Chapter 16: I can still meet colleagues
But strangely, there was no movement along the way.
Jian Yubai tiptoed to the corner and looked into the corridor, but could not see any zombies.
In fact, he didn't need to look for zombies at all.
Zombies have an extraordinary sense of smell. If there really were zombies on this floor, he would have been chased by them long ago.
Having no idea how he ended up in this shabby place, Jian Yubai was still groping around in this floor. Not only did he not find Qi Huo, he didn't even see the main door to the hospital.
Normally, the registration office is not far from the hospital entrance, so why can't I find the exit after wandering around for so long? !
Jian Yubai thought as he walked to a door.
The dilapidated walls, cobwebs in the corners, the messy items that have been placed there for a long time, and the dust on the ground all indicate that this hospital has been abandoned for a long time.
But in the room in front of me, for some reason, the sign that read "In Surgery" continued to glow.
It looked haunted.
Jian Yubai carefully put his ear close to the door, and after confirming that there was no movement in the room, he pushed the door open a little.
There was only one person lying on the operating table.
The light from the operating room shone on his face, making it look extremely eerie.
Jian Yubai hesitated for two seconds and walked into the house. When he took a look at the man, it was Qi Huo.
"Qi Huo!"
Jian Yubai was surprised. He didn't expect Qi Huo to be in such a place. He quickly took three or two steps forward and ran to Qi Huo's side.
"Qi Huo, are you okay!?"
At this time, Qi Huo lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, as if he were dead.
This appearance simply scared Jian Yubai. Just as he was about to reach out to shake Qi Huo, a hoarse voice came from behind him.
"Hello."
Jian Yubai's heart tightened with fright at the sudden sound.
He turned quickly and saw that the person coming was the man they had met before.
"It's you! What did you do to Qi Huo!?"
Jian Yubai said this while standing in front of the bed where Qi Huo was lying.
"Don't talk about him first, talk about you first." The man looked a little impatient.
"Me?" Jian Yubai didn't know what he meant by this sentence.
"Where are you from?" the man asked, "You are not from this world."
He didn't expect the other party to ask such a question. Jian Yubai felt his brain rumbling.
What's going on? Why would he ask such a question?!
Exposed? He knows my identity? Or is he just saying it casually?
Jian Yubai hesitated and asked tentatively: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Do you usually read books? For example... "The Big Boss Goes Crazy in the End of the World"?"
"???"
Holy shit! Isn't that the title of the book he's wearing?
Jian Yubai's brain was stuck for two seconds, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said: "Who are you? Are you also..."
No way, I can meet colleagues like this?
“I didn’t expect it to be true.”
The man said, "Tsk!" twice.
"I find it strange that an S-class psychic suddenly appears and keeps hanging around the protagonist. There is no such person in the original novel... What is your mission?"
"Answer my question first, and I'll answer yours." Jian Yubai's face was still wary.
Although this person accurately said the title of the original book, he must have traveled through time like himself.
But judging from the current situation, the two of them seem to be in opposition!
The man shrugged. "Ask whatever you want."
"Where is this place? What happened to Qi Huo now? What is your mission? Do you know how to return to the present world?" Jian Yubai asked.
"Don't you think you have too many questions?" The man snorted and didn't seem to want to answer Jian Yubai.
"If you don't answer me, I won't tell you." Jian Yubai also shrugged like the man.
The man rolled his eyes and said, "My ability is to enter dreams, so you are in a dream now. As for Qi Huo, of course he has fallen asleep."
"In a dream?"
Jian Yubai said, I didn’t expect all this was fake, no wonder there are no zombies here.
"Qi Huo's ability is that of a judge, which can suppress all other abilities. Your ability should be useless to him. What on earth did you do to him?"
"Ha," the man laughed, "Guess! Why are you so nervous about him? Your mission...isn't it to protect Qi Huo?"
Jian Yubai said nothing.
"It's really like this," the man rolled his eyes, "Guess what my mission is?"
"What?" Jian Yubai thought
"Kill Qi Huo."
The man's voice suddenly turned cold, and the next second after he finished speaking, he leaned over and rushed towards Jian Yubai.
Perhaps because this is a dream created by this man's supernatural powers, Jian Yubai is still unable to use his own supernatural powers, while the opponent's speed is astonishing.
When he was about to fight a direct hand-to-hand fight, the man disappeared before his eyes.
"You are not my target. We are all from the same hometown. There is no need for me to attack you."
The voice came from above his head. Jian Yubai was startled and turned his head quickly to look, only to see the man rushing down and floating in the air.
"But it's not good if you get in the way of my mission."
As the man spoke, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and stabbed the dagger directly into Jian Yubai's forehead.
Fortunately, Jian Yubai practiced physical skills a lot in the training ground, so his reaction was still quick.
He quickly squatted down to avoid it, supported himself on the ground with his hands, stretched out his feet, and moved a scalpel on the ground to his side.
Now that he can't use his special powers and he has to protect Qi Huo, Jian Yubai feels very exhausted.
Seeing the man suddenly appear in front of him and slash at him with a knife, Jian Yubai stepped forward with the scalpel in hand.
I can't retreat because Qi Huo is behind me.
It was obvious that he had done enough training in his daily life, but it seemed that because this was a dream created by the man, the other party could control it at will, and he was in someone else's territory, so Jian Yubai always felt that he was powerless and out of control.
Soon, several bloodstains appeared on Jian Yubai's body. As the blood flowed, Jian Yubai swung the knife and quickly raised his leg, kicking the man.
"Damn! Can't you kick somewhere else?!"
The man covered his hand and his face turned pale.
Jian Yubai took advantage of this gap to pull Qi Huo up from the operating table, put Qi Huo's arm on his shoulder, and quickly walked towards the door of the operating room.
"Where do you think you can escape to in this dream?"
When the man's voice rang out, the structure of the room unexpectedly changed. The door in front of him suddenly disappeared and turned into a wall.
"Fuck! Don't you think this is a bit foul?"
Jian Yubai frowned, turned around, looked at the man, and took two steps back.
"Where's the foul?"
Probably because he was kicked somewhere by Jian Yubai, the man's face turned pale and the look in his eyes when he looked at Jian Yubai became more vicious.
"I can't use my powers."
As Jian Yubai spoke, he quickly placed Qi Huo against the wall, and stood in front of Qi Huo, holding the scalpel tightly in his hand.
The man didn't say anything else. The next second, everything in the house flew up and hit Jian Yubai.
Forget about other things. Looking at the operating table flying towards him, Jian Yubai felt that if they were hit by that thing, he and Qi Huo would really be finished here.
