Chapter 16: Escape from the Asylum 5

The iron gate was as rusty as the inside of the asylum, and the iron bolts that had been attached to it had left a shiny abrasion mark through which the staff used to transport things in and out.

I carefully tugged on the plug to prevent it from making too sharp noises to attract the attention of the people in the laundry room.

Soon, I pulled the bolt open, and the door creaked and I pulled it in.

The track stretched to the backyard ten meters away from the door, where drying racks were erected, the nearby street lamps were broken, and a muddy yellow light was faintly cast from the other side of the building, cut off by the darkness halfway, and from a distance it looked like the interface between hell and the world, which seemed particularly ethereal and distant.

At the other end of the courtyard was a two-man high fence covered with creepers, their dark green leaves gently swaying in the night breeze.

Just go through that wall and I'll be free!

Hope was in front of me, and I was so nervous that I didn't bother to close the iron door behind me, so I hid myself in the darkness and ran quickly under the high wall.

I followed the information provided by Yoko, facing south along the base of the wall, a small hand groping among the lush creepers.

After about ten steps, my fingertips touched no longer the damp wall, but an iron bar.

I was pleasantly surprised to peel open the creeper on top of it, and the iron gate was half-exposed.

There was a copper lock on the iron door, but I didn't panic, but according to Yoko's instructions, I cut out a wire in the crack of the wall brick next to the door, and I was not the only one who wanted to escape from here, someone had already prepared, but Yoko didn't tell me who it was, nor did I tell when it happened.

I didn't care to think too much about it when I wanted to run away and survive, so I took the wire and began to pick the copper lock.

It took me a full three minutes to pry it open, and on the other side, when the laundry room was finished, he came out with his pants and found that the iron door to the outside world had been opened.

When I took off the brass lock, the old king opened the iron door completely, and the light in the door spilled towards me.

"Who's there?" Lao Wang asked loudly while pulling out his baton from behind his waist.

I hid myself in the darkness as much as I could, opened it before the light shone over the iron door, got out, and ran into the woods behind the asylum in the dark-

A loud whistle sounded behind him, and Lao Wang's call followed suit: "Come on, someone is running away, come on......"

Not long after, there was a commotion at the hospital, and I even heard the barking of dogs, two of them, and they chased them out of the iron gate where I had fled, along with the security guards and a few staff members-

In the dark, I panicked.

I kept my eyes wide open and tried to discern the shadows of the trees in front of me, stumbling to the ground, running as hard as I could.

I ran so fast that my lungs began to hurt and my legs seemed to burn, and for a while I felt like I had thrown my pursuers away, but when I climbed up the slope, the barking of the dogs and the shouting of the people came closer, and they even rang in my ears, and my little face turned white and my little heart beat wildly.

I can't be caught, I want to catch that female ghost, I want to overturn the case, I want to clear my name...... This belief sustained me, and even when I tripped over the roots, I gritted my teeth and quickly got up in pain and continued to flee.

However, the reality was cruel, I couldn't fight the two vicious dogs after all, they caught up, and one of them pounced on me from behind, and pounced on me again-
