Only after the other party had completely vanished did Ye Xin relax a little.
"It's over. I can finally rest."
She had to thank her Proliferation Ability for surviving this assassination attempt. Otherwise, the outsider might really have killed her.
She returned to the bed and sat down. Just as she was about to lie down for a while, Ye Qian suddenly felt a familiar sensation.
"This is..."
The surrounding space rippled slightly.
"No way?"
Another mission had arrived.
Both bodies felt dizzy, but this time, she could clearly choose which clone would participate.
"Use Ye Xin."
The next moment, Ye Xin's head spun, and she vanished from reality.
Meanwhile, her main body remained safely at home.
"Phew." Ye Qian took a deep breath.
With one soul in two bodies, she could clearly sense what her clone was experiencing.
After a brief blackout, she found herself standing in another area.
A completely unfamiliar... New World!
After regaining her senses, Ye Xin glanced at her hand and felt a little more reassured.
It seemed that even across two worlds, her consciousness remained connected. Compared to her main body, even if something happened to a proliferated clone, she apparently did not need to worry too much.
Only then did she begin examining the situation before her.
It was clearly indoors. The environment was rather terrible, and the facilities were extremely rundown. At a glance, it reminded her of an old house that had been abandoned for years.
Her gaze soon shifted to the side, where three other people were gradually waking up.
"Where is this? Why am I here?" The first to speak was a middle-aged man, his expression clearly panicked.
"Shut up."
The young man beside him gave him a cold glance, making him instinctively close his mouth.
"A newbie, huh? The louder someone likes to scream, the harder it is for them to survive." A mature-looking woman beside them adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and gave a strange smile. Then her gaze landed on Ye Xin's face. "This little sister is pretty cute. Is this your first mission?"
Ye Xin immediately shook her head.
It actually was her first time, but her instincts told her it was better to pretend she had experience.
"Looks like there's only one newcomer this time. We got lucky." The young man gave a light cough. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Shi Wenshan."
"Xuan Ya." The mature woman shrugged. "And this little sister?"
"Ye Xin." Ye Xin stated her name.
Just as she finished speaking...
Ding!
Main Quest: Dark Hospital. Objective: Kill the Source of Evil. Time Limit: 12 hours. Reward: 200 Exchange Points, 100 Life Energy.
"The mission is here." The moment Ye Xin saw the information, the young man spoke. "This mission is actually combat-oriented, so the difficulty is probably not low. Everyone, look around for any usable equipment."
After saying that, he walked straight to the side and pulled open a drawer.
Judging from the surroundings, this was a very old room. Most of the window behind them had been sealed shut, with only a little light shining in from above.
Meanwhile, the ceiling light swayed back and forth despite not being touched by anything.
At the same time, Ye Xin noticed that she and the woman beside her were both dressed in nurse uniforms, while the two men seemed to be wearing doctor's outfits.
"Start searching." Xuan Ya also pulled open a nearby drawer and began looking through it.
Ye Xin exhaled. With a flick of her finger, Spirit Thread swiftly swept across half the room. Only after confirming there was no danger did she walk to a nearby cabinet and take out a pair of scissors.
Item: Ordinary Scissors Quality: White Effect: Attack +1 Description: Ordinary scissors kept in the staff break room. They had already begun to rust.
This was the only thing that could be considered a weapon.
In truth, Ye Xin could attack directly with Spirit Thread, but using it for too long was rather draining. Besides, unless necessary, she did not want to reveal her strength.
As she stood up, Shi Wenshan also pulled out an Iron Rod that looked fairly reliable.
Xuan Ya found nothing, while the middle-aged newcomer seemed distracted and did not search properly at all.
"Sir, I suggest you take this more seriously. People really can die here." Xuan Ya smiled as she glanced at him.
"Oh, okay."
Though he was still utterly confused, the man clearly understood his situation.
No matter what, being brought into this place was far from normal. It seemed his only option was to obey.
"You two, what abilities or items did you exchange for in previous missions?" Shi Wenshan walked to the door and looked back at them.
"I only improved my physical fitness a little," Ye Xin said softly.
"I see."
"Little sister, isn't your figure a bit too good? And your face is way too pretty. Have you checked your Charm stat?" Xuan Ya draped an arm over Ye Xin's shoulder from behind, her eyes gleaming.
Ye Xin immediately shook her head. "You can check Charm?"
"You can, but you need a hidden stat inspection ticket. The drop rate is insanely low."
As she finished speaking with a grin, a line of green text suddenly appeared above her head: Level 6
Ye Xin froze slightly. Turning her head, she found that text had also appeared above the two men's heads.
LV9
LV1
As expected, she probably had one above her head too.
"The preparation time is over. Everyone, ready your weapons and leave this room. Our first priority is finding the Source of Evil mentioned in the mission. Also, we don't know how strong the monsters in this world are. If they're too strong, we should avoid fighting whenever possible."
After Shi Wenshan finished speaking, he pushed open the door before him.
Following him outside, Ye Xin could not help thinking that the place really did feel like something out of a horror movie.
This was indeed an abandoned hospital. The corridors on both sides were extremely dark and covered in moss. Simply standing there felt eerie.
"Damn, isn't this a horror movie map?" Xuan Ya muttered.
The newly arrived middle-aged man followed behind them nervously, trembling all over.
Ye Xin placed her hand against the wall across from her and released Spirit Thread.
A few seconds later, she had already checked every room nearby.
Empty.
They were all hospital wards, but there was not a single person inside.
"What are you doing, Ye Xin?" Xuan Ya's attention shifted toward her.
"There's no one in the rooms beside us. Let's head straight to the end of the corridor."
"How do you know there's no one?" Shi Wenshan looked at her strangely.
"Instinct."
After saying that, Ye Xin walked forward in front of them and pushed open all the doors on both sides.
"There really is no one."
Shi Wenshan's mouth twitched as he cautiously began walking farther down the corridor.
After they had advanced more than ten meters, Ye Xin sensed the scene inside one of the rooms.
A person wearing a hospital gown.
But when Spirit Thread sensed the person's body, she discovered that it was completely decayed, with thick pus constantly dripping from it.
All of a sudden, the patient moved and charged straight toward the door.
"Not good."
Bang!
With a deafening crash, the door was smashed open. That thing instantly appeared before them and charged at the four of them.
"Ah—" The middle-aged man immediately screamed.
In comparison, Shi Wenshan reacted the fastest. He immediately pulled out his rod and swung it violently forward.
Bang!
After a dull impact, the patient was knocked to the ground, while Shi Wenshan stumbled back several steps. A cracking sound came from his hand.
It seemed he had twisted something, and he clutched his arm.
Yet the patient on the ground instantly sprang back up, leaping nimbly toward Shi Wenshan's neck to bite him again.
"Help!" he roared.
Ye Xin dashed forward and instantly rushed in front of the target, swinging the scissors in her hand down at it.
Slash—
After a flash of cold light, the patient's arm fell off, spraying blood.
"Holy shit."
Xuan Ya cursed inelegantly.
She had no weapon and could not attack, but seeing this young girl suddenly launch such a nimble killing strike still shocked her.
They were just a pair of scissors, yet they had cleanly severed the target's arm?
"Roar—"
The patient still did not stop moving.
As the distance between them narrowed enough, Ye Xin controlled the invisible threads and tugged the target slightly, causing its attack to graze past her ear. Only then did she nimbly retreat several steps backward.
Bang!
Shi Wenshan's Iron Rod smashed viciously into the patient's head.
Blood immediately ran down its disgusting skin. The target staggered stiffly for a few steps before collapsing miserably to the ground.
Taking the chance, Ye Xin hooked a finger, and Spirit Thread shredded the target's brain.
Killed LV2 patient. Obtained: Exchange Points ×5 Extracting energy... Extraction complete. You obtained 70% of the energy from this kill, for a total of 7 points.
A notification sounded beside Ye Xin's ear.
Shi Wenshan across from her froze slightly, then said in disbelief, "Why did I only get 30%?"
"Probably... because I contributed more." Ye Xin spread her hands.
A level 2 patient could take such heavy damage from a rod alone. It seemed Shi Wenshan was fairly capable as well.
