Since Jiang Che had decided to take on the challenge task, there was no point in hesitating.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The quiet staircase echoed with footsteps.

Upon reaching the eighth floor, the temperature in the corridor noticeably dropped.

After all, from this point upward, there were no caregivers.

To be precise, there were no human caregivers, only ghostly caregivers who had been reassigned.

Jiang Che's goal was clear, so he didn't plan to greet the caregivers on other floors.

Soon, he reached the rooftop.

The rooftop was empty, with no sign of anything uncanny.

It was just an ordinary rooftop platform.

It was noon, but the sky was gray and hazy.

Jiang Che wanted to gaze out at the world beyond the hospital ward, but he found he couldn't see anything.

The area around the hospital ward seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, obscuring everything.

"Is this place isolated, or is it just a small part of the Mystic World?"

Jiang Che suddenly became curious about the world outside.

They say the Mystic World is a real world, so why can't anything be seen outside the hospital ward?

Could this be some kind of mechanism?

Jiang Che shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it for now.

Coming to the rooftop during the day yielded nothing, so he would have to return after dark.

The current timeline was three days, with four days remaining.

If he could complete the challenge task, he could end this journey in the Mystic World early.

Just as Jiang Che was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something in the corner.

It was a black smartphone.

"A knockoff..."

There was no item description, but a task notification sounded in his ear.

"Congratulations on obtaining the special item [Evidence]."

"[Wail of the Bloody Night]: Completion progress 50%."

Hiss.

It actually jumped to 50%!

It seemed this knockoff phone was a crucial key item.

Knockoff phones are the best!

He fiddled with it a bit.

But it seemed to be out of battery, unable to even power on.

At that moment, a line of bloody text suddenly appeared in his mind.

[The unknown secrets are hidden in the darkness, but be aware, when you peek into others' secrets, someone might be watching you...]

What does that mean?

Jiang Che frowned slightly, unable to understand the hint from his golden finger.

And just then.

A chill suddenly appeared behind him!

Like a thorn in his back, it instantly made Jiang Che's nerves tense up!

In the face of anything below F-level uncanny, he could strike with full force.

But for anything above F-level, he could only be meek...

"What are you doing here?"

The cold voice of the Head Nurse sounded from behind.

Jiang Che quickly stuffed the phone into his pants and turned around with a smile, saying, "I just came out for some fresh air."

"Fresh air?" The Head Nurse's expression was grim, her nails growing sharp and long.

Jiang Che could feel it.

If his next words were exposed, he would definitely be torn apart by the Head Nurse!

"I've already taken the patient from room 404 back, but you know, the patient from 404 smells terrible, so I just wanted to breathe some fresh air," Jiang Che said.

His right hand, hidden behind his back, tightly gripped a pair of scissors.

The Head Nurse stared intently at Jiang Che.

As if contemplating whether to tear him apart.

After a moment.

The Head Nurse spoke, "Get lost, and stay on the floor you're responsible for."

Feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, Jiang Che quickly agreed and hurried away.

The Head Nurse was indeed the most terrifying.

Never mind her short skirt and black stockings.

The sense of oppression she gave was much stronger than that of the patients in rooms 403 and 404!

Better not provoke her.

The following time was quite peaceful.

The patients in the four wards didn't cause any trouble, and Jiang Che enjoyed the tranquility.

At 6 o'clock, it was time to clock out.

As usual, everyone gathered on the first floor.

However, Jiang Che could sense that there had been some changes among the group.

Everyone deliberately kept their distance from Li Jiahao.

At this moment, Li Jiahao seemed isolated, standing alone in a corner.

The crowd seemed to be angry but didn't dare to speak out.

Soon, the Head Nurse arrived.

No one had any incidents today, and after distributing the envelopes, she left.

Perhaps because he had been caught leaving his post by the Head Nurse, Jiang Che's pay for today was only 20 Spectral Coins...

Seeing this, Li Jiahao sneered and mocked, "You really thought you found some way, huh? Turns out yesterday was just a stroke of luck."

"Good thing I didn't partner with you, loser."

With that, Li Jiahao left.

The remaining group began to grumble.

"If it weren't for him being the class monitor, I would've beaten him up already!"

"Yeah, if he didn't have a knife, would I have given him the money?"

"Why don't we just take it back together?"

"Uh, forget it, I have enough anyway, let that money be dog food."

"......"

Hearing his classmates' discussions, Jiang Che couldn't help but think, damn.

He was robbing the uncanny's money.

Li Jiahao was robbing his classmates' money!

Damn it, why didn't I think of that?

At that moment, someone tugged at Jiang Che's sleeve.

It was Li Xiaoxiao.

Before Li Xiaoxiao could speak, Jiang Che said first, "You saw it too, I only got 20 Spectral Coins today, not enough for myself."

"..., well, okay then." Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head and left dejectedly.

Actually, Jiang Che still had 1080 Spectral Coins, but lending to others... forget it.

Better to buy a few more flashlights.

Back on the fourth floor.

Jiang Che bought another flashlight and some food and water.

He went to the lounge and locked the doors and windows.

Soon, it was 7:30.

Night fell as expected.

And at that moment.

"Beep beep."

The knockoff phone on the table suddenly made a startup sound.

Then, an image appeared on the palm-sized screen.

"The unknown secrets are hidden in the darkness, so this knockoff phone only works at night?"

Recalling the system's hint from earlier, Jiang Che seemed to understand something.

He picked up the knockoff phone to check.

No photos, no contacts, no call records.

Except for a single thirteen-second video, there was nothing else.

He clicked on it.

The video began to play...

In the next second.

Jiang Che's pupils contracted sharply!

His hair stood on end!
