“Then call another person.”
Hearing this, Xu Kai felt as if granted amnesty and let out a sigh of relief.
He didn’t know the situation in the dormitory building, but the occasional screams drifting over while he peeled walnuts didn’t let him have any hope for the situation there.
Xu Kai couldn’t help asking, “Am I not tasty to you?”
Jiang Ning looked at Xu Kai in surprise.
Does this guy know what he’s saying?
The System’s mood became subtle too.
This human really isn’t afraid of death.
Xu Kai wasn’t unafraid of death. In fact, he regretted asking the moment the words left his mouth, but spoken words couldn’t be taken back. Ghosts wouldn’t reason with him.
He could only brace himself and wait for the sentence.
Jiang Ning finally said, “I’m not hungry right now.”
Even if she were hungry, she didn’t want to eat this stuff.
When she was a Survival BOSS, she had no interest in humans.
However, scaring people was her instinct, so she wouldn’t directly tell Xu Kai, “Don’t worry, I won’t eat you.” If necessary, she would even scare Xu Kai at appropriate times.
Xu Kai was indeed scared by this sentence. He slightly regretted suggesting Jiang Ning call someone else.
He thought to himself, If Jiang Ning wants to eat people, then let her eat me first. I can’t harm others.
Jiang Ning didn’t know what Xu Kai was thinking. Her current body was weak and had just triggered an old injury. Now she yawned twice, feeling a bit sleepy.
“We’ll talk after I wake up. You keep peeling. I’m going to rest for a while.”
Xu Kai was just about to nod when Jiang Ning vanished before his eyes the next second.
He looked at the door, then looked down at the mark in his palm, and resignedly continued peeling walnuts.
The situation in the Panshan Hospital dormitory building was indeed not good.
During the nap, there were eleven people who entered, and now only eight remained.
Lu Lu was also injured.
Nap time ended, and the surviving people came out of their rooms one after another.
Lu Lu’s room was right next to Bai Qianqiu’s.
“What did Xu Kai give you just now?”
Bai Qianqiu was surprised for a moment. “You were watching us in the cafeteria just now.”
To be able to observe her and Xu Kai at that time, Bai Qianqiu didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.
Finally, curiosity gained the upper hand. “Why were you watching us?”
She knew Lu Lu wasn’t as fragile and simple as she appeared, but she didn’t expect Lu Lu to target her.
There were only the two of them here.
Lu Lu didn’t want to pretend anymore. Her gaze was cold. “Show me the thing Xu Kai gave you.”
Bai Qianqiu immediately thought of that paper.
Lu Lu didn’t know Xu Kai, so naturally, she couldn’t have had any interaction with him before. Excluding the relics Xu Kai left for his parents, only that paper with the Panshan Hospital death list remained.
“You…”
Bai Qianqiu hesitated.
“It’s just a piece of paper. If you want to see it, I can give it to you, but you can’t show it to others.”
The yellowed paper landed in Lu Lu’s hand.
She saw her brother’s name. Her jaw clenched, and tears flashed in her eyes.
Brother is really dead.
The last shred of hope in her heart completely vanished. She memorized those names expressionlessly and returned the paper to Bai Qianqiu.
She wouldn’t let the person in charge of Panshan Hospital go.
Never.
Bai Qianqiu sighed. “Let’s go downstairs first.”
Ten minutes after nap time ended, they couldn’t stay here anymore.
Lu Lu suddenly asked, “Do you think my brother is among the ghosts in this hospital?”
Bai Qianqiu froze.
Why would she think that?
Bai Qianqiu looked at the expressionless Lu Lu, a chill rising in her heart.
“Ghosts in Urban Legends are just a bunch of monsters, not transformed humans.”
When Urban Legends first appeared, many humans thought those ghosts were their deceased relatives and even wanted to resurrect them.
Some even raised ghosts, tricking innocent people into Urban Legends to feed them so they would grow.
Even now, there was no shortage of such lunatics.
Bai Qianqiu was afraid Lu Lu would also lose her mind and become such a lunatic.
“Don’t…”
Lu Lu laughed. The laughter carried three parts mockery and seven parts indifference, interrupting Bai Qianqiu.
“What I do is none of your business.”
“Dog of the powerful.”
Being scolded like this, Bai Qianqiu frowned, looking at Lu Lu’s back, feeling very uncomfortable.
She knew Lu Lu’s remark was sarcasm about the Special Guard only managing the city center and ignoring places outside it.
But the Special Guard was like this because they couldn’t handle it and lacked the strength to do so.
If possible, who wanted people to die?
The number of deaths in the Special Guard every year wasn’t much less than elsewhere; in fact, it might be more because they always needed to enter Urban Legends proactively.
Just like this Panshan Urban Legend—her teammates who entered with her died trying to save people.
But… was it really like that?
Bai Qianqiu suppressed the wavering in her heart and slowly went downstairs.
She was actually a child from the mountains too, but that was a long time ago. Since awakening her ability at six, she had been raised in the city.
Her memories of her parents were even a bit blurry.
Downstairs, seeing everyone present, the ghost revealed a satisfied smile.
“To maintain the patients’ good psychological state, we often hold activities. Today, let’s play hide-and-seek.”
“Before dinner, don’t get caught by us, or there will be punishment.”
The ghost looked at everyone with a smile. It didn’t state the content of the punishment, but no one thought it would be anything easy.
Someone suffered a mental breakdown on the spot and started crying loudly.
The atmosphere quieted down.
The hide-and-seek ghost looked at the crying person expressionlessly and waved its hand. “This patient has had an episode. Take her to Dr. Jiang.”
A person was taken away, probably never to return.
The shadow of death loomed over everyone’s heart.
The ghost said with great interest, “Everyone can find a place to hide, but it’s best not to go near the outpatient building.”
“Otherwise…” It laughed gloatingly. “The nurses and doctors there will definitely treat everyone well.”
Bai Qianqiu looked at Lu Lu’s back, unable to understand what Lu Lu was doing.
She barely suppressed her worry.
It should be fine. Lu Lu is an Awakened after all.
Lu Lu was taken to the door of Jiang Ning’s office.
The faceless ghost knocked on Jiang Ning’s office door.
Xu Kai hesitated, then went to open the door.
At the sight of Lu Lu, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Why would someone come here?
Seeing Xu Kai, Lu Lu felt reassured.
Xu Kai is indeed alive. It wasn’t in vain that I found a way to come here.
“This patient is sick.” The ghost threw Lu Lu to Xu Kai, eyeing him covetously while warning Lu Lu, “Don’t run around. This is Dr. Jiang’s territory.”
Lu Lu glanced coldly at the ghost.
The ghost had no reaction to her emotions and didn’t notice any problem with her behavior. It looked at Lu Lu with desire a few times, then closed the door and left.
Xu Kai was about to comfort Lu Lu and tell her not to be afraid when she spoke first.
Lu Lu got straight to the point: “Where did you find your death list?”
Death list?
Xu Kai was stunned. “Panshan Hospital’s death list?”
“Why do you ask?”
