After staring at Yin Zhu's hand for a few seconds, the doctor with the wavy hair relented: "Okay."
This rather straightforward answer showed great sincerity. Yin Zhu raised an eyebrow, calculating the probability that the other party was telling the truth.
If the doctor with the wavy hair was sincere and willing to send her away from the nursing home to get the lantern back, it means that the lantern was more important than his own life; if the doctor with the wavy hair was just trying to appease her, then it doesn't seem to explain why he would chase after her for a lantern.
Currently, all Yin Zhu knows is that this lantern can stabilize a changing space and dispel threats in the darkness, so these doctors will probably need to carry it with them when they travel.
Seeing that Yin Zhu was not moving, the doctor with the wavy hair became a little anxious and took the initiative to reach out and take it.
Yin Zhu pulled her arm away, avoiding his hand: "I have to get out, otherwise I won't give it to you. I need to ensure my safety, don't forget the seventh rule of Sin City."
7. In Sin City, do not trust anyone or anything deceitful.
This doctor is probably some kind of monster stitched together from a human and a strange creature. He usually only appears in a white coat, and only transforms into a human when needed.
Yin Zhu never trusted such beings; they were even more dangerous than the unseen creatures that humans couldn't touch.
This reaction was not unexpected for Dr. Wavy Hair, but what he cared about was not Yin Zhu's life, but that the hospital did not have a replacement lantern: "Then how can I believe that if I take you out, you will definitely be able to return the lantern to us?"
"You can only bet that I will pay it back."
Yin Zhu smiled provocatively, then added, "But this lantern is neither pretty nor very useful, so I really don't really need it."
"It's good that you don't need it... I mean, this thing is only effective in hospitals. If you call to be admitted, we'll just push a hospital bed over to pick you up, and you won't need to bring this thing," the doctor with the wavy hair tried to explain to Yin Zhu.
From his reaction, Yin Zhu already knew the gist of it: "This thing... is it a limited edition?"
"..."
The doctor with the wavy hair didn't speak, but just silently looked at Yin Zhu.
"Of course I will give it to you. As you said, this lantern won't be of any use to me after I get out... but I also need to ensure my safety."
Yin Zhu saw his expression change several times before finally settling on a smile.
"I'm just a doctor."
Dr. Wavy Hair said this.
"I don't care if you're a doctor or not. I don't even care if you're a piece of clothing. I just want to get out," Yin Zhu said coldly. "So, I hope we have a pleasant working relationship."
Grandma Yan listened quietly to their conversation from behind, then suddenly spoke up: "If you want to go out, then go and stop the clouds from spreading further."
Clouds? Clouds of sin?
Yin Zhu looked back at Grandma Yan with some confusion, but only saw her drowsy expression, as if she had just been talking in her sleep.
The doctor with the wavy hair was a little anxious, but she calmed herself down and said to Yin Zhu, "Let's go, but only you can go out on the first floor. Also, in the elevator, I'll let you go down first, then you go down."
The two quickly walked to the elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator doors opened.
Seeing that there was no one in the elevator, the woman with the wavy hair frowned, threw the lantern she was holding into the elevator, and then, after the door closed, said to Yin Zhu, "You have to give me the lantern in a bit."
"If I give it to you, how am I supposed to get out?"
Yin Zhu was surprised.
"We don't need lanterns on the first floor. Give me the lantern when you get to the first floor, and then run straight to the door without looking back." Wavy-haired girl quietly told Yin Zhu from the elevator entrance, "No matter what you hear or what blocks your way, don't be afraid, just run through it."
"phantom?"
"Anyway, you can go out now."
Dr. Wavy Hair stamped his foot anxiously, which accidentally opened the door, and he immediately shut his mouth.
A serious-looking woman stood in the elevator, dressed in a neat uniform; she must be the elevator operator as per the rules.
The doctor with the wavy hair went in first, and Yin Zhu quickly followed.
As the elevator doors closed, Yin Zhu seemed to see her own reflection on the stainless steel wall of the elevator, except that she was wearing a white coat and had empty eyes, as if her eyeballs had been gouged out.
"...Could it be that they also sourced their products from amusement parks?" Yin Zhu couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Dr. Wavy Hair looked at Yin Zhu with some puzzlement. Yin Zhu quickly looked away to avoid being noticed for her abnormality—after all, not everyone is familiar with the supernatural.
Although the doctor with wavy hair is probably no different from the weird.
After a period of training with the mirror ghost, Yin Zhu has become completely desensitized to her reflection in any reflective object, and can even appreciate her new work, "Yin Zhu's 100 Ways to Die," without any emotional fluctuation.
This looks like a romantic comedy where "every day when I come home, I see a ghost in a mirror pretending to kill me."
The doctor with the wavy hair seemed terrified of the elevator operator. He hadn't uttered a sound since entering the elevator, as if he'd been silenced. He glanced at Yin Zhu several times, seemingly trying to tell her something, but ultimately failed.
The elevator stopped very quickly.
Seeing that the doctor with the wavy hair didn't show any signs of taking action, Yin Zhu wanted to ask what was going on when she saw a man walk in from outside.
The man's belly was very large, as if he were several months pregnant.
Yin Zhu observed carefully and realized that this person was actually very likely a woman. Not only were her shoulders narrow, but she also wore brightly colored nail polish. After all, it's rare for a man to have such a peculiar hobby. Shouldn't such vibrant nail art be a woman's prerogative?
