Bloody Hospital (10): Asking

Before Xia Ruize finished speaking, Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang already understood that they must have encountered the phantoms from the previous night again last night and a battle took place, but their luck was not as good as the day before, and they could not hold on to the end and “died” halfway.

The worst guess came true, and Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang looked very unhappy.

The bald boy at the side listened to the conversation with a sneer, with mockery in his eyes.

The bald boy had no memory of the night for two days in a row. He no longer believed what Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang said. He thought that these two people and Xia Ruize and the other two had teamed up to deceive him.

What the bald boy didn’t notice was that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at him with complicated expressions.

The experience of the bald boy showed another possibility. If the trialer fails to survive the entire battle from the first night and “dies” before falling into a coma, he will have no memory related to the phantom on the new day, and will not be alert in advance at night and have no combat experience.

Therefore, every night was the “first time” to fight against the phantom, and it was very likely that you would not figure out what was going on in this mission world until you died completely one night.

Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang were unable to save their teammate, the bald boy. After a moment of contemplation, they sincerely pleaded with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian:

“Can we team up with you guys tonight? We will follow your orders completely and will never fall behind!”

They could all see that the three-person team was led by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. If they had requested to form a team with a cooperative attitude when they were out for exercise the day before, then today they were requesting to form a team with a completely surrendering attitude.

Facts had proven that the two great gods were much stronger than them. If they didn’t quickly cling to the great gods, they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to survive the night.

To show her sincerity, Wang Huan took the initiative to reveal a piece of information:

“I got a White phantom fragment the night before yesterday, but today I found out that I got nothing last night. The same thing happened to Brother Zhao. We must have killed quite a few White phantoms, so it’s not like there’s not a single treasure chest left. This means that we ‘died’ last night, so we probably can’t get the loot.”

After saying this, Wang Huan looked at Xia Ruize eagerly, her big watery eyes filled with pleading.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, and Xia Ruize replied:

“We need to think about the cooperation and we’ll talk about it when we meet tonight.”

Although Zhao Tonggang and Wang Huan still wanted to fight for it actively, the master had clearly given a time limit for a reply, so they couldn’t continue to pester him and had to leave reluctantly.

The bald boy snorted coldly and left alone. Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang did not try to save the situation. Anyway, the bald boy would know that they were not lying by the evening. The most important thing for them now was to discuss countermeasures for tonight.

Cheng Huaiqian helped Xia Ruize walk to the lawn closest to the administrative building and sat down. Xia Ruize left an illusion of the two of them basking in the sun, and left Gao Hexuan to deal with emergencies. Then he and Cheng Huaiqian, holding on to the illusion, crossed the distance of more than 30 meters blocked by railings and walked into the administrative building for the first time in the daytime.

The administration building was occupied during the day and looked much friendlier than when it was crowded with phantoms at night.

Xia Ruize’s mental power casually scanned the first and second floors, and found nothing special, so the two went directly to the dean’s office on the third floor.

The director’s office was currently empty, as the director of Aardman Hospital, whom the two had been waiting for for a long time, had not yet come to work, but this also made it convenient for the two to act.

Xia Ruize opened the office from the inside. As he walked into the office, the drawers and safe of his desk were automatically opened by invisible hands. The pistol and golden letter of commitment hidden in them flew towards Xia Ruize spontaneously and were truly collected by him.

Cheng Huaiqian jumped up and down and installed several cameras in hidden locations in the office.

They discovered that surveillance cameras produced in the high-tech world have a miraculous effect on spirits. Spirits can affect humans’ memory by affecting their five senses and touch, but have less impact on cameras, so the cameras were able to capture some real images.

After the arrangements were completed, the two were not in a hurry to leave. They were too busy fighting last night to personally explore the office. Now was a good opportunity, so the two of them took action themselves and carefully searched the dean’s office.

When the medical staff downstairs began to greet the patients on the fourth floor to return to the ward, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian left the messy office in a hurry. Anyway, Gao Hexuan would deal with the surveillance that filmed them, and the illusion could easily deceive the people around.

After returning to the ward and obediently “eating” the nutritious meal, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian said that they wanted to take a nap and rest for the whole afternoon, and then they lay down comfortably in front of the nurse.

But in reality, when the nurse left the ward, under the cover of the illusion, the two of them also left the ward together, walked out of the hospital building, and went to the cafeteria that they had not taken care of to investigate.

It was lunchtime and the cafeteria was very busy, but only the chefs and helpers came and went. There was no one eating there because all employees had to eat alone in their own work areas. In fact, it would be more reasonable to name the so-called cafeteria “kitchen”.

After searching twice and finding nothing, the two were feeling depressed. Suddenly, they perked up and rushed out of the kitchen quickly because a black high-end official car stopped in front of the administrative building. The middle-aged man who got out of the car was respectfully addressed as “Mr. Dean” by the passing staff.

If there was anyone in Aardman Hospital who might know some hidden information, the hospital director was the most likely person. Since there were no clues anywhere, go and “ask” in person.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian quickly crossed the garden with a few leaps, and overtook the dean on the second floor of the administrative building while the dean was talking to others, and ambushed into the dean’s office one step ahead.

As they passed each other, the two of them took a good look at the dean, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, short and fat, with a gleam of brilliance hidden in his greasy eyes. He maintained a reserved expression all the way, accepting the respectful greetings from the passing staff, and walked up the stairs without looking around.

But Xia Ruize keenly caught the dean’s eyes lingering on several hot female employees. Those female employees also cooperated by posing seductively and calling the dean “David” in an ambiguous voice.

After taking just two steps, David’s hidden smug expression completely collapsed.

When David stepped into the office and saw the mess, he was completely stunned. He couldn’t believe what he saw. Then he remembered something and subconsciously looked at the safe hidden behind the bookcase. He saw a bookcase lying on its side, and the door of the safe hidden behind the bookcase was wide open, and there was nothing inside.

David’s mind went blank at the sight, his heart almost stopped, he stumbled towards the empty safe, he couldn’t believe what he saw, his office, the safest office, was robbed?! The damn despicable thief also found the safe he had hidden and stole everything?!

“Oh my God! Oh my God, what happened here, David, are we going to…”

The female assistant who walked into the office a step slower was also frightened by the chaotic scene before her. She screamed in a sharp and high-pitched tone.

“Shut up, you damn bitch!” David roared as he stumbled to the safe to confirm that it was really empty, interrupting the assistant’s scream. He turned his head and glared at her fiercely, scolding, “Hurry up and tell the security captain to get over here right now!”

The poor female assistant was frightened by the dean’s ferocious facial expression and bloodshot eyes. She didn’t dare to say a word. She nodded timidly and prepared to leave the office to call for help.

Mobile phones were not allowed in Aardman Hospital. Landlines were required for communication. The assistant’s landline was in the assistant’s room next door.

But when the female assistant turned around, she found that the office door had been closed behind her when neither of them noticed. No matter how she turned the doorknob, she couldn’t open the door.

The female assistant secretly glanced at the dean who was frantically searching every corner as if looking for something important, then turned carefully and walked inside, preparing to call the security team using the phone in the dean’s office.

The female assistant picked up the receiver and found no sound. After checking carefully, she found that the phone line was disconnected.

“What are you doing standing here, you damn idiot? Hurry up and find someone for me!”

Dean David was so angry that he was gasping for breath. Like an enraged bull, he turned around and saw the female assistant standing stupidly in the middle of the office. He was immediately furious. If his legs and feet were not weak, he would have beaten this stupid woman!

“Mr. Dean, the door is locked and the phone line is disconnected…”

The female assistant helplessly showed the broken telephone line in her hand. She was trembling with fear at the director’s rage. It was too terrible. Anyone who offended the director would die. Wouldn’t she be abandoned?

David was stunned again. Xia Ruize who was standing next to him saw it clearly. David, who didn’t know what he remembered, was shaking more and more violently. It was obvious that he was afraid.

What was this director, who seemed to be in a very powerful position and in control of the entire hospital, afraid of at this moment?

Unconvinced, David tried connecting the telephone lines, turning the doorknobs frantically, kicking the door, banging on the window, etc., but he could neither get out of the office nor attract the attention of the people in the garden below the window. He finally realized that he was trapped in his own office, on his own turf.

“Who is it? Who is causing trouble? What do you want?”

David asked loudly and cowardly towards an unknown place. The next second, his eyes went dark and the whole world went dark. The sun outside the window disappeared and turned into a half moon. Noon turned into night in a second.

The female assistant was frightened by this sudden change and shrank back to David’s side.

With a “click”, under the horrified gaze of David and the female assistant, the door that they had failed to open no matter how hard they turned it opened automatically, and a white and bloody phantom floated in from outside the door.

The female assistant was so frightened that she almost fainted, but after seeing these phantoms, David relaxed a little and even raised the corners of his mouth.
