Nightmare Assault

Standing in front of Room 808, the group held their breath. As Jiang Cheng raised his hand, Fatty moved. He wanted to stop him, but he refrained. The door to Room 808 opened. It wasn't locked.

The room was dark, like the sea at midnight. Fatty felt like he was sinking into it until someone pinched his arm. Fatty shivered and woke up. It was Banana Wolf who pulled him. The Doctor was gone. In his blurriness, he almost followed him.

There was no sound at all. The darkness didn't seem to permit life. Without experiencing it in person, no one could understand how torturous silence could be. Perhaps the Doctor was facing death and needed people to save him.

"We can't do this." Fatty turned to Banana Wolf and said rapidly, "Wait here. I'll go help him."

Unlike Fatty, Banana Wolf stared at the door contemplatively. He was about to say something when the sound of friction came from the corridor. It sounded like an old door being opened. They turned to the sound. It was a room at the end of the corridor. As the door opened, the light showered out. Dust danced in the air.

"It's you!" When they saw the person, Fatty and Banana Wolf shook.

Wei Jingting narrowed his eyes. He stood at the door and glanced at them. "Long time no see."

The thing that chilled Fatty's heart was Wei Jingting's appearance. One of his arms was broken and hung beside him weakly. His body was covered in wounds. There was a ghastly scar on his face. If it were slightly to the right, he would have lost his right eye. However, Wei Jingting appeared unaffected. He rubbed his face because blood was still leaking from the wound on his forehead.

"It looks like the man has entered." Wei Jingting smiled. "Why aren't you in there? Are you waiting for us?"

Banana Wolf frowned. It sounded like Wei Jingting wasn't alone. But… who was the other person?

"This is what friends should be like!" Wei Jingting praised and turned around. "Wait a minute. We have one more person who wants to join us." Then, Fatty watched Wei Jingting drag someone out of the door. It was… Wan Xiaoning. By then, she was not moving. She left a bloody trail on the ground. Then, Wei Jingting kicked her into the wall. "Oops. That was ungentlemanly of me." He grinned and smiled apologetically, "But that was her fault for being disobedient.

"You… wouldn't want to end up like her, right?" Even though Wei Jingting looked injured, Fatty and Banana Wolf had a feeling that they wouldn't be his match.

"What do you want?" Fatty acted confident. He needed to buy time for the Doctor.

However, when Wei Jingting glanced at him, Fatty felt deflated. "What do I want?" He grinned. His lips twitched. He looked terrifying. "I need to move out of the way. I want to go in. Hao Shuai is probably dead. I'll bring his body out for you."

"You…"

"Mr. Wei," Banana Wolf uttered, "We're all chosen to complete this mission. We have the same goal. There's no need to fight among ourselves. If we do this, we'll all die here." He glanced at Wan Xiaoning. The meaning was clear. "After the door appears, I'll convince Hao Shuai to let you leave first." He looked at the man and pleaded. "What do you think?"

Wei Jingting pretended to think. Then, he shook his head. "It sounds nice, but…" He looked at them and chuckled. "It's not enough."

"Not enough?" Fatty was angry. "What more do you want?"

Wei Jingting scratched his chin. A few seconds later, he asked carefully, "How about… You two are going to kill each other. I'll leave on my own. How about that?"

…

The sky rained. Jiang Cheng walked down the street alone. He was the only one without an umbrella. The rain slid down his cheeks and dripped to the ground. He didn't think this would be behind the door.

He looked up at a small office building. There were many signs. Jiang Cheng scanned them quickly. Most of them were online celebrity agencies or model agencies. None of them sounded official.

Soon, a blue racecar came over. The engine growled loudly. It became louder as it neared the office. It was like the driver was afraid people didn't know he was coming. The car was parked before the company. A man who was dressed in an exaggerated manner got down. He flung the car key.

He stood beside the car before slowly walking to the passenger's seat. He opened it and took out a bag from the leather chair. He purposely put it under his armpit. Then, he walked towards the building.

Jiang Cheng was confused. It reminded him of Pi Wan when he first met with the rich lady. The man paused for a smoke break. He messed with the bang on his forehead. Honestly, he was not bad-looking. His actions made him look cheap.

His wolfish eyes scanned the women who walked through the place. About five minutes later, he answered a call. Then, he tossed away the cigarette and entered the company.

When he returned, he had a beauty by his side. They chatted happily, but from Jiang Cheng's perspective, they each had their ulterior motive.

By then, he figured out their identities. They were Lee Maoshen and Yu Youwei.

His ears trembled. It sounded weird. Something ripped and cracked.

He turned to the sound. It was an abandoned bus stop about twenty metres away.

Under the old green awning stood a lonely figure.

The woman, with average looks and figure, was another soul without an umbrella in the rainy city.
