A motorcycle journey through the worlds

Chapter 230 Living Person

The door slowly opened, making a tooth-grinding "creaking" sound, as if it was a call from the depths of hell. Outside the door, there was a thick darkness like ink. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes peeping at Lin Yu in the darkness, which gave him goose bumps instantly. The light of Lin Yu's flashlight seemed so weak in the darkness, as if it would be swallowed by the darkness at any time. He could not see anything, only endless emptiness and an indescribable sense of oppression. Lin Yu stood silently for a long time. He said nothing, and had no special expression. He just looked out the door calmly. However, under this calm, the fear in his heart surged like a tide. I don't know how long it took, he finally slowly closed the door, then put his hands on the door, his forehead on the back of his hands, and stood there quietly. At this moment, it was unprecedented to see a trace of fatigue from Lin Yu's body...

But this reaction was only a flash in the pan, and before he could even confirm whether it was an illusion, Lin Yu had already stood up straight, and both his mind and body had returned to their original state in an instant...

"Hmm... I think I still have some tasks to complete... Maybe I should hurry up..."

With a slight distraction, Lin Yu turned and walked towards the stairs.

After stepping onto the stairs, Lin Yu's body was shrouded in complete darkness, and even no light could penetrate. Lin Yu didn't know where his next step would be, nor did he know where the end of the stairs was. He only knew to take a step forward silently, and he only knew that he had to keep moving forward...

In the darkness, a hand suddenly rested on Lin Yu's left shoulder from behind. It was so sudden that Lin Yu had not received any warning before. Who else was there in this dark space besides himself? This hand was cold... generous... Lin Yu closed his eyes slightly, but he did not look back at all, and did not care who was patting him from behind. Lin Yu continued to walk forward... When Lin Yu took another step, his eyes blurred, and the faint dark red light finally came into his eyes under the illumination of the safety flashlight in his hand. Although it was still so gloomy and terrifying here, it seemed much more comfortable compared to the absolute darkness and loneliness on the stairs before.

Oh, and that cold, broad hand... Thinking of this, Lin Yu turned around and looked at the stairs in the corridor. Looking down from here, there was nothing unusual. He could see downstairs at a glance, and naturally there was no wind on the stairs... But... Lin Yu immediately found something unusual. He was on the first floor of the hospital just now. There was the hospital gate not far away, and the gate was facing the stairs. Lin Yu went up one step, so he should be on the second floor now. From here, he should be able to see the entire lobby on the first floor... But now, Lin Yu looked down from above, but he couldn't see any hospital gate at all... Where the gate should have been, there was a row of dark wards with half-closed doors...

"So, which floor am I on now?" Lin Yu turned his head and looked at the wall beside him. There should be a floor number display board indicating the current floor. Lin Yu saw the sign at a glance, but he still didn't know which floor he was on... The reason was simple, because this Arabic numeral display board made of relief material was jumping like the numbers on an electronic display screen, from zero to nine, blurring into a phantom. God knows what it actually shows... In this silent and dead corridor of the abandoned hospital, these crazy jumping numbers seemed to be the only active thing.

Lin Yu no longer paid attention to these things, but recalled the map that he had memorized in his mind before... When he was memorizing the map before, it only showed the map of six floors, but suddenly layers of phantoms were superimposed, just like a thick book. The map shown by each layer of phantom was completely different, and Lin Yu didn't care about it, but forcibly memorized all those flickering phantoms in his mind. Now it seems that this may be his only hope to find the exit...

The amount of information that needed to be processed was too staggering. Even for Lin Yu, it took a long time to finally pick out a map from his mind. Lin Yu verified it left and right, and finally confirmed that the house distribution shown on the map was exactly the floor he was on. Then, the only thing left was to find the stairs...

Lin Yu walked through the corridors in the dead silence of the hospital. From time to time, he could see overturned wheelchairs or randomly placed beds in the corridor. Naturally, these things were covered with thick rust and... dark red blood stains. Suddenly, Lin Yu stopped, because not far in front of him, in a ward, from the half-open door, there was a faint light coming out... Since Lin Yu entered this underground hospital, except for the safety flashlight in his hand, he had never seen any light, so what exactly was that light? What was hidden in that ward?

Lin Yu finally took a step forward, step by step, and walked forward slowly... When he arrived at the door of the room, Lin Yu took a breath quietly, then reached out and pushed open the door of the ward...

“Who is it…” An old voice sounded immediately. The voice was so weak, and there were bouts of coughing in between, so much so that Lin Yu began to doubt whether the life of the owner of this voice could be extinguished at any time… Besides, this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere before by Lin Yu… Taking two steps forward slowly, Lin Yu shone the safety flashlight in his hand forward. There was an old hospital bed, and a quilt full of holes that was almost completely rotten… Under the quilt was a person… An old man… So much so that Lin Yu couldn’t even tell how old this person was… The wrinkles on the old man’s face had completely replaced his facial features, and on his head there were a few sparse white hairs that could be easily counted. The whole ward exuded a decayed atmosphere, but strangely, there was no smell of blood…

Not only that, Lin Yu also noticed that there was a person lying on the lower left corner of the bed... No... It was not a person, but a skeleton wearing clothes that were about to rot. For some reason, Lin Yu always felt that the style of the clothes was familiar...
