You Want to Treat Me? I'll See You to Your Grave!

"Who... is destroying my ward..."

A muffled, raspy voice, like sandpaper scraping against bone, came from deep beneath Benevolent Heart Hospital. It was more than a physical sound wave; it carried a contamination that pierced straight through mental defenses.

The four streamers outside the outpatient hall clapped their hands over their ears in pain, black blood beginning to flow from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.

Even through their screens, viewers in the livestream felt a sudden, inexplicable bout of heart palpitations and nausea.

[What is that sound?! My heart stopped for a moment, and I'm listening through a screen!]

[It's a tier-three Anomaly! Definitely a tier-three Anomaly! That monster director of Benevolent Heart Hospital has woken up!]

[We're done for, we're done for! No matter how strong this kid is, there's no way he can beat a tier-three Anomaly! Tier three has the embryonic form of a law equivalent to the True God Level!]

Yet Su Bai, standing at the center of the storm, reached up and dug a finger in his ear as though nothing had happened.

"You've got quite a set of lungs. Seems the director's got plenty of breath, but not much sense. Shouting in a hospital-where's your professional conduct?"

Su Bai looked at the corridor ahead, which the school bus had smashed into a mess.

The Midnight School Bus had now stopped at the intersection leading to the inpatient wing. Eerie green ghostly flames flickered across its body, and the restless snarls of evil spirits came from inside.

A bizarre wall of flesh had appeared at the end of the corridor ahead.

It was a massive wall made from a jumble of countless broken corpses, internal organs, and rusty medical instruments, sealing the entrance underground tight. Across its surface, one painfully contorted human face after another wailed without end.

Seven or eight tier-two advanced mutant doctors stood in front of the wall, dressed in white coats and holding an assortment of surgical instruments. Like loyal guards, they blocked the school bus's path.

As the voice rang out from underground, the mutant doctors raised their heads in unison, their vacant eyes fixed firmly on Su Bai.

"Patient number 001... extremely manic, destroying hospital facilities... recommend a lobotomy."

The mutant doctors delivered their cold diagnosis in unison.

The moment they finished speaking.

Su Bai suddenly felt a strange distortion in the space around him.

At some unknown point, a giant scalpel formed from dark red resentment had appeared above his head! It slashed viciously toward the crown of his skull from an unavoidable angle!

This was the second core rule of Benevolent Heart Hospital-[Forced Surgery]!

Once a doctor issued a diagnosis, surgery would be forcibly performed on the target through the law of causality. No matter how strong the target's physical defenses were, they could not withstand it.

"Little brother, dodge!" Brother Long shouted in despair when he saw what was happening from afar.

But the blade was formed from a rule. There was nowhere to dodge.

Just as everyone thought Su Bai's skull was about to be split open.

Not only did Su Bai refuse to dodge, he gave a disdainful sneer.

"Perform surgery on me? Are you worthy?"

Su Bai did not even use a divine power shield. Instead, he shouted furiously in his heart, Hongdou, show these quacks what it really means to "treat the sick and save lives"!

Hum-!

The void behind Su Bai ripped open in an instant.

A flash of dazzling scarlet shot out of the black rift like lightning!

Hongdou's graceful figure, radiating an aura of utter death, appeared above Su Bai's head in an instant.

Her deathly pale, slender hands snapped together in midair!

Smack!

She actually caught the giant scalpel formed from a rule barehanded, clamping it firmly between her palms!

"Hehehe..."

Hongdou let out a chilling chuckle.

Under the pressure of Hongdou's hands, filled with utter resentment, the scalpel capable of cutting through a demigod's defenses began to crack under the strain.

Crack!

With a sharp snap, Hongdou crushed the rule-formed scalpel into a shower of red fragments, which dissolved into the air.

"What?!"

Not only the viewers in the livestream, but even the mindless mutant doctors collectively froze for a moment.

She crushed a rule with her bare hands?!

Just what kind of monster was this female ghost in red?!

"It's only polite to return the favor." Su Bai's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

"Now that you've finished diagnosing me, it's my turn to diagnose you."

Su Bai suddenly pointed forward.

"My diagnosis is... every last one of you, get on the bus for cremation!"

"School bus! Pick up the passengers!"

Screech-!!!

The Midnight School Bus let out another deafening screech of brakes!

An overbearing spatial force of compulsory attraction enveloped the seven or eight tier-two advanced mutant doctors like a giant invisible net.

"Roar-!"

The mutant doctors struggled desperately, wildly brandishing their scalpels in an attempt to sever the invisible chains.

But once the Midnight School Bus's Forced Boarding rule successfully took effect, it was irreversible!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Under the stunned gazes of the onlookers, the seven or eight powerful mutant doctors were forcibly yanked off their feet like a string of candied hawthorns and stuffed, every last one, through the bus's open doors!

Bang! The doors slammed shut.

Inside the bus, the fourteen evil spirits, already ravenous, once again let out shrieks of jubilation.

This time, the screams were even more bloodcurdling and lasted longer than before.

The entire school bus rocked violently. Blood splattered from within, staining the windows a solid dark red and making it impossible to see inside.

[Ding! The Midnight School Bus has successfully forced passengers aboard and devoured eight tier-two advanced Anomaly derivatives!]

[The evil spirits' baleful aura has increased significantly! The school bus's engine roars louder!]

[Current stops: 1/3. Please note: the passengers at the first stop have "disembarked" (been devoured). Host, please resume your journey and find a target for the next stop!]

Su Bai looked at the school bus, now a full-fledged "meat grinder," and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Now that's efficiency. Much faster than chopping them down one by one."

Just then, deep in the corridor ahead, the massive wall of flesh sealing the underground entrance suddenly began to writhe violently.

An enormous figure slowly squeezed its way out of the wall.

It was a monster a full three meters tall, wearing a tattered hospital director's uniform covered in scraps of flesh and black bloodstains.

Its head was an enormous glass medicine bottle containing a wildly beating black heart. Its hands were two enormous chainsaw-shaped scalpels covered in rust and bone fragments.

Tier-three Anomaly with a half-formed rule-[Benevolent Heart Director]!

The moment it appeared.

The temperature throughout Benevolent Heart Hospital plunged below freezing.

Black blood began to seep frantically from the corridor walls, while the floor tiles burst apart, exposing a foundation of rotting flesh beneath.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, as though it could crush a person's soul outright, swept toward Su Bai like a tsunami!

The pressure of a tier-three Anomaly would make it difficult for even a demigod to take a single step!

The four streamers in the distance had been completely overwhelmed by the pressure, foaming at the mouth and passing out. The livestream footage also began to flicker wildly, as though even the signal were suffering severe interference from the contamination.

"You... not only destroyed my head nurse... you also ate my attending physicians..."

The director's voice came from its glass medicine-bottle head, brimming with malice and madness.

"You... are sick... very sick..."

"I'll tie you to the operating table... smash your bones inch by inch... pull out your soul and make it into a specimen!"

As the director finished speaking.

The corridor around Su Bai vanished in an instant!

In its place was a huge, sterile operating room, glowing with glaring white light and hung everywhere with severed limbs!

In the center of the operating room stood a bloodstained metal operating table.

Against his will, Su Bai was instantly teleported onto the operating table by an irresistible law of space! Invisible chains bound his limbs tightly to the table, leaving him unable to move.

This was the strongest ability of a tier-three Anomaly-[Absolute Domain: Operating Room of Despair]!

Within this Domain, it was the absolute master. It could ignore any distance and forcibly bind its target to its operating table!

The director advanced with heavy steps, dragging its two enormous chainsaw scalpels as it slowly approached the operating table.

The black heart inside the glass medicine bottle beat wildly, making a spine-chilling "thump, thump."

"Surgery... begins..."

The director raised its two enormous chainsaws, each capable of cutting through space, and aimed them at Su Bai, who was bound to the operating table.

Outside, everyone who saw the scene through the flickering livestream had their hearts in their throats.

No matter how bizarre this kid's abilities were, being forcibly dragged into a tier-three monster's Absolute Domain and tied to the chopping block meant certain death!

However.

As Su Bai lay bound tightly to the operating table and looked up at the two roaring chainsaws above him, there was not the slightest trace of fear on his face.

He even gave a relaxed yawn, then looked at the arrogant monster director before him as though he were looking at an idiot.

"Big guy, haven't you got something wrong?"

Su Bai's voice sounded especially abrupt in the quiet operating room.

The director was taken aback, and the chainsaws in its hands paused slightly.

"You think dragging me into your Domain is enough to kill me?"

Su Bai's lips curled into a mocking, crazed sneer.

"Since you like performing surgery on others so much..."

"Today, I'll bring my entire divine kingdom over to play with you!"

"System! Wasteland Divine Kingdom! Full connection and descent!!!"

Rumble-!!!!!

Following Su Bai's earth-shaking roar.

A piercing sound of space shattering suddenly erupted throughout the [Operating Room of Despair] Domain!

It was like a glass ball struck hard by a giant iron hammer!

The director looked up in horror.

Above the Absolute Domain it was so proud of, it saw a terrifying abyss tens of meters long ripped straight through the white-glowing ceiling!

Black mist of ultimate wasteland contamination, 99.5% pure and filled with endless deathly silence, despair, and depravity, poured wildly into its operating room from the abyss, like the Milky Way cascading backward!

Under the onslaught of this terrifying contamination, comparable to the True God Level.

The invisible chains binding Su Bai instantly melted away like ice and snow!

Su Bai sprang up from the operating table and stood in the center of the black mist like an evil god descended upon the mortal world.

Behind him, two things slowly emerged from the enormous divine kingdom rift, making the director's soul tremble.

A battered bus flickering with eerie green ghostly flames, its engine roaring furiously.

And beside the bus.

The Thirteen Steps, overgrown with moss and covered in bloodstains, came crashing down onto the operating room floor, radiating the aura of a Spatial Labyrinth that devoured everything!

Su Bai clapped his hands and gave the trembling director a kindly smile.

"Director, your hospital seems pretty short-staffed too. How about you come be a doorman on my bus, or a step in my staircase?"

"Take your pick. Room and board included."
