As the laughter abruptly stopped, Yuwen Hao finally remembered where he had seen the name Gu Mian before.

He widened his eyes and looked at the doctor in front of him, "You..."

But before he could finish, Gu Mian lifted a leg and kicked the door squarely.

The loud sound of the door being kicked echoed in the dim corridor. At this moment, the call was suddenly hung up, though not by Gu Mian, of course.

Qing Huan and Huang Yu were still cowering against the wall in shock, unable to comprehend what had happened.

Why did Doctor Gu say something to the person on the other end, and then they stopped talking and hung up the phone?

Why could Doctor Gu smash down a door so brazenly!

The apartment was already dilapidated, so the front door was naturally very old.

Gu Mian, with great strength, kicked the door twice more, and it flew open.

The first thing they saw was a living room. It wasn't large, and the lights were off, making everything a blurry silhouette.

Gu Mian stepped inside and casually flipped the light switch by the door, instantly illuminating the room.

The other three followed behind, trembling.

It was a studio apartment, one room and one living area. They immediately spotted the single bedroom, but its door was tightly shut, and they couldn't see inside.

Gu Mian strode to the door and pushed, but it wouldn't budge. He knocked again, but there was no response from inside.

He stood at the door and called out, "Lin Yue'er?"

Still, there was no sound from within.

"Then we'll have to break down the door from the outside," Gu Mian thought, pushing against the door again. This door was much sturdier than the front door, and it felt like something was blocking it from the other side, making it impossible to kick open easily.

The others also noticed how solid the door was.

Yuwen Hao shivered and said, "Let's try ramming it together..."

Qing Huan and Huang Yu nodded silently.

Since they had come all this way, they couldn't leave empty-handed. Even though there might be something terrifying behind the door, for some reason, knowing Doctor Gu was here made them feel a little more at ease.

The three lined up and rammed the bedroom door together.

The bedroom door let out a violent thud but remained unmoved.

They rammed it a few more times, but it was still useless.

Qing Huan's shoulder ached from the impact, and his strength had waned considerably, but the door remained stubbornly shut.

"What do we do?" he asked anxiously, looking at Yuwen Hao.

Yuwen Hao was also at a loss, frantically looking around like a headless chicken.

But at that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a zipper being pulled behind him. Gu Mian was behind them.

Yuwen Hao whipped his head around and saw a jaw-dropping sight.

The doctor in the white coat had put down his guitar and was opening the case. The zipper was halfway undone, revealing a corner of the guitar.

"A guitar?" -- Not exactly.

Yuwen Hao watched as Gu Mian pulled a huge, monstrous chainsaw from the guitar case. His mouth hung open, and he forgot how to make a sound. "What the hell is this guitar?"

Didn't he say he was a doctor who loved music?

Didn't he say he was carrying a guitar?

How did it turn into a chainsaw in the blink of an eye!

Qing Huan, his face pale, retreated slightly, his back pressed against the door. "Clearly not..."

Gu Mian effortlessly lifted the chainsaw, which weighed over ten pounds, and walked towards them. "Move aside, brothers."

The three people pressed against the door scattered, but not too far, watching nervously as Gu Mian started the chainsaw.

The chainsaw roared to life, as loud as a motorcycle's engine, its sound particularly pleasing in the darkness.

Gu Mian aimed at the door lock and cut into it. In front of the ferocious chainsaw, the lock was cut as easily as cutting tofu, making the three onlookers tremble.

The door swung open.

The room inside was also pitch black, with no lights on. Gu Mian turned off the chainsaw and flipped the light switch.

The three people in the distance shuffled closer, but they still kept their distance from the chainsaw in Gu Mian's hand, avoiding it.

The scene inside the room was now clear.

A bed, a wardrobe, a nightstand, and a telephone on the floor by the bed, which looked like it had fallen from the nightstand.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

Yuwen Hao looked around the room in surprise. "Lin Yue'er isn't here?"

Qing Huan stared at the phone on the floor. "The ghost used this to call us just now... Is it gone now?"

As soon as he said that, the other two shivered.

If that ghost hadn't left yet, wouldn't they be sharing a room with it?

Gu Mian wasn't too concerned about whether there were ghosts. He walked over to the mobile phone that had fallen on the ground and said, "Let's find Lin Yue'er first."

Yuwen Hao shivered and asked, "But where do we find her?"

He didn't have much money and had only bought two mobile phones, giving one to Gu Mian and keeping the other for himself.

They had no way to contact Lin Yue'er, and the friend system couldn't be used inside the Dungeon. Finding someone in the Dungeon was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Qing Huan also said with a pale face, "If Lin Yue'er isn't here, where else could she be? Where could a ghost have taken her?"

"No," Gu Mian suddenly shook his head. "Lin Yue'er might still be here."

Upon hearing this, the other three were stunned for a moment, seeming not to understand Gu Mian's words. But then they reacted.

"You mean... Lin Yue'er might be in here..." Yuwen Hao said, shivering as he spoke.

The Under-the-bed Ghost was following Lin Yue'er, and they could naturally guess some of the ghost's methods of killing people.

Thinking of this, all three swallowed nervously and looked at the gap beneath the bed.

Was Lin Yue'er inside?

The gap under the bed was only seven or eight centimeters high, making it almost impossible to fit a person in. If someone were truly stuffed in there, it would be certain death, and their death would be incredibly gruesome.

"I'm going to lift the bed. Those with weak hearts should close their eyes first," Gu Mian gave a friendly warning.

The three people closed their eyes in unison.
