The Doctor Who Fell in Love with Knives

The sudden turn of events darkened Shafuri's face. She tilted her head slightly, as if to say, "You used me?"

"Of course I used her, "Qu Xuanqing said, then stopped looking at Shafuri as if she were an insignificant person, a stark contrast to her previous confrontational attitude.

The voting process was a foregone conclusion. With Han Yan dead, the Pearl Seller was actually quite pleased. She readily agreed to Qu Xuanqing's suggestion and cast her vote for Shafuri.

Zhao Mou, Zhao Yijiu, and Yu Xing were also decisive. After the identification results came out on the big screen, the dean smashed Shafuri against a metal instrument. Her head was bleeding profusely, and bright red blood flowed down her cheeks. Even until she appeared to be dead, she only stared at Qu Xuanqing with a sinister gaze.

It's easy to imagine that this woman will get her revenge in the next night mode game.

The audience was shocked by the turn of events; they had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but they had no proof.

Someone noticed a blind spot. "Why are almost all the survivors from Qu Xuanqing's side?"

Everyone turned their suspicious gazes toward Zhao Mou. After all, in most people's minds, only this little fox from the Zhao family, who was skilled in divination and planning, was adept at such schemes.

At that time, a small group of people stared at Yu Xing on the screen for a long time. They had all witnessed Yu Xing's performance in Death Parallel Line and knew that this person was not to be underestimated.

However, apart from the people in each faction responsible for recording and analyzing the data, everyone else can only think about it and hope to find out more in the next two rounds at the Fear Hospital.

After a while, the hospital director spoke over the loudspeaker, "Thank God, the police investigation has yielded the final results, and all the culprits have finally been caught! This nightmare is over. My Doctor and patients, you can rest assured now."

There were actually only five people left, and they didn't really listen to what the dean was saying, because the dean was about to become a thing of the past and would never be seen again.

They all showed a certain degree of surprise, as if they had never expected that Shafuri was really the perpetrator. After all, acting requires professionalism; you have to act until the very last moment.

The system notification rang in their minds and simultaneously appeared in the live stream, addressed to the audience.

[Congratulations to all survivors! You have successfully identified two perpetrators. Mission accomplished!]

[The perpetrator's mission has failed in this round.]

[Mission failed for players who have already died in this round]

[Information has been entered. Records will continue to accumulate. A final diagnosis will be made based on each player's performance after the three rounds.]

The incandescent light in the hall flickered twice, emitting a piercing electrical interference sound. Yu Xing felt a sudden dizziness and fell asleep unexpectedly.

When Yu Xing opened his eyes again, the environment around him had changed from the lobby to a hospital room he had never been in before. The lights in the room were on, but it was still very dim, and the curtains were drawn tightly, not letting in a single ray of light.

This area is also a preparation area; it has no inherent significance and is not considered part of the Fear Hospital building complex.

He was still lying in bed, the mattress beneath him seemingly removed, the wooden board digging into his shoulder blades, causing him some pain.

His heart was beating inexplicably fast, as if he had just been frightened; it was pounding heavily, carrying an indescribable sense of panic.

Yu Xing sat up, pressing his hand to his chest to feel the unusual heartbeat. His palm touched the fabric of his shirt, and seeing the neatly folded white coat at the foot of the bed, he already knew he was Doctor this time, even before his identification tag was issued.

Great news!

At the same time, a muffled thud suddenly came from the window, which was particularly noticeable in the silence.

He slowly looked towards the window, and saw that the curtains, which had been completely drawn just a moment ago, were now slightly open, revealing a tiny bloody handprint illuminated by the light. At the same time, the inky black sky outside the window was also visible.

Night fell.

"Has it already started?" Yu Xing murmured.

After the morning appetizer, the real "Fear Hospital" begins with the screaming, nighttime mode.

Yu Xing turned around. The large screen embedded above the hospital bed was a bit distorted, covered with static as if the signal was bad. The audience's excited discussions peeked out from between the static, scrolling by quickly.

When Yu Xing turned around, the chat was filled with greetings to him, and some even asked about the previous game.

Faced with all the questions, Yu Xing either pretended not to see them or innocently said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't guess that Shafuri was the murderer, and that I just voted along with Qu?"

Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant; some audience members raised more interesting questions.

What exactly is your relationship with Boss Qu?

"They're good friends," Yu Xing said with a smile. He noticed the list of celebrity predictors watching in the corner of the screen. Unbeknownst to him, Medusa was no longer in his live stream, and instead, some unfamiliar celebrity predictors he had never heard of had entered.

He got out of bed, tidied his clothes and hair, and chatted casually with the audience for a few minutes. Then, Yu Xing heard the familiar hissing sound of the broadcast again, but this time the signal interference was much stronger than in the morning mode. It was the kind of broadcast that could startle you if it suddenly went off.

A ghostly, ethereal little girl's voice replaced the previous broadcast. Her tone was hollow, yet filled with malice and resentment, making the broadcast sound chilling.

"Zzz hee hee hee... Attention everyone, the second round of the Zi Yugi will begin in... three minutes. Now... let's reveal the identity cards for the second round."

"In this round of the Yugi, there are three Doctor, four nurses, and five patients. The patients suffer from dissociative identity disorder, night blindness, social phobia, leukemia, and a leg disability."

"The task setup is complete. Please collect your work ID or medical record card from the preparation area. The tasks you need to complete are marked on your work ID and medical record card. If you don't complete them within the specified time, you know what will happen, right? Hahahaha..."

The girl's voice suddenly became excited, wildly loud, shrill, and terrifying.

After she finished laughing, she continued in a sinister tone, "Two of you have been perpetrators, so please... be very careful!"

"You all need to leave this room with your ID tags within two and a half minutes and meet in the lobby. Hehehe... you might run into me!"

Yu Xing listened to the symptoms she reported, she thought with schadenfreude, "Tsk, what kind of weird symptoms are these in this round? Overall, they're much less friendly than the last round."

Especially that night blindness... Night blindness in the screaming night mode! How unlucky do you have to be to pull this? Although it's not as severe as claustrophobia, it's still a debuff that's maxed out.

There are also leg disabilities, a significant limitation on movement, and you should know that many monsters will appear in this game.

Dissociative identity disorder can easily lead to accidents.

Social anxiety disorder results in significant disadvantages in both explaining and acting.

As for leukemia, that condition causes extreme weakness.

Yu Xing added in her mind: Luckily, I'm Doctor.

Although gloating might harm allies, such as Xiao Ququ, Brother Jiu, and Zhao Mou, Yu Xing still felt very much looking forward to it.

With a "thud," a small sign fell off the edge of the bed, still attached to a dark blue ribbon that was hooked onto the bed leg and swaying precariously.

The screen suddenly went dark, and a wrinkled, grotesque face was projected onto the black screen in a magnified manner. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Yu Xing, and the corners of the mouth gradually split open, revealing strips of flesh still oozing blood between the teeth.

The ghostly face only appeared for a few seconds. Yu Xing calmly watched it, silently staring back at it, without showing any fear until the face disappeared.

He can no longer see the audience's reactions, which means this round of the Yugi is about to begin.

Yu Xing bent down to pick up his Doctor's work ID, glanced at it, and saw a red one-inch photo pasted on the left side of the ID. In his own eyes, it was definitely his own picture. In the photo, he was wearing a white coat, with a gentle expression and a smile on his lips. He didn't look like a Doctor, but rather like a playboy from somewhere.

"..." Yu Xing admired the photo for a moment, thinking the person in the photo was really handsome, but the expression didn't seem like something he would make.

The right side of the ID card reads "Xing," employee number, and "Head of Surgery."

Just like in the first round, in addition to the basic identity information, some extra information was given. The medical record had a large space on it, but the work ID was only a small one. So, where the work ID had fallen, there was also a letter and a note on it.

The letter was pink.

"... A love letter?" Yu Xing didn't even need to open it; the bright heart on the pink envelope already proved everything.

He opened the letter and glanced through it. It seemed to be written to him by a female patient, every word revealing undisguised affection.

The female patient also wrote, "Doctor. Xing, you healed my wounds, but you left a crack in my heart that can only be filled by your voice. I really admire you, how can you be so gentle!"

"Holy crap..." Yu Xing, like an elderly man looking at his phone on the subway, put the letter away. He knew that, judging from the ID photo, the system was trying to create the image of a Doctor with an abundance of romantic encounters, but this letter-writing...

If he received a love letter like that, he would most likely block all of the girl's contact methods immediately.

Setting the letter aside, Yu Xing began to read the small note.

"As a Doctor, you come from a wealthy family, are handsome, and are very popular with your female colleagues at the hospital. At a young age, you became the head of surgery based on your genuine talent and outstanding contributions. This made you even more famous, and many people came seeking your treatment."

"You're a very 'people-friendly' person, always wearing that kind of smile that's easy to misunderstand. Almost every now and then you receive love letters, some in paper form, some in emails or text messages. Only you know that after a day's work, you throw them all into the trash can or recycle bin, or just delete them."

"You love your job more than emotional connections with women."

[Task 1: Within half an hour, enter your office and tidy up your workstation. Throw away what needs to be thrown away and put what needs to be put away neatly. You are a very conscientious person at work, and you will definitely feel a splitting headache if your workstation is not tidy.]

[Task 2: At a certain time, someone will invite you to the garden. After receiving the invitation, you must go to see them with a note. You cannot openly refuse anyone's invitation, otherwise you will feel guilty, causing you to feel weak in your limbs.]

[You've been given Mission 3: Save someone in the hospital. Anyone will do; it's a habit of yours as Doctor. If you ultimately fail to save anyone, you'll die with guilt, along with the others.]

There are still three tasks, and the punishment for failing to complete them is more severe each time.

Yu Xing stared at the last task for a moment, lost in thought.

However, the note was not yet finished.

Or rather, the second half of the content is the background introduction to this night mode, and what is more important to Yu Xing.

"It's already late at night, but you're still working overtime because of things that happened during the day. You're a little tired, and when you're tired, you start thinking back to what happened during the day."

"The woman who sent you love letters was truly despicable. You kindly healed her, yet she harassed you relentlessly for the past week, even attempting to stalk and imprison you. This afternoon, you took half a day off and finally accepted her invitation to a date. You tricked her into coming home with you, and then, in the bedroom, just when she was most expecting something to happen, you stabbed her to death."

"What to do? The body is still on your bed. But you're such a dedicated person! You can't abandon your work, so you're still working overtime. You might also think that maybe you should see a psychiatrist when you have time, because you've found something that attracts you just as much as your work: using those hands that hold scalpels to save lives to end a life."

[Gained Special Identity: Perpetrator]

[You've been corrupted by the desire to kill. Pick up the knife, and you won't be able to resist; you'll have to cut something.]

Yu Xing's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she laughed with delight.

The perpetrator... he's truly amazing.

In that case, there's no need for a reason to kill anyone, right? Even if Han Yan is also the perpetrator, he can still create many opportunities for Han Yan to be exposed.

He had already considered that drawing the perpetrator would be the most advantageous scenario for his plan.

After Yu Xing finished being happy, he realized that time was running out, so he unfolded the folded white coat, put it on neatly, hung his work ID around his neck, stuffed the badge into the left breast pocket of the white coat, fastened a button at the neck, and pushed open the door.

A system notification appeared the moment the door was opened.

[Screen locations available in this Yugi: Elevator, First Floor Nurse Station, First Floor Lobby, Second Floor Ward 205, Second Floor Ward 207, Second Floor Ward 214, Third Floor Toilet, Third Floor Archives Room, Third Floor Treatment Room, Fourth Floor Intensive Care Unit, Fourth Floor Director's Office, Fourth Floor Corridor 4, Hospital Outer Garden]

[Extracting fixed perspective for this round]

[This round's perspective follows: Blood Pen]

This restriction only applies to the night mode; cameras are only present in the rooms and locations listed above, and like the lobby, it's a public view, meaning anyone who enters can be seen.

The fixed perspective refers to the screen that the audience can see; the blood pen is the name given to Ren Yi's Persona Mask.

In other words, in this round, the audience will experience the Yugi alongside Ren Yi, encountering different people as they follow his actions.

If you want to see other guests, you can only hope that Ren Yi runs into them, or that they themselves go to the room that is in the public view.

Yu Xing was even more delighted.

The fixed perspective didn't randomly target either Han Yan or him, so he wouldn't have any concerns when taking action.

Although Han Yan must be very happy about this, but...

Yu Xing didn't care.

Come on, he wants to see what interesting things will happen in this game.
