Yan Qing was overjoyed; her newly acquired strange pet was truly amazing. So she decisively rejected the offer.

Mu Yang was stunned. He couldn't understand why this woman would give up even the Law of Transcendence. Had she gone mad?

"Are you sure? This is an A-level pass rule! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Mu Yang seemed even more anxious.

Yan Qing became even more certain that this golden water must have other very important uses. Otherwise, Mu Yang wouldn't have acted this way.

In the end, the two couldn't reach an agreement. Mu Yang's face fell. "Yan Qing, you will regret the choice you made today." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Suddenly, a passage of text appeared in Yan Qing's mind, passed down to her by the Netherworld Brocade Fox—it was the "Passage Rules" in Mu Yang's possession.

Rules for passing the level:

Level A: He kidnapped %&$, stole the warehouse manager's car keys, and drove away.

After reading the rules for passing the level, Yan Qing was extremely glad that she hadn't agreed to the other party's request.

This Mu Yang is truly full of wicked schemes! Although the rules for passing the level are correct, he burned a hole in the most crucial part with a cigarette butt. He must have done it on purpose!

"Kidnapping %&$", screw you %&$, what's the difference between that and not saying anything at all? Without the most crucial part, her so-called A-level clearing rule is utterly worthless!

Moreover, once she swaps with Mu Yang, she'll inevitably have to demand the missing part from him. Given Mu Yang's personality, who knows how he'll try to extort her!

Pah! Pah! Pah! This person is definitely no good!

Yan Qing returned to her office in a huff and went straight to sleep. She had used up a lot of energy today and needed to replenish it quickly.

She slept soundly, and when she woke up again it was already past six in the morning. In another hour, it would be time for the shift change.

Yan Qing woke Xiao Tao up, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they began patrolling the wards.

After last night, she desperately needed to check on Jin Zijie's condition and hoped he was still alive.

Upon arriving at room 801, the situation seemed a little different today.

Jin Zijie remained buried under the covers, but Yan Qing couldn't hear him speak. When she lifted the covers, she saw that he was barely breathing.

At the same time, his face was covered with dense, red blood vessels, which seemed to have grown hands and feet and began to crawl wildly up his body. Wherever the blood vessels passed, Jin Zijie's expression became even more pained.

Looking at the two people sharing the room, they were still drowsy and showed no signs of anything amiss. Why was Jin Zijie the only one like this? Yan Qing found it incredibly strange.

The dice in his hand suddenly jumped out automatically and landed squarely on Jin Zijie's face.

Before Yan Qing could retract it, she saw the dense blood vessels on Jin Zijie's face begin to slowly spread towards the Heaven and Earth Dice's pure white body. In just a few breaths, all the red threads were "swallowed" by the Heaven and Earth Dice.

Then, like a child who has eaten and drunk his fill, it jumped back onto Yan Qing's arm and became a decoration.

This sudden change left her speechless. She remembered that among the magical artifact skills of the Heaven and Earth Dice, there seemed to be one called "Devour." Could this be it?

On the bed, Jin Zijie slowly opened his eyes. He sat up abruptly, his face filled with surprise.

"Wait, how did I get back to the ward? I remember I was definitely in Dr. Mu's office?"

"Dr. Mu's office?" Yan Qing repeated, "What are you going there for?"

Jin Zijie seemed to have just seen Yan Qing, and was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin. He pointed at Yan Qing with a trembling finger, his face filled with disbelief.

"Yan Qing, weren't you already dead? Did you come back to life? Or have you become a monster too?"

Yan Qing rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "You're the weirdo! Your whole family is weirdo! Look closely, I'm perfectly fine, what right do you have to curse me to die?!"

"But, but—" Jin Zijie still couldn't believe it. He secretly reached out and touched Yan Qing's arm. "It's warm. You, you're really not dead?"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Yan Qing slapped him on the head. "You're the one who almost died! If I had arrived any later, you'd be chatting with the King of Hell by now. Let me ask you—"

"What exactly did you go to Mu Yang's office for?"

Jin Zijie looked bewildered. "I don't know either. It was around 8 p.m. last night when Dr. Mu suddenly came to my ward and said he wanted to make a deal with me."

"He offered me a way to pass the level in exchange, so I went with him. But as soon as I entered the office, before I could even see anything clearly, I completely lost consciousness. When I woke up, you were the one who saved me."

Yan Qing suddenly had a bad feeling: Could it be that Mu Yang had been monitoring the ward all along?

So she quickly asked, "Quickly check yourself, do you still have the golden water I gave you yesterday?"

Jin Zijie was shocked and quickly searched around. Sure enough, he had nothing missing from his body, except that the Golden Water had vanished.

Yan Qing sneered. This Mu Yang, he's still not changed! He's actually set his sights on Jin Zijie? How did he know?

Could this person be secretly spying on me? But that doesn't make sense. She has the Heaven and Earth Dice on her; anyone trying to spy on her would surely be discovered.

It seems there's only one possibility left.

She looked around the ward. Although she couldn't see anything with the naked eye, she was quite certain that there was something monitoring them here.

It turns out that even the hospital ward isn't safe. Now, she'll have to think of a good solution.

"Oh, by the way, what's with the red veins on your face?"

Jin Zijie unconsciously touched his face. "You mean, there's something on my face? No, wait, I don't remember touching anything! Oh, wait—!"

He pointed at Yan Qing, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "I remember now. On the way to my office, Dr. Mu told me that you had accidentally entered a safe house and died. I was so frightened that I fell down, and Dr. Mu helped me up."

Yan Qing astutely grasped the key point: "You mean Mu Yang helped you up? Besides that, have you had any other contact?"

Jin Zijie shook his head. "At the time, I felt a cool sensation all over my body, which was quite comfortable, so I didn't think much of it. Now that I think about it, this person must have been up to no good back then."

Yan Qing still couldn't understand something: "Even if he wanted to harm you, there was no need for him to make you go to his office, was there?"
