Rule Six: Hospitals do not have a fifth floor or a basement level; do not attempt to reach these two floors.

Rule 6 only mentions the fifth floor and the basement as special floors, but it does not say that these are the only special floors!

The sign that Zhuge Liang saw was the third basement level!

He originally just wanted to go to the fifth floor to see if there were any new clues or to find the room corresponding to the key in his hand, but he unexpectedly stumbled upon the third hidden floor!

In the center of the blood-red array, a disheveled woman sat with a half-decayed corpse beside her.

The woman raised her head and looked at Zhuge Shensuan with terrified eyes!

Zhuge Shensuan quickly took a few steps back, ensuring that he could see the woman clearly while also being able to retreat back to the basement level as soon as possible!

"Who are you...? Are you here to remind me of my mission? No need, I know my duty."

Zhuge Shensuan sensed a strong sense of danger from the woman, but he didn't want to abandon the clues and retreat immediately. So he mustered his courage and asked, "To ensure everything goes smoothly, I naturally have to come and see how the mission is progressing?"

The woman didn't answer; instead, she burst into laughter!

"Kid, you've got guts to lie to me! But they won't ask me 'How's the mission progressing?'"

Zhuge Shensuan realized something was wrong and immediately tried to turn and run away, but the woman was a step ahead of him. Her hair grew wildly and instantly wrapped around Zhuge Shensuan's waist!

The next moment, Zhuge Shensuan was dragged back to the woman by a tremendous force!

"Humanity must be destroyed!" The woman pulled a rusty dagger from behind her back, raised it with both hands, and pointed it at Zhuge Shensuan's neck. "Anyone who hinders the plan must die!"

Zhuge Shensuan struggled and adjusted his angle. Although the knife did not penetrate his neck directly, it pierced through his entire shoulder bone!

The immense pain nearly made Zhuge Shensuan faint. He knew he had no time to cry out in pain; if the woman's next knife fell, he would surely die!

At that very moment, Zhuge Shensuan caught a glimpse of the dirty, disheveled clothes on the half-corpse beside him!

This is......!

"Little girl, I've found your mother! This time I'm not lying to you! Come over here right now!"

Zhuge Shensuan shouted at the top of his lungs, which startled the woman for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she immediately continued what she had been doing!

"Go to hell!"

A rope was tied around the woman's neck. Taking advantage of the woman's momentary daze, Zhuge Shensuan tried his best to turn over, and the knife finally pierced the floor, grazing his neck!

The bloodstains on his neck are a sign of surviving a close call!

"Mother......"

The moment Zhuge Shensuan saw the clothes on the corpse, he thought of the little girl, because the clothes were exactly the same as what the little girl was wearing!

He was powerless to find out the specific story between the little girl and her mother, but this was his only chance to survive, so he had to try no matter what!

"How could it be you?! Have you returned as a vengeful spirit to claim my life?! Don't look for me, go find that bastard! He's the one who caused all this!"

The woman frantically swung the dagger in her hand at the little girl, showing no regard for the fact that she was her own daughter!

Yes, the little girl died here long ago, abused to death by her mother.

"Because you're that bastard's child! So you were a mistake to be born into this world! You might as well just die! Die!"

The dagger slashed at the little girl's body again and again, but how could someone who had already died die again? The little girl dragged her broken body to the woman and then hugged her.

"Mom...I've found you, don't leave me."

The woman stopped what she was doing, the rusty dagger fell to the ground, and the hair wrapped around Zhuge Shensuan's waist loosened as well.

Zhuge Shensuan tried his best to remain silent and minimize his presence, slowly crawling away from the woman.

His condition is absolutely terrible! The rust on the dagger has made his already serious wounds even worse, and if left untreated, these injuries alone will be enough to kill him!

To make matters worse, there are no items around that can treat this kind of injury, so Zhuge Shensuan's only option now is to wait for the world to be cleared and then teleport away!

There was a hidden door in the corner of the room. Zhuge Shensuan gritted his teeth and approached the door. At least for now, he wanted to do his best to send out as much useful information as possible.

The hidden door was locked. Zhuge Shensuan used his uninjured hand to take out the key from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole!

Click!

It actually opened?!

This was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; at least in the end, he managed to use the only key he had.

Zhuge Shensuan opened the hidden door and groped inside, quickly finding a piece of iron.

The number "7" is engraved on it.

Lin Changqing immediately relayed all the information from Zhuge Shensuan's side to Jiang Ran, including the location of this auxiliary formation and the numbers on the iron plate.

With the iron piece in Zhuge Shensuan's hand, Jiang Ran now has four numbers.

2, 8, 8, 7.

Jiang Ran had arrived at the morgue. He pushed open the door and found a group of knocked-down corpses inside. Sure enough, the man with the stun gun had been here, and the key inside must have been taken.

Fortunately, this key corresponds to a hidden door on the third basement level, inside which there is only a piece of iron. Jiang Ran has already learned the number on the iron piece from Lin Changqing, so there is no need to go through the trouble of searching for that man.

"Alright, despite some interference, we've still managed to analyze it!" Gwen patted her chest proudly. "There are still three auxiliary arrays left that haven't been broken!"

"One is on the third basement level, one is on the second floor, and the third one, a cunning thief, is hiding outside the hospital!"

"No way? You just... you already know?"

Yang Xiaodi looked like she'd seen a ghost.

Jiang Ran nodded: "Okay, then let's deal with the auxiliary array on the third basement level first, then the second floor, and finally the one outside the hospital!"

After receiving the exact information and ensuring that there was nothing else to be careful about on the first basement level, Jiang Ran no longer hesitated and started heading towards the third basement level!

"Will this solve the problem?"

Yang Xiaodi still felt somewhat incredulous. A plan she had prepared for so long was about to be broken by this man overnight. Wasn't the other party going to stop it at all?

Hehe, okay, whoever comes will die, and there's not even much suspense in a fight.

Although he didn't feel involved much, it was undoubtedly a good thing, at least it signaled that the matter was over.
