Chapter 205: Save Me

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Li Xianyu suddenly turned his head around. The place behind him was empty, with only a few rows of shabby waiting chairs.

“It’s gone.” Xiao You’s expression was tense, and she was so frightened that her lips turned pale. “There were a bunch of people behind you… No, not people, not people…” She trembled uncontrollably as she spoke, as if she could not withstand the wind and frost in the cold winter.

“Talk properly, what did you see?” Li Xianyu grabbed her hand that was holding his arm. After feeling the man’s warm palm, Xiao You felt a lot safer.

“That row of chairs was full of ghosts, and just now they were donned in patient garb, staring at us. When you turned around, they disappeared. Come on, let’s get out of here quickly.”

After listening to her words, Li Xianyu imagined the scene just now. Behind him, ghosts in patient garb sat on several rows of dilapidated waiting chairs. They stared gloomily at them, their eyes all white and had no pupils. They looked lifeless, and may even be rotting and infested with maggots…

He slowly shivered. Shit, sure enough, the greatest fear of human beings was imagination. He was not afraid of vengeful spirits, but he was frightened by what he had just imagined.

Li Xianyu frowned and tapped on the center of his forehead. He opened his spiritual eye, and the dark and quiet waiting hall was as usual. He could not see vengeful spirits or even sense an aura of resentment.

He was surprised, but he didn’t understand why. He just asked Great-Grandma and she also frowned in contemplation. She was probably confused too.

He had never met a vengeful spirit without resentment or a vengeful spirit that could not be detected by the spiritual eye. The content of the mission has gone beyond what they were supposed to deal with. Fortunately Li Xianyu had rich experience in this. He was slightly flustered, but could still calm down.

Xiao You was a real person, which meant the Great-Grandma he saw just now was real too. Their meeting was not an illusion, but they certainly did not leave the hospital building. Everyone was under the hallucination.

What kind of hallucinations can affect Cui Hua and Great-Grandma? “Let’s go and see if we can get out,” Li Xianyu said.

Xiao You grasped his hand tightly and her body was tense. She was afraid to turn back and looked down while she walked quickly. The two entered the corridor and went down the steps. The waiting hall they were in was on the fifth floor. Li Xianyu and Xiao You had never been to the fifth floor.

The footsteps of the two echoed in the silent corridor. In particular, the sound of Xiao You’s low-heeled shoes rang particularly clearly in the corridor. There was even an echo, and the sound of her footsteps rang upstairs and downstairs.

As they walked, Xiao You suddenly felt something was wrong. She heard the footsteps of a third person.

“Behind… There seems to be someone behind us. Did you hear footsteps?” Xiao You asked in a trembling voice.

“I heard it long ago, don’t look back. Pretend you don’t know it exists,” Li Xianyu whispered.

She nodded slightly and bowed her head even lower. She cradled Li Xianyu’s right arm tightly, and longed to hide her head in his arms.

The footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be touching their backs soon.

Xiao You also heard it as she sensed that the thing was right behind her. She suddenly trembled all over and whimpered twice.

“It’s right behind me,” Xiao You muttered extremely softly.

“I sense it too,” Li Xianyu said.

“Do you know? It’s pinching my butt.”

“Oh, that’s me.”

Xiao You’s eyes widened in disbelief, as she raised her palm-sized face. Are you the devil? You are still molesting me at such a moment.

“Just treat it as a protection fee. You can leave if you are unhappy. We can part ways.” Li Xianyu turned and looked back. He then glanced away and shrugged.

“What did you see?” Xiaoyou asked.

“A woman who was walking backwards,” Li Xianyu answered.

“Walking backwards?”

“Mm, because her face is behind her head.”

Xiao You shivered, and her hand that was clinging onto Li Xianyu exerted more force.

Now, even if I were to say that I wanted to have sex with her, she won’t dare to reject me. Li Xianyu suddenly had a clearer understanding of “taking advantage of another’s perilous state.”

“I’m telling you now, when we played Bunshinsaba, I didn’t write the blood-red words on the white paper. Do you believe it?” Li Xianyu pinched her little buttocks again.

Xiao You nodded and she didn’t want to talk.

“We really summoned the Bunshinsaba, but it wasn’t one, but a group. A group of vengeful spirits had been summoned by us. If you hadn’t courted death and played Bunshinsaba, we wouldn’t be in this situation.” Li Xianyu pushed the blame to the beautiful woman anchor.

Of course, he would not admit to pushing the blame. He felt that he had found the crux of the problem. It wasn’t that he was a trouble magnet, but the Bunshinsaba game may have triggered a certain existence, or a group.

They didn’t just summon one Bunshinsaba, but a group.

He wondered why there were so many vengeful spirits, but he still couldn’t figure out why. He thought that this might be the hospital’s biggest secret.

They walked for more than a dozen minutes and the footsteps also followed them for more than a dozen minutes. However, they did not walk to the first floor. There seemed to be no end to the stairs. Not only was there no first floor, but from the fifth floor into the hallway, they never saw any other floor exit.

Go straight down, go straight down, as if going to hell.

The female ghost behind them was like a hell warden, bringing two souls to hell.

“We don’t have to continue walking. There’s no end to it.” Li Xianyu stopped and sighed.

“What do we do then?” Xiao You asked subconsciously as she ran out of ideas completely. She depended fully on Li Xianyu now.

“Settle what’s behind us.” As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianyu cradled the back of Xiao You’s head and pressed her face into her chest.

At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and triggered the power of qi and blood. Summoning lightning, he struck a blow towards the female ghost behind him.

With Li Xianyu’s current strength, he did not need to learn special exorcism spells. He could use qi and blood to deliver shocks and vengeful spirits would disintegrate. Not to mention, he paired with the Taoist orthodox lightning technique.

The female ghost put up little resistance. Before Li Xianyu could get in contact with her, she twisted like a ripple of water, then disintegrated and completely disappeared.

No black smoke, no screams… Something’s wrong! She’s not a vengeful spirit.

“You said you saw that there were a lot of ghosts sitting behind me in the waiting hall. There were a lot, right?”

Xiao You didn’t understand why he asked this. She nodded and said, “A lot, a lot, full of ghosts.”

Full of ghosts…

The bloody words on the white paper, the ghostly silhouette above Xiao You’s head that was reflected on the wall, the woman in white in the corridor, the ghost riding on the actor’s neck…

“What are you thinking about?” Xiao You’s words interrupted his thought process. He looked down and the little beauty in his arms looked up with a pitiful gaze.

“The female ghost behind us is gone,” he said.

Xiao You looked back with trepidation. There was no terrifying figure and she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“We don’t have to continue walking, we can’t walk out.” Li Xianyu sat down on the steps, patted his side and motioned Xiao You to sit beside him.

The beautiful woman anchor was very obedient and followed what he said. She sat down next to him, still holding his arms to have a sense of security.

“Have you ever heard of hitting the wall? That’s what we encountered. We can’t go out. There’s no need to waste your energy.” Li Xianyu lit a cigarette, and the faint light of the lighter flame lit up the obedient appearance of the beautiful woman anchor.

She should be about 25 years old and had long legs. Women who dared to wear long cotton pants normally had long legs and perky buttocks. Otherwise, they wouldn’t look good. She was also pretty and had light makeup. As they were doing an outdoor supernatural live broadcast, she did not wear cosmetic contact lenses, let alone those 18 meters long false eyelashes that Li Xianyu absolutely hated.

For such a beauty, in the past Li Xianyu could give her eight points. But now it was about seven points. Li Xianyu used to have sex with a girl who had around the same level of beauty, and had spent one month of his allowance.

“You probably don’t sing well, and you don’t like to play games,” Li Xianyu said casually.

Xiao You was surprised by what he said and glanced over, as he was right.

“It’s not surprising. You look like this, but actually followed the trend to film supernatural live broadcast. You are not a supernatural love either, which indicates that you don’t have other aspects of talent.” Li Xianyu huffed out smoke. “I have seen live broadcasts before, first-class female anchors sing and second-rate female anchors play games. Let’s not even mention third and fourth-class anchors, they just sit and talk silly chatter. They talk nonsense all day, watching them live is a waste of your life.”

“I do silly chatter,” Xiao You said, aggrieved. She added, “I could broadcast at the gym and show off my figure.”

Li Xianyu scoffed. “What figure, there’s nothing good to show with xiao long baos”.

Xiao You was even more aggrieved. “I didn’t know there are really ghosts here, the anchor last time didn’t encounter ghosts. Why did I encounter them? I’m timid and was afraid of ghosts since I was a child. This scared me to death. I’m afraid that I will die here. Please don’t abandon me.” She bowed her head and sobbed, her tears pattering.

“Take a puff.” Li Xianyu handed the cigarette in front of her, and the beautiful anchor looked up tearfully.

“Smoking relaxes your mood.” Li Xianyu tempted her.

She took the cigarette and took a hard puff. However, it was too hard and she choked and coughed violently. Her throat was burning, and she burst into tears.

Li Xianyu laughed. “You don’t know how to smoke.”

Xiao You was indignant and took a puff again. But this time, she learned and did not swallow. She held the breath in her mouth, and then huffed it out, looking at Li Xianyu proudly.

She held onto the cigarette, but she didn’t smoke, nor gave it back to Li Xianyu. She placed her head on his shoulder, but was pushed away by Li Xianyu. She bit her lip in disappointment. “What do we do now?”

“Wait,” Li Xianyu said.

Great-Grandma had never let him down. He had seen through the truth and believed that Great-Grandma would also notice the secret of the hospital. Sooner or later, he would be saved.

The practice of spiritual strength depends more on accumulation than on training qi. With Slime, I can improve my qi cultivation immensely, but I can’t improve my mental power. This is my deficiency, but there is no quick way to do it. Li Xianyu reflected on his weaknesses.

In addition to the mental power awakeners, those who had strong wills, had been through a lot, to cultivate an iron stone will. Buddhist meditation, and increasing Taoist understanding were ways to practice spiritual strength if one was not born with it. However, persistence over a long period of time was the key to success.

“Save me, save me…” In the dark, a voice suddenly rang.

Li Xianyu startled and stood up suddenly. He looked around. “Did you hear the sound?”

Xiao You looked up blankly/ “What sound?”

Didn’t you hear?! Am I the only one who heard it? He did not panic but opened the spiritual eye. He swept through every corner of the hallway and did not let go of any clues.

“Save me. Save me. Hurry. Please save me.” A girl’s voice rang and she sounded pitiful, crying like a helpless and poor cat.

“Did you hear that?” Li Xianyu asked again, but Xiao You shook her head blankly.

“Save me, save me. Save me, save me…”
