Chapter 1347: Falling Into a Trap

No longer hesitating, Jiang Cheng found the stairs and rushed upstairs quickly. The corridor was still familiar to him. The overhead lights emitted soft light. Everything was so harmonious and normal.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Jiang Cheng felt. He found his and Fatty's room, took a deep breath, pressed the door handle, and with a slight knock, a scene that surprised him appeared. The door was not locked.

The door slowly opened, and the scene in the room appeared in front of him. Two messy single beds were exposed, and quilts and other things were piled on one side. There was a slight smell of alcohol in the air, and a few beer cans were thrown alone on the ground.

The scene in front of him was exactly the same as Jiang Cheng's impression of the room. At such a distance, he even remembered which beer can was empty and which one had some beer left.

Of course, just as he saw, there was no one in the room, let alone himself who was sleeping soundly as he had imagined.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng panicked. He quickly left the room and came to the door of the next room. This was room 2 and room 13, but this time the door was not opened directly. The room was locked.

His dim eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed the last straw. Jiang Cheng raised his leg without hesitation and kicked the door hard. The old wooden door could not withstand this blow. It opened and Jiang Cheng rushed in, but the scene in the room made him feel complicated.

This room was messier than theirs. The empty bottles by the bed were lined up. It seemed that the people who had lived here were more messy than him and Fatty. Similarly, there was no one in the room.

No one.

There was no one in both rooms.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng's inner persistence was shaken. He felt panic for the first time. Maybe... maybe he was wrong, wrong from the beginning. The mysterious black shadow was the culprit!

Fatty, and the visions on Luo Yunshan and the others were all fake. He was indeed troubled by the illusion, but it was not Fatty Luo Yunshan and the others who cast the illusion, but the black shadow!

It was the black shadow that made him suspicious of Fatty Luo Yunshan and the others, and based on these suspicions, he lured him step by step, and the other party's purpose was to make him return to this Hengtong Hotel!

In an instant, Jiang Cheng's mind was surging, but before he could think about it, at the same time, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from downstairs, moving quickly, rushing up the stairs.

Jiang Cheng turned and ran out of the room. In the corridor, he just saw Fatty and the others who came and appeared at the end of the corridor.

At this time, Fatty and the others were in a very bad state, with black ashes all over their bodies and dirty faces. It was probably caused by the fire just now. However, the moment he saw Jiang Cheng, Fatty's eyes lit up and he asked in a puzzled tone: "Doctor, doctor, what happened to you? They said that you set the fire, how could you..."

Jiang Cheng did not answer. There was nothing to be shy about this time. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Fatty and the others. In the photo, whether it was Fatty, Luo Yunshan, No. 2, or No. 13, they were all normal.

After putting down the phone, facing Fatty's eyes, Jiang Cheng felt mixed emotions in his heart, because his own misjudgment caused the entire team to suffer losses, and the plan to enter the mountain was also delayed. The chain reaction caused by this was terrible, and it might even endanger the lives of Lin Wan'er and others.

If...if after entering the mountain, he only found the bodies of Lin Wan'er and others, then Jiang Cheng might never forgive himself in this life.

"Crack--"

Just as Jiang Cheng was regretting, suddenly, there was a friction sound behind him. The sound was familiar and harsh. It sounded like sharp nails scratching.

His heart was in his throat. Along with the friction sound, there was also the feeling of being watched. Jiang Cheng knew that the black shadow appeared again and was standing behind him at this moment.

Was it his fault after all...

After all the trouble, he ended up falling into a trap.

Now, it was time for the other party to close the net. Jiang Cheng could foresee that soon, the sharp nail that was enough to leave scratches on the glass would pierce his chest and take his life.

At this moment, he calmed down instead. The past scenes played like slides in his mind. He was exhausted physically and mentally after making painful choices between life and death again and again. Perhaps dying here was also a good choice. The rest of the road was left to others to continue.

The fat man and others also looked past Jiang Cheng and looked behind him. Their eyes were full of vigilance and fear. No. 2 directly put on a defensive posture and blocked in front of everyone.

"Doctor, don't... don't look back." The fat man's nervous voice changed, and his pupils trembled. "Don't be afraid, come over here, slowly... slowly come over here."

"Trust me, it won't be... nothing will happen." The fat man continued.

"Crack--"

"Crack--"

Jiang Cheng counted silently in his heart. The opponent still hit him three times this time, three scratches whose intentions were completely unpredictable. At this point, it was already difficult to leave. Jiang Cheng was waiting for the black shadow to make a move first, but after waiting for a long time, the other party did not hurt him.

Slowly, Jiang Cheng also noticed something was wrong. The fat man was still nagging him to come over, but he was unwilling to take a step forward to meet him.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of them, so they dared not cross it at all.

He had a feeling that the fat man and the others were also afraid of the black shadow behind him, but in his impression, although the fat man talked a lot, he was still clear at the critical moment, and would never nag and disrupt his thoughts in such occasions.

Perhaps because he saw Jiang Cheng was hesitating, Fatty immediately changed his attitude and played the emotional card with Jiang Cheng.

As his doubts deepened, although Jiang Cheng did not look back, his eyes slowly swept over Fatty and his group. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. It was indescribable. The expressions of these people were indescribably stiff. This might be the shadow behind him affecting him. Of course, it might also be Fatty and his own problems.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Cheng recalled a lot of things. Last night, when the mysterious shadow appeared in the bathroom, Fatty outside had obviously noticed something was wrong. At that time, Fatty's choice was to stay put and secretly call for support from No. 2 and No. 13.

This choice was very correct, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the best solution, but the problem was that the person outside was Fatty, and the person inside was himself.

According to his understanding of the fat man, it is true that the fat man will call for support from No. 2 and No. 13 as soon as possible, but he will rush in to save himself before No. 2 and No. 13 arrive. After all, for every extra second, he will take a second of risk. The real fat man will not think in such detail. He just hopes that nothing will happen to him.
