Chapter 289 Tragedy over The Revolving Door 2
The security let loose a heartrending cry. His body split into two at the chest level. A jet of blood spurted over the transparent glass, oozing down to the ground.
He did not die at once. The upper half of his body still hammered on the glass, trying to release himself from the situation.
He was at the point of death….
Tears streamed down Zhuang Yuning's cheeks. She turned and ran into the building. As she ran past a lift, the lift door automatically opened. Zhuang Yuning did not sense the danger. Her mind was congested with thoughts of escape. She dived into the lift without hesitation. The door closed, and the light lit, dim. Her eyes met the operating panel; suddenly, she realized that the lift was going up to the highest floor, the eighteenth floor.
As the lift moved, Zhuang Yuning only realized that she was standing in a transparent cubicle, resembled a sightseeing lift. The building was a ring-shaped building similar to the Wanda Plaza except it was empty.
The lift moved slow. When passing the second floor, Zhuang Yuning was shocked to see the pale child standing on the pavement opposite to the lift; it was staring at her with its pair of sanguineous eyes. It raised its head when the lift went up, its face calm and expressionless.
Zhuang Yuning heaved a sigh of relief when the lift continued up. However, the child appeared at the pavement opposite the lift when the lift reached the third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor and so on.
Zhuang Yuning collapsed and broke down. She leaned against the lift and buried her face in her palms and cried. The numbers on the panel increased as the lift went up. When the number approached eighteenth, Zhuang Yuning stood up; her survival instincts forced her mind to start planning her next move once the lift door opened.
She did not have much time to plan. The lift had arrived at the eighteenth floor. To her great surprise, she did not see the child opposite to the lift.
The lift door opened after a short ring. She did not see the same design as the floors she went through. Instead, she saw a pitch-black corridor. Afraid of going out, she pressed on the 'one' button and relentlessly pressed on the 'close' button. Finally, she felt relieved when the doors closed. Bang! A pair of white hands squeezed through the closing doors and forcefully stopped them from closing. A head stuffed in and smiled spookily at Zhuang Yuning.
Zhuang Yuning exhaled at her right palm again and hit the child's forehead. The child fell backward and rolled on the ground and disappeared.
However, the doors could not close and the lights were still out. Zhuang Yuning had no choice but to run out of the lift and into the dark corridor. Sprinting along the dark corridor, she suddenly saw a faint beam of light at the stairs in front. She sped up, ran up the stairs, and realized she was standing at the top of the building. Seconds later, a white figure sprung out from the dark. The moment she reacted and tried hitting the figure with her right palm, it was too late….
The thunderstorm had stopped.
When Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma arrived at the security hut, Ye Shaoyang stopped abruptly. He looked down at the puddles and muttered, "Spirit Qi!"
He fished out a handful of cinnabars and threw the bundle into the puddles. Seconds later, a few bright red footprints appeared in the puddles; the size of the footprint indicated a five to a six-year-old child.
"A spirit's footprints! Luckily, the puddles could contain the Spirit Qi a little longer. Let's go!" As he spoke, he ran in the direction of footprints; Xiao Ma followed. When they came to a junction, Ye Shaoyang threw out another handful of cinnabars onto the ground. Again, another few footprints appeared, and they followed. After crossing two junctions, they arrived at the front of the building.
Before Ye Shaoyang threw out another handful of cinnabars he smelled blood. Tracking the smell, they arrived at the revolving door and saw the frightening scene: A man in security clothing was stuck in between the revolving door. His body was cut into two. The upper part was inside while the lower part was outside. Blood pooled onto the ground along with some crushed internal organs and intestines.
"Call the police. Oh no! Drop it. We should just call Xie Yuqing!" Ye Shaoyang instructed Xiao Ma as he advanced toward the revolving door. He made a hand seal and grasped something in the air. A blurry human figure appeared. It was a fifty years old or so male security, who was staring sadly at the dead body on the ground.
"How did you die?" Ye Shaoyang got straight to the point.
"A child, no, a child ghost killed me." The security heaved a sigh before he cupped his hands and continued, "Sorcerer, you must not let me die in vain."
"A child ghost?" Ye Shaoyang's heart jerked, "Is the ghost chasing after a woman?"
"Yup. She just went up. Sorcerer, you must save her."
Ye Shaoyang did not continue asking the security. He stuck a Soul Guiding Talisman Paper onto the security's forehead and said, "Your forehead is shining, which mean you have done good things in your current life. You will be rewarded in your next cycle of life. Now, the talisman paper will lead you to the path of transcending."
The soul of the security turned into smoke and attached to the talisman paper, flying away.
"I have briefed Sister Yuqing. She said she will bring her team over here in a short period. What should we do now?" Xiao Ma said as he lowered his cell phone.
"We need to go up now!" Ye Shaoyang rushed into the building and sprinted toward the stairs.
"Aren't we going to the top? We should take the lift." After Xiao Ma finished his words, he had a sudden thought, and he tapped his head, "Oh! The building is new. The lift might not be working yet."
Approaching the stairs, Ye Shaoyang suddenly came to a halt and held Xiao Ma back as he gestured for him to stay quiet as he put his ear forward to listen carefully. Tap! Tap! Footsteps sounded from above as if someone was slowly walking up the stairs with bare feet; the sound was so soft that they could barely hear it; they could only hear it because of the complete silence around the area and the echo.
"What is…."
Ye Shaoyang shook his hand and pulled Xiao Ma back to an empty room and peeped outside. A moment later, a shadow appeared from the stairs. It was Zhuang Yuning. Her red pajamas were heavily soaked to the point that it stuck onto her body, revealing her sexy, slender figure.
However, the two of them had no time to enjoy her body. Their gaze fixed onto her sluggish, blank face. Something invisible seemed to pull her forward as her body rigidly walked toward the entrance.
Xiao Ma took a deep breath and whispered, "Could she be transformed into an undead?"
"No. She was possessed. The child spirit possessed her and plans to bring her somewhere."
"Where is she going to?" Xiao Ma asked immediately.
"How would I know?" Ye Shaoyang observed for a while before he continued, "I am afraid that the spirit would do something bad to her if I attack now. The spirit could kill her instantly. I need your help me prevent her from getting hurt." Then, he whispered his plan in Xiao Ma's ear.
"All right. I'm ready. You can start anytime!" Xiao Ma nodded after listening to his plan.
