Chapter 10: The Top of the Storm 39
On the first floor of the hospital, it was close to midnight at this timeβ
The corridor on the first floor is dark and dreary, and the street lights in the hallway have been turned off. Only the faint green light emanating from the emergency exit signs, and the chill coming from the morgue can be felt from time to time.
Nicole and Lloyd hid at the top of the stairs, quietly looking out at the morgue.
"Why do I always feel as if I hear someone crying?" Nicole asked tremblingly, clutching Lloyd's arm in fear.
"The eldest lady who is not afraid of heaven and earth is still afraid of these things that do not exist!?" Lloyd said softly and teasingly, so as not to alarm people who should not be alarmed.
"You're a master of psychology yourself, don't you know?! Fear comes from the unknown, and it is because you don't know that you are afraid! You're so mysterious that we're here, what if Xiao Zhang really comes out of it? That's not what you mean!? Nicole said tremblingly, thinking of the tragic scene when Xiao Zhang was electrocuted, although she didn't want to accept the reality that he was dead, but if he was resurrected like this, it would be the most terrifying unacceptable reality.
"It's not exactly, anything is possible. Just like the crystal skull in your collection, you should know its legend. Do you believe it or not? Lloyd turned his head, opened his mouth, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be a skull.
"Faith! But until all the skulls are collected, I'm sure no one will know the answer. Nicole tapped Lloyd on the head and told him to be serious.
Lloyd put away his expression and looked back into the terrifyingly dimly lit aisle.
"Where did you let Townsend and Kathu go?" Nicole asked curiously.
"You'll find out in a moment." Lloyd still said mysteriously.
Lloyd and Nicole stared earnestly at the eerie morgue door.
"Phew...... "......The bell of the bell tower in front of the hospital was heard outside the building.
This sudden sound startled both Lloyd and Nicole, and Lloyd exhaled, and Nicole pinched a cold sweat.
At this time, the door of the morgue did not move, but footsteps could be heard in the corridor behind him.
Nicole glanced back alertly, and a shadow was already reflected on the wall of the hallway.
Loyd motioned to leave and took Nicole down to the second floor.
The two of them held their breath, wondering who else would be here at midnight.
Unexpectedly, there was a small voice in the aisle behind him, which made Lloyd and Nicole shiver.
Lloyd looked through the window on the doorway on the second floor, and there was a handprint on a dusty warehouse door.
"Lloyd, there can't really be a ghost, right!?" Nicole was very nervous, she had never experienced such a terrible thing at such a time and on such an occasion in her life.
Loyd shook his head slightly, and asked Nicole to follow him, and the two quietly walked to the door of the old warehouse, leaning against the wall, listening to the movement inside.
A fierce voice came from inside: "Director Zeng, our boss can't wait, if you don't help us get a good and healthy heart, maybe you will never see your wife and children again!" β
"Don't! You're breaking the law! I can't promise you! Another man's questioning voice was heard inside.
"Oh? It doesn't seem to be your turn to break the law and break the law, right? It's sad and ridiculous that you can't protect yourself now, and you can't protect your wife and children. Then you pay back the million in gambling debts! The fierce voice threatened aggressively.
Nicole looked at Lloyd and whispered in Lloyd's ear: "Isn't this Director Zeng's voice the doctor who rescued Xiao Zhang today?" I didn't expect him to be a gambler. β
Lloyd nodded.
"Hey...... What do you want? Director Zeng sighed helplessly.
"That's right, in the end, you will be given ten days, no matter what means, to get me a complete and healthy heart, our boss has already arranged everything in the private hospital, just wait for this heart. If you can't wait, then use your wife...... Or your child's heart! The vicious voice threatened in a frenzied manner.
Nicole clenched her fists to go in and teach the bastard a lesson, but was stopped by Roy.
Nicole looked at Lloyd angrily, feeling that such a scumbag was really angry if he didn't teach him a lesson.
Loyd shook his head, meaning that now was not the time.
Nicole took a step back with her left foot and touched a broom on the edge of the warehouse door.
The broom fell to the ground with a "snap", and in the silent midnight corridor, the sound was very loud.
"Who!" The vicious man shouted, then rushed to the door of the warehouse and saw the broom lying on the ground.
"Maybe it's something unclean, but there are dead people lying on the first floor...... Director Zeng said with a horrified expression.
"Fart! Lao Tzu doesn't believe this, don't you know that ghosts are still afraid of the wicked?! The wicked man said very sideways, looked at the gloomy corridor, and then spat fiercely on the ground.
Director Zeng didn't say anything anymore.
Nicole and Lloyd have returned to the hallway, back to the negative first floor.
"Look, Lloyd! The door to the morgue was opened! Nicole said in a crying voice in horror, Nicole, who has experienced various life and death scenes, still can't stop the fear of these in the girl's heart, as well as the disgusting feeling of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Unexpectedly, Lloyd smiled weirdly and said softly: "Look carefully, there is a good show to watch." β
Nicole held her breath and slowly poked her head out to look at the open door of the morgue.
I saw a skull dressed in a death dress, walking in front. It turned out to be Xiao Zhang following behind!
Xiao Zhang was expressionless, his pace was slow, and he had been covered with a black cloth.
Nicole's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at everything in front of her, unable to speak.
Lloyd was also slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down, because everything was as expected.
Lloyd slapped Nicole, and Nicole was shocked! Only then did he come to his senses, breathe a sigh of relief, and then pointed to the two people who came out of the morgue, perhaps not the shadows of people.
The skull dressed in black slowly came to the staircase, and Xiao Zhang moved step by step to follow.
Nicole quickly gestured to Lloyd, run up or dodge?
Lloyd pointed to the second floor and motioned to run down.
The door of the stairwell "...... ...... squeak", and was gently pushed away.
Nicole and Lloyd hid on the stairs on the second floor, watching the shadows of the door shaking as they pushed open......
At this time, the villain on the second floor seemed to have finished talking to Director Zeng, and the footsteps of the two were getting closer and closer to the staircase.
"What to do?! Lloyd?! Nicole found that there was no way back, and she was blocked in the middle of the stairs on the first and second floors.
"People and ghosts, which one are you more afraid of?!" Lloyd asked with a wicked smile......
