Chapter 155 Employee Dormitory

    Suddenly turning back, besides the chill, there were also goosebumps all over his body!

    Indeed, there is a iron gate behind me.

    However, it was completely different from the previous one.

    The previous iron gate was at least over five meters wide, while this one is at most two meters.

    There is no spacious road outside, but a narrow and overgrown path. The gate is locked with a chain, and it takes several turns to get around at least five or six lock heads.

    This is more like a back door……

    The wind blows gently.

    The heart is even deeper at the bottom of the valley.

    We directly enter into the "Ghost Wall" right when we enter through the main gate, don't we?

    Otherwise, it's completely unexplainable why I would appear at this "back door" place.

    Beforehand, there were so many people, the formation was also very complete, and everyone was deceived by me, making me feel confident inside.

    But now, I am left with thick anxiety.

    The right eye feels unusually cold, and the eyeball trembles intensely, as if it's about to burst out of its socket!

    I twitched and quickly took out a talisman from my pocket, directly sticking it on my right eye!

    The bloody finger that was originally stained, quickly outlined a few times, and the talisman tightly attached to the right eye.

    After that, the cold sensation disappeared.

    And I can only see with my left eye, while my right eye is covered……

    The right eye is related to the old man in the suit. If I don't do this, he will definitely find out that I've come soon.

    To the side of the waist, Old Gong's head poked out of the night pot and stared straight ahead.

    I forcefully suppress the racing heart, and my gaze also turns to the front.

    There are two buildings in sight. One is very wide in area and seven stories high, with dense windows that resemble a bird cage, and the lattice net can be faintly seen inside the windows.

    The other building is only three stories tall and is completely behind the larger one.

    That's why we didn't see this second building when we arrived.

    Do both buildings used to house patients?

    I pondered in my mind and took a step forward.

    The cement ground is clean and no weeds have grown.

    Soon, I reached the outside of that three-story building.

    There is a large door on the left side of the building, with a signboard above it that reads "Mess Hall."

    A little to the right, there is another sliding door made of iron, tightly closed, with a signboard above it that reads "Employee Dormitory."

    I had a slight epiphany, so this is where the doctors and nurses live.

    With my eyes slightly squinted, my mind was more alert but also more restless.

    Logically speaking, I should not be walking around here so casually, as it might lead to problems.

    The old man in the suit is probably in that building!

    There's a high chance he's discovered me, even if he has already found me, but I don't know where he is behind any of the windows.

    The latter may be my oversensitivity, but being proactive isn't a bad thing.

    We have so many people inside, I'd better find a quiet place to stay and watch the situation unfold……

    This "Ghost Wall" is as mysterious as the one in Qi's village, but the nodes are very clear; they should be the gates of the mental hospital. Once I find that place, I can get out.

    Therefore, ensuring the safety in front of me, recovering the faint soul that I lost, and leaving from the main gate is the optimal solution.

    My peripheral vision glances at the nearby building once more.

    I glance again at the nearby employee dormitory and the kitchen, my mind whirring rapidly as I judge where would be the most suitable place to hide.

    My heart suddenly contracts, and I have an idea.

    There must be a room in this employee dormitory that is the residence of the old man in the suit, that is, Wei Yuming.

    Now that he has become a prisoner of the Twenty-Eight Prisons and is constantly pursuing that faint soul of mine, he must be inside the building.

    Wei Yuming's room should be the safest.

    Even if there are other ghosts here, they can't go to Wei Yuming's room!

    With my thoughts settled, I approached the sliding iron door.

    I pulled hard on the door, and it trembled but didn't open. It was blocked by a lock.

    I took out a copper piece to pick the lock, and I easily opened the old-fashioned iron lock.

    Stepping inside, I carefully closed the door behind me.

    The narrow passageway is extremely cramped and dark.

    However, after the vision adapted to this level of dim light, it became clearer.

    Walking about five meters down the passageway, there is a staircase directly in front of me, with corridors on both sides, and there are several doors in the corridors.

    Little signs are standing vertically on the walls outside each room, with words such as "Security Guard" or "Nurse" written on them.

    I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

    Although, when I had the idea of finding Wei Yuming's residence earlier, I had already tried to recall everything I had perceived at the time.

    But with signs on the doors, I can save myself from having to open and look into each room.

    Taking a step, I went up the stairs.

    But just as I had climbed two steps, suddenly, I heard a faint cough.

    My pupil suddenly contracted, and I had goosebumps all over my scalp!

    Suppressing my breathing, I remained motionless……

    Not daring to make any sound, even my heartbeat, I tried to calm it down with exaggerated breaths.

    Other than the coughing sound, there were no other sounds.

    Suddenly, I had a possible idea.

    Logically speaking, after entering through the main gate, we would appear elsewhere due to the "Ghost Wall," so could someone have entered this employee dormitory?

    However……speculating is just speculation, and I can't open the door to check.

    Because Huang Shu had also said that there would be many ghosts……

    With my thoughts settled, I lightened my steps and carefully ascended the stairs.

    However, when I reached the second-floor stairway exit, the faint coughing sound started again.

    And this time, the sound was closer……

    I could clearly hear it, coming from below!

    It seems……the person who is coughing is also at the stairway exit!

    My forehead was covered in sweat beads, and I hesitantly glanced at the gap between the two floors.

    From this angle, I could just see a pair of legs.

    The white pants, the slippers on the bottom.

    There is no wind in the hallway, but the white pants are still slightly fluttering.

    Then, there was another cough.

    In an instant, I put down that idea!

    This is definitely not related to the people who came in with us!

    No one who came in with us wore white pants, and it's the late autumn; no one wears slippers.

    My heart is extremely gloomy.

    I am looking for a place to hide, not wanting to cause trouble, good at watching and waiting, benefiting from the opportunity!

    But if I run into a ghost directly, causing a stir, it might just attract the old man in the suit!

    Moreover, from my angle, I can see his trouser legs. From his angle, can he see me?

    I slowly reached for the back of my waist, ready to use the talisman at any time.

    At the same time, my cheeks subtly twitched as my teeth pressed against the tip of my tongue.

    I have to immediately dispel his soul and not cause any commotion. Then, I need to leave this employee dormitory immediately and find a safe and quiet place……

    At that moment, those white pants moved……

    The movement suggests stepping up the stairs.

    My head was turned sideways, staring at those legs intently!

    My shoulder was gently tapped!

    At this moment, my heart almost stopped!
