Excessive ferocity due to caution

The security personnel who came from outside and were about to enter the archives room immediately spotted the four vengeful ghosts and Zong Haisheng, who was holding the files in his hand!

They expressionlessly pulled out guns and fired at Zong Haisheng, but the black cat easily blocked all the bullets!

"Meow!"

The black cat let out a fierce hiss.

That meow wasn't like the melodious and sweet cry of a normal cat; it was a voice with a strong sense of disconnect!

The cat's meow carried an eerie power. The clothes of several security personnel at the front were torn open, revealing gruesome wounds on their chests. However, when the skin and flesh were torn open, they were exposed to an eerie black color, with black mist surging inside, but no blood flowed out.

The security personnel showed no change in expression, discarded their pistols, and charged towards Zong Haisheng and his group. Their movements were stiff but extremely fast!

When the security guard was a few meters away from Zong Haisheng and the others, the flesh on his hands suddenly exploded, and his flesh, bones and bones mutated and turned into sharp knives!

boom!

He leaped up at the group like a cannonball, his face expressionless!

His stiff body traced a perfect half-parabola in the air... and then his head slammed hard against the ceiling above him.

Unlike the walls, the ceiling above was extremely hard due to the strange flesh and blood clinging to it. The security guard, who had become a monster, clearly had a much harder brain. In just an instant, to the astonishment and utter bewilderment of Zong Haisheng and the others, he smashed his own skull to pieces...

Splat!

The security guard's body fell in an extremely bizarre and twisted position in front of Zong Haisheng and the others, his limbs still twitching.

An eerie silence suddenly filled the scene.

The two groups stared at each other for several seconds before Zong Haisheng and his companions suddenly turned and fled towards the stairs!

The other security personnel followed closely behind and quickly gave chase!

The height here limited their ability to maneuver, and they couldn't catch up in the short term. Worried that the group would escape, they even forgot to check if there might be anyone else in the archives...

...

Inside the archives room.

Liao Hongqiao watched as Zhao Yi took out the fourth set of files, sweat already beading on his forehead.

Two more are needed.

"One minute..."

"Mr. Zong... please hold on for this minute!"

Liao Hongqiao clenched her small fists tightly, as if she could still feel the warmth of Zong Haisheng's hand in her palm.

At the same time, she was also carefully observing the doorway, afraid that something might come in... After all, their powers had been completely stripped away, and if they really encountered those security personnel head-on, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long!

Before she knew it, her entire back was soaked with sweat while she was waiting!

Liao Hongqiao was taken aback when he glanced at Zhao Yi in front of the machine.

"You don't seem afraid at all."

Zhao Yi methodically typed in the next name.

His fingers were incredibly steady.

"There are only two kinds of fear for all spirits."

One reason is the fear of punishment.

One reason is the fear of the unknown.

"Children who haven't done their homework feel fear when teachers collect it; people who have been away from home for years feel fear when they return; captured soldiers feel fear when facing torture..."

"This is the punishment."

"Death, on the other hand, is categorized as the unknown."

"But unfortunately, neither punishment nor the unknown... makes it difficult for me to feel fear."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he also typed out the last name.

The file was transported from the wriggling intestines to the eyes, and finally vomited in front of Zhao Yi, covered in transparent, disgusting mucus.

Liao Hongqiao picked up the files from the ground and returned the way he came with Zhao Yi.

The time was exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

At that moment, the four ghosts outside, who were struggling to hold on, suddenly heard Zong Haisheng shout from behind them:

"Time's up, let's get out of here!"

Two and a half minutes have passed. If Zhao Yi and his group have gone smoothly, they should already be on their way back.

Several ghosts that were entangled with the security personnel worked together to repel the two closest ones and fled towards the entrance of the 2188 Building with Zong Haisheng in tow!

"Hurry up!"

"We don't have much time!"

"If that guy on the thirteenth floor fully wakes up... we'll never leave here!"

The black-haired mouse's tone grew increasingly anxious. In such a tense situation, it suddenly remembered a line of words it had seen in its predecessor's notes many years ago.

After obtaining the file, the dormant entity on the thirteenth floor will begin to awaken. You must leave Building 2188 as soon as possible, otherwise, once it fully awakens, the rules of the building will undergo some strange changes, and this place will become a terrifying slaughterhouse...

The group followed the fastest route they remembered to the main gate and met up with Zhao Yi and his companion in a small, secluded spot.

"Did you get the items?"

The black cat glanced at the file in Liao Hongqiao's hand.

Liao Hongqiao opened the file and quickly showed it to the three ghosts. After confirming that everything was correct, Liao Hongqiao closed the file. She took Zong Haisheng's file in her hand and gave the others to Zhao Yi.

"Alright, let's get going!"

The black cat spoke excitedly, its black fur bristling, and its limbs trembling with excitement!

Although they are no longer human, being imprisoned in the building as ghosts is a form of torture, isn't it?

A heartless man who can only stay in the scrap collection building every day, surrounded by garbage, and has to be careful to wake up at any time.

just now……

I can finally be free.

As the group was about to leave, they hadn't gone far when the white-clad female ghost suddenly said in a deep voice:

"quick!"

"We're about to be surrounded!"

Her perception was much stronger than that of the cat and mouse. At this moment, her face was extremely ugly. She took the lead and rushed in one direction!

Chi!

A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the night and lunged at Zhao Yi!

The opponent was too fast. Even the black cat next to Zhao Yi was startled. It leaped up almost instantly and stretched out its claw, which was filled with strong ghostly power, and slapped the black shadow hard, sending it flying!

puff!

The sharp claws sliced ​​through the opponent's flesh.

But no blood flowed out.

The dark figure landed, and by the faint starlight and moonlight, everyone saw that the dark thing was actually a dog with a human head and a beast's body!

It slowly turned around and stared at the group.

Only then did everyone realize that the dog's head... was actually Meng Cunhua's!

The rotting, swollen human head was dripping with blood and tears. It opened its mouth and smiled at the crowd, its mouth splitting open and pus flowing out. It looked extremely disgusting!

"Zhao Yi... I told you... I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"You ruined everything I had!!"

Zhao laughed at it:

"It's fine...you like being a dog anyway."

"You look better this way."

Meng Cunhua's smile gradually turned into anger, and he bared his teeth at Zhao Yi.

At this moment, the ghost infant slowly crawled out from behind Zhao Yi, its cold eyes filled with boundless killing intent!

It babbled something and handed Jiang Youyou's body to the white-skirted female ghost.

"That little rascal wants us to go first; he wants to deal with this disgusting thing himself!"

Zhao Yi glanced at the ghost infant; its eyes held no fear, only boundless flames of rage.

"Walk!"

Without lingering any longer, the group quickly disappeared into the night...

Meng Cunhua tried to chase after him, but was stopped by the ghost baby!

"Get out of here! You ugly thing!"

"You and your mother are disgusting, despicable scum!"

Upon hearing Meng Cunhua's words, the ghost infant was so enraged that its eyes widened in fury. It screamed and pounced on Meng Cunhua, engaging him in a fierce battle!

Click!

The ghost baby opened its mouth wide and bit down hard on one of Meng Cunhua's dog legs. The newly grown sharp teeth were even sharper than before, penetrating deep into Meng Cunhua's bone layer in one bite, making a crunching sound!

But Meng Cunhua was no pushover either; he plunged his other claw deep into the ghost baby's abdomen!

puff!

Blood gushed from the baby's belly, and Meng Cunhua grinned menacingly.

"You little bastard...you think you can take me?"

"You shouldn't have been born!"

"Today I'll send you to meet your wretched mother!"

It frantically thrashed its claws, trying to find the ghost baby's heart, the source of the ghost baby's resentment. Once it found the ghost baby's heart, it could easily get rid of the ghost baby!

But at that moment, Meng Cunhua saw the ghost infant that was biting its leg raise its head, its eyes faintly casting a scarlet blood light.

Gollum—

An eerie sound came from the baby's abdomen.

Meng Cunhua looked down and his smile froze.

A blood-red hand, carrying fragments of internal organs, suddenly emerged from the ghost infant's belly and plunged viciously into its abdominal cavity!

"vomit--"

Meng Cunhua vomited out black liquid.

"No……"

"How could this be...?"

It stared wide-eyed down at the ghost baby's bloody hand.

Inside, the claw that had pierced the ghost infant's body was broken into pieces!

Only then did Meng Cunhua realize why he hadn't found the ghost baby's heart earlier...

It turns out that the ghost baby's heart... was this bloody hand!

It contained almost all the resentment of the ghost infant, possessing terrifying destructive power. When it pierced into Meng Cunhua's body, Meng Cunhua immediately felt a threat of death!

"don't want……"

Meng Cunhua opened his mouth wide, trying to break free from the ghost baby's control, but now his heart was being held by the ghost baby. If he retreated, the resentment gathered in his heart would be ripped out by the ghost baby!

Then it's doomed!

Looking at the ghost infant in front of him, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent and coldness, Meng Cunhua gave in. If it died this time... then it would truly be all gone!

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

"My son, I am your father!"

"If you forgive your father this time, he will definitely love you well from now on!"

Its voice trembled, its heart held in the hand of the ghost infant, and it dared not move.

Upon hearing Meng Cunhua's words, the ghost baby's ugly little face showed some hesitation.

Seeing that appealing to emotions had worked, Meng Cunhua was secretly pleased and quickly continued:

"What your mother did was wrong... but nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistakes."

"Daddy already knows he was wrong, please forgive him this time, okay?"

The ghost baby's eyes softened, and the hand that was gripping Meng Cunhua's heart loosened slightly.

Meng Cunhua's smile grew wider and wider.

Almost there...

Just a little bit more...

It already knows the ghost baby's weakness; as soon as the ghost baby lets go completely, it will instantly turn the tables and kill it!

Meng Cunhua was about to say something more when he heard the ghost baby make a babbling sound.

Meng Cunhua, who is also a ghost, can clearly understand the language of the ghost baby.

Do you think I'm being soft-hearted?

"I was just kidding..."

"I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my mother!"

Meng Cunhua's expression froze completely. Before the fear in his eyes could even ferment, the ghost infant crushed his heart in despair!

"No... Heh heh..."

His heart shattered, and his resentment scattered.

After letting out a few strange and unwilling sounds, he collapsed completely to the ground, his body turning into a puddle of pus.

The ghost infant withdrew its bloody hand and collapsed to the ground.

Using the heart as a weapon is a powerful move, but it consumes too much of its power. In addition, its heart was injured by the pendant on Meng Cunhua not long ago and has not fully recovered. At this moment, the ghost infant is already exhausted.

It stumbled and crawled toward the main entrance of the 2188 Building, but at the end of the narrow path, it saw Zhao Yi and the others surrounded by a group of security personnel, and the scene was very dangerous!

The ghost baby ran anxiously in that direction, but suddenly remembered something, abruptly stopped, turned and scrambled in another direction, disappearing into the night in an instant...
