Chapter 234: Invisible Humans

The term beauty was not enough to describe the woman. More than her physical beauty, even her presence was captivating.

Old Sao’s eyes almost fell out. Su Mo, who hid behind, slowly moved his eyes away. It was not that he was shy, but he felt a headache coming. It felt like he had encountered the woman before, and the encounter was not a happy one.

The woman clearly didn’t expect to run into four university students at the door. She smiled lightly, “Have you seen my little brother? Due to his appearance, he has quite a bad temper…”

“Yes! We saw him! He went down the second corridor on the left!” Old Sao volunteered, “Do you need us to lead the way? But I have to warn you. This hospital is not that safe.”

“Not that safe?” The woman looked confused. She looked so out of depth that people couldn’t help feeling bad for her.

“The rumours about Han Hai on the internet last night are all real. Horror stories have taken over this building. Now, we can’t leave the hospital, and the place is filled with dead people. It’s so dangerous!” The woman hadn’t said anything, but Old Sao was ready to give her everything. He had no idea why he was acting so generously.

The woman looked shocked and scared like this was her first time hearing about the ghost stories.

“I don’t think you should move around alone. We can help you find your little brother.”

Old Sao’s group saw the woman walk into the hospital from outside, so this meant that she absolutely had no relation to the hospital. She was a safe ‘human’. With Old Sao’s keen invitation, the woman slowly put her guard down.

“The hospital horror has its own rules. We’ll try our best to protect you, but you have to listen to us, okay?” Brother Xiong was honest and said in an even voice, “How should we refer to you?”

“I’m Xuan Wen. My little brother is Little Yang Yu.” Xuan Wen didn’t hurry to run after Yang Yu.

“Stop wasting time. We can’t leave from the front and side doors. We need to hurry to collect resources to prepare for the imminent night.” Su Mo didn’t dare to get close to Xuan Wen. He shivered, just smelling her perfume. Even though they were at the dangerous hospital, Old Sao still patiently explained the basic situation to Xuan Wen. Each ward had its own functions. The hospital was like a template for the coexistence of humans and ghosts in the future.

When they returned to the front building, the lobby was full. Xuan Wen was plainly befuddled. “This looks perfectly normal to me.”

“They are not humans. Look at this.” Old Sao didn’t hide anything and showed his recorder to Xuan Wen. During this period, Su Mo ‘accidentally’ bumped into Old Sao so that his recorder captured Xuan Wen on video. Different from the patients, Xuan Wen was perfectly beautiful on video. She was a human.

“What are you doing?” After Old Sao figured out Su Mo’s plan, he frowned, “That is so rude.”

“You can’t be too careful. You did nothing wrong.” Xuan Wen covered her mouth. When she realised she was surrounded by ghosts, she quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. However, it was clear that she was frightened.

“Your little brother went this way. Come with me.” Lee Ding waved. They came down the corridor and came to the garden between Li San Hospital’s front and back buildings. The garden was eerie. There was a deserted fountain. The swings were empty, but the chairs swayed. In the pictures shown as examples, the garden was beautiful. However, in reality, the garden was overgrown, and trash was everywhere. Ever since part of the labs moved away, the back building was closed off. Normally, people would only use the front door and the side doors of the front building. They wouldn’t use the back door.

“Your little brother appears to have run off to the back building…” Old Sao looked awkward, “The danger level of the back building is about ten times of the front building. The horror stories mostly surround the back building. I suggest you give up thinking about your brother for now and focus on collecting information and resources.”

“It’s getting dark. You need to make a decision soon.” Brother Xiong said, “I have a little brother myself, so I can understand your feelings. If you insist on going, we’ll enter the back building now. However, no matter whether we find him or not, we have to leave in ten minutes.”

“Thank you so much.” These students offered her help so openly when she was a ghost. Xuan Wen felt quite embarrassed.

“Don’t need to thank us! We should stick together!” Brother Xiong nodded. They climbed over the rusted fence and came to the back building. The wild grass grew into the building. Dark-brown stains were left on the bricks. There were empty medicine bottles and dirty syringes everywhere.

“Dong Dong!”

Strange sounds echoed in the vents. It sounded like a snake crawling through. Xuan Wen followed the sound and found the vent opening. She saw a piece of fabric at the corner of the vent.

“A patient?”

The vent was only a few centimetres wide. A living person couldn’t fit through. Xuan Wen thought of Yang Yu’s younger brother, who was only a few metres tall. “Such an interesting family.”

“There are signs of living people here!” OId Sao picked up an empty ice cream package. The cream on the package was still relatively fresh.

He continued to move forward. Old Sao pulled back the almost-rotten curtain and was hit by a horrible smell. The large room was stuffed with dirty clothes. The abandoned clothes seemed to represent the patients at the hospital.

“This is a laundry room, but why do I feel like I’m at a graveyard?” Old Sao felt his chest congesting. The sense of danger slowly appeared. His eyes moved around. His surroundings didn’t change. He couldn’t tell where the danger would come from.

“Fuck! Look at the back door!” Lee Ding screamed.

Inside the room near the back door, there were many pairs of shoes. There were old people’s shoes, kids' shoes, fashionable heels and tattered toddler shoes. All the shoes were arranged neatly inside the room. All the shoes pointed towards a large black-and-white death portrait on the wall.

“Situ An?”

The university students recognised the man in the picture. That was the vice president of Han Hai Charity.

“What a strange place. Did he know he would die beforehand? Is that why he had the shoes worship him?” OId Sao wanted to record this moment, but as he raised his recorder, he was stunned. In the video, the place was crowded with people. Every pair of shoes was occupied.
