Chapter 203: Woman In A White Dress
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Li Xianyu ran to the second floor, looking left and right as tears rolled down his face. When he rushed to the second floor, the burning sensation in his spiritual eye subsided. There was only an unconscious Wang Xue lying in the corridor.
“Gone? But why isn’t there a remaining aura of resentment?” Li Xianyu first helped Wang Xue up, and leaned her carefully against the wall. He then searched around in his wallet and pulled out a dim national emblem.
He placed the national emblem in Wang Xue’s pocket and murmured, “The glory of socialism will protect you.”
He pushed through the hallway, exploring the wards one by one. It was empty and dilapidated, and the spiritual eye was unresponsive. He found no trace of resentment. This was very unscientific.
In ancient times, there was a kind of Taoist method called “Aura Sensing Technique” and the core of it was “the spirit of all things.” Everything in the world has its unique aura, and if it had existed, it would certainly remain.
The scene in front of him was a blow to his shallow supernatural knowledge, as there was no aura of resentment in the hallway.
This Bunshinsaba is a little naughty, playing guerrilla warfare with me?
After checking again that Wang Xue wasn’t hurt, Li Xianyu did not go downstairs to meet Great-Grandma, but went to the third floor. If he remembered correctly, there was also an actor on the third floor. The Bunshinsaba was not here, and it was likely that it would find trouble with the one upstairs.
He ran up the stairs for a while and sensed something was wrong. Where’s the third floor?
There were only two levels of stairs between the second and third floors, but what he saw in front of him was not a corridor on the third floor, but a wall. It was as if he had only run one staircase, but Li Xianyu knew that if he ran down, he would see the same scene.
Hitting a wall! He encountered the most common phenomenon in ghost stories. Li Xianyu knew that the supposed hitting a wall, was in fact, is a kind of spiritual illusion. The vengeful spirit affected the human sensory consciousness, thus creating the effect of hitting a wall.
No matter how one walked, one wouldn’t be able to get out of an area. It was like entering a maze.
However, it was only a low-level illusion. He was a big guy who has experienced Long Aotian’s virtual world.
The simplest way to break down low-level illusions was to stimulate the spirit. The simplest and most effective way, of course, was self-mutilation.
Li Xianyu did not panic at all, as he reached out and took out the knife. He pierced it into his waist and the blood gushed out at once. The pain caused him to exhale.
He figured out this trick in Hu Xinyue’s illusion, and later the company’s seniors also said that this was the simplest and most effective method, but ordinary people dare not do it. After all, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to stab themselves.
However, there wasn’t any use. The wall was still a wall and was a solid obstruction. The third floor did not appear.
Li Xianyu was speechless. He not only stabbed himself for nothing, and he didn’t resolve the problem of hitting the wall. If it was an ordinary person, they would be furious. Li Xianyu was confused and he didn’t know what was going on. Am I not in an illusion? This wall is real?
He cradled his waist and ran up one more floor in one breath. According to logic, it was the fourth floor, but like the third floor, the entrance to the fourth floor was a wall. He then went back and found that the second floor was gone. He was trapped in the ghost wall.
If so, there was only one last explanation.
The ghost wall was too powerful, that it surpassed the illusionary array of Hu Xinyue, who was proficient in magic.
Li Xianyu leaned helplessly against the wall and lit a cigarette. What is this? Is this really just a haunted place? When did the vengeful spirit become so powerful?
(╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻
Since he couldn’t resolve the ghost wall, the best option was to sit down and rest. He wouldn’t be like the fools on TV, beating around the wall until they are exhausted.
“Come out if you dare. If you don’t come out, I won’t leave. I just bought the cigarettes in my pocket, I have all the time in the world to waste on you.” Li Xianyu sat down against the wall and waited patiently for Cui Hua and Great-Grandma to find him.
His combat ability had improved significantly now, but his mental strength was still weak. He wasn’t afraid of the opponent having a hard head, but he was afraid of psychological attacks.
He was only worried about the gang who had been courting death. The abandoned hospital has hidden mysteries. It was by no means as simple as vengeful spirits. Things were completely out of Li Xianyu’s control.
He was afraid that the gang would encounter accidents, and even Wang Xue on the third floor may not be safe. He could only count on Great-Grandma to be kind and look after them.
However, this wasn’t definite. After spending two months with Great-Grandma, he knew her extremely well. No, not that kind of very well, what were you thinking?
Great-Grandma, who looked like an adorable eighteen-year-old woman, was 150 years in spirit. Her long life gave her experience and insight, but also caused her to be aloof.
Her gentleness, tantrums, acting cute and kindness was limited to Li Xianyu, the last remaining descendant of the Li family.
Amongst the Baoze seniors that Li Xianyu was close to, no one thought that Great-Grandma was easy to get along with. She was cold and domineering and didn’t get close to people. If her great-grandson wasn’t there, she wouldn’t even smile. Such a person would not care about the lives of a few mortals.
...
“Where’s your boyfriend?” Xiao You looked back at Great-Grandma behind her.
“I don’t know.” Great-Grandma was expressionless.
Xiao You replied with, “Oh,” and did not continue to ask. Ever since they met at the hospital entrance, this little girl had been silent. She only spoke a few sentences to her and it was impossible for guys to flirt with her.
She was incredibly proud. However, she was a beauty and beauties have privileges to do so. Xiao You was a beauty herself and didn’t think much of it. At most, she snarked in her heart:
Oh, this little bitch looks like a fox spirit. Oh please, why are you pretending to be arrogant and cold. So what if you are beautiful?
For women, these comments were nothing. They were already very gentle.
“Audience members, we lost a partner on our team. I hope he won’t meet with an accident.” Xiao You looked worried/ “There are unclean things in this hospital. I suspect the Bunshinsaba has not left yet and has been following us. When the live broadcast is over, I will go consult a monk.”
She then continued to act cute to ask for gifts.
The gang left the second floor and went down the stairs into the third floor, which was almost the same as the second floor. It was dark and silent, except that the doors of all the wards were closed, as if there were still people living in the room.
“Why are the doors closed? And why are they different from the ones below?” Xiao You’s expression didn’t change. She took all the anomalies as things arranged by the actors, thus she was fearless.
Clack clack clack…
At this moment, the eerie sound of footsteps rang in the dark, echoing in the silent corridor.
Xiao You looked back, and Wang Sizhuo’s flashlight shined towards that direction at the same time. She saw a woman in a white dress standing at the end of the hallway. Her head was bowed and her hair was disheveled.
“Ah!!”
Two screams pierced through the silence, and they came from Xu Qingqing and Xiao You. Wang Sizhuo exclaimed in shock, as the flashlight fell to the ground. He bowed down in embarrassment, picked up the flashlight and flashed it back again.
The women in the white dress was still here and was getting closer to them.
Xiao You and Xu Qingqing’s screams were half true and half false, but it was not the fear of ghosts. With the sudden appearance of such a woman in the dark hallway, even if they knew she was an actor, the girls would scream subconsciously.
Xiao You looked at the screen, which was spammed with comments.
“Scary things ahead.”
“What the fuck, there’s really a ghost?”
“Come on, go see if it’s true or not. If the broadcast anchor dares to go over there, I’ll give you 5000 dollars.”
...
There were comments of “Great” that filled the screen.
Fool, you came out too early. With such a fast pace, I cannot drag this live broadcast unil 02:00 A.M, Xiao You thought.
A supernatural live broadcast wasn’t really for seeing ghosts, but to use the environment to create various unexplained supernatural phenomena to increase the excitement of the audience.
Like with the heroine in the novel, if she were to have sex with the male lead in the first chapter, the reader wouldn’t have any enjoyment. There must be a lot of flirting and a lot of misunderstandings, before the male and female lead got together. That would be perfect.
However, things had progressed to this stage and she didn’t have a choice. She pretended to be afraid, and carefully approached the woman in white.
Xiao You and Xu Qingqing were really shocked, but Wang Sizhuo faked it. He knew the script and knew that it was not time for the actor to appear. He deliberately dropped the flashlight, which was a chance for the actor to hide.
However, Wang Xue remained motionless.
Something’s not right. In the few seconds where the flashlight fell, she crossed a distance of a dozen meters. And there isn’t any sound of footsteps. The dress doesn’t seem to be quite the same. Hmm, this isn’t Wang Xue right? Wang Sizhuo wondered in shock.
When Xiao You was three meters away from the woman in white, she suddenly found that her mobile phone’s signal had vanished, as the comments didn’t scroll across the screen.
“Hmm, why is there no signal?” Xiao You looked back and exclaimed in frustration. “Come and see what’s going on! There’s no signal! I’m still broadcasting. Wang Xue, why aren’t you talking? My signal has been cut off, so you don’t have to continue acting,” she said to the woman in white.
In one of the wards behind them, a woman in a white dress happened to crawl out and her hair was disheveled.
...
The air suddenly quieted down.
Xu Qingqing almost screamed the house down, and she jumped with fear. Wang Sizhuo also cried out in horror and finally lost his calm.
“It’s me. I’m Wang Xue.” Wang Xue swept her hair behind her ear. She looked around and woke up after hearing noises. She was very happy to see her partners of the live broadcast team, but when she saw Xiao You and the woman in the white dress, Wang Xue turned ashen pale.
“Wang Xue?!” Wang Sizhuo’s flashed the light on her face, as Wang Xue raised her hand to block the light. He murmured, “Then who is the woman over there?”
The air quieted down again, and Xiao You’s scalp grew numb.
