Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Blessing-Type Special Items
In the past couple of days, Xiaohe had seen countless ghosts that killed people. They were fierce and tyrannical, treating the living as toys and freely venting the negative emotions in their souls.
What was even more horrifying was that so of the souls who were killed by the ghosts, influenced by curses and negative emotions, also transford into monsters and joined the slaughter.
Seeing the people around her change one by one, Xiaohe had already despaired. She had even thought about ending her own life with her own hands, but every ti she chose to die, sothing unexpected would happen. Only now did she realize that these incidents might not be coincidental but instead crafted “coincidences” by so “patients.”
Laying in Uncle Ying’s bed, Xiaohe watched as a monster that resembled an insect slowly devoured Aunt Zhang’s body with the mouth on its abdon. The usually elegant elderly lady who cared greatly about her appearance simply blinked at Xiaohe in her last monts, as if to tell Xiaohe to lie down properly.
The farewell happened in an instant; before Xiaohe could utter a word, Aunt Zhang was dragged into the darkness by the monster.
She felt that Aunt Zhang had intentionally made a noise to protect herself and her child. The old lady, who ticulously dressed every day despite her terminal illness, had a character as delicate and beautiful as her appearance.
Lying on the tal table in the morgue, Xiaohe suddenly felt not so afraid. She hadn’t done anything wrong to those patients; she was one of the few nurses in this private hospital who completely considered the patients’ needs. Now, as a great disaster struck, those she had cared for began to shield her from the storm.
“Where does the hallway deep in the morgue lead to? I rember Doctor Wang once sternly warned everyone in the departnt never to enter the morgue on their own.”
Before long, the door to the morgue was suddenly pushed open, and more monsters crawled into the room, their split bellies biting into one living person after another, like mouths.
“What do they want to do?”
Peeking through the gaps in the white cloth, Xiaohe noticed that all the people the monsters captured shared one characteristic: handso and strong, with no obvious physical flaws at least on the surface.
“These don’t seem to be people from the hospital. The monsters are obeying sothing, using the hospital as a den and actively seeking nearly perfect-bodied living humans in the city!” Xiaohe realized that the hospital she was in likely harbored a very terrifying monster. This creature, unlike ordinary resentnt spirits, still retained human thought and reason and could even control and create other monsters!
“No wonder Uncle Ying didn’t send away. If we had walked out of the hospital just now, we would have run straight into this large group of monsters. There are probably similar monsters around the hospital that haven’t returned yet.”
The more Xiaohe thought about it, the more frightened she beca. She also started to worry about Uncle Ying’s safety. The old man was known for being helpful and ddling in others’ affairs. His actions of saving people in the hospital might attract the attention of the most terrifying ghost deep within the hospital.
Just as she had this thought, Xiaohe heard Doctor Wang’s voice from her departnt, which imdiately gave her a bad feeling.
“Old man, I previously didn’t bother with you because you once helped , but now you keep causing trouble, so don’t bla for being unsympathetic.”
“Wang Guiling! I must have been blind to help you placate the patients’ families! You animal in human skin! You even dared to steal organs ant for saving patients’ lives!” Uncle Ying’s voice was loud, his tone fierce and angry, like a raging lion.
“Keep cursing, the more the better. Once I sacrifice you to the divine spirits, you’ll forget everything and beco an obedient dog, no longer having to endure the pain of being human.” The sound of skin tearing followed, and Xiaohe’s heart clenched. She slightly turned her head and lifted the white cloth with her finger to peek outside through the gap.
Two nurses held Uncle Ying’s arms, while Doctor Wang ripped a long slit across Uncle Ying’s chest and abdon, revealing the rotting, foul-slling organs inside.
“No matter how good of a person you were alive, your body will still stink and beco filthy after you die,” said Doctor Wang, his eyes bloodshot as he began to get abnormally excited upon seeing the human organs. He casually tore at Uncle Ying’s organs, “What’s the use of being a good person? I helped you, but would I spare you because of that?”
He held Uncle Ying’s heart in his hand, “I thought the heart of a good person was blood-red, but it turns out even the heart of a good person can rot and stink, eh?”
“Wang Guiling, I don’t care if I die. At least I lived freely! Unlike you, troubled in life and haunted by resentnt in death! You deserve it!” Even as his heart was held by the other, Uncle Ying wasn’t scared and even wore a smile on his face.
“You think you lived freely?” Wang Guiling’s expression darkened, “You’ve helped so many people and saved so many lives; now that you’re in trouble, look around, is there anyone coming to save you?”
As he was about to crush Uncle Ying’s heart, he suddenly felt a pain in his calf.
Looking down, he saw the boy called Xiaozai clutching his leg, biting fiercely and refusing to let go.
Xiaozai, who suffered from bone cancer, had only one leg and one arm, but he was the first to crawl over.
“Xiaozai?” Uncle Ying’s expression changed, worry flooding his eyes.
The boy heard Uncle Ying call his na, his lips curling upward slightly. He lifted his head, his face showing not a trace of fear towards Doctor Wang, feeling as if this mont was the only ti he truly lived since he was born.
“I should have cut off all your limbs from the start!” Wang Guiling roared, his foot stomping towards the boy’s head.
Seeing this, Xiaohe couldn’t hold back any longer. As she clenched her fists, white cloths from the morgue toppled to the floor, and all the deceased patients sat up.
“What, what do you want to do?” Wang Guiling didn’t expect things to escalate to this level, and he started to panic.
No one knew who struck first, but in an instant, Wang Guiling and two nurses were pinned to the ground by departed souls, igniting everyone’s resentnt.
“The Divine Spirit is beneath us, and yet you dare to resist?!” Wang Guiling shrieked. Sothing seed to be buried within those two nurses, and at Wang Guiling’s provocation, their scalps split open, and countless butterflies flew out of their brains.
The floor of the morgue trembled slightly, and a mass of butterfly-patterned bloodstains crawled out from beneath, like a giant hand wanting to crush everything.
The iron door of the morgue was also driven by a force, beginning to close slowly.
“Xiaohe! You go first! Run east! The ghosts on that road have disappeared for so reason!” Uncle Ying and the other patients’ souls pushed Xiaohe out, while they got locked inside the morgue.
Screams began to resonate continuously inside the morgue, and Xiaohe knew she couldn’t save everyone with her strength alone, so she bit her teeth and ran towards the eastern corridor.
“There should still be others outside the hospital, run out! Find others to save everyone!”
Sprinting with all her might, but just a few steps later, a monster leaped out from behind the nurse’s station, its belly up, limbs touching the ground, its head upside down, staring dead at Xiaohe.
“Co on! I’m not afraid of you!” Xiaohe looked around, found nothing she could use as a weapon, and when she turned back, the monster was already speedily crawling upside down on the ground coming straight toward her!
She drew blood from biting her lips, the despair she had suppressed for two days ignited, and she scread running headlong towards the monster.
But before she could even reach the monster, an arm soaked white erged from the hospital’s sewer, and a bewildered Water Ghost crawled out.
The monster pounced on the Water Ghost, giving Xiaohe the chance to dash past it, heading toward the eastern corridor.
She didn’t know why the eastern part of the hospital would be safe but she trusted Uncle Ying.
The monster with its belly up didn’t waste much ti on the Water Ghost, it eyed Xiaohe’s decent physique and quickly crawled toward her.
The distance between them kept shrinking, and Xiaohe couldn’t shake it off, her heart growing more desperate, just as she was about to give up, several living people ca walking out of the eastern corridor.
The man at the front was holding a knife handle, dressed in a black suit.
The mont Xiaohe saw the man, she thought to herself, these monsters are specifically looking for handso and good-looking living people, and this man would definitely beco their target!
“Run!” she scread at the living people in the corridor, but then she witnessed a shocking scene.
A massive monster, over five ters tall, tore through the hospital’s walls, erging in an incredibly violent manner right behind the man.
“What, what kind of monster is this?”
“Don’t be afraid, it’s my pet.” The man looked at Xiaohe, also quite astonished, “Why do you bear the blessings of dozens of Ghosts and Monsters? Protected by a hundred ghosts? Are you the daughter of the Ghost King?”
Xiaohe didn’t understand what he was talking about; she hadn’t figured out the current situation yet.
“No, that aura cos from the tag on your ankle. That’s an extrely rare special item!” The man advanced with the monster, his eyes not on the monster with its belly slit, only on Xiaohe: “My na is Han Fei, a mber of the citizen’s self-rescue organization. Can you tell who gave you the tag on your foot?”
