This actor is full of tricks.

Nothing strange happened after that. After finishing his rounds, Zhao Yin stayed in his office, but compared to his last shift, he seemed a little absent-minded, clearly still thinking about what Lin Jue had told him.

Lin Jue wandered around aimlessly. Fortunately, the timeline didn't switch during his shift tonight, so he didn't have to face that giant monster again.

After having breakfast, Lin Jue said goodbye to Zhao Yin. When they parted, Zhao Yin specifically reminded him to urge his cousin to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

Back in his dorm room, Lin Jue stared at the door, lost in thought. In this desolate timeline, the main door had been destroyed, leaving only the small wooden door to the room. This meant that if he slept in his room now, he might face the possibility of a ghost suddenly barging in.
Although the floor had been cleared, a powerful figure came up from downstairs, and Lin Jue didn't know whether the other party had left or not.

For safety, Lin Jue locked his door from the inside and set a timer to wake him up every hour to prevent any unexpected incidents.

My body needs to get enough sleep right now. If I don't sleep, my brain is like a lump of mush, and I can't think straight at all.

When the alarm clock rang for the third time, Lin Jue was fully awake, because this time he found that it was dark all around him and the smell of decay filled his nostrils.

The timeline has changed.

Lin Jue didn't get up immediately, but listened quietly to the sounds outside. The soundproofing of the dormitory building wasn't particularly good, otherwise he wouldn't have heard Xiao Qiu picking at the closet in his room earlier.

It was very quiet outside; there was no unusual noise.

It sounds safe enough, but this silence may only be superficial; no one can guarantee that the guy who came up from downstairs hasn't left.

"I wonder how Xiao Qiu is doing now. I hope that kid is alright."

Lin Jue carefully got out of bed without making a sound. He stepped barefoot onto the floor and pressed his ear against the door, listening to what was happening outside.

After confirming once again that there was no unusual activity outside, he put on his shoes and socks and gently opened the door a crack.

The outside of the room remained exactly as it had been yesterday, with the black blood on the ground congealed into a paste, and broken pieces of furniture scattered everywhere.

"It doesn't look like anything has entered this dormitory room."

Seeing that nothing had changed outside, Lin Jue tiptoed out of the room. The bloody smell of yesterday's fierce battle had not completely dissipated. The dormitory door was ajar, but it was mostly broken and completely useless.

He picked up the dull kitchen knife that Xiao Qiu had thrown away yesterday from the ground, moved step by step to the door, hid his body under the broken door, and cautiously looked out through the hole.

The corridor was pitch black. His gaze fell on the room where he and Xiao Qiu had planned to hide. The corpse outside the door was still there, but it had become fragmented, with most of it eaten up by something.

"It must be the guy who came up. It's impossible for Xiao Qiu to still be standing outside eating peacefully under those circumstances."

"There were no signs of fighting there, and we didn't see Xiao Qiu's body. Judging from this guy's eating habits, he was selective about which parts of the body he ate. If he had killed Xiao Qiu, he would have left half a body behind. It seems that Xiao Qiu must have hidden in that room."

"Is that guy still around?"

Lin Jue's gaze searched the corridor, but he didn't see any trace of the guy. However, he didn't let his guard down. Instead, he retreated back into the room, picked up a piece of table shard from the floor, and threw it to the other side of the corridor. The sound of the shard hitting the ground wouldn't normally be loud, but in the quiet environment, it sounded particularly jarring.

There was no response. Lin Jue threw another piece to the other side, but still there was no response.

"It seems that the guy was just attracted by the fighting upstairs yesterday, and after getting the food, he went back downstairs."

Lin Jue waited a few more minutes, and seeing that there was really nothing unusual, he gently opened the door and went out.

He went to the outside of the room, gently pushed the door, and it did close. He leaned over the door and softly called out, "Xiao Qiu."

There was no response from inside the room, but very light footsteps could be heard. Lin Jue called out softly again, "Xiao Qiu, it's me."

The door opened, and what came into view was Xiao Qiu's pale, bloodless face. When she saw Lin Jue, Xiao Qiu's eyes were filled with confusion, shock, fear, and a hint of grievance.

The force coming from his arm was much stronger than before. Lin Jue glanced at the room and saw that the two corpses he had rushed in earlier had disappeared, obviously having been digested by Xiao Qiu.

He squeezed into the room, locked the door, and patted Xiao Qiu on the shoulder: "I'm sorry to have to put you through this ordeal, facing this terrifying hospital all by yourself."

"Where did you go before? How did you suddenly disappear?" Xiao Qiu looked at Lin Jue with eyes that seemed to want to devour him.

It was clear that he was very unhappy. They had agreed to fight side by side, but Lin Jue suddenly disappeared, especially in such an emergency.

If it weren't for his quick reaction and swift escape into the room, and the fact that the guy who came up wasn't very bright and didn't even bother to check the corpse outside the door, he would have survived.

As a result, the crisis was resolved, and hey, these humans suddenly reappeared.

"Actually, I am a superhuman who has illuminated the Spirit Realm and awakened an ability similar to teleportation. However, because my strength is too weak, this ability is beyond my control. It always teleports me to unknown locations within a radius of 500 meters at unknown times. Before, I was inexplicably teleported to the clinic, where there was a huge monster that was many times stronger than the one downstairs."

"I went through a lot of trouble to escape because I knew you were still in a dangerous situation. I haven't forgotten our promise to fight side by side."

As expected of an actor from the entertainment industry, Lin Jue is adept at spouting nonsense, vividly and movingly depicting a vague and unreal event.

Xiao Qiu was stunned. Such bizarre abilities? And there were even more terrifying monsters in the clinic?

He was somewhat skeptical: "Are you telling the truth?"

He no longer has even the most basic trust in Lin Jue, and it will take some time to rebuild that trust.

"Of course," Lin Jue said decisively. "How about I take you to see it?"

"Forget it then." Xiao Qiu shook his head vigorously, as if to say, "Are you kidding me? You don't want to live long enough?" (End of Chapter)
