"Get out of the way! Don't block my path!" Wang Ziting shouted angrily, pushing Zhao Hao, who was frozen in place, aside and running forward.
As for Fang Xiu, he had already positioned himself against the wall the moment he saw everyone fleeing, to avoid being caught in the chaos.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The colleagues who had once sat in the office for hours now dashed past Fang Xiu like athletes, their footsteps echoing like the wind.
Poor Zhao Hao was knocked over several times and fell to the ground.
"Wait... wait for me! Wang Shao! Don't leave me behind!" Li Feifei had already gotten up from the ground, screaming in terror. Her once-beautiful face was now twisted with fear, and her makeup was smudged by tears.
She was currently the last one, not only because she had been pushed over but also because she was wearing high heels, sky-high ones.
Of course, it might also be related to the fact that she had done some physically demanding activities earlier.
It's worth noting that she wasn't just wearing sky-high heels; she was also wearing a bodycon skirt. The skirt was tight, form-fitting, and sexy, but its only drawback was that it wasn't suitable for running. Anyone with experience knows that once you start running, the skirt inevitably rides up...
"Ah!" Li Feifei hadn't even taken a few steps before she let out a pained cry and fell to the ground.
Her fair, slender ankles were swollen and red.
It turned out that running in high heels was impossible and easily led to sprained ankles.
Li Feifei, who had fallen, couldn't bear the burning pain in her ankles and struggled to get up, but the next moment, her vision went black.
She saw countless thick, black strands of hair, resembling small snakes, blocking her view.
It was the female doctor's hair hanging down.
Li Feifei's body trembled, and her heart stopped for a moment. She instinctively looked up and saw a pale face staring back at her, with eyes that were nothing but whites, fixated on her.
She froze, as if all her strength had been drained from her body, unable to move at all.
It wasn't until the female doctor's hair fell and struck Li Feifei's face that the cold, slippery sensation jolted her awake.
"Ah!"
Li Feifei let out a piercing scream, crawling forward frantically like a reptile. The smooth, delicate knees on the cement floor were scraped raw, but she didn't feel a thing, focused only on escaping.
"Help... help me!" She called out to Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao for help.
They were the only two left in the corridor; the others had already run to the end of the corridor and turned the corner, out of sight.
"I don't want to…"
Before Li Feifei could finish her sentence, a silver blade flashed by.
Her vision began to rise, spin, and then fall.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed.
That was the sound of Li Feifei's head hitting the ground.
The female surgeon's scalpel was extremely sharp, and her limbs, over two meters long, gave her a wide range of attack.
With a single swing of her hand, the scalpel had completed the decapitation.
It happened too quickly for Li Feifei's body to react; she remained in a kneeling, crawling position. The clean, smooth incision at her broken, pale neck was a vivid red, with blood gushing out like a fountain.
Some of the blood even splashed onto Zhao Hao's body, but Fang Xiu was behind him, so he wasn't affected.
Zhao Hao, who had finally calmed down after being startled, was once again terrified. This terrifying and bloody scene didn't scare him into urinating, but that was only because he had already urinated earlier.
The female doctor who had killed Li Feifei did not stop there but continued to wield the scalpel, beginning to dismember the body.
She dismembered the body with great care, her movements precise and meticulous. Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao stood by, but she did not even glance at them.
After dismembering the body, the female doctor attacked like a starving tiger, beginning to eat.
Upon witnessing this scene, Fang Xiu had already formed a hypothesis.
He had roughly deduced the female doctor's murder pattern: killing nearby targets, and only one person at a time.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for the female doctor to ignore him and Zhao Hao.
The murder method involved dismembering the body with a scalpel and then consuming it.
The reason for this murder pattern likely stemmed from the female doctor's profession before her death.
Holding a surgical knife with precise dismemberment techniques, the female doctor must have performed numerous surgeries in a psychiatric hospital during her lifetime.
In general, doctors perform surgeries on one patient at a time. It is almost impossible for a doctor to hold two surgical knives, working with both hands simultaneously, to perform surgeries on two patients at the same time.
This is likely why the female doctor only kills one person at a time and uses a surgical knife for dismemberment—she is meticulous, responsible, and focused.
As for eating people, it was likely an instinctive response after becoming a monster.
After understanding the pattern of the killings, Fang Xiu approached the female doctor and stood beside her.
The scene was gruesome, but Fang Xiu remained unfazed. He had to thank his wife for this; he had experienced such scenes many times before, though he had been the one being eaten.
Suddenly, Fang Xiu clenched his fist and struck the female doctor with all his might.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed.
Fang Xiu withdrew his fist, and droplets of blood trickled down his hand.
He furrowed his brow slightly, glancing at his injured fist before looking at the female physician's unharmed cheek.
She continued to eat "gracefully," seemingly undisturbed by Fang Xiu's rude outburst.
Fang Xiu felt as though his punch had struck steel, and it was this punch that made him realize the gap between himself and the female physician.
It seemed that all the bizarre phenomena he had encountered so far possessed a destructive power that humans were completely unable to resist.
Humans were as weak as ants in the face of the bizarre.
Perhaps only by becoming a Spirit Tamer could this situation be changed.
At that moment, a trembling voice sounded behind Fang Xiu.
"Xiu... Xiu Ge, let's run!"
It was Zhao Hao.
Clearly, Zhao Hao had recovered from his extreme fear. Unlike his colleagues, who had fled immediately, he had decided to call out to Fang Xiu.
But Fang Xiu did not run. Instead, he said calmly, " This strange creature only eats one person at a time, which means that when it's feeding, it's the safest time."
"But... but it looks like it's almost finished eating!"
"Li Feifei has a great figure; she's not the skinny type. Although her legs look thin, the parts that should have meat are quite substantial. So based on her meat quantity, it should last at least three minutes, maybe even four. There's no rush."
Fang Xiu spoke these chilling words in a calm tone.
Zhao Hao, who had been tense to the extreme, suddenly vomited upon hearing the words "body mass."
There were vegetable leaves, instant noodles, wide noodles, and enoki mushrooms... clearly, dinner had been spicy hot pot.
"As Wang Ziting mentioned earlier, to become a Spirit Tamer, one must allow the strange power to corrupt their mind. And within the entire Strange Realm, the place with the densest power is naturally by the Strange One's side. So I plan to stay a little longer. If you're afraid, you can leave first."
After saying that, Fang Xiu no longer paid attention to Zhao Hao but reached out to touch the female physician's legs, which were over two meters long and bent like a spider's.
He didn't know how to let the strange power corrupt his mind, but he figured physical contact would speed things up.
The sensation was extremely cold, like touching a corpse.
