Chapter 27 Bloodstained Hospital (6)

"Who did you say?" The middle-aged female manager sitting by the window frowned. "An Jing? The one you mentioned, the Primordial Parasite?"

He Lin gritted her teeth and nodded.

“Yes. She said it.” She slowed her pace and repeated in a low voice, “Back in that villa, the one where 001 and the others sacrificed their magnetic field, there was a high-level mysterious creature that was almost insanely trying to seize the primordial source within her. If that mysterious creature knew that the primordial source resided within her, it would definitely try every means to approach, devour, or even merge with her.”

Inside the meeting room, you could hear a pin drop.

As soon as He Lin finished speaking, the mysterious magnetic field report that had been slapped on the table was still trembling slightly at the edges, as if reflecting the shock in everyone's heart at that moment.

"This is not a good situation."

The female supervisor, Fang Yan, frowned deeply, leaning forward as if trying to see a huge hole in the report. Her sharp gaze swept over He Lin, then landed on the silent middle-aged man at the head of the conference room.

The man sat in the main seat, his temples graying, his expression remaining calm throughout. He was none other than the current director of Special Affairs Division 404, codenamed "Jiang Yu".

He lowered his head, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and finally spoke slowly:
"Director Cheng."

"Yes!" Director Cheng quickly responded.

"You mentioned before that you would be conducting a system scan of Anjing in the next few days to assess the extent of the initial source's influence. Has that been arranged yet?"

"The arrangements were made, but we haven't even had a chance to start..." Director Cheng touched his bald head, his face pale. "Her vital signs had only stabilized for two days, and she said she needed to rest for a few days, so we... agreed. Who could have imagined that this hospital would suddenly—"

"Now is not the time to hold people accountable," Fang Yan interrupted coldly. "The problem is that she's still inside, and the magnetic field has already taken shape. If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid the Origin will be snatched away by the Mysterious One. Don't forget that she's just an eighteen-year-old girl. It's a miracle that she survived in the Mysterious One's magnetic field."

"Director." He Lin straightened up, suppressing her emotions, "I volunteer to lead people in."

Jiang Yu didn't rush to agree. Instead, he looked at her and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know about her?"

“Half.” He Lin replied without hesitation, “Although she is a high school graduate, she demonstrated exceptional judgment, mental resilience, and strong execution during the villa incident. She also showed initial adaptability to the mysterious system. Therefore, it’s not too late to carry out a rescue as soon as possible!”

Silence fell over the meeting room.

"...She can't be hurt, otherwise it will take us much longer to find Chuyuan," Director Cheng finally said.

Jiang Yu nodded.

“I’ll arrange for several experienced lamplighters to be brought along.” His tone was steady but cold. “Last time, 001 and his team encountered a high-level, mysterious magnetic field blockade and were trapped inside. We couldn’t even rescue them. So this time, we’ll learn from that experience and bring more people at once to ensure a safe outcome.”

He Lin immediately saluted: "Yes, sir!"

"This time, don't bring any items below grade C."

“I will personally organize and transfer an A-level reconnaissance team from within the organization to assist you.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for your instructions to take people in!” He Lin volunteered.

“You’re not going.” Jiang Yu rarely refused. “You’ll be in charge of command, stationed at the external communication bridge. Once communication inside the magnetic field is lost, you’ll direct the breaching from the spot.”

He Lin was taken aback, bit her lip, but still nodded: "...Yes."

It was obvious to everyone that she was unwilling, but she had no choice but to obey orders.

"Alright." Jiang Yu stood up and straightened his uniform. "Everyone, prepare for action."

Meanwhile, inside the hospital, deep within the magnetic field.

An Jing had no idea what kind of discussion had taken place among the highest-ranking members of the 404 Special Service Department because of her.

She was half-squatting at the door of a "treatment observation room" at the end of a fourth-floor corridor, observing the dim yellow light leaking through the crack in the door while rolling up the cuffs of her nurse's uniform with her fingers, as if waiting for the night market stall to close.

Whether it was her good luck or Lin Yue's good luck, the two found a safe house not long after they started walking, and there were still a few living people inside.

As expected of people working at a hospital that collaborates with the Secret Service, they have a strong sense of security.

After sending Lin Yue inside, An Jing ran off in a flash, starting a sting operation.

System: [You've been waiting by the door for ten minutes and haven't caught a single fish yet. You're definitely going home empty-handed.]

An Jing: "You don't understand. High-level hunters often appear in the form of prey."

"...You need bait to fish, right?"

An Jing curled his lip: "Like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait."

[Shrimp and Egg.]

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight dragging sound came from the crack in the door, like something slowly crawling and making a wet, sticky noise as its limbs rubbed against the floor tiles.

An Jing's eyes lit up. Fish had arrived.

She immediately stood up straight, quickly wiped away the useless "nervous look" from her face, and put on a standard nurse's smile.

"Hello, I'm a nurse, may I ask—"

The door was pushed open little by little.

A figure slowly poked half its head out. It was a blurry "human shape" with skin that looked as if it had been peeled off and then stitched back together, emitting a faint smell of blood.

It stared at An Jing, making a gurgling sound in its throat:
"……Nurse……"

An Jing's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, where do you feel unwell?"

"...My leg...is split open...can you stitch it up..."

An Jing glanced at its exposed lower body; the leg was almost broken in two, the bones were turned outwards, and blood flowed across the floor like black water.

“Okay.” She nodded, hiding the scalpel under the tray. “Please sit on the bed, I’ll ‘take care of’ it.”

System: [So, it's just a mysterious letter. Sigh, I've never thought mysterious people were so innocent.]

"They're quite simple-minded if they're not smart."

You're just after their bodies.

It's strange, how come she seems to have let herself go after surviving the mysterious magnetic field?

The system is somewhat perplexing.

An Jing turned around and closed the door, her expression instantly turning cold and ruthless.

"Sit still and don't move. We won't give you anesthesia. Don't scream if it hurts."

Outside the hospital, outside the cordon.

The magnetic field detector rotates on the roof of the vehicle, actively detecting a fluctuation every 100 meters it travels.

He Lin stood in the command vehicle at the highest point, coldly watching the lonely building in the distance.

The constant buzzing of communication messages filled her ears.

"The magnetic field concentration index is stable at 3.4, and the structure is semi-enclosed, possessing camouflage and deceptive properties. Preliminary assessment indicates that entry is only possible through certain areas, and the number of trapped individuals is still being tallied!"

"Location module ready."

"Group B is about to break into the field and is expected to make contact with the target floor in three minutes."

He Lin asked in a deep voice, "Can we use props to locate An Jing?"

"Not for now."

Her eyes narrowed.

"Continue scanning."

"Yes."

At this moment, An Jing, whom everyone was searching for, was using pliers to clamp the fragments from the mysterious leg bone, whispering as he worked:

"Your bone is badly fractured, how did this happen?"

“...fighting...being bitten…” he murmured mysteriously.

"Don't get into fights again, especially when you can't win," An Jing said gently. "The way you are now, you only deserve... to be beaten by me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the pliers in her hand snapped, accompanied by a soft cracking sound.

The body was returned to its place.

[Number of attempts +1]

An Jing clapped his hands, looking very satisfied: "He'll definitely be very satisfied with the door-to-door service."

The system paused for two seconds: [Are you here for a house call or a funeral?]

"Do it all." She smiled, picked up the tray, and walked out the door.
