Chapter 522: Safe House
Kui Yi sucked in a cold breath. He knew Cao Yang was quite astute, so why was he being so obtuse at a moment like this? Was he scared witless by the ghost?
“We’ll look for her.” Jiang Cheng turned to leave.
“Wait.” Cao Yang stopped him. “What about Director Qi?”
A trembling figure exited the room. “Don’t leave me behind. I’ll give you a lot of money.” Director Qi’s state was miserable. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was covered in wounds. They looked like rope marks.
Kui Yi realised Jiang Cheng really cared about Miss Lin; otherwise, he wouldn’t have forgotten about Director Qi. Cao Yang explained the rest of the story. After the ghost went to chase after Lin Wan ‘Er, he and Yu Yu went into hiding with Director Qi. They didn’t go far. They merely hid in a nearby room.
After a period of silence, Yu Yu suggested that they go find the others. Cao Yang insisted on staying behind. After all, they couldn’t go far with a burden as large as Director Qi. If Jiang Cheng and Kui Yi didn’t die, they’d return to find them. Therefore, the two argued. In the end, Yu Yu decided to venture out on her own. “However, she encountered the ghost soon after. Then, she was captured.” Cao Yang looked sad, but everyone knew he was insincere. Everyone was equal before the ghosts. People with doors could struggle for a little longer, but once a normal person did something wrong, they’d die.
Jiang Cheng was not interested in Yu Yu’s death. He just wanted to confirm Lin Wan ‘Er’s safety. If something happened to her, he’d yank Wu out of his body to slice off the ghost’s heads one after another. He believed Wu could do that… provided that the conditions were right.
“Mr Deep… Mr Jiang, we mustn’t wander about,” Kui Yi offered. Jiang Cheng wasn’t thinking straight. He was worried. After all, the ghost was still patrolling the hospital. Kui Yi didn’t think Lin Wan ‘Er was still alive. However, he didn’t dare to extinguish Jiang Cheng’s hope. He had seen how terrifying a despairing door-holder could be.
If the thing inside Jiang Cheng’s door came out… Kui Yi glanced at Jiang Cheng’s shadow, and he swallowed. Everyone would die.
