Chapter 18: Incoming Calls
After Dong Xie pulled out that note paper, he looked at the contents on it. "We've been trapped on this island, and these assholes have taken all the boats! We can't make contact with the outside of the island either! If anyone is reading this paper, I'm afraid we're already dead. …… That man cursed us! We're definitely going to die here! We're all going to die!" That man. When he saw the words "that person", Dong Qi's heart spat blood: "This person is not Voldemort or An Yuehong, can't you write out the name properly?" Lian Zixin asked in consternation, "I do know about Voldemort, but who is An Yue form?" "The villain of my novel Cinema of the Dead." Dong Xie carefully read the top of this note carefully, then muttered, "But from this, there's still some useful information." Everyone glanced at each other, and immediately afterward, Dong Xie grabbed the note paper and said, "The origin of this contagion originated from a certain person, so ……" He picked up the note paper and pointed at one of the lines, "From this sentence, we can tell that this person …… wasn't from Blackwater Island to begin with. There's also the fact that he's connected to the earliest outbreaks of infectious diseases." Lian Zixin and Han Lei nodded as well, but knowing all of this didn't help the situation at hand. They couldn't even escape the hospital right now, ah! "Let's go look for an exit first, even if the door is locked, is there a window." "This is the only way." Earlier, Han Lei had noticed that the windows up there, almost all of them, were sealed with wooden boards nailed with nails. So, was it the same here? Then, they started moving slowly along the hall. The three men kept a watchful eye on the surroundings almost momentarily. Luckily, it was relatively empty, and there weren't too many obstacles that could hide them, giving them a little peace of mind, even though they knew that a lot of the evil spirits that were trying to kill them would be completely invisible to them. Just as they were cautiously moving forward, suddenly, from the corner of a corridor off to the side, a person immediately stepped out! Lian Zixin looked at that person and immediately revealed a surprised expression. "Yun Nai!" After all, the two of them, Lian Zixin and Yun Nai, had known each other before they entered the apartment, and over the years, the two of them had been quite in the same boat, and seeing that she was fine also made Lian Zixin breathe a sigh of relief. After Yun Nai saw Dong Qi, Lian Zixin and Han Lei, she also quickly walked up, and behind her, Li Chong and Ji Yu came out. Now, the occupants of this execution of the Blood Character were considered to have arrived. The three of them quickly walked up, and the six of them converged together. "Eh? Why, where is Chang Yong?" Li Chong asked as he looked around. Dong Qi shook his head slightly, while the others immediately understood. There was already a dead occupant, which meant that the clues to a living path were already there? "Talk to me about your situation." Hearing Dong Xie say that, Yun Nai began to relate the experiences of the few of them. "I woke up in the place where the registration hall is, and then I realized that there was this piece of paper on my body, asking us to search for the key to leave." "Let's see ……" Dong Evil took the paper from Yun Nai's body, which stated the challenge rules of the reality show, and after reading it, he said, "Well, compared to us, you guys only need to look for a key. " Dong Xie was instantly a bit puzzled, they were both vegetarian groups, how could the differences be so great? He and Lian Zixin had to find three keys, Chang Yong and Han Lei had to find two, while these three only had to find one? Where's this difficulty balance rule? Could it be that the third key …… was so difficult to find that it required a sufficient number of vegetarians to join together to find it? Otherwise, there is no way to explain this. Moreover, the number of people on this level, too, was the largest. This point caused Dong Xie to feel more or less a strong sense of unease within his heart. The first key was the easiest to find, almost akin to a giveaway question on an exam. The second key was relatively much harder, and now to find the third key, it would only be even less easy. One must know that the time given was a full three hours! And from waking up to now, it was only close to an hour, right? Could it be that the remaining search for the last key was that difficult? "We can't get out." Li Chong said in frustration, "I've already gone over to the hospital's main entrance and looked around, the main entrance is completely locked, and all the windows that leave are nailed shut. We've looked everywhere we can, we just can't find the key." Dong Qi's heart sank. The three of them had been searching here for an hour and still couldn't find the key. "Keep looking, we must find it! Don't let go of all the places!" Dong Xie had a very uneasy premonition, they were afraid that they wouldn't find the third key easily. Although it was unknown where exactly it would be hidden. The first floor still appeared to be relatively empty, and at this moment, while following another corridor and coming to the registration hall, they saw a guide desk in front of them, and on that, there was clearly a telephone. Around them, there was a silence. A few of them gathered, moving slowly. On the ground, patches of blood could be seen from time to time, and it was entirely conceivable that something had happened in the hospital. "There's surprisingly so much blood here ……" Lian Zixin looked at the mottled blood stains that could be seen everywhere on the ground, and he began to be intensely nauseous at the moment. So much blood, just how many people had died here? Dong Xie, on the other hand, was already too familiar with this kind of image, so he didn't have any reaction anymore. Just as he was approaching the guide desk, suddenly! "Ding bell ……ding bell ……ding bell ……ding bell ……" The phone on the guide desk rang! The sound immediately caused Dong Qi to be stunned, while the other residents all looked at the telephone. The ringing of this telephone was extremely ear-piercing and kept echoing. Right at this moment, Yun Nai suddenly walked up, and then, grabbed the telephone receiver. "Hello?" On the other end of the telephone receiver, there was no sound. "Hello? Hello?" There was still no sound. Still, Yun Nai listened patiently. Dong Xie and Lian Zixin walked to Yun Nai's side, and Yun Nai whispered, "Still no sound." But just then …… she suddenly felt a strange sound. That sound …… It was as if something was rubbing up and down …… It was followed by the sound of liquid dripping onto the ground …… Yunai didn't know how to describe the sound for a moment. Then, the phone hung up. She looked at Dong Qi beside her and said, "The phone …… hung up." "What did you hear?" Dong Qi asked. "I heard some very strange sounds, and I don't know how to describe it ……." Just then, Dong Xie suddenly realized that above the telephone, there was caller ID, and quickly wrote down the number, while he found that there was also a button that could call back. Thus, Dong Xie hung up the handset. Then, he picked up the handset again. "Why don't …… try ……" He pressed the callback button. However, the call back …… phone rang again and again. Suddenly, the phone connected. "Hey ……," Dong Xie tried, uttering this one word. What could be on the other side? Was there even the ability to kill oneself through the phone line? Then, on the other side of the phone, a voice came. It was a woman's voice. "Hello?" "Hello, well …… perhaps it's a bit abrupt, but can you tell me who you are?" Dong Qi always felt that the voice was a bit …… familiar? "You're the one who called me, why are you asking me who I am?" "Well, there's some situation, I'm participating in "Escape! Alien Spirit! A member of the vegetarian group of this variety reality show." Dong Xie nervously inquired, "This phone number is the one I called back, just now there was a call here ……" "Was it? I'm not quite sure. You're in the vegetarian group? I'm in the star group." "Star group?" Dong Xie suddenly remembered that this was the voice of the female lead in Earthbound Spirit! "Are you …… Mu Aisan?" "Uh, that's right." Dong Xie then continued, "Then …… are you currently inside an abandoned hospital?" "That's right. You guys too?" "Can you tell me what your challenge is? Is it to find the key?" In fact, Dong Xie had been wondering if it was possible to encounter those stars from the star group. But it was a bit strange to have only encountered the residents along the way. Afterwards, he only heard Mu Aishan reply, "Well, I'm now? Right in front of the guide desk on the first floor of the hospital."
