The lights came on again.
Tangning saw the ghost nurse standing at the end of the corridor. This time she appeared closer than before.
She stood there motionless, maintaining the same posture as the last time Tang Ning saw her, limping with a strange smile on her face.
It seemed as if she didn't just walk in the darkness, but appeared by teleportation.
"I'm going to run to another room right now! This NPC is in charge of finding the child! Once I find the child and give it to her, she'll leave!" The boy standing at the end of the team commanded, "I heard that the place where the child hides is random each time."
There are rooms on both sides of the corridor.
There were six rooms on each side, and he would have preferred to have six people. Logically, the most efficient way would be for each person to go into a room to search. However, half of the team members were timid, and Tangning was worried that there might be something really dirty here. So he asked, "Which room should I go to now?"
"Let's go!" The boy said without hesitation: "I'm leaving!"
As he said this, he bravely grabbed the clothes of the two girls beside him and rushed into the first room on the right with his companions. That was the room farthest from the female ghost. If this ghost nurse would only move forward a certain distance each time, then this group of people would not be in danger for a while, and it would indeed be more efficient to act in a head-on manner.
"Why don't I go to the second room on the left?" Tang Ning asked. He was mainly seeking Mo Yunchu's opinion. Tang Ning believed that if he searched fast enough, he should be able to find the child before the ghost nurse arrived at the door of the second room.
But this also has a risk, that is, everyone is too slow, so it is better to just choose the first room, so that at least the room can be searched thoroughly.
Tang Ning believed that with Mo Yunchu here, he should be able to complete the search mission alone. Doing so would also leave the relatively safe first room on the left for another ordinary person.
"Okay." Lu Yingxing and Mo Yunchu did not object to Tangning's opinion.
After everyone conspired loudly in front of the ghost nurse, the lights dimmed again and Tang Ning, Mo Yunchu and Lu Yingxing rushed into the room together.
"Can I turn on the light here?" Lu Yingxing's first reaction was to find the switch.
Click.
A dim red light lit up the silent room. Tang Ning could barely make out the general layout of the ward with the help of this strange light. It should be a double room.
A double room usually has two beds, but Tang Ning could only go to the bed closest to the door because there was a curtain next to the other bed, so that the patients on the double bed could have their own privacy.
But there was a large area of blood splattered on this curtain.
Apart from the blood-stained curtain, this room was not much different from the hospital scenes Tang Ning usually saw.
Unlike Tang Ning who was constantly observing the arrangements around him, Lu Yingxing subconsciously went to Tang Ning. If there was any panic on Tang Ning's face at this time, he would go forward to comfort him.
He walked to the cabinet calmly and reached out to pull the drawer.
He was very calm and composed, which ruined Lu Yingxing's plan of finding an opportunity to hug Tang Ning.
Suddenly, Lu Yingxing realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Lu Yingxing noticed Tang Ning's two hands were busy. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the hands he was holding.
Whose hand is this?!
Countless horror stories flooded into Lu Yingxing's mind. Lu Yingxing was so scared that he shook off the hand that he had been holding sweetly a second ago, and took several steps back in horror. When he raised his head again, he met Mo Yunchu's eyes.
Lu Yingxing: “?”
Lu Yingxing was shocked: "Why is it you?!"
Mo Yunchu said confidently: "I'm timid, I'm afraid."
Lu Yingxing recalled what he had just said. It seemed that he had said "Don't be afraid, hold my hand tightly." This sentence did not target Tang Ning by name, so even if Mo Yunchu shook his hand directly, Lu Yingxing could not blame him for anything.
However, when he thought about how he had just tried to touch that hand in the dark, Lu Yingxing felt a chill all over his body, and he desperately wiped that hand on his pants.
Seeing this, Mo Yunchu took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket, opened it in front of Lu Yingxing, and wiped his hand that was held by Lu Yingxing with the wet wipes. Although he was wearing a mask and a baseball cap and was not in a clear mind, his every move was full of disgust.
Lu Yingxing: “???”
"Why aren't you two moving?" Tang Ning urged.
Mo Yunchu and Lu Yingxing, who were disgusted with each other, finally took action and quickly searched the room together. Tang Ning found ultrasound photos and various medical records in the cabinet, which turned out to be various information about the pregnant woman in this room during her pregnancy.
Tang Ning didn't have time to think carefully. He stood up and found Mo Yunchu who was following him. Tang Ning took Mo Yunchu's hand with one hand and tried to put the documents back into the drawer with the other hand. However, Mo Yunchu took the documents away.
Tang Ning had one hand free, and he suddenly pulled open the quilt of the bed near the door!
If Tang Ning was alone at ordinary times, he would never dare to be so brave. But now Tang Ning and Mo Yunchu are in the same room. He believes that this powerful great master can definitely deal with any sudden danger.
Tangning completely lifted the quilt from the entire bed, revealing that there was no one on the bed.
Tang Ning felt a little relieved. To be on the safe side, he removed the pillows from the bed.
There was nothing special under the pillow.
"What are you doing..." Lu Yingxing saw Mo Yunchu and Tang Ning holding hands and didn't care about looking for the child anymore. He rushed over to stop them.
"I'm scared." Mo Yunchu said weakly.
Lu Yingxing looked at Mo Yunchu, who was a head taller than Tangning. He seriously suspected that Mo Yunchu had bad intentions. If he was really scared, he shouldn't have looked for Tangning. Did Tangning look like someone who could protect others?!
Lu Yingxing, who only wanted to hold Tang Ning in his hands, completely forgot about the town where Tang Ning was searching for the haunted house.
Alarm bells were ringing in his heart. Rather than letting Mo Yunchu stick to Tangning, he should sacrifice himself. Lu Yingxing gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you."
As he said this, he walked forward and tried to tear apart Mo Yunchu and Tang Ning's holding hands.
Mo Yunchu quickly stretched out a hand and blocked Lu Yingxing's hand in mid-air. He said in Lin Daiyu's tone, "Don't force it. I saw your performance just now."
Lu Yingxing struggled to arm wrestle with Mo Yunchu, forcing a fake smile full of social etiquette on his face: "No need to force it, I'm your fan, and I'm happy to protect you."
Yes, he had already planned to use the fan's name as a big deal. If anything happened later, he would use the excuse that fans love their idol and completely separate Mo Yunchu and Tangning.
This should make Tang Ning happy. After all, his motivation was the same as Tang Ning's, which was to protect his idol, Mo Yunchu.
After thinking through his next strategy, Lu Yingxing fearlessly stretched out his other empty hand, intending to separate Mo Yunchu and Tang Ning.
Mo Yunchu said bluntly: "But I don't want to shake hands with you."
Lu Yingxing was unmoved. When his hand was about to touch Tangning and Mo Yunchu's clasped hands, he suddenly heard Mo Yunchu say softly, "I don't like you touching me."
Lu Yingxing: “?”
Tangning: “?”
What? What's with the touching?!
Tang Ning looked at Lu Yingxing in confusion and shock.
Lu Yingxing was so choked up that he was speechless. He understood what Mo Yunchu was talking about, but he didn't want to touch Mo Yunchu's hand. Why was there anything good about touching a grown man's hand?! He had touched that hand because he thought it was Tangning's!
Obviously, this sentence couldn't be said directly to Tang Ning.
It's fun to do it in the dark, but it seems a bit vulgar when you talk about it.
"…It was an accident." Lu Yingxing said with difficulty.
Mo Yunchu did not respond immediately upon hearing this. Instead, he quietly stretched out his fingers and rubbed them in circles on Tang Ning's palm.
A tingling sensation spread from the palm of his hand. Being gently touched by another person would make him feel itchy, let alone Tangning's skin, which was so sensitive. His fingertips and wrists trembled, and a faint blush appeared on his face. "What are you doing?"
Lu Yingxing had never heard Tang Ning's voice so soft before, so he was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Tangning with pitiful eyes, Mo Yunchu said softly, "He just touched me like this."
Tangning, who was still blaming Mo Yunchu a second ago, was immediately distracted. He looked at Lu Yingxing with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and asked with a puffy and aggrieved look, "What did you just do?"
His lover actually flirted with someone else behind his back!
How can you, how can you touch another person's hand like this? !
Tang Ning now felt an itch in the area where she was touched.
His little brain was spinning rapidly for a moment, and he immediately thought of Lu Yingxing's initiative to hold Mo Yunchu's hand, and what he said about protecting you being his pleasure. Wait, could it be that Lu Yingxing is addicted to taking advantage of her? !
If Lu Yingxing had touched someone else, Tangning wouldn't have been so nervous, but Mo Yunchu was just too good. He had good looks, a good personality, good acting skills, was a good cook, and was very strong... He could hardly find any flaws in Mo Yunchu. He even thought that if she was Tangning's own, he would probably be attracted to such a good person.
Tangning remembered that Lu Yingxing also admired Mo Yunchu's presence...
Looking into Tang Ning's moist eyes, Lu Yingxing was so stunned that he couldn't utter a word.
He didn't understand Tang Ning's train of thought at all, because he didn't think he had shown any sign of liking Mo Yunchu at all.
Lu Yingxing thought Tangning was just being shy.
He felt that Tangning must have known that he wanted to hold Tangning's hand, which meant that his original intention of taking advantage of her was exposed.
"I was wrong." Lu Yingxing apologized straightforwardly.
It would have been fine if he didn't apologize. His apology confirmed Tang Ning's suspicions. If Lu Yingxing hadn't had some unspeakable feelings for Mo Yunchu, why would he apologize so quickly
Tangning's lips moved.
His tears suddenly came out.
In fact, he had always been insecure about his relationship with the prince. He couldn't figure out what made him worthy of this person loving him so deeply, loving him to the point of being willing to give his life for him.
After thinking about it, Tang Ning felt that it might be because of her good-looking face.
The reason why Lu Yingxing likes him so much must be because of his face.
But now there is Mo Yunchu who is as good-looking as him, but has a completely different style from him. Not only is he good-looking, he has many other advantages. He is also an actor Lu Yingxing likes. It seems normal for Lu Yingxing to have some other thoughts.
Tang Ning's nose felt a little sour.
Is this what it feels like to have your girlfriend stolen from you
Tang Ning raised his eyes and looked at Mo Yunchu beside him. He did not mean to blame Mo Yunchu because he always believed that when there was a problem in a relationship between a couple, the one who should bear the biggest responsibility was not the one who made the mistake, but the one who made the mistake.
What was wrong with Mo Yunchu? He was just too charming.
And since Mo Yunchu has made it clear, it means that he is not willing to have anything happen between him and Lu Yingxing.
Tang Ning looked at Lu Yingxing uncomfortably again. Now that Lu Yingxing had apologized, besides, they were not in a relationship now, so if Lu Yingxing really wanted to pursue someone else, he didn't need to apologize to him.
"Keep looking." Tang Ning said dejectedly.
Seeing that Tang Ning was in a bad mood, Lu Yingxing did not dare to disturb her anymore and could only follow her closely.
Mo Yunchu held Tang Ning's hand with a kind heart, the corners of his lips raised so much that they almost flew up to the sky.
He came to the second bed. Unlike the empty first bed, there was obviously someone hiding under the quilt of the second bed!
The undulating outline of the quilt looks like a pregnant woman lying on it!
Tang Ning's heart began to beat rapidly. Seeing this strange scene, he was too busy to be sad.
Why don't you lift the quilt now?!
Tang Ning asked Mo Yunchu and Lu Yingxing, but the two did not express any opinions. As for Lu Yingxing, he knew that Tang Ning had been to a haunted house before, so he was more willing to listen to Tang Ning's opinions on this matter.
Since there was a bedside table next to the bed, Tang Ning decided to look through the bedside table. If the child he was looking for was in the table, then he wouldn't have to take the risk of lifting the quilt.
Tang Ning held Mo Yunchu's hand and walked towards the bedside table step by step. With every step, Tang Ning paid attention to the movements on the bed, fearing that the thing would jump up and pounce on her.
The person on the bed was covered from head to toe. The bedding was yellow and white, with some blood splattered on it, especially on the abdomen.
This reminded Tang Ning of the corpse covered with white cloth in the morgue.
Tang Ning's heart beat faster and faster. He finally walked to the bedside table and carefully reached out to pull the cabinet.
The things on the bed were still silent.
Tang Ning swallowed and took out some information from the cabinet that was similar to the one in another cabinet.
The lights were too dim, with only a faint red glow. Tang Ning glanced through the information and found nothing unusual about it. He did not find anything unusual himself, so he gave it to Mo Yunchu behind him.
Tang Ning remembered that Mo Yunchu had taken away similar information before.
While Tang Ning was rummaging through the cabinet, Lu Yingxing had already searched other places but didn't find any children.
"Should we lift the blanket now?" Tangning asked nervously, "I've searched the entire room, but this is the only bed I can't find."
"There is still one place I haven't found yet." Mo Yunchu said.
Tangning quickly asked, "Where is it?"
"Under the bed."
Yes, it is true that no one has searched under the two beds.
However, this room was very dark. The only light was a little red light coming from above. Even if you crawled under the bed, you could only see darkness.
If you don't want to find something strange, you can use a clothes hanger or something like that to explore under the bed.
Just as Tangning was about to look for something like a hanger, he suddenly heard Lu Yingxing scream. Tangning turned to look at Lu Yingxing and saw that his face was filled with fear. His eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly open, and his fingers were trembling as he pointed to the door.
The limping ghost nurse appeared at the door of the room at some point. She looked at everyone in the room with her pale eyes and a creepy smile on her face.
The moment she entered the room, the light bulb that had been emitting a steady red glow flickered, and the entire room was plunged into darkness in an instant!
A strange friction sound came from behind Tang Ning. It was so dark in there that Tang Ning couldn't see his hand in front of him. Naturally, he didn't notice a woman's hand reaching out from under the quilt!
However, after playing the card game so many times, Tang Ning has developed a sense of danger.
Being attacked from both sides, he felt goose bumps all over his body as he stood up in fear. Tang Ning held Mo Yunchu's hand tightly, and in his other hand he held the golden spell talisman that he had taken out from the space ring.
what to do?!
Tang Ning pinched Mo Yunchu's hand and wrote an "l" on Mo Yunchu's hand.
He didn't dare to speak rashly now, for fear of alarming that thing, so he had no choice but to use this method to remind Mo Yunchu to pay attention to Lu Yingxing. Just now, Lu Yingxing's position was closer to Mo Yunchu.
In the darkness, Mo Yunchu reluctantly extended a helping hand to Lu Yingxing who was standing beside him.
In fact, Lu Yingxing was also quite frightened at this moment.
When Mo Yunchu held Lu Yingxing's hand accurately, Lu Yingxing was almost frightened to the point of breakdance.
Although he was so frightened that he wanted to run away, Lu Yingxing was still forced to calm down by reason. He touched Mo Yunchu's hand. From the texture and size, he knew it was Mo Yunchu as soon as he touched it.
Lu Yingxing didn't want to fall into the same pit twice, so he resolutely shook off Mo Yunchu's hand and turned to touch inside. He remembered that Tang Ning was a little closer to the front.
In the cold darkness, Lu Yingxing suddenly touched a hand.
Much smaller than Mo Yunchu's hand.
Very cold.
Tactile...
Before Lu Yingxing could figure out what was going on, that hand suddenly and fiercely grabbed him!
The faint red light lit up again, illuminating the pale hand that Lu Yingxing was holding. The nails were dark black and the back of the hand was covered with corpse spots. Following the wrist up the arm, one could see that this hand was sticking out from under the quilt of the second bed!
Countless dense tremors jumped up from the place where his arm was held. Lu Yingxing's entire arm seemed to be paralyzed at this moment. He tried to shake his hand frantically, but this hand was so big that not only could he not shake it off, but it also suddenly dragged Lu Yingxing and tried to take him to the bed!
"Hurry—" Lu Yingxing turned around and asked everyone for help, but the next second, he was faced with a ghost face with a strange smile!
The extremely close distance allowed Lu Yingxing to see the pale face covered with corpse spots and bloodstains, the crooked nurse cap, the messy hair, and the eyes full of resentment!
No one knows when this horrible ghost nurse appeared in front of Lu Yingxing, staring at Lu Yingxing whose pupils kept shrinking. The fishy and cold smell hit her in the face and permeated half of Lu Yingxing's body. The deep resentment broke through Lu Yingxing's body like an ice blade, and seemed to cruelly drill into the depths of Lu Yingxing's soul, leaving Lu Yingxing speechless!
The next second, Lu Yingxing's eyes rolled up, revealing the whites of his eyes. After two great stimulations and Yin entering his body in such a short period of time, he actually fainted.
"What's wrong?!" Tangning asked hurriedly when he heard Lu Yingxing's voice. He had been staring at the door, looking for the ghost nurse. When he heard the noise not far away, he quickly went to where Lu Yingxing made the sound.
The room fell into darkness again.
Tangning didn't arrive at anything.
The ghost nurse in the dark and the thing on the bed pulled the unconscious Lu Yingxing into the bed.
"Lu Yingxing?" Tang Ning called out in panic.
"I'm fine." A clear voice sounded low in the darkness.
Tangning was relieved to hear that Lu Yingxing could still speak. However, if there were lights on, Tangning would have seen someone who said the same thing as Lu Yingxing—
It was Mo Yunchu who narrowed his eyes in pleasure.
Changing the voice is a basic skill for an actor, and Mo Yunchu was able to imitate the voice vividly. It was easy for Mo Yunchu to imitate Lu Yingxing's voice, and even Tang Ning couldn't hear the difference.
Mo Yunchu didn't know how to deal with Hehexian. Now he could only try to come up with a few possible methods by himself, such as letting Lu Yingxing's Yin enter his body to weaken his Yang and disrupt the most important yin and yang balance of Hehexian.
With Lu Yingxing's condition, he had no way of getting rid of the hand of the thing on the bed, let alone getting rid of Mo Yunchu who was intentionally holding him.
The reason why Lu Yingxing was able to easily shake off Mo Yunchu just now was because Mo Yunchu also intended to let go.
He planned to use the things in this place to defeat Hehexian.
I didn't expect Lu Yingxing to be frightened to faint.
It was better for him to faint because it would allow him and Tang Ning to have some time alone.
Mo Yunchu took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the thing on the bed. The pregnant woman who was sleeping in Lu Yingxing's arms slowly climbed off the bed.
"Lu Yingxing" said nervously, "Let me run."
Mo Yunchu echoed, “Let’s go!”
Since "Lu Yingxing" and Mo Yunchu said so, Tang Ning naturally had no objection. He held Mo Yunchu's hand tightly and ran in the darkness under the guidance of Mo Yunchu.
His heart was beating violently, and there was thick darkness all around him. However, Tang Ning hoped that the lights would not suddenly come on, because he didn't know where the ghost nurse would appear in the next second.
Although nothing could be seen in the dark, Tang Ning had great confidence in Mo Yunchu's ability to lead the way.
How is Lu Yingxing now? Is he able to find his way
Tang Ning soon felt relieved because he heard two other footsteps besides his own, moving in an orderly manner.
One is from Mo Yunchu.
A ghost pregnant woman controlled by Mo Yunchu.
