Chapter 28 Bloodstained Hospital (7)

Two more are needed for a ten-pull.

...She couldn't let this precious opportunity slip away.

Only two!
Please give me a five-star rating this time.

An Jing really wanted to test the power of the five-star card; having a five-star card was practically a life-saving artifact.

Standing in the middle of the corridor, the hem of her nurse's uniform fluttered slightly, and scalpels and forceps were neatly arranged on a tray, making her look like a real medical worker. However, her eyes reflected the disappointment and wariness of a fisherman whose fish had all fled.

How come I got skunked even with this fishing game?!
[Your move just now was incredibly smooth and stealthy; you didn't even let out a scream.]

The system unusually praised her.

After all, since she's putting in so much effort to draw cards, it needs to give her some positive feedback to motivate her even more.

“You do praise me sometimes,” An Jing said through gritted teeth.

You have to feed a horse if you want it to run.

"Stop talking nonsense and making empty promises. Hurry up and check again to see if there are any more D-level mysteries."

How would I know? There aren't any nearby anyway.

An Jing clicked his tongue lightly and continued walking towards the next observation room.

Every time she opened a door, she would pause for three seconds, listening carefully for any crawling or groaning sounds inside, before cautiously peeking in to check... but without exception.

Corpses, corpses, and more corpses.

Moreover, most of these corpses died in extremely gruesome ways; some had their heads blown off, others had severed limbs and shattered bones, none of which resembled the marks left by a fight between D-level supernatural beings.

It was as if it had been ended on the spot by an extremely precise and swift force.

"Tsk." She frowned more and more as she looked. "That lamplighter? What's going on? They killed everyone, leaving no one alive. Did they leave absolutely no one alive?"

System: [That's actually quite possible!]

"What do you mean 'it's really possible'? Stop being sarcastic!"

[Didn't I just say there weren't any nearby? I analyzed the characteristics of these corpses and found that their manner of death is very consistent—] The system paused, [It's likely the same person who did it.]

“I see.” An Jing said calmly as he rummaged through the remains of the body. “And the method was much more ruthless than mine. There are almost no signs of struggle, which means…”

She narrowed her eyes. "They are the kind of lamplighters who are very skilled."

【Probably. 】

An Jing crouched down and saw half-dried footprints next to a mysterious corpse with its head pierced. The mud spots were clear, and it looked like a pair of thick-soled combat boots.

"It's definitely the Lamplighter; the shoe shape is the same as 002's."

System: [I didn't realize you had detective potential.]

"Stop talking nonsense." An Jing shook his hand and stood up. "What are we going to do now?"

[Yeah, even if you kill them all, you won't be able to get a ten-pull. And the stronger ones are impossible for you to kill, you can only run away.]

"...If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

An Jing had nothing to say, so she could only continue to feel her way deeper into the corridor.

Her goal is now very clear:

Find this big shot.

Ask him (or her) to share some of the people.

There are only two.

She really is only two short!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hospital.

"How can there be so many mysteries?"

A deep, steady voice echoed in the empty corridor. The man sheathed the blood-stained dagger in his hand and stood expressionless before a mysterious corpse.

He was wearing a specially made lamplighter's coat, over which was... a hospital gown. The brim of his hat was pulled low, revealing only his sharply defined jawline and thin lips.

The man silently glanced around, made no unnecessary movements, and continued to move forward.

Just as he turned into another passage, he heard light footsteps not far away.

He instantly became alert and took out the dagger again.

An Jing climbed the stairs, panting, and saw a figure.

The dark stairwell made it difficult for her to see clearly.

"System, are you a human or a ghost?"

[This seems to be the big shot you've been longing for.]

!

She finally made it.

Stop killing them, or there won't be any fish left in this area.

“Hey you up ahead,” she called out from the stairwell, not rushing after him, “Boss, don’t kill them all, leave me two, okay?” The man paused, turned around, and gave her a cold look.

His eyes were devoid of any emotion, as indifferent as when he looked at a corpse. He simply said, "Human?"

An Jing: "...Otherwise what?"

"What are you wearing?" he asked in a low voice.

An Jing looked at her OOTD (Outfit of the Day).

Patient gowns paired with nurse coats.

Any questions?

Besides, are you dressed in a very trendy way?
"What's wrong?" An Jing scratched his head.

The man looked at her for a few seconds, then took two steps closer.

"There is a mysterious aura about you."

An Jing shrugged: "I just killed one, so it's inevitable that I got a little bit of it."

"Killed him?" The man stopped. "You?"

"What, you don't believe a woman can kill a mysterious person?"

The man looked her over again.

"I don't believe it," he said honestly.

"Are you crazy?" An Jing was annoyed.

Gender discrimination?

System: [No, no, no, this is a big shot, take it easy.]

An Jing: "Shut up."

The man seemed too lazy to argue, and continued walking, saying, "Don't follow me."

“Fine, I won’t follow you then, but can you leave two D-level Mysterious Creatures behind?” An Jing gestured with his chin at him.

The man stopped in his tracks.

Look back at her.

"Why would you need two more Mysterious Creatures?"

An Jing didn't hide anything, "Change things."

The man seemed to find it absurd, giving him a bewildered look: "Whatever."

“There are two in the corridor on the left,” he said, pointing. “You can go by yourself; I have something to do.”

The meaning is obvious: don't bother him.

The lamplighter was utterly indifferent to the survivors.

But An Jing didn't care.

An Jing's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Hmm." He paused, as if suddenly remembering something, "But they may have already sensed me and are retreating. You need to hurry."

"I'll go, I'll go right now!" An Jing shouted, "Don't come!"

The man walked away without looking back.

Without saying a word, An Jing immediately sprinted towards the left corridor, shouting to the system as he ran, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! If I can't kill those two D-ranks, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

System: [I don't believe it]

"Then I won't be able to sleep tomorrow night!"

……

As she rushed into the left corridor, two D-class mysteries, still covered in blood and half-hidden in the cracks of the ceiling pipes, were trying to "drift away" silently.

"Hehe." An Jing laughed, "Don't run away!"

She immediately threw out two cards, one for the paper umbrella woman and the other for the soul controller. The two mysterious figures split up and worked together to trap the two D-level mysterious figures.

An Jing has always adhered to the principle of using as little as possible, but now it's too late.

After controlling the mysterious creature, she rushed forward and performed a series of healing actions: severing tendons, sealing the throat, breaking bones, and collecting the corpse.

[Number of attempts +1]

[Number of attempts +1]

[Achieved! Current number of Mysteries cleared: 10. Perform a 10-pull?]

"Come on!" An Jing said breathlessly, "Right now!"

She stood in the center of the corpse, blood pooling in a shallow arc at her feet, yet her face remained clear and refreshed.
