"Challenge Task Clue Obtained—[Fear]"

"[Wail of the Bloody Night]: Completion Progress 20%."

The progress increased again.

However, when Jiang Che wanted to ask Gu Ya what exactly they were afraid of, they "forgot"...

It was fear that made them refuse to recall the crying, not even daring to mention it.

When asked, they would show a look of terror, as if they had "crashed."

Once they recovered, they forgot everything that had just happened and went about their business as usual.

It seemed unlikely to get any clues from them.

So, Jiang Che went to room 402, but the result was the same.

Then, Jiang Che made a cup of coffee, added some glass shards, and went to room 403.

After enjoying the special coffee, the patient in 403 once again fell into a state of ecstasy.

Her reaction to Jiang Che's questions was different from those in 401 and 402.

The woman slumped in the chair, sweating profusely.

She looked at Jiang Che and said, "You'd better not get involved in this. I still want to have more coffee."

"Why?" Jiang Che asked.

The woman replied, "The Head Nurse will kill you."

"This has something to do with the Head Nurse?"

"…"

The woman closed her eyes and stopped answering.

With no answers, Jiang Che had to leave the room.

Today's task was to go to the 8th floor and bring back the patient from room 404.

"Complete the basic task first, then continue investigating the challenge task clues."

After making up his mind, Jiang Che walked to the elevator.

At this moment, blood-red words appeared.

[I'm so hungry, so hungry... In this narrow space, they surely can't escape, right?]

Jiang Che: "..."

Alright, I'll take the stairs.

Although the stairs were dark and damp, people used them every day, so there wasn't much danger.

At least there were no major problems from the 1st to the 7th floor.

However, just as Jiang Che reached the sixth floor, a figure suddenly jumped out!

"No, no, no, no, no!"

"It's me! Zhou Fu!"

Looking at the large scissors close at hand, Zhou Fu's face turned pale with fright.

"Ah Fu?" Jiang Che put away the scissors and took a few steps back.

"You damn near scared me to death. I thought you were a ghost!"

Zhou Fu rolled his eyes, "Who's scaring who here? I was waiting for you on purpose!"

"Something up?" Jiang Che asked.

"Isn't your task today to go to the 8th floor to find a patient?"

"Remember not to go to the public restroom on the 8th floor. Xiao Jun was killed in the restroom before," Zhou Fu said.

Xiao Jun was originally a caregiver on the 8th floor but had already been eliminated.

"How do you know?" Jiang Che asked.

Zhou Fu replied, "I was close with Xiao Jun. We agreed to help each other. The day before yesterday, after he helped me complete a task, we went to the 8th floor to do his task."

"As a result, Xiao Jun went to the restroom and was cut into pieces by something inside."

"After Xiao Jun was resurrected, before exiting the challenge, he told me there's something uncanny in there that asks if you want red paper, yellow paper, or white paper when you're on the toilet... He chose white paper, and then he was gone."

"I'm just reminding you," Zhou Fu said.

Jiang Che nodded, "Thanks."

Just as Jiang Che was about to leave, Zhou Fu added, "Hey, Jiang Che! Was that pair of scissors just now a Taboo Object?"

In that instant, he was almost scared to death.

Jiang Che didn't answer directly, only saying, "Not sure."

"Then, if you can, could you help me out once?" Zhou Fu stated his purpose.

However, his face was already red, as he wasn't particularly close to Jiang Che.

Jiang Che shrugged and smiled, "I'll do my best. See you."

When he reached the seventh floor, as expected, he ran into Li Jiahao again.

The latter said the same things, and Jiang Che brushed him off as usual.

It's not that he couldn't cooperate, but he couldn't cooperate with this class monitor.

Everyone knows that class monitors are generally quite... something.

...

Arriving on the 8th floor, the lighting was still dim, and the layout was the same on every floor.

However, perhaps because the caregiver on this floor had been eliminated, it seemed particularly deserted.

Jiang Che started searching room by room.

After all, it wasn't specified where the patient from room 404 was, or even what they looked like.

But soon, Jiang Che discovered that he couldn't enter the rooms with patients on the 8th floor.

He couldn't even open the doors.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

"Where did this trash come from, stay away from my patients!"

Turning around, Jiang Che saw a figure in a white coat, but with only half a head, appearing at the front desk.

He glared at Jiang Che fiercely, his single eye bulging and bloodshot.

'The caregiver of the 8th floor?'

Seeing that the other party made no further moves, Jiang Che smiled and asked, "Hello, caregiver brother, I'm a caregiver from the 4th floor. The Head Nurse said my patient ran up to your floor, and I'm here to take them back..."

The Ghostly Caregiver impatiently said, "The patient from room 404, right? They're in the restroom, hurry up and take them away!"

Jiang Che: "Okay, okay."

"Be careful not to become their food!" the Ghostly Caregiver sneered.

Jiang Che waved his hand, "Let's just hope they've already eaten their fill in the restroom."

Eaten their fill?

Have you ever seen a ghost say they're full from eating people?

How happy would that be?

The Ghostly Caregiver sneered inwardly.

But then he realized.

Eating their fill in the restroom... Why does that sound so strange?

By this time, Jiang Che had already walked away.

...

Now, Jiang Che didn't know if he was just unlucky or really unlucky.

Despite Ah Fu's warning, his patient was indeed in the restroom.

How absurd...

Entering the men's restroom, there was nothing particularly unusual.

He even looked around and didn't find a single person.

At this moment, a prompt appeared.

[Aren't you here to take a dump? Go ahead and take a dump!]

Jiang Che: ???

What kind of bizarre operation is this?!

But the System's prompts have never been wrong. Suppressing his helplessness, Jiang Che could only randomly pick a stall and pretend to squat.

After just a few minutes, the restroom lights suddenly flickered.

Then, footsteps sounded outside.

The footsteps stopped at the door.

"Heh heh heh..."

A creepy laugh echoed, and the restroom was filled with a chilling wind!

Immediately after, a withered hand holding three different colored papers slipped in under the door.

Red paper, yellow paper, white paper...

At this moment.

Jiang Che stomped on the wrist!

A twisted smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Juvenile, do you want red paper, yellow paper, or white paper?"

Outside the door: "???"

The eerie wind came to an abrupt halt.

What the hell?

This,

Isn't this supposed to be my line?
