Chapter 135 Bright Sanatorium Jiang Yang nodded, her voice lowering slightly: ...
The office door wasn't opened until just before the evening event was about to begin.
In the office, Ji Yang, wearing a mask and a white lab coat from Mu Nashe, sat at his desk, only his tense eyes visible.
On the table are the discharge certificates submitted by other players.
But when his gaze fell on Jiang Yang, who was following behind Yue Jiang, he instantly lost his composure.
Jiang Yang's condition was not good. His dark blue hospital gown was splattered with dark red bloodstains, some of which appeared to be fresh, making it a shocking sight.
Ji Yang got up and quickly went to meet him, carefully helping him sit back on the sofa. Inevitably, his body and hands were also stained with blood.
"What happened?"
Yuejiang's face was grim, and she said irritably, "Today, we've encountered at least three waves of attacks, including from the Judges and other players."
Ji Yang squatted in front of the sofa, kneeling on one knee: "Didn't you say you were going to find Yuejiang to confirm what time the store would open tomorrow?"
"I'm fine," Jiang Yang forced a smile, but her face was as pale as paper and her voice was weak: "The wounds have been treated, and it's not all my blood."
He tried to struggle to get up, but Ji Yang reached out and pressed down on his shoulder, forcing him back down without a word: "Tell me the truth! What happened!"
Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, Jiang Yang's smile faded, leaving only a bitter expression: "It must be that the balance between me and Mu Nashe has been broken."
Ji Yang's heart sank, and he pressed, "Is it because of that card?"
Jiang Yang nodded, lowering his voice: "He's injured. If he doesn't hold that card, he's a sitting duck."
If Jiang Yang hadn't been injured, it would have been Mu Nashe.
Ji Yang opened his mouth, originally wanting to say a lot, but seeing Jiang Yang's injured body and his forced composure, all his words stuck in his throat.
He stared into the man's eyes, and finally uttered a solemn promise: "Whatever you want to do in the future, I'll be with you."
"Don't be afraid to bother me."
Jiang Yang was taken aback. He didn't let Ji Yang come with him because Ji Yang's injuries hadn't healed yet and he had stayed outside all night. That's why he had Ji Yang pretend to be the hospital director and help him collect the discharge certificate in the office.
But Ji Yang was clearly overthinking it. He straightened up and pressed his cheek against the other's chin, rubbing it slightly: "I know."
Yuejiang's cough disrupted the warmth of the moment. He flipped through the discharge certificates on his desk and asked, "Have they all been submitted?"
Ji Yang turned to look at him, his brows furrowed: "What we can confirm at the moment is that numbers 6 and 10 have been replaced."
Jiang Yang leaned back on the sofa and sighed knowingly, "No wonder he attacked me like a madman today."
"They all deserve to die."
Yuejiang's face was gloomy and his voice was as cold as ice. At that time, Jiang Yang had not yet found him. By the time he realized that Jiang Yang was in trouble, Jiang Yang already had several cuts on his body.
"You should rest for a while," Ji Yang said, taking a blanket and covering Jiang Yang with it.
Looking out the window, the night had completely fallen, and faint footsteps could be heard in the corridor of the sanatorium; it was unclear whether they belonged to a player or a judge.
Ji Yang withdrew his gaze, his tone grave: "I'm afraid tonight will be another tough battle."
...
On the fourth floor of Building 2, which is where you are right now.
Previously, there was a special ward area here called the Silent Area, which housed 14 patients.
They never speak, and doctors believe they have a rare form of aphasia.
One night, the nurse on duty noticed during rounds that the number of patients in the quiet area was decreasing by a few every hour.
At 8 p.m., there were 11 people left in the ward.
The story Jiang Yang wants to tell continues from here.
"At 1 a.m., there were still 9 people."
Jiang Yang's eyes scanned everyone in the activity room as she silently made her plans.
During the day, besides looking for Yuejiang, he would find opportunities to check the cards in everyone's hands with Yuejiang alone.
There are follow-up stories left by Munasher in the memory craniotomy treatment room, but in order to ensure a smooth departure tomorrow, he needs to make some adjustments to this basis, as he does not want to cause any unnecessary complications.
Currently, players number 1, 3, and 4 are out of action on the field.
Number 5 himself has the Ace of Spades, the 2 of Clubs, the 7 of Diamonds, and the King of Hearts.
Of course, all these cards are now with Ji Yang. Along with these cards, Ji Yang also has the 6 of Clubs, the Queen of Diamonds, and the King of Clubs in his hand.
Yuejiang then held the cards that originally belonged to Hoshino: 5 of hearts, 8 of diamonds, and 9 of clubs.
The two sat cautiously in the first row, next to the caregivers who were still sitting together, but there were obviously two fewer caregivers, probably corresponding to caregivers number 6 and 10.
To Jiang Yang's surprise, the shadowy figure in the mirror was also there, but he wasn't wearing a caregiver's uniform anymore. Instead, he was wearing a head-to-toe cloak that made him stand out in the crowd. Jiang Yang wondered who his target was.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Yang and the others, not long after they left the office, a figure quietly slipped inside.
Number 6 has only one card left in his hand and doesn't need to play any more cards.
Perhaps out of guilt, Huang Er didn't hide anything when he and Yue Jiang came to him. As a result, the identities of Ma Liang (No. 7), Chang Chuang (No. 8), Huang Er (No. 9), Shu Zhuo (No. 11), and Huang Si were all exposed, so the remaining No. 2 and No. 10 were not affected much.
...So, the first thing to do is avoid spades.
1 o'clock.
Huang Si handed over a red ace.
9 people.
The woman passed the 4 of hearts first. Originally, Shu Zhuo was supposed to pass this card, but it didn't matter. The woman looked relieved after passing it, so she probably only had one card left in her hand.
Thus, the cards in player number 10's hand can also be deduced.
Yuejiang stepped forward and added a red heart 5.
"2 a.m."
Ji Yang: Plum blossom 2.
"Eight people..."
Yuejiang: 8 of Diamonds.
Yuejiang only has one card left.
"4 a.m."
To prevent the caregiver from intercepting her speech, Jiang Yang spoke very quickly.
Tree: 4 squares.
They suddenly discovered that five of the six people who had disappeared seemed to have... returned...
Ji Yang: Plum blossom 6.
Chang Chuang: 5 of Spades.
Chang Chuang had taken the initiative to ask for this. He had a prop and had just finished researching a new tactic with Ma Liang, and he wanted to try it out.
Jiang Yang didn't refuse. He had his own considerations; he wanted to know who was responsible for the negative effects of the spade.
If only Munasher could produce such an effect, then he must consider how not to give himself away, especially since he had heard about what happened last night.
Number 6 was protected by the Jack of Spades for a time, but now he has been parasitized by the Judge again... He is not sure how many Judges are still hiding in the shadows.
Yuejiang split into demonic forces and followed Chang Chuang.
Nothing happened, and he silently shook his head at Jiang Yang.
"So where did the missing person go?"
Huang Er: Ace of Diamonds.
The doctors began a large-scale search, and before they knew it, it was seven o'clock in the morning...
Yellow 2: Red Heart 7.
Huang Er only had one card left.
"The doctor's log ended with the statement that the patient didn't leave, but was swallowed by the wall..."
"The sound of playing cards rubbing came from under the walls. Later investigation revealed that, besides that one person, all the other patients had a playing card hidden under their beds, namely..."
Ji Yang: Ace of Spades.
Ma Liang: Two of Spades.
Seemingly realizing that the event was coming to an end, some creatures began to stir.
Jiang Yang activated the puppet.
The same voice rang out from all directions, and "figures" were also hidden in the shadows and scattered throughout the activity room.
There is no 3.
Without hesitation, Li Sheng snatched one from the other NPC caregivers.
Next up is the 4 of spades, the yellow four.
Li Sheng then won two more cards, a 5 and a 6.
Ji Yang: 7 of squares.
Li Sheng won 8 again.
The 9 of spades arrived before Huang Si.
As soon as Jiang Yang took the card, a smile appeared on his lips. At the same time, Ji Yang and Li Sheng swung the card with all their might.
"You!" Number 10 looked up in shock, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his voice choked in his throat.
He didn't die...
"Sigh~" Jiang Yang whispered in his ear, "That's a pity. I'll let you off the hook, but can you hand over your 10 hearts?"
The commotion has already attracted the attention of the mirror, and it would be bad if these people joined forces to retaliate.
Jiang Yang had other plans, and he gestured to Ji Yang and Yue Jiang, who were still planning to take action.
Number 10 nervously took out his cards, then moved back blankly.
Shu Zhuo hesitated for a moment as he looked at the 10 of hearts that Jiang Yang had shown him and the 10 of spades and the King of spades that he was holding in his hand.
There was no J next.
Li Sheng originally planned to use the same trick again, but soon returned on the 10th.
He clutched a Jack of Spades in his hand, as if unwilling to accept defeat.
Yuejiang was the first to react, her demonic aura gripping Number 10's throat tightly, silently warning, "You'd better not say anything reckless."
Yuejiang was constantly on edge because of her worry for Jiang Yang. The demon also kept the entire activity room under tight surveillance, leaving her with no way to escape the demon's watchful eye.
Number 10 collapsed to the ground, clutching his throat and gasping for breath. If Jiang Yang hadn't wanted these judges to stop targeting other players, Yue Jiang would have killed him.
Ji Yang: Square Q.
Tree King: King of Spades.
Jiang Yang gave the caregiver absolutely no chance.
Before finally addressing everyone, Jiang Yang squatted down and patted Number 10's face. His expression was blank, and his voice was flat: "You probably don't want to know where that person who disappeared went, so keep your mouth shut."
"It's strange, that person was never found. He seems to have been trapped in the wall forever."
"Be careful, the wall might open again."
Before leaving the activity room, Ji Yang returned Jiang Yang's King of Hearts card, so that everyone had exactly one left.
Only... Li Sheng...
Jiang Yang searched through all of Mu Nashe's notes but couldn't find a way to deal with the two Joker cards that Li Sheng had.
On the first day, Munashe said there were a total of 54 cards, including the King and Queen.
If the caregiver and the player are using two decks of cards, there should be at least four Jokers on the field. However, Yuejiang's talent has been wasting a whole day, and there is still no sign of the other two, which is truly puzzling.
Fortunately, there's no rule that you have to have only one card in your hand to leave, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.
Here is their plan.
The team leader sent another vehicle, and Jiang Yang used his talent to replace the "Judge" who was seriously injured by the Jack of Spades as the driver.
Xiaomei said the car can be locked from the inside. So when the car arrives, they will first guide passengers number 6 and 10 onto the car, then close the compartment and start the engine.
The others went to drive another bus that had been repaired and returned directly.
If no other unexpected events occur.
...
Ji Yang has gone blind.
