The usually cautious Xiao Li, surprisingly, spoke in a hurried, fragmented manner, halfway through her sentence.
Duan Chen glanced at his phone, a bad premonition surfacing in his mind.
He quickly tried to call back, but his phone displayed no signal, showing 'No Service'.
Not only was there no signal, but the entire magnetic field felt off. A bizarre energy instantly enveloped the whole space, making the entire Sheng Xin Hospital feel as if it had fallen into a giant black hole.
Oppressive, viscous, with the rotten stench of decaying sea matter.
Beep beep beep! The detector on his waist vibrated—
Airspace intrusion!
[Level: A]
[Mode: Exploration]
[Exit Condition: Sealed array eyes]
Damn it! The range is too exaggerated; the entire hospital is covered. This place has countless ordinary people, medical staff, patients, and their families...
Won't they all become food for the Void Wraiths!
"Damn it! What exactly did Xiao Li want to tell me?"
What should I be careful of? G? ... Ge? Ge? Ge???
It should have been a word starting with the letter 'g', but she only managed to utter the initial sound before the call was cut.
Duan Chen put away his unresponsive phone and ran back to Gu Sang.
The spatial anomaly was intensifying.
In just a short time, the clean walls had developed blackish-green mold, and the plaster was constantly flaking off. The high-end wooden floor began to rot, the ceiling tiles fell, revealing rusty steel bars, and in some places, it was even starting to collapse.
It was as if in an instant, this place had been submerged in seawater for decades.
Pale heads of ghastly faces protruded eerily from the walls, and killing intent instantly permeated the air.
Gu Sang punched one back into the wall.
"What's going on?" Gu Sang carefully tucked the note into his inner pocket, treating it like a most precious sacred relic.
"Alien invasion, airspace barrier, and this range is unprecedented!"
Duan Chen's expression was grim. His injuries had not yet healed, and his spiritual power was greatly diminished. For safety, it was best to stay with Gu Sang.
It seemed Wu Suowei was right; the dogs of the evil gods had arrived.
If last time the invasion of the school was through the [mirror] in the restroom, then this time, what was the origin of Sheng Xin Hospital?
Damn it, I thought the Mirror City sea monster only had one passage. From the looks of it, I was careless. It's not just Teacher Liu who can open barriers.
This means there is more than one priest.
They possess the ability to constantly open [doors], and their purpose should be to break the seal of the evil gods.
This way, I might even see Ye Yan here again.
I can finish what I didn't make clear last time.
Duan Chen stepped on the head of a Void Wraith that was poking out, stomping it back into the ground.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Screams erupted from the end of the corridor.
People sensed the abnormality and showed fearful expressions. Some screamed, some called for help, some ran around in chaos...
Medical supplies lay shattered on the floor amidst glass shards, and various liquids spilled everywhere. Those fleeing, covering their heads, ran blindly, only to find the windows sealed by a strange force, and the outside world turned into a blood-red landscape.
The young nurses tried their best to maintain order, even though they were trembling with fear.
Sheng Xin Hospital was in utter chaos; only Duan Chen and Gu Sang seemed composed.
The two quickly ran towards the treatment room.
"Right, you still haven't told me, what's the good news?"
Gu Sang punched flying Void Wraiths, and although the physical damage was slight, it at least cleared obstacles.
"I told Xiao Fang that I was helping a guy named Gu Sang ask her out."
"!! You! Why the hell did you use my name directly!"
Gu Sang was shocked and grabbed a white-clothed Wraith by the neck, twisting its body into a pretzel in frustration.
"No... even after hearing my name, she's willing to meet me?"
Gu Sang's heart pounded. Could it be that...
"Yes, she said she's always admired you, but was afraid to approach, for fear that you would dislike her."
Duan Chen smiled faintly. "You, it's a mutual pursuit."
Gu Sang was instantly filled with strength. He felt as if he saw a paradise filled with blooming flowers, with the pure angel Xiao Fang standing in the soft light, arms outstretched, smiling sweetly at him.
"Damn it, I hope this isn't a dream." Gu Sang burst into laughter, his eyes shining.
Nothing is more exhilarating than the person you love also loving you back.
"I want to hug her, kiss her, marry her, and have 10 children together!!"
Gu Sang shoved open the treatment room door. Xiao Fang was standing amidst the white-clothed Wraiths, flustered.
Turning back abruptly, their eyes finally met.
Suddenly!
A tongue covered in sharp teeth shot out from the back door, piercing Xiao Fang's shoulder in an instant.
The splashing blood stained Gu Sang's face and eyes.
His heart clenched, and an ice-cold dread submerged him.
"No!!!"
Gu Sang roared, his eyes red. He exerted force under his feet, charging forward like a cannonball.
Xiao Fang, covered in blood, weakly extended her hand towards Gu Sang.
"Gu... Sang..."
Their fingertips were only an inch apart from touching, but this inch was like a chasm between heaven and earth, insurmountable.
Xiao Fang was pulled towards the passage by a strange force and disappeared around the corner.
Gu Sang's mind went blank. He charged forward like a madman; because he used too much force, he even overshot the passage and crashed into the wall.
Tear! Trample!
Everything in his path!
Be it walls or air, get out of my way!
Gu Sang's eyes widened, hot blood rushed to the crown of his head, and everything around him seemed to become sticky, forming an invisible barrier.
Gu Sang transformed into a hammer breaking through the void, ferociously charging forward.
"Give my woman back!!"
Bang!
Bang!
The intervening doors of the hospital were violently knocked down one after another. Gu Sang finally saw it.
A giant frog-like beast was dragging Xiao Fang deeper inside. It was nearly 3 meters tall and couldn't even stand up straight in the corridor.
Xiao Fang's face was deathly pale, her left shoulder mangled, her pure nurse's uniform stained with blood.
Her eyes held only despair and a peculiar flicker of hope. This hope suddenly bloomed like fireworks upon seeing Gu Sang, who was pursuing her.
Her beloved hero had come to save her!
"Ah!!!!"
Gu Sang roared madly. He pushed off the ground, cracking the earth into a depression, and then managed to leap several meters, diving straight towards the beast.
The beast didn't even need to look back. Its huge, 360-degree bulging eyes fixed on Gu Sang, and a mocking smile appeared on its lips. It exerted force with its legs, its thigh muscles instantly swelling, becoming thicker than Xiao Fang's waist, and then it leaped.
It easily dodged Gu Sang's ferocious punch and increased the distance again.
Gu Sang's hair bristled with rage as he chased it further and further away, completely disappearing.
"Hey!! Gu Sang!" Duan Chen shouted from behind.
Clearly, the one who abducted Xiao Fang was no ordinary beast, but Gu Sang had already vanished in pursuit.
Looking at the predatory ghastly faces in front of him, Duan Chen sighed.
He took out his cigarette case and shook one out.
He lit it.
Then he suddenly raised his gun and began firing, carving a bloody path.
"Indeed, in front of a woman, brothers are nothing."
He started running quickly, his wounds tugging painfully, his spiritual energy disturbed.
"Damn it, precisely at this moment..."
Wait a minute!!
Gu Sang, Gu, Gu...
Could it be that Xiao Li was warning me to be careful of Gu Sang?
