168: Backstab! Ghost on the second floor!
"One?"
Jess's brow furrowed instantly; he was shocked and frustrated!
Damn it!
Dragon Country only had two such rockets in total, yet because he was too eager, one was wasted just like that?
Damn!
Although he was cursing inwardly, Jess still smiled and said to everyone,
"Hehe..."
"Indeed, as the Japan's Highest Representative said, if Dragon Country only has one rocket left!"
"Then what do we have to fear?"
"With so many of our aircraft carriers combined..."
"Dragon Country?"
"Which one can it defend?"
"..."
"That's true!"
"But..."
Romantic Country's Highest Representative stroked his chin.
He said, somewhat undecided, "The cost of one rocket is one aircraft carrier. This kind of loss is something neither I nor any of you here want to see, right?"
"Your Excellency Jess..."
Romantic Country's Highest Representative looked at Jess and said softly, "You should be the one who least wants to see it, right?"
Jess: ...Damn it!
Just talk.
Why do you have to keep poking at my sore spot?
Is this 'sending aircraft carriers' topic never going to end?
He cursed inwardly.
Jess blinked and didn't reply, falling silent.
Anyway, the United States had paid the highest price so far.
A moment of silence.
It wouldn't affect anything.
"..."
"Although that's the principle, since we've already started and paid a certain price, this battle must continue no matter what."
Bear Country's Highest Representative said in a deep voice.
"No matter what!"
"According to the Japan's Highest Representative's information, Dragon Country only has one such rocket left."
"Our ten aircraft carriers will intercept it together. If we can intercept it, we will!"
"If we can't intercept it..."
Bear Country's Highest Representative looked deeply at everyone on the screen.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
"We'll just have to randomly select a lucky audience member!"
"However..."
Bear Country's leader said with a hint of threat in his tone,
"The probability of each of our countries being hit is the same, so I hope everyone doesn't have any divisions in their hearts. Unity is the key to victory."
"I'm making these things clear before the war."
"During the war..."
"If anyone falters..."
"Don't blame our Bear Country for not dealing with Dragon Country first, but turning back to deal with the deserters!"
"..."
As Bear Country's Highest Representative's words fell.
The entire online conference room fell into a brief silence.
After a long while.
Japan's Highest Representative finally laughed, trying to smooth things over.
"..."
"No problem!"
"Since we are already united, our interests are the same."
"No matter what, we will not be deserters!"
"Hehe..."
"Just one Dragon Country is not enough to make our multinational coalition collapse!"
"Let's take it down together!"
"Don't you agree!"
"..."
"Yes!"
"Well said!"
"Japan's Highest Representative is right. We are all bound together now, our destinies intertwined, our interests shared!"
"Nothing can break our alliance!"
Romantic Country's Highest Representative said emphatically.
"Hehe..."
"Indeed!"
"Plus, our Japan brothers have achieved foresight in intelligence, thwarting Dragon Country's goal of deterrence!"
"I have to say!"
"Japan's joining is truly a blessing for our alliance!"
"That's right!"
The usually stern Bear Country's Highest Representative also smiled slightly at this moment.
"It's precisely because of Japan's intelligence that we can sit here calmly discussing countermeasures, instead of being intimidated by Dragon Country's power!"
"Japan's contribution is indispensable for this endeavor to succeed!"
"..."
"Yes!"
"Yes, yes!"
Japan's Highest Representative wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile to everyone.
"However..."
"The credit belongs to everyone; our Japan dares not take all the credit."
"We just did our best..."
"Just did our best!"
Japan's Highest Representative had a guilty conscience, his voice low and slow.
Both his tone and actions.
Were full of a feeling of guilt.
"..."
"Tsk tsk!"
Seeing Japan's humble demeanor, Jess couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
"Japan is still so polite, graceful, and trustworthy!"
"Don't worry!"
"When this is done, you'll have a share in the Three Eastern Provinces!"
"..."
"Then..."
"Then thank you very much!"
Japan's Highest Representative paused.
Then nodded slightly.
Since Jess said he was being humble, then humble he would be!
After all... casually overturning someone else's ideas was impolite.
This was a beautiful misunderstanding.
But!
As a member of the brotherly alliance.
Japan's Highest Representative believed that this beautiful misunderstanding should continue!
"..."
No one doubted him, and they even helped him fill in the blanks.
Japan's Highest Representative immediately composed himself.
His gaze shifted back and forth.
Observing the facial expressions of each representative.
Looking at the highest representatives of various countries, who were all showing friendly and trusting expressions towards him, his heart... gradually filled with some conflict!
He remembered the words that Dragon Country's Highest Representative, His Excellency Hua Wuji, had just told him over the phone.
He unconsciously fell silent.
He admitted that he had lied, but... the 'yi' (one) that Hua Wuji mentioned, why did it sound like the fourth tone (meaning 'billion')?
Could it be 'a billion'?
Whoosh!
Japan's Highest Representative immediately shook his head.
Expelling this unrealistic thought from his mind.
No matter what... it definitely wasn't just one!
Hmm!
As long as it wasn't really just one, it was good that the information he revealed was on Dragon Country's side!
As for the other countries... hehe!
Japan's Highest Representative sneered inwardly.
No matter who it was!
No one could offend his Dragon Country daddy!
As for... whether these other countries' aircraft carriers could return to their respective countries intact?
That was none of his concern!
..."Oh, right!"
Just as everyone had settled on the final combat strategy and was about to deploy troops, ending their probing and preparing for an all-out gamble against Dragon Country... Suddenly!
Jess frowned and asked everyone,
"What is Kimchi Country's Highest Representative doing now?"
"Has the Host still not been caught?"
"That Host, Wu Tian, is very important in the eyes of Dragon Country's people and its high-ranking officials. Capturing him will be extremely beneficial to our next actions and have no disadvantages."
"Is he a very important hostage?"
"Who's going to urge them?"
"This person must be in our hands!"
"..."
"I'll do it!"
After a moment of silence.
Romantic Country's Highest Representative said.
Then, in front of all the highest representatives in the online conference room, Romantic Country's Highest Representative, Berlier, dialed Park Yisheng's number... At this moment!
Just five minutes before the call connected.
Kimchi Country's Highest Representative's office!
In front of the French windows!
Just as the fireworks, which had spread wildly across the entire Kimchi Country's capital sky, almost illuminating the night like day, slowly disappeared... Park Yisheng stood by the window, clutching his crotch as he watched the night sky slowly return to darkness.
His mouth was agape, and his expression was slightly melancholic.
After a long while!
Park Yisheng, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally burst out a curse!
"Damn it!"
"You damn Dragon Country!"
"You're not giving us any way out, are you?"
"In front of the international community, in front of the world, you're flaunting your Dragon Country's military might in our capital's airspace?"
"You damn..."
"I'll kill you!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
"..."
Jiang Yu, standing nearby, looked at the frantic Park Yisheng and curled her lips in disdain.
Embarrassing?
He had already lost all dignity when Park Yisheng gave up national independence in exchange for aid!
This kind of scene now!
At most, it was just Dragon Country making him feel disgusted!
For the tattered Kimchi Country.
This was already painless.
So... the current plan was how to cooperate with these external aid-providing countries to establish an advantage.
To turn the tide again!
But... looking at Park Yisheng's hysterical appearance.
Jiang Yu shook her head.
She felt that Park Yisheng's current state was very wrong.
And... as an outsider.
Jiang Yu highly doubted whether Park Yisheng could continue to serve as the Highest Representative.
At the same time, she also doubted whether he could lead Kimchi Country out of such a desperate situation.
However, despite this... after thinking for a moment.
Jiang Yu still frowned and said to Park Yisheng,
"Your Excellency Park Yisheng."
"The current situation is very unfavorable for us, but the good thing is that our people are still with us."
"All of our people are united against a common enemy!"
"Perhaps today we have been humiliated!"
"Lost face internationally."
"However..."
"As long as we pull ourselves together and find a way to remedy the situation, we are not without hope of turning the tables!"
"..."
"Turning the tables?"
"How can we turn the tables now?"
Park Yisheng cursed furiously.
"Damn it, the Americans' aircraft carrier has already been sunk by Dragon Country with one shot."
"How are we going to turn the tables with that?"
"Damn!"
"It's all because of this Gonjiam!"
"It's all because of Park Yitian!"
"Why!"
Park Yisheng complained, his eyes bloodshot.
"Why didn't Gonjiam's research yield results sooner? Why did Park Yitian have to mention Gonjiam to Wu Tian and the others?"
"Ah!"
"Damn!"
Shouting loudly, Park Yisheng's body slowly slid down the French window.
"Why..."
"Why..."
Sitting on the ground with bloodshot eyes, he kept repeating the same words over and over, appearing insane.
"It shouldn't be like this!"
"Under my leadership, Kimchi Country should be getting stronger and stronger!"
"How could this happen?"
"How could it..."
..."Alas..."
After a long while.
Aside from Park Yisheng's meaningless, insane self-talk, a soft sigh echoed in Kimchi Country's Highest Representative's office.
"Your Excellency Park Yisheng."
"You are truly not suited to be this president!"
"How about..."
Jiang Yu, her face stern, stood in front of Park Yisheng.
She looked down at him and said, "Please abdicate!"
"..."
"What?"
"What did you say?"
Park Yisheng, whose eyes were originally glazed over and who seemed to have gone mad from the series of blows, instantly widened his eyes.
He turned his head and cursed loudly at Jiang Yu,
"What are you?"
"How dare you tell me to abdicate?"
"Even if I made mistakes, even if I put Kimchi Country in such a predicament, you..."
Park Yisheng said, his eyes bloodshot.
"You are not worthy to tell me to abdicate!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out of my office!"
"..."
"Alright then..."
Jiang Yu nodded.
Her gaze at Park Yisheng, who was slumped on the ground, grew even colder.
She suddenly changed from her previous gentleness and submissiveness, slowly pulling out a chilling dagger from behind her back.
Then... she crouched down, leaning close to Park Yisheng.
As the latter looked on in utter horror, Jiang Yu smiled coldly.
"Hehe."
"Since..."
"I kindly advised you to step down from the Highest Representative position and you wouldn't listen, then there's no other way."
"Only when you die will the Highest Representative position automatically become vacant!"
"Then..."
"Please go to your death, Your Excellency!"
"You..."
Park Yisheng was greatly alarmed.
He was about to get up and resist!
...Splat!
The sharp dagger was instantly and cleanly plunged into Park Yisheng's heart by Jiang Yu!
Blood splattered, a single fatal blow!
"Gurgle..."
"Gurgle..."
Park Yisheng's eyes were wide open, his pupils dilated.
Until his death... he looked at Jiang Yu with an expression still filled with disbelief!
"Thud!"
Following the French window, Park Yisheng's corpse, eyes wide open in death, slowly collapsed to the ground.
Pfft!
Jiang Yu flicked her right hand, expressionlessly pulling out the dagger plunged into Park Yisheng's heart.
Then, she wiped the blood from the dagger on his clothes.
Frowning, she cursed angrily.
"Damn waste!"
"A good hand played terribly!"
"Now I have to clean up your mess!"
"Take over a losing hand!"
"Sigh..."
"Damn it!"
"Someone!"
Jiang Yu, while re-tying the dagger to her waist, frowned and shouted loudly towards outside the office.
"Drag this waste's body out for me!"
"..."
Creak!
As Jiang Yu's voice fell, the office door was pushed open.
Then, four guards in black suits walked in from outside the door. Without a word, they swiftly each grabbed an arm and a leg, dragging the utterly dead Park Yisheng away.
Creak... A minute later, the office door was opened and closed again!
Throughout, Jiang Yu didn't say another word, and the four bodyguards didn't ask another question.
It seemed such an outcome... was within their expectations...
"Ding-a-ling-ling..."
Just as Jiang Yu lit a cigarette, frowning and sitting on the sofa, thinking about the countermeasures she needed to take next, the phone in the supreme leader's office suddenly rang.
Jiang Yu's brows furrowed.
She quickly stood up, walked to the phone, and picked it up.
"Hello."
"This is the Kimchi Country Supreme Representative's Office."
"Who are you looking for?"
"..."
"I'm looking for your Kimchi Country's Supreme Representative, His Excellency Park Yisheng. Please put His Excellency Park Yisheng on the phone!"
"..."
"I'm sorry."
Jiang Yu said in a flat tone.
"His Excellency Park Yisheng is probably unable to take your call!"
"Unable to take it?"
Berlier was stunned.
Then, somewhat annoyed, he roared loudly into the phone at Jiang Yu.
"I don't care what your reason is, whether it's constipation or being on a woman's belly!"
"Now, immediately, at once!"
"Let Park Yisheng take my call!"
"..."
"I'm sorry!"
"His Excellency Park Yisheng is indeed unable to take your call, because..."
"He's already dead!"
"..."
"Dead?!"
There was a second or two of silence on the other end of the phone, then Berlier burst out in a gasp.
"Damn it!"
"How did Park Yisheng die?"
"Who killed him?"
"Did he die from a bomb?"
"No!"
Jiang Yu, on this end of the phone, shook her head faintly and told Berlier concisely.
"He was too useless, I killed him!"
"..."
As Jiang Yu's voice fell, the other end of the phone once again fell into silence.
Then... Berlier, somewhat exasperated, asked loudly.
"Damn!"
"You killed Park Yisheng?"
"Then who is the current Supreme Representative of Kimchi Country?"
"I don't want to deal with your Kimchi Country's messy affairs right now. I just want to find your Supreme Representative, I have something very important to discuss with him!"
"..."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yu still replied indifferently.
"You are the Supreme Representative of Kimchi Country?"
"...Alright!"
Berlier felt a pang of frustration.
Although the other party was a woman, someone who could kill Park Yisheng shouldn't be a simple character. Perhaps entrusting this matter to her could achieve the same effect.
With a 'desperate times call for desperate measures' attitude, Berlier frowned and continued.
"Currently, our multinational coalition forces have already crossed Dragon Country's maritime border and are launching an attack on Dragon Country!"
"Currently..."
"Dragon Country doesn't have time to deal with your side!"
"So, in order to add another weight to our final victory..."
"There's one person..."
"You absolutely must capture him alive!"
"..."
"The person you're talking about is Wu Tian?"
Jiang Yu replied calmly.
"Yes!"
Berlier's eyes lit up.
"If this person can be captured alive, we should be able to gain a significant advantage!"
"After all, this person is currently treated like a treasure by Dragon Country."
"How about it?"
"Is there any difficulty?"
"...Yes!"
Jiang Yu answered frankly.
"However..."
"These are all not problems. If there's no opportunity, we'll create one!"
"To bring down Dragon Country..."
"Our Kimchi Country will do its best!"
"..."
"Good!"
Berlier nodded heavily, a look of appreciation on his face.
"You do well, I have high hopes for you. You're much stronger than that trash Park Yisheng!"
"Half an hour!"
Berlier gave a time limit.
"After half an hour..."
"I want to see Wu Tian captured by you in his live stream."
"How about it?"
"No problem, right?"
"No problem!"
Jiang Yu nodded decisively.
"Await good news!"
"Good!"
"Beep beep beep..."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu made dozens of calls, forcibly summoning all the security and military forces still maintaining order in the Kimchi Country's capital.
She personally led them, rushing towards Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital!
A storm... (Friendly reminder: The website is about to be revamped, which may cause reading progress to be lost. Please save your "Bookshelf" and "Reading Records" in time (screenshot recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused! )
was slowly brewing without Wu Tian and the other two knowing.
...Meanwhile, in Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, in the Director's Office, a dozen Dragon Country scientists, as ghost spirits, stood facing Wu Tian and the other two.
"Child..."
"Are you leaving here next?"
"..."
The scientists wiped away the tears from their faces.
Their eyes, looking at Wu Tian, were full of satisfaction.
"No!"
Wu Tian slowly shook his head, his expression serious as he said, "Not yet."
"Dragon Country is currently bearing the pressure of fighting over a dozen countries outside, all so that I can rescue all our Dragon Country scientists in this Mental Hospital."
"At the same time, it's also to expose the truth of this Mental Hospital to the public."
"Regardless of other countries' attitudes for fame and profit, our Dragon Country absolutely will not allow such a dirty place to exist in the world."
"Therefore,"
Wu Tian said firmly, "I must continue to explore."
"This is only the first floor, and I've already discovered so many of our Dragon Country scientists!"
"There's the second and third floors, and even an unknown underground!"
"These places..."
"We must explore them all!"
"..."
Listening to Wu Tian's firm voice, all the Dragon Country scientists looked at Wu Tian with sudden reverence.
"Child!"
"Well done!"
"It is precisely because of people like you that our Dragon Country can become stronger and stronger."
"To be able to see a descendant of Dragon Country like you in this ghostly form, we are all very pleased."
"And very relieved!"
"Dragon Country..."
"Truly has successors!"
An old scientist with white hair and beard looked at Wu Tian and the other two, nodding with satisfaction.
"Hey!"
"Old sir, I'm not from Dragon Country."
"But, my heart is also with Dragon Country!"
The fatty smiled slightly, speaking to the old scientist.
"Hehe..."
"Of course!"
"Our Dragon Country embraces all; no matter what country you're from, as long as you love our Dragon Country, we are family!"
"Little fatty, thank you!"
Fatty: ...Although what the old scientist said was kind words and made him feel passionate, why did he have to call him 'little fatty'?
Hiss?
Was he really that fat?
It seemed he probably needed to lose weight!
"..."
"Everyone!"
Wu Tian looked at the scientists, each with a kind face, who had dedicated their lives to Dragon Country, and smiled slightly, performing an ancient cupped-hand salute.
"All good things must come to an end."
"I still have a mission!"
"When I finish all this, I will definitely return to take you back to Dragon Country!"
"To see the magnificent rivers and mountains of our Dragon Country."
"We..."
"Must set off again!"
"..."
"Good!"
The old scientist smiled slightly, returning a cupped-hand salute to Wu Tian. Then, all the ghost spirits of the Dragon Country scientists followed the old scientist's action and bowed to Wu Tian and the other two together.
They shouted in unison,
"May you achieve immediate success!"
"May you achieve immediate success!"
"May..."
"You achieve immediate success!"
...After bidding farewell to these elder Dragon Country scientists, while Jiang Yu was leading over a thousand Kimchi Country military forces on their way to Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital...
Wu Tian and the other two had already arrived on the second floor of Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital.
Rustle... The footsteps of the three gently echoed on the quiet second floor.
This forbidden place, untouched by human feet for many years, today welcomed a new wave of visitors!
The structural layout of the second floor was different from the first. Although it also had a 'T' shape plus an 'L' shape, where the Director's Office was on the first floor, the second floor had a storage room.
It was used to store all the bedsheets and duvet covers changed in the patient rooms, and of course... some cleaning tools.
The three chose a long, dark corridor extending to the left.
Step by step, they ventured deeper.
"..."
"Boss..."
Suddenly, the fatty, who was walking at the very back, whispered to Wu Tian and Zhang Meng ahead.
"Did you hear it, a constant dripping sound?"
"Just like..."
"The sound of water dripping onto the ground?"
"..."
Stomp!
Wu Tian and Zhang Meng immediately stopped in their tracks, then slowly turned towards the fatty.
"Dripping sound?"
Zhang Meng frowned.
"I didn't hear anything."
"There's no sound here except for our three sets of footsteps."
"Fatty..."
Zhang Meng tilted her head, guessing, "Are you hallucinating because you're too nervous?"
"..."
Listening to Zhang Meng and the fatty's conversation, Wu Tian didn't interject.
Instead, he slightly narrowed his eyes.
Then... a faint golden light slowly illuminated from his eyes, and Wu Tian turned his neck, observing left and right in the corridor.
After a long while... Wu Tian gently shook his head at the fatty.
In the latter's nervous expression, he softly said,
"Nothing!"
"Fatty!"
"You must have misheard."
"Let's go!"
"The first door is almost here, let's hurry in and take a look."
"..."
"Okay..."
"Alright!"
The fatty scratched his head, following behind Wu Tian and Zhang Meng, walking into the darkness ahead again.
As he walked, the fatty scratched his head in confusion, muttering to himself.
"Strange..."
"I clearly heard dripping water just now, it shouldn't be possible to mishear."
"How could that be?"
"This isn't scientific!"
"..."
As the figures of Wu Tian and the other two gradually disappeared into the darkness ahead, in a place beyond the reach of their flashlights, a dark shadow... slowly descended from the ceiling.
Its true appearance was unclear in the dark hallway.
However... through the faint light of Wu Tian and the others' flashlights in the distance, one could vaguely see... a thick rope around this person's neck.
And... in its mouth, there was a long tongue.
The dripping sound the fatty heard earlier was precisely the drool flowing from this long tongue.
At this moment... this monster, worried about being discovered by Wu Tian and the others, somewhat guiltily pulled its tongue upwards.
"Slurp..."
With a gentle suck, the drool on its tongue was drawn back in.
"Hehehe..."
With a low chuckle, the monster re-attached itself to the ceiling, following Wu Tian and the other two, who had already arrived at a door.
A thought in its mind became increasingly difficult to suppress!
Eat!
“Eat them all!”
“Eat them!”
“...Holy crap!”
“Friends from the livestream before, quickly tell me, did I see wrong?!”
“What the heck!”
“Just now, my blood was boiling, but after seeing that scene, my blood ran cold!”
“Instantly entered sage mode!”
“...”
“Brother...”
“I don’t think you saw wrong, I saw it too!”
“I don’t know what’s going on.”
“How come Brother Tian and the other two didn’t see it at all?”
“Yeah!”
A Fan in front of his computer typed with trembling hands, a puddle dripping under his chair, and a strong smell of urine slowly permeated his room.
“Just now, I was holding my pee, wanting to finish watching this exciting scene.”
“But then, seeing the Host venture to the second floor again, I held back from peeing.”
“What the heck!”
“Until just now...”
“I saw that scene!”
“What the f*ck!”
“I peed, I really peed!”
“Over twenty years, this is my most shameful moment!”
“None other!”
“...”
“Hehe...”
“What’s your deal, brother?”
A Dragon Country Fan replied to the Fan upstairs who said he peed himself from fright, his tone full of resentment towards Wu Tian.
“Didn’t my diaper already fill up earlier?”
“Later, seeing it gradually get exciting, I wasn’t scared anymore.”
“I was just so engrossed in the excitement that I didn’t want to leave my computer to change my diaper!”
“Hehe!”
“Guess what?”
“I saw that shadow just now and before I could even dodge, I peed myself again!”
“No more talking...”
“Someone’s knocking!”
“I’m going to fix the floorboards!”
“...”
“Holy crap!”
“Brother upstairs, brilliant!”
“Floorboards leaking through?”
“But...”
“What exactly happened just now? I really didn’t see it clearly. Can any brothers who saw it clearly explain it to me?”
“...”
“Thanks for the invite.”
“Just now, a huge monster’s shadow appeared behind the three Hosts.”
“This monster seemed to have been hanged.”
“It had a thick hemp rope around its neck, and a long tongue, easily a meter long!”
“It even let out a hooting laugh like a night owl.”
“It was truly terrifying!”
“Hiss...”
“I can picture it now!”
“But...”
“Did Brother Tian and the others not see it?”
“Quickly!”
“Quickly warn Brother Tian!”
“...”
“Hehe...”
“The brother upstairs is too young, he must be a new Fan who just joined the livestream.”
“Don’t panic when something like this happens.”
“This surprise needs to be discovered by Brother Tian himself!”
“Brother!”
“You’re grown up now, you need to learn to create livestream effects for yourself!”
“Understood?”
“...”
“Understood!”
The Fan said faintly.
“The Host might not always be human, but you guys are truly dogs!”
...Unaware of the Fans' frantic discussions in the bullet chat, Wu Tian and his two companions had already arrived before the first door on the second floor.
“Creak...”
Wu Tian looked at the reddish-brown door, thick with dust, and without hesitation, reached out to push it open.
As the sound of the old, dilapidated door frame grinding echoed.
The scene inside the room was immediately revealed to everyone.
“Oh?”
Zhang Meng’s eyes widened slightly.
She looked at the scene before her with some confusion.
“This...”
“Isn’t the second floor the inpatient department?”
“This... this looks like an activity room?”
Swish!
Wu Tian frowned, shining his flashlight back and forth, observing the room.
After a minute.
Wu Tian nodded towards Zhang Meng.
“You don’t need to doubt.”
“This really is the inpatient department!”
“However...”
Wu Tian, while shining his flashlight on some crisscrossing marks on the ground, said to Zhang Meng and the Fatty behind him.
“It’s been modified!”
“Look here!”
“These black marks are where the walls were smashed open!”
“There are a total of four such marks!”
“Look this way!”
As he spoke.
Wu Tian shone his flashlight to the right.
What was revealed to everyone under the bright light was a huge space, very long but not very wide.
There were no beds in this space.
Instead, there were some ancient, decaying fitness equipment.
At first glance!
This was indeed a place for Mental Hospital patients or scientists from various countries to exercise.
However, upon closer inspection, some strange things could be noticed.
For example... “Although it’s an exercise area.”
“Why the heck did these people install gymnastic rings on the ceiling?”
The Fatty frowned.
He said, feeling a bit of a tingle on his scalp.
“And...”
“In such a small room, these people really know how to squeeze things in.”
“They don’t care about the compatibility between two gymnastic rings; as long as there’s a gap, they install a long gymnastic ring.”
“This is problematic!”
“This is unscientific!”
The Fatty scratched his head.
This was the second time he had said “this is unscientific” since arriving on the second floor!
The strange sight before him left him somewhat bewildered.
He instinctively felt that this place was completely wrong.
But... he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
“Yeah!”
Zhang Meng also nodded.
“Under normal circumstances, the spacing for these gymnastic rings should be quite large, but...”
“Why is the spacing between these gymnastic rings so small?”
“How can you exercise like this?”
“...”
“What if...”
Wu Tian asked faintly.
“These aren’t for exercise?”
“...”
“Not for exercise?”
“Hehe...”
The Fatty shivered.
“Boss...”
“Don’t joke around, if these gymnastic rings aren’t for exercise, what else could they be for?”
“Hehe...”
“Are they for killing people?”
“That’s right!”
Listening to the Fatty's joke, Wu Tian nodded affirmatively.
“These gymnastic rings...”
“They really are for killing people!”
“...”
Suddenly!
As Wu Tian’s words fell.
Narrator-kun’s voice appeared in his mind.
“In 1976, the director of Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital committed suicide, and the hospital closed down. The whereabouts of the remaining patients and doctors have always been an inexplicable mystery, until you discovered this room.”
“As you expected, the gymnastic rings in this room are not for physical exercise, but for killing people, and... it’s suicide!”
“Calamity is where fortune leans, and fortune is where calamity lurks!”
“The strange things on the second floor have revived because of your arrival, but they still have fatal flaws!”
“Discover their flaws and defeat them.”
“You will get some clues you want!”
“Time is pressing, speed up!”
“...”
“Damn it!”
Listening to the voice in his mind slowly disappear, Wu Tian immediately cursed.
What the heck!
What is this?
Narrator-kun had always been his means of avoiding risks, so why did Narrator-kun directly push him into a pit of fire this time?
The strange things on the second floor!
Wu Tian did not ignore this crucial piece of information!
What the heck!
This meant that... simply by opening this room, the ghosts on this floor were all going to surround them.
“No!”
“Go!”
Wu Tian shouted loudly at Zhang Meng and the Fatty.
“Leave now, get out of this room!”
“Quick!”
“...”
Zhang Meng and the Fatty were stunned, then, having worked together many times and being in sync, they turned around without a word and ran towards the door.
However... Bang!
With a loud bang, the dark red wooden door at the entrance instantly slammed shut.
The huge impact startled Wu Tian and his companions.
And... as the loud sound of the door closing echoed.
Behind the door... two tall, imposing, eerie shadows appeared.
“Damn it!”
“That fast?”
Wu Tian immediately cursed.
Without thinking, he raised his foot and kicked towards the two large figures at the doorway.
“Bang!”
A dull thud.
One of the shadows at the doorway did not budge.
Wu Tian’s feet felt as if they had sunk into mud.
The immense force was instantly completely dissipated.
“Hehehe...”
“Once you’re in, you can’t get out!”
“Three little snacks!”
“Be good...”
“And become our nourishment?”
“...”
“Us?”
Wu Tian paused, then turned his head, looking behind him.
At this sight... Wu Tian’s pupils constricted.
Zhang Meng and the Fatty immediately screamed.
The Fans in front of the livestream instantly wet themselves!
Under the illumination of Wu Tian’s flashlight... the previously empty gymnastic rings were now filled with huge monsters.
These monsters, dressed in white lab coats or pink nurse uniforms, had their necks hanging from the gymnastic rings, appearing to have been hanged.
Their crimson tongues... hung directly down to their waists.
Crimson blood continuously dripped onto the ground, 'drip, drip, drip'.
The sound of hundreds of monsters dripping blood together was more like rain.
Pitter-patter... exceptionally clear!
“Yes!”
“That’s the sound!”
“Damn it!”
The Fatty felt a chill down his spine.
“I kept saying I heard water dripping behind me, but I couldn’t find the source.”
“What the heck...”
The Fatty took a long, cold breath.
“So this thing has been following us the whole time!”
“What do we do?”
“Boss...”
“How do we deal with so many of these ghostly things?”
“...”
“How to deal with them?”
“Hehe...”
Wu Tian remembered what Narrator-kun had said in his mind earlier; although these things looked numerous and had a strange way of dissipating force, they also had fatal flaws.
What these things' flaws were... Wu Tian already had a guess after a few seconds of observation.
Smiling slightly.
Wu Tian extended a hand to the Fatty.
“Fatty.”
“Do you have scissors among the things you brought?”
“Scissors?”
The Fatty was stunned.
Then he shook his head.
“I didn’t bring anything like that.”
“But...”
The Fatty reached into his backpack and pulled out a huge object, placing it in front of Wu Tian.
“I brought hydraulic shears, fully automatic!”
“Can they be used?”
