Chapter 136 is clearly just about romance...
After Zhou Jin and Su Ye realized they were on the fifth floor, they immediately prepared to go downstairs without thinking.
But when they reached the stairwell leading to the fourth floor, they found it blocked by a dense swarm of eerie creatures.
Meng Huan stood at the front, looking longingly upstairs, yet he dared not go up. He turned his head and said something to the strange creatures.
Those strange creatures were all dressed as doctors and nurses; they were the doctors who went berserk this morning.
They were also patients at Happiness Hospital a hundred years ago.
Clearly, they were all summoned by Meng Huan.
Upon discovering their presence, the crazed doctors stared at them greedily, their eyes filled with malice.
Su Ye and Zhou Jin quickly pulled their heads back, looking down and then up. Su Ye looked bewildered: "What do we do now?"
After hesitating for a while, the two decided to go upstairs first. They didn't know what was on the fifth floor, but the fourth floor was visibly eerie.
Once they reached the fifth-floor corridor, neither of them made a sound.
The fifth floor seems to be a different space from the Happiness Sanatorium.
The thick carpet, the European-style decor, and the red wall lamps gave the whole environment a somewhat eerie feel.
"Is this still a sanatorium?" Su Ye muttered to herself, her eyes darting around nervously.
On both sides of the corridor were offices, specimen rooms, and operating rooms. They didn't dare to go into any of them, but they couldn't just wander around in the corridor for too long.
In the end, Zhou Jin decided: "Let's go to the office first. Maybe there's information about the Happiness Sanatorium inside. Since we're already up here, we should at least look for clues."
Su Ye thought he made sense. The two hesitated for a moment at the office door before finally pushing it open.
Then, in the next instant, he froze on the spot.
Jiang Liyue was sitting in the chair in front of the desk, tilting her head and smiling as she greeted them: "Hi."
Her black hair was loose, and she wasn't wearing a nurse's uniform, but a white dress that Shen Zhiyan had changed her into, which made her exposed skin look even whiter.
He stood out from the rest of the office, yet somehow felt strangely harmonious.
[Ahhh, I finally saw Yueyue again! I missed my wife so much!]
[Yueyue's clothes have been changed, hehe, guess who did it...]
First, exclude Shen Zhiyan.
I hate it, I missed such an exciting and thrilling scene!
"Master?" Su Ye looked at her in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
The next moment, she noticed the golden chain on Jiang Liyue's ankle and asked with concern, "Master, were you captured and locked up here by some strange creature?"
"Well, I guess so." Jiang Liyue didn't deny it.
She was carried up by Shen Zhiyan, so how can that not be considered a capture?
Su Ye's eyes were brimming with tears: "I thought you had already finished the dungeon and left. I never expected you to be suffering here... Master, wait, I'll find a way to help you leave."
"No need," Jiang Liyue quickly refused. If Shen Zhiyan found out, he would probably go crazy again.
Those two are probably not going to make it.
“But…” Su Ye wanted to say something, but Zhou Jin stopped her in time.
He was a bit smarter than Su Ye and realized that Jiang Liyue's being tied up wasn't as simple as it seemed.
At least throughout the office, there were drinks and snacks, and she looked relaxed sitting in her chair, without a trace of the "suffering" that Su Ye had mentioned.
Jiang Liyue originally wanted them to rest, but the only things in the office besides the chair she was sitting on were the sofas not far away.
She and Shen Zhiyan had been together that morning... Although it had been cleaned up, she didn't want anyone else to sit there.
Given Shen Zhiyan's possessiveness, he'll probably go crazy when he finds out.
Well, actually, it wouldn't be so bad if they just stood there...
"Why did you come upstairs? It's not safe here," Jiang Liyue kindly reminded you.
It's just that Shen Zhiyan isn't here right now, so they can all be alright.
But he might come back at any time, and then it will be dangerous.
After all, Jiang Liyue wouldn't ask Shen Zhiyan to release the person.
She admits she's a bit cold-blooded; players are just strangers to her, and she might offer a little help if she finds them agreeable.
But if they can pass the test, they can; if they can't, it's none of her business.
Su Ye quickly recounted what had happened. Apparently, some daring player had opened the iron gate last night, causing the patient to go crazy and break into the dormitory building.
Then, something else suddenly drove the doctors and nurses crazy.
They finally managed to hide, but Meng Huan had somehow become a strange being.
"Then we were forced to go upstairs." Su Ye sighed as she spoke, "How could Meng Huan have become like this..."
Jiang Liyue had noticed Meng Huan's changes in the archives yesterday, so she wasn't surprised at all.
Meng Huan was scratched by the severed hand on the very first day she entered the instance; it's contagious.
If Meng Huan can find a way out in time and exit the instance, there is still hope. But if she becomes completely monstrous, she will be trapped inside the instance.
At least they weren't eaten directly by the monsters.
"Everyone has their own destiny. You should leave the fifth floor quickly," Jiang Liyue reminded them. "It's very dangerous up there."
Su Ye looked at Jiang Liyue with concern, and at the gold chain on her ankle: "Master, but you..."
Jiang Liyue hadn't expected her to be so naive, so she could only comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll find a way."
"Will your boyfriend come to save you?" Su Ye asked with some anticipation.
Jiang Liyue thought of Ji Yuan, whose fate was unknown and who had been dealt with by Shen Zhiyan, and nodded: "That's right."
"That's wonderful." Su Ye blinked, moved. What a touching love story this was!
Zhou Jin remained silent beside him.
Before they left, Jiang Liyue reminded them, "Go and look around the morgue."
"Yes, thank you." Zhou Jin nodded steadily, then dragged the still somewhat worried Su Ye downstairs.
"How could the master have been captured? What bad luck! Luckily, her boyfriend was there to save her," Su Ye kept muttering. "And she was even chained up. I wonder what kind of weird thing did that..."
Zhou Jin gave her a strange look: "Su Ye, have you ever really had a boyfriend?"
Putting aside the possibility that the supernatural might capture people and tie them up instead of eating them, even if it were to tie someone up, it would at least use a thicker iron chain.
That gold chain looks like it's just for fun...
