All the evils dodge, wait for me to accept this demon king!

Chapter 117 Counting Stairs

"Go to the best place and wait until night falls." Just as Li Hao and others were about to leave the ward, Cang Yan's voice sounded again.

Hu Yu wanted to ask why, but was stopped by Li Hao with his eyes.

Li Hao met Shang Cangyan's eyes for two seconds and then nodded: "Okay, listen to you."

At night, the atmosphere of the whole hospital was obviously much more gloomy than during the day, and some places could even be said to be quiet and eerie.

For example, the morgue.

In the long corridor, except for Li Hao and his party and the two hospital staff who led the way, no one else could be seen.

The hospital staff told them that Lu Renyou's body was on the third basement floor, and advised them to take the elevator instead of the stairs.

"Why?" Hu Yu asked.

The staff was stunned for a moment before answering: "Taking the elevator saves time compared to taking the stairs, and one of the lights on the stairs has broken in the past two days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to walk."

Hu Yu: "It's okay, we have a flashlight."

"Master, this kid has a relatively weak brain, so you don't need to talk to him." Xuan Minghua denied Hu Yu's meaning on the spot, and smiled at the staff, "Listen to you, we will take the elevator down."

Naturally, Hu Yu was not happy to be told that he was brainless in public, but he didn't dare to go back directly.

Not to mention that this woman is a terrifying existence in itself, not to mention that there is an even more terrifying existence beside her, just his Li Dui... Ahem, no matter how clever he is, he can see Li Dui's love for him. The little thought of this woman.

It's just a pity that Luohua is intentional and flowing water is ruthless.

Another dark-skinned police officer who was following behind Li Hao muttered softly, "Don't say the lights are broken, even if the searchlights are installed, I won't leave if you tell me to leave at this time."

When Hu Yu heard this, he vented his unhappiness to the other party, "Hey, did you do something wrong?"

The dark-skinned police officer rolled his eyes at him, "Have you heard of the legend about counting stairs? No, you are the most suitable person."

Hu Yu frowned: "What stairs are you counting?"

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xuan Minghua took the initiative to answer: "The legend of counting the stairs he said really meant that you should not count the stairs at night, because if one day you find that there are fewer stairs when you go upstairs If it is the first step, then one day in the near future, you will be arrested to replace the missing step. The whole idea is a bit like Wan Xiliang's filling the Great Wall back then, except that instead of filling the Great Wall, it is filled with cheap stairs."

"Damn it! There's another saying, how come no one has told me about it?!" Hu Yu almost jumped up on the spot.

His overreaction caused Li Dui and the others to change their expressions. After a while, the dark-skinned policeman asked, "Hey, don't you really have the habit of counting the stairs at night?"

"..." Hu Yu nodded with a pale face, then shook his head again, and finally said falteringly: "I, when I was in the police academy, I used to go back to the dormitory at night after the library closed. , Because I was bored, I would deliberately count some stairs or handrails. I have this habit because I saw him ask Watson when I watched Sherlock Holmes before. I also want to work in criminal investigation, so it is very necessary to be like him, always pay attention to the small details that others around me will not notice..."

Who would have thought that there would be such a scary legend!
In the past, he would think that this legend was just absurd nonsense, but since getting to know Xuan Minghua, he has a new understanding of ghosts and gods.

Xuan Minghua looked at him quite speechlessly, then sighed softly, and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, as long as you don't go to the place where you counted the stairs before, you will be fine. Even if you have to go someday because of something If you don't count them deliberately, it's fine. But..."

"But what?" Hu Yu asked.

Xuan Minghua: "But in fact, out of ten people who go back to the old way, nine can't help but count again. Because there will be something in the dark that encourages them to count."

Hu Yu: "..." He has decided that he will never return to the police academy if he is killed in this life!
The group continued to follow the hospital staff to the elevator. Standing in front of the elevator door, Xuan Minghua secretly glanced at the staff member standing in front of him who proposed to take the elevator instead of the stairs.

His eyes sank slightly, then he coughed lightly, and deliberately said to Hu Yu and the dark-skinned policeman in a deep voice: "Apart from the legend of counting the stairs, have you heard another story about taking the elevator? This story comes to mind because I think it fits well with the scene we're in now."

The dark-skinned police officer nodded with interest.

Xuan Minghua glanced at the back of the staff standing in front of him, smiled slightly at the policeman, and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when we get into the elevator."

After a while, the elevator came down, and a group of people walked in.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Xuan Minghua curled his lips slightly under the stare of the staff member, and said to Hu Yu and the dark-skinned policeman in a slightly cold tone: "The story is like this: One night, someone A doctor was about to go home after the night shift. He remembered hearing from his colleagues that one of the lights on the stairs was broken during the day, so he decided to take the elevator downstairs. After the elevator door opened, there was a very beautiful female nurse inside. The doctor closed the elevator and pressed the button. The button on the first floor. But when the elevator reached the first floor, the door did not open, but went directly to the third basement floor, and then the door opened. The doctor saw a little girl standing outside the door who seemed to want to come in, but the little girl As soon as he lifted his foot, the doctor hurriedly closed the elevator door. Seeing this, the female nurse next to him asked why the little girl was not allowed in. The doctor replied while wiping cold sweat that the third floor underground It is the mortuary of this hospital, according to regulations, the hospital will tie a red ribbon on the right hand of all the dead, and the little girl just happened to have it on her right hand, so she was not allowed to enter."

Speaking of this, Xuan Minghua stopped deliberately, then turned around and smiled at the staff member who proposed to take the elevator under the puzzled eyes of Hu Yu and others, and asked: "This beautiful young lady, do you know this story?" What's next?"

The staff member didn't answer, but stared at her even more coldly.

"What happened next, are you telling me?" The dark-skinned police officer didn't notice what was wrong with the female staff member, and just kept urging Xuan Minghua to say more.

Xuan Minghua also stared at the female staff member politely, and said slowly: "The ending of this story is that after the beautiful female nurse heard the hospital's explanation, she gave a sinister smile, then stretched out her right hand and swung her wrist Lifted it up a little bit, and asked the doctor at the same time, 'Is it a red ribbon like this?' Huh?"

The dark-skinned policeman let out a sigh, then smacked his mouth in disappointment, "It's just an old-fashioned ghost story, I thought..."

Xuan Minghua added: "That red ribbon should be similar to the one on this beautiful young lady's right hand."
