Virtue, Wisdom, Physique, Beauty
"You two know each other?" Wang Ting's eyes widened as she moved closer to the two of them.
Xiao Xueyin had naturally noticed this Parasitic Organism long ago.
He glanced at Yao Yi, who was still asleep, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "It's actually parasitizing the area of her chest."
"We can talk about this another time."
Lu Bai waved his hand, signaling Xiao Xueyin to quickly hide next door so as not to disturb his "fishing".
"Okay, if you need help, just clap your hands, I'll hear you."
After saying that, Xiao Xueyin turned and left the ward.
He stood in the corridor, looking around to make sure no one had noticed him, before slowly moving along the wall to the door of Ward 6020.
"..."
Separated by a door, in the ward, the figures on both sides were suppressing their breathing, half-squatting on the side.
The blades they held were stained with blood and did not reflect light.
"Make your move the instant the other party pushes the door open and enters, making sure they don't make a sound."
The fighters on both sides silently kept this goal in mind.
Click~
Turn the doorknob and push the door open a crack.
Just as these fighters were poised to engage, Xiao Xueyin suddenly stopped his subsequent actions.
His nostrils twitched almost imperceptibly.
Is there a bloody smell in the ward?
To be honest, he probably wouldn't notice such subtle differences on a normal day.
But having just left Lu Bai's ward, which reeked of blood, he would become much more sensitive to the smell of blood for a short period of time.
Even if the smell of blood in this ward is very faint, it's still there.
Xiao Xueyin made a quick decision; as he pushed open the door, he took a step back.
From his vantage point, he couldn't see the fighters in the room.
However, he had no illusions whatsoever. He raised his hand and clapped twice, the volume not loud, just enough for Lu Bai to barely hear.
The deathmatchers knew they had been exposed.
With things having come to this point, the fighters in Ward 6020 no longer hesitated and turned to rush out.
Wielding short knives and daggers, they aimed directly at Xiao Xueyin's vital parts.
Two? No, three people, all adult males.
It cannot be ruled out that someone else is hiding in the ward.
Using the cool Night Lighting in the corridor, Xiao Xueyin quickly discerned the general situation of these fighters.
Although he never said it outright, he was actually very confident in his skills.
If it were just three adult men, he felt that even without Lu Bai, he wasn't without a chance.
Xiao Xueyin took several steps back again, and just as his back was about to hit the wall, he twisted his waist and unleashed a fierce spinning kick.
He didn't expect this to work; it was merely a temporary measure to force the other side back and buy himself more time to react.
However, these fighters did not act as he had planned.
Without the slightest hesitation, one of the fighters stepped forward and raised his arms to take Xiao Xueyin's kick head-on.
Bang~
A dull thud echoed in the silent corridor.
Before the fighter could catch his breath, he grabbed Xiao Xueyin's legs and growled without turning his head, "De Da, Mei Da."
The two fierce competitors, known as De Da Mei Da, did not disappoint their teammates' trust.
One man wielded a short sword, and the other a dagger, attacking from both above and below.
Xiao Xueyin realized that he couldn't easily pull his leg out, so he simply used the leg that was being held as a fulcrum and jumped up diagonally.
Faced with the inertia from the body's rotation, Ti Da felt he might lose his grip, so he held his breath and exerted all his strength, pulling Xiao Xueyin around in mid-air before slamming him heavily to the ground.
So, the clapping signal you mentioned is for me to help you?
The door to room 6019 was opened at some point.
Lu Bai stood in front of the door, looking with interest at Xiao Xueyin, who was lying in the corridor, looking somewhat disheveled.
His teasing remark immediately silenced the room.
The three students from De Da, Mei Da, and Ti Da exchanged glances.
"Since you've taken the initiative to come out, then we brothers don't need to wait any longer."
De Da flicked his wrist, reversing his grip on the dagger. "Zhi Da, you come out too."
Before the words were finished, a deathmatch fighter wearing black-rimmed glasses walked out of the ward.
He crossed his arms, leaning against the wall like he had no bones. "You blockhead! I want to hide a little longer."
"What are you still hiding? Hurry up and kill these two, then run away with the 'Node'."
Mei Da lunged forward, pressing down with her short knife, intending to take down one of them first.
Unfortunately, Lu Bai did not allow him to do so.
Bang!
A crisp metallic clanging sound rang out, echoing through the corridor and lingering for a long time.
Zhi Da's eyes narrowed as he saw the Long Fang that suddenly appeared in Lu Bai's hand.
"It's Armory."
It's worth mentioning that, within the white-tier Ability Pool, [Armory I) ] is arguably one of the best white-tier abilities.
The reason is naturally that the weapons obtained from the [Armory], from white to colored, regardless of their level, can be used at any time.
"Don't just stand there."
De Da gripped the dagger in reverse and charged straight at Lu Bai.
In melee combat with cold weapons, the principle of "One Inch Longer, One Inch Stronger" applies.
Thanks to the exaggerated length of the Long Fang blade, Lu Bai didn't even need to activate [Flash Time]; with just a few casual slashes, he forced De Da to stay out of reach.
Ti Da wanted to pounce on Lu Bai and slam him down, but he was hesitant because of the ridiculously long Nodachi.
Xiao Xueyin sprang to her feet and engaged in Mei Da battle with Mei Da, who pounced on her next.
Zhi Da, who had been observing the situation, reminded him, "Ti Da, go help Mei Da."
"Good."
His Ti Da the point; he abandoned his confrontation with Lu Bai and turned to rush towards Xiao Xueyin.
"Tsk..."
Lu Bai suddenly activated [Flash Time] and slashed down Ti Da with one strike.
He stared at the blood flowing from the Ti Da corpse and added with a chuckle, "Isn't that a bit too dismissive of me?"
In an instant, De Da and Zhi Da's expressions turned extremely ugly.
Not only was Ti Da eliminated, but also, neither of them understood Lu Bai's actions.
This means that the other party seemed to be in a playful mood and wasn't taking it seriously at all.
"How can he be so strong?" Zhi Da looked on incredulously.
Click~
A middle-aged woman pushed open the door to room 6018: "Damn it, this is a hospital! If you want to make a scene, get out... Ugh, ah!!!"
The middle-aged woman was halfway through her rant when she saw what was happening in the corridor. She screamed in fright, hurriedly retreated, and slammed the ward door shut behind her.
The people in the corridor didn't even glance at the middle-aged woman once; the natives didn't deserve their attention.
"As expected of a strong fighter who earned the title in the very first round of deathmatch."
A hoarse voice came from Ward 6020.
A bald man walked out of the ward at a leisurely pace.
Upon seeing this man, De Da and Zhi Da shouted almost simultaneously.
"Lao Da!"
"Lao Da."
