The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 7
Chapter 7: Safe House
? ? ?? ?? ?? ? ?
On the A4 paper, densely written, “It hurts, it hurts…”
Lin Zizhou’s cold sweat pours down, especially when he sees the latest date coincidentally being today, a chilling sensation runs through him.
“Ah, it hurts.”
Suddenly, Lin Xue’er cries out in pain, and everyone in the office instantly turns to look at her.
“Sorry, I accidentally hit the corner of the desk.”
She rubs her elbow, with an innocent and pitiful expression.
“Remember hint 1, don’t speak loudly,” Shen Ruo quietly warns.
Lin Xue’er’s face shows a touch of embarrassment, silently criticizing Shen Ruo for not understanding the value of cherishing beauty.
“I got it~” she sticks out her tongue, pretending to be innocent.
[“Lin Xue’er is so pretentious, her face is completely ruined, yet she still pretends to be cute.”]
[“Although pretentious, she knows how to get close to a man!”]
[“But Shen Ruo doesn’t buy into it at all. Lin Xue’er’s idea of clinging to a thigh can take a break.”]
The barrage in Room 92 spares no mercy in its comments.
Among the broadcasters in this room, these comments are the most diligent. After obtaining the clues, the group leaves the office, with Lin Xue’er walking at the back, feeling uneasy.
Whether it’s her imagination or not, she feels an itch in the elbow where she was hit just now, so she can’t help but scratch.
“It’s so itchy, so itchy…”
Lin Xue’er scratches faster and faster, her delicate nails acting like sharp blades cutting through her flesh. Before long, her elbow becomes a blurry mess of blood and flesh.
“Lin Xue’er, what are you doing?”
Lin Zizhou noticed something was wrong with Lin Xue’er, turned around, and saw her arm covered in fresh blood, yet her hand continued to scratch incessantly.
But Lin Xue’er seemed oblivious, murmuring, “Itchy, it feels like there are bugs crawling inside, so itchy!”
“Stop it, there are no bugs inside,” Lin Zizhou intervened.
“So many bugs, I saw them, crawling inside. I need to pull them all out,” exclaimed Lin Xue’er, her eyes bloodshot, crazily tearing off pieces of her own flesh.
“Look, I found the bugs,” she suddenly shouted with excitement, horrifying Lin Zizhou as he saw a wriggling maggot in Lin Xue’er’s blood-soaked hand…
“Gag—”
Lin Zizhou couldn’t help but vomit.
“There are still bugs, many bugs…”
Lin Xue’er threw the maggots on the ground and continued searching for bugs. The flesh on her arms had been torn off, and suddenly she said, “My eyes itch so much!”
In the fearful gaze of Lin Zizhou, Lin Xue’er inserted her fingers into her eye sockets…
“Hurry, let’s go.”
Shen Ruo pulled Lin Zizhou, his expression equally grim, but it wasn’t a time to be afraid.
In the dim corridor, after the few had left, Lin Xue’er’s screams became increasingly piercing.
“Don’t leave me, please don’t leave me…”
“It hurts, it hurts so much…”
The final scream was clearly no longer Lin Xue’er’s voice.
“It seems Lin Xue’er shouted ‘it hurts’ loudly in the office, so she fell for it,” Zhou Ya said in shock.
Shen Ruo looked serious, “We must not speak loudly.”
“Only 40 minutes left, can we survive?” Lin Zizhou sat despondently on the ground. Lin Xue’er’s tragic state had robbed him of hope for survival.
A three-and-a-half-star mission was a desperate hell for them!
Ding: Congratulations, Player 65, on accumulating 10,000 popularity points, unlocking Hint 2.
Hint 2: Sister is not sick.
After receiving the system reminder, Shen Ruo’s expression kept changing.
If Sister is not sick, it means the little boy that Mu Qing saw is real.
So that boy is—a ghost!
“Bang—bang—bang—”
“Brothers and sisters, would you like to play a game together?”
At an unknown moment, a little boy appeared before the three, cradling a red leather ball in his arms, his fingers a bloody mess, and faintly visible bone tips.
“Brothers and sisters, would you like to play a game together?”
He repeated, and a dark brown blood flowed steadily from his slashed throat.
Shen Ruo finally saw that his throat seemed to be cut by a sharp blade.
“Brother—sister—”
The little boy’s voice gradually became sharp.
“Bang—”
Suddenly, his head fell onto the cement floor.
The putrid blood made people nauseous.
“We—should—play—a—game—together—okay?”
The mouth on the boy’s head opened and closed, the sharp voice piercing.
The headless body wriggled and crawled towards the group, leaving a shocking blood trail in the corridor.
“Run… run fast!”
Shen Ruo’s pupils constricted; he roared and sprinted in the opposite direction.
“Ah—”
Zhou Ya screamed as countless decaying arms protruded from the corridor walls, wildly swinging.
In an instant, Zhou Ya’s arm was torn open, blood streaming, while Lin Zizhou and Shen Ruo were equally battered, covered in wounds.
“Are we all going to die here?” Lin Zizhou despaired completely…

On the other side, the clamor and noise in the corridor made Chu Ci furrow his brow slightly.
He glanced at the closed eyes of Qing Li, expressionless, rolled up his sleeves, and the silver surgical blade reflected the distinct joints of his fingers.
Just as Chu Ci was about to open the door to deal with the noisy people outside…
Qing Li opened her eyes, smiled gently, twirled her disheveled hair with her fingers, and said with a smile, “No need to trouble Dr. Chu this time; the people outside are my companions.”
She leaped off the operating table and leisurely opened the door.
In the eerie and dark red corridor, countless ghostly claws waved, desperate people ran, and fear filled the air…
Compared to the calm Qing Li, it seemed like being in two different worlds.
Qing Li’s eyes turned, choosing not to intervene; she raised her eyebrows and shouted loudly, “Safe room for sale, can accommodate three people, come to the safe room!”
The few people frantically escaping:
“You’re not dead?”
Shen Ruo looked shocked at Qing Li, who suddenly appeared. He awkwardly hid in the operating room, Zhou Ya and Lin Zizhou hurriedly ran in.
The people were covered in blood, some wounds even exposing bone.
“Bang—”
Qing Li closed the door, and outside came the piercing sound of scratching, making the three survivors shudder.
“No. 100, you…”
Shen Ruo hesitated to speak, eager to know why Qing Li appeared here when she was supposed to be taken by ghosts…
“I got lucky, and found this safe and reliable place; the ghosts outside can’t come in for now.”
Qing Li’s smile was innocent, but her dark eyes stared directly at the few people.
Hearing about temporary safety, the tension in the few people’s nerves couldn’t help but relax.
And the next second, Qing Li straightforwardly spoke: “However, this safe place was discovered by me. If I hadn’t opened the door for you just now, you might have died outside. So… should you be thanking me?”
Qing Li’s direct approach was akin to almost reaching out and asking for money.
