Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 601, Fourth Floor
Xiao Ran couldn't be bothered to argue with this saint.

Actually, I was a bit intimidated at first, because under these rules, anything is possible.

Even if there are countless methods and techniques, they are ultimately just a trick to deceive people. So there is no reason why a madman could become a true saint under the rules.

If he were truly a saint, why would he need to rely on the power of rules?

After thinking about Wang Bo's case, Xiao Ran's mind cleared up immediately. When he said that his evaluation of this sage was not actually high, the mountain in his heart had turned into a small mound.

If Xiao Ran wanted to, she could easily turn around and beat this saint to a pulp, but she didn't have the time to waste on a lunatic like him.

The successive materialization of Wang Bo and the sage made Xiao Ran feel increasingly threatened by Zhang Qi's existence.

We must find her as soon as possible.

When Xiao Ran arrived at the stairwell between the second and third floors, the iron door that had been closed was now open, with a key inserted in the door.

He believed that the Ghost Doctor and his team wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

Xiao Ran pulled out the key. It was obviously a newly made key, very rough, with the handle not even polished and having some barbs.

"It must have been Li Xuyin who secretly made a copy of this key."

Xiao Ran speculated in her mind.

Zhang Qi is a patient; let alone coming into contact with the Ghost Doctor, she would probably have a hard time even coming into contact with Qilin.

Li Xuyin is a doctor. Although the Ghost Doctor didn't seem to like him very much, there's a reason why Li Xuyin has survived here until now.

If he didn't have exceptional skills, given the nature of the Ghost Doctor and his gang, they would have turned Li Xuyin into a useless resource long ago.

Therefore, Li Xuyin had the opportunity to access the key, and secretly making a copy would not have been difficult for him.

These two, colluding together, are truly a match made in heaven.

Xiao Ran casually put the key into her pocket, then opened the iron gate and stepped onto the third-floor stairs.

"Warning: You have entered the critical care core area. The maximum number of negative stars has increased to 28, and the number of negative stars you carry has doubled."

With a warning, the two negative stars above Xiao Ran's head suddenly became four.

"Damn, there's a trap here. The previous warning didn't mention that it would double." Xiao Ran looked at the four dark negative stars above her head and couldn't help but complain, but then she silently thanked the head nurse in her heart.

"Thanks to the head nurse."

Xiao Ran looked at the negative stars above her head. These were no ordinary troublesome things. If the head nurse hadn't helped her and allowed her to enter the ICU clean, she probably would have walked into the ICU with seven negative stars on her head.

Adding the negative stars of Wang Bo and the sage, if I were to step into this situation, I would have at least eighteen negative stars above my head.

With eighteen negative stars, Xiao Ran didn't even dare to imagine that if she encountered a madman like Wang Bo with so many negative stars, it wouldn't be so easy for her to defeat him.

"Isn't there any other way to eliminate some of these negative stars?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should have asked the head nurse to bring a mentally ill person by her side to help her get rid of the negative stars above her head.

But there's no going back now; I can't just go back and grab another lunatic.

Putting aside the question of how effective this would be, what if they went back to the third floor and the price doubled again?

"and many more!!"

Xiao Ran suddenly widened her eyes and turned to look at the iron gate she had closed, a bad feeling immediately rising in her heart.

"Damn it! Someone actually exploited a bug!"

Neither Zhang Qi nor the Ghost Doctor should have made such a basic mistake as leaving the door wide open.

Unless this was not a mistake, but rather intentional.

By repeatedly entering and exiting, they continuously accumulate negative stars on their bodies. In just a few times, they can accumulate up to twenty-eight stars. Wouldn't the two of them accumulate to fifty-six stars?
With so many negative celebrities, what are they trying to do?

Xiao Ran felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it: "Hopefully they haven't gone up to the fifth floor yet."

Xiao Ran remembered that in Beast Master's memory, the fifth floor was sealed with a special door. Unless it was the head of the Changchun Society or a person in charge like Ghost Doctor, no one had the key to open the door.

Even if Li Xuyin could secretly make a copy of the key to the third floor, it would be impossible for him to access such confidential information as the fifth floor.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran felt a little more relaxed and immediately quickened her pace.

After the third floor, this is the core area where Changchun Hui is located within the hospital, a crucial area for the entire hospital's operation.

Through the glass window, Xiao Ran saw a woman hanging naked in mid-air, arranged in a stark, star-shaped pattern.

Her body was covered in tubes, and her abdomen had been dissected, revealing a black tumor slowly wriggling beneath her skin.

Xiao Ran glanced at the medical records next to her.

The above content made Xiao Ran feel nauseous.

Zhang Lin, 27 years old, professional E-level embroiderer, E-level blood curse, has died four times and received the blessing of evil gods three times. Her medicinal tumor is developing well.

The notebook also contains records of Zhang Lin's four deaths.

Even Xiao Ran felt a chill when she saw the contents above.

The first time, they crushed her in a meat grinder, grinding her to pieces bit by bit. The second time, they threw Zhang Lin into a furnace and burned her to death.

The third time, they peeled her skin while looking in the mirror. This time, Zhang Lin was injected with a pain-relieving drug so that she could not feel any pain. At the same time, a mirror was placed in front of her.

Let her watch as her skin is peeled off inch by inch.

The fourth time, they captured Zhang Lin's relatives, forced Zhang Lin to kill them, and then drove him to despair and commit suicide.

"grass!"

Looking at the details recorded above, Xiao Ran couldn't help but curse and slammed her fist against the wall.

Re-reactor!

How could anyone think of something so bizarre?

The industries of Changchun Hui cannot function without the help of this strange contraption.

Each time, he can throw his shattered body into the regeneration furnace to be reborn, and he will forget his memories before his death.

However, even after being reborn, they cannot change their nature as corpses. As long as they leave the regeneration furnace, the bodies they create will die immediately.

If you only look at the effects, this thing can actually be used to benefit the local area.

But that's not actually the case, because this thing requires a huge amount of resentment to ignite the fire.

The stronger the resentment, the brighter the fire in the furnace.

Therefore, the businesses operated by the Changchun Club have become increasingly shady, and they are happy to do so in order to maximize their own profits.

Xiao Ran simply hadn't expected these beasts to be so inhuman.

Xiao Ran continued walking forward with a dark expression.

Transparent glass rooms kept appearing all around, and most of the people hanging inside were in a half-dead state.

Some people who retained their consciousness looked up when they noticed someone approaching, but upon seeing Xiao Ran's white coat, they closed their eyes in disappointment.

After passing through the corridor, you should be in an area that serves as an activity room, but instead of an activity room, there is a shrine.

The statue inside the shrine was wrapped in red cloth, and Xiao Ran could smell the blood from afar.

The red cloth on the shrine was clearly soaked in blood and dyed red.

The shrine was also stained blood red.

Looking at Xiao Ran, she saw that on the altar in front of the shrine were placed parts such as the heart, lungs, liver, and intestines, and behind them was a spirit tablet.

The words “Position of Evil God and Punisher” were clearly written on it.

Recalling what she had just seen on her medical record, Xiao Ran looked at the shrine in front of her and couldn't help but spit coldly: "You dare to call yourself a god?!"

I myself had once relied on the power of Xingxie; that was when I first entered the Lost City for trials.

Faced with the villagers' attack, Xiao Ran had no choice but to stab himself in order to gain a temporary boost in strength.

But I remember that the maximum strength at that time was only ten points.

Clearly, it was because the pain he had contributed was not enough; ten points of power was already a sign that this evil god thought highly of him.

Compared to the methods used by the Changchun Association, my own methods back then were really petty.

In order to create suffering and obtain blessings from evil gods, these people have moved beyond simply increasing pain through flesh and blood; they have begun to exploit people's minds.

The more you value something, the more likely it is to try to destroy it in front of you.

For example, family members, lovers, and even children can be targets of the Changchun Society. After all, there will be a furnace to rebuild them after death. Through repeated torment, the blessing of the evil will cause the black tumors planted in their bodies to develop rapidly.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

Thinking of all this, Xiao Ran initially wanted to take up his knife and chop the shrine in half, but after much deliberation, he ultimately decided against it. He had limited time and there was no need to bother with these broken stones.

After arriving at the fourth floor, I found that the temperature there was significantly higher than in other areas, because the regeneration furnace was located on the fourth floor.

Xiao Ran possessed the memories of the Beast Master and clearly knew the location of the Reconstruction Furnace. After wandering around for a while, he found the room at the end of the corridor.

"Destroy this thing first!"

After much deliberation, Xiao Ran decided to destroy the Regeneration Furnace. Only by destroying the Regeneration Furnace could those tormented patients be freed.

Then we won't have to worry about the Ghost Doctor and his group bringing in negative stars. Without so many negative stars, even if we encounter trouble, a chosen one won't suddenly appear for us.

He walked to the door, which was sealed with a thick alloy door.

Even if Xiao Ran were to use a knife to cut it open, it probably wouldn't be able to do so in a short time, and only the Ghost Doctor would have the key.

Although Xiao Ran didn't have the key, he had the memories of the Beast Master. He knew what was behind the door. The door was very sturdy, but it was useless for the door inside to be sturdy, because he had no intention of going through the front door at all.

Xiao Ran patted the Yin Soldier Gourd at his waist.

He released the butcher, then pointed to the wall next to him: "Smash it open..."
