Chapter 55 Saving a Life
Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a hand from nowhere grabbed her wrist and pulled it upwards.
“Bang!!”
The last bullet from the handgun hit the ceiling.
The sharp gunshot also jolted Officer Li Suqin back to reality from her controlled state.
She collapsed powerlessly on the ground.
Gasping for breath.
But she didn’t see who it was that had pulled her up.
In the empty corridor, there was only herself and the unconscious Officer Li Rongjun.
The blood-red iron door had also vanished without a trace by this time.
Seeing this, Li Suqin quickly stepped forward to check on Li Rongjun’s condition.
“He’s okay… he’s okay… he’s still breathing.”
Although Li Rongjun was unconscious, in this situation, even an unconscious person could provide Li Suqin with a sense of relief.
For safety reasons, Li Suqin chose a room and prepared to drag Li Rongjun into it.
Unconscious people should be extremely heavy. Coupled with Li Rongjun’s weight of 140 jin, Li Suqin shouldn’t have been able to move him at all.
However, for some reason, Li Suqin now felt that this unconscious man was exceptionally light… as if someone was helping her move him?
It’s just that Li Suqin, flustered and anxious at the moment, didn’t think too much about it.
After dragging Li Rongjun into the room.
She took out her mobile phone and frantically started tapping on it.
“No service…”
At this moment, Li Suqin’s phone still displayed “No Service.” Not only could she not make a call, but she couldn’t even make an emergency call.
“What should I do?”
No matter how much Li Suqin was an atheist, the current situation had exceeded her imagination. She stood there, at a loss, waiting for Li Rongjun to wake up so they could discuss the next steps.
The problem was… could she really wait for Li Rongjun to wake up?
Li Suqin could only pray silently.
At the same time, what Li Suqin didn’t know was that there was a third person in the room.
To be precise, it was a ghost.
And this ghost was Qin Liu.
Since Liu Haoyu said he was going to save someone, Qin Liu naturally had to help.
As a result, while looking for them, she became careless, and the man got separated from her.
Even though the house wasn’t large and they had been acting together the whole time, he had disappeared.
Just as Qin Liu was getting a little anxious and scared.
She suddenly saw two people in police uniforms appear before her eyes.
One male and one female.
The man seemed to be grabbed by something terrifying and was uncontrollably smashing into the wall.
The woman, on the other hand, looked like she had lost her soul and was pointing the muzzle of her gun at her own head.
Although it looked like suicide, Qin Liu, being a ghost, knew very well that she was clearly being controlled by a fierce ghost.
Adhering to the principle of saving one life being better than building a seven-story pagoda, Qin Liu rushed over and pulled the female police officer’s hand upwards, thus saving her life.
The male police officer who was trying to smash into the wall also fell to the ground, falling unconscious.
Because she didn’t know what had happened to them, and Qin Liu felt that the atmosphere in the corridor had changed when she first arrived…
How should I put it…
It felt like birds and beasts scattering?
But she didn’t find any ghosts?
Confused, Qin Liu decided to observe for a while.
This was also to wait for Liu Haoyu.
In such an extremely dangerous place, running around blindly was definitely not a rational choice.
It was better to follow these two police officers. Although they were definitely not as powerful as Liu Haoyu in dealing with ghosts and monsters, she knew the benefit of having more people for courage.
Although she wasn’t human, meeting two living people in such a ghostly place meant they could at least look out for each other.
“Mmm…”
As Qin Liu was thinking, the male police officer lying on the ground finally woke up.
He clutched his almost exploding head and slowly got up.
“You’re finally awake!”
The female police officer excitedly hugged the middle-aged policeman, showing that in this environment, a leader was really important.
She, who had originally looked ashen, became much more spirited.
“I… am I still alive? Ah!”
Li Rongjun tried to shake off the pain in his brain. After letting out a scream, he finally woke up completely.
“…Li Suqin?”
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s me!”
As Li Suqin excitedly hugged him, the latter’s eyes suddenly widened. He protectively shielded Li Suqin behind him with a terrified expression and looked in Qin Liu’s direction, saying.
“Get behind me! Li Suqin?”
At this moment, in Li Rongjun’s vision, he saw a terrifying and chilling red shadow standing at the door of the room.
This red shadow could only vaguely be seen as humanoid; its appearance could not be seen clearly at all.
Just looking at this strange red shadow made Li Rongjun’s limbs go cold, and his heart stopped beating.
Endless fear and coldness engulfed Li Rongjun’s heart.
This was not the coldness of entering winter, but rather the chilling gloom felt in a morgue.
It was as if this red shadow could turn into a ferocious ghost at any moment and tear him to shreds.
No… it was a ghost.
Unlike Li Rongjun, when Li Suqin noticed the red shadow in the room, the female police officer, who was already under immense pressure, finally couldn’t hold on and fainted dead away from fright.
Seeing this, Li Rongjun could only shield her behind him and face this red shadow alone.
What to do?
There was only one door in this room. If they wanted to get out, they would have to run past this red shadow, but doing so would undoubtedly lead to a miserable death.
Li Rongjun racked his brain, trying to find a sliver of hope for survival. Just then, an unfamiliar voice sounded from within the room.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you.”
This voice was very gentle and pleasant, like that of a young girl in her prime.
It was this peaceful voice that gradually eased Li Rongjun’s tense nerves.
After a period of confrontation, Li Rongjun finally lowered his guard a little and asked.
“Are you human or ghost?”
“I’m a ghost.”
Qin Liu admitted her identity truthfully.
“But I’m a good ghost.”
“…”
For some reason, Li Rongjun felt like complaining about what a “good ghost” was.
But in this situation, it seemed he could only hope that this red shadow in front of him would help him and Li Suqin escape from hell.
“Follow me.”
With that, Qin Liu opened the room door.
Looking at the dark corridor outside, for Li Rongjun, it was as if what was opened was not the room door.
It was more like opening the door to hell.
But he had no other choice now and could only follow this unknown red shadow.
“When I was unconscious…” Li Rongjun looked at the red shadow in front of him and asked tentatively, “What happened?”
“I don’t know,” the red shadow said, a little puzzled. “When I arrived here, I just saw you trying to smash into the wall.”
“The wall? What about that red iron door?”
