Changhu

Xiao Xueyin's eyes narrowed. He didn't recognize the man at the elevator entrance, but the man waiting for the elevator at this time was most likely one of the Deathmatchers.

They made a decisive move to strike first.

Without saying a word, he grabbed the short knife in his hand and chopped it directly at the other man's head.

Snap

Changhu raised his left hand and grasped the blade of the short knife.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xueyin's pupils contracted slightly, and a strong sense of unease arose in his heart.

He strained his arm, trying to pull the dagger out, but the dagger, held by a fleshy hand, wouldn't budge.

That's incredibly strong!

Without hesitation, Xiao Xueyin released the short knife and kicked Changhu in the stomach.

Changhu took a half step back, and with a monkey-scooping-the-moon motion, precisely grabbed Xiao Xueyin's ankle with his right hand, then forcefully pulled him out of the elevator.

Bang!

Xiao Xueyin slammed hard on her back, the impact making her gag.

"You reacted pretty quickly."

Changhu tossed the dagger aside and commented indifferently.

Undeterred, Xiao Xueyin took a deep breath and held it, bracing himself on the ground with both hands. He then rotated his legs like a Thomas Flair, intending to force his opponent back.

"How's the situation up there now? 'Smiling Face' is still alive, right?"

While gathering intelligence, Changhu used his arm to block in front of him. After a dull thud of flesh colliding, he managed to forcefully stop Xiao Xueyin's kicking attack.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, he stomped hard on Xiao Xueyin's chest again.

Changhu's attack was so powerful that Xiao Xueyin felt as if he had been hit head-on by a large truck, and the bones in his chest were shattered.

"I'll give you three last seconds to think it over."

The Changhu exerted force with its feet to crush the enemy.

Xiao Xueyin, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"Whispering sound."

Changhu curled his lip. "Fine, I'll go check it out myself."

Before he finished speaking, his left hand suddenly tore open, and countless strips of flesh twisted and intertwined, finally coalescing into a huge bone knife with two strange eyeballs.

"Parasitic Organism?!"

Xiao Xueyin even doubted that she had seen correctly.

"Oh, you mean Little Tiger? It was quite reluctant at first."

Changhu grinned and slowly raised his left hand.

With a swift strike of the bone knife, Xiao Xueyin was eliminated on the spot, never having had a chance to wear his title.

"My God, what are you doing?! Do you even know what time it is?!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Qiang's voice was full of resentment; he was clearly still grumpy from waking up.

"Nobody wants this to happen."

Lu Bai sat cross-legged on the hospital bed and replied calmly.

He glanced at Yao Yi in the next bed. He guessed that Yao Yi was sleeping like a baby because of her serious injuries. The noise in the corridor didn't wake him up at all.

After quickly finishing his rant, Xu Qiang asked seriously, "What's the situation on your end right now?"

"The situation isn't looking good. A lot of Parasitic Organism have come to the hospital tonight. I suspect the mayor is trying to harm me."

Lu Bai said with absolute certainty.

He knew the truth better than anyone, but that didn't stop him from first scapegoating the mayor.

"And the commotion is quite loud; quite a few patients have probably called the police already. You need to act quickly; I'm worried the mayor might have a backup plan with the police."

"Don't rush, you haven't been dismissed yet. If the police arrive, step forward and take control of the situation. I'll be there soon."

Xu Qiang got out of bed, tilted his head, held his phone between his legs, and muttered curses as he got dressed.

"Then you'd better hurry, the police are already here."

Through the dense gaps in the Blinds, one could see flashing red and blue lights, mixed with the loud sound of sirens.

Lu Bai walked to the window and glanced out. He could see about seven or eight police cars parked below the Inpatient Department, and he estimated that more police officers would be arriving later.

It seems that quite a few patients have called the police.

Holy crap!!!

Before Lu Bai could turn around, he heard Yao Yi let out a hysterical scream.

"Hiss..."

This reaction was too intense, aggravating the wound and causing him to gasp.

Lu Bai turned around and said gently, "Don't be in such a hurry."

Yao Yi huddled on the hospital bed, his hands and feet trembling. Even though the visibility in the room was low, it was clear that his face was very pale.

You can't blame him for making a fuss; he's simply never encountered this situation before.

Anyone who has just woken up from a drowsy sleep and immediately sees a pile of corpses lying nearby would likely have an overreaction.

He tried to catch his breath to calm his tense nerves, but the strong smell of blood immediately made him nauseous.

However, putting everything else aside, after all that commotion, his lingering drowsiness had completely vanished.

It is exceptionally effective at boosting energy.

Yao Yi said haltingly, "These... these people, what, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, these are all Parasitic Organism."

Lu Bai walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Another Parasitic Organism?

Upon hearing this universal excuse, Yao Yi's eyelids twitched.

"A nurse was found unconscious in the elevator; her vital signs are stable."

"A dead body was found on the fifth floor."

"The two missing security guards were found dead in the first-floor restroom."

Inside the elevator, Pu Guangrong listened to the report over the walkie-talkie, speechless with astonishment.

Based on the initial information gathered, it appears to be a group crime.

Ding dong~

Arrived on the sixth floor.

A row of elevator doors opened one after another.

Seven or eight police officers poured out of the elevator car.

What came into view were the corpses of Lao Da and Zhi Da.

Adding to the two mangled corpses in the corridor, Pu Guangrong felt that the murderer was utterly depraved.

The number of deaths discovered so far already qualifies it as a major public safety incident.

The officers quickly switched the corridor lights to bright Incandescent Lamp.

The patients who Observe in secret from inside the wards only cautiously pushed open the door and came out when they saw the police.

The silence didn't last long, as the patients soon began chattering amongst themselves.

Seeing this, Pu Guangrong had a headache. He lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then patted the young police officer next to him. "Go ask who called the police?"

There was more than one person who called the police, and the young officer spent some time getting the details of what had happened from the patients.

"Brother Guangrong, it doesn't match up."

The young officer looked at the notes in his notebook. "These witnesses have conflicting accounts; some say it was a group fight, others say they were caught stealing..."

"That's not important. Let's check the identities of these deceased first."

Pu Guangrong exhaled a puff of smoke and added, "Did anyone witness the murder?"

The young police officer nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, they say there were several murderers, but only two survived. One went down in the elevator, and the other hid in a hospital room."

Let's leave it at that for now...

Since I'm not a full-time writer, I'll try to maintain three updates a day.

Goodnight everyone.
