Chapter 117: Counting the Stairs

"We need to go to the best place to wait until nightfall." 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 Li Hao took the lead and stopped him with his eyes.

Li Hao looked at Shang Cang Yan for two seconds and nodded: "Okay, listen to you."

After entering the night, the atmosphere in the entire hospital was obviously much gloomy than during the day, and some places could even be said to be quiet and a bit creepy.

For example, a morgue.

In the long corridor, no one was seen except Li Hao and his party and two hospital staff leading the way.

The staff of the hospital told them that Lu Renyou's body was on the third floor underground, and suggested that they take the elevator and not take the stairs.

"Why?" Hu Yu asked.

The staff was stunned for a moment before answering: "Take an elevator to save time than taking a stairs. Moreover, one of the stair lights has broken in the past two days. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk."

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

"Master, this guy is smart, you don't have to say much to him." Xuan Ming-hwan denied Hu Yu's intention on the spot and smiled at the staff, "Listen to you, let's take the elevator."

Hu Yu was naturally unhappy when he was told about his brain in public, but he didn't dare to argue directly.

Not to mention that this woman is a terrible existence, not to mention that there is a more terrible existence around her, just his teammate Li... ahem, even if he is very smart, he can see what Team Li thinks about this woman.

It’s just a pity that the fallen flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless.

Another dark-skinned policeman following Li Hao whispered: "Don't say that the light is broken, even if you install a searchlight, I won't leave even if you ask me to leave at this time."

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

The dark-skinned policeman gave him a blank look, "Have you heard of the legend of counting stairs? I didn't say that people like you are the most suitable."

Hu Yu frowned: "What stairs are counting?"

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xuan Minghua took the initiative to answer the conversation: "What he said about counting stairs is that he should not count stairs at night, because if one day you find that the stairs are one step away when you go upstairs, then one day soon, you will be caught to replace the lost stairs. The whole idea is a bit like Wan Xiliang's filling of the Great Wall, but it is not filling the Great Wall, but cheap stairs."

"Late, trough! There is also this statement. Why hasn't anyone told me usually?!" Hu Yu almost jumped on the spot.

His excessive reaction caused Captain Li and others to change their faces. After a while, the dark-skinned policeman asked, "Hey, you really have the habit of counting stairs at night, right?"

"..." Hu Yu nodded slightly with a pale face, then shook his head, and finally he said hesitantly: "I, when I was at the police academy, I often went back to the dormitory after the library was closed at night, because I was bored, I would count some stairs or railings, etc. I had this habit because when I saw Sherlock Holmes, I saw him ask Watson if there were a total of several steps in the stairs at home. I thought that I would also be in the criminal investigation industry in the future, so it is very necessary to be like him, pay attention to the tiny details that others around me would not pay attention to..."

Who would have thought that there would be such a creepy legend?

If it were the past, he would have thought that this legend was just absurd nonsense, but since he met Xuan Mingfu, he had a new understanding of the saying of ghosts and gods.

Xuan Minghua looked at him speechlessly, then sighed and comforted: "Don't care too much, as long as you don't go to the place where you counted the stairs before in the future, it will be fine. Even if you have to leave because of something one day, it will be fine if you don't count it deliberately. But..."

"But what?" Hu Yu asked.

Xuan Mingfu: "But in fact, nine of the ten people who walk the old path again will not help counting again. Because there will be something in the dark to encourage them to count."

Hu Yu: "..." He decided that he would never return to the police academy in his life!

The group continued to follow the hospital staff to the location of the elevator. Standing in front of the elevator door, Xuan Minghua secretly swept the staff standing in front of him who asked not to take the elevator without taking the stairs.

His eyes sank slightly, then he coughed lightly, and deliberately said to Hu Yu and the dark-skinned policeman in a very heavy voice: "In addition to the legend of counting stairs, have you heard another story about taking an elevator? I think of this story because I think it is very consistent with the scene we are in now."

The dark-skinned policeman nodded with interest.

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

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

As soon as the elevator door was closed, Xuan Mingxian glanced at the staff member Mumu and said to Hu Yu and the dark-skinned police officer with a slightly cold tone: "The story is this: One night, a doctor got off night shift and was about to go home. I remembered that during the day, I heard a colleague say that a light on the stairs broke, 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 on the first floor. However, when the elevator arrived at the first floor, the door did not open, but was straight.

He lowered to the third floor underground, and then the door opened. The doctor saw a little girl standing outside the door, as if she wanted to come in, but as soon as the little girl raised her foot, the doctor hurriedly closed the elevator door. Seeing this, the female nurse beside him asked why she would not let the little girl come in. The doctor replied while wiping cold sweat, the third floor underground was the morgue of this hospital. According to regulations, the hospital would tie a red ribbon on the right hand of all dead people, and the little girl's right hand just now happened to be on the right hand, so she would not let her come in."

Speaking of this, Xuan Mingxian deliberately stopped, then turned around in confusion eyes of Hu Yu and others and smiled at the staff member who asked to take the elevator, and asked, "This beautiful young lady, do you know what the story will be like next?"

The staff member did not answer, but looked at her with a colder look.

"What happened next, do you mean?" The dark-skinned police officer did not notice something wrong with the female staff member, and just kept urging Xuan Minghua to explain the following.

Xuan Minghun also stared at the female staff member with courtesy and said slowly: "The ending of this story is that the beautiful female nurse smiled sinisterly after hearing the hospital's explanation, then stretched out her right hand and raised her wrist slightly. At the same time, she asked the doctor, 'Is it such a red ribbon?'?"

The dark-skinned policeman whined lightly, then slammed his mouth in a bit disappointed manner, "It's just an old ghost story, I thought..."

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