Staircase?

Xia Lan was stunned, and hurriedly followed Zhang Cheng out.

The staircase of the maternity and child health hospital is about two meters wide, with white walls on the left, handrails on the right, and concrete floors.

Go up from the twelfth floor, turn a corner, and go up a dozen steps to the rooftop.

Zhang Cheng walked back and forth a few times, went down to the 11th floor a few times, looked at Xia Lan and said, "Have you found a problem?" ”

Xia Lan looked dazed, "There's no problem...... There's nothing here, let alone children, not even rats to hide. ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head, stood at the corner of the stairs and said, "I have counted, there are a total of twelve steps from the twelfth floor to the corner, but there are thirteen steps from the corner to the rooftop. ”

"Huh?" Xia Lan had a question mark on her head, "So what?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Cheng smiled, "The number 13 is unlucky in the West, and general buildings will deliberately circumvent it, some hotels don't even have 13 floors, and after the 12th floor, it is directly the 14th floor, or the 13th floor is used as an equipment room." Although our country does not pay attention to these, some architects who have returned from studying abroad will still pay attention to this, this building looks quite new, it should have just been built, right? ”

"Yes!" Xia Lan replied: "This building was built last year, and the Maternal and Child Health Hospital has just moved over, but I don't know where the designer is, and even if it is, what's the problem with one more step?" Could it be that those five children could still hide inside? ”

Zhang Cheng didn't speak, raised his feet and walked up, stood on the dozen steps leading to the rooftop, squatted down and studied it carefully, and soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xia Lan stood beside him inexplicably, and couldn't help but raise her foot and step on it.

"It's concrete! What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Zhang Cheng stood up, pointed to the gray and white steps in front of him and said, "If my guess is correct, this is where Zuo Ci is hiding." ”

"What?" Xia Lan didn't know what to say, "Don't be kidding, how can you hide people in such a big place." ”

Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and wiped Xia Lan's eyes, and said lightly: "There are some things that ordinary people can't see, you can look at them now." ”

Xia Lan's eyes turned when she heard this, and the expression on her face suddenly changed greatly.

Originally, there was only one step left, but at this time, it continued to extend upward, and from the thirteenth year onwards, the original concrete staircase was all made of wood, which looked very old.

Looking up along the stairs, Xia Lan almost didn't scream, and another floor actually appeared above, and there were three blood-red numbers written next to the door.

“13”

"Oh my God! What's going on? How to get an extra 13th floor! Xia Lan couldn't hold back her surprise and shouted.

Zhang Cheng smiled, "After all, Chaos is one of the four murderers of the ancients, if there is no means, wouldn't it be in vain to be blind to this name, if it weren't for their extra moves, I really couldn't find this place." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng stepped on the wooden ladder and walked up one step at a time.

Xia Lan took a few deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and cautiously followed behind Zhang Cheng.

"Squeak......

"Squeak......

When you step on the wooden ladder, you make an unpleasant sound, as if you are about to break at any moment.

After walking up for a while, the surrounding light quickly dimmed, and because of the wood, the surrounding walls were faintly reddened, looking like nine hells.

Walking up to the thirteenth floor, Zhang Cheng slowly pushed open the wooden door, and a strong ghost aura suddenly rushed out, pushing Xia Lan back again and again, but fortunately, Zhang Cheng grabbed her quickly and didn't let her roll down the stairs.

"What...... What the hell ......" Xia Lan's face turned pale with fright.

Zhang Cheng frowned, judging from the ghostly spirit, there should be a lot of evil ghosts inside, and he was afraid that Xia Lan would be in danger if he rushed in.

But if you leave her outside, you are afraid that the old ghost will take advantage of the opportunity to capture her, and then you will have to work hard to save her.

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, released a ghost aura to envelop Xia Lan, and said in a deep voice: "With my ghost qi to protect you, ordinary ghosts should not be able to hurt you, follow me for a while, don't run around, look at this battle, this is likely to be Zuo Ci's real lair." ”

Xia Lan stopped, her expression suddenly became nervous, she took out her gun and said, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, and walked in first, the layout of the 13th floor was completely different from the below, although there was also a corridor, but both the floor and the walls were wooden, and the old wood was covered with mildew, faintly exuding a stream of yin.

Zhang Cheng reached out and touched it, and found that it was a locust wood.

The so-called Huaisheng ghost and willow demon, Huaimu is born with yin energy, which is beneficial to ghosts.

Next to the corridor there are sliding doors, also wooden, and red lanterns hang outside, emitting a gloomy dark light, which is extremely terrifying.

Zhang Cheng felt it and found that the aura here was very chaotic, with yin, ghost, and evil qi mixed together.

However, he still captured a faint trace of yang energy from these mixed breaths, and there was still yang energy in this place, except for him and Xia Lan, there were only those five children.

Zhang Cheng's expression perked up and walked along the corridor towards the front......

Suddenly, a flash of wooden door next to it suddenly opened, and a miserable white hand suddenly poked out from inside and pinched Zhang Cheng's neck.

Zhang Cheng was startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to block it, and slapped that hand away, but for a moment of contact, he felt a gloomy ghost qi rushing towards his body along the palm of his hand.

In the past, the ghost qi entering the body was like a tonic to him, but now the ghost qi entering the arm is different, and it is incompatible with the ghost qi in his body, just like a strong alkali meets a strong acid, and it reacts violently in an instant.

Zhang Cheng looked at his rapidly festering arm, quickly withdrew the ghost qi, and used the corpse qi to force out the breath in the arm.

"Sure enough, you still found this place, since you came, then you should stay here too......" The miserable white arm was retracted, and a cold voice came from behind the door.

Zhang Cheng snorted, raised his feet and chased in, as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly felt a chill above his head, looked up suddenly, and found a flat black figure sticking to the door frame.

As soon as the black shadow moved, it suddenly hung upside down, and two miserable white arms stretched out at the same time and grabbed the top of Zhang Cheng's head.

Zhang Cheng was in danger, opened his mouth and spewed out a ghostly aura, which turned into a black shield and blocked in front of him.

But the black shadow was like water, spreading down from the edge of the shield, and soon dripped to the ground, melting into Zhang Cheng's shadow.

Zhang Cheng's body suddenly stiffened, and he felt as if his whole body was wrapped in something, and his movements instantly became obscure, and soon he couldn't even move his fingers.

"What a good corpse...... "What a corpse...... Don't worry, when your soul is gone, I will make good use of your body. ”
