“On top of that... the woman was wearing a pair of red high heels!”

At this point, Xu Wen and Zhang Yinyin shared a look. They were immediately reminded of the sounds of heels clacking the woman mentioned earlier.

Could it be...

The woman didn’t give them the time to think. She continued, “It was then that I started to suspect their real identities. Even though I just came here not too long ago, I had interacted with the people from the security department a few times. I had never seen these people before. Furthermore, the guards are not allowed to wear high heels during work hours.

“I purposely took things slow, telling them that I needed to look for some stuff. They waited for me outside the door. However, the leading man’s attitude worsened,” The woman stressed, “He started to scold me again. As afraid as I was, I insisted that I would not leave until I found the things I needed.”

“They remained outside the door and didn’t enter the office, right?” Xu Wen asked.

The woman asked as surprise coloured her face. “That’s right. I couldn’t figure it out. The door was open, but they refused to come in. They would rather wait outside.”

“And then, what happened?” Zhang Yinyin cut in, “How did you escape?”

“When I realised they wouldn’t barge into the office, I started to calm down. I used the excuse of using the department chair’s room. I actually went in to hide.” At this point, the woman paused to explain, “That office was huge. All the teachers from the same department worked there. There was a singular, isolated room, and it was the department chair’s room. I didn’t pay attention to them. My mind was made. I would enter the chair’s room and use her phone to call the other teachers for help.

“The chair’s room had a large mirror on the door. She fixed it there to examine her appearance. When I opened the door halfway, the mirror’s angle reflected the office entrance. I took a glance...”

The woman suddenly stopped. Xu Wen noticed the woman slowly widening her eyes as they filled with fear.

Zhou Taifu was almost crying from fear. “Why did you stop there? What... did you see?”

“There were... four people standing at the door.” The woman breathed heavily. She sounded like a broken air-conditioner.

Zhang Yinyin frowned instantly.

This differed from her expectations.

Xu Wen also stopped writing as she stared at the woman before her with confusion.

After some time...

“All of them are missing their chins,” The woman raised her head and elaborated with clarity.

“Don’t worry about it.” Jiang Cheng comforted him. “Think of the positive things. Even if it’s a ghost, it might be here to kill you. Perhaps it’s just here to break your limbs, pull out your teeth and turn you into a mascot.”

Fatty instantly ran to grab his coat. “Doctor, please... I’ll go with you.”

“Are you sure?” Jiang Cheng never wanted to force anyone.

“It’s fine.” Fatty shook his head. “Even if I don’t go with you, I don’t think I can stay here anymore.”

“Fine then.”

However, to Fatty’s surprise, they didn’t leave the building. In fact, they didn’t stray far from their room. They paused before Room 405. Using the dim light, Fatty saw Jiang Cheng take out a small white bottle from his pocket. It was a common medicine bottle.

Then, a long wait came.

Fatty’s mission was to be Jiang Cheng’s lookout. His eyesight was not bad. When he was at school, he could spy the answer from his friend two rows away during exams. His neck turned around with great agility. He was like a human radar.

An unknown burst of wind blew through the corridor. It moved the things in the corridor and some of the doors. It formed a strange cacophony.

Jiang Cheng instantly poured the contents of the bottle into his right hand.

With his sharp eyes, Fatty saw that it was a slightly sticky and dark liquid. Accompanying it was a familiar smell. It was sharp with a hint of sweetness.

It was blood!

His pupils trembled.

He watched Jiang Cheng smear the blood over his palm and then leave a light handprint on the door of Room 405.

A clear handprint was left on the door.

Fatty’s eyes widened.

Then, Jiang Cheng used more of the blood to continue his drawing. He extended each of the fingers to twice their normal length.
