In an instant!

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Every hair on his body stood on end!

"Three years as classmates, and you let me die."

"How heartless you are..."

"Why didn't you save me?"

"Why didn't you save me?"

"WHY!!!"

The voice behind him suddenly tore through the air!

"Snap!"

Jiang Che immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it behind him!

At the same time, he thrust out the hand holding the scissors!

"Ah—!!!"

A sharp sound rang out.

The scissors didn't pierce anything substantial.

But under the beam of the high-power flashlight, a mass of human-shaped black mist twisted and quickly dissipated!

"Jiang Che!"

"Jiang Che!!!"

"Ah—!!!"

In just two or three seconds, the black mist vanished without a trace.

"Phew—" Jiang Che wiped away the cold sweat.

He had no idea when that thing came in.

Damn, that was intense...

If it weren't for the high-power flashlight, who knows what might have happened.

Then, Jiang Che pointed the flashlight at the door.

He approached cautiously.

Through the peephole, he could only see the dark red corridor, nothing else.

So what was the thing that sneaked in last night?

Or did it know I had a flashlight, so it gave up at night?

Jiang Che didn't rush to go out.

Instead, he turned off the flashlight and sat in the corner, continuing to wait.

Being too proactive the first time isn't good.

Better to wait a night and see, or wait for a hint from the golden finger...

Playing it safe is never wrong.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The clock's hands moved normally.

Strangely, nothing unusual happened for a while.

Until 2 a.m.

Jiang Che faintly heard the sound of crying.

It was a woman's sobbing...

At that moment, the task prompt suddenly sounded.

"Challenge task clue obtained—[Whose Crying Is It?]"

"[Wail of the Bloody Night]: Completion progress 10%."

Hmm?

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

He didn't expect that just hearing the crying would directly increase the challenge task progress by 10%.

The progress of the challenge task will be converted into rewards after completion.

The higher the progress, the better the additional rewards.

Of course, if you can directly complete the challenge task, you can not only end the Uncanny Trial early but also receive the highest reward.

Based on the clues obtained now, to continue increasing the challenge progress, he definitely needs to go out and find the crying woman.

But judging from the sound, it doesn't seem to be on this floor.

If he can't determine the location to search, it will be a bit troublesome.

Moreover, the flashlight's battery can only last for 2 hours and 47 minutes.

After going out, this amount of time might not be enough...

The golden finger hint hasn't been triggered either.

So...

Call it a night, sleep!

...

In his dream, Jiang Che saw that prison again...

...

The next day, he woke up at the same time, 6 a.m.

And just as Jiang Che was about to leave, he found a large area at the door stained red.

The ground was covered with dried blood scabs.

He pushed open the door.

The door was full of scratch marks, and there were even a few bloody, fleshy broken nails.

The lower part of the wooden door was also covered in dried blood.

It seemed like someone died here.

"…"

Jiang Che frowned slightly.

'Was it really Luo Mengwei last night?...'

Soon, everyone gathered on the first floor.

The four girls had become three, and the missing one was Luo Mengwei.

The Head Nurse, as usual, complained a bit, then began assigning today's work.

"Room 201…"

"Third floor…"

"The patient in room 404 went to the 8th floor, go bring him back."

"…"

Jiang Che's mouth twitched.

Good grief, even the patients are running away?

But this made Jiang Che notice something else.

Now there were only six caregivers left.

They were on floors 2-7, and the students originally assigned to above the 7th floor had all been eliminated...

The hospital building had fourteen floors in total; could it be that the higher the floor, the more dangerous it is?

After the tasks were assigned, the students went their separate ways.

But Li Jiahao still came over to say something to Jiang Che.

"If you have money, lend me five hundred Spectral Coins, and I'll pay you back ten thousand yuan when we get out, or we can cooperate."

"I can protect you, last night I killed an Uncanny!" Li Jiahao gritted his teeth.

Jiang Che was slightly surprised.

But after seeing the greed and madness in the latter's eyes, he still shook his head: "I'll think about it."

Li Jiahao: "Jiang Che, it's the third day! You don't have much time to think!"

Seeing Jiang Che leave without looking back, Li Jiahao was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

Then he didn't go to his floor but instead found the lone Li Xiaoxiao.

Just as Li Xiaoxiao was about to start cleaning.

Suddenly, a knife was pressed against her fair neck.

"Give me all your Spectral Coins!"

"Class, class monitor, don't get excited, I can accompany, accompany you..."

"Don't damn well waste words with me!"

An emotional Li Jiahao's hand trembled, and a blood mark immediately appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's neck.

"Trash has no right to negotiate with me, give me the Spectral Coins!"

...

Arriving at his floor.

Jiang Che took out the large scissors and headed for room 401.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, scaring the three patients inside into a shiver!

"Ca-caregiver brother, what's wrong?" Gu Ya was so scared her head fell off.

"I heard you were very dissatisfied with my service the day before yesterday?" Jiang Che looked at Gu Ya with ill intent.

"Who, who said that!"

Gu Ya quickly picked up her head, trembling as she said, "Ca-caregiver brother works so hard, how could I not give a good review?"

"Don't damn well play dumb with me, the Head Nurse already told me!"

Jiang Che couldn't be bothered to bicker with Gu Ya.

He went up and started stabbing.

After all, dealing with them, authority comes first.

Seeing Gu Ya turned into a pincushion, the other two patients cowered in the corner, trembling with fear.

"Too, too scary."

"I want to go home, mommy, I want to go home..."

"Cough cough... stop, stop stabbing..." Gu Ya kept coughing up blood, weakly saying, "I, I won't dare anymore."

"The Head Nurse is my sister, and you dare to complain to her about me?" Jiang Che widened his eyes and said.

In fact, Gu Ya hadn't complained that day.

She just said the service was average, which resulted in Jiang Che's original 200 Spectral Coins becoming 100.

Now hearing Jiang Che say the Head Nurse is his sister, the three patients' fear of Jiang Che instantly magnified infinitely!

No wonder this caregiver is so fierce, turns out he's got connections...

After Gu Ya recovered, Jiang Che said coldly, "Come over and lick it clean for me!"

"Mm-hmm!"

For these Uncanny who initially wanted to eat him, there was no need to show any mercy.

At the same time, Jiang Che also verified one of his suspicions.

Patients can't be killed, at least not in their rooms.

Referencing yesterday's faceless ghost.

Normally, Gu Ya, who isn't even F-level, should have been obliterated after being stabbed like that.

"Hiss! Watch your teeth! You nicked me!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

Then, Jiang Che asked, "Who was crying last night? Crying so loudly in the middle of the night, what do you want?"

The three of them froze.

They all looked at Jiang Che, their faces filled with terror.

Gu Ya even forgot her main task!

However, Jiang Che could feel that their sudden fear wasn't directed at him.

It was from the "crying"!

From deep within their souls!

At that moment, the task prompt sounded in his ear.
