Fukang Hospital

After the unusual scenario ended, the other two morgues also returned to their original shape, and all the corpses returned to their original positions as if they had never moved.

After all the corpses were pushed into the freezer and was locked, the notification sound of task completion sounded in Wen Jianyan's ears:

【The reward of the live broadcast mission is being settled for you…】

【Main task: Complete the patrol task in the basement within two hours.

Completion Degree: 100%, Reward Points: 5000】

【Instance Exploration Degree: 25%, Reward Points: 2000

Current Plot Modification: 18%, Reward Points: 10000】

Wen Jianyan shook a little.

The psychological shadow left by the previous instance had not dissipated yet, and now he couldn't help but feel panicked when he saw the increase in the plot modification degree.

However, for the better, at least his wallet swelled up all of a sudden.

Seeing that the one-hour survival time was about to be used up, Wen Jianyan quickly redeemed points for another two hours.

After purchasing the survival time, there were still 11,000 points left in the account.

He thought about it for a while, and then fed the remaining fraction to the apple seedlings——It was indeed useful in one aspect, and more importantly, he didn't want to encounter the same situation as last time this time; rather than directly losing all the points in the account by the system all of a sudden, it was better to feed it a little from time to time, at least to control the growth progress of this guy.

Su Cheng also got the prompt for the completion of the task.

His initial survival time was one hour longer than Wen Jianyan's. Although he didn't get any reward for plot modification, the points of the main task and instance exploration alone were enough for him to survive.

Wen Jianyan looked down at the booklet in his hand. All the names of the corpses were ticked, but only one corpse was still missing——

Lin Qing, female, 29 years old.

She was also Qi Shen's older sister and an Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Fukang Private General Hospital.

Her cause of death was unknown.

***

After completing the task given to them by Xue Mingyan, the three got on the elevator again to leave the basement.

The elevator doors slowly closed with a rusty creaking sound.

At the moment when it was about to close, Wen Jianyan saw that a white shadow appeared outside the elevator. The woman stood motionless in the morgue, her face was pale and blurred, and she seemed to be looking in this direction.

Wen Jianyan became frightened and suddenly shuddered.

The next second, the elevator doors closed.

The buzzing sound of the machinery sounded, and the old elevator for transporting corpses slowly ascended.

Wen Jianyan felt a chill behind him, and a layer of cold sweat slowly oozed out from his forehead.

No way…

No way, no way…

The fake identity last time lasted for more than half of the instance, and this time it was unlikely to be seen through in just five minutes!

When he thought that the lie he had just told might have been told in front of the boss, Wen Jianyan's eyes went black.

His career as a fraudster won't face another tragic defeat!

The number on the elevator display changed from “-1” to “1”.

“Ding——”

The elevator door opened slowly, and Su Cheng took two steps out but found that Wen Jianyan didn't follow.

He turned his head doubtfully but saw that the young man was standing on the spot with empty eyes. He was looking listless, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of the depressing air.

Su Cheng asked inexplicably, “What's wrong?”

Wen Jianyan dropped his head and walked out of the elevator step by step: “…No, it's nothing.”

Forget it…

It's already like this anyway.

Counter Soldiers with arms, and water with a death weir.1Idiom: Means to adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation

——Wen Jianyan wiped his face and thought about the broken pot.

Soon, the three returned to the duty room, where Xue Mingyan was waiting at the moment.

When she saw the three of them, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: “Not bad, you're quite fast. Are all the tasks completed?”

“Yes, it's all done.”

Wen Jianyan nodded and handed over the list back to her.

Xue Mingyan: “Okay, good. Take a rest for a while.”

Wen Jianyan walked toward the chair in the duty room.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded:

【Ding! High-difficulty side quest: Protect NPC Qi Shen in the basement has been completed!】

【Reward Item: Magnetic Identity Card x1】

Wen Jianyan was stunned.

Magnetic ID card?

He sat down, took out his mobile phone, and opened the backpack in the app to check. Sure enough, there was a blood-stained magnetic card in one grid of the backpack. The handwriting printed on it had already been worn away, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.

Who knows what can be opened by it?

Wen Jianyan stared at the phone screen with a thoughtful look on his face.

Time passed little by little, and the hands of the clock moved towards twelve o'clock. During this process, other trainee nurses gradually returned to the duty room. All of them were pale as if they had lost their souls. Who knows what happened with them on the floor they were patrolling——But no matter what, it was definitely not a good thing.

“Deng-Deng—”

The bell struck twelve, marking the arrival of midnight.

Wen Jianyan's gaze swept through the entire duty room without a trace. Compared to when he left, the current duty room was obviously much more empty. There were originally 17 trainee nurses, but now there were only 9 people gathered here.

The number of NPCs and anchors has been reduced to a certain extent, and from some floors, there was not even a single person who has returned.

Xue Mingyan stood up and looked coldly at the remaining people in the duty room in front of her. The corners of her mean mouth were slightly down:

“Why are there so few people who came back? Shouldn't the first round of patrol be over in two hours?”

She frowned and said sarcastically:

“The current interns knew how to be lazy on the first day…”

“The people on the second round of patrol will go up and bring them back to me, did you hear?”

“Yes…”

A sparse response sounded in the duty room.

Xue Mingyan wet her fingers with saliva and lowered her head to flip through the roster of interns in front of her: “Let me see, this time, the basement shouldn't need to be patrolled. In that case, the list of the second round of patrols—

“At this moment, an anchor's trembling voice sounded, breaking the dead silence in the duty room:

“That…”

Xue Mingyan's fingers stopped in mid-air, her eyes narrowed, and she looked up in the direction of the sound.

The anchor who made the sound raised his hand. His face was pale, his chest was still rushing up and down, the nurse uniform on his body was wrinkled, and there were faint dark marks on it; at first glance, it was blood that had not dried up.

Wen Jianyan recalled that this person had been assigned to the second floor in the previous round, the radiology department and the archives room.

There was still fear in the anchor's eyes: “Excuse me, can I choose which floor to patrol?”

Xue Mingyan sneered: “You can't.”

The anchor's eyes darkened instantly. He lowered his hand and began to bite his fingernails nervously.

Wen Jianyan retracted his gaze and listened to Xue Mingyan continuing her assignment:

“You two, fifth floor, you and you, fourth floor…”

Her eyes turned to Wen Jianyan, the gloomy eyes hidden behind the lenses looked at him, sending a chill down his spine.

“You…”

Xue Mingyan glanced around at the remaining people, sighed, and said reluctantly:

“You go to the third floor.”

The moment her voice fell, the anchor who had just raised his hand to ask a question breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the disaster and was glad that it was not him who was sent over.

Wen Jianyan: “……”

Isn't your relaxation too obvious!

The third floor is the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, which was also where Lin Qing used to work.

However, in addition to that, there was one thing Wen Jianyan was very concerned about——

“Am I going alone?” he confirmed.

Xue Mingyan raised her eyelids: “Yes.”

She pointed at the remaining people in front of her with thin fingers: “Look at the number of remaining interns, are there enough to send two people per floor?”

There were a total of nine people including NPCs, and the hospital has five floors excluding the morgue. If each floor was to be patrolled, there would definitely be one unlucky person who would be left alone.

The unlucky person who was left alone: “……”

Okay.

I Understand. You rubbish live broadcast room, you're aiming at me, right?

Xue Mingyan's tone rarely softened a little: “Young man, don't be so afraid. Those strange rumours are all made up to deceive people. We are a serious hospital here. How can something strange like in a movie happen here, don't scare yourself.”

“……”

I'm scaring myself?!

So all the ghosts in the morgue were all my imagination?!

The corners of Wen Jianyan's mouth twitched, and he answered dryly, “Got it, thank you.”

***

The elevator slowly ascended.

The narrow space was very full. Except for the two people on the first floor, the other seven people were all crammed into this small iron box, watching the bright red numbers flashing on the screen.

“Ding——”

When the second floor arrived, Su Cheng and Qi Shen walked out. They reluctantly turned their heads to look at Wen Jianyan who was left in the elevator, waved goodbye to him, and then walked towards the darkness.

The elevator doors closed and it went up again.

“Ding——”

The third floor arrived.

Wen Jianyan's adam's apple moved, and he looked out of the slowly opening elevator door——

This floor was terribly quiet, with the mottled words “Obstetrics and Gynecology” sticking on the glass door above his head. The empty corridor spread into the distance, looking like its edge couldn't be seen at a glance, which made people panic.

He gritted his teeth and slowly stepped out of the elevator.

The rest of the people in the elevator looked at the young man's back, and there was more or less a trace of happiness on their faces.

Thankfully, it wasn't them who were sent to this floor alone.

Patrolling the third floor alone was really terrible.

The elevator door closed behind Wen Jianyan with a soft sound and continued to ascend.

Soon, the buzzing sound of the machinery disappeared, leaving only a suffocating silence.

Wen Jianyan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the app's live broadcast interface, and took a look.

The main task has been updated.

【Main Task: Complete the patrol mission on the third floor within two hours.】

【Degree of Completion: 0%】

【Optional side task refreshed: Find the trainee nurse who was patrolling on the third floor.】

【Degree of Completion: 0/3】

He took a deep breath and looked up.

The corridor in front of him was empty. There was only dead silence in his ears, and he could only hear the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat. Wen Jianyan couldn't help but feel the goosebumps on his back, and the chills rushed up from his feet.

Although Su Cheng is useless in most cases… at least having a person to accompany you is not so bad.

Wen Jianyan sighed deeply.

After all, I'm really scared…
