Chapter 142 Why is He Sitong here?
After Lin Xi said "Hey," the voice-activated lights came on. But this thing really wasn't very effective. There were only a few steps, and every few steps it was dark again. But this time, there was no need for Lin Xi to say "Hey." Shen Sang Ning clapped her hands.
After a "click" sound, the voice-controlled light lit up again.
This made Lin Xi, who had just said "Hey!", feel a little stupid. She whispered, "Honey, why didn't you remind me just now? My 'Hey' was so stupid just now. Luckily, no one saw it. If someone had seen it, I would have been so embarrassed." As Lin Xi walked away, Chen Sang Ning said beside her, "But Lin Xi was also very cute just now!"
She is so silly that I guess only my wife would find her cute.
Lin Xi led Chen Sang Ning downstairs. Just as they'd said no one saw them, they spotted someone squatting at the third-floor landing, puffing away in the darkness. But she wasn't smoking. The cigarette lay beside them, a faint crimson glow. Lin Xi was stunned. At that moment, she was practically digging her toes into the ground. Just now, they'd said no one saw them, and now someone had popped up.
Lin Xi was about to say something when she heard the person at the door stand up and say "Hey!" The corridor lights came on, making the blue and white stripes on her body particularly obvious. She looked at Lin Xi for a long time and finally said, "You are alone. You just muttered to yourself."
What is it?
"No, you are blind, my wife. There is such a big man standing next to you, and you pretended not to see it? This is not how you act like a ghost. Believe it or not, I will let my wife eat you right now!"
Lin Xi couldn't bear to think about what the brat had said. He actually dared to pretend not to see his wife. Even if he had to sit back and watch his own delusions, he couldn't do that. The man fell silent. The lights in the hallway dimmed again. She said "Hey!" again. When the lights came back on, she looked at Lin Xi for a moment, finally said "crazy", and pushed the door open and walked out.
She forgot to put out her cigarette.
Just as Lin Xi thought of this, he heard the nurse's voice outside the door: "Brother Sun Ke! You're secretly smoking again! I told you that smoking is prohibited in the hospital, and you don't listen at all! I'm going to report you to your attending physician if you do this!"
It's true, when that patient named Sun Kege called Lin Xi "crazy," he sounded quite like a real person. Lin Xi knew that many ghosts in this world were excellent actors, and those with poor acting skills were relatively rare. This was because these ghosts were impersonating real people in their daily lives, constantly honing their skills. Lily and the middle-aged woman from the previous instance were even more exceptional actors.
But compared to the ghost just now, it was nothing. Her acting skills were even more natural and flawless.
Outside the door, Brother Sun Ke was still putting on a show, even arguing with the nurse: "Don't just stare at me! There's a patient in there! Go get her out! She came down from the fourth floor, and she's in bigger trouble than me!" Upon hearing this, Lin Xi composed herself, asked Shen Sang Ning to come back first, then pushed the door open and walked out: "Brother Sun Ke, how can you frame others like this? I've caught you secretly smoking in the corridor several times, and I helped you conceal it the other times, and now you're biting me back!"
She was wearing a nurse's uniform and had a righteous look on her face, which made Sun Kege stunned. She scratched her hair and said, "No, you were just talking to your imaginary wife, and now you deny her?"
Lin Xi's eyes widened, and she turned to look at the nurse beside her, ignoring Sun Ke. "Look at her, she's getting even sicker. Hurry and take her back to the ward." The nurse saw that what Lin Xi said made some sense, so she dragged Sun Ke away. With Sun Ke gone, Lin Xi could move freely.
She actually wanted to go to the nurses' station, but it was clearly a prohibited area according to the rules. Lin Xi didn't want to resort to brute force yet; she still had to stay here for thirty days. Nothing could have made Lin Xi more relieved than this dungeon. Thirty days? That meant she could be with Shen Sangning for a month!
It’s really great!
So Lin Xi planned to follow the rules and not go in for the time being, but unexpectedly, she saw someone she knew just as she passed the nurse's station. Although she was wearing a nurse's uniform, something Lin Xi had never seen before, she recognized her immediately. Those eyes, those eyebrows, that nose, that mouth—isn't that He Sitong?
Lin Xi asked without even thinking: "He Sitong, what are you doing here?"
She frowned unconsciously, and a trace of surprise flashed through her mind. This instance did not specify that it was a joint instance. How could He Sitong appear here? What was going on?
Hearing someone calling her, He Sitong raised her head and looked at Lin Xi with a confused expression: "Excuse me, who are you?" He Sitong is an innocent and simple female college student. In terms of acting skills, she is as good as Lin Xi, that is, Lin Xi is eight and He Sitong is half.
But the expression that He Sitong made now really brought out her confusion and bewilderment to the extreme. Based on Lin Xi's understanding of He Sitong, it was impossible for her to have such acting skills.
This also made Lin Xi doubt... Is the He Sitong in front of him really the He Sitong he knows?
Lin Xi tried to keep her facial expression from looking strange, not letting her suspicions show through. She simply replied, "I'm a nurse upstairs. I saw you in the cafeteria before and remembered your name. I just came down for a stroll. How have you been lately?"
To be honest, Lin Xi's acting was really bad, but He Sitong couldn't stand up to her. Lin Xi could at least tell the difference between good and bad acting, but He Sitong couldn't tell the difference at all. When she heard what Lin Xi said, she took it for granted, so she smiled and replied to Lin Xi.
"Oh, it's the senior from above! I'm just an intern, you still know me. I was quite nervous when I first came here. After all, I didn't expect to be assigned to a mental hospital for internship. I thought it was just an ordinary hospital. But after staying here for a while, I feel like I've gradually become accustomed to it. The seniors in the hospital are all very nice to me. If there is anything I don't understand, I can ask them in time, so I'm able to get the hang of it!"
Her every move told Lin Xi that she was He Sitong herself. Lin Xi chatted with her for a few more sentences and got a lot of information out of her, including the reason why He Sitong called her senior.
The inpatient wards consisted of three floors: the second floor housed mild cases, the third floor held moderate cases, and the fourth floor held severe cases. Lin Xi, a schizophrenic with delusional symptoms, was also placed in the intensive care unit. It was bizarre; even with the hospital's assigned condition, it wasn't severe enough!
The severity of patients on the second to fourth floors increases, and the nurses and doctors also have higher requirements. An intern like He Sitong couldn't possibly intern on the fourth floor. Logically, she should have been interning on the first or second floor, but when she arrived, a nurse had resigned on the third floor, leaving them short of staff, so she was assigned there.
After Lin Xi finished asking, she said goodbye to He Sitong and, using the excuse that she had something else to do, went to the elevator lobby. She still didn't take the elevator, but opened the emergency exit door next to her and took the stairs. As soon as she entered the stairs, Lin Xi called out to Shen Sangning.
Shen Sangning tilted her head and looked at Lin Xi: “Wife, is that the He Sitong you mentioned?”
"Well, how do you feel?" When Lin Xi asked this question, he was thinking about He Sitong's "Affinity with All Things" ability. He Sitong had this ability whenever she was in a dungeon, and could even influence the viewers through the live broadcast room.
Lin Xi wasn't initially affected by this ability. After all, she was so desperate not to see her wife at the time that she was completely lost. How could she possibly be attracted to other people or find them friendly? However, as Lin Xi's mental state gradually stabilized, she began to be somewhat affected when she watched He Sitong's live streams again.
I think He Sitong is a very cute girl and I will treat her like my younger sister.
Li Lanna also expressed that she had the same feeling. When she first watched He Sitong's live broadcast room, she almost thought she would become a nymphomaniac. However, when she first watched He Sitong, Lin Xi didn't feel anything. Maybe she was used to it. When they occasionally chatted with He Sitong on weekdays, she treated her as a schoolmate.
This was the first time Shen Sangning met He Sitong, and Lin Xi really wanted to know what Shen Sangning thought.
Chen Sangning wrinkled her nose and said after a long pause, "Well, a girl who doesn't pose much threat to me." Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chen Sangning was jealous. A smile appeared on her face, and she moved closer to Shen Sangning, wanting to get close to her.
"Wife, let's talk business."
Seeing Lin Xi approaching, Shen Sang Ning naturally reached out and held Lin Xi's arm, then got very close to her. Shen Sang Ning tilted her head, even more puzzled: "I'm talking about serious matters, she just has no threat to me. She can't kill me."
“…”
Well, it turns out that Lin Xi had misunderstood.
But from what Shen Sangning said, Lin Xi could also tell that He Sitong's "Affinity with All Things" ability was useless to Shen Sangning. It was strange, in the previous copy, her "Affinity with All Things" ability was simply an invincible killing move, and no ghost could escape.
Is Shen Sangning special, or is it because… ghosts of Shen Sangning’s strength can be exempted?
If it was the latter, then He Sitong's situation would become dangerous. The subsequent dungeons would become increasingly difficult, and if her innate abilities were not used, He Sitong's survivability would plummet.
Lin Xi shook his head. Now was not the time to think about this. Instead, he needed to confirm something with Cai Hua:
"Cai Hua, is this a joint dungeon? What's going on with He Sitong? Why does she act like she doesn't know me at all?"
The big eyeballs floated to one side, and only the emergency lights flickered in the dark corridor. Lin Xi felt that the light was too dim, so he reached out and clapped his hands. When the light came on, Cai Hua's SC also came.
[Joint instance, the hospital may have the ability to interfere with memory, and many anchors are affected. I wish you all the best.]
If you put it that way, then everything can be explained.
If it's just like this, this copy will become very troublesome.
