The smooth mirror reflected Lin Wanchu's pale face, and a few strands of hair obscured her cold brows.

The entire hospital gown was covered in blood, but it wasn't hers that was stained; it was the blood splattered by the monster on the ground.

She exuded a chilling, needle-like aura—a murderous intent.

If Jiang Qi saw this scene, he might even applaud and praise Lin Wanchu's acting skills.

The mirror cracked, and Lu Xue rushed out with her head down.

She seemed not to have fully recovered yet, only looking at the familiar figure in front of her and feeling the familiar scent, before crashing straight into Lin Wanchu's arms, which reeked of blood.

Lin Wanchu's brow twitched slightly, her fingers curling as if she wanted to push Lu Xue away. She didn't want Lu Xue to be stained with the filthy blood of ghosts like she was.

Lu Xue hugged her even tighter, and Lin Wanchu couldn't break free for a moment.

Lu Xue pursed her lips slightly, but tears welled up uncontrollably.

She thought that since Zhixia loved dancing so much, she would definitely have something in common with Qiqi if she came out.

Lu Xue clutched the rabbit headband tightly in her hand, her voice broken and soft as she spoke, reaching Lin Wanchu's ears.

"Wan Chu, I'm out safely. See, I can manage on my own."

"Although, it wasn't entirely due to my own abilities."

Lu Xue knew that Lin Wanchu must be very worried outside the mirror, so she nuzzled Lin Wanchu's neck reassuringly, like a kitten.

Lin Wanchu felt a warmth mixed with a touch of sadness in her heart. She patted Lu Xue's back and said, "Be good, Xiao Xue, get up first. I'm dirty."

Lu Xue was reluctant, so Lin Wanchu had no choice but to stroke Lu Xue's face with both hands.

She then cupped Lu Xue's face in her hands. Lin Wanchu's hands were also covered in blood, and wiping away Lu Xue's tears would inevitably leave more blood on her face.

Lin Wanchu sighed and kissed away Lu Xue's tears with her soft lips.

Lu Xue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she wiped away her tears with her hands.

With a hoarse voice, she asked, "Wan Chu, are you hurt anywhere? Why are your clothes covered in blood?"

After Lin Wanchu had Lu Xue check the front, she turned around and had Lu Xue check the back. Lu Xue was relieved to find that there were no wounds.

As for how the bloodstains on Lin Wanchu's body were splattered there...

Rewind to when the two parted ways; Lu Xue disappeared, and Lin Wanchu became increasingly anxious.

She knew it was the mirror's fault, but she was helpless against it.

She couldn't break the mirror, or Lou Xue would be trapped inside forever.

Nothing we do will help.

Moreover, a monster broke through the door to interfere with her actions.

Its appearance sent chills down the spines of the viewers watching Lin Wanchu's live stream.

They couldn't help but worry for Lin Wanchu. At this moment, the audience was unaware that the seemingly fragile girl on the screen was a veteran player.

The monster was nearly two meters tall. Its green skin was rough like withered tree bark, and its eyes were cloudy, with inorganic matter swirling around.

Its mouth opened, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and it let out a deafening roar.

The massive shadowy figure enveloped Lin Wanchu, the disparity in strength so great that it was unbearable to witness Lin Wanchu's tragic end.

The monster's strength was unmatched; every swing of its enormous claws stirred up a gust of wind, and every step it took caused a tremor.

It easily pierced through the surrounding walls, leaving dark holes, and wall dust fell in a flurry onto the corridor.

Faced with the enormous monster, Lin Wanchu was not consumed by fear.

Lin Wanchu's heart raced; it had been a long time since she had fought a monster.

Her mind was exceptionally clear. She quickly redeemed a dagger from the system shop, the dagger gleaming coldly under the light.

She could only exchange for such a decent weapon, but Lin Wanchu didn't mind.

After all, even a small fly is still meat.

The monster launched a fierce attack, pounding its chest and stamping its feet, trying to overwhelm Lin Wanchu with its massive body.

Lin Wanchu nimbly dodged, her movements as agile as a leopard weaving through danger, each dodge a provocation to the monster.

She not only managed to barely deflect the monster's claw attacks several times with just her dagger, but also discovered the monster's weakness during her counterattacks—a crack hidden in its scale-covered back.

Just as the monster was gathering its strength to attack again, Lin Wanchu leaped up without hesitation, nimbly landing on the monster's back, and the tip of her knife accurately pierced the crack.

Blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto her fair cheeks and spreading out, yet her smile only grew brighter.

The monster let out a terrible howl, its body began to lose strength, and finally collapsed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Wanchu leaped and landed steadily.

Bathed in the light, his aura sent chills down one's spine.

Lin Wanchu stood beside the monster's corpse, panting heavily, sweat and dust mixed on her face.

He kicked the monster's corpse a few times with his toes to make sure it was completely dead before quickly returning to the mirror.

Viewers watching the nearly two-minute battle were stunned.

No, is this reasonable?!

Did they miss something? Is this girl really that amazing?

The first dungeon character looks like an innocent, pure white flower. You're telling me she can fight monsters with her bare hands, actually killing terrifying monsters with a dagger.

If I told anyone, who would believe me?

No wonder she's in cahoots with Jiang Qi; her ruthless demeanor is just as fierce as his.

Some players typed "666" in the comments and also gave points to this pretty good girl.

They watched this battle with bated breath and trembling hands, and it would be wrong of them not to give a reward.

In fact, the moment Lin Wanchu saw the crack in the mirror, she frantically wiped her face with her hospital gown.

So as not to scare Lu Xue.

Lin Wanchu honestly told Lu Xue about her experience, but omitted some details.

Lu Xue had no doubts and told Lin Wanchu everything she had experienced in the mirror.

Both were unharmed, and the vicious cycle was broken.

Lin Wanchu randomly found a ward, changed into a clean hospital gown, and even washed her hands.

Lu Xue's eyes were still red, but at least she wasn't crying anymore.

Blood was smeared all over her face, making Lu Xue look like a big tabby cat.

After the two finished getting ready, they were on their way to meet up with Cheng Cuo.

Lu Xue opened her palm and showed the rabbit hair tie to Lin Wanchu.

"Look, this is what Zhixia asked me to bring out."

"Perhaps this can be considered a breakthrough."

"It's just a pity that she couldn't come out."

Lin Wanchu gently patted Lu Xue's head and comforted her, "Xiao Xue, you've done a great job."

"There's no need to feel so guilty. Once we fulfill her wish, I believe Zhixia will be very happy."

Jiang Qi, standing in front of ward 404, watched in astonishment as the figure passed right through his body.

It wasn't Xiao Qing he was waiting for.

Jiang Qi glanced at the time and found that it was exactly twelve o'clock.

Jiang Qi is not one to simply wait idly.

Turning the door to ward 404, the white curtains swayed gently inside, and through the window, one could see the pale, weak moonlight.

It tried to illuminate this space full of uncertainty, but could not dispel the shadows in the corners.

Within these shadows, some unspeakable monster seems to lurk.

"Aaaaaah!" A piercing scream echoed down the corridor, the owner of the sound seemingly quite frightened.

As the door to room 404 opened and closed, the person who entered was none other than Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing didn't let her guard down when she saw Jiang Qi, mainly because the chaotic scene outside made it hard for her to trust anyone.

Xiao Qing was breathing rapidly. She couldn't understand what was happening. Her face was pale, and she involuntarily bit her lip. Her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.

What if the Jiang Qi in front of you is a fake?

Hidden in the moonlight, Jiang Qi stood motionless like a ghost.

Just then, a clap of thunder sounded outside the window, startling Xiao Qing so much that she almost ran out the door.

Jiang Qi tried to ease Xiao Qing's tension and fear, "Don't be afraid, come on, count with me first."

"Right now, you've just had a nightmare. You'll wake up once you've finished counting."

"100, 99, 98,..."

Although Xiao Qing was still very nervous and scared, she miraculously relaxed when she heard Jiang Qi's voice.

As she mentally counted along with Jiang Qi, her fear lessened somewhat.

Jiang Qi's voice was very pleasant, with a gentle and soothing tone that gave Xiao Qing a sense of security.

There was a slight noise outside the door. Taking advantage of Xiao Qing's relaxed vigilance, Jiang Qi slowly approached her.

The door behind Xiao Qing was violently pulled open, making a screeching sound.

It was the monster that Xiao Qing had been avoiding, followed by the chainsaw-wielding nurse whom Jiang Qi had met in the illusion.

Jiang Qi's heart tightened suddenly. Holding the peach blossom hairpin, he shielded Xiao Qing behind him.

Time seemed to stand still. Jiang Qi acted first, and with lightning speed, he pulled Xiao Qing and jumped out of the window together.

A cold wind whistled past her ears, and Xiao Qing beside her was quite frightened. She closed her eyes tightly and gripped Jiang Qi's arm tightly.

The fierce wind stung Jiang Qi's eyes, making it hard for him to open them. He relaxed his body and softly called out Lu Zhi's name.

On the concrete ground downstairs, a figure stood in the shadows.

Hearing Jiang Qi's call, she moved swiftly, accompanied by a biting cold wind.

"Here you are, I've caught you."

Lu Zhi held Jiang Qi's body in his arms, while carrying Xiao Qing, who had already fainted from fright, in one hand.

After landing safely, Xiao Qing was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Lu Zhi.

Jiang Qi felt Lu Zhi's strong arms and blinked. Lu Zhi's arrival was quite timely.

Looking at Xiao Qing lying on the ground, he sighed that Lu Zhi had no sense of tenderness or compassion for women.

Jiang Qi looked at Lu Zhi's cold chin, and gently patted Lu Zhi's arm, telling him to put him down.

"Sweetie, stop hugging me, we have important things to do."

Inside one of the offices on the ninth floor.

The man sat in the dimly lit room, gently holding a yellowed photograph in his hand.

That was a photo of him with a girl, capturing the girl's happy smile.

He was still standing behind me, but with the passage of time, his figure had long since become blurred.

Only a faint beam of moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains, falling on his face and reflecting his mood at that moment.

Zhang Yongzhi's fingers gently and slowly stroked the girl's face in the photo, as if hoping to reconnect with her through this touch.

His eyes were filled with deep longing and overwhelming sorrow.

Crystalline tears clung to the corners of her eyes, slowly sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the photograph, blurring the girl's smiling face.

The girl inside looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with her body turned to the side and her seaweed-like hair falling loosely.

His lips trembled slightly as he tried to force a smile, but ultimately failed.

Instead, a bitter expression appeared on Zhang Yongzhi's face. His gaze would sometimes be fixed on the photograph, and sometimes wander aimlessly into the void.

It seems to be searching for something, perhaps a memory of the past, or perhaps some expectation for the future.

As time passed, his body swayed gently, accompanied by an almost inaudible sigh—a sorrow that went to the very marrow of his bones.

Finally, he carefully put the photo back into his breast pocket, as if protecting his most precious treasure.

Zhang Yongzhi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. But the sadness on his face was hard to erase.

He murmured, "Zhaozhao, wait for me, I'll be with you soon..."
