4362 The Other Side 331

At a glance, he felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine. It was eerie.

Gong Fan stood in the hall in a daze, but he didn’t dare to speak. He gently took a step forward, and when his shoes struck the ground, the sound echoed in the space.

He didn’t dare take the elevator, but apart from that method, it seemed the only other choice was the stairs. He didn’t know why he was compelled to go upstairs, but his intuition led him on, it was as if something was attracting him. He didn’t know if this intuition was a good or bad thing.

Gong Fan deliberated, unable to decide if he should walk up. He lightened his footsteps and quietly walked to the stairwell entrance, but he was a little hesitant. He wondered what exactly was waiting for him.

Of course, the rational part of himself told him that this was not a horror movie, and there were no such things as ghosts and gods. He was relieved at the thought. Even if there was a ghost, he wasn’t afraid. What more could he be afraid of?

Gong Fan mustered his courage and went upstairs. Apart from the flickering lights and shadows, there was nothing particularly scary along the way. He did not know where he should head, so he decided to go up the stairs to find out how tall this building was.

He didn’t know how long he’d been climbing, but there was no sign at all to indicate which floor he was on. He couldn’t remember how many floors he’d climbed before he saw a closed door at the end of a flight of stairs. He hesitated for a moment before climbing up and pushing on the door tentatively. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked and it swung ajar.

He deliberated for a long time before carefully pushing the door open a little more. First, he looked through the crack. Outside was a spacious rooftop. From where he was, he could make out a drying rack with white coats and sheets on it.

The hospital had many such platforms used for daily chores. Some of the doctors and nurses who lived in the dormitory would dry their laundry here. However, apart from that, there was no sign of anyone.

Gong Fan pushed open the door and walked out. The wind on the rooftop was very strong. Coupled with the fact that it was night time, it was rather chilly. He first walked around the edge of the rooftop. Standing there, he could see the general layout of the hospital more clearly.

There were three blocks arranged in the shape of the letter ‘C’. In the middle was a large courtyard.

And the building he was in was the one on the far edge facing south. Directly opposite was another building.

He silently counted the floors opposite because he didn’t know how many floors his building had. As he counted, he suddenly saw a strange shadow appear in his peripheral vision.

In the building opposite, only the middle floors were lit. And in the middle of that, probably the fourth floor, the lights were on. A shadow, emerging from the far left, strode down the hallway.

Gong Fan was stunned for a moment.

He wasn’t afraid, but he was surprised that there was someone in the hospital. Furthermore, from the silhouette, he could tell that this was a tall and strong man. Even though he was far away and couldn’t see him clearly, his shadow was very long under the light. Gong Fan thought that he should be more than six feet tall.

Just as Gong Fan was secretly observing this man, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Under the moonlight, for some reason, a sense of fear rose within Gong Fan.
