Fifth floor of Nanhua Private Renji Hospital.

The Room at the end of the corridor.

Around Lu Ban, the insane, irrational babbling lingered, while Du Danping's melody had almost disappeared.

The silver pistol appeared in his palm, and the last magazine of the [Last Words] spun, collecting Du Danping's melody.

In his field of vision, the system's indifferent and cold gray text appeared, reminding Lu Ban.

[Task Requirements: Find 0/1 fragments of Du Danping's Melody Fragment]

[Mission Objective: Enter Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and survive until dawn]

[Remaining Time: 06:51:12]

"That's not it?"

Lu Ban was puzzled. The melody that suppressed the monster should have been done by Du Danping, but this was not Melody Fragment he left behind. So, where was Du Danping's Melody Fragment?

However, time no longer allowed Lu Ban to conduct any further investigations.

He could feel that even the air belonged to that twisted monster.

In Lu Ban's mind, at this moment, the murmurs of countless people were repeating.

The consciousness of those who died, went missing, or were captured by the monster, absorbed by Him, is now roaring out.

These sounds formed a cry, like a baby announcing its arrival into the world.

All of this planning and scheming, more than twenty years of gestation, has been for this moment.

This is the moment of birth, a promise of hope and blessing.

"I'm so scared, I'm so scared, is there anyone who can save me?"

The timid nurse stood at the table, using her own blood to plead for help, stroke by stroke.

"Living Stake, Living Stake, I've done my best, I've done my best!"

The remorseful builder stood by the wall, whispering to his compatriots inside.

"The mystery of life and death, I have finally grasped the mystery of life and death! I have succeeded, I have succeeded!"

On the operating table, the crazed doctor poured that filthy liquid into the body of the dying man.

Those sounds filled Lu Ban's ears and drilled into his mind; even covering his ears was of no use.

It wasn't that Lu Ban was listening to these delirious murmurs, but rather that these delirious murmurs were chasing after Lu Ban!

He immediately switched to the Speech Bullet of his pistol, Speech Bullet the cartridge containing the words of the Great Being, and fired.

Five shots in a row, Lu Ban showed no hesitation, no pity.

The cement work came to a standstill.

The eyes and mouths that had opened on those gray, viscous flesh suddenly opened wide, some even bursting through their bodies.

The next moment, the entire building began to shake violently.

This was an earthquake that could be felt in the real world. In an instant, the entire Jiangcheng awoke from the silence of the night, and lights spread out from the hospital.

"Wrong."

Lu Ban saw that the cement did not collapse because of the delirium; on the contrary, it began to wriggle, secrete, and proliferate even more, and would soon fill the entire space.

"This delirium only drove Him madder? Even though death was imminent?"

Given the current rate at which this monster is multiplying, there is no doubt that it may collapse due to exhaustion of power before it can even complete its birth, at most causing the destruction of a city.

Having been in hiding for over twenty years, He had no need to do this.

But perhaps influenced by the ravings of the Great Being that Lu Ban had instilled in it, the monster completely lost its reason. Even its instincts were disturbed, and it could only keep expanding its existence until it filled the entire space, plunging the whole world into darkness.

This is the worst choice: to destroy yourself and the world.

"[Glazed Fire]? Or should we just get a Halloween pumpkin, or some other weapon of mass destruction?"

Lu Ban's mind raced.

[Glazed Fire] This kind of inextinguishable flame is definitely not going to work. By the time we burn the monsters, Jiangcheng will probably be engulfed in flames.

Products like "Halloween," which are considered mentally polluting, are probably similar to the ramblings of Great Being, and will only make this monster go berserk even more thoroughly.

As for skills like [Blazing Heavenly Thunder], which require learning, they are currently not of any use.

He didn't have time to browse the store carefully and decided to leave the room first.

If all else fails, we'll have to resort to dice.

He saw the door encased in cement, grabbed a crowbar, and rushed outside.

At the same time, Lu Ban picked up his suona with his other hand.

He played the suona.

Since the other party has already gone mad, let's just play a melody for Him and make the madness even more intense!

The ramblings of the Great Being Jiangcheng Grand Theater and the obvious antagonism of this suona might have quite different effects.

Amidst the suona horns, a soaring melody burst forth, drawing the attention of some being to a point out of sight of Lu Ban, among the stars.

The surging cement enveloped Lu Ban, attempting to flow into his brain through his ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, but the melody of the suona plunged these monster clones into an even deeper frenzy, to the point that they forgot even their instincts.

The earthquake was getting more and more intense. At this moment, the Jiangcheng City Geological Bureau, which was still unaware of what had happened, had just issued an earthquake warning. Fire departments and other agencies were still in a state of mobilization. Many people could only hide under their beds and huddle together with their families.

Therefore, most people did not notice that in the dark night sky, a star twinkled a few times at a frequency that was definitely not natural. These twinkles may have been just a fleeting glimpse in the billions of years of cosmic history, but for Lu Ban now, for the monster currently located in Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, it was enough to change everything.

The cement paused for a moment, but quickly, as if boiling, the eyes and mouths inside the cement opened, and the entire building changed shape, like melting ice cream.

Lu Ban felt his legs go weak and he rushed out of the Room at the end of the corridor.

He wasn't sure if the demolition team's explosives could destroy the monster, so Lu Ban ran down the corridor.

He took out his phone, but there was no signal, so he couldn't contact the outside world.

Just then, Lu Ban saw something.

In a world that has become indescribable and extremely distorted, Lu Ban discovered something unchanging.

At the same time, the words he had seen before came back to his mind.

He said that the mirrors in the elevator can reflect reality and falsehood; those vicious and cruel people have no shadows.

It's an elevator!

Lu Ban saw the metal creation floating and sinking between the cement, but it did not change its appearance.

The old, decaying gate opened, as if to welcome Lu Ban.

He arrived at the door and saw the mirror inside, which was spotless, as if someone cleaned it every day.

"This mirror. Monsters are afraid of this mirror, or rather, this mirror has a suppressive effect on them."

Lu Ban immediately thought of it.

The baby that the monster was in disguise would follow people up the stairs, but it would not follow people into the elevator.

The controlled corpse was able to enter the elevator, but it was like a puppet with its strings cut.

The mirrors in the elevator are strangely designed; they can reflect things that don't belong to this world.

The little girl in the mirror clearly doesn't look like she needs to crawl to move.

And then there were the workers who drove the streamer away.

Perhaps there is another world within this mirror. Or rather...

"This is the gateway between the two worlds!"

Lu Ban stepped into the elevator and saw that his reflection in the mirror Pale, but he still managed a smile.

A little girl stood beside him; although her face looked ashen, she didn't appear eerie.

"So it was you."

Lu Ban understands everything.
