Chapter 277: Hospital (11)
Ding-dong!
The surgical elevator stopped at the first floor, and the crisp notification sound rang out as the metal doors slid open. Just as Everly raised her eyes, she happened to meet a face illuminated by the elevator’s light.
It was a rebellious-looking young man covered in tattoos. He didn’t seem very old. His face was pale, and his expression carried obvious unease.
He was likely just passing by. Seeing the elevator open, he instinctively glanced over.
That single glance was enough for him to lock eyes briefly with Everly inside the elevator.
“Uwa—ahhh!!”
The young man froze for a split second, then let out a terrified scream as if he had seen something unimaginably horrifying. He dropped the chain lock in his hand, turned around, and ran down the corridor.
Everly narrowed her eyes slightly.
She recognized him—this was the same man she had encountered not long ago when she was trapped in the basement. Back then, when she had tried to ram open the emergency door at the end of the left corridor, it had briefly cracked open, and this very same tattooed man had been on the other side, desperately trying to hold it shut in panic.
