Chapter 495: Chance of Winning
Without hesitation, Wang Changguo turned towards the elevator. The booth was parked on the basement first floor, but as Wang Changguo pressed the button, the elevator began to move upwards. It stopped when it reached Wang Changguo’s floor. Then, the door slowly opened. The booth was empty.
Wang Changguo gritted his teeth and walked in. With trembling fingers, he pressed the button for the basement first floor. That’s right. He wished to go there to find Jiang Cheng’s group. What Kui Yi mentioned was slowly becoming true. Wang Changguo recalled the man saying that the ghost normally killed only one person at a time. In other words, Jiang Cheng’s group wouldn’t be wiped out instantly.
However, they were trapped underground for some reason. Wang Changguo came to this decision after some thought. Instead of dying to the ghost in the stairwell, he’d take this risk.
“Please God. If I survive this… I… will stop scamming the elderly!” Wang Changguo swore in his heart. “I swear to you!” Perhaps God was listening because the elevator worked perfectly. Soon, it reached the destination. As the door opened, the chill rolled in. The air carried a strange smell. He believed it was the drugs used to preserve the bodies.
Wang Changguo swallowed nervously as he exited the elevator. The corridor was quite clean. The doors on the sides didn’t have any labels. He had no idea what they were for. They were probably related to corpses.
Strange friction came from the end of the corridor. It sounded like something dragging on the ground. There were occasional metallic collisions. Everything sounded chaotic. Wang Changguo didn’t see Jiang Cheng’s group. He assumed they were in the direction from which the sounds came. He moved silently towards the end of the corridor. Soon, he saw the direction to the morgue. Even though he was prepared, his body still shivered.
He was too focused on the direction ahead that he didn’t notice a closed door behind him open a gap. Three pairs of eyes blinked as they watched Wang Changguo walk by.
“What?” Cao Yang whispered, “It’s Wang Changguo, that coward. Why would he be here alone?”
“Could that be a ghost?” Yu Yu answered, “He’s too cowardly to come here alone. He must be a ghost.”
