“Why aren’t they awake yet?” Feng Qing muttered in confusion.
Seeing the three people still with their eyes closed, Bei Yutang, who had been standing idly by, finally spoke up, “Well, actually, you can do it like this.”
Feng Qing turned his head and saw Bei Yutang splash a glass of water directly onto Dr. Zhang’s face. The impact and the cold water finally made him react.
Dr. Zhang’s brows furrowed slightly, and he opened his eyes in pain.
As he opened his eyes, his hand unconsciously touched his forehead.
Dr. Zhang looked up at the two people standing in front of him and murmured, “What happened to me?”
Feng Qing saw that he was awake: “Hey, he really woke up. Let me try.”
Feng Qing took two empty glasses, refilled them with water, and, without saying a word, splashed the water on Yan Jin. Dr. Zhang, standing nearby, became an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.
Feng Qing, seeing that Yan Jin had woken up, was in a good mood and eagerly prepared to move on to the next target. However, just as he was about to proceed, his target, Li Mengmeng, fluttered her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.
Whether Feng Qing didn’t see it or did it intentionally, the glass of water didn’t stop flowing just because she opened her eyes.
The moment Li Mengmeng opened her eyes, a glass of cold water was thrown in her face, leaving her completely bewildered.
The next second, Li Mengmeng let out an angry roar, “Ah!! You bastard!”
Feng Qing was displeased. He put his hands on his hips and looked down at her.
“What’s wrong with you, woman? I kindly woke you up, and you actually cursed at me. Tsk, tsk, truly repaying kindness with enmity.”
Li Mengmeng was furious but unable to refute him.
To prevent them from arguing, Dr. Zhang spoke up, “Li Mengmeng, he’s also helping us.”
“Where are we now?” Yan Jin asked.
The corridors of the East Hall and West Hall were very similar, which made it difficult for them to recognize where they were at first.
“We’re still in the East Hall.” Bei Yutang replied.
“By the way, how did you all faint in the room?”
At this, the three of them trembled slightly.
Dr. Zhang spoke first, “After we entered this room, we were just about to check if there was anything inside that concerned the castle’s owner. Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder outside, and then the lights in the room went out. Just as we were about to go back, the door suddenly closed by itself, and a faint sound came from inside—a sound that was like the wind, yet also like someone crying.”
At this point, the three of them turned pale, as if they were still unable to recover from the experience.
“What happened next?” Feng Qing asked.
This time, it wasn’t Dr. Zhang who answered, but Yan Jin.
“The three of us were terrified. We tried desperately to break down the door, but it was locked. We…we just saw a little girl run past the window.”
As he said this, the overhead light suddenly went out, plunging them into darkness.
This sudden scene terrified everyone.
Li Mengmeng screamed in terror, “Aaaaaah!!!”
“Shut up.” Feng Qing snapped, silencing her shrill cry.
Everyone huddled together.
“I…we need to get out of here quickly.” Dr. Zhang’s voice trembled slightly.
“Get out of this awful place right now.” Li Mengmeng cried.
This place was too eerie; it terrified them from the bottom of their hearts. From initial curiosity to current fear and unease, the three of them didn’t want to stay here for even a second longer.
