Chapter 111 After 10 PM

After Jiang Liyue introduced herself, the "person" next to her, whose body was wrapped in bandages, did not respond.

However, she noticed that the other person's gaze towards her was unusually resentful.

There seemed to be a hint of fear in it.

Fear? She hasn't done anything in this instance yet, has she?

Jiang Liyue looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, and finally realized that the bandages on his body looked somewhat familiar.

Especially the bow on the side of her neck, it was exactly the same as the one she tied for patients in the operating room before.

So, it was him all along?

The more Jiang Liyue looked, the more familiar the locations of the bandages seemed.

If you look closely, the dent on one side of his head seems to have been caused by her hitting him with a wrench.

It was finally confirmed that this was the patient he had physically anesthetized.

So the last person he saw before he fainted was Jiang Liyue.

Now I think I can understand why he had that look in his eyes.

Jiang Liyue silently gave the bandaged man a friendly smile.

Without a shred of guilt, I thought, "I can't blame her."

Blame the doctor who arranged her treatment, and the person who put the wrench in the operating room.

The bandaged man shuddered when he saw Jiang Liyue's smiling face.

Waaaaah, that's so scary. She had the same expression when she knocked him unconscious.

The bandaged man cautiously led Jiang Liyue to the dormitory building.

The nurses and doctors lived in another building next door, with men and women living in the same building.

The two buildings are not far apart. Across the long corridor is the staff dormitory, but the dormitory is locked by a large iron gate.

A notice was posted nearby: "The main gate closes at 10 p.m. and opens at 6 a.m. Staff are not allowed to enter the patient building."

In other words, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., medical staff and patients were completely separated.

However, one of the dungeon quests is to "discover the secret of the Happiness Sanatorium".

If you stay quietly in your dorm at night, they probably won't find out.

Jiang Liyue glanced at the notice again, pondered to herself, and followed the bandaged person to her dormitory.

This time, her dormitory is on the first floor, room 104, and she has no roommates, so it's a single room.

The bandaged man led her away and then ran off in a hurry, as if a ghost was chasing him.

It's easy to imagine how much psychological trauma he suffered at the hands of Jiang Liyue.

The hospital staff dormitory is indeed better than the school dormitory; each room has a separate small bed, wardrobe, and desk, and it looks fairly tidy.

The only strange thing was that the dormitory had no windows, something she had noticed when she was outside the dormitory building.

Not just her room, but all the rooms in the dormitory building have no windows.

This means that they have to go through the large iron gate at the entrance of the dormitory to get out.

That was the only passage to the outside world.

Jiang Liyue wandered around the room a couple of times and found a brochure for the Happiness Sanatorium.

[The Happiness Sanatorium was originally built a hundred years ago as a wartime hospital. It was destroyed once during the war and rebuilt as the Happiness Sanatorium ten years ago.]

The sanatorium is located high in the mountains, surrounded by mist and lush vegetation. The oxygen-rich environment helps patients feel relaxed, and the sanatorium also has a full complement of medical staff. Over the past ten years, it has cured thousands of patients.

[Happiness Sanatorium is the most inclusive sanatorium. We welcome patients of all types to recuperate here. If you are interested, please register.]

The photos in the brochure were clean, tidy, and bright, completely different from what Jiang Liyue saw today.

The sanatorium she saw was old and dark.

The walls were covered with all sorts of messy bloodstains and stains, and the railings and door handles showed signs of rust.

Not to mention the blood-soaked operating room, and the strange doctors and patients.

“False advertising,” Jiang Liyue concluded after examining the brochure in her hand from top to bottom.

She searched the rest of the room but didn't find anything more useful.

She heard voices coming from outside the door; other players were returning one after another. She opened the door to check and found not only players but also other medical staff from the sanatorium.

I didn't see them at the sanatorium, and I don't know where they came from.

She closed the door after looking at it.

Jiang Liyue didn't go to the cafeteria for dinner that night. After purchasing the space, she stored some food she bought from the game store inside.

She ate a little something and lay in bed waiting for night to fall.

At first, there was complete silence, without any sound, but at some point, sounds like the roars of wild beasts began to come from outside.

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and particularly jarring, sounding somewhat eerie in the deathly still night.

Jiang Liyue also heard the sound and immediately rolled over in bed.

The third rule the head nurse mentioned about precautions for the nursing home is: [Ignore any noises you hear after 10 PM].

Jiang Liyue remembered this, but she still opened the door without hesitation.

There's nothing else to it, she's just a bit rebellious.

Today is only the first day of the dungeon. According to the usual practice of dungeons, the earlier the dungeon is, the less dangerous it is.

Therefore, the early stages are the best time to investigate clues in the dungeon.

Clearly, Jiang Liyue wasn't the only one who thought this way. After taking only a few steps down the corridor, she saw the light of a flashlight ahead.

Other players also came out of the room to check the situation.

Jiang Liyue noticed that it was a group of three men and three women.

Among them were Meng Huan, whom she had met during the day, as well as the couple Ouyang Chen and Su Ye, two other unfamiliar boys, and one unfamiliar girl.

Su Ye and Ouyang Chen were still acting together, but they didn't seem as close as they were during the day. They were still standing together, though it was unclear how Ouyang Chen had managed to appease her.

Upon seeing Jiang Liyue, Meng Huan and Su Ye were delighted. They waved to her and called her in a low voice, "Boss."

Jiang Liyue joined them and learned that the unfamiliar boy was named Zhou Jin, a veteran player who had cleared the dungeon ten times.

They encountered something strange in the cafeteria on six nights, and happened to work together, which led to their current partnership.

Of course, the main reason was that they all wanted to curry favor with Zhou Jin, so when Zhou Jin suggested going out to take a look at the place that night, they all followed him.

Zhou Jin had a particularly reliable appearance and stood ramrod straight. Jiang Liyue guessed that his identity before the strange occurrence must have been that of a soldier.

The other man and woman seemed rather quiet; they were reportedly newcomers who had only recently entered the instance and weren't very brave.

In other words, apart from Zhou Jin, the other five of these six people are basically newcomers. The fact that he is willing to bring so many newcomers along is indeed in line with his image as a good person.

Although Jiang Liyue wouldn't help others like that herself, she wouldn't mock people like Zhou Jin who help others.

She also took the opportunity to introduce herself.

Su Ye was surprised when she heard this: "Master, you also have the surname Jiang?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Liyue blinked.

"It's nothing," Su Ye shook his head. "I just encountered a player surnamed Jiang in the last dungeon."

It's not surprising that they all share the surname Jiang, but Su Ye was particularly struck by the memory of Jiang Lingxue from the previous instance, which is why she immediately made the connection.

Jiang Liyue knew who it was without even thinking, but simply said "Oh" without replying.

Ouyang Chen seemed to want to add something, but noticing Su Ye's expression, he ultimately remained silent.

However, his expression towards Jiang Liyue was not friendly.

After all, his girlfriend wants to break up with him now, all thanks to this charlatan master who came from who-knows-where.
