Panshan Hospital hadn’t just buried her brother; it had buried over a hundred doctors.
So many people died inexplicably without causing a single ripple.
Compared to the ghosts, she hated these capitalists who took her brother’s life even more.
Lu Lu’s gaze fell on the few terrified children of wealthy families around her, her eyes under her long lashes devoid of any fluctuation.
If these people died here, it would save her some effort.
The blond boy was definitely going to die.
The cafeteria lady in front of them was obviously the BOSS of the cafeteria. The blond boy had angered it and violated the cafeteria rules; he wouldn’t live past three seconds.
Those who were still conscious looked away, unable to bear watching the blond boy get eaten.
The cafeteria lady opened her bloody mouth, revealing sharp, chilling teeth, her spectral energy surging.
Just as her mouth was about to touch the blond boy…
Suddenly, the cafeteria lady seemed to be choked by something. Her wide-open mouth slowly returned to its original state, and she looked toward the cafeteria entrance.
Jiang Ning stepped into the cafeteria, wearing a white coat.
The cafeteria lady was confused. “Dr. Jiang, what are you doing here?”
Lu Lu also noticed Jiang Ning.
Compared to the other ghosts in Panshan Hospital, Jiang Ning looked too consistent with human aesthetics.
If not for the clothes and the tone in which the cafeteria lady spoke to Jiang Ning, she would have thought Jiang Ning was originally a human.
Jiang Ning looks so human… is she stronger than the cafeteria lady?
Lu Lu was worried, and another person hiding in the crowd felt her heart leap into her throat.
She was a member of the Ning City Special Guard. She knew the terrors of Urban Legends better than ordinary people and understood the hierarchy of ghosts within them even more clearly.
The cafeteria lady was roughly a C-rank ghost. For Jiang Ning to stop its feeding desire, she could only be a ghost of a higher rank.
With two such terrifying ghosts eyeing this place, could they still have a way to live?
Xu Si’s heart sank as she quietly observed Jiang Ning’s actions.
Jiang Ning spoke simply, not noticing anyone observing her. “It’s lunch time. I’m here to eat something.”
The corner of the cafeteria lady’s mouth twitched, and she said unwillingly, “This is my territory. The time here belongs to me now, and the food belongs to me too.”
As she spoke, she looked back at the trembling humans in their seats, the hunger in her eyes unconcealed.
“If you want to eat, wait for the hunting time tonight.”
Human flesh and blood were not only a delicious delicacy like ambrosia to ghosts but could also enhance their strength.
She wasn’t willing to give it up to Jiang Ning.
Hunting time… The humans who heard this felt even more desperate.
They had struggled to survive until now, only to face a hunting game by ghosts later!
Jiang Ning didn’t react much. Her gaze also fell on… the lunch behind the humans.
The plain hospital meal didn’t look very appetizing, but the cafeteria ghost hadn’t put anything strange in it.
“I just want to eat some simple food. No meat.”
“No meat?” The cafeteria lady was shocked.
How can there be a ghost that doesn’t eat meat?
But apart from meat, she only had some simple dishes for humans left.
Could it be that this ghost in front of me wants to eat those?
The cafeteria lady was confused, but as long as Jiang Ning didn’t fight her for the humans, she could eat whatever she wanted.
She said, “Then eat.”
Jiang Ning walked past the shivering humans, harvesting a pile of melodious Heartbeat Point increase notifications, and arrived at the cafeteria window.
The food at the window was lackluster and unappetizing, but for Jiang Ning, who had just become human, even the simplest food had its merits.
She asked the little ghost responsible for serving food to give her a few dishes, then sat down at a table to eat.
Seeing that Jiang Ning really had no intention of fighting for the humans, the cafeteria ghost finally relaxed its tense nerves. It looked at the blond boy covetously for a while.
The blond boy trembled.
The cafeteria lady really wanted to eat the blond boy, but she thought with her not-so-smart brain.
What if the blond boy’s flesh arouses Jiang Ning’s appetite, and she decides to fight me for food?
Considering this possibility, the cafeteria lady swallowed her saliva regretfully and ordered her subordinates to take the blond boy away and lock him up first.
There would be a midnight snack tonight. She would enjoy this yellow-haired human tomorrow.
Jiang Ning found a seat and sat down.
Xu Kai had to follow her.
At this moment, someone finally saw Xu Kai behind Jiang Ning amidst their fear of impending death and gasped.
Shouldn’t Xu Kai be dead already?
Lu Lu also noticed the unharmed Xu Kai. She observed even more carefully: the wounds on Xu Kai’s body had completely healed.
He didn’t turn into a ghost, nor did he die. What saved him?
How can there be something in an Urban Legend that saves humans?
Xu Kai hid behind Jiang Ning.
He didn’t dare leave Jiang Ning to join the humans, nor did he dare get too close to her, fearing that if Jiang Ning remembered him, she would eat him first.
Facing the gazes of Lu Lu and the others, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Please just treat me as transparent!
He didn’t know how to explain why he was still alive, and he didn’t want anyone to approach him lest they get implicated by him later.
He felt Jiang Ning saving him definitely had ulterior motives.
Xu Kai quietly observed Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning ate very seriously.
The food that Xu Kai found unappetizing seemed delicious to Jiang Ning.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria was silent, so quiet that Jiang Ning could only hear the System broadcasting the Heartbeat Points.
[ Heartbeat Points +1056 ]
[ Heartbeat Points +2467 ]
[ Heartbeat Points +889 ]
[ Heartbeat Points +223 ]
After finishing a meal, Jiang Ning had harvested over ten thousand Heartbeat Points.
The System counted happily in the backend: [ It’s too easy to get Heartbeat Points here! ]
It was a pity they didn’t know earlier that Urban Legends in this world worked like this.
Jiang Ning was very calm. “This is mostly because I was recognized as one of their own by this Urban Legend.”
If she wasn’t next time, how could she get so many Heartbeat Points?
She got so much now simply because the fear humans in this world held toward Urban Legends was carved into their genes.
Moreover, Jiang Ning couldn’t keep chasing Urban Legends.
Most Urban Legends in this world were immobile. If no one accidentally entered, they would just stay in place without any humans inside to provide Heartbeat Points for Jiang Ning.
Running into an Urban Legend that happened to trap quite a few humans this time was just good luck.
The System knew this too and felt it was a pity: [ Then let’s stay here for a few more days. ]
Save up more Heartbeat Points.
Jiang Ning shook her head: [ Let’s see. ]
She felt the food in the Urban Legend wasn’t as tasty as the Jiang family’s.
As for how to obtain Heartbeat Points like today, she already had an idea, so she wasn’t in a hurry to stay here.
Jiang Ning raised her hand and condensed a black ball of light using five thousand Heartbeat Points.
Xu Kai was puzzled.
The ball of light flew toward him. It was so fast that he didn’t even react before it entered his body.
He was startled and immediately checked if he was missing any limbs. Finally, he found a black symbol in the center of his right palm, looking eerie and mysterious.
Xu Kai froze. “What is this?”
A ghost’s prey mark?
