The atmosphere in the dark corridor was terribly oppressive.
Qin Manjiang glanced at the corridor opposite him. The light from Shen Hai's phone was still visible.
Shen Hai did not seem to have noticed anything strange.
Yet the tension in Qin Manjiang's heart kept mounting!
Even his heartbeat began racing uncontrollably.
Soon, he realized where it was coming from.
It was the [Doll]!
The [Doll], which had originally been on his shoulder before he put it back inside his clothes, was warning him!
No, he could not stay here!
Qin Manjiang quickened his pace. After checking the first room, he immediately went to the second, raised his phone, and swept its light across the room.
There was a figure in the bed here too. This was not the room.
Next, the third room.
Huh?
As the dim light from his screen shone through the observation window, he could see someone in the bed in the third elderly resident's room too!

A wrinkled face covered in age spots suddenly appeared in the observation window!
Qin Manjiang's heart lurched, and he immediately pulled back the hand holding his phone!

Bang!

Elderly faces appeared in all three of the other observation windows he had just shone his light through!
They made no sound, only banging against their doors intermittently, producing a constant series of bangs.

The two immediately rushed to meet in the central hall.
"Everyone on my side woke up."
"Same."
They spoke rapidly.
"Let's go. This isn't right!"
