Chapter 18 - Oaksfield Mental Asylum-Part 4

The group heads into the hallway, keeping low to the ground. Belle and Leslie try to help the group sneak past the ghost's vision, but some of them spot the group. They make quick work of those ghosts, all it takes is an axe to the head or a knife to the chest and Belle can exorcize them. They make it to the stairs and hurriedly sneak up them, the next floor has fewer ghosts so they're able to move more freely, with Carly taking the lead to get them to the head doctor's office. 

"Here it is." She whispers, crouched in front of a door at the end of the hallway. They crack open the door and sneak in. The room is spacious, with a desk and some paintings on the wall. In the middle of the desk is a scalpel, at the edge of the blade is blood, still wet, the scalpel is stuck blade down on the desk. 

"It looks like somebody was in here recently," Belle comments, investigating the scene. 

"Whoever it was is probably still in the hospital," Leslie adds. 

"How are we supposed to find them?" Ben asks. 

"Hmm, I have an idea, I'll be right back," Belle states before walking out the door. He approaches a lone ghost in the hallway and quickly dispatches it with an axe to the neck. He then chops off its arms and legs and brings the head into the room. 

"Here it is." He says, placing the head on the desk. 

"What is it?" Shay questions. 

"He has a head," Leslie informs her. 

"What!? That's so creepy!" She cries out, backing up to the wall. Ben and Carly take a step back from the desk, looking at it with trepidation. 

"I'm just going to ask it some questions," Belle states, grabbing out the spirit box. He turns it on and it makes some crackling noises, it starts flipping through the radio channels. 

"Alright, I'm going to ask you some questions. First, did you happen to see a young man with black hair go by? He was most likely with a powerful ghost." Belle questions the head. 

BZZ-THEY-BZZBZZ-WENT-ZZ-TO-CRACKLE-THE-KSHH-DIRECTORS-KLLLZ-OFFICE

The words are difficult to make out, but Belle deciphers them after a bit of struggle. 

"Good. Do you know what they are planning?" He asks.

KSSH-NO-BZZZ

"Alright, that's all then." He finishes, mercilessly exorcizing the head. 

"So, I guess we're going to the director's office," Leslie states. 

"Mhm, Carly, do you know where that is?" Belle asks. 

"I do, it's on the fifth floor, and we're on the third floor now," Carly informs them. 

"I just want to go home! Why did I even agree to go to this thing anyway!" Shay whines. 

"You reap what you sow, we should just focus on escaping for now." Ben reasons. 

"Here's the plan, we'll go to the director's office on the fifth floor, avoid any ghosts, defeat the main ghost, and get the hell out of here!" Belle exclaims.

"Yeah!" Everyone agrees. They sneak back into the hallway, where there are significantly fewer ghosts than earlier. The entrance to the fourth-floor staircase is practically empty, the real problem begins once they reach the fourth floor. Standing in the middle of the hallway, is Glenn, flanked by two ghosts. 

"I thought this group would be easy to kill, looks like I'm not that lucky, whatever I'll just finish you off now." Glenn sighs with annoyance. 

"What are you doing here?" Belle questions. 

"Hmm, it wouldn't hurt to give you some information considering you'll be dead in the next few seconds. I've come here to capture a powerful ghost for our organization. I thought this tour group would be the best way in." He tells them. 

"Organization?" Belle muses. 

"W-why would you do such a thing, don't you know it's wrong to kill people!" Carly tries to reason. 

"Hahaha, I hate humans, it's as simple as that. Nothing we ever do is for the betterment of our kind, we're all worthless and deserve to die." Glenn says. 

"H-huh!" Carly, Ben, and Shay exclaim in shock.

"This guy is definitely bad news," Leslie states. 

"No more talking, you two, kill them," Glenn orders the two ghosts. One is a female ghost with short blonde hair, the other is a male ghost with brown hair. 

"Yes, master!" They shout, flying at the group. Belle grabs the capsule from the system, throwing it at the male ghost. 

"Go Cam! Take out that guy!" Belle shouts. He taps Leslie on the shoulder and they both jump the female ghost.

"Hah? You two are trying to take me on? Not a chance!" She shouts. The miasma gathers around her fingers and she shoots it at them. Belle and Leslie easily dodge and move closer to the ghost. Leslie slashes at her with a knife, but she dodges back, straight into Belle's axe. 

"Argh!" She screams. She turns around and stabs her fingers into Belle's shoulder. 

"Ah, shit." He curses as she pumps miasma into him. His surroundings get dizzy as his arm goes numb, he quickly backs up and she releases him, but his arm is still numb. 

"Watch out, her attacks can numb you," Belle informs Leslie who nods. Leslie rushes up and slashes at her with his knife, she dodges every attack but Belle comes in with his axe, distracting her, and allowing Leslie to stab her in the face. 

"Ah!" She exclaims. Belle quickly grabs onto her and exorcizes her. He turns to see what's going on with Cam to find that he's already taken care of the male ghost, who is now struggling within the ropes. Belle walks over and exorcizes him too. They glance up and find that Glenn is gone, presumably having gone upstairs. 

"Did you see where he went?" Belle asks the group. 

"He left at the beginning of the fight, he went upstairs," Carly tells them. 

"Good, seems like we'll meet again, I have some more questions for him after all," Belle says. 

"Why do you always summon me when you're in danger, couldn't you do it while you were at a spa or something?" Cam asks, floating over. 

"This is the second time I've summoned you, speaking of, I have some questions for you, but answer them later, we need to get going for now." He tells Cam. 

"Whatever, let's just get whatever it is you're doing done so I can go back to sleep."
