Seeing Wu Dahai sweating profusely and panting heavily, his white shirt creased and missing two buttons, Wang Ziteng cursed, "You useless piece of trash!"
Then, he turned his anger towards Fang Xiu.
"Fang Xiu, what the hell do you want? Do you even know who my father is...?"
Before Wang Ziteng could finish speaking, Fang Xiu pushed him to the ground, revealing the pitiful, frightened Li Feifei behind him.
"Ouch, you dare push me?" Wang Ziteng instantly flew into a thunderous rage.
"Ah!" Li Feifei was so frightened that she screamed. She thought Fang Xiu was going to do something indecent to her.
However, the next second, Li Feifei felt a force coming towards her, and her slender body was pushed off the desk.
After pushing the two of them aside, Fang Xiu's gaze focused on the parchment on the Dean's desk.
One glance, and his mind was instantly shaken violently.
He saw written on it: "Want to know the truth of this world?
Want to know what bizarre entities really are?
You've managed to reach this place, so your heart must be full of questions. Don't be impatient, my friend. I've left everything in Room 520 of Building C at Qingshan Mental Hospital. Everything you want to know is there. Go, go and seek it.
When you find the truth, it will also be the time for you to make a choice.
Follow your heart and accept the gift of fate."
The signature below read a name.
Zhou Qingfeng
Fang Xiu read every word, and a monstrous wave had already been stirred up in his heart.
As expected! The mental hospital indeed hid a great secret!
This Zhou Qingfeng should be the Dean of Qingshan Mental Hospital.
Then, who was this letter written to?
Was it written to himself or someone else? Did he know all along that Fang Xiu would come?
Old doubts had not yet been resolved, and new doubts arose again.
Building C, Room 520? Perhaps all the answers were there.
Fang Xiu turned to leave.
However, at this moment, Wang Ziteng, who had already gotten up, stood menacingly in his way.
"You think you can just run after pushing me? Today..."
Before Wang Ziteng could finish speaking, suddenly, the light bulb overhead crackled.
It instantly went out, and the entire room plunged into darkness.
Wang Ziteng, who had intended to strike with full force, immediately lost his target.
"Damn it! Power outage? Wu Dahai! Go turn on the backup power supply. Let me tell you, kid, don't you dare run."
In the darkness, Fang Xiu acted as if he hadn't heard Wang Ziteng's threat. At this moment, a storm had already been raging in his heart.
Because, at the instant of the power outage, Qingshan Mental Hospital disappeared!
His vision was now completely dark, but the disappearance of the mental hospital was not due to the darkness.
Because the power outage was in reality, not in the mental hospital.
The mental hospital was always shrouded in dim light. Logically, even if the power went out in reality, he should still be able to see the mental hospital.
But now, the mental hospital in his vision had vanished, as if it had also faded into the darkness.
The sudden turn of events caused a bad premonition in Fang Xiu's heart.
He hurriedly took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the surroundings.
However, he found that he could only see the office in reality; there was no trace of the mental hospital at all.
What on earth was going on?
Fang Xiu rushed out the door and ran towards the second floor. He wanted to see if the mental hospital was also gone in other places.
Seeing Fang Xiu "flee," Wang Ziteng immediately cursed and followed closely behind.
Wu Dahai was afraid that something might happen to Wang Ziteng, so he naturally followed as well.
The only woman left, Li Feifei, how could she dare to stay alone in the dark?
So, the group all surged towards the second floor.
Once on the second floor, Fang Xiu walked around, shining his flashlight to look for any trace of the mental hospital.
Nothing, nothing, it was nowhere to be found.
The mental hospital had vanished without a trace, like a mirage.
The employees on the second floor were very calm. After all, it was just a power outage, and with so many people together, even the female employees were not afraid.
Except for a few employees who were "wailing."
"Ah! The report I just finished filling out! I didn't even have time to save it! Why did the power have to go out now of all times? If I have to fill it out again, how late will I have to work overtime!"
Voices of schadenfreude sounded around them at the opportune moment.
"Luckily, I saved mine."
"Me too."
At this moment, Wu Dahai's voice came from the darkness, "Stop your ghostly howling! Someone go and see if the circuit breaker tripped!"
"I'll go see what caused my report to be redone!"
The employee who had just wailed volunteered, turned on the flashlight on their phone, and walked angrily into the darkness.
Perhaps because there were many bizarre legends in this world, a colleague joked in the darkness, "Do you need me to go with you? Be careful of encountering something strange by yourself."
The employee preparing to check the power supply scoffed, "Strange? When I think about having to work overtime later, my resentment is even greater than any strange thing. Even strange things would call me boss if they saw me."
After speaking, their figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
A burst of laughter echoed in the office.
"Huh! What's going on? Why is the flashlight on my phone so dim?" a female employee suddenly exclaimed softly in the darkness.
The colleague next to her said, "Is there dust on it? Wipe it."
"I wiped it, but it's useless. This crappy phone."
"That's not right, why is the flashlight on my phone so dim too?"
"Mine too."
Many employees holding up their phones in the darkness echoed in agreement.
Fang Xiu's attention was drawn by this scene, and he looked towards them, his pupils shrinking slightly.
He saw employees standing or sitting in the darkness, almost everyone holding up a lit phone. Logically, the light should have been sufficient to illuminate the entire office.
But now, the light seemed to be suppressed by the darkness, forced to within less than half a meter in front of them.
Moreover, strangely, according to common sense, the light emitted by a flashlight should become weaker the farther away it traveled.
But now, at half a meter, there was a clear dividing line between darkness and light. The light couldn't penetrate even a bit, as if it had been cut off by the darkness.
In that darkness, some kind of inexplicable plankton seemed to be surging.
It was a bizarre entity!
Fang Xiu almost subconsciously determined that this familiar feeling couldn't be wrong!
Just then, a bloodcurdling scream suddenly erupted from the darkness in the distance.
"Ah!!!"
The voice was familiar; it was the employee who had gone to check the power supply earlier.
This scream startled everyone.
"Zhang Bo, what's wrong? Did you get electrocuted?"
"Zhang Bo, don't try to scare us on purpose!"
Bang!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out.
"Ahhh!"
Many female employees screamed in fright.
"Stop shouting, Little Zhao, hurry up and go take a look," Wu Dahai ordered hastily.
The young Zhao, whose name was called, hesitated a little, but under Wu Dahai's previous pressure, he had no choice but to go check.
Little Zhao was the security guard Fang Xiu had encountered earlier. Wu Dahai had called him up. Perhaps due to the nature of his job, Wu Dahai thought of him first when danger arose.
Little Zhao turned on his flashlight and slowly walked into the darkness.
Time passed by, minute by minute. About five minutes had passed, but Little Zhao hadn't returned, and no sound had come from the darkness.
