Chapter 36: Aww~ There’s a Ghost on the Roof!
“Alright, now we will distribute the alarm devices. If you really can’t stand it inside, press this device, and your group will automatically forfeit. Staff will then go in to bring you out.” As Yang Rui spoke, she began to distribute the alarm devices to everyone.
“This time, there will be professional fixed night-vision cameras filming inside, so your follow-cam cameramen will not be going in with you. Only the ten of you guests will be going in. Now that I’ve explained all the matters clearly, everyone can enter the hospital. I wish you all a happy time,” Yang Rui said with a smile.
Su Jian Yue held onto Shen Xun’s wrist with both hands, her gaze fixed on the gloomy and terrifying hospital. “Older Sister, will it be very scary inside?”
Seeing the little puppy scared before even going in, Shen Xun smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m here. The ghosts inside are all staff in disguise. If you get scared later, just close your eyes, and I’ll lead you.”
“I’m not scared. I’m an alpha. I’ll protect you,” Su Jian Yue’s voice was trembling as she spoke, yet the little puppy still put on a brave face.
Shen Xun almost burst out laughing. She played along and said, “Okay, then when we go in later, I’ll be counting on you to protect me.”
“Of course. Don’t worry, Older Sister,” Su Jian Yue replied, a bit guiltily.
The live stream’s bullet comments were in a frenzy of laughter.
[Hahaha, who understands? Little Moon is so cowardly and so cute.]
[The production team is so mean. Our baby was just scared by a ghost movie yesterday, and today they’re dragging her to a haunted house.]
[LOL, Little Moon’s voice is trembling. She’s really scared.]
[Our baby is so scared, yet she still wants to protect her older sister. The XunYue CP is real!]
[But Shen Xun doesn’t seem very scared. I hope she can protect Little Moon well. There’s only one such cub in the whole world. Please don’t scare her.]
Su Jian Yue had no idea how the netizens were commenting on her. She still thought she was a fierce alpha.
Su Jian Yue even walked in front of Shen Xun, as if she were leading the way. But when she reached the hospital entrance, her legs wouldn’t obey her.
Yu Lin and Zheng Tianming had already gone in by now. Liang Wenjing and Jiang Ying followed closely behind.
Liang Wenjing looked at Su Jian Yue and the other and asked with a smile, “Why aren’t you two coming in?”
“I… we’re not in a hurry,” Su Jian Yue said, sweat already beading on her forehead.
Seeing the little puppy so nervous, Shen Xun comforted her softly, “Relax. I’ll hold your hand. Don’t be scared.”
“Mmm.” Su Jian Yue finally gave in obediently. She was really scared. Sob, sob, sob.
And so, Su Jian Yue was led into the hospital by Shen Xun.
The moment she entered, Su Jian Yue felt the gloominess of the hallway. Even the temperature here was much lower than outside, as if a natural air conditioner had been installed. Su Jian Yue couldn’t help but shiver.
Shen Xun comforted her softly, “It’s okay, it’s okay. There’s nothing in this hallway. Don’t be scared, don’t be scared.”
Su Jian Yue sniffled and followed obediently behind Shen Xun. “Older Sister, it’s so cold in here.”
“It’s probably because it’s dark in here, so it’s a bit cooler,” Shen Xun said casually, hoping to distract the little puppy.
Behind Su Jian Yue and the others were Zhao Qifei and Mao Ning. Everyone had come in one after another.
Because this hallway was connected to the main entrance, and the light from outside could shine in to some extent, it wasn’t actually that scary. It wasn’t until they turned from this hallway that the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere truly revealed itself.
Only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the hallway. The incandescent lights above flickered on and off, and Su Jian Yue’s hands grew colder and colder. She felt as if something was lurking in the darkness, ready to jump out and scare her at any moment.
Suddenly, the flickering incandescent lights above went out. On the walls of the hallway, a few old electric lamps with a red glow lit up, illuminating the hallway like a scene from hell.
“Older Sister~” Su Jian Yue was startled. Wait, what kind of crappy haunted house is this? This is too scary, isn’t it?
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just the lights,” Shen Xun comforted her softly.
The other guests were also quite scared. No one dared to speak. And this was only the second hallway they had walked through after entering the hospital.
Su Jian Yue held onto Shen Xun’s left arm with both hands, her gaze darting around. When she looked up at the top of the hallway, she saw a clump of black hair sliding down from the ceiling, bit by bit, in the eerie red light.
Before Su Jian Yue could even see clearly what it was, she let out a scream and, grabbing Shen Xun’s wrist, rushed inside. “Aww~ There’s a ghost on the roof! Run!!!”
Shen Xun didn’t even have time to react before she was dragged by the runaway little puppy all the way into the hospital lobby. Shen Xun’s mind was a complete blank.
It wasn’t just Shen Xun. Liang Wenjing was also startled by Su Jian Yue. She didn’t even dare to look up and just pulled Jiang Ying forward. “Ahhhhhh! A ghost! Don’t come and get me! Run!”
Yu Lin hadn’t seen anything at first, but seeing everyone run in fear, she also ran inside with Zheng Tianming.
Su Jian Yue pulled Shen Xun into the first-floor lobby of the hospital before she finally stopped for a moment. The hairs on Su Jian Yue’s body were all standing on end.
Seeing her little puppy so scared, Shen Xun quickly went over and hugged her. She gently patted her back to comfort her. “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. It’s all fake. What’s there to be afraid of? Let’s not be nervous. Relax, relax, okay?”
“Okay, okay. I’m not scared. I’m an alpha. I have to be brave and protect Older Sister!” Su Jian Yue comforted herself with a trembling voice, but after less than two seconds, she deflated.
Su Jian Yue wrapped her arms tightly around Shen Xun’s waist and pitifully rubbed her face against Shen Xun’s shoulder. “But, but I’m still scared.”
The bullet comments in the live stream were also increasing at this time.
[LOL, it wasn’t that scary at first. Everyone was so scared by Su Jian Yue’s scream.]
[Our baby is so cute. A little alpha who’s afraid of ghosts is something I want to hold in my arms and pet.]
[To the person in front, Little Moon belongs to Shen Xun.]
[But to be fair, the production team is also quite wicked. It’s really scary in here. If I went, I’d run away immediately.]
[Look, Little Moon is so scared she’s hugging her sister and trembling. So cute. Shen Xun is so alpha.]
[Yeah, it feels like Shen Xun is not flustered at all.]
Shen Xun, who was being discussed by the netizens, was not only not flustered, but was even amused by the little puppy. “Alright, let’s just find ten heartbeat cards and then leave. It will be quick, okay?”
“It’s so scary in here,” Su Jian Yue said, sniffling.
Seeing that the little puppy was really scared, Shen Xun said, “Then why don’t we just give up? It’s just not going on a date tomorrow. It’s no big deal. Let’s go out now, okay?”
Su Jian Yue shook her head. She knew her sister’s personality. She had to be first in everything. Although this was just a game, her older sister definitely still wanted to win very much. She couldn’t hold her back.
“No, I’m not going out.”
“Then what should we do?” Shen Xun gently patted the top of Su Jian Yue’s head. She felt that it was just a game. Although she wanted to win a little, she didn’t want her little puppy to be scared. Of course, she had to take care of the little puppy first.
“Older Sister, if I’m scared tonight, can I come find you?” Su Jian Yue asked pitifully.
Shen Xun gave a faint smile. “Okay, I’ll always be here.”
“Mmm, then, then let’s just stay and find the cards,” Su Jian Yue replied, trembling.
At the consultation desk, a female ghost nurse was leaning to one side. She was originally going to come over and scare them, but before she could act, Shen Xun and Su Jian Yue were already hugging and talking intimately. The female ghost nurse was immediately stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.
She was instantly furious. Wait, are you acting like I don’t exist? I have to scare this annoying couple properly!
With that thought, the female ghost had already started walking towards them.
From this angle, Shen Xun could see the female ghost perfectly. The female ghost was leaning to one side, her body and face covered in bloodstains. In the dark red light, she looked even more eerie.
Afraid that the female ghost would scare Su Jian Yue, Shen Xun reached out and patted her. “We have to go. Listen to me. From now on, just leave everything to me. You close your eyes, and I’ll tell you what to do.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Older Sister,” Su Jian Yue said very obediently.
“You hold onto my left arm and follow me. Don’t open your eyes,” Shen Xun instructed.
“Mhmm, I’ll be good,” Su Jian Yue said, sniffling, and obediently held onto Shen Xun’s left arm with both hands.
Shen Xun quickly led Su Jian Yue towards the consultation desk. At this time, the lobby was already in chaos. Zhao Qifei was being chased by a man dressed as a doctor. Yu Lin and Zheng Tianming had already rushed up to the second floor. Screams could be heard from time to time in the lobby.
Shen Xun quickly scanned the lobby. The best place to hide things here was the consultation desk.
Su Jian Yue was very scared, but she trusted her older sister enough to know that she would protect her, so she kept her eyes closed the whole time.
At this time, Shen Xun had led Su Jian Yue behind the triage desk. Shen Xun quickly rummaged through the things on the desk with her hands. In a stack of forms, she found a holographic card with the words “Heartbeat Card” written on it.
Shen Xun took the card. Just as she was putting it into the small bag on her body, she looked up and met a pair of red eyes. The nurse’s face was still dripping with blood. She spoke in a hoarse voice, the sound from her throat like rust. “What are you looking for?”
Shen Xun glanced at the female ghost’s face, knowing that the stuff on her face was all prop blood. But Su Jian Yue, who was beside her, immediately bristled. “Ahhhhhh! Older Sister, who’s talking?”
Shen Xun gave the female nurse an apologetic smile and reached out to pat Su Jian Yue’s back to comfort her. “No one, no one. I just met a pretty older sister. Don’t open your eyes. We’re leaving now.”
“Sob, sob, sob, Older Sister, I’m scared,” Su Jian Yue said, acting cute as she hugged Shen Xun’s arm.
“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. We’re leaving now.” With that, Shen Xun led Su Jian Yue towards the stairs on the side.
And that female ghost nurse did not chase them. She was very pleased with Shen Xun’s comment about her being a pretty older sister, so she didn’t chase after the two of them.
Shen Xun coaxed Su Jian Yue as she led her upstairs. “Lift your feet. Be careful. Follow me up one step at a time. We’re not in a hurry.”
“Older Sister, where are we going now?” Su Jian Yue’s eyes were tightly closed, and her palms were sweating.
“Everyone is probably looking for cards on the first floor, so it’s harder to find them. Let’s go directly to the second floor to look. By the way, I already found a card at the triage desk just now. It’s not too difficult. You can just close your eyes and follow me,” Shen Xun comforted her, and also gave the little puppy a reassurance.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Su Jian Yue said with her eyes closed, finally feeling a little relieved. As long as she kept her eyes closed, she wouldn’t see any scary ghosts.
The hallway was still lit by flickering dark red lights. Shen Xun’s gaze moved downwards and saw a crack at the bottom of the wall on one side. A person’s arm was reaching out from inside, trying to grab her and Su Jian Yue’s ankles.
Shen Xun calmly moved their position so that the arms couldn’t reach them. She didn’t tell Su Jian Yue about this, afraid of scaring the little puppy.
Just as they passed this area, at the turn of the stairs, a corpse fell down upside down, still dripping with blood.
Shen Xun was not flustered. She instructed, “Now we need to bend down and walk past here.”
“Older Sister, what’s here?” Su Jian Yue’s voice was trembling.
“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. It’s just a normal obstacle. Don’t open your eyes. Yes, just like this. Bend down and walk past.” With that, Shen Xun led Su Jian Yue past this area, bending down. “Alright, we’re past it. You can straighten up now.”
“Mhmm,” Su Jian Yue replied obediently.
At this moment, the bullet comments in Su Jian Yue’s live stream were also constantly scrolling by.
[Whoa, Shen Xun is really brave. She didn’t react at all.]
[Our baby is so well-behaved. She does whatever her older sister tells her to do.]
[Little Moon is so cute. She hasn’t opened her eyes the whole way. As long as I can’t see it, there are no ghosts in this world.]
[But Su Jian Yue trusts Shen Xun so much. She really just obediently kept her eyes closed the whole way.]
[Of course. They’ve known each other for over ten years. They must both trust each other very much.]
[Sob, sob, sob, I also want an older sister like Shen Xun. So cool!]
On Shen Xun’s side, she had already successfully led Su Jian Yue up to the second floor. The lobby on the second floor was pitch black. Shen Xun’s gaze turned to the hallway on the left. The hallway on the left was hung with a few flickering green lights. The walls were covered in mottled bloodstains, and a sign above was crookedly hung with the word “Orthopedics.”
