Soul Patch

Chapter 239 A Simpleton

When the mentally ill patients in the corridor ran out to watch, Wenjie took advantage of the chaos and ran to one side of the corridor.

Sure enough, at the corner at the end of the corridor, a staircase was found.

The handrails on the stairs here are all covered with a layer of soft plastic. This puzzled Wenjie. Did the mentally ill patients want to avoid bumping into the metal handrails when walking up the stairs?
They're not little kids, this is hilarious!
He ran out of the building and headed towards the darkness, trying to find a place to hide.

Suddenly, a burly man appeared in the empty area below the building.

Even a fool would know that this is a patch carrier for participating in networked tasks.

He arrived just in time. Wenjie smiled slyly and walked towards the man.

He pulled out his employee ID card to identify himself.

I thought the other party would question me, or at least be wary of strangers.

Those who exchange identities and use items in the system are truly using all sorts of methods to complete the tasks.

But after seeing the work badge, the man actually believed him.

So smoothly!

It surprised me that!

Based on his memory, he told the man Jia Nan's room number, 3125, and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother, you just entered the system and immediately encountered a target, which is me. What do you call that?"

"What?" The burly man scratched his head sheepishly.

Wenjie's eyes lit up, and he patted his arm sharply: "What a coincidence!"

"..."

"Hurry up and kill the murderer! Killing him will contribute at least 60% to completing the mission. 60%!" Wenjie said, squeezing his biceps, "Maybe the system will give you a physical boost!"

After saying this, the tall, burly man immediately ran towards the mental hospital building.

As he went upstairs, he ran into Jia Nan running downstairs at top speed.

Jia Nan could hear from afar that someone was panting heavily as they climbed the stairs downstairs; the panting was comparable to that of an ox.

He was anxious to catch up with Wenjie and didn't want to cause any trouble, so he lowered his head even further.

Turning the corner of the corridor, you'll come face to face with this huge guy. He looks like a moving mountain, with bulging muscles on his back. When he walks, he sways from side to side, as if a tank is running over him.

Jia Nan stopped and moved back a little, wanting the tank to pass first.

The man noticed that the tall, thin man was quite polite, and said in a booming voice, "Thank you."

His voice was loud, and it was quite loud in the echoing hallway.

The hallway lights were motion-activated; the lights were mostly off where Jia Nan walked, while they flickered on and off in the areas where the tank had run over them.

After he said thank you, all the lights on all seven floors of this side of the staircase turned on.

Jia Nan frowned, put her finger to her lips, and gestured for him to be quiet.

Tank was a bit slow-witted, but not stupid; he understood that it meant he should keep his voice down.

He looked up at the tall, thin man in front of him and said, "Okay!"

The sound was a little lower than before, but the lights that had just been turned off all came back on.

Jia Nan shook her head helplessly and ran downstairs.

As soon as Tank reached the third floor, he noticed people in the corridor. He lay in wait at the corner, observing the group's movements: a group of three people were walking towards the other end of the corridor.

After the three people went downstairs, he quietly crept towards room 3125.

When I got to the door of the ward, I was stunned for a moment. Those three people seemed to have come out of this room!
Has the murderer already escaped?

Just as he was hesitating, someone peeked out from 3125... He breathed a sigh of relief; the murderer was still there!

I couldn't help but feel secretly relieved: this online task really went smoothly; when luck comes, you can't stop it! Once I log out of the system, I absolutely have to buy a lottery ticket!
With a swift movement, he gripped the doorframe and launched a fierce attack on the "culprit" inside the ward.

Next, this simpleton suffered his first major setback in this mission.

He was attacked in the groin by a beautiful woman, and the pain made him sit on the ground for ten minutes.

After the beautiful woman mocked him, she disappeared without a trace.

Now he sits alone on the floor of the room, lost in thought.

He had relied on his fists to get through the previous missions.

Time and again, I have been harmed terribly by those who are good at scheming and plotting.

Sometimes, even though he put in a lot of effort, his contribution after clearing the game is not high. Even worse, he might fight through a mission from beginning to end but not get anything at all.

Fortunately, he has a good attitude and is resilient, so he has stubbornly made it this far.

While he was standing in his room in a daze, Jia Nan returned.

Jia Nan ran out and looked around, but couldn't find Wenjie. Instead, she ran into the dean.

Upon seeing Jia Nan, the dean glared at him and yelled, "What are you doing out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Jia Nan glanced at the dean indifferently, then turned and walked towards the east building. She felt very unhappy, with a feeling of resentment that had nowhere to go and was about to explode inside her.

He walked with his head down the whole way, not paying attention to anything else.

When he arrived at the ward door, he was taken aback to find the burly man he had met on his way downstairs sitting in the middle of the room, lost in thought.

Hearing footsteps, the burly man turned around.

I saw Jia Nan standing at the door.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

He glanced at Jia Nan standing outside the door, then at the ward, pondering deeply.

However, he wasn't very perceptive by nature, and seemed to lack a certain understanding in this area. He appeared to be pondering something, but in reality, he hadn't come up with anything.

Jia Nan reacted quickly; his eyes darted around, and he asked, "Where's the woman in the room?"

When he arrived at the door, he expected to see that beautiful woman who only knew how to scream.

Instead of seeing the beautiful woman, they saw this burly man.

Thinking about the scene where that soft girl meets this guy, he felt that the soft girl would most likely be bullied.

At this moment, the man sitting on the ground propped himself up and walked towards him with trembling legs.

Jia Nan looked at the man's walking posture and suddenly wondered if the man had been bullied.
"I don't know, that woman is really fierce! She kicked me!" The man's face twitched as he said angrily.

After saying that, he sighed again. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he couldn't blame the other person. He hadn't understood the situation and had mistaken the other person for the murderer, which led to the misunderstanding.

Looking at the man's frustrated expression and observing his gait, Jia Nan seemed to guess which part of the man the beautiful woman had attacked.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile, "What, are you lusting after her beauty?"

"No...no!" Upon hearing this, the man's face flushed red.

I may be a bit simple-minded, but I never get involved in any shady or criminal activities.

He still has a moral bottom line.

Only then did he belatedly realize that the woman from earlier was quite pretty.

He scratched his head, not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer, and changed the subject like others did, saying, "Um... you're a patient here, do you know where Jia Nan from this ward went?"
