The ghosts below were somewhat different from Wang Cui, the Female Ghost.
Their eyeballs were pitch-black, without any whites, as though they had been stained with ink.
They looked vicious and terrifying, and there were so many of them.
I had no desire to get tangled up with these things.
I grabbed Wang Cui's hand and continued running up the stairs.
We quickly reached the floor above.
Once again, the sign read "Fourth Floor."
But this time, we could hear movement on the other side of the fire door on this floor.
Listening carefully, it was the sound of a chicken clucking, "Cluck, cluck, cluck."
I looked back at the stairs. The ghosts behind us were closing in.
I stared at the fire door before me and reached out to pull it without hesitation.
The door was so heavy that the veins on my forehead bulged.
Seeing this, Wang Cui came over to help.
The two of us pulled back with all our strength.
At the same time, the walls of the stairwell writhed even more violently.
Like intestines, as if they were alive.
A low "Woo, woo, woo" growl rose from downstairs...
Those ghosts were already only a few meters away from us.
"Ah!"
I growled and threw all my strength into pulling the door.
Wang Cui was also straining desperately.
Meanwhile, the "cluck, cluck, cluck" from behind the fire door grew louder and louder.
It was as if it were answering us.
Finally, just as the ghosts were about to reach us, we managed to pull open a crack in the fire door.
On the other side stood a big rooster.
But the rooster's appearance made me break out in a cold sweat.
I realized that the rooster had no head.
It looked exactly like the big rooster
