The Head Nurse was undoubtedly the most terrifying presence in the building.

All the patients feared her.

However, just when Jiang Che thought it was over for him, the Head Nurse spoke, "Get back to your assigned floor."

"Oh, oh, I'm going back now." Jiang Che hurriedly walked out.

After Jiang Che left, the Head Nurse suddenly revealed a sinister smile.

She slowly opened a drawer.

Inside, she took out a blood-stained dagger.

Her favorite mode had begun...

...

Back at the elevator, the four uncanny presences from earlier had disappeared.

There were no signs of a struggle left behind.

In the first-floor lobby, Li Jiahao and the other three were gathered together, each looking grim.

"I wonder how Jiang Che is doing," Zhou Fu said worriedly.

"What should we do now? After dark... we won't survive, right?" Jin Yudi said, her face pale.

Zhou Fu, usually smiling, now spoke seriously, "I think we should wait a bit longer and see what Jiang Che has to say."

Li Jiahao forced a smile, "Don't count on Jiang Che. He went to the morgue; we don't even know if he'll make it back alive."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions grew even more somber.

However, Li Jiahao continued, "Who would have thought we'd hit such a low probability of mutation? Although it's dangerous, if we can complete it..."

Li Jiahao's eyes started to gleam.

"The rewards will be better."

"Are you really crazy?" Zhou Fu looked at Li Jiahao in surprise and said, "Nightmare Mode is no joke. For us new challengers, the death rate is nearly 100%."

"But I have no choice..." Li Jiahao said.

"I had to take your Spectral Coins, but if I make it back alive, I'll compensate you all."

"Class monitor, you'll really die..." Li Xiaoxiao also tried to persuade.

Just then.

"Ding-dong~"

The elevator doors opened.

Jiang Che walked out.

The four of them immediately gathered around him.

"Jiang Che, did you find anything?"

"What should we do tonight?"

In an instant, everyone treated Jiang Che as the core, regardless of whether he was willing...

Jiang Che shrugged and said, "If I didn't have a revival chance, I'd definitely quit."

"After all, no zuo no die~"

This was Jiang Che's honest thought.

He couldn't possibly say: Don't worry, with me here, we'll sail through.

Although Jiang Che had some confidence in completing the challenge task this time.

But that didn't mean he could promise anything to others.

He had no obligation, nor could he bear that responsibility.

The four exchanged glances.

In the end, Jin Yudi and Zhou Fu chose to quit.

Now only Jiang Che, Li Jiahao, and Li Xiaoxiao remained.

"Are you really courting death?" Jiang Che asked.

Li Xiaoxiao bit her lip and nodded.

Li Jiahao, well, he was a madman.

Seeing this, Jiang Che said, "Alright, then let's work together tonight."

"But let me be clear, this is your own choice."

"Life and death are fated, wealth is in the heavens."

The two nodded.

Time moved to 6 PM.

The Head Nurse, who was supposed to distribute wages, did not appear.

The entire inpatient building fell into a deathly silence.

On the fourth floor, they were shocked to find all the patients missing.

The eight patients from rooms 401-404 were all gone.

The same situation occurred on other floors.

Whether patients or ghostly caregivers, they had all vanished without a trace.

It seemed like only the three of them were left in the entire building.

This meant the murderer's target was even clearer...

The deep chime of a bell rang out, and night fell.

Gradually, a red glow appeared in the night sky.

The entire building was bathed in crimson.

Walls peeled, decay ran rampant, and blood vines grew wildly.

Everything was filled with the scent of death.

...

In the fourth-floor lounge.

Li Jiahao, gripping his knife tightly, suddenly said, "As long as we work together, I believe there's still a chance."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.

Jiang Che also nodded.

The blood night finally descended, and time seemed to stretch endlessly.

Their taut nerves couldn't relax, not until 1:45 AM.

At that moment.

Footsteps sounded outside...

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Something started knocking on the door.

"Open the door." The Head Nurse's icy voice came from outside.

"Everyone should be in their own room at night, not together. Open the door!"

"Thud, thud, thud!"

"Open the door!!!"

The voice suddenly turned sharp.

Like a blade scraping against glass!

Jiang Che cursed under his breath; there were still fifteen minutes until the crying was supposed to start at 2 AM!

But the Head Nurse had already begun to act!

Fifteen minutes, could they hold out?

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The Head Nurse started pounding on the door.

The battered door began to crack.

It wouldn't be long before the Head Nurse broke in.

At this moment, Li Jiahao suddenly said, "In a moment, you two run, I'll hold off the Head Nurse!"

"Can you do it?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Jiahao: "What else can we do?"

Jiang Che patted Li Jiahao's shoulder, "Lu has Grandpa's protection, nothing to worry about."

Just then.

"Crack!" A dagger pierced through the wooden door.

"Run!" Li Jiahao shouted, charging towards the door first.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed open.

Behind it, the decayed and unrecognizable Head Nurse appeared before them.

At the same time, Li Jiahao really raised his knife and charged!

Jiang Che and Li Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to run out.

However...

Just as Li Xiaoxiao was feeling sorry for the class monitor.

The latter turned his blade.

And directly chopped off Li Xiaoxiao's calf!

"Ah—!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed.

In Li Xiaoxiao's terrified and complex gaze, Jiang Che's figure ran further and further away.

Following closely behind Jiang Che was Li Jiahao...

"I have a knife, I can protect you."

"In a moment, you two run, I'll hold off the Head Nurse."

"What else can we do?"

"…"

Every word Li Jiahao had said flashed through Li Xiaoxiao's mind.

She couldn't believe it.

The class monitor had actually cut off her leg!

At this moment, Jiang Che's shout snapped Li Xiaoxiao out of her shock.

"Quick, exit!!!"

Li Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted sharply!

'Exit...'

"Crack!"

Li Xiaoxiao didn't have time to exit.

Her head was twisted off by the Head Nurse...

In death, her face still bore an expression of disbelief.

Without any revival chances.

This time, she was truly dead.

...
