Zuo Si only felt a sudden clarity…!!!
How did he end up here?
Wasn’t he at Ding Ruxiao’s house?
How could he have come to this place?
“Even if someone brought me here, how could I not have sensed anything?”
“Could it be…”
“Ding Ruxiao has a problem???”
“Did she drug me?”
“Hiss…”
Thinking deeply sent chills down his spine; such a beautiful woman suddenly seeking him out must have ulterior motives.
No matter what, he needed to leave this place first.
Zuo Si quickly made his way out; since someone wanted him to stay here, he had to leave immediately.
Moreover, this was the operating room on the second floor!
The light was extremely dim, even darker than the last time he had come!
He could barely see within a meter in front of him.
Having experienced so many terrifying events, Zuo Si’s psychological endurance had risen to a new level.
This time, although he felt fear, he wouldn’t lose his rationality.
He walked very quickly but didn’t run.
The faster he went, the more mistakes he feared making; he was terrified of crashing into a place even more horrifying than Operating Room No. 3!
“Hmm? Why can’t I hear Meng Miaoxue’s voice?”
Zuo Si found it strange, but he didn’t have time to think too much; perhaps it was just that the time hadn’t come yet.
He squinted and carefully observed his surroundings.
Suddenly!
Zuo Si stopped in his tracks, a cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
Ahead, less than half a meter away, four figures stood side by side, blocking the path.
They were dressed in nurse uniforms, motionless, like sculptures, devoid of any vitality.
Zuo Si’s footsteps slowly retreated; he was all too familiar with these four people.
Weren’t they Shen Xia, Xu Qing, Xu Ying, and Fang Ruxin, who were silenced by Lu Liangyuan?
Zuo Si didn’t rashly speak; he didn’t understand why these four would block his way.
Logically, he was their benefactor, having avenged them and exposed Lu Liangyuan’s crimes.
“They have no reason to harm me.”
Faced with the unknown, Zuo Si had no confidence; he didn’t attempt to communicate with these four ghosts.
He still didn’t have the courage to try.
This was too horrifying.
The four figures remained motionless, only their pure white necks reflecting the light from his phone, appearing painfully bright.
Zuo Si thought that if he didn’t provoke them, they wouldn’t provoke him.
But what happened next made his body feel like it had fallen into an ice pit.
The four heads trembled slightly; Zuo Si didn’t want to look but felt compelled to stare at them.
Crack… crack, crack, crack.
The sound of bones breaking echoed in the silent environment, piercingly harsh.
The four dead heads rotated one hundred eighty degrees, staring intently at Zuo Si, their mouths curling into identical smiles.
Suddenly, three of the heads began to chew, and he could clearly see their mouths stuffed with syringe needles.
One by one, the glinting needles pierced through their skin, blood slowly sliding down their cheeks, gradually soaking their yellowed clothes.
Yet their faces showed no signs of pain.
They continued to smile at Zuo Si.
The scene was terrifying to the extreme; even with Zuo Si’s strong heart, he trembled all over.
“Why?”
At that moment, a woman’s voice suddenly whispered in Zuo Si’s left ear.
His pale face slowly turned, revealing a bloodless face…!
“Ah!… Ah!…AAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
The scream of terror echoed throughout the entire hospital.
But it didn’t stop there; the four ghost nurses almost instantly appeared in front of Zuo Si, allowing him to see them chewing on the needles at such close range.
This feeling was utterly crushing.
Zuo Si’s body was lifted by an inexplicable force, and when he was set down again, he found himself on the operating table in Operating Room No. 3.
He wanted to escape but couldn’t move an inch.
He could only watch as the female ghost chewed on the needles while preparing surgical instruments.
“I helped you; you can’t do this to me!”
Zuo Si hoped to awaken these female ghosts’ conscience, wishing to escape.
But no one paid him any mind; Meng Miaoxue’s pale face was almost pressed against his.
Zuo Si could feel the coldness in front of him; his breathing quickened, still hoping to persuade these ghosts to spare him.
He shouted, “Lu Liangyuan has already been caught; I’ve avenged you! Please let me go!”
The pale face gradually pulled away, Meng Miaoxue’s mouth trembled, as if she was trying to suppress a smile.
Zuo Si suddenly felt that this expression was somewhat familiar.
Even more chilling things happened; Meng Miaoxue’s face began to change.
In the end…
It actually transformed into Lu Liangyuan’s appearance…
“Hehehe…” That hoarse, unpleasant laughter was exactly the same as what he had heard at the Police Station.
“W-why is this happening? You were caught!” Zuo Si’s eyes filled with disbelief.
Lu Liangyuan paid him no mind, brandishing a rusty surgical blade towards Zuo Si’s face.
“……”
“Ah!!!” Zuo Si broke into a cold sweat, suddenly waking from his dream. He looked around; it was already bright outside, and he was lying on the sofa.
“Still at Ding Ruxiao’s house…” Zuo Si breathed a sigh of relief, his heart still pounding.
The dream had felt so real that he thought it was actually happening.
But thankfully, it was just a dream…
“I must complete the task as soon as possible!!” Zuo Si suddenly felt the pressure; this dream might have been a warning for him.
“The three-day deadline for the mandatory task is approaching quickly, and I haven’t even been to the haunted house; the money is nowhere to be seen… If I don’t hurry up, I might really die!”
“Moreover, this one-star task is so terrifying; I can hardly imagine what the ‘Crying School’ is like!”
“I must complete all tasks quickly… improve myself, or else, even if I don’t die on this mandatory task, I’ll die on other tasks.”
Zuo Si was racing against time now; he couldn’t afford to waste a single second.
“What’s wrong?” Ding Ruxiao’s voice came from the kitchen as she peeked out, surprised to see Zuo Si.
“Nothing, just had a nightmare.” Zuo Si glanced at the sunlight outside; it was already noon, and he began to pack his things to leave.
At that moment, Ding Ruxiao placed the dishes on the coffee table; today, she wasn’t wearing makeup, dressed in an apron and pajamas.
Compared to yesterday, she seemed like a different person.
Without makeup, she was elegant yet charming, giving off a comfortable vibe.
Zuo Si even felt that this version of Ding Ruxiao was prettier than when she was made up.
However, he had no time to appreciate it; his life was more important.
“Are you leaving?” Ding Ruxiao asked after setting the food, wiping her hands on her apron.
“Mm.” Zuo Si nodded, stepping forward to leave.
“Why not eat before you go? Look at how much I made.” Ding Ruxiao seemed a bit unhappy; it was hard for her to cook, yet no one was there to share it with her.
Gurgle…
Zuo Si’s stomach growled at the perfect moment, and he awkwardly sat back down.
