Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 680: Chapter 534: Hospital_3

The narrow screen displayed a long message scrolling continuously downward, "Please take me with you, as long as you help me find my body, I can find a way to take you out of here!" freēwēbnovel.com

"You’re talking about who?" Yang Xiao pressed on.

"Frog, Hai Hai, Hu." The screen quickly displayed five characters, separated with commas in the middle.

Seeing these three, Yang Xiao became even more confused. What was all this nonsense about? But before he could ask any more questions, he heard a series of dull footsteps from far away outside the door, as if the person approaching was wearing a pair of ill-fitting, heavy boots.

"Quick, hide, Frog is coming!" a line of text popped up on the screen, "Hide under the bed, go under the bed!!"

At this point, there was no time left to verify the veracity of this fellow’s claims. Rushing out now would only lead to being caught red-handed in the corridor by the individual in the large boots, and besides under the bed, there truly was no other place in the two rooms to hide.

Yang Xiao closed the door as quickly as possible, took his phone with him, and crawled under the bed. Thankfully, there was just enough space underneath. At this moment, Yang Xiao turned on his side, curled up, and stared intently at the wooden door, praying in his heart that the figure in the corridor would never come.

Unfortunately, the boot sounds stopped outside the metal door.

"Be careful, it’s going to come in."

A reminder drifted across the phone screen, sending Yang Xiao’s heart into his throat, he wanted to ask why this person was called Frog, but now he didn’t dare to move an inch.

"Creak."

The iron door was opened, and the boot steps grew louder as they moved from afar to the wooden door in front of Yang Xiao. Under his nervous gaze, the wooden door, too, was pushed open. A pair of thick black rubber boots stepped in against the light; the person was wearing a starkly mismatched white lab coat that was visible only from the waist down from Yang Xiao’s angle.

Even more terrifying was the fact that the person was holding a huge pair of scissors, nearly half a meter long, with a surface covered in rust.

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

The black boots headed straight for the bed, quickly flipping over the quilt. After a few seconds, the bed trembled incessantly as if its assailant had been gripped by rage, hammering and smashing the rag doll on the bed. The violent act continued for a whole minute before gradually coming to a stop.

Worried about the rag doll being "killed," Yang Xiao didn’t dare to send a message to ask, waiting instead until the person had completely ceased.

"Be careful, Frog seems to have noticed someone has been here!"

The screen lit up, and this sudden message took Yang Xiao’s breath away. He didn’t dare to breathe, and what was even more terrifying was that the person remained motionless, just standing beside the bed, with dirty boot tips pointing straight at Yang Xiao’s face.

"Don’t move, trust me, no matter what happens, don’t move, you must... you mustn’t move!!"

If Yang Xiao could see himself at this moment, he would notice his complexion was deathly pale, nearly devoid of color, as his entire body was curled up under the bed, less than half a meter away from those boots, the terrible oppression from the other person almost suffocating him.

And so, after an agonizing half minute, the boots finally moved, slowly turning, and Frog... although Yang Xiao didn’t know why this person was given that nickname, it didn’t matter anymore... as the figure had turned around and was about to leave.

By great luck, he wasn’t discovered.

"Thump."

The boots walked away, taking the first step toward the door. Yang Xiao’s raised heart finally began to settle down, but the next second—

"Crack—"

Yang Xiao’s head buzzed, and in an instant, his blood ran cold. He saw a head dangling in front of his face in a way no living person could possibly manage, as if the spine had snapped backward.

It was an utterly horrifying ghost face, with both eyes swollen and bulging from their sockets like two headlights hanging on the face. The corners of the mouth were torn all the way to the roots of the ears along the cheekbones, and at this moment, Yang Xiao finally understood why this person was called Frog.

But it was already too late.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was completely stupefied, his body utterly paralyzed by extreme terror, unable to move in the slightest, with only two words flashing through his mind:

"It’s over..."
