Chapter 46: The Mark

  Transtor: der Transtions

  --------

  The hallway was too deep and too quiet, so deep it felt like it had no end. When they had arrived, a woman had led the way, so it hadn’t seemed stra the time. But now, it felt like the perfect start to a horror movie.

  As they rouhe final er, the group finally reached the end of the corridor.

  On the left was the women's restroom, and on the right...

  Jiang g turned his head to look at the rusty, half-open iron door on the right, a straion flickering across his face.

  “Here,” Yu Wen oward the door of the men’s restroom on the right, lifting her . “Let’s take a look inside.”

  No one questioned her decision, as almost everyone could smell the st of blood.

  And the closer they got to the men’s restroom, the strohat st became.

  Finally, Luo Yi stepped forward to push the door open.

  The moment he did, he quickly retreated a step. The room inside was dimly lit, and no one immediately stepped in. They waited for their eyes to adjust to the darkness.

  Gradually, the se inside became clearer.

  Zhou Taifu, who was standing at the front, felt his legs go weak and colpsed to the floor.

  Zhang Yinyin’s face turned pale with terror, her lips whitening. Her teeth chattered untrolbly, and she couldn’t get a single word out.

  Long Tao stood in front of everyone, his head slightly raised, his body stiff, like he had just been dragged from a pool of blood.

  Like the gsam woman before him, his jaw was gone.

  His exposed gums were gruesome and ugly, shattered teeth embedded in the mangled flesh, writhing like maggots in deg meat.

  The fat man, who had eaten just as much as Jiang g for breakfast, felt his stomach violently.

  Blood had sprayed everywhere.

  On the mirrors, the sinks, even the moldy ceiling. It was clear the murder had happened in an instant, perhaps ihan a fra of a sed, and Long Tao’s jaw had been torn off by some massive force.

  The twisted and torn flesh was vividly visible.

  You could even see faint traces of the throat and other broken tissues.

  Yu Wen was the first to step forward, with Jiang g closely following behind.

  The two moved cautiously, carefully choosing where to step.

  The sound and slick feeling of stepping into a pool of blood were deeply uling.

  The corpse's hands hung limply by its sides. Jiang g touched one and found that the muscles in the forearm were tightly tensed.

  There were no signs of struggle; the se was impeccably preserved.

  The fat man, trembling, said, "Look… look at his eyes."

  The corpse's eyes were wide open, the brows exaggeratedly raised. He must have seen something terrifying before he died.

  Even ih, his face was frozen in indescribable fear.

  There was even blood seeping from the ers of his eyes.

  "His tongue is missing too," Yu Wen withdrew her hand.

  Some began to wonder if she was aced to dealing with corpses; otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm, especially with a bht in front of her.

  In nightmares, death was a on occurrence. What they o do was figure out the cause.

  At this point, Zhou Taifu, his face slightly better, stammered, "Why… why was Long Tao in the men's restroom? Acc to what we discussed earlier, he was supposed to go to the women’s restroom."

  "That's right," Zhang Yinyin agreed softly. "I remember the woman told him to go to the women's restroom."

  Luo Yi stroked his , and after a moment, he said, "Maybe Long Tao went into the women's restroom first, found something dangerous, and then switched to the men’s restroom?"

  "No," Jiang g said as he examihe surroundings. "Long Tao never ehe women's restroom. He came straight here."

  "What evidence do you have?"

  Jiang g merely g the man with indifferend replied, "If he had really noticed something unusual in the women’s restroom, do you think he’d have had the ce to escape from it and then e to the men’s restroom?"

  "Maybe the ghost deliberately drove him into the men’s restroom," Zhen Jianren sneered. "You never know."

  Jiang g’s calm attitude infuriated him.

  Jiang g spread his hands, looking i. “If you insist on thinking that, I won’t argue with you.”

  "Hmm, I think Mr. Hao has a point," Yu Wen said after some thought. "What we o do now is identify the ghost and us story."

  After hearing this, Zhou Taifu became agitated. "You still want to find the ghost? Wouldn’t it be better to hide? After all, the mission will end in seven days!"

  Luo Yi licked his lips, then suddenly ughed. "There’s never a she of naive people in nightmares. It’s frustrating, because you ’t use ‘o describe stupidity."

  Zhou Taifu gred at him, "What do you mean?"

  "Jeweler Zhou Taifu," Luo Yi adjusted the brim of his cap to the right, revealing a scar on his forehead. This ged his entire demeanor. "Are you sure you’ll really be able to leave here safely after seven days?"

  Zhou Taifu stared at this man who had shed his facade. No, he wasn’t young—he looked at least 35 or older.

  Just then...

  "Hmm?" Jiang g squatted down, a er of the restroom.

  Hearing this, the others came over as well.

  Following Jiang g’s gaze, they noticed some irregur marks on the messy floor.

  They were hard to spot if you didn’t look closely.

  "What is this?" the fat man asked, puzzled.

  At the same time, Yu Wen and the others also noticed the strange markings on the floor.

  Most of the marks were near Long Tao’s body, as if left by some kind of animal.

  Yu Wen reached out to touch the marks. They were still fresh, easily distinguishable from the old stains on the floor. “They look like hoof prints.”

  Yu Wen’s experience seemed extensive. After for only a few seds, she cluded, “They’re simir to goat or antelope prints.”

  The fat man’s eyes widened as he looked at her and stammered, "You… you ’t be saying that a goat ripped off his jaw, you?"

  It seemed too absurd, like something from a Greek myth.

  Yu Wen ignored him and followed the trail of the marks, notig that whatever left them had made a rge circle in the restroom.

  After pushing opeall doors one by ohey found a pile of feces in the fourth stall.

  It was still fresh.

  It must have bee by Long Tao.

  “He must have been killed by the ghost just as he was about to leave the restroom after using it,” the fat man took a deep breath, stating the obvious.

  Even though they had been prepared, the sed victim left a heavy atmosphere hanging over the group.

  Part of it was due to the eerie deaths of the gsam woman and Long Tao.

  But more importantly, it was because of the mysterious goat.
