Chapter 241: Serious Symptom
Xuan Wen’s tone was clearly different from before. It was evident that she cared deeply about this. Be it the real world or the shadow world, there were not many things that could affect Xuan Wen. Only her confusing relationship with Gao Ming could give her things to worry about. She believed that those emotions were fate’s shackles and not what she really felt.
“Focus on money, future even troubles are better than focusing on relationships.” Xuan Wen’s words silenced Su Mo. As someone who had zero romance experience, he had no idea what was troubling Xuan Wen so much. He just wanted to know whom the voice on the phone belonged to.
“The people from the investigation centre are coming soon. We need to leave this place. We’ll meet them after we gather enough power.” Xuan Wen walked out of the room. She was so calm before she answered that man’s phone.
“What a scary woman.” Su Mo grumbled and walked to the back of the group while holding the pair of heels.
The late afternoon light was slowly swallowed by the dark clouds. The night was like giant hands covering everyone’s eyes. Footsteps echoed all around the building. The patients were doing the final preparation for the night. Xuan Wen’s group was also no different. The ICU was the most dangerous floor. Most highly mutated patients were there. However, most of them would only appear after dark. Those who were willing to move around during the day were the ones who had not been fully corrupted by the darkness. In other words, the patients who walked around during the day were considered 60 percent human.
“The other patient I’m bringing you to see is also an insomniac. However, his symptoms are much more serious than mine. I hope you won’t be scared by him.” The insomniac with the long head led Xuan Wen down the corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a stack of white doors. It was like a few sick rooms were laid on top of each other. Shadow spread around like tentacles. Someone connected the white doors with threads that were hung with bells. If one looked through the gaps between the doors, one could occasionally see white eyeballs.
“This feels more like a haunted house. Are we finally going to meet a big ghost at the hospital?” Xuan Wen returned to normal. The walls that led down the corridor started to tilt. Xuan Wen lifted her hand to push open the doors. At that moment, all the threads shook, and the bells chimed. The white paint on the wall peeled off. Bugs crawled out of the floor. The darkness spread rapidly. Xuan Wen looked like she had stepped into a nightmare. The doors opened. The door axles appeared to settle between the two worlds.
“This patient does have a heavier symptom.” Wearing the bloody coat, Xuan Wen slowly entered the room.
The plaque hung inside the door--First ICU Ward.
