The Ninth Secret Bureau

Hearing this, Fatty Ho pondered the idea carefully before nodding in agreement. If they could reduce the possible number of casualties then that’s the best. He’s here for the key, not to go on an extermination mission of the paranormal.

“Chief…. Is that going to be alright?” Zhang Hai interrupted with a serious case of doubt.

Understanding his subordinate’s worry, the fatty smiles and nodded to confirm. He didn’t want to spend time arguing nor explaining.

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here then no spirit can touch your chief. He just needs to keep within twenty meters of myself.” Idle took the initiative to give Zhang Hai a relief pill.

It has to be said, his words are no exaggeration. The confidence came from within, and the others definitely felt this like a veil of calming magic had been cast over them.

“Let’s go inside now, shall we?” After saying this, he went ahead to cross the threshold of the burned black bricks and headed for the entranceway.

“Chief, is he reliable?” Zhang Hai came back to his senses and asked again.

The fatty sighed and made a helpless gesture with his hands. “Who knows, I hope he’s a capable man, otherwise….”

Suddenly, a thunderous boom rocked the sky from out of nowhere and caused the guy to freeze for a split second.

“Chief, what’s wrong?” Zhang Hai was the first to notice his superior’s change in behavior and grew more concerned.

Taking a cigarette from his picket out of reflex, Fatty Ho lights it up before answering: “It’s going to rain.”

“Rain?” Zhang Hai doesn’t understand the meaning behind the word.

The fatty knew explaining wouldn’t help right now and simply shook his head before giving chase.

“It’s raining, you think it’s a good idea to head inside now?” He asked with a perplexed and troubled face after catching up.

According to the scientific theory of the bureau, the night was the time of day where there was a sharp increase of negative particles in the air, and rain was a natural occurrence that encouraged said phenomenon. When merged together with the deaths of this hospital, it’s likely the spirits inside would mutate and earn the ability to hurt or kill people!

“Follow my instructions and nothing will happen.” Idle calmly reassures the fatty without turning his head, that voice calm as always.

But the next second, he abruptly froze and raised a hand to signal a halt.

“What’s the matter?” Fatty Ho asks and raises a flashlight towards the front corridor due to reflex.

And that was a mistake…. A terrible one at that. Due to this casual flash, he saw something so frightening that he nearly lost his wits.

The corridor – which was supposed to be empty due to the fire – was full of people right now. Each had their backs facing the aisle and their faces turned against the wall as if repenting a crime. They also kept banging their forehead against the wall and made a faint noise at first, but gradually, it got louder and louder.

“Dun…. Dun…. Dun….”
