Chapter 38: Even Ghosts Have to Detour When They See Her
“Older Sister, where are we? Why does it feel so gloomy?” Su Jian Yue’s voice trembled as she spoke, and she shivered unconsciously. She still kept her eyes obediently closed.
“Nowhere special. It’s just an ordinary equipment room. Remember not to open your eyes. Just follow me closely,” Shen Xun said, and led Su Jian Yue in.
The morgue was divided into an inner and an outer room. The outer room was a small office with a desk and a chair. On the desk were several registration books. Other than that, the room was exceptionally quiet, and no strange ghosts suddenly jumped out.
Shen Xun knew that this was a deliberate design by the staff. In a morgue, the quieter it was, the scarier it was. After the people who entered got used to the quietness, a sudden burst of ghosts would have a more terrifying effect.
Shen Xun chuckled and shook her head. She very easily led Su Jian Yue to search the desk. She flipped through the morgue’s registration books, but this time, there were no cards inside. But Shen Xun was not discouraged. She prepared to go to the morgue in the back with Su Jian Yue to search thoroughly.
Compared to Shen Xun’s easy search for cards, the guests in the other groups were being scared and chased all over the building by the staff disguised as ghosts. The main point was that once they started running, they had no time to look for any cards. Their souls were almost scared out of their bodies. How could they still be bothered to look for cards?
Among them, only Ren Peng and Chen Zhibin had found two cards. Yu Lin and Zheng Tianming had given up early on. Zhao Qifei and Mao Ning had also only found one card before giving up. Now, these two groups were outside, eating fruit while watching the live broadcast of the other three groups.
The production team had specially brought over a large, movable TV screen so that the guests who had come out could see the situation of the guests inside, so that it wouldn’t be too boring.
Mao Ning’s mouth was wide open in shock as he watched Shen Xun’s actions on the screen. “Whoa, isn’t Shen Xun’s courage a bit too much? Su Jian Yue has her eyes closed the whole time, which means she’s no help to her. And she still dares to take Su Jian Yue into the morgue?”
Yu Lin smiled. “You’ll get used to it. Shen Xun even dared to catch the chainsaw doctor’s chainsaw with her bare hands. She even searched all over the ghost’s body and found a card from under him.”
“Isn’t that a bit too awesome?” Mao Ning exclaimed.
Although Zhao Qifei was also scared, he could actually overcome it. But because he was teamed up with Mao Ning, he lost interest. After all, he didn’t want to go on a date with Mao Ning, so he just completed the mission perfunctorily. When Mao Ning was too scared to go on, he simply pressed the alarm and had the staff lead the two of them out.
At this moment, Shen Xun had already searched the small office outside the morgue inside and out. After confirming that there were no cards here, she then led Su Jian Yue to the room in the back.
Shen Xun opened the sliding door. The inside of the morgue was still quiet.
Directly opposite the main entrance were rows and rows of compartments for storing corpses. This room seemed to have the air conditioning on. After Shen Xun entered, she could clearly feel that the temperature inside was much lower than outside.
Su Jian Yue couldn’t help but shiver. “Older Sister, where is this? Why is it so cold in here?”
“It’s okay. It’s the hospital’s storage room for medicine. It’s normal for the temperature to be a bit lower than outside. Be good and don’t open your eyes,” Shen Xun comforted her casually.
“Oh, oh.” Hearing Shen Xun say this, Su Jian Yue finally felt relieved.
Shen Xun scanned the room. Besides the compartments for storing corpses, there was no other place to store things.
Just as she was about to search the compartments one by one, several of them suddenly popped open on their own.
Shen Xun was so amused she laughed. People with heart problems really couldn’t come to this place. With such realistic props, it really felt like being in a real morgue.
If a timid person came in and was suddenly scared like this, they might really faint.
But Shen Xun was not afraid. She was just afraid that the little puppy would open her eyes and be scared.
Shen Xun led Su Jian Yue towards the drawer-like corpse cabinets in the front. Just then, one of the protruding corpse cabinets had a card placed inside.
Shen Xun pulled on the corpse cabinet and took out a heartbeat card from inside. She very calmly put the card away, and then she walked to the far left of the corpse cabinets, preparing to check them one by one from left to right for cards.
The netizens in the live stream who saw this scene were directly shocked.
[Whoa, isn’t that a bit too fierce? Our Sister Shen is a socialite.]
[Shen Xun’s courage is really so great. If it were me, I would have turned and run. I would never come to this kind of ghostly place again.]
[When those few corpse cabinets popped open just now, my legs were so scared they went soft. This horror hospital is too scary.]
[Who says it isn’t? Shen Xun actually dared to pull on the corpse cabinet with her hands. How many guts does she have?]
[It’s a good thing Little Moon has her eyes closed. Otherwise, I’m afraid the child would have fainted directly.]
Shen Xun, however, was unaware of the netizens’ discussion. She had already pulled open seven or eight corpse cabinets to check, but besides the one just now that had a card, these few were all empty.
But she was not discouraged. In such a large morgue, it was impossible for there to be only one card. She patiently continued to pull on the corpse cabinets to search.
Just as Shen Xun was about to pull on the next morgue cabinet, her right hand on the handle clearly felt resistance.
Shen Xun guessed that the one she was pulling now probably had something else inside.
She only paused for a moment before continuing to pull open the corpse cabinet. Sure enough, the moment she pulled open a crack, she met a pair of sinister eyes. It didn’t look like the eyes of a dummy.
Shen Xun found it strange and continued to pull the corpse cabinet outwards.
The female ghost lying inside also seemed to be surprised for a moment. After all, generally speaking, no one who saw a person lying in a morgue cabinet could be so calm. Most people would be terrified like a headless fly, screaming and running around in a panic.
But the woman in front of her was so calm. Not only did she make eye contact with her, but she also continued to pull the cabinet outwards. Wait, isn’t this person’s courage a bit too much?
Shen Xun didn’t know what the female ghost inside was thinking. She just pulled the corpse cabinet open halfway. The female ghost inside was very professional and sat up directly, her eyes staring at Shen Xun with resentment.
Shen Xun glanced at her calmly. “I’m looking for something. Don’t get excited.”
With that, Shen Xun, as if nothing had happened, started to search inside. Sure enough, in the corpse cabinet under the woman, Shen Xun found another card.
She quickly put the ninth card into her small bag. Seeing that the female ghost was still looking at her, Shen Xun said very thoughtfully, “You can continue to lie down. I’ll help you push the cabinet back in.”
The female ghost subconsciously lay down obediently. After Shen Xun had pushed her back in, she finally realized that something was wrong. Wait, isn’t this person’s courage a bit too much? She even dared to order her, a ghost, around?
A sea of “666” floated by in the live stream.
[LOL, the ghost was even stunned by Shen Xun.]
[Shen Xun is quite polite. After taking the things, she even pushed her back in.]
[Our Sister Xun is a socialite. She’s ruthless and wild. The female ghost has probably never seen anyone as bold as her, right?]
[Female Ghost: Are you being polite?]
At this moment, Shen Xun had already led Su Jian Yue to continue opening other blind boxes. Su Jian Yue asked very curiously, “Older Sister, is there someone else in here?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. They’re all staff. Don’t be scared. We’ve already gotten nine cards. We’ll be out soon,” Shen Xun continued to comfort Su Jian Yue.
Su Jian Yue just felt that it was very cold in here. She was shivering. But she trusted her older sister. If her older sister said it was okay, then it must be okay.
Just as Shen Xun was about to continue pulling on the corpse cabinets, several of them suddenly opened at the same time. In two of them, ghosts with blood all over their faces sat up on the spot.
Shen Xun just looked at them perform calmly. On the other hand, Su Jian Yue, with her eyes closed, was so scared she shivered. “Older Sister, what’s that sound?”
“It’s okay. The staff are pulling on the drawers. You can just keep your eyes closed,” Shen Xun comforted her softly.
Su Jian Yue was originally quite scared, but the moment she heard the word “staff,” she calmed down a lot. She felt that it wasn’t as scary as she had thought.
Shen Xun looked around and casually grabbed the handle of a popped-out corpse cabinet. This time, a male ghost was lying inside.
Shen Xun made eye contact with the male ghost. “Excuse me, please get up for a moment. I’m looking for something. I’ll push you back in later.”
Hearing Shen Xun’s words, the male ghost couldn’t hold it in anymore. The fierce expression on his face cracked. Seriously, are you being polite? You’re even ordering ghosts around?
Seeing that he hadn’t moved, Shen Xun said, “Have you been lying down for too long and can’t get up right away? Then I’ll push you from behind, and you can just sit up.”
With that, Shen Xun started to push him. Although the male ghost was unwilling, he was still pushed up by Shen Xun. Shen Xun fumbled around in the place where the male ghost had just been lying, and sure enough, she found a card.
Shen Xun smiled at the male ghost. “I found it. You can continue to lie down.”
With that, Shen Xun even very enthusiastically wanted to push the male ghost back in. After all, one should see things through to the end.
The male ghost quickly stopped her. “No, no need. Don’t push me back in.”
“Alright then. Then we’ll be leaving now,” Shen Xun said, and unhurriedly put the card into her small bag.
She said to Su Jian Yue beside her, “Alright, we’ve found all ten cards. We can go out and rest now.”
“That’s great!” Su Jian Yue had been wanting to leave for a long time. If it weren’t for her older sister, she would have run away long ago.
“Let’s go,” Shen Xun said, and happily led Su Jian Yue outside.
The male ghost in the hallway had originally been waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all in the morgue. He was even starting to find it strange. In the past, most of the people who went in would be scared out of their wits. Many would even press the distress signal directly. But the two women who had just gone in were completely quiet. This wasn’t reasonable, was it?
Just as he was racking his brains, Shen Xun led Su Jian Yue out from inside, trotting.
Shen Xun didn’t even give the male ghost a glance. As she led Su Jian Yue out, she even had a smile on her face.
The male ghost couldn’t help but shiver. Wait, she just came out of the morgue, and she can still smile? Where did this great god come from? Her heart is really big.
Not only were the staff disguised as ghosts inside shocked, but the guests who had already gone out were also shocked.
“Wait, is this even human? What kind of courage does Shen Xun have?” Zheng Tianming was stunned.
Yu Lin also chimed in, “Seriously. If I had entered the morgue, I would probably have been scared to tears on the spot.”
“I’m convinced that their group can get first place. Sister Shen, a woman fiercer than an eagle,” Mao Ning also exclaimed from the side.
“Seriously. Even ghosts have to detour when they see her,” Yu Lin agreed.
