Chapter 290
When Shen Ge had taken down the director the previous two times, it wasn’t that the thought of the building being a fusion-type Freak hadn’t crossed his mind. It was just that back then, once the director died, the other Freaks inside the hospital died along with him. Plus, he’d been focused on exploring the dream world, so he never got around to investigating Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital in depth.
Besides, later on, that key figure “Dr. Chen” had emerged—the one who’d orchestrated the “research” on Shen Ge and was suspected to be the mastermind behind the Freak Association. In Shen Ge’s eyes, the director had become just another “boss” of the Freak Association, and not worth spending too much time on.
But this time, through the Ghost Eye, he seemed to have glimpsed the “true face” of Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital—and it looked strikingly similar to the fusion-type Freaks he’d dealt with before.
“Interesting.” Shen Ge felt like he’d discovered a new continent, but investigating the hospital would have to wait—first, he needed to deal with Wang Han and the dinner party issue.
Shen Ge closed his Ghost Eye and opened his regular eyes. The thick fog of ghostly energy vanished from his sight, replaced by the dimly lit corridor.
Zzz—zzzz—
Just as Shen Ge’s hand touched the door to the operating room, Wang Han came up behind him—probably intending to carry him back downstairs. But before he could make a move, the corridor lights began to flicker wildly. Then, as if switching to energy-saving mode, the entire hallway went dark.
Click.
A sound like a circuit breaker tripping echoed through the hall. Several of the distant lamps went out entirely, while the ones nearby emitted faint zapping sounds and flickered sporadically, instantly cranking the creepy, ominous atmosphere to maximum.
