Everyone looked toward the dozen or so people who had already stepped outside.
Leading the way, Gu Mingyuan headed straight for the hospital building.
Under the dark sky, the connected hospital buildings looked like a black shadow blotting out the heavens, faintly blending into the darkness behind them.
The withered trees, their branches covered in icicles between the ground and the buildings, looked like enormous, ferocious ghost claws staring down at everyone.
They had not noticed it before.
But now that they looked, the entire hospital seemed shrouded in a hazy gloom, making it especially eerie.
Seeing that Gu Mingyuan was still walking toward the building,
one ability user clenched his teeth and charged ahead.
He suddenly sent out bolts of lightning, striking directly at the Gu siblings and the others who had been hypnotized.
Blue electrical arcs crackled over their bodies.
Gu Mingyuan's footsteps paused.
Then he looked up at the man.
When he saw Gu Mingyuan looking over, the man hurriedly closed his eyes, afraid to meet his gaze and terrified that he would be hypnotized too.
The moment he closed his eyes, the lightning attack abruptly stopped as well.
No one noticed that on a big tree outside the hospital, a red-eyed crow was tilting its head and watching everything.
A young man in the crowd kept his eyes fixed on the front.
His mental power rapidly spread out, probing the hospital as he tried to find the culprit hiding in the shadows.
But the moment his mental power entered the hospital building, his entire brain suddenly felt as if it were being stabbed by needles. Severe pain erupted, and his muscles began twitching uncontrollably.
He hurriedly withdrew his mental power. His eyes widened as he stared in terror at the pitch-black hospital building not far away.
