Chapter 499: Inside Story
Kui Yi didn’t waste time asking her about how she knew. He took two steps back and arched his body nervously, as if the door would fly open the next second. The short encounter with the ghost left a deep impression on Kui Yi’s heart. His previous escape was lucky. He might not be as lucky again. Kui Yi’s heart chilled as he stared at the door.
“We shouldn’t create more trouble,” Kui Yi whispered. His voice trembled, “This place might not contain any clues… The thing might be hiding inside. We should meet up with the others first.” The room probably had a nurse scared witless by the ghost.
After a short hesitation, Lin Wan ‘Er announced, “I want to look into the room.” Lin Wan ‘Er had exchanged information with Jiang Cheng. This nurse was not as simple as they thought. Even though her legs were broken, she’d climb from the ninth floor to the sixth floor. It was the nurse who led the travellers to believe they had encountered the ghost.
What kind of obsession drove her to do something like that? Plus… No one knew what secrets the nurse was hiding.
For Kui Yi, unknown meant danger. The greater the unknown, the higher the danger.
“Don’t go.” Kui Yi said, “Listen to me. Don’t take the risk. If it’s necessary, we’ll come back when we find the others…”
Lin Wan ‘Er turned to glance at him. “You don’t have to come with. Just wait for me here.”
Kui Yi was startled. He didn’t expect the woman to be so courageous. Lin Wan ‘Er didn’t give him the time to think. She pressed on the door. The door eased open easily. The room was very dark. One had to rely on the light in the corridor. The room had a bed in the middle. There was no table or cupboard. Even the windows were covered by curtains. The room was barren. The windowsill was empty. The room gave off an oppressive feeling. Even on a sunny day, this room would be thick with darkness.
There was a person lying in bed. One couldn’t see them clearly. Their face was hidden in the dark.
