Chapter 23 Bloodstained Hospital (2)

The blood on her face hadn't dried completely, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, suggesting she had just eaten someone.

His smile seemed warm, but his eyes were lifeless, making him look like a zombie boss.

"Oh dear, my good child, you have to be good." The nurse approached slowly, her voice as gentle as if coaxing a child. "Go back to bed and stay put. Being obedient makes you a good child. Let me check if there's anything wrong with your body."

An Jing looked at her, without moving or making a sound.

System: [Huh? You're pretty calm, aren't you?]

I was terrified when I was at the villa.

"Don't say anything, I'm watching to see what she's up to."

Aren't you afraid?

"I don't feel that scared. Could she be an E-level mystery, which is lower than F-level? She seems quite weak."

Are you serious? This is a Class D Mystery?

"Your jokes are getting less and less funny, system."

The dog is just joking with you.

The system was dumbfounded.

Why don't you believe me, girl?

Hearing this, An Jing was dumbfounded.

"Ber, why is she only a D-rank? Aren't all those mysterious figures in the villa stronger than her?"

"Can you even compare them? Those F-rank mysteries who chased you before were just disgusting in appearance and had high combat power, but they had no intelligence. Didn't you see the Lamplighter cutting them down one by one like watermelons? You think you're strong just because you're weak. This mysterious nurse has intelligence."

"So what does she want to do now?"

System: [She wants to eat your brain.]

"Can you be a little more tactful, system?"

The system, in a serious tone: "This is a scientific and concise expression."

The nurse had already walked up to her, looked down at her, and saw the reddish-black liquid in her eyes that looked like congealed blood.

"Does your head hurt? Let me take a look~"

She stretched out her hand, her fingers thin and long like withered twigs, painted with pink nail polish. One of her nails was broken, diagonally embedded in her flesh, but she clearly didn't care.

An Jing tilted his head and looked at her expressionlessly.

The nurse blinked, somewhat confused.

"Aren't you... a little slow?" she probed. "Shouldn't you have started crying, started struggling, and then I'd bite your brain off?"

An Jing: "..."

Is this what you call having intelligence?
Isn't this the epitome of a naive and innocent character in the world of mystery?
An Jing: "Are you sure this behavior pattern is classified as Level D?"

System: [Confirmed. She is a standard psychopathic creature of the mental pollution type, with low intelligence. She mainly relies on verbal manipulation and emotional control to induce hallucinations in her targets or make them actively approach her, thereby consuming their brain tissue.]

"Say that again?" An Jing glanced at the nurse. "Mental pollution? But I look at her like she's an idiot."

The nurse was still trying to comfort her: "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, I really won't make it hurt too much. I'm very skilled, I'll just poke your head and you won't know anything~"

As she spoke, she actually pulled a blood-stained syringe out of her pocket.

An Jing's expression gradually froze and then crumbled.

What kind of people are she bewitched by?

System: [I'm also a little surprised, how come you're completely unaffected?]

"Is it you again?"

System: [Don't blame everything on me!]

There was a three-second pause. The system hesitated, then seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh... I remember now."

"what?"

Do you remember the last time you did a 10-pull?

“I remember.” An Jing said expressionlessly, “Besides the paper umbrella sister, shadow walking, there are also things like glass bottles, exorcism talismans, Ouija board simulations, etc., but there are no five-star cards.”

[...that's not the point.]

[The important thing is, I seem to have forgotten to tell you, each card draw grants a corresponding number of body enhancement points, randomly allocated to dimensions such as strength, speed, and mental power.] An Jing raised an eyebrow: "Don't tell me..."

System: [So last time you did a ten-pull, you were very lucky; all ten points were randomly added to your mental strength. You already have relatively stable emotions and high mental strength, and now it's more than half the level of a normal person.]

"..."

The air suddenly fell silent for two seconds.

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?!

The system retorted in a second: "[I have so many things to manage, how could I possibly remember everything?! You should be secretly happy!]"

An Jing suddenly realized why she seemed to be able to block out mental pollution.

The same thing happened at the villa last time; she felt she was a little too calm from beginning to end.

This time was no different. This psychic-type mystery had no effect on her at all. A normal person would have experienced hallucinations or an emotional breakdown by now, but she just stood by and watched the nurse's performance, as if she were an idiot.

Have a moment of sympathy for the nurse.

Her mental strength was so high that she was directly immune to the opponent's low-level contamination.

"So, does that mean I can fight her head-on?" An Jing rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

I suggest you stick with the card. Don't overestimate yourself; your injury hasn't healed yet.

"I feel almost fully recovered, and now I'm feeling incredibly excited."

She whispered, and while the nurse was rambling on and about to approach, she took out the paper umbrella.

"Go for it, Paper Umbrella Sister!"

The nurse finally showed a hint of surprise: "How could you..."

"Your smile looks awful."

An Jing finally blurted out this sentence.

Even if a mysterious creature looks human, it's still not good-looking.

The woman with the paper umbrella walked out of the car gracefully. Because An Jing's mental strength was too high, she was completely unaffected by the nurse's mysterious influence.

The nurse gritted her teeth, staggered backward, and fear appeared in her eyes for the first time.

She saw in An Jing's eyes not the mental derangement or collapse of a contaminated person, but an extremely clear-headed...calmness.

"How come you haven't gone crazy yet?"

Why would I go crazy?

The nurse let out a strange cry, her mouth suddenly splitting open to her ears, and a sticky, blackish-red tongue, several centimeters long, flicked out and coiled around An Jing.

"The Paper Umbrella Girl!"

Sensing that her host was about to be attacked, the woman with the paper umbrella lightly jumped, using her red umbrella to block the nurse's tongue, and then deftly thrust forward, pressing the tip of the umbrella into the nurse's mouth, pinning her to the wall.

An Jing couldn't help but sigh, "My Paper Umbrella Sister is still the prettiest."

The woman with the paper umbrella seemed to understand and even smiled at An Jing.

It seems the girl with the paper umbrella quite likes your compliments.

"Does the woman with the paper umbrella possess wisdom?"

The cards grow stronger and more intelligent as their owner develops. The more powerful you are, the stronger they become.

"If the pollution level reaches its limit, I'll be doomed too."

That's true.

The woman with the paper umbrella gracefully trapped the nurse, awaiting An Jing's next command.

An Jing said softly, "Kill it."

The nurse's eyes widened instantly, and she began to shed bloody tears. However, because her mouth was covered, she seemed to be saying something but couldn't speak. In the end, the woman with the paper umbrella slit her throat.

What is she trying to say?

"It is extremely rare for a wise and mysterious person to recall things from their previous life before they die. She said that she would rather be a dog than a nurse in her next life."

"That's true."
