Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 588 The Return of the Ghost Doctor
Xiao Ran turned to look at the girl, but did not respond. She simply looked at her calmly, gesturing for her to continue.

“You may not believe it, but I’m not exaggerating. She told me that the people in Changchun think they’re doing something very safe, but they don’t know that things are starting to change in the Lost City. In a few days, her mother will wake up, and then everyone here will die.”

Xiao Ran frowned; this sentence didn't seem fabricated.

The Lost City has been established, and many great evil spirits hidden within it have begun to awaken.

Take Bone Spirit Street for example. There are quite a few people like Sister Liu. Sister Liu also said that as long as Bone Spirit Street is established, they will do everything they can to leave Bone Spirit Street.

And Li Ji was precisely one of the guardians who prevented them from leaving.

If we think about it this way, does that mean Changchun has really overlooked something?

Unfortunately, since Beast Lord was the leader in charge of expanding the organization, he didn't know much about the inside story.

"Okay, I understand. Who is this 'she' you were talking about?"

"She is who she is, she has no name, I have never even actually met her, but she appears in my dreams whenever I am asleep."

"In a dream?"

Xiao Ran's mind raced, and in an instant, she connected all the clues she knew.

Soon, Xiao Ran had roughly figured out the overall market trend.

The dark figure I observed outside the building yesterday is probably the one the girl was talking about.

This guy should be the core of the hospital, just like Zhang Lu from the Seventh Middle School back then.

This girl is probably sealed in the core area of ​​the hospital. The simplest way to destroy the hospital is to send her to the afterlife. Once the source is gone, the hospital will also collapse.

However, it seems that the situation has changed somewhat now.

"I understand. Go back to sleep. We'll talk properly tomorrow."

Xiao Ran gestured for the girl to go back.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Zhang Qi".

"Is this your name?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Seeing Zhang Qi's blank expression, Xiao Ran thought for a moment but decided not to correct her. After sending Zhang Qi back, Xiao Ran went straight to the intensive care unit.

Upon reaching the iron gate on the third floor, Xiao Ran tried to open it, but a force pushed her away.

"Warning! You do not have permission to enter the intensive care unit and are not allowed to enter the intensive care unit."

Seeing the warning that appeared in front of him, Xiao Ran felt helpless. He couldn't forcefully break through this kind of access, so it seemed he could only wait.

He walked back and came to the door of the saint's room. He glanced at him through the glass, and the saint seemed to sense something, opened his eyes and looked in Xiao Ran's direction.

After the two looked at each other for a while, the saint simply closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran walked to the door of the other room of the madman with double pupils. She could hear snoring inside without even looking, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

So Xiao Ran turned around and pushed open the door to the room of the ancient emperor. Ever since Xiao Ran beat him up, the ancient emperor had been sleeping more soundly.

Sensing someone enter, Wang Bo instinctively opened his eyes, raised his hand, and kicked at Xiao Ran, shouting, "Six Paths of Reincarnation Kick!"

Of course, Wang Bo, who lacked magical powers, had clearly not mastered the Six Paths Reincarnation Kick. After Xiao Ran easily dodged it, she raised her hand and punched Wang Bo in the abdomen.

The punch wasn't very powerful, but it almost made Wang Bo faint. His mouth involuntarily opened wide, and Xiao Ran casually tossed the red pill into his mouth.

After giving Wang Bo the pills, Xiao Ran staggered back, and as she left, she could still hear Wang Bo's angry roar.

"I am the Primordial Heavenly Emperor! You brat, when I regain my cultivation, I will make you wish you were dead!!"

Xiao Ran ignored Wang Bo's curses. In Xiao Ran's eyes, this beast who killed her whole family was not even as good as a cat, dog, chicken or duck. What did it matter to her how he roared?

The subsequent ward rounds around 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. went smoothly.

Xiao Ran did not encounter any of those strange and bizarre tales.

He remained full of energy until dawn.

This is why he isn't worried about the [dream] curse that's on him.

His mental strength has exceeded 100 points. If Xiao Ran doesn't want to sleep, he won't feel sleepy even if he stays up for ten days and ten nights.

By the time I get sleepy, I'll have already demolished the hospital.

Xiao Ran continued to work as usual for the next two days.

During the day, I perform normal surgeries on those patients, and at night I make my rounds.

But what Xiao Ran found strange was that since that night's room check, the strange tale rules had not appeared around her anymore.

It seems that the power that was originally directed at me gradually disappeared at some point.

Compared to Xiao Ran's ease, Jin Chanzi's situation is more troublesome. The Observation Tower has been making strange noises and rules these past two days, and it seems that the forces originally targeting Xiao Ran have started to focus all their efforts on the Observation Tower.

Just last night, two members of the Changchun Society encountered a strange tale. One of them survived, but the other had his human skin ripped off while he was still alive.

Jin Chanzi had no choice but to use talismans to exorcise demons around the observation tower. As for the effect, in Jin Chanzi's words, it was enough to put his mind at ease.

He was naturally relieved, and taking advantage of the flower talisman incident, he asked Qilin for a lot of good things.

Sometimes Xiao Ran really wondered if Jin Chanzi was hiding some kind of spatial cursed object in his pocket. How did he manage to hide all that random stuff in his pocket? "Doctor Wu, have you thought it through? Time is running out."

In the hospital corridor, Zhang Qi looked out at the empty playground and asked Xiao Ran a question.

"What have you decided? If I want to leave, I just want to be able to walk out without a care in the world." Xiao Ran walked to Zhang Qi's side and waved the ID card in her hand.

The ward rounds over the past two days have allowed him to complete his third side quest. With all three side quests completed, he can turn around and leave the hospital at any time. It's no exaggeration to say that if he wanted to, he could kill all of Qilin and the others without any problem and then leave without any issue.

“That’s not what I meant. I want to take her with me.”

"That's not what you said that night?"

"I……"

Zhang Qi blushed and lowered her head: "That night you suddenly came out. I didn't know if you were friend or foe. What could I say?"

"so what?"

"Actually, I was trying to enter the intensive care unit that night, but you saw me," Zhang Qi said, lowering his head.

"The intensive care unit? You don't have permission to enter."

"Let's find our way out first. She told me that there will be a major riot in a couple of days, and the authorities here will stop working. I want to take advantage of the chaos to rescue her."

Faced with Zhang Qi's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh: "You're so adorably innocent. There are experts guarding the intensive care unit. Do you really think you can break in?"

In Beast Master's memory, there were two 3D-level assassins who took turns lurking in the intensive care unit year-round.

Zhang Qi, a complete novice, would probably die as soon as he entered the room, let alone save anyone.

"I……"

Facing Xiao Ran's sarcasm, Zhang Qi's eyes reddened: "I've actually been here for a long time. The people who came in with me are all dead. If it weren't for her helping me in my dreams, I wouldn't be alive now, or even..."

Zhang Qi took a deep breath: "I watched with my own eyes as my classmate who came in with me had something dark stuffed into her stomach. That thing kept getting bigger and bigger, and after it choked her to death, it even crawled out of her mouth. If it weren't for her comforting me and protecting me every time I fainted, I would have gone crazy long ago."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran frowned, but ultimately did not tell Zhang Qi that her purpose was exactly the opposite of his.

"Are you sure there will be riots in a couple of days?"

"Yes, definitely, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day."

"I understand. You should go back and rest early. When you have the chance, leave as soon as possible. This is none of your business."

Having obtained the information she wanted, Xiao Ran turned and left, showing no intention of taking Zhang Qi with her to rescue the people.

Perhaps, keeping a novice like her out of the picture is itself a form of protection for her.

As soon as I returned to the duty room, the caregiver Avatar came looking for me.

"Fifth Brother, hurry up, Qilin is looking for you everywhere."

"Find me?"

"Yes, it seems like it's something important."

Xiao Ran frowned, thinking, "Could it be that they're asking me about instructing him on boxing?"

To be honest, Xiao Ran had never even thought about this, and didn't even want to think about it. Qilin's talent was absolutely one in a million, a peerless waste.

I'm not some kind of unparalleled master, so I really can't teach you even a little bit.

Seeing Avatar's anxious expression, it seemed that something really had happened, so I followed Avatar to the office building.

Upon entering, they discovered that the Green-Boned Demon and the Golden Toad were also there.

"What's going on? You guys got caught?"

Xiao Ran looked at the two of them and asked in her heart.

"There was a slight accident last night; another test subject died." Jin Chanzi was quite embarrassed. He thought his talisman would work, but it almost wiped out the remaining two test subjects.

Upon seeing that Xiao Ran had arrived, Qilin quickly said, "Fifth Brother, please sit down first, let's wait a little longer."

"Wait? Wait for whom?"

Xiao Ran looked at Taurus with suspicion, while the Old Demon Qinghai transmitted his voice, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

I waited for about ten minutes.

Finally, at Xiao Ran's signal, the old demon Qinghai suddenly stood up and impatiently cursed, "What the hell? You made me wait so long. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to play games."

"Brother Niu, it's not...you..."

Just as Qilin was about to appease the old demon Qinghai, a cold laugh came from outside the door: "Heh, I could hear your mad bull bellowing from far away. I thought I had entered the cattle pen."

As they were talking, the office door was pushed open, and a man wearing a small hat led a group of people in.

When Xiao Ran saw the man, she recognized him immediately; he was none other than the hospital's head, Ghost Doctor.

"This guy actually rushed back from outside?"

Just as Xiao Ran was surprised, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply as an unexpected figure appeared in the crowd.

The other person stared at him in shock, exclaiming in surprise, "It's you!!"
