Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 3: Sophistry Hospital ()

The moment he reached the first floor, Li Li walked very lightly, not daring to make any sound during the entire process.

The person behind him also followed Li Li's example and tiptoed into the first floor.

The entire first floor is an open space. The dim fluorescent lights illuminate the neatly arranged dining tables. Close to the east wall is an entire opaque partition separated by glass.

The front of the entire compartment has windows and a long passageway like a normal cafeteria.

Looking at the darkness in the window, the girls in the team became nervous, but they remembered Li Li's instructions firmly and did not let their screams come out of their mouths.

Li Li walked to a window and stood there waiting. The food handed out every day was different, but there was only one situation where he didn't need to catch the food but had to run away immediately.

Li Li thought that he had forgotten to remind the people behind him that if they saw plates that were obviously not food, they should immediately turn around and run upstairs, but he felt that he should not be so unlucky to be bumped into by others.

Looking at the window that was obviously slowing down a lot, Li Li frowned uneasily and glanced at the two brothers beside him.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Si also frowned in worry because the food was obviously handed out slower than usual.

Suddenly Li Li heard a light cry. Just as he was about to walk over to stop the other party from making the sound, he recognized that it was one of the two girls who had been in the ward next to him, holding the food tray in her trembling hands.

When Li Li saw that there was obviously not food on the plate but a pair of bloody hands, his pupils widened. He no longer cared about his own instructions not to speak and shouted.

“Run!!!!!”

Li Li took the lead and rushed towards the stairs with his two brothers without looking back. He knew that if he reacted a little later, he would be left on the first floor.

After hearing the shout, several people who reacted quickly followed the two people and ran to the stairs.

The timid girl was crying in front of the plate in her hands. She was so scared that she didn't know what to do. She looked at her sisters beside her for help.

"Put it back first."

The brave girl no longer cared about the rule of not talking. She looked at the people who had run away and spoke anxiously to the timid girl.

"I...I can't move."

The timid girl wanted to put the plate back, but now she felt that her body could no longer be controlled by her brain.

The brave girl knew that it was the plate in front of her that caused the trouble. She wanted to reach out to take the plate to rescue her friend, but found that something seemed to be approaching them.

"what!!!!!"

Hearing the screams coming from behind, one of the people who were running away couldn't help but look back and saw countless dark shadows standing in front of the neatly arranged dining tables, and a large number of them were staggering towards the two girls who were still there.

The person who was escaping immediately realized the danger and wanted to move away from the dining table he was close to, but he was immediately knocked to the ground. After a scream, he fell into complete silence.

Li Li waited until he ran up to the second floor before he dared to stop at the stairs to see how many people were left around him.

Li Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two brothers beside him were still safe and sound. Looking at the three people running up the stairs one after another, Li Li knew that he had not explained clearly today.

Several people collapsed on the ground, gasping loudly. One of them, who was near the stairs, felt very strange when he saw a black shadow lingering at the stairs on the first floor and not daring to go up. He turned to look at Li Li, who obviously knew a lot, and asked him.

"Why did they only come to this staircase?"

"Because...ha...once you go up to the second floor, it's no longer the kitchen's territory."

Li Li answered the other party's questions while panting.

"And each floor has different owners, so you must abide by the rules on the note and not violate them."

The other woman who escaped could not help but ask after taking a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Then why aren't there any explanations on the note about these things on the first floor?"

After hearing this, Li Li carefully observed the woman who spoke.

This is a woman with a neat ponytail and wearing a sports suit. The muscular lines in her hands also show that she is someone who exercises regularly.

"because……"

Li Li recalled what happened a week ago. At that time, he and two other people were following an uncle who had been in the Sophistry Hospital for a month. He also asked the other party why the first floor was not marked in the rules.

"Because this is a hospital, and the cafeteria itself is not part of the hospital. It just appeared out of nowhere."

Thinking of the scene where the uncle died tragically in front of him, Li Li sighed and repeated what the other party had told him.

"This cafeteria doesn't belong to the hospital?"

Sports women are full of questions about this statement.

"Could this cafeteria appear out of nowhere?"

Li Li shook his head. He obviously didn't know more. After all, there were many things that were not written in the rules and were told to him by the uncle who died tragically.

Looking at Li Li who obviously didn't know anything more, the athletic girl doubted whether she could safely leave this hellhole by following him.

"Then do you know how to leave?"

A gloomy man wearing glasses next to the athlete looked at Li Li and asked.

Wang Qiang was dissatisfied when he heard this. Just as he was about to retort, Zhao Si beside him spoke.

"Before you ask me questions, shouldn't you tell me your name? Otherwise, I might get killed by accident and not even have a name left behind."

When Li Li heard what Zhao Si said, he looked at him strangely. In the more than a week they had been together, Zhao Si had not been such an aggressive person.

The two people who spoke obviously didn't know Zhao Si's character. They just looked at each other and said their names.

"My name is Lin Yin, his name is Lin Yu, and we are twins."

"My name is Qian Nan..."

A man who was being ignored nearby also announced his name.

Li Li's attention shifted to the couple who claimed to be twins. He also found it very strange. These two people clearly had no similarities and had not shown any tacit understanding just now. Why did they say they were twins?

Li Li looked at the ignored man and felt that he seemed not to have seen him just now.

At this moment, Li Li suddenly had a very awkward premonition, as if something was not right with everyone around him. Thinking of this, he stopped talking and just watched these people talking to each other.

Several people did not notice anything unusual about Li Li, but after a quarrel, they concluded that they would not get any food today.

"So you guys don't have any food hidden?"

Lin Yu looked at the men in front of him with obvious disbelief.

"What are we hiding? Where?"

Wang Qiang got unhappy when he heard this and started yelling. After all, the food he got from the restaurant was not fixed every time. Sometimes he got more or less, and sometimes he would finish it in one meal. So in order not to starve his brothers to death, he had to starve himself often.

"Of course we can't hide any food. I just don't know if you hid anything when you ran up here just now."

Zhao Si also started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

Lin Yu immediately became unhappy when he heard this. He was the one wearing the most among the group, including a coat, while Lin Yin and Qian Nan were obviously wearing only single clothes and had no way of hiding anything on their bodies, so these words could only be a mockery of himself.

"What did you say!"

Lin Yu walked forward and lifted Zhao Si's collar. Although it was his first time to enter the horror space, he had heard of the name of the horror space a long time ago. There were many people in it who could not return to the real world.

When Wang Qiang saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward to pull Lin Yu, and when Lin Yin saw Wang Qiang's actions, she also stepped forward to help her brother.

Qian Nan, who was at a loss, stood beside them, trying to persuade them to stop.

Li Li watched the fight between the men indifferently and did not try to stop them. He felt that something was wrong with them. Maybe they were the hermaphrodites that the uncle had told him about before his tragic death.

Li Li remembered what the kind-hearted uncle said to him when he was dying, holding his hand: "Don't trust anyone! Maybe they are not human!"

Thinking of this, Li Li secretly walked upstairs. He wanted to find a place where no one knew him to hide. What if these people were no longer the same people, then there was a high probability that he would be the first to be killed.

After the fight, they realized that Li Li had disappeared for a long time.

Wang Qiang looked at Zhao Si beside him in confusion and asked, "Did you see where Li Li went?"

Zhao Si also shook his head in confusion: "No, he was just here!"

Zhao Si had seen Li Li before he and Lin Yu had an argument, but he didn't know why Li Li disappeared after the argument.

Lin Yu snorted coldly when he saw this scene.

"Heh, maybe he left you behind and went to secretly look for the food he had hidden!"

Wang Qiang immediately became unhappy when he heard this and shouted angrily at Lin Yu.

"Let me tell you! Our brother Li is not that kind of person at all! On the contrary, a weird person like you is obviously a sinister and cunning person!"

When Lin Yin heard this, she immediately hugged her brother and then looked at Wang Qiang.

"Everyone, please stop talking! Now that the person is missing, should we go look for him? Or should we hide?"

Although Lin Yin didn't see the clock, she clearly noticed that it was getting dark.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Si also noticed the sky getting darker. They also wondered why time passed so quickly today, but they still prepared to go upstairs and hide quickly.

Lin Yin watched their actions and pulled Lin Yu to follow them. After all, these two people obviously knew which floor was safer to hide.

Qian Nan continued to follow the person in front of him, being ignored. He just felt it was strange and didn't know why he could always hear the dripping sound.

Qian Nan looked around but couldn't find the source of the strange sound. Seeing the four people obviously walking away, he hurriedly followed them.

After they left the stairs on the second floor, a puddle of water strangely appeared at the stairs.
