Chapter 27: Guardian Angel

I dont quite understand, the suited man said gently. Is there anything unusual going to happen after dark? The woman turned around and regarded him with a strange gaze. The man didnt avoid her gaze. He smiled at her until she moved her eyes away. Then, she turned and left. She didnt say anything.

The middle-aged man with the tank top wanted to rush after her to ask for more details, but the woman turned around the corner and disappeared like a ghost.

Where did she go? The middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice. He couldnt understand this world at all.

If you want to know, you can keep on chasing after her. The young man in the cap said through the chewing of his gum. He shrugged at the man. Perhaps shell bring you with her.

The middle-aged man could sense everyones dissatisfaction with him, so he stopped talking and stayed with the group.

The deeper they went into the hostel, the clearer the strange feeling. The creepiness surrounded them. It was like there were pairs of red eyes staring at them from the dark. The damp air assaulted them. The smell of mildew was mixed with an unknown substance.

Since the corridor was littered with trash, they had to move things around. The hostel building looked unpresentable. There were black moulds and yellow stains on the walls everywhere. Strange material scabbed on the ground. The place looked deserted.

Doctor. Fatty frowned as he moved over. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng took a big step forward to move away from Fatty.

The girl with the pyjama stayed in the middle of the group. Her eyes were red as she rubbed her shoulders and whispered, This place feels wrong, like something bad has happened here.

The young man touched his cap and scoffed, Isnt that a given? Why else would this place be abandoned otherwise?

What could have happened here? The middle-aged man shivered.

Just like that, the suited man was pushed to the front of the team. He couldnt reject them even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he had to comfort these people in his gentle tone.

Eventually, they reached the fourth floor. The suited man finally got rid of the people suffocating, using the excuse that he needed to get the key. His face was red because those people sucked the oxygen out of him and because of Jiang Cheng. At that moment, Jiang Cheng looked at him with the deepest admiration.

Okay. The suited man began, Since everyone trusts me, Ill divide up the rooms.

The woman in the qipao and the girl in the pyjama stayed in Room 407. The two newbies, the young man and the middle-aged man with the tank top and a woman with dark skin, stayed in Room 406. The suited man and the young man with the cap stayed in Room 405.

The suited mans smile brightened when he saw Jiang Cheng. Brother, I sense that you already knew this large brother beside you before this. In that case, you two can stay in Room 404.

4 was a taboo number.

Undeniably, this was the suited mans revenge.

Fatty was about to reject it when Jiang Cheng tapped his shoulders and said in an easy tone, Okay. Well follow the guardian angels arrangement.

The suited man could hear the sarcasm, but he had to act like he didnt care. Even Fatty felt sorry for him.

It was clear that not everyone was satisfied with the room arrangement, but the day was darkening. No matter what, they had no choice but to return to their rooms. After all, being inside a room was safer than staying out.

Fatty received the key and opened the door. Even though he was mentally prepared, when he walked into the room, he was still stunned.
