Chapter 16 What Sound?

"What's that sound?" Huai Yi reacted strongly.

The fatty's words caused everyone to feel apprehensive.

In this kind of environment, the slightest disturbance could shatter the last bit of security left in their hearts.

After listening intently for a few seconds, Zhou Tong turned her head and looked at the fatty with a puzzled expression. "What did you hear?"

"Me neither." Feng Jie raised his head, his tone as concise as the man himself.

Lin Muyun also shook his head, indicating that he hadn't heard anything either.

To be honest, Jiang Cheng hadn't heard any strange noises either, but because it was the fatty who had heard it, Jiang Cheng still showed due caution: "Is the sound still there?" he asked softly.

The fatty looked a little irritated. That sound gave him an indescribable feeling. "It's still there. The sound is moving, and it's moving fast."

"What kind of sound is it? Can you tell?" Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice.

Their footsteps hadn't stopped, but after the fatty said he heard the sound, they had become even quieter.

Everyone huddled together, and their speed inevitably slowed down.

"I don't know." The fatty's tone became hurried. "The sound is chaotic, and I can't tell what's making it, but it's moving, and it's not far from us now."

"No, no, it's... it's nearby!"

The fatty's words exploded like a bombshell in the group. The frightening part was not only that the eerie sound was approaching, but more importantly, why could only the fatty hear the sound and sense something approaching, while the others couldn't?

Zhou Tong pursed her lips and asked softly in a tentative tone, "Could it be... could it be that you did something to be targeted by the killer again?"

Huai Yi immediately bristled at the suggestion, glaring at her and asking, "What, are you trying to ditch us after we've served our purpose?"

"Zhou Tong doesn't mean that. We won't forget your kindness in coming to rescue us," Feng Jie said. "We don't want anything to happen to the Fu Gui brothers either."

"Stop moving, let's stop here." Jiang Cheng's face looked unwell.

If they couldn't figure out what was causing the sound, they might run into danger without even realizing it.

Once everyone had stopped, Jiang Cheng turned to the fatty and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Fatty, don't worry. Now listen for the sound and pinpoint its location."

The fatty seemed like a different person, his face unusually pale as he clutched his head. "The sound... the sound is chaotic, my head, it hurts so much, like countless threads are tangled together..."

Jiang Cheng quickly reached out, pressing his thumb and middle finger precisely on the fatty's temples, then slowly applied pressure. "Close your eyes, calm your mind, and feel it again. You don't need to see with your eyes, just point with your finger."

After Jiang Cheng's ministrations, everyone noticed that the fatty's previously troubled expression gradually normalized. He slowly reached out his hand, then pointed in one direction, then moved it horizontally little by little.

Watching the direction of the fatty's finger, Zhou Tong's face couldn't help but stiffen. The other party's movement speed was incredibly fast.

Until... the fatty's finger stopped.

Pointing directly at the fire exit in front of them.

The fire exit was less than 3 meters away from them. The door was closed. If the fatty hadn't delayed them, they would have already opened it.

"Doctor." The fatty's eyes were still closed, and his voice was tinged with doubt. "The sound stopped, right where my finger is."

After the fatty finished speaking, he didn't hear anyone respond for a few seconds.

"Doctor?" He frowned.

Just as he was feeling uneasy and wanted to open his eyes to take a look, Jiang Cheng's voice sounded. "I'm here." His tone was flat and cold. "Don't open your eyes yet. Are you sure the sound stopped at the location of your finger?"

Jiang Cheng stared at the door in front of him, as if confronting a demon, but there were no flaws in his voice, at least the fatty couldn't detect any.

"I... I think so," the fatty swallowed hard as he replied.

Under the prolonged pressure, his nerves were also stretched tight, making him unable to be certain of his judgment.

"Okay." Jiang Cheng said calmly, "You can open your eyes now."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's permission, the fatty felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart, but when he opened his eyes, he was shocked by the scene before him.

Everyone was looking in the direction of his finger, and there, was a fire exit, leading to the corridor outside.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. The vague feeling in his mind receded like the tide, replaced by a wave of fear.

The thing making the sound was behind this door!

Separated from them by only a door!

"Mr. Jiang, let's... let's change routes, quickly, quickly!" Zhou Tong's voice was already trembling uncontrollably.

This was a very normal idea. Everyone subconsciously retreated, ready to flee at any moment, but there was one person who didn't move.

What was even more awkward was that if he didn't move, then no one could leave today.

"Mr. Jiang?" Feng Jie asked in confusion, looking at his profile.

Slowly shaking his head, Jiang Cheng said in a low and helpless voice, "It's useless, the other party is too fast. There's still some distance to the remaining route. No matter what, we can't avoid it."

"Even if we go downstairs now, we'll be blocked by this thing, or even ambushed from behind," Jiang Cheng continued, "That would be even worse."

Zhou Tong's beautiful eyes widened. "You don't mean to..."

"We're going to open the door," Jiang Cheng said, "While we still have the initiative."

Perhaps feeling that he was being too direct, he briefly explained, "Only the fatty can sense the other party's location here, but you've all seen that the fatty's condition is very bad. Once his perception ability fails, we'll completely lose track of this thing, and at that time, we'll be even more passive."

Everyone understood the principle of 'hesitation leads to trouble', but actually doing it still required enough courage.

Staring at the door that likely had a ghost hiding behind it, everyone's hearts trembled.

This was much more exciting than opening a blind box.

"I'm holding the lamp, so it's inconvenient for me to open the door. Who will go?" Jiang Cheng asked very naturally.

"I'll go." Feng Jie took the initiative to step forward.

Yuan Xiaotian wanted to say something, but Feng Jie interrupted him, "Xiaotian, your task is to keep Meng Yao's name tag safe. Don't worry about me."

He also knew that time was of the essence, so he no longer hesitated. Under the light of the lamp, the group slowly began to move towards the door.
