Chapter 758: Chapter 538: The Female Employee Who Changed!_2 Chapter 758: Chapter 538: The Female Employee Who Changed!_2 Before long, Colin and his companion had passed through the nurous hospital buildings and finally returned to the “Outpatient Departnt.”
No sooner had they entered than the Ashen Holy Body’s breath hitched at the sight of the reception area in the center of the lobby. The previous front desk had transford into a huge, over two-ter-tall beach umbrella wedged into the ground.
This was a company prop belonging to a colleague!
Under the umbrella hung the corpse of a woman who had been suspended for who knows how long, her head tilted to one side, her skin an appalling pale…
The Ashen Holy Body opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, his last bit of hope evaporating.
Ignoring his emotions, Colin stepped into the lobby of the Outpatient Departnt, glancing briefly at the female employee’s corpse.
The body was relatively clean, lacking any typical signs of incontinence associated with hanging…
But the corpse wasn’t the focus. Colin’s gaze shifted past her, landing on the oversized LED screen not far behind her.
The LED screen, flickering with a blood-like glow, showed that apart from the guiding ssage, all subsequent content had changed.
“1. This hospital does not contain anything that defies common sense. If encountered, do not overthink to avoid coming into contact with things that should not appear. Moreover, if you co across anomalies, please look for a nearby sign. If a sign is present, follow the sign’s instructions. If no sign is available, and escaping is impossible, imdiately call for a doctor or nurse who will arrive on the scene to aid you, trustworthy…”
“2. I’m “coming” out now, you co find , I’ve been calling you, it’s fine if you co kill , I beg, hurry, I can’t hold on much longer…”
“Help…! Help ! Quick…help…get out…”
…
“Huh? The second item turned into gibberish this ti?”
Of the three items, Colin’s attention was imdiately drawn to the array of strange characters.
Unable to interpret it, he didn’t dwell on it and directly moved on to the third item.
“Help ? The line from the dream?”
Colin quickly linked this ssage with those from his dream.
He felt it must be coming from the sa entity…
“Could the one altering the rules be Brother Unyielding from the parchnt?”
Colin felt there was a possibility, but he didn’t know what the situation with that fellow currently was.
Additionally, the ultimate demand for this visit still had not appeared. It was unclear whether there would be a connection with that entity, or on the other hand, whether their smooth access thus far had involved its helping hand.
“Troubleso…”
Colin shook his head and looked back at the first item.
“Look for a sign, like the ones we passed before, the ‘no smoking’ or ‘the hospital is unattended, if singing is heard, stay away’ sort of thing?”
Colin thought for a mont. He rembered seeing so signs when they passed by, but since the threats weren’t too severe, he hadn’t cared much.
However, the signs were deep with aning and hard to find, and there was more than one anomaly in each area…
They weren’t particularly reliable either.
As for the doctors and nurses…
They said the first level was fully automated with no actual doctors or nurses, but now they suddenly claid they exist and are reliable.
Colin pursed his lips, unsure if they were saying reliability was confined to this level or sothing else…
A wrong choice could be fatal for a low-level employee!
“This damned place seems fit only for ‘Destiny Propeller’ to co, using extraordinary abilities to deduce whether these rules are correct or not, to seek other paths. Without enough strength, you’re dood.”
Of course, the foresight of “Destiny Propeller” wasn’t omnipotent; misuse could lead to direct contact with deeper horrors.
And that kind of death would likely be quite grueso…
It was just after reviewing all three rules that a new event promptly erged.
[Event Three: Proceed to the morgue, randomly select a mortuary chamber with a corpse inside, pass through the chamber to reach the tenth floor, and on that level, seek to hand over the “Psychotic” to the “Red-Robed Nurse,” ensuring they are put into the ergency room, and inject “Psychotic Madman Blood Extract” into yourself as the ergency light cos on, sinking into the next layer…]
“Note 1”: No need to leave anyone behind…
…
“The task contains a lot, but this… finding a morgue bay and lying in it to go deeper? Damn, who ca up with this hospital’s thod of delving deeper?”
“Why is it all so abstract…”
“Hiss, in the end, I couldn’t avoid this ‘Psychotic Madman Blood Extract’…”
Colin opened his mouth, feeling that his previous relief had been in vain.
However, his body, in essence, wasn’t his own, so there was nothing much to worry about. Even if it were his physical body…
The addition or absence of sothing wasn’t that big of a deal.
After all, with a multitude of things inside him, even if this substance were to enter, and were not neutralized by “Bonfire,” it would be devoured directly by “Hunger” or the Ancient God level “Beast Transformation Syndro”…
“It seems that cultivating gu in the body does have its benefits.”
Colin laughed at himself silently in his heart.
Then, he withdrew his gaze, just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard the weak voice of the Ashen Holy Body:
“She was clearly alive when we were on the first floor…”
“Eh?”
Colin was taken aback for a mont before he realized that the Ashen Holy Body was referring to the deceased female employee in the middle of the lobby.
It seed that she had a relatively good relationship with him, otherwise, he wouldn’t sound so disheartened…
As for what the other party said…
“It might have sothing to do with the special nature of this hospital,” Colin spoke.
Based on his conjecture, the deeper aspects would project to the surface, and the appearance of the hung corpse on the first floor might be because they subconsciously believed there should be a receptionist at the front desk…
So, essentially a hanging corpse, when projected, beca a receptionist—
The kind that could even speak.
However, speaking of which…
“She didn’t die very thoroughly.”
As Colin contemplated, he noticed the female employee’s corpse swaying slightly, and the noose was slackened, its mouth with the tongue protruding, and the jawbone moving with barely noticeable motions…
But the scene seed to indicate that she chose to hang herself rather than being forced by an anomaly?
Because she couldn’t escape, so she chose death?
“Brother Shunzi, could you take care of her body later?” Ashen Holy Body asked.
“I should be able to, but right now…”
Colin did not refuse, for the task did not specify the need to recover the body nor how to dispose of it. Still, after all, they were colleagues; leaving her body exposed to the elents didn’t seem right.
Without saying much, doing a small favor was still possible.
After all, helping with cremation brings lingering fragrance to the hands.
With a flick of his finger, Colin sent sparks flying for miles, instantly burning both the peculiar parasol prop and the body underneath it.
In the flas, the ghastly white skin of the corpse slowly dried and disappeared…
In comparison to the monstrous creatures consud by fire becoming charred and hideous, Colin gave her a dignified end.
However, just a few seconds into burning the body, as the water from the corpse slowly evaporated, Colin prepared to reduce her to ashes in an instant after she was completely dried.
But at that mont, Colin suddenly had a premonition, and his actions ca to a halt.
Then, he saw the shrunken eyeballs of the female employee’s corpse suddenly move and look towards him.
“I didn’t just burn her alive, did I?” Colin was stunned.
To be honest, the feel of it right now seed a bit off?
At that mont, the dried flesh of the female employee’s mouth, clinging to her jawbones, opened and closed slightly, emitting a voice as fine as a mosquito or fly.
“Run… I saw it… It’s right there, beside you… all the ti… Do not, trust its ssages…”
Hearing this, not only did Ashen Holy Body feel chills, but even Colin felt a cold shroud enveloping him.
Was there sothing that had followed them the whole way?
Colin found it hard to believe, but after the other party spoke those words, a strong premonition pierced through the veil, puncturing sothing—
Indeed, sothing seed to have been following him all along!
However, before he could attempt to understand the specific nature of the thing following him.
The female employee suddenly seed like a different person:
“Save , save , help , please help, no, no, don’t…”
She seed to be struggling against sothing, her eyes filled with a plea as she looked at Colin.
Colin understood, and with a gesture, the flas engulfed her, completely incinerating her. However, after the flas vanished, his eyebrows twitched as he saw the female employee’s corpse reappear…
This was not the source!
“Help , help…” As the plaintive words echoed repeatedly, the atmosphere of the entire place took a sinister turn.
A strong intuition told Colin that staying here any longer would most likely lead to very troubleso problems!
“Let’s go.” Without any further delay, Colin grabbed Ashen Holy Body and fled outside.
