"W-what is it?"
The head nurse's gaze was somewhat evasive.
"Do you really think we know nothing? Then why did we get here?"
Jiang Ran's smile was terrifying in the head nurse's eyes.
What kind of background does someone with a near-god-level bodyguard have? The head nurse knew that Jiang Ran was definitely not just an ordinary patient at the hospital!
"No... I can't tell! I'll die if I do!" The head nurse clutched her face, on the verge of a breakdown. "Since you already know, there was no need to ask me!"
"If you don't tell me, I can take care of you right now."
Upon hearing this, the head nurse realized that Jiang Ran had been bluffing her! But things had already come to this point, and if she didn't say something, she probably wouldn't be able to leave this office!
"You only have one chance. Trust me, I can tell if you're lying. I hope you'll think it over carefully before you speak."
The man before her gave the head nurse a profound sense of crisis!
"Please come with me. It's not something that can be explained in words." The head nurse opened the office door. "Once you see it for yourself, you'll know everything."
Where to?
"Third floor, research and development lab."
Jiang Ran and the other person followed the head nurse back to the elevator.
Jiang Ran looked back at the location of the stairs. If the other floors could not be reached by going up or down the stairs, then where could one reach by going up the stairs on the fifth floor?
"Sir, please come in."
The head nurse has already entered the elevator.
"Wait a minute, if I go down one floor of the stairs, where will I end up?"
"You'll go straight to the basement level, whether you go up or down, it will be the same result, boss."
Therefore, the fifth floor and the basement can be understood as an independent space, and the only passage connecting these two spaces is the elevator.
The three entered the elevator, and the head nurse pressed the button for the third floor. This time, the elevator was calm, and the three arrived at the third floor without any problems.
A nurse covered in blood rushed in front of the three, and the head nurse immediately gave her a hard thud on the head!
"Look carefully at who I am! You idiot!"
"Come on, boss, this way."
The nurse obediently withdrew, and Jiang Ran followed closely behind the head nurse, walking around several corridors until they arrived at a secluded door.
The head nurse fiddled with the door, and with a creak, she successfully opened the door to the research and development room.
Jiang Ran first smelled a putrid odor, followed by the smell of an unknown medicine.
Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is the dusty equipment, while the right side of the entire research and development room is filled with a whole row of large tanks, from which countless pipes extend.
The jar initially contained a yellowish solution, inside which were tiny, infant-like objects—no, they might actually be infants, but because the equipment here hadn't been used for a long time, these infants, deprived of nutrition, had become stillborn.
"here......"
"This is the research and development lab."
"Using babies for research and development?!"
Gwen was somewhat surprised, but she also felt a strange sense of rationality about the plot, after all, this was a world of ghost stories.
Jiang Ran touched the tanks: "So, what exactly is the research and development being done here?"
“I don’t know.” The head nurse shook her head. “They just told me to keep an eye on this place and said something like ‘this is all for humanity, and the necessary sacrifices are worthwhile.’ I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but as long as they pay me, I’ll help them.”
These nurses are fully aware that they are supernatural beings, yet they strangely retain their former way of thinking.
"No one is giving you money anymore, so why are you still staying in this hospital?"
"Nobody? No way, no way!" The head nurse smiled mysteriously again. "They'll definitely come back, and then, then I'll have lots and lots of money!"
"Oh, right! Boss! You absolutely can't tell them I brought you here! I... I can give you money! Lots and lots of money!"
The head nurse was somewhat at a loss, grabbing her hair!
"Otherwise, otherwise they'll kill me!"
"who are they?"
“They…it’s them!” The head nurse scratched two large bloody marks on her face, and two streams of bloody tears flowed down her cheeks. She was filled with confusion, and this didn’t seem like acting.
The door to the research lab slammed shut! All three were inside, none of them near the door. Suddenly, the head nurse panicked, leaning against the wall and covering her head with her hands: "No! Don't come looking for me! I didn't want to come today!"
She ran to the door and pounded on it frantically, drawing blood from her hands. At the same time, the sound of a baby crying rang out from inside the room!
"No! It wasn't me!"
Bang!
The large jar shattered with a crash! The solution, carrying the baby's body, spilled onto the ground, and the crying grew even louder, creating a tremendous noise mingled with the head nurse's banging on the door.
The infant corpses on the ground were mixed together, their flesh and blood intertwined, resembling some kind of hideous monster, and this monster reached out and grabbed the head nurse's ankle!
"don't want!"
Before Jiang Ran and Gwen's eyes, the monster devoured the head nurse piece by piece.
Jiang Ran didn't sympathize with her, but felt it was a pity that she couldn't get any more information out of her.
After devouring the head nurse, the monster on the ground slowly moved towards Jiang Ran.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Gwen pulled out the scissors and pointed them at it. "There's a reason for this! If you try to lay a hand on us, I won't just stand there like an idiot!"
prick--
The lights in the entire research and development room came on, the instruments emitted piercing alarms, red lights flashed continuously, and the screens displayed inconsistent data!
The monster on the ground instantly shrank back into one of the large jars, filling the already damaged jar to the brim. The instruments emitted puffs of smoke, and an electric current was released from the jar. The monster's body began to convulse violently!
"Its aura is increasing!" Gwen immediately noticed something was wrong. "This jar is strengthening it in some way. Perhaps we need to stop this machine!"
[Rule 2: Power has been cut off here for many years, so please stay away from any areas with lights on. If you see any powered-on or running equipment anywhere, please turn it off immediately. If you cannot turn it off, please destroy the equipment immediately.]
"Gwen, do you know to what extent this device will enhance this thing?"
"I don't know about that, but this thing's aura is already very close to that of the [Demon King]."
Jiang Ran tried to turn off the device, but he had never operated this thing before, so he had no idea how to turn it off.
"Forget it! Gwen! Just smash this thing! Remember to be gentle! Don't smash through this floor!"
