Chapter 2867 Who wouldn't want to hug this?
Shi Ye was caught off guard and staggered backward from the impact. He instinctively reached out and hugged the person in his arms, asking in a low voice with some confusion, "What happened?"
Charlene trembled all over, her face pale, her finger pointing shakily towards the door, her voice broken, "There...there...there's a ghost!!!"
Shi Ye looked in the direction she pointed, puzzled. He saw that the doorway was empty, the corridor lights were dim, and there was nothing unusual except for the shadows of the still furniture.
He frowned, his tone gentle yet tinged with confusion: "There's no one here! Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Charlene was stunned, shaking her head in disbelief. "How could this be??? I clearly saw it just now!"
She mustered her courage, turned her head, and stared intently at the doorway.
But there was no one there, not even a trace of the wind.
She couldn't help but start to doubt herself, "Could it be... that I'm seeing things?"
No way...
But after a brief hesitation, she suddenly looked up and said firmly, "No! I...I really saw a figure, it's definitely not my imagination!"
Shi Ye was silent for a moment, his eyes becoming serious. He gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "Yes, I believe you."
"Then get off me first, I'll go check the door, okay?"
Charlene then suddenly realized that she was clinging to him.
One of her legs had unconsciously hooked onto his leg, a position that looked extremely ambiguous and made him feel incredibly ashamed.
Charlene's cheeks instantly burned bright red. She hurriedly let go of her hand and apologized incoherently, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to take advantage of you."
That was so sudden.
As she spoke, she quickly took two steps back, trying to create distance to hide her embarrassment.
Shi Ye glanced at her with a deep, dark look in his eyes, a hint of unfathomable emotion seemingly flashing across them.
He gave a soft "hmm," his voice low and slightly hoarse, as if hiding some kind of inexplicable surprise.
In fact, everything just now happened too fast. He only had time to feel a warm and soft touch suddenly crash into his arms, accompanied by a faint, pleasant fragrance. The scent lingered around his nose, making his mind wander for a few seconds.
He composed himself slightly, trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, and turned to walk to the door to check.
The corridor was empty, not a soul in sight, only the overhead lights casting a silent glow.
At this moment, viewers in the live chat began to speculate and express their doubts upon seeing this scene.
"Was there really someone there just now? Are you sure it wasn't just someone trying to take advantage of Tokino???"
"It doesn't look like it. The sudden scream was clearly an instinctive reaction because someone was frightened."
"Although she seemed terrified on the surface, I can understand that desire to take advantage of the situation. If it were me, I probably would have been tempted to hug her too!"
"That's right, who wouldn't want to hug such a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, long-legged little wolf dog?"
"I wanted to say, I saw it too! It was from Charlene's perspective, and it scared me half to death!"
"Who can imagine the scene of me screaming like a ghost on the subway early in the morning on my way to work? All the passengers around me turned around and stared at me... It was extremely embarrassing!"
"That face was terrifying! I've already uploaded it, you can all go and see it to see why Xia Lin reacted so strongly!"
Some people who hadn't seen Charlene's perspective were skeptical and quickly switched the scene to find out.
However, when they returned after a brief glance, they were all invariably horrified.
"My God, it really was a ghost face! It was so pale and white that even though I was mentally prepared, I was still terrified and felt a chill run down my spine when I saw it with my own eyes."
"So here's the question: why are there surviving NPCs in this abandoned hospital? Are they vengeful spirits?"
Charlene also pondered this question repeatedly.
She was absolutely certain she hadn't misread it; the figure she had just seen was almost certainly an NPC.
But what exactly is the situation with this NPC?
A ghost?
How is it related to the overall storyline of the instance?
A series of questions flooded her mind, but she couldn't make sense of them for a while.
She fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she suddenly came to her senses, only to find that Shi Ye was no longer by her side.
She was left alone in the entire dispensing room, surrounded by complete silence. This sudden silence felt particularly eerie in the atmosphere.
Xia Lin's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out instinctively, "Brother Shi Ye?"
Tokino did not respond.
Charlene was still reeling from the scary face, her heart was pounding and her courage hadn't quite caught up, so she panicked immediately.
In fact, she had already searched for most of the clues here and checked all the places that needed to be checked, so she decided not to linger any longer and quickly turned around and walked out, wanting to find Shi Ye as soon as possible.
She was actually scared, always worried that the terrifying ghost face would suddenly reappear at any moment.
But compared to that, she was more afraid of being alone and left in such a gloomy place.
As she walked, she reassured herself: Toshino-nii should be not far from the outside corridor, maybe he's just checking the other rooms.
To her utter surprise, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard a loud crash coming from a nearby room, as if something had collapsed.
Xia Lin trembled with fear, tears welling up in her eyes. She whispered in a choked voice, "Shi Ye...where are you...?"
She dared not think any further and immediately quickened her pace, jogging towards the direction from which the sound was coming from.
She kept calling Shi Ye's name as she ran, but still no one answered.
Charlene ran faster and faster, her heart growing more and more panicked, until she turned the corner and ran into another room, where she finally saw that familiar figure.
Shino was standing there with his back to her, motionless, as if he were nailed to the spot, staring intently at the room in front of him, as if he had discovered something extremely important, so focused that he didn't even notice her approaching.
Xia Lin panicked a little and couldn't help but raise her voice, calling out, "Brother Shi Ye?"
Hearing her call, Shi Ye turned around, his eyes filled with apology, and replied gently, "Ah, I'm sorry, I just heard a strange sound and rushed over in my haste, I forgot to tell you."
What's wrong? You sound like you're about to cry?
Charlene tried to calm herself down, gently shaking her head, her voice still carrying a hint of lingering fear, "No...it's nothing, I just suddenly realized you were missing, and I thought you had encountered some danger!"
I'm glad you're alright.
Shi Ye reached out and rubbed her head, explaining in a calm tone, "Don't worry, I did see a figure outside just now."
However, I only managed to catch a glimpse of the other person's clothes before they disappeared into the machine.
I'm investigating what this is.
