Chapter 24 Bloodstained Hospital (3)

The woman with the paper umbrella tossed the nurse's mysterious corpse into a corner, treating it like a bag of non-recyclable waste.

An Jing looked at that face covered in blood and tears, but didn't show any particular emotion.

Let me put it this way, the horror movies she usually watches are all bloodier than this.

Taking a deep breath, An Jing asked the system:
"System, did I just accumulate some more gacha pulls?"

"Yes." The system's tone was quite pleased, like a shrewd bank customer service representative. "You've had six attempts now: one to kill a D-rank Mystic, and one to subdue a B-rank Mystic. Keep it up! You only need four more attempts to reach the guaranteed reward."

"Pah! Don't say such unlucky things. What guarantee? I'm all gold, okay?"

After getting the gacha system, An Jing couldn't stand such unlucky words anymore.

【okok, pshaw, pshaw.】

An Jing flexed his wrists, then glanced at the corpse on the ground, which was beyond dead. "By the way, are there many of these D-level mystical creatures in this magnetic field?"

System: [How should I know? It wasn't me who generated the mysterious magnetic field.]

"Do you know this just because you generated it?"

[Of course, you'll encounter this later. Some mysterious magnetic fields have a lord; you need to kill the lord to completely resolve the magnetic field. Let me give you a spoiler.]

Do you think I have a future?

[Bah, bah, bah! 】

"."

Too lazy to continue arguing with the system, An Jing decided to wander around the magnetic field.

The gacha pull is imminent.

I glanced down the corridor; it was still empty. In the oppressive, damp, and cold air, there were some restless noises, as if they were haunting me from somewhere.

She frowned: "...But to be honest, I am a little anxious right now and want to kill a few more as soon as possible."

【……ha?】

"Like you said, I'm connected to magnetic fields now, aren't I? Since I can't be an ordinary person anymore, shouldn't I hurry up and become stronger?"

She spoke slowly but clearly, “This life was saved by 001 and the others at the cost of their lives. Even if it wasn’t for them, I can’t die so casually.”

The system was silent for two seconds, then An Jing heard the sound effect of electronic fireworks in his mind:
I really have to give you a thumbs up, girl. Your awareness is amazing!

Sure, he thought he had been tied to an incredibly laid-back woman and that he would have to do a lot of mental work with her.

I didn't expect her to have figured it out herself!

The system breathed a sigh of relief, then began to encourage: "[You're right, taking this opportunity to explore is a good chance. If you encounter something weak, fight it; if you encounter something strong, run. Don't you have shadow teleportation? If you can't beat them, run; if you can, fight them to the death.]"

"You just want me to cause trouble," An Jing complained.

Don't be so direct... I'm helping you grow, okay? Our journey with gacha pulls is long and arduous.

She stopped arguing with it and put the paper umbrella girl into the card.

An Jing initially thought this system was an honest and upright guy, but after spending time with it, he felt...

This is a living, breathing person, and one of those repressed, secretly passionate individuals.

I glanced at the empty corridor.

Hospital wards are never crowded places, and with the added influence of the magnetic field, it now feels like an empty shell. It's so quiet that you can only hear your own breathing and the soft patter of your footsteps on the disinfectant residue on the floor tiles.

She looked down at the ground; the black blood left by the nurse was slowly evaporating, and a faint green light appeared in the air.

The nurse's body was slowly disappearing.

System: [Be careful, don't let your guard down.]

“I know.” An Jing looked around warily.

The corridor was deathly silent. An Jing stood still, her gaze slowly sweeping over her surroundings. At the end of the corridor were the green double doors for emergency medical services, with a crumpled "Do Not Lean" sign pasted beside them. To the right was the nurses' station, but it was long gone, with only an ear thermometer lying forlornly on the floor.

On the left and right sides are rows of ward doors.

The color and pattern of each door have changed; they are no longer the common off-white and numbered markings, but have become strange, dark patterns. Some doors appear to have been corroded, with raised, water-like ripples appearing on their surfaces.
Some have a fleshy pink sheen, like skin, and the house numbers are all blurred, with only symbols that faintly glow coldly, like some kind of code.

She even saw a closed eye on a door.

"..." An Jing silently took two steps back, zoomed out of the view, and gave up trying to unlock the room that was "too artistic".

“Just like at the villa,” she whispered. “These doors have all changed, which means this area has become completely mysterious.”

The system hummed in her mind: [This is a classic phenomenon; the more stable the magnetic field, the more spatial anomalies occur. Be careful, don't be too reckless.]

“I’ve never been reckless. If I weren’t careful, I would have died long ago,” An Jing said calmly.

She casually pulled out the "Shadow Walk" card, plunging one foot into the shadows, leaving only her upper body exposed, fully prepared to run away at any moment.

"I'll go open the door and take a look. If there's anything high-level or mysterious inside, I'll leave immediately."

OK, good luck.

Then she picked the door that looked the most normal.

There were no eyes or lumps, and the words "Sixth Ward" could still be vaguely seen on the door panel, as if the magnetic field had not completely eroded it.

She took a breath and gently pushed him away.

The door opened, and light streamed in.

Then she saw something truly unbelievable.

A hospital bed, and a mysterious figure dressed in a hospital gown.

There is also a human nurse.

"..."

An Jing froze for a moment, his hand instinctively reaching for the card, preparing to activate Shadow Walk.

But because the scene was so surreal, they didn't press the button.

Inside the ward, a mysterious creature is "resting" on the hospital bed.

Its face was mostly sunken, its left arm was obviously broken, its skin was wrinkled as if it had been soaked in water for a week, and its chest was wrapped in thick bandages—or more accurately, it was "bandaged up".

It looks somewhat like a human, but its skin is bluish-purple, making it resemble the Sick Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies.

Right next to it, a young female nurse who looked to be in her early twenties sat shakily on the edge of the bed, holding tweezers and cleaning the wounds of the strange creature.

She was really wiping, trembling as she did so, trying hard to hold back her tears.

Tears streamed down her chin, dripping into the small tray she was working on. She sobbed softly, but dared not stop moving. With each movement, she would whisper an apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

An Jing: "..."

Guimi didn't move, her head tilted to the side of the bed, as if she were taking a nap.

However, in the next second, its eyes suddenly opened.

A pair of pale, lifeless eyes, bloodshot and fixed on An Jing at the door.

The nurse also saw An Jing, and she shuddered, almost dropping the tweezers. She opened her mouth as if to shout something, but immediately covered her mouth and shook her head desperately at An Jing.

Then, she mouthed, "Help me..."

Only one sentence remained in An Jing's mind for a moment:

“Is that right?”

She slowly took half a step back, her gaze shifting back and forth between the enigmatic "patient" and the living nurse.
