floor.

suddenly!

Du Shangjing seemed to have bumped into something from behind, and he quickly turned around to see a portrait.

Upside down portrait.

"Ok?"

Du Shangjing suddenly felt something strange.

This portrait...why is it cracked?

Was it like this before?
There was a large crack on the face of the person in the portrait. It was a strange man whom Du Shangjing didn't know at all. Maybe he was a famous doctor?
However, although he did not know the person in the portrait, the crack on the portrait now looked like an ugly scar across his head, which looked... making Du Shangjing very uncomfortable.

Du Shangjing quickly looked away.

He frantically thought of a solution.

Now in this space, he should be the only living person, and there is a... evil ghost that is looking for him.

Du Shangjing was unable to confirm the situation of his other companions. Perhaps everyone was fine, and only he was strangely trapped in this strange space. This was a disaster, but... perhaps it was also an opportunity.

An opportunity to find out the true face of the evil spirit.

Du Shangjing made up his mind and returned to the second floor again while the footsteps went to the third floor.

He wants to play a deadly game of hide-and-seek with the evil spirit.

……

"Bai Yanliang."

Xu Zhifei suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yanliang stopped and looked at her.

"This time, the time limit is seven days?" Xu Zhifei's question was very strange.

"Yes! I remember it very clearly. Jieyu means 'who', and it requires us to survive for seven days." The one who answered her was Su Jieyi.

"What do you want to say?" Bai Yanliang looked at Xu Zhifei, always feeling that she had other intentions.

"Seven days are intertwined. Could it be that our one day already contains seven days?"

Xu Zhifei expressed his guess.

Bai Yanliang was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes lit up slightly.

Correct!
This mission was unusually strange from the beginning.

Bai Yanliang was isolated in solitary confinement, while Su Jiexian and Zhong Yi were killed by evil spirits without doing anything. The difficulty of this... is simply terrifying.

This is only the first day!
Although Bai Yanliang didn't feel anything, everyone, including Xu Zhifei, was restrained by a terrifying pressure. Could they really... survive in this place for seven days?

Except for Bai Yanliang, everyone has thought about this question at some point.

This is not self-pity, but the difficulty and terror of this time are really too terrifying.

Even people like Du Shangjing have absolutely no confidence at all.

"You're right," Bai Yanliang looked at her seriously and said, "The time in this place is staggered for seven days. Although the mission requires us to survive for seven days, one day here is seven days. As long as we survive today, it should be over."

Bai Yanliang's confirmation did not make Xu Zhifei show any surprise, but it made Su Jieyi overjoyed.

The survival time limit given by Wu Ji is basically an invisible shackle that makes people feel suffocated.

When Su Jieyi found out that she only had to stay here for one day, she felt several times more relaxed.

She quickly checked the time on her phone. Although she couldn't tell the exact time and date, she could tell that several hours had passed.

"We have slept for seven hours, and now ten hours have passed, and there are only... seven hours left! The day is over!" Su Jieyi's joy was not transmitted to Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei, because they both knew very well that if the survival time was only one day, it might... not be a good thing.

There are only seven hours left, and something extremely terrifying may happen during these seven hours.

Hopefully...someone is still alive.

Bai Yanliang put aside his slightly messy thoughts and continued walking deeper into the corridor.

……

When he woke up, Bai Yanliang was already lying back in the ward on the third floor, receiving an IV drip with a bottle of medicine hanging on his neck.

The nurse who had given him eye drops before came again.

She was leaning over with a rubber-tipped dropper, ready to give him the medicine again.

"I'll do it myself."

Bai Yanliang, who had regained consciousness, looked at her and put forward his request.

The nurse has also returned to her normal appearance. Her facial features are not outstanding, and her cheekbones are high, which easily gives people a harsh impression.

In fact, she might actually be a rather mean person.

The nurse in front of him handed the rubber-tipped dropper to Bai Yanliang and glanced at him: "Three drops per eye, don't use more."

Bai Yanliang nodded, then turned his head, covered his eyes with his left hand, and squeezed out the liquid in the rubber-tipped dropper.

He played a trick, but it didn't work.

Because the nurse had no intention of monitoring him at all, she didn't seem to care whether Bai Yanliang took the medicine seriously or not.

"What is this eye drops used for?"

"Don't ask too many questions. Just take care of your illness." She coldly rejected Bai Yanliang's request for information.

"If you want to ask, ask the dean."

“Don’t I have the right to know about my condition?”

"You do, but I have no right to tell you, understand?"

As she spoke, she looked down at Bai Yanliang lying on the hospital bed.

Then, she roughly removed the infusion device from Bai Yanliang's hand and began to clean up on her own.

Bai Yanliang looked at her quietly. He didn't ask any more questions, but his pupils were gradually shrinking.

The nurse probably never thought that Bai Yanliang would not drip the medicine.

So, in Bai Yanliang's eyes, the world... has changed.

The nurse still had a sarcastic look on her face, but under Bai Yanliang's gaze, a tiny crack suddenly appeared on her forehead, and then... like a corroded sculpture, the crack gradually expanded, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

There was nothing abnormal about her movements, but... countless strange black tentacles grew out of the cracks on her face.

They spread rapidly, completely covering her face in almost the blink of an eye.

The nurse's skin was eroded and decayed, but she seemed to be completely unconscious.

Until... her entire face was completely shattered and no human form could be seen.

Soon after, cracks began to appear on her body, and countless black tentacles began to grow from it.

Her body was changing rapidly.

In just a moment, she turned into a complete monster.

She looked like a disgusting ball of flesh covered with tentacles, or like a ghost crawling out of hell.

But...her behavior remains the same.

As if she sensed Bai Yanliang's gaze, the nurse turned around and yelled in a rather unhappy tone:

"What are you looking at? Want to complain about me?"
