Chapter 6: Burning Them Down

Looking at the blood on the ground, Lian Zixin was also beginning to feel an intense fear inside. After all, it was his first time to execute the word of blood, he was inexperienced, and he was alone, and with the dark surroundings of this place, even a haunted house for people to roam around would be scary enough, not to mention the fact that anyone knows that this place is really infested with evil spirits. Although Lian Zixin rationally knew that evil spirits killing residents was strictly limited by the apartment, rationality was rationality, and human fear was ultimately hard to be influenced by reason. He looked at the streaks of blood on the ground, and for a moment, wondered if he should move on? Now that he only had a key, why not try to see if he could open a certain door by first going to the back where the light was relatively abundant? In this way, it might be another way. Lian Zixin actually knew that this was giving himself a reason, but by acting rashly, he would probably die very quickly. He didn't have a cell phone on him right now, so he had to prioritize rendezvousing with an old resident like Dong Xie, the other party had much more ample experience than him, and if he rendezvoused with him, he would be able to do things in a much more focused manner. "Calm down …… calm down …… I must be calm ……" Lian Zixin forced himself to be calm, but the more he did so, the more his body trembled instead, and in the end, it was with great difficulty that he slowly retreated towards the back, with his back leaning against the medicine pickup window, while continually heading towards the long corridor where he had woken up earlier. It had to be said that the lights in this corridor were also too faint, and even some of the lights even went out for so long from time to time, it was really creepy. Moreover, after a long time, even Zixin's eyes are also beginning to be a little raw and painful. One step …… one step …… he took a step, he looked towards the left and right and the front from time to time, and after walking for a long time, he only rejoined the bench he woke up on. "Just how long have I been sleeping on top of this bench?" "Tick tock" …… "Tick tock" …… The sound of that cough syrup dripping down, which still comes from there from time to time, is really creepy in this silent and scary environment. "Can't be afraid …… can't be afraid ……" He stood in place and took three deep breaths. "So much suffering, I have survived, as long as I survive to the end, I will definitely be able to retrieve my son ……" These short six years, his life could be completely described as living in hell. Compared to these things, what were evil spirits and whatnot? Aside from this life, there was nothing left for him to lose. Looking at the bench in front of him, he remembered the dream he had just had. The son playing in front of the dune, he was abducted at that time …… and when he turned back, he could not see his face …… Although he himself had now greatly increased the reward amount of the search notice, there was still no response. But, this is also normal, this child now looks likely to become completely different from six years ago. The traffickers who abducted him would only be afraid that they wouldn't even remember what he looked like. If the child was sold into the ravine, whether or not the person who bought him would be able to see the missing person notice was not to be said, and even if they saw it, it was unlikely that they would be able to take the child to collect the reward. Perhaps, even if he meets his son on the street later, he won't recognize him …… "Go!" He clenched his fists and gripped the key with a death grip, then began to walk towards the front of the long corridor. Upon thinking of his son, every step he took began to become resounding. People say that being a mother is rigid, but being a father …… is not rigid? Around this promenade, an outpatient clinic appeared, with all kinds of departments. "Digestive surgery …… dermatology ……." Outside of most of these outpatient clinics, there was a bench used to wait for patients, and most of the outpatient clinics were small enough to be seen at a glance. Lian Zixin wanted to go in and take a look at the outpatient rooms, however, after he checked the records of many Blood Characters, he didn't dare to go in easily anymore. Normally, when entering a closed chamber during a Blood Character mission, one of the occupants had to take on the duty of guarding the door, so as to avoid the door closing abruptly, and once trapped in the chamber, the occupants would be left to their own devices. This was right up there with not taking the elevator as much as possible during the Bloodletter mission, and not approaching reflective objects such as mirrors, both of which were important potential rules. Therefore, Lian Zixin could only stand in front of the doorway of the outpatient room and open his eyes to take a closer look. While most of the dermatology outpatient rooms would be cut off by screens to see clearly, in some of the other outpatient rooms, it was even more of a mess, with tables and chairs even tipping over on the floor, so it was obvious that the islanders were really extremely flustered when they withdrew from Blackwater Island in the first place. Soon, he walked to the end of this long corridor. And here, only the last clinic room remained. Lian Zixin slowly walked up and looked towards this consultation room. And then, he saw this scene. "Burn them!" These four red characters appeared on the walls of the clinic room just like this. By the looks of it, it seemed to have been sprayed on with spray paint. Burn them …… "Them"? This bright red spray paint formed the font, causing Lian Zixin to subconsciously back away from the outpatient room. Who were they? Burn them off? "Burn who away?" For a moment, he generated many speculations. The long corridor had come to an end. All the doors he had seen along the way, all of them were open, and the key he had in his hand was not half as useful as it should have been. Although he was only standing at the door, he had looked everywhere in the outpatient room except for the room with the next screen, and had not found a new key. "Where the hell are Dong Evil and the others? Didn't they all say that the vegetarian group acted as a group during the course of the reality show?" Honestly speaking, this time, the process of Bloodletter's progress was even more counterintuitive than Lian Zixin had expected. Indeed, when the contract was signed, it was clearly written that the start time of the reality show would be determined entirely at the program group's discretion, and that it would not be communicated in advance to everyone participating in the reality show, whether they were celebrities or vegetarians alike. However, where is it so sudden to wake up from a nap and directly appear in such a hospital? Which normal program team would do that? And, where are the cameras? Did they install pinhole cameras around here? At this moment, Lian Zixin couldn't help but pick up the piece of paper that stated the rules of this reality show challenge, and couldn't help but have an idea. Was this piece of paper really arranged by the program group? Or was it …… At the same time, Lian Zixin took another look at the red font on the wall in front of him. "Burn them", but yet, he didn't even have a lighter on him ah! "Is this considered a …… life path clue hint?" But then, it occurred to him that both Mo Yuan and Dong Qi had repeatedly emphasized one thing to himself. For evil spirits, any physical means would be useless. Not long ago, when Nie Han ran back to the apartment and the evil spirit blocked the apartment entrance, Qin Ziyuan had risked heaven and earth to take a gun to shoot the evil spirit, but it only made it bleed, and couldn't do anything to kill it at all. At that time, Lian Zixin himself was standing at the apartment door, and although he couldn't see the evil spirit that was blocking Nie Han at the door, the scene still gave him the creeps. Bullets didn't work either, How could the evil spirit be burned to death with flames? "And where exactly is Dong Evil? A powerful senior resident like him shouldn't die that easily, right?" Previously, it was clear that he was still with Dong Xie on the cruise ship that was about to arrive at Blackwater Island, but now, he was nowhere to be found! "The other residents, are they still inside the hospital? Or are they undergoing a completely different challenge elsewhere?" Looking at the other end of the long corridor, he knew that he was afraid that he would only be able to choose to head towards that dark area without lights. There was no way, without doing so, he would not be able to find the other two keys, and without escaping this hospital, he would not be able to survive at all. Now, he could only hope that, in the process of searching for the keys, he could rendezvous with Dong Xie and the others, right? Gripping the key in his hand tightly, he could only take a step and continue walking towards the front. And this time, after speeding up his pace and walking for a long time, he realized that he was no longer as fearful as he had been before, and began to have a few moments of courage. Walking back to the bench where he had awakened, he suddenly stopped in his tracks! Lian Zixin then slowly turned his head around to take a look. Just now, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to have seen something? Immediately afterward, he fixed his eyes on that bench, and his expression immediately became appalled! Only to see that bench …… there was an extra bright red bloody handprint!
