《Xianshi Inn (A contemporary Xianxia novel)》Chapter 85

"Hey Kevin, what do the viewers say? What do they feel about the collab so far?” on the other side, which is the West Wing of the Clearwater Municipal Hospital, Lester asked via the handheld radio while Brian was handling the Camera: "How many live viewers do we have now?”
"It’s… not much.” Kevin responded with a bit of hesitation: "They kept asking for more - they said you guys have been jumping and screaming too much without any real scares.”
"Got it, Kevin.” Lester said: "Sounded like they want us to go in deeper? We’re actually planning on that soon.”
"Branston’s group already made it to the third floor, maybe you can try going there as well. Looks like things are more creepy there.”
"The third floor? Isn’t it where the mass poisoning happened? But that’s in the North Wing right?”
"Yes, but some of the viewers sent some pretty interesting stories.” Kevin’s voice was shaking like he was trying to hold back laughter or enthusiasm: "They said that there were some kinda sketchy things going on in some of the rooms - they are - they were not regular hospital rooms for patients.”
"Interesting. Let’s go to the third floor then!” Lester hung up the radio and tapped Brian on the shoulder from behind: "Hey Brian, let’s head to the third floor. The viewers want more action!”
Jenny squirmed, hesitated for a while and said: "Hey guys? I am feeling really uncomfortable on this floor already, I don’t think going up to the third floor is a good idea...”
"Don’t worry Jenny, we’d be fine.” Ricky patted Jenny on the shoulder: "This is gonna be fun and epic! I wonder how this stream will blow up when we get the footage!”

"But...”
"Let’s go! Quick! Catch up!” Brian spoke loudly and led the group to a staircase, causing the formation of the group to change and loosen for a bit, and in the brief moment where Jenny was left behind because she was not as quick to approach the staircase as the others, her eyes glanced through one of the broken windows on her right side, and she saw someone with a bald head, long neck, slim body in patient gown and a pale face behind her. She tried to say anything, she could not utter a word.

"Alright, thanks, Evelyn.” Jason hung up the radio, then immediately completely shut it off: "We need to leave, now. And Branston, stop the camera, I doubt you’re even streaming.”
"Wait, why? And what was that?” Branston was not sure why Jason had such a strong reaction: "We still need to check out the sound, right? What’s wrong?”
"My friend’s name is Caroline, and I did not ask Evelyn to tell her to come find me when she comes.” Jason took out his wooden pen and some Demon Suppression Sigils from the backpack: "We need to go, we need to get you out of the premise and I will come back to get the other group.”
"Wait, what?” Branston seemed to have trouble grasping what Jason said.
"The person on the radio, it’s not Kevin! OH MY GOD! Are you fucking KIDDING me Branston!” Adam almost threw his notebook and flashlight on the ground: "We need to go! This place is not right!”
"No… We should not...” Tim was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke with a low and slurred voice: "We… should… not… leave...”
Jason turned to Tim and saw that his head was down and his arms were drooping in front of him, then all of a sudden, he violently raised his head up and faced the ceiling, with his eyes and mouth wide open and started running towards the door of the room.

"Come back!” Jason was already on high alert, so he leapt forward in Tim’s direction, grabbed Tim by his collar and forcefully pulled him back. His pull was so forceful that he sort of ripped Tim’s shirt and almost slammed him onto the ground.
“Let… go of me!” Tim struggled and his speech was still weirdly slurring, the veins on his forehead were popping out and throbbing, his eyes were bulging and the corners of his mouth were foaming: “Let go!”
“Who are you!? Get out of my friend’s body.” Jason stared at Tim’s eyes and with one hand over his neck to hold him down, Tim’s hand began flailing about and he even tried to scratch Jason’s face and arm. But hard as he tried, he was only able to leave some white marks on Jason’s skin, and couldn’t even make Jason bleed.
“Jason? What is happening right now?” Branston sounded like he was about to freak out: “What are you doing?”
“Exorcizing.” Jason gave a very simple answer, then started chanting a spell in mandarin, taught to him by Jianmen, with one hand over Time’s neck and one hand over Tim’s mouth: “By the laws of Heaven and Earth, all the filth and corruption shall not hide before me. The power of the Will and spirits, heed my call!”
As Jason’s Xuanli and power of mind and will flowed through his arm, palm and fingers and locked onto something within Tim’s body like a claw made of energy, he felt that something just popped out of Tim’s mouth into his palm. The bizarre wet and hairy feeling did not even make him flinch - with a grab and pull, Jason removed it from Tim’s mouth, leaving his friend coughing and retching while rolling on the ground.
“What the fuck!?” “What, the, fuck!?” as Jason took a closer look at what he pulled from Tim’s mouth, Adam and Branston also had a chance to check it out. But the sight of it immediately made them jump and back off from Jason.
Jason couldn’t blame them, for he also saw what he had in his hand, and he also heard the ugly cry it made: it was a grotesque looking small human head covered in blood, with one eye closed and one eye widely open and staring at him, and a mouth that was full of sharp and malformed teeth. Under the head there was no neck, but a floppy and torn cord.
The head cried and tried to bite Jason’s fingers, but Jason’s spell seemed to have not only bound and captured, but also gravely weakened it. Before Jason could think of what to do with it, the head crumbled from the inside and melted into pools of sticky goo and pus with a horrible stench.
“What the fuck was that?” the coughing and retching filled Tim’s eyes with tears, but he still saw what happened as he stood up, and his trembling voice showed how shocked and horrified he was.
Jason was just about to answer, but he immediately turned around as he sensed something else was standing behind him.
It was a nurse, with the left half of her body and face terribly burnt and her throat slit, standing at the door, blocking their exit.

Nobody's Way
Foreign Thorn: Book 1 For eight centuries, the people of Isla have wanted for nothing. The Creator, Maere, uses Her power not only to keep them healthy and fed, but also to map the direction of each person's future Path - their vocation, role in society, and even the partner they'll spend their life with. In a world where infighting once threatened the very survival of humankind, the old texts say that Maere personally stepped in to help guide Her creations to harmony. All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path. The Creator has chosen to favour some towns, but not others, leading to anarchy and unrest in the east, and fierce distrust between the neighbours who enjoy Her protection and those who don't. After many nights of disturbing premonitions, visions of a face uncannily familiar to her, and a voice beckoning her to "Homeland," Jian decides she needs to find answers for herself. She hires Madrigal, a surly young traveller hailing from an "unblessed" village, to take her to the southern lands. The swordsman is on the run from something, or someone, but Jian has no choice but to trust him. When the two leave the safety of the familiar and meet Quinn, a mysterious boy who seems to know more about Jian than she does about herself, it becomes clear that there are forces besides the old magics, forces completely unknown to the people of Isla, in play. Madrigal and Jian aren't sure if Quinn can be trusted, but they're certain he knows more than he's letting on...

Grim Beginnings
For most, ghosts and monsters were fantasy. For Tessa Byrne-Reyes, they were a constant in her daily life as a reaper. The legendary gods and creatures of mythology were, to her, historical figures. From a young age, she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, possessing what she saw as a curse but what her family considered a gift. It was her birthright, to use her abilities to guide the deceased to the afterlife of an eternity in peace or in torment. Her classmates viewed her as "the fainting girl" who would pass out in the middle of a lesson with inexplicable injuries. She experienced each death in the town of Belmont Falls, from the mundane to the gruesome. A gunshot wound in the gut, broken ribs, her heart ceasing to beat for several minutes. No one understood what caused these incidents but over the years, she gained a reputation for being abnormal. While Tessa is the freak of Belmont Falls, Fin Belmont, the charming rebel and son of the richest man in town, is her polar opposite. Knowing each other for years but never saying more than a dozen words between them, one night changes everything, thrusting them into each other's unfamiliar and daunting worlds. Together, with the help of her best friend/his ex-girlfriend Elena, they begin to unravel secrets about their town and their pasts, learning that some secrets are better left buried and grudges can be held for centuries.
