Ten minutes passed quickly, and twenty-one people regrouped in the middle of the hall on the first floor.

The torrential rain outside the psychiatric hospital continued, but the noise of the storm reached the room, and only a faint whimper remained, like a man crying and whispering in the dark, making the atmosphere extremely eerie.

"Go to the second floor."

The bus driver gave the order, and no one objected, and everyone continued to search in the same way as they had just formed a team.

Just when Zhuo Xuan's mood was slightly relaxed, the walkie-talkie pinned to everyone's waist suddenly made a noise.

"Zizi..."

"II...... One...... Zero Seven ...... Zizizizi. ”

An unfamiliar voice sounded on the walkie-talkie, Zhuo Xuan's steps slammed, and he almost reflexively pinched the walkie-talkie on his waist.

The bus driver still looked unfazed, he took off the walkie-talkie, put it to his mouth and responded: "Wait a minute, this is it!" ”

"Keep up!"

Zhuo Xuan did not hesitate and followed closely behind the bus driver.

In the room, in the room, what is going on?

Suddenly, Zhuo Xuan's eyes flashed, and a black shadow flashed in front of him. The figure turned his head, and there was a provocative mocking smile in his eyes—

It's the woman who mocked herself before!

The anger in his heart flashed away, and the tingling pain in his wrist suddenly intensified, making Zhuo Xuan's drowsy mind from fear and anger immediately sober up.

This woman!

Zhuo Xuan bit his lip.

She must have discovered my secret, too.

didn't do much entanglement, and Zhuo Xuan didn't want to cause dissatisfaction with the bus driver who was temporarily the captain. A group of six of them hurried to the position reported on the walkie-talkie, and before they could get close, Zhuo Xuan saw a black oppressive ...... Everyone gathered in this hallway.

No, not everyone!

In the path of light illuminated by the searchlight, dust particles flew quietly.

Although it was impossible to see everyone clearly at a glance, Zhuo Xuan clearly felt that the number of people had decreased slightly!

Don't......

A strange atmosphere permeated the crowd, and no one said a word.

When he saw the bus driver coming, the crowd automatically split a road, and Zhuo Xuan was able to follow the bus driver to the front, but when his eyes stopped on the ground, his stomach couldn't help but churn!

Is that...... Corpse!

The corpse in a white hazmat suit fell to the hard, cold ground, sticky. Thick blood seeped from the corpse's neck and flowed to the ground; Zhuo Xuan's gaze slowly slid in the direction of the blood flow, and finally stopped at his feet.

It took a few seconds for him to come back from his stupor, realizing that he had stepped into the scene of the murder at some point.

"It's ......"

The food residue in his stomach was churning with stomach acid, and the sour and bitter taste came to his throat, and Zhuo Xuan almost tried his best to control himself from acting less unusual.

However, what scares Zhuo Xuan even more is that!

The rest! The rest of the people, except themselves, did not show the slightest discomfort or pity for such a scene!

Calling the police has obviously become the most useless solution.

Even, such an atmosphere gave Zhuo Xuan a complete feeling - as long as he said the word "alarm", he would immediately become the target of public criticism!

"It was a broken neck, poor fellow," the bus driver shook his searchlight, and the light swept over the corpse.

As for the cause of death, it's obvious.

The mask on the corpse's face had shredded, revealing a frightened and frustrated face; The skull was twisted in a half-circle, and red blood oozed from the shattered cervical vertebrae, soaking the gray-black hazmat suit into a deeper black.

All this is like being imprinted on Zhuo Xuan's retina, giving him a lingering shadow and a great horror of his imminent death.

"Count the number and see who is missing." The bus driver's order continued, in a calm and indifferent tone.

Zhuo Xuan glanced at him more.

If you can still maintain your sanity and self-confidence in such a dangerous and strange situation, then what has this person experienced?

Soon, the crowd counted out that in addition to the one who had died, five others were missing.

"Five people is exactly the number of members of a group," Zhuo Xuan's heart moved, "Except for the six people in the group I am in with the bus driver, the other two groups should be five people acting together!" ”

In other words, they may have encountered something terrible, causing the group of five to be wiped out!

So, what about the other missing person?

Zhou Xue?

Zhuo Xuan's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, and he suddenly remembered the young man with warm eyes.

There was a faint tingling pain in my wrist, which was much better now than when I first put on the watch. Zhuo Xuan habitually touched the hard watch on his wrist, his eyes pretended to glance at random, but his heart suddenly sank!

Zhou Xue, Zhou Xue is gone!

He was captured by the "beast" that hid in the darkness?

No, it's absolutely impossible!

Zhuo Xuan forced himself to calm down, but fortunately, the attention of the people around him was focused on the corpse and did not find anything wrong with him.

"Why is there one less person in your group?" The bus driver looked away from the corpse, his voice slightly cold, and his gaze to the rest of the passengers huddled in the hallway.

Zhou Xue, what he said is Zhou Xue!

Zhuo Xuan immediately realized this, his breath was suffocated, and he didn't dare to make a move.

Perhaps the oppressive force brought by the bus driver was strong enough that one of them had to reply stubbornly: "We have been exploring and have not noticed his ...... all the time"

Now that I think about it, the fact that people have disappeared silently like this is undoubtedly more terrifying than the bloody scenes that directly stimulate the senses.

The bus driver was silent for a moment, without accusation, which also relieved the passengers in that small group.

He glanced around the corpse and asked, "Is his searchlight around?" ”

"With me."

Among the other nine passengers, a man's voice rang out. The man raised the searchlight in his hand and handed it to the bus driver.

"I won't hide it from you now," the bus driver's tone was still faint, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, "and all of you have a tiny video camera inside their searchlights—I installed them myself. ”

Zhuo Xuan stood beside the bus driver, clearly realizing that "he" was referring to himself.

Perhaps this is why Zhuo Xuan was assigned to the group of the bus driver.

"Everyone knows that the beast will only start killing if the 'dead end' condition is triggered." The bus driver slowly explained, "I have no choice but to do this, after all, we are always on the weak side in the face of the 'beast'. ”

Triggering a dead end? Limit?

Zhuo Xuan's heart was pounding, and he felt that he had a general impression of this cruel new world. The "Chosen One" who are driven by the mission will carry out the so-called "mission", face the unknown "beast", and pay the price of possible death.

But this is not despair, after finding a way out, you can still escape!

Silent.

An indescribable complex emotion permeated everyone's hearts, and their chests felt as if something had been forcibly stuffed.

No one questioned the purpose of the bus driver's move, as everyone was equally eager to know the truth.

Why didn't a single member of this group survive? Was the silent Zhou Xue really captured by the "beast"?

Gently twisting the tiny camera from the searchlight, a small black memory card was removed by the bus driver, who then inserted it into the small digital camera he carried with him.

The progress bar scrolled, the blurry picture kept shaking, and under the influence of strong light, everyone could barely see part of the picture.

The sound of conversation fades from the camera, and the members of the group arrive in a normal room and begin a cautious and careful search.

Zhuo Xuan also stared at the digital camera held up by the bus driver, and he was more desperate than anyone else to know what he was going to face.

Since the camera is not always aimed at the rest of the members, the picture shakes violently, and it feels like a secret visit to the record of death.

The heavy snort gradually cleared, and a frightened shout suddenly came from the camera, which made everyone present concentrate.

"You-"

The person who made the voice does not appear in the picture, and the clues expressed by this single word are extremely limited. Perhaps the sentence should be "Who are you" or "What do you do" when it comes to the whole sentence - is it the "beast" that appears and disguises itself as a companion, or is it just a casual friction between a few people? But these can only be used as conjectures and inferences, and nothing can be proven.

Although Zhuo Xuan already had a guess in his heart at this moment, he didn't dare to say it easily, for fear of attracting everyone's attention and leaking some important information.

"Zhou Xue said, tell me not to tell the rest of the people that I am a newcomer...... It's better to attract less attention, but I guess I'm wrong. ”

Zhuo Xuan said a word in his heart, and stared at the picture of the disordered light.

"Please rewind a little!"

A slightly panicked exclamation sounded beside Zhuo Xuan, and it was the voice of a middle-aged man. Standing at the front of the crowd, he took in the camera footage and was the first passenger to notice the anomaly.

Zhuo Xuan's heart thumped, and the bus driver reversed as he said, and the team members in the picture reverted back to the search stage from the panicked running state, and everyone refocused on it.

"Click-"

"This is it!"

The middle-aged man shouted violently.

His eyeballs bulged slightly, and he was sure that his tone of voice had allowed everyone to catch the unusual and strange sound.

"Is this, the sound of bones breaking?" Among the passengers, some have already offered insights.

Damn it! What kind of monsters are they!

Zhuo Xuan scolded bitterly in his heart, why are you so familiar with the sound of bone cracking!

"That's right," the bus driver nodded, reversing the screen again.

The sound was like a demarcation point, and until then, the dead group members were still unharmed, and after the voice appeared, someone shouted "you", and the videographer began to flee in a hurry.

However, he still died in the hallway in the end.

Unfortunately, at the time of the accident, his searchlight was not pointed at the scene.

From just one voice, everyone couldn't make any detailed interpretation.

"Alright, in that case, let's continue our search." After confirming that everyone had seen the digital camera, the bus driver put it away and said, "The other five missing people are probably also lucky...... But this does not prevent us from looking for a way to survive, after all, we all know that the way to survive depends on the brain, not the number of people. ”

However, he did not expect that the moment his words fell, there would be an uproar among all the passengers.

"Mr. Driver, is this your solution to the problem?"

A familiar voice sounded beside Zhuo Xuan.

He looked at the person who spoke in astonishment, the same woman who had mocked and tested him earlier. Zhuo Xuan's mouth opened slightly, and for a moment, he finally didn't say anything.
