Something on the neighboring bed frame fell to the ground with a dull "thud!" Hearing this, the woman immediately turned around and pounced on it.
She grabbed the thing on the ground with her bony hands and bit down hard. I saw this clearly. What she was sucking was actually blood plasma. Her tongueless mouth bit the blood - plasma bag, making a "sucking" sound as if she was eating. Blood plasma oozed from the corners of her mouth, looking extremely bloody and terrifying.
I pressed my whole body against the wall, almost scared out of my wits. Only the coldness could bring my mind back to clarity.
"Lan Lan, see the door ahead? While she's not paying attention, run over quickly and close the door. Huai Ji has appeared. I'm tracking his location. He seems to be in the emergency room."
"The woman's eyes have been gouged out. As long as you don't make a sound, she won't be able to find you. If necessary, look for..."
Bai Qi's words seemed to be cut off halfway, just like a phone call getting disconnected, and there was no more sound.
I couldn't help but worry about him. His situation must be very dangerous now. I had to go out and find him right away.
I shifted my gaze to the door at the corner of the ward. I rubbed my legs with both hands, thinking that these legs must not fail me at this critical moment.
I couldn't stay in this haunted place for a single moment longer.
I moved my eyes and looked at the woman. There was hardly any blood plasma left in her hand.
So I couldn't delay any longer. I lifted my legs with both hands and silently sat on the ground.
Taking advantage of her inattention, I crouched down and sneaked towards the door at the corner.
I never dared to take my eyes off the woman, afraid that if I was not careful, she would pounce on me again.
But one can't do two things at once. Just as I was watching her intently and walking towards the door.
Suddenly, something tripped me up. I lost my balance and knelt on the ground with a "thud".
I looked down and saw that there was actually a person under me.
Two words came out of his mouth: "Save me."
Before I could react, the woman had already heard the sound. She threw away the blood - plasma bag and pounced on the person.
In the blink of an eye, I don't know where I got the courage. I supported myself on the ground with both hands, stepped on the ground with one foot, and quickly kicked out the other foot, directly kicking the woman into the wall inside the ward.
Then I quickly helped the person on the ground up, opened the door, and dragged him out.
Just as we stepped out of the ward door, the woman's neck stretched out long like a snake. Her hideous head screeched and flew towards us.
Seeing that she was about to rush over, I used all my strength to slam the door shut and blocked the door with my body to prevent her from getting out.
The door trembled violently as the monster rammed into it, making a loud "dong - dong" sound.
I rummaged through my fanny pack. I didn't know what kind of talismans I found, but they must be talismans for exorcising evil spirits. I turned around and slapped them hard on the door.
The commotion inside the room finally stopped. I was scared half to death and slowly slid down to the ground.
I looked at the person I had saved. At this moment, he was lying on the ground motionless. If I hadn't heard his breathing, I would have thought he was dead.
I took a deep breath and looked at the person lying on the ground. His condition seemed very bad. He was covered in wounds, and the wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible.
I turned him over. Seeing his blood - covered face, I was greatly shocked. I wanted to say something but held it back.
Although I had never seen this person before, there was something familiar about his expression.
The person rested for a while and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw me, he was also shocked for a couple of seconds. Just as he was about to speak.
I quickly put my index finger on my lips to signal him not to make a sound.
The person was quite rational and didn't cry out because of the pain in his body.
He struggled to sit up from the ground without saying a word.
I took out my phone from my pocket and typed a sentence.
[I can only help you this far.]
The screen of my phone was cracked. He squinted his eyes and could barely see the words on it.
It was obvious that there was a bit of disappointment on his face, but he also showed understanding. Since he was injured, he might have thought that I would find him a burden.
[I understand.]
But that's not what I thought. After all, I still had to go and save someone. I didn't know his real identity, and taking him with me might be more dangerous.
[Are we still alive?] He added another sentence.
I nodded at him.
When the man saw this sentence, his eyes welled up with tears. Two tears dropped onto the phone screen.
One of the tears glistened, and I watched as it flew into the necklace around my neck.
The "Eight - Tear Vessel" on my neck flashed for a moment and then returned to normal.
I looked at the necklace and then at the man in front of me, extremely surprised. It turned out that this person was the one who provided the sixth tear.
The "Eight - Tear Vessel" only holds the sincere tears of the world and does not carry the false sorrows of the Three Realms. This meant that he was not a bad person.
Just now I was still suspicious of his identity. Now I felt that I might have judged him wrongly.
I typed a few more words on the phone: [We're not only alive, but we're also going to get out alive. Do you want to come with me to save someone?]
The man sniffed and nodded at me.
I gave him a determined smile and then looked at the wound on his chest. If it wasn't treated, he might be in danger of losing his life.
I slowly placed my palm on his chest. I didn't know if I still had the ability to heal wounds, but I could give it a try.
In just a moment, the wound on his chest really healed. Not only was he surprised, but I was also shocked.
After the man's injury improved, he seemed to have been reborn. He stood up from the ground. Only then did I really get a good look at his appearance.
He looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a white doctor's coat. He had a crew cut, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, looking like a freshly - graduated intern doctor.
[Do you know where this is?] I asked him.
He replied: [This is the morgue.]
After reading these words, I felt uncomfortable all over, and a chill ran down my back.
He typed four words on the phone screen: [Liao Xingrui, and you?]
[Lan Chiyu.]
After getting to know each other, I asked him again: [Where is the emergency room?]
Liao Xingrui looked around and pointed forward, indicating that it should be there.
He took the lead and walked in the direction of the emergency room. The corridor was very dark. If it weren't for his white clothes, I would hardly have been able to see his figure.
It wasn't until there was light ahead that Liao Xingrui's expression relaxed a bit.
He patted my shoulder and pointed in the direction of the light, as if to tell me that there were people ahead and we could go for help.
Then he quickened his pace, wanting to seek help.
I followed closely behind him and ran forward with him. Suddenly, I felt a void under my feet, as if I had stepped into a puddle.
I quickly looked down at the puddle. I wondered what was reflected in the water?
