Hospital Screening

No matter how many times the Black Cat throws the black thread ball into the Dining Hall, the black thread will bounce off and roll away, refusing to go in no matter what.

The Black Cat, stubborn as ever, caught up with the black ball in a few strides, forcibly bit it, and dragged it into the Dining Hall. But the closer they got to the Dining Hall, the more fiercely the black ball struggled in the Black Cat's mouth.

The messy black ball had been torn into an oval shape, its frayed edges clearly showing its rejection, but the Black Cat held on tightly, no matter how much it pulled, it was still firmly held in the Black Cat's mouth.

The black ball of thread had nowhere to hide and dissipated into energy the moment the Black Cat stepped into the cafeteria.

The Black Cat's mouth suddenly went empty, and its eyes widened in surprise.

"Meow?" The toy disappeared?

The few bystanders:... Pfft

The Black Cat remained silent for a moment, then brandished its sharp claws, just as it was about to pounce and make another ball of yarn, when it suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.

The Black Cat sniffed, as if it could smell a familiar soul.

He stopped and turned to look. Tao Yuan and the others were also curious about what had happened, and cautiously peeked out towards the stairs.

"Knock knock!"

At that moment, Lin Yi, Flower Language, and Wu Liang were rushing down the stairs.

Behind their heads, there were eerie lines that filled the gaps in the staircase almost entirely with air!

The lines resembled living nematodes, not only spreading and growing in all directions but also constantly wriggling and twisting, forming strange shapes.

The distorted shape was so grotesque that just one glance made one feel nauseous and sent chills down one's spine.

"Meow!!" The Black Cat's fur bristled like a hedgehog, and it pounced into the cafeteria in a defensive stance.

Tao Yuan and the others instinctively pulled back, clutching their chests and gagging, feeling as if their eyes had been contaminated.

Wang Ding pulled back, gagged, then poked his head out again and shouted, "Lin Yi, run this way!"

Lin Yi looked up and saw them, then rushed over without hesitation.

The three of them burst through the door, but Mi Chuchu and An Ying, who were already prepared, slammed the door shut and locked it.

"Bang!"

"Knock knock--"

A series of quick, soft, muffled thuds rang out, and everyone quickly moved away from the door, their eyes fixed on the gaps around it, afraid of missing even a single thread that might slip through.

Fortunately, even the numerous and Black-Line Weird still couldn't get into the cafeteria area.

Lin Yi's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his heart pounding and his face pale.

Wu Liang and Flower Language bent over silently, supporting their knees; they were also exhausted.

"Flower Language, Wu Liang, what have you done? All the black lines in the entire Instance have reached you, haven't they?" Tao Yuan recognized the two of them at a glance. Although they had shrunk in size, their aura remained unchanged.

Wang Ding ignored the other two and helped Lin Yi up to check if he was injured. "How are you? Do you need treatment?"

Lin Yi was too exhausted to speak, and could only keep waving his hands to indicate that he was fine.

Catching his breath, he looked at Lin Nieran, who was leisurely floating in the air, and his desire to switch bodies grew even stronger.

That was so exciting! He almost thought he was going to die.

"I didn't do it," Flower Language, pointing at Wu Liang. "He struck first, which brought danger."

Wu Liang sneered, "It's true that I made the first move, but I didn't disturb that thing outside. It was clearly your Vines that swept all those things away and alerted them."

"Nonsense! If it weren't for..." Flower Language started to say something, but paused when she caught sight of Lin Yi out of the corner of her eye. She could only suppress her impulse and gritted her teeth, saying, "I would definitely kill you."

Wu Liang pulled out Scalpel: "Then do it now!"

The transparent Lin Nieran stood helplessly between the two. "Hey, hey, hey, stop it!"

The Black Cat licked its paws. "Meow." Foolish two-legged creature.

Seeing that they were about to get serious, Tao Yuan and An Ying quickly stepped forward to break them up.

Tao Yuan grabbed Flower Language's arm. "No, no, no, don't be angry. It's really inconvenient to kill people here. We still have our live streaming equipment on us. It wouldn't be good if the other members of the organization saw you killing your friend."

An Ying also tugged at Wu Liang's clothes. "Don't be impulsive. If your friends see you guys from the same faction fighting, they'll definitely be angry, right?"

"Ha, my lord will be very happy to have you dealt with."

"My friend is mine. If he'd be happy if I died, what's wrong with giving him my life?"

An Ying immediately grabbed him. "No, no, no, don't say that."

Tao Yuan hugged the Flower Language tightly, saying, "We're all in the same organization, don't fight amongst yourselves!"

Beside the four, Mi Chuchu watched the spectacle with great interest as she removed her heavy armor.

Seeing that the others were safe, Wang Ding turned his attention back to Lin Yi. After noticing Lin Yi's complexion gradually returning to normal, he asked curiously, "Why did you run down with them? Isn't it still before the agreed time?"

At this point, Lin Yi's face darkened, and he pursed his lips, saying, "I wasn't asleep. I saw something outside the window, so I went out to check, and then I met them at the door."

"They started fighting as soon as they met, and then they started arguing again on the stairs for some reason."

"Flower Language attacked Wu Liang first, but Wu Liang's knife also wounded Flower Language. By the time we realized something was wrong, many Black-Line Weird had already gathered behind us. And then, what you saw was what happened."

"That's very much their style..." Wang Ding concluded.

Lin Yi asked, "Do you know these two strange people?"

Mi Chuchu placed the armor she had taken off on the ground and chuckled upon hearing this, "I know them, but not very well. You'll see later; they won't behave themselves. Trouble is their style."

Lin Yi looked at them strangely. Why did it seem like they had known each other for a long time? Even his brother seemed to know them well. Why?

Wang Ding looked at Mi Chuchu's armor curiously and said, "So your armor has an automatic adjustment function?"

Mi Chuchu's current figure is quite tiny compared to her adult form. She was initially worried that she wouldn't be able to fit into the armor, but unexpectedly, the armor also shrunk along with her.

The impact of such imposing armor on an adorable face actually softens the armor's otherwise fierce and menacing appearance.

"This is the first time I've heard of this ability," Mi Chuchu sighed. "It's just that the strength is much weaker, making it very awkward to use."

Lin Yi didn't quite understand what they were saying. Only after watching Mi Chuchu put away her armor did he turn his attention to An Ying's hair.

"What happened to his hair? It was black during the day."

Wang Ding said, "That's what albinism is like."

"Oh." Lin Yi's eyes were full of regret. "Was he also born with a disease? Then, did he also pass the physical examination for entering the park by using the things you had?"

Wang Ding and Mi Chuchu were taken aback. "What kind of test?"

Lin Yi said, "Didn't you conduct any tests? Everyone who comes to the Orphanage undergoes a full-body examination before being allowed in. Those who are physically unhealthy or mentally unstable are directly classified as F-level. The person who smashed my plate at dinner the other day was an F-level person who was mentally unstable."
