Chapter 17: The First Floor
Blood dripped down the wound and fell to the ground, and Sheko gasped and hid in a room.
He was stabbed by Becky, who suddenly turned into a ghost, but fortunately, his reaction was relatively fast, and he took out the dispel prop in time.
Taking advantage of the moment when the ghost temporarily disappeared, he escaped by luck and hid in a room on the first floor.
It's just that the knife in the abdomen is still very deep, and the serious injury makes it impossible for him to escape too far. Xie Ke judged that he had already been stabbed in the spleen, and without Lin Qiu's help, he wouldn't be able to last long. Thinking of this, he immediately hid in one of the consultation rooms, took out his mobile phone, and sent a distress message to the others upstairs.
After Lin Qiu received the news, he told him not to move, and he and others would soon come over to support.
After seeing the other party's reply to the message, Xie Ke breathed a sigh of relief and put down the bloodstained phone in his hand.
He couldn't figure out when the captain had become a ghost.
Could it be that the other party has been killed by God unknowingly when he was distracted?
Or is the real captain long dead, and the "Betsy" who has been following them before is actually a fake ghost?
Xie Ke had a headache, the amount of bleeding from the wound made it more and more difficult for him to concentrate, and when his mind was dizzy and in a trance, he suddenly noticed that this room had a very familiar feeling. An image flashed through Xie Ke's mind, and he clutched his head in pain, trying to recall it.
At the same time, he didn't notice that the wardrobe behind him slowly opened......
"Something is wrong on the first floor!" Bai Qi and Liu Ke rushed downstairs, plus Lin Qiu, and the three of them went downstairs together to prepare to support Xie Ke.
When the group arrived at the room where Xie Ke was hiding, they were surprised to find his body.
Sheko was dead, lying on the ground, covered in wounds and holding a bloodied scalpel in his hand.
Seeing this, the three of them immediately understood that they could no longer stay on the first floor. I'm afraid the ghosts are still lurking around at the moment!
"Let's go." After Liu Ke confirmed the other party's death, he immediately straightened up and reminded the other two: "There is danger here!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qi noticed that Xie Ke, who was already dead on the ground, suddenly moved strangely, he twitched his body and raised his head suddenly, and a pair of eyes also turned gray and white.
"Ahh Lin Qiu let out a scream and watched the scalpel stab into Liu Ke's heart.
Liu Ke looked at the bloody wound on his chest in disbelief and turned around stiffly. The next second, the knife was pulled from his heart and stabbed him in the back again.
Blood splattered, Liu Ke fell to the ground weakly, and what appeared in front of the two of them was Xie Ke, who was bathed in blood and like a walking corpse.
"Let's go!" Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately dragged the other party and ran desperately. Thinking of the strange appearance of Sun Sheng, Guo Wangcheng and others before, Bai Qi's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
It is the ghosts that manipulate the will and body of those who are infected!
Bai Qi suddenly had an epiphany: this infection is not only physical, but also mental. Ghosts manipulate the Dream Breakers into killing by invading their bodies!
If this is the case, the reason why Sun Sheng and the others went crazy before can be explained.
He told Lin Qiu about his discovery while running, and after hearing Bai Qi's speculation, Lin Qiu also suddenly realized.
You have to tell everyone about it right away!
Thinking of this, the two of them even quickened their pace.
Lu Qing called Bai Qi, but no one responded there. Worried, he decided to leave the room and go downstairs to check on the situation himself.
At this moment, Wu Ruomeng, Jing Lie, Ye Jizong and Zhang Jingrui also gathered in the same room under his instructions, if there is a new situation, the large number of people can also ensure the safety of each other.
Since he couldn't wait for news from his companion, Lu Qing decided to go to the first floor to see the situation in person.
However, as soon as he reached the staircase, he saw Lin Qiu, covered in blood, lying on the steps.
"Don't ...... Go down ......" Lin Qiu opened his mouth with difficulty.
Lu Qing didn't care about anything else, and immediately stepped forward and carried the other party back to the second floor.
At this moment, Lin Qiu was covered in scars, her snow-white coat had been stained with blood, and there were fatal injuries on her chest and abdomen.
Despite this, she still grabbed the corner of Lu Qing's clothes, and angrily told him what happened before and Bai Qi's discovery.
"Where's Bai Qi?" Lu Qing's eyes moved, and he asked anxiously.
He ...... Killed......" Lin Qiu coughed up a mouthful of blood and grabbed his hand tremblingly: "You guys...... Be careful......" After saying this, she opened her eyes slightly and swallowed her last breath.
Lu Qing closed Lin Qiu's eyes and half-knelt in the corridor without saying a word.
All the Dream Breakers who went to the first floor had all died, and the current survivors had plummeted to five.
"Let's go to the third floor, the woman's prediction was right." Ye Jizong said sadly: "If everyone hadn't gone to the first floor to check the situation just now, so many people wouldn't have died!" ”
"That's right." At this point, Jing Lie also completely believed that the woman did have the ability to predict the future: "There are more than two hours left, let's guard the woman in a group, and control the abnormal person as soon as there is a disturbance." ”
Since Bai Qi speculated that the ghost used infection as a medium to manipulate the Dream Breaker, and the ghost's attack was very limited, the possessed Dream Breaker could only cause physical attacks to others, and the remaining few people were all infected, so it was better for everyone to get together and supervise each other, which was the only feasible way at present.
"Let's go, captain......" Jing Lie pushed Lu Qing, who was squatting on the ground in a daze, from the beginning of the mission to the present, especially after the search was completed, he found that the captain's words were much less than before, and when everyone expressed their opinions, Lu Qing rarely said his inferences.
In previous missions, Lu Qing could always detect something wrong one step ahead, but in this mission, he found that the captain was much more cautious than before. Jing Lie always felt that the other party had some scruples in his heart. It was precisely for this reason that he did not say anything for a long time.
"You go up first, I have to go downstairs."
Sure enough, Lu Qing got up and walked downstairs. Jing Lie really couldn't figure out what was going on in his captain's mind. Obviously, Lin Qiu had warned them not to go to the first floor before he died, why did the other party do the opposite?
Jing Lie and Wu Ruomeng also wanted to act with him, but they were rejected by Lu Qing: "It's okay, I'll do it myself." If there are too many people, there will be danger. ”
The two quickly understood what he meant, and indeed, it would be more dangerous if the ghost took the opportunity to invade the body of one of them and attack his teammates. In contrast, it seems safer to move alone.
Lin Qiu's narrative before his death was very confusing, and Lu Qing was very concerned about one thing, that is, where Betsy had gone. Why did Bai Qi and the others only see Xie Ke downstairs, but they didn't find her?
Also, the death of Yin Xiong and others in the first district also made him very concerned, these three people were not infected with the virus, why were they killed?
There are so many mysteries waiting for him to solve about the first floor. As for the woman on the third floor who could accurately predict death, Lu Qing also had other opinions about her ability. It's just that he needs to verify it himself.
