This actor is full of tricks.

Are spiders on this floor too?

Lin Jue was naturally happy to encounter a familiar ghost, but the spider in this script world didn't know him yet and was just a patient.

However, the spider later came into contact with Number 1, meaning that if you pay close attention to the spider, you might encounter Number 1.

"You're quite serious." Chang Mingzhi walked over with a smile and put his hand on Lin Jue's shoulder: "It's good that young people are eager to learn, but there's not much to see in this hospital. You just need to follow one rule and do things the right way."

"Come on, I'll take you two to the wards for a tour, so you can get a basic understanding of the patients on this floor."

"Okay." Lin Jue put the documents in the drawer and walked out of the office with Chang Mingzhi.

“We have a total of 10 wards on this floor, but there are only 8 patients. Two patients have been transferred upstairs because their conditions are serious.” Chang Mingzhi explained as he walked: “Let’s start with ward number 1. There is a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder in this ward, and his condition has developed to a very serious stage. He always feels that everything in the world should be symmetrical, even the human body.”

"But anyone who has studied medicine knows that the human body is asymmetrical. Leaving aside internal organs, just looking at the external appearance, there are many people with uneven shoulders, different sized eyes, and different sized faces. But this guy doesn't think so. He believes that humans were created by a creator, so humans should be a perfectly symmetrical form, and those asymmetrical people should be modified and adjusted."

"This guy's so-called adjustment was quite bloody and violent. Before he was even admitted to the hospital, he chopped his wife into precisely sized pieces, and then pieced her back together like a jigsaw puzzle, making it very symmetrical."

"After being admitted to the hospital, his condition worsened, and he went on a rampage against the doctors and nurses. We had no choice but to move him to the intensive care unit. Now he is much more well-behaved."

Upon hearing Chang Mingzhi's introduction, Lin Jue realized who the patient in ward number 1 was—the symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder patient from the Black Street.

Upon reaching ward number 1, the three stood by the small window and peered inside. The ward was bright and square, containing only a bed. Even the toilet consisted of two bedpans placed symmetrically and neatly. Despite this, the patient in the room seemed unsatisfied, slowly moving the bedpans as if determined to achieve the perfect balance.

Seemingly sensing Lin Jue and the others' presence, the patient suddenly turned his head, then threw himself against the window, his entire face pressed against it, his features contorted as he screamed, "The ninth floor! Do you know what the ninth floor is?!"

"The adults on the ninth floor told me that if I just hold on for a few more days, I can be discharged safely."

"I want to work for him, so you doctors better let me go right now!!!"

Even through the thick glass, one could hear the guy's frantic roar. This was the second time Lin Jue had heard the words "ninth floor." If it weren't for Ding Zhiwei from Changmingzhi being there, he would have rushed into the ward long ago to ask the guy about the ninth floor.

Although this patient is temporarily his subordinate in the desolate timeline, he has already said that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the new world. As the boss, he must know about the existence of the ninth floor. If he were to ask him rashly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and his identity might be exposed.

Even if he could use Wupi and the others to force him to confess, Hong Shuai's group was still useful to him, so Lin Jue didn't want to break ties with them for the time being. He could only choose to start from the normal timeline and ask where the ninth floor was.

He turned to look at Chang Zhimin, his face full of confusion: "What do you mean by the ninth floor? I heard Director Dong say that the main building only has eight floors, so where did this ninth floor come from?"

"You believe what a madman says?" Changmingzhi's expression clearly showed that he really didn't know about the ninth level. He shrugged: "This guy has been talking about the ninth level for the past few days. I think we can give him an injection later and reassess his condition."

However, Ding Zhiwei's expression was somewhat incomprehensible; it seemed that this guy knew where the ninth floor was.

Lin Jue gave Ding Zhiwei a deep look, secretly plotting to find an opportunity to break ties with him and force him to reveal the information about the ninth floor. "Let's go." Chang Mingzhi led the two away, introducing each ward one by one. When they reached the fifth ward, Lin Jue saw Spider.

At this moment, the spider, having lost its legs, was lying quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"This patient is the most well-behaved on this floor. He cooperates actively with the treatment and takes the special medication obediently. He will be able to be transferred to a regular ward soon."

Knowing the spider's fate, Lin Jue didn't speak. Instead, he stood silently by the window. The spider in the ward seemed to sense his presence and turned its head to look at him.

Upon seeing Lin Jue, Spider's blank gaze faltered slightly, revealing a hint of confusion and struggle.

What kind of look is that?

"Could it be that the spider, like the 'Disaster,' won't be completely reflected in this script? Is there some connection between the spider in the script and reality?"

"But that doesn't make sense... I'm in the form of Xiangyang right now. Even if this spider has some connection to reality, it shouldn't recognize me."

Lin Jue frowned, then grinned at the spider inside. The latter's confusion deepened, as if it had truly experienced a "spiritual connection" with the real spider and remembered something.

"Could they really have recognized him?"

"This script world is so strange. It looks no different from reality, but it's full of bugs. It's like a running program that's been hacked. Wangzai is the hacker, He Wen who appears occasionally is also the hacker, and now is Spider the hacker too?"

"If spiders can infiltrate this script like the 'Disaster,' then can other supernatural entities do the same? Perhaps I should go find Ah Jin; that guy is extremely vicious, so the probability of us making a connection is higher."

Lin Jue pondered to himself. He wanted to make eye contact with Spider a little longer to see if he could help Spider fully connect with reality, but Chang Mingzhi had already finished his introduction and urged him to go to the next ward.

Having no other choice, Lin Jue followed. After visiting all the wards, Lin Jue realized something was wrong because he didn't see He Ping.

According to the previous doctor's record, He Ping was here just two days ago. Why is he gone now?

"Director Chang, I just looked at the list. There was a patient named He Ping who was here a couple of days ago. Where is that patient now?"

Upon hearing Lin Jue's question, Chang Mingzhi smiled and said, "You've observed quite carefully. That patient was transferred to a regular ward last night, with Director Dong's personal approval."

Has He Ping been moved to a regular ward?
After He Ping enters a regular ward, he will encounter a series of strange events and become the first person the hospital director successfully experiments on.

This means the patients' riot is about to begin, and Qin Lang will be back soon. (End of Chapter)
