I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 58 The Ghost Blocking the Way

Chen Mu jumped out of the pool of blood, put on the shoes he had hidden beforehand, and then quickly ran in the opposite direction along the corridor.

She knew these tricks wouldn't be very effective; the mental hospital was full of surveillance cameras, and her conspicuous white hair couldn't be hidden. She would be found sooner or later.

Therefore, the most important thing is to be fast.

She lured everyone to the east staircase, while she escaped through the deserted west staircase. However, the other party seemed to have realized that this was not enough.

Click, click.

So, Chen Mu ran while using the key in his hand to open all the ward doors along the way.

Those severely ill patients who were classified as "red" in the disciplinary level were all released.

"Hehehe! They've finally freed me from under the Five Finger Mountain!"

"Oh? How many pages of Rostaff's diary have you collected yet?"

"Lu Yue Shiqi! I see you, don't run away—!"

In an instant, chaos erupted in the corridor. Some were talking to themselves, some were chatting as if they had met acquaintances, and some had even started fighting and grappling.

Chen Mu mingled among them; her petite frame proved useful, and she was almost invisible in the chaotic crowd.

She's rushing downstairs!

In fact, she understood that this plan was rushed and had many flaws. If she were more rational, she should have spent more time preparing, such as the structure of the entire mental hospital, the layout of other floors, and even the road conditions and environment around the mental hospital. All of these had to be carefully considered. However, Chen Mu did not have that much time, and she had to act hastily.

Seeing Xu Jinxuan's physical condition last night, Chen Mu immediately became alert, thinking that he could not stay here any longer, not knowing what else might happen.

If she takes the medication and returns to the real world the next day, then this insane body might be more than just a "solitary confinement cell".

Chen Mu saw an opportunity to take advantage of Xu Jinxuan, as this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance that would be lost if they were separated. So, he made a decisive decision and began to plan.

"Whether I can escape or not, my body already has official proof of mental illness, so things can't get any worse."

Chen Mu hid in a ward for a while, estimating the time. He figured things should be mostly out of control outside, and the caregivers were probably still dealing with the patients.

She avoided the initial impact, secretly slipped out, and ran wildly towards the door of light!

We can see the main entrance on the first floor. There are no guards right now, which is great. As long as we can get out!

"Mr. Chen."

However, one voice completely dampened her excitement.

Chen Mu immediately stopped in front of the gate, his face darkening.

She saw it; against the light, a figure stood there.

He was wearing a white coat, looked refined, wore glasses, and was a middle-aged man with a pen tucked into his breast pocket. It was none other than Dr. Wang.

Dr. Wang smiled and shook his head: "You've done enough. That's enough. Go back now."

"..."

Chen Mu remained silent, ignoring him, and looked outside, trying to see how many people were beside the other person and what equipment they were carrying.

However, it seemed that he was the only one outside the door; there were no other caregivers or security guards.

What's going on? Is he really that confident? Even if he thinks he can subdue a madman by himself, isn't he afraid of getting hurt?

Seeing the girl suddenly stop and hesitate, Dr. Wang smiled and said:

"Sigh, my only mistake was letting that woman share a room with you. I thought she was too sick to tell you anything."

"Tell what?"

Upon hearing Chen Mu's question, Dr. Wang paused slightly, frowning, "What? You know absolutely nothing?"

"What should I know?"

Chen Mu calmly countered with a question.

"Ha ha!"

Dr. Wang was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger. His previous expression crumbled, leaving only deep confusion: "Since you don't know anything, why did you run away?"

"I can run away whenever I want, do I need to ask you for permission?" Chen Mu replied matter-of-factly.

"He really is someone who doesn't play by the rules..."

Dr. Wang shook his head and sighed.

He seemed to have given up on his pretense, suddenly taking off his glasses and throwing them on the ground: "There's no way to stop it now that things have escalated to this point. Mr. Chen, Ms. Chen, I regret it. I regret that I should have sacrificed you before, that I shouldn't have been curious and locked you up. A pure and innocent girl is perfect material for a sacrifice. Fortunately, it's not too late now, is it?"

"Sacrifice...what?"

Chen Mu frowned; she sensed that something was amiss.

The atmosphere was so intense, it was like you could clearly sense that the boss in front of you was about to transform; it was extremely dangerous, and a sense of alarm crept in from the inside out.

"Of course, it's a sacrifice for... Lady [Witch]!!"

Dr. Wang shouted and stomped on his glasses, which then underwent a series of bizarre changes!

The man's body began to twist and swell violently, making sounds of tearing flesh. His white coat was instantly torn apart, turning into tattered strips of cloth hanging on his deformed limbs.

His head was tilted to one side at an extremely unnatural angle, the skin on his neck split open, flesh writhing, and another head actually emerged from it! Then, a third, a fourth... like tumors proliferating from flesh, several heads of varying sizes and distorted faces struggled to emerge from his shoulders, chest, and even armpits! Each head was inlaid with a different number of eyes, some scarlet as blood, some as pale as wax, some with pupils as long and narrow as snakes, all staring intently at Chen Mu, their eyes filled with inhuman greed and madness.

"Ugh... Hehe..."

More mouths opened on these heads, emitting chaotic, overlapping groans, roars, and incomprehensible babbling.

His body swelled rapidly, his skin stretched almost transparent, revealing the writhing, tangled blood vessels beneath. Then—

puff!puff!

Behind his enormous body, which was no longer human, two huge, pure white wings suddenly unfolded!

The feathers appeared soft and pure, but their edges shimmered with a metallic cold light. With a gentle flap, they brought a strange wind that mixed a fishy stench with a certain rotten sweet fragrance, causing Chen Mu to cover his mouth and nose.

Evil and holiness, twistedness and solemnity—these two extremely contradictory qualities are now grotesquely and terrifyingly fused together in the ever-expanding monster's body.

"Do you see that? Do you see that! I sacrificed you all to the Witch of Life, and this granted me unprecedented power!"

The mouths on all the heads opened and closed simultaneously, emitting a deafening, eerie cacophony of male, female, child, and old voices, the sound waves nearly wiping out the corridor's overhead lights.

"The power bestowed by the Witch! Sacrificing such a wondrous being as you, who is one with two, will surely allow me... to get closer to her! To become more perfect!"
