Chapter 23: Searching for the Key

"Click." When the door was pushed open, both Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan desperately felt the free air outside. And at this moment, the sky was pitch black. And in front of them was a narrow road, while across the street was an incomparably dilapidated grocery store. "It's finally out!" Sun Jiamin recalled the call from someone from that vegetarian group just now, when she heard something about the key being under the phone ringing on the other end of the line. She froze then, then picked up the phone and realized that the key was actually really underneath! How could she not have imagined that she had actually escaped from the hospital? Slamming the door hard behind her, she then saw that there was a piece of paper taped above the door. "This is?" Sun Jiamin took a closer look, it was the second level challenge. The goal of the challenge was …… "Find the apartment's occupant and collect a key to the occupant?" Looking at the content on the paper made Sun Jiamin a bit puzzled. "What does tenant mean?" Not only Sun Jiamin, Mu Aishan was also feeling puzzled. "Apartment?" What apartment? The apartments on this island? "Forget it, let's go first." After memorizing the contents on the paper, the two women quickly began to move away from the hospital. At this moment, the duo walked all the way. "Earlier, I also received a call from someone from the vegetarian group, and inside the call, I heard a woman crying. Then when he heard someone crying, it was like he was startled, and then he left without even hanging up the phone." After hearing Mu Aishan say this, Sun Jiamin was even more puzzled. There were still people from the vegetarian group inside the hospital now? Then where were they? However, there really wasn't much point in saying this now. "I'm getting more and more confused, what's going on here?" The current Sun Jiamin was completely head over heels, was this a reality show? Or was it really haunted? If it's the former, she guaranteed to hire a lawyer to sue East Star TV, if it's the latter …… she really doesn't know how to react. On this narrow road, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aisan were almost acting with their bodies close together. "Speaking of which, where did …… Xiao Zhi, Tang Tingtian, and Lu Yunxiu all go?" Sun Jiamin was just as perplexed by Mu Aishan's question, all three of them had inexplicably disappeared. Especially since Lu Yunxiu was still Sun Jiamin's secret lover, she was also a million times more worried about Lu Yunxiu. Although it was said that showbiz romances split up and often merge due to profit, and Lu Yunxiu wasn't Sun Jiamin's first man, she was still quite worried about his well-being. "I also don't know …… where exactly they are, will they still be inside the hospital ……" "There is definitely a supernatural presence inside this hospital ……" On this point, Mu Aisan has been convinced: "I saw it with my own eyes, obviously dead people, but they are walking!" "But …… maybe it's special effects makeup?" "No, there can't be such realistic makeup, if our country had such strong special effects makeup, would it still be mocked by so many netizens as a 50-cent special effect? If what I saw was made up, it was definitely two hundred dollars of special effects!" Walking along, the two women arrived at the end of the road. Eight words were written on a wall in front of them. "Burn them! This is a curse!" Looking at these eight big red words gave the two of them goosebumps again. "I say ……," Sun Jiamin glanced at Mu Aishan beside her and said, "What the hell are we going to do now?" What to do? Hearing Sun Jiamin say this, Mu Aishan also had a headache. "Do we continue to go and solve the mystery of this island, or ……" "Let's go and find out if there's anyone else on the island first, right?" "But I always feel that if we don't complete the challenge as stated on that piece of paper, something terrible might happen. It does say plainly, "Escape! Alien Spirits' ……" The two women fell silent. Right now, they really didn't know what a good choice to make was, after all, they weren't familiar with the terrain of the island, nor did they know how far away from the coast their current location was. "Forget it, let's take one step at a time. We don't know where it's good to head towards either." The end of the road would have to be towards the right side. And after walking towards the right side, they saw some rather dilapidated dwellings. Most of these dwellings were single houses with only one floor. The windows and walls were covered in dust. "Sure enough, it's an uninhabited island …… How long has there been no one here?" "Who knows ……" At this moment, the two women suddenly felt the temperature around them drop some more. In the pitch-black night, now only the flashlight in Sun Jiamin's hand could be illuminated. Sun Jiamin began to carefully recall the series of experiences she had from waking up in the hospital until now, there were really too many unimaginable places, and there were quite a few things that could really only be explained by supernatural phenomena. "Mu Aisan, in this world, there really are …… ghosts? This is not scientific!" As soon as Sun Jiamin thought of this idea, she felt a few creepy moments. "Why can't there be?" Instead, Mu Aishan asked, "May I ask which scientific law can absolutely deny the existence of ghosts?" "Well …… isn't it?" After pondering carefully, Mu Aishan said, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now. No matter what, let's ……" Right at this moment, Mu Aishan suddenly stopped! She saw a window next to her. Although the window was covered in dust, she still saw at a glance that there was a skeleton sitting on the sofa inside the window. Looking at that white skeleton skeleton, she couldn't help but make Mu Aishan tremble. "Sun, Sun Jiamin, you see?" Seeing that skeleton in the window, Sun Jiamin was also startled. "This, this, this is also a real …… skeleton?" If this was just a skeleton it would be just that, the skeleton that had suddenly disappeared in the hospital's first floor hall earlier was still fresh in her mind. "My God …… I really hope that we are now the same as the domestic horror movie, and in the end, it will be proved that all this is our hallucination, and we are hypnotized, or all this is man-made, and there is someone behind the scene pretending to be a ghost… …" Mu Aishan, who had previously appeared in the horror movie Earthbound Spirit, was even more trembling at this time, as she grabbed Sun Jiamin's hand and said, "I …… I …… Let's go first, first!" "Crunch–" Just at this time, the door not far from the side of this window, suddenly and quietly opened automatically! This time, frightened Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan were both scared out of their wits! This door, how did it suddenly open inexplicably? Looking at the open door, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan were really close to screaming out. There's no one here! How exactly did the door open? Or is it …… inside the door? At the thought of this, the two women were scared out of their wits at this moment. Then, they took one step away from that door, not daring to approach half a bit more. "Go …… go …… let's go!" They accelerated their steps, and then simply darted! As they ran wildly on the road, they also turned back from time to time to take a look at that door behind them. "Ah!" As if it was a trope of all Hollywood movies, Sun Jiamin tripped and fell on the ground as a result of running too fast and not looking at the road, but before Mu Aisan could come to her aid, she quickly climbed up! "Escape …… escape as far away as possible!" At this time, escape became the …… only thought in her mind! I don't know how long I ran, to the location of an intersection. Sun Jiamin also did not know if it was her own illusion, it seemed …… that the sky had become a little darker than just now? Moreover, the road also became narrower and narrower? "You see?" At this time, Mu Aishan saw a notice posted on a wall to the side. It read, "Notes on the recent infectious diseases on this island." "Why do I always feel that the statement on this ……" "Well, I feel that way too ……" "Well, let's not talk about this useless stuff. Let's think about …… what the hell we're going to do now."
