Chapter 64

Ai Xiang's work badge can trigger pending tasks at the pharmaceutical factory, so it's highly likely that Li Li also possesses some key item.

The emergency exits were empty, and the stairwells had no lights, only green fluorescent signs on the walls.

Su Cheng climbed four floors in one go without even breaking a sweat.

She pushed the door open very gently, and with a creak, she found herself in the medical staff changing room.

The changing room also serves as a rest area, but since it wasn't break time, there were no nurses present.

The dressing room was small, with lockers against the wall, a long table in the middle, and a bunk bed in the corner.

"I hadn't even gone looking for a changing room, and it just showed up at my doorstep." Su Cheng couldn't help but marvel at her good luck.

After sneaking into the doctor's office, she had the idea of exploring the nurses' changing room.

I just didn't expect the changing room to be connected to the emergency exit.

As I approached the lockers, each small locker door was labeled with a personal name.

Su Cheng found Nurse Liu's locker in the third row, took out the Omnipotent Key, inserted it into the lock, and the locker door popped open.

There was a nurse's uniform inside.

Su Cheng took out the clothes and discovered that the nurse's uniform was tattered and stained with bloodstains that couldn't be washed off.

A photograph floated out as the clothes were removed.

Su Cheng caught the photo, which showed two smiling young girls. One of them was Nurse Liu, and the other, who looked about five points like her, was Nurse Liu's sister.

Su Cheng carefully examined Nurse Liu's sister. The black mole on the corner of her lip, her narrow, single-eyelid eyes... she actually bore a striking resemblance to the operating room ghost?

Turning the photo over, it says on the back:

Liu Ruozi, Love, Liu Huizi, 9.10

[bite]

[Triggering a random quest: The Huizi's Life.]

I just finished one random task, and now another one has been triggered.

Su Cheng put the photo away and tiptoed to continue rummaging through Nurse Liu's cabinet, and actually found something.

Su Cheng pulled it out and found it was a medical report.

[□□Routine Inspection]

[Name: Wang Ye, Gender: Male, Age: 29]

[...]

[Diagnosis: □□ Conventional visual azoospermia]

Who is Wang Ye? Why did Nurse Liu keep his test report in the cabinet?

Was he her husband? Or was he Liu Huizi's husband?

Liu Huizi is undoubtedly dead, a Vengeful Ghost. Is the quest titled "Huizi's Life" meant for Su Cheng to explore her past...?

If Liu Huizi is indeed the female ghost in the operating room, then the main quests "Her Child" and "Huizi's Life" might be heading in the same direction and could be completed together.

Su Cheng gathered her thoughts and rummaged through the other storage cabinets, but found nothing useful.

Most of the lockers contained a nurse's uniform, along with everyday items such as a watch, pen, and notebook.

Su Cheng remembered going to Li Li's ward and glancing at her bracelet; it was almost 5 p. m.

Going out now would definitely attract the attention of the medical staff. She just wanted to search Li Li's ward and leave, and didn't want to cause any trouble.

She recalled that after 7 p. m., only two or three nurses would remain in the inpatient department to keep watch and make rounds, while the rest of the nurses would go downstairs to participate in the search for unauthorized personnel.

I'll just wait for the nurses to make their rounds before sneaking into the ward.

Su Cheng looked around, then returned to the stairwell behind the changing room door and sat down in a dark corner.

I took out the food and water from my bag, ate a simple meal, and then began to meditate to replenish my depleted Qi.

After continuously using the Fire-Attracting Art, her professional skill experience points have reached 100, allowing her to advance from Novice Celestial Master to Junior Celestial Master.

The success rate of the Fire-Attracting Art and the Soul Attraction Art has increased by 70%. The biggest benefit of the increased success rate is that it reduces the consumption of Qi.

However, once you reach the level of Junior Celestial Master, the experience gain from using these two skills will decrease.

Su Cheng slowed down her pace, realizing that career advancement could only be achieved step by step and could not be rushed.

During the two hours Su Cheng meditated, footsteps could be heard coming from the changing room, but no one opened the passageway door.

After 7 PM, subtle noises were heard coming from the stairwell, indicating that the monster had not missed the opportunity to search the stairwell.

Before the "person" upstairs came down, Su Cheng went into the changing room.

Open the front door of the changing room and turn around to see the nurses' station.

The nurses who remained on duty then began their first hourly rounds.

Su Cheng considered finding an opportunity to kill the nurses on rounds, but then she thought that the nurses might have some kind of alarm device, so she gave up the idea.

She ran over quickly and squatted down behind the nurses' station.

Two nurses are each responsible for half of the ward, and they spend about half a minute checking each room.

Su Cheng seized the opportunity and, when both nurses were in the ward, entered the room where Li Li had stayed.

"Call..."

Two patients lying in hospital beds were fast asleep.

Li Li's belongings had not yet been cleared away; the box was still beside the bed, the bed was in disarray, and there were still a few drops of blood on the sheets.

Su Cheng quickly opened the box; inside were clothes and Chinese textbooks, with toiletries in a small compartment.

Su Cheng picked up the books one by one, quickly flipped through them, and found the work ID tucked inside a textbook.

Li Li

female

Chinese teacher of Class 1, Grade 12, Golden Leaf High School

[bite]

[Quest to be unlocked (Golden Leaf High School): Our Teacher]

There really are still some missions pending at Golden Leaf High School.

She has now triggered two pending missions in different locations.

Su Cheng packed up her books and work ID, and was about to sneak out of the ward when she suddenly heard very fast footsteps in the corridor.

The monster darted past and disappeared into the next room.

Su Cheng heard Mo Yiyi and Liu Yue's voices.

They returned to the inpatient ward before 7 PM, but then got into a fight with the monster?

A note from the author:

Chapter 64

Su Cheng quickly left the ward and leaned out to look into the next ward. As she expected, Mo Yiyi and Liu Yue were indeed fighting with the two monsters.

They were trapped in the ward by the monster, and had no way out unless they killed it.

Liu Yue used a shield to block several of the monster's attacks; it was an item she had mentioned had damage-absorbing properties.

Su Cheng remembered that she had mentioned that this item had a cooldown and a limited number of uses.

Mo Yiyi held a bayonet in her hand, but the monster seemed oblivious to being stabbed, clearly indicating that the bayonet was not very effective.

The two monsters showed no mercy to the two men, but when they swung their claws, they deliberately avoided their abdomens, attacking their chests, necks, and other vital areas!

In addition, the elevator suddenly started moving, displaying that it was going up.

What comes up could be a contestant, or it could be a monster.

Given the current situation, Su Cheng leans towards the latter, and the other medical staff in the inpatient department have received the signal and are about to come up.

She immediately drew her boning knife and stealthily attacked one of the monsters.

The boning knife pierced the monster's body with a "thud," encountering little resistance, as if it were piercing a lump of mud.

The monster made no sound; its body disintegrated like a puppet, its limbs separated, and the stench of decay filled the entire ward.

A streak of Red Resentment unexpectedly shot towards Su Cheng's forehead, but was dispersed by the light emitted from the jade pendant!

The other monster sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to change its target, but was trapped by Mo Yiyi and Liu Yue.

Attack from both sides, kill the monster twice.

Blue ghostly flames ignited the shattered body.

"Follow me! Their reinforcements have arrived!"

Su Cheng pulled the two of them and rushed towards the changing room. As they opened the back door of the changing room and entered the stairwell, the elevator doors opened, and eight monsters arrived!

"Shh!"

Su Cheng made a shushing gesture.

The three of them walked quietly down the stairs. The monster that arrived at the inpatient ward would first inspect each ward, which gave them time to leave.

There were few monsters roaming the stairwell, and the three of them chose to ambush and kill them before they had a chance to sound an alarm.

After bending down against the wall, they arrived at the first floor.

Su Cheng's idea was to go to Doctor Li's clinic. After Doctor Li and the fetal corpse were dealt with, that place might be a safe haven after 7 p. m.

She had originally planned to spend the night in the outpatient clinic after leaving Li Li's ward, and after helping Mo Yiyi and the others, this plan remained unchanged.

Tonight is different from yesterday. After figuring out the rule that the monsters will be cleared out at 7 PM, most of the participants will no longer wander around.

Monsters will wander around if they have no target.

The three hid behind a door in the stairwell on the first floor. After listening for a moment and confirming that there was no movement behind the door, Su Cheng slowly pushed the door open.

The corridor was empty, unlike the darkness of the stairwell. The ceiling lights shone brightly, and the floor tiles reflected light.

Su Cheng gestured for them to follow, and led the two, who were holding their breath, forward quickly, then turned back as they rounded the corner.

They only hurried on after the hunched-over "cleaner" with thorns protruding from her back had left their sight.

Coming down the stairs saves a lot of trouble as you don't have to go around the lobby.

Su Cheng led them smoothly into Doctor Li's clinic and locked the door.

"Phew... Thank you, Sister Cheng." After arriving at the safe area, Mo Yiyi and Liu Yue both breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Cheng waved her hand and sat down in a chair. "Have you found any random quests?"

Liu Yue looked dejected and shook her head. "The probability of triggering random tasks isn't high. Maybe we're just having bad luck."

Mo Yiyi, on the other hand, was much more optimistic, saying, "Actually, it would be great if we could just get back alive."

The competitive dungeons were far more dangerous than they had imagined, and the two had already faced life-or-death crises several times.

When you first enter the dungeon, you might be aiming for a top-five finish, but reality is harsh...

Su Cheng strongly agreed that the probability of triggering random tasks was low; despite her efforts, she only managed to complete one "The Forgotten Surgery."

"By the way, why did you suddenly start fighting with the monsters? Did you trigger some rules?"

Mo Yiyi: "Yes, that nurse suddenly insisted that we eat the nutritional meals, saying that we weren't there when the ward distributed the three meals a day."
