Chapter 177 Action Begins
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
On the third day before last, Lin Xi and the driver agreed on a time and a specific plan, after which the driver drove Lin Xi back to the platform on the hospital side. Lin Xi climbed up the wall of the hospital as if he was going home, and whizzed into it.
Arriving at the hospital, Lin Xi immediately found He Sitong, An Xin and Meng Yuxin and told them about the change in his plan.
When talking about the ghost driver, He Sitong couldn't help but ask, "Is it the No. 4 bus that appeared before?"
"yes."
He Sitong was a little excited, this excitement was similar to when a character that she could only see on TV suddenly appeared in front of her; and this TV series was the one she promoted, so even if it was a small role, He Sitong would feel like she had broken through the dimensional wall.
As a CP fan, as time went by, she not only did not feel that "the dungeon is finally over, so good that I can go back to the real world", but instead she thought "Why is this happening? Now that the dungeon is over, when will I be able to see my CP standing together in person next time?"
Lin Xi found He Sitong's train of thought a bit difficult to understand, so she dismissed her outright. She then instructed An Xin and Meng Yuxin, who were acting very grown-up, "Our plan is that at 12:00 PM the night after tomorrow, everyone who can sneak out should leave their beds and head to the park for some fresh air. When you see the bus, don't hesitate; rush over and find a seat."
"The bus is expected to depart at 12:10. If you don't arrive by this time, we won't wait for you. The second floor actually has the most live patients, so just prepare the sheets and ropes in advance, and then just climb down from the second floor window. After you land, you also need to pick up the living people on the third floor."
The patients were actually quite easy to deal with; after all, the floors here weren't that high, and they could just follow Lin Xi's instructions. Others, like the anchors who were working there, were a bit more challenging. They lived in the staff dormitories, which was quite a distance away. However, the security there was generally more lax at night, so it wasn't a big problem.
The biggest problem actually lies with He Sitong and the nurse anchor on the fourth floor.
After confirming that they would be leaving at night, He Sitong made some attempts. At the beginning, before she regained her memory, she was able to leave the nurses' station a little. Although the nurses tried to dissuade her, most of them were just watching the show and no one intended to actually stop He Sitong.
As time went on, He Sitong tried to show her intention to leave the nurses' station at night. At that moment, the hair on He Sitong's body stood up, and she clearly felt that the nurses were staring at her. If she dared to take a step out of the nurses' station, they would tear her into pieces like they did to the patients.
"Xiaotong."
He Sitong had just retracted her feet when a female voice suddenly sounded behind her. He Sitong didn't even turn around, because the light in the center of the nurse station projected the woman's figure under her feet. It had a long neck, like a python, and a head on top. The head was not far behind her. It opened its mouth like a snake spitting out its tongue and called her name.
It was obviously a very intimate name, but it made He Sitong break out in a cold sweat.
"Xiaotong, what are you doing?"
Sweat dripped down her forehead and fell to the ground. He Sitong forced a smile, hoping that her "all things affinity" talent would work. She said, "It's nothing. I slept too long and my body is a little stiff. I'll get up and move around."
"Are you going out?"
This sentence is full of murderous intent.
It is looking forward to it, looking forward to going one step further.
The more this happened, the more she couldn't show any fear. He Sitong looked at the head in front of her, and her eyes, which had been tightened with fear, slowly relaxed.
"How could that be?" He Sitong swallowed the saliva that was secreted due to nervousness: "I can't go out."
The head looked at her for a long time, and when it found that He Sitong was not shaken at all, it said, "Really? Yes, okay." It was a little disappointed, and then slowly retreated. The trajectory of the neck retracting was a zigzag shape, really like a snake.
She told this matter to Lin Xi, An Xin and others, but she didn't tell the nurse anchor on the fourth floor, because once she told them, she might be completely paralyzed by fear and unable to move.
At the moment, it seems that the two nurses are indeed a problem.
Of course, Lin Xi also has a way to deal with it, that is to let Chen Sang Ning kill all the nurses at the two nurse stations. But killing them in advance will definitely make the hospital and all the doctors stand against him. Even Chen Sheng, who agreed to stand by and watch, might come down. At that time, the entire risk factor will increase dramatically, and other anchors will be in greater danger.
If they took action while escaping, it might waste time and delay the process. Even if it didn't take Shen Sang Ning much time to deal with them, it would be better not to delay them, after all, it was impossible to predict what would happen that night. Especially Brother Sun Ke, Lin Xi had no idea how powerful Brother Sun Ke was.
To be conservative, she is at least a stronger ghost than Principal Di. Principal Di was also a dean of studies 20 years ago. He is definitely strong, but not strong enough to intimidate ghosts in a city. Principal Di is the most powerful ghost Lin Xi has seen so far, except for Shen Sang Ning.
In addition, the brief encounter in the corridor before made Lin Xi convinced that Brother Sun Ke was not afraid of Shen Sang Ning.
She probably didn't want Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning to affect the human Sun Ke Ge and cause herself to have problems, so she said she would turn a blind eye, but it was definitely not because she was afraid of Shen Sang Ning. This made this copy even more difficult. An Xin also asked Lin Xi why she took Sun Ke Ge with her when she escaped, until Lin Xi gave the reason.
They also agreed that they really had to take Brother Sun Ke with them.
At Shen Sangning's reminder, they decided to play a trick first. They told Sun Kege a different time and told her to go out at 12:05, so that there would be a five-minute time difference between Sun Kege and them. This way, they could escape successfully without Sun Kege's influence.
Beyond these basic plans, they also devised supplementary ones. For example, what if the ghost driver didn't show up? What if the ghost driver became paralyzed by fear of Sun Ke? Most importantly, they wouldn't wait for anyone. After leaving the mental hospital, they still had eight hours to escape. If they continued to wait, the doctors and nurses might catch up, resulting in heavy casualties.
"So what about the one on the fourth floor? Should we tell her about the nurses' station in advance?" Meng Yuxin asked, noticing He Sitong's concerns. There were only three anchors on the fourth floor. Lin Xi was a no-brainer, Robert was someone no one cared about after learning his true identity, and the last one was the nurse anchor. He Sitong was also worried about the nurse, which was why Meng Yuxin asked this question in advance.
Lin Xi glanced at He Sitong and said, "If you want to talk to her, just tell her and explain it to her clearly. If you waste time, no one will wait for her."
"Okay!" He Sitong became happy again.
She always felt that if she had told the nurse anchor in advance, maybe she wouldn't be so nervous. Lin Xi would talk to Sun Kege. Actually, He Sitong was more likely to encounter it, so it would be better to let He Sitong talk, but Lin Xi was afraid that Sun Kege would switch to evil ghost mode again and swallow He Sitong.
When Sun Ke heard Lin Xi's plan, he was quite excited: "You even got the bus?! You're so capable, Lin Xi. I've got it in mind. It's 12:05 the day after tomorrow night, right? I definitely won't miss it!"
Three days passed quietly while everyone was waiting. The last night came quietly, and after the lights were turned off, the pink patrol nurse was nowhere to be seen for a long time. But their escape plan could not be delayed by the patrol nurse.
Lin Xi stood behind the door of her hospital bed. Through the small glass window, she could see a little of the nurses' station and the monitors hanging in the corridor outside. As time passed, Lin Xi's heart was beating fast.
Shen Sangning was standing next to her. Seeing her serious expression, she couldn't help but pull her hand and interlock her fingers. She asked Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, are you nervous?"
Lin Xi immediately shook her head, but then she remembered that this was Shen Sangning, so she dropped her pretense of being strong and nodded, "I'm quite nervous."
Shen Sang Ning asked again: "Lin Xi, are you worried that I can't beat Brother Sun Ke?"
Lin Xi pursed her lips: "Yes."
She believed in Chen Sangning's strength, and her love for her was unparalleled in the world. But Sun Ke's strength was also real. He had been a powerful figure in the world of rule-based ghost stories for over twenty years, and he was definitely no ordinary figure. Lin Xi nodded, indicating her genuine concern, and Chen Sangning didn't get angry.
She just said: "Lin Xi, it's okay, I will become the strongest ghost."
In fact, Lin Xi didn't want Shen Sang Ning to be the strongest ghost. She only hoped that Shen Sang Ning was an ordinary mortal like herself. She held Shen Sang Ning's hand tightly, and her cold fingers were clasped on the back of her hand, indicating that she was not a human. Lin Xi couldn't say what she really thought, so she could only smile and agree: "Well, my Ning Ning must be the strongest."
Shen Sangning lifted their interlocked hands and brought them to her lips, and kissed Lin Xi's fingertips with her cold lips: "So don't worry, nothing will happen tonight."
Time passed particularly slowly during the last period of time. Every time the number on the monitor jumped, it was an extremely difficult process. But for Lin Xi, she hoped that time would pass a little slower. Because when 12 o'clock came, it meant that there was only a little time left for her to spend with Shen Sang Ning in this instance.
"Okay, Ningning, I believe you."
The display jumped again, and it suddenly became 12:00.
