Xuan Wen and Yang Yu entered Li San Hospital together. She was not worried about Yang Yu escaping. As long as the letter of debt was still there, Xuan Wen had a way to find the other person. Xuan Wen wiped the blood on the letter of debt on a blank death portrait. She watched as the blood slowly spread into the death portrait. Her lips moved as she summoned Yang Yu.

Xuan Wen’s power was unique. With her summons, the bloodstain faded and melted into the shadow. It created Yang Yu’s silhouette.

“The kid is very cute. He has always been protected by his family. He doesn’t know how dangerous the world is.” Yang Yu in the death portrait had nothing to do with ‘cute’. However, no one there cared about appearances. In the portrait, Yang Yu was like a kid waking up. His eyes flew open, and he looked at Xuan Wen in disbelief. He waved his hands like he was banging on an invisible mirror.

“Tell your parents to come fetch us.” Xuan Wen’s tone made Yang Yu’s hair stand on end. “If she doesn’t, they might never see you again.”

The blood moved on the death portrait. Yang Yu screamed from fear. Gao Ming and the red raincoat focused their attention on the surroundings. About ten seconds later, the iron cupboard that was the deepest in the morgue opened from the inside. The cupboard was originally used to store various items. The clothes of the dead hung inside it, and bones that had not been cleaned.

The thick arms were pierced by iron nails. A man in a strange flowery dress crawled out. His body shook like he was scared, but there was no trace of fear on his face. The man had long hair and blood on his lips. His lips occasionally opened to reveal his blackened teeth.

“Is he… your mother?” Gao Ming asked uncertainly. Yang Yu hadn’t said anything, but the man had already nodded madly.

His eyes wandered between the red raincoat and the God of Flesh and Blood. The man cleverly chose to surrender. He mumbled for a long time as if trying to speak after he hadn’t spoken for decades. Finally, he gurgled out, “I… I’ve seen you before. You said you would never return.”

“Seen me?” Gao Ming had no impression of Yang Yu’s family.

The man knocked over the cart beside him. The things on the cart were scattered everywhere. His mutated arms picked up a heartless corpse. “You were lying beside a corpse. I still haven’t found that corpse.”

“He probably is not lying. You have been to Li San Hospital before you met me.” Xuan Wen had seen the recording between Lu Zang and Gao Ming in the psychiatry counselling room.

“I was lying beside a corpse?!” Gao Ming thought of a possibility. “Is that corpse a patient? Did he call himself Question?”

“I can’t remember. I only know that he lives in Room 7003. I’ve been looking for him.” The man pointed at the giant wound on his neck. “This was the punishment the doctors gave us after we lost him.”

“The patient in Room 7003 should be Question. I was with him during the last period of my memory. However, hasn’t he woken up from the dream? Why did he turn into a corpse?” Gao Ming was desperate to leave, so he didn’t have much time to contemplate these things. “The divine figurines inside the Li San Hospital have awakened. This place will be destroyed soon. If you know the exit, we can leave together.”

“Doctor Lu said that you’d come here. I’ve already opened the exit for you.” The man said so, but his body didn’t move. “He also told me that you could help me remove the broken medical device from my body and aid me in escaping the hospital curse.”

“Remove the medical device?”

“Yes. This is what I’m talking about.” The man took out a serrated knife from the cupboard. He cut open the scar that extended from his neck to his shoulder. An iron cage was installed in his chest. His mutated heart was like a bird flapping its wings in the cage. “I’ve tried removing it myself, but once I touched the medical device, the cursed doctors would come. This thing meant that I couldn’t leave the hospital.”

After some thought, Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood open the door of the torture room. The roomful of patients was shocked. They shared a look with the man. They saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

“Come. Lay on the surgical table.” Gao Ming had stolen the surgical table of the Li San Hospital. Even the two doctors' ghosts were inside his heart. With the two’s help, the iron cage in the man’s chest was slowly removed. Since the surgery was conducted inside Gao Ming’s heart, the cursed doctors were not triggered.

The man was excited about tasting imminent freedom. His eyes turned cruel and dangerous. The man had to be twisted and crazy to be chosen by Lu Zang as the guard. Only the crazy would be admired by Lu Zang.

The iron cage was only halfway removed when Gao Ming told the doctors to stop. “You can finish the rest after we leave the hospital.”

The man was not dumb. He obediently told Gao Ming the method to leave.

He took out a smelly key from the wound on his stomach. After he tossed it to Gao Ming, he pointed at the mortuary cabinets. “The door to leave is hidden in the fourth cabinet of the fourth row.”

Gao Ming opened the cabinet. There was a bloody door inside it. It was covered in warm blood.

“I’ve conducted the sacrifice for you.” The man chuckled. He seemed to have enjoyed the sacrifice.

The key was pushed into the hole. The haunting breeze blew in from outside the door. The shadows gathered at the door like crazy.

“We can finally leave.” Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood and the red raincoat return to the torture room. He and Xuan Wen escaped.

Before the shadow dissipated, Gao Ming closed the door.

Inside the door was the dead shadow world. Outside the door was Han Hai, where he had grown up. The experience that night overturned his worldview. Even if he was back in real life, he felt uncomfortable.

“The feud between the investigation centre and me is set.” After killing a security team leader, he indirectly caused the death of two teams. He also harmed the remaining seven teams. He had caused more damage to the security department than the shadow world did.

“When the mud figurines and the security members are out, I assume Li San Hospital will become a Level Five Anomaly.” Xuan Wen didn’t know how scary the mud figurines were. However, based on their presence, no one at Han Hai could destroy them.

“Go back to inform Zhang Ding to be ready. Furthermore, I need you to release the latest horror game rules through the Dead Water forum. We have to try to keep as many citizens alive as we can.” Gao Ming glanced at the time. “The sky is still bright. I’ll bring Xia Yang to the other city locations.”
