Chen Kun was so frightened that his face turned pale, even more so than when he had encountered the Peephole Strange Creature in the laboratory.
His mouth was agape, but he couldn't make a sound, retreating backwards subconsciously.
The long-haired woman in the gray dress continued to climb the stairs stiffly, her movements bizarre. As she neared the top, the odd scent of medicinal liquid grew stronger.
Chen Kun, with a look of terror on his face and mouth wide open, turned his head and saw that not far behind him was the restroom on this floor, albeit the women's restroom, while the men's restroom was either upstairs or downstairs.
"Screw it, to the women's restroom!"
At this point, Chen Kun couldn't care less; he darted into the restroom, passed the washbasins, entered a stall at random, and concealed himself, leaving just a crack in the stall door to spy on any movement outside.
