Chapter 4 Night Shift Ward

A profound silence

Wei Feifei let out a sharp scream, tightly gripping Xiao Ling and the胖子.

Wow---" The crowd screamed and turned to run. They definitely had to run, they must run! Even Xiao Ling's mind could not come up with any other solution.

In the end, Xiao Ling was carrying a fire extinguisher, the chubby man was holding a headless mop, and Wei Feifei had a bottle of hand soap in her right hand and a roll of toilet paper in her left hand... In the hospital, these were about all one could find

Ordinary chili powder certainly cannot drive away ghosts, and there is no known function for such a purpose; however, thought replication can.

But... a group of people lamented, "In horror movies, splitting up is just a recipe for death..."

Lin Qiuran tested the waters and obtained the opportunity to join a stronger team, yet chose to forgo it, remaining in the relatively weak couple's team

"Useless thing." Huang Hui stepped on his face.

I can only tell you that my past 9 attributes are not just keen

With a click of her tongue, Xiao Ling stepped into the elevator carrying a fire extinguisher

I had originally planned it this way as well. Two sharp and relatively dangerous clues

Peng Shuai opened her mouth, yet found herself at a loss. ... He was emotionally charged at 9, which should have indicated a fighting spirit, but when it came to guidance, only a spark as small as that from a lighter emerged from his fingertips

Wei Feifei hesitated: "I ... ... do not know"

Xiao Ling believes that the reason Peng Shuai enjoys introducing people, especially introducing partners for herself, is that only at such times can she look down on herself with a sense of superiority

Concise and to the point, well-organized

In the midst of the chaos, Xiao Ling, whose face was equally pale, waved his hand at the female ghost that was close at hand, and a cloud of red powder flew out, covering the ghost's face.

When others express their appreciation, it often involves treating someone to a meal, singing, or dancing. However, the overweight person particularly enjoys introducing others to girlfriends

In this case, the theft of organs, with no fatalities, presents a relatively low level of danger. The clues regarding the murder of the doctor undoubtedly carry a certain level of risk, and I will follow up with Peng Shuai on this matter. However, Wei Feifei must accompany us

As the pupils had just adapted to the darkness, suddenly a strong light entered their eyes, causing everyone to gasp in unison

"Do you think Lin Qiuran is too small?" The chubby man wrapped his arm around Xiao Ling, "What do you think of my brother here? He has good character, handsome appearance, and an intelligence level that is off the charts... Moreover, he hasn't dated anyone since being dumped by his first love."

The spicy flavor is simply outstanding!

"Let us go as well," Dong Ander said, feeling a surge of emotion. "I have been sharp for 9, as long as we are careful, we should be able to handle the sneak attack of the female ghost..."

What if you make the wrong push? This is a deadly trap; we could be eliminated directly and be unfortunate for a lifetime..." the fat man could not contain himself and said.

The timid Shen Minghui unexpectedly erupted, promptly grabbing his girlfriend, and turned to glare at the blonde: "What are you doing!"

The missing organ is the liver, and the hepatobiliary surgery department is located on the sixth floor. The deceased doctor is from the urology department, which is on the fourteenth floor

"Lin Qiuran is a good person." Xiao Ling had no choice but to explain to him, "What he wants is not for you to come over, but for you to go there... We know each other beforehand, and our relationship is good. The fact that I am willing to let you connect with that line indicates that there is really no danger, at least I do not foresee any danger."

As the crowd wept without tears, the reclusive Lin Qiuran held his head and shouted that this was a dream, hoping that waking up would resolve everything; the individual entrepreneur Dong Ander sat down heavily on the ground, weeping bitterly and lamenting that he did not want to spend the second half of his life in misfortune; there were even more who... were jostled and pushed, falling straight to the ground, fainting in fear, among them was the architect Shen Minghui

Everyone looked at each other, all with a pale complexion. It is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback; not everyone is as bold as Mr. Li when it comes to approaching a female ghost.

The young nurse's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she covered her mouth in silence

How did he do it? Everyone looked at him with uncertainty

Accompanied by gasps, there was a woman in white at the end of the corridor, her black hair draped over her face, her limbs hanging straight down, vaguely resembling a figure suspended in mid-air, exuding a chilling aura.

Everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, everyone possesses superhuman strength, so what is a female ghost? The instructor mentioned that even without power, one can complete the novice task, let alone with it. They slapped their thighs in regret, having been frightened into disarray, allowing Xiao Ling to take the lead.

Fang Qiang stood still: "Then why don't you say ... ... "

What a pity. If only we had enough strength to pursue directly, perhaps we would have succeeded... Xiao Ling sighed softly, her words shifting everyone's frustration.

Xiao Ling smiled wryly: "Didn’t anyone notice? The deadline is by tomorrow morning, at sunrise. Why did the master impose such a restriction? All I can think of is that when the sun rises, the ghost will disappear, and the case will be impossible to investigate..."

As the conversation continued, the elevator arrived, and the doors opened, revealing a metallic, enclosed small space before me

What happened

Dong Ander glanced at him: "There is no way around it, after all, we complement each other. The other one is also up ahead."

Fortunately, he knows himself and has left; otherwise, he would have faced isolation. ... It's just the old boss, a good person. I hope he won't be used as a shield by the yellow-haired one

Forget it, forget it. Lin Qiuran changed his mind, waved his hand, and said, "Let's leave it at that. What's so difficult about solving the case now? Isn't it just about questioning witnesses and checking surveillance? Who can't do that?"

What does he mean?" After parting ways, Peng Shuai couldn't help but ask. Within this brief conversation, there must be hidden meanings, but unfortunately, he could not decipher them no matter how hard he tried

Xiao Ling turned her head and asked Wei Feifei: "You feel uneasy, but... is there any danger? Is there a risk of death?"

We are nine people, perfectly divided into three groups, each investigating a clue and exchanging information. The figures in the corridor are Fang Qiang, Dong Ander, and Old Man Li pursuing, so let us pursue the remaining two clues.

Congratulations, you have repelled the female ghost's first attack. You have gained 50 experience points

As one travels along the way, one seeks both the path and weapons. Lin Zihan has mentioned that in the novice trial, conventional force can suffice, yet having a suitable weapon is still meaningful

Do you still dare to face me in a match?" Huang Mao Fang could no longer hold back and spoke after turning the corner

You are considered part of the Ghost Pursuit Group, so let's use Channel 2. If you encounter Mr. Li, please inform him. Channels 3 and 4 will be used by a few of us shortly. Channel 1 will serve as a public channel, to be switched to when collective discussion is needed

The blonde was taken aback

You clever people just love to speak in a roundabout way. The fat man suddenly realized, It really is hard to tell; that kid has a cold exterior but a warm heart. Alright, once we get out, I'll introduce him to a girl. With that kind of appearance, he probably doesn't have a girl, right

Amidst the screams, the corridor lights went out once again with a "pop," only to illuminate again after one second. The woman in white remained motionless, and the distance between her and the crowd silently diminished significantly.

Reveal the perverse spice, and there is also an empty bottle. Xiao Ling explained with a sense of unease: "My 9 attribute is intelligence. The chili powder is a replica." The empty bottle was thrown to the ground, shattering with a "clang" into fluorescence

Newbie difficulty, for testers, it is unlikely to encounter a deadlock, and even if there is one, it is not now. Xiao Ling waved his hand, saying, "Isn't saying it is not deterministic also a form of testing?"

Hmm! Nodding slightly, the two followed Grandpa Li and disappeared

The reclusive man Lin Qiuran curiously approached the mound of red powder, "Achoo! Achoo!" he sneezed violently, "It's chili powder," he asserted. However... "Can chili powder ward off ghosts? Is there such a saying?"

In the midst of the chaos, the corridor lights flickered on and off, and the female ghost appeared for the third time, standing before the crowd. Through her black hair, one could see her pale face and the deep eye sockets that emitted a ghostly glow

Huang Hui let out a mournful cry, but she did not rush forward; a great force seized her around the waist.

"Do you want to follow someone sharp and safe?" Huang Hui said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Are you out of your mind?" the fat man shouted

The extinguishing of the light is eerie, and one second later, the brightness is equally eerie

Xiao Ling experiences facial spasms and cramps

Therefore, the female ghost undoubtedly occupies a crucial position in the mission, and it is also possible that she is the final boss. To complete the game, it is impossible to avoid confronting her. Everyone should prepare themselves mentally in advance

Looking around, Wei Feifei, with a frown on her face, also entered.

The system displays m.hetushu.com, they are on the eleventh floor

Indeed, this is the case. The overweight man nodded and said, "Alright, let's change."

In the next moment, the female ghost fled in panic, the lights went out, and when they illuminated again, she was several meters away. The lights went out again, then lit up once more, and she was yet again several meters away... In the blink of an eye, she vanished from the other end of the corridor

Ah—recently, Huang Mao's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhead, and he suddenly grabbed Huang Hui beside him, forcefully pushing her towards the female ghost

It was only after running that I realized there was a dead end behind me. The door had a prompt - 【Do you want to leave through the exit? Leaving is considered giving up. Are you sure?】

Wow!!! The earlier terror was merely a prelude; this moment is the climax. The sound soars to the heavens, resonating for three days.

I do not oppose Wei Feifei joining you, but this way your firepower is insufficient. In the face of danger, I fear you may not be able to handle it alone. I will switch places with that fat guy. " He turned his hand to reveal a glass bottle, a semi-transparent red bottle. He had copied it from Xiao Ling's chili bottle, proof of an intelligence level of 9.

Complementary? Fang Qiang expressed his confusion

Xiao Ling merely listened to everyone's discussions without offering any comments

The discussion quickly came to a halt, and everyone looked at Xiao Ling: "What should we do next?" Asking the instructor for hidden information, using chili powder to repel the female ghost, if anyone could lead everyone to victory, the first choice without a doubt would be Xiao Ling

... ...

The chill rose from the spine to the tips of the hair, and the hysterical cries simply would not cease

"I oppose." Lin Qiuran adjusted his glasses

Lin Qiuran said that he was unable to refute it

"Alright," Xiao Ling seemed not to have heard, nodding, "Peng Shuai will go over there, and you come here. This is also good; he is a police officer and knows how to solve cases. You three will form a group. I was worried about not being able to find any clues."

With a bang, the elevator doors suddenly closed, and the lights immediately went out, leaving only the button for the 14th floor illuminated. There is indeed a problem

As the sound of footsteps faded away, the figure of Old Man Li disappeared at the end of the corridor, and everyone realized that one could actually run that fast even while wearing slippers

The elevator doors are about to close. Gritting his teeth, the chubby man hurriedly followed with a mop in hand: "Damn, having a brother like you is truly the worst luck in eight lifetimes and a complete disaster"

"In any case, I do not want my grades to be on par with others, or to fall behind. Do you want that?" Dong Ander grinned.

Nine newcomers were called, four pairs in total. The only one who was not called was not Xiao Ling, but rather the old gatekeeper wearing a tank top, slippers, and holding a large fan.

He was lost in thought, suddenly turning to the young nurse: "You... are called Wei Feifei, right? How about it? Are you willing?"

Dong Ander looked around at everyone until Fang Qiang raised his hand: "I will go with you." Chang Song let out a sigh of relief

It is said to make one consider, but in reality, there is no option to leave at all

Xiao Ling also lived up to expectations: "The master has provided three clues in total: organ donation was stolen; the doctor was killed; a ghostly figure in the corridor. They should all be related to the mission. Time is of the essence, and the best approach is to divide our forces.

Is that really the case? Xiao Ling was a bit taken aback

Why should it be said? Young man, in this trial, those who lose will certainly be eliminated, but does that mean those who win will definitely pass? Or is it the case that the number of spots is fixed, and only the top few have the opportunity?

Ah? The little nurse stared in astonishment, her big, round eyes evoking a sense of affection

There are people in the hospital, living people... doctors, nurses, patients... After inquiring a bit, they learned of each other's whereabouts, and thus the two parties parted ways, each heading towards their respective destinations

A piercing scream shattered the eardrums, the female ghost covered her face, revealing her delicate chin

In a state of disarray, they arrived at the elevator shaft. While waiting, the young nurse tugged at the sleeves of the two: "I feel that... the elevator is not safe"

Rest assured. Since it is a game, it will not punish players who have the courage to take risks. Even if there is danger, there will definitely be some leeway... Otherwise, it would be called murder, not a game," Xiao Ling said confidently

With the departure of the two individuals, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief. The one with yellow hair possesses combat capability, yet when faced with the female ghost, he actually used his own people as a shield. Such a person, the more combat capability he has, the more concerning he becomes.

"It makes sense; in horror movies, it's simply unscientific for no one to die in the elevator..." The overweight man nodded repeatedly, "Let's take the stairs; after all, it's only three floors."
