After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

"Mr. Chen, what should we do next—"

Ruan Ning's words were cut short as she spoke.

Just a moment ago, she suddenly felt a tightness in her throat, as if something had suddenly grabbed her neck.

Could it be that……

When?

Why didn't I notice anything?

The moment the feeling of suffocation appeared, Ruan Ning was startled and kept recalling everything that had just happened, trying to figure out when she had been hit.

No matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't find anything wrong with her actions.

After much thought, she could only come up with one possibility.

"The hanged man's abilities have improved! He can put a rope around his target without anyone noticing!"

Thinking of this, she quickly raised her hand to her neck, preparing to use the magical artifact to cut the rope before she was hung up.

However, when she touched her neck, she was surprised to find that her neck was completely empty!

"Where's the rope? Without the rope, where does the feeling of suffocation come from!?"

After his abilities were enhanced, the person hanging himself could suffocate others without even needing a rope?!

Ruan Ning panicked and quickly looked at Chen Zhuo, telling him in detail about the strange changes that had occurred to her.

Chen Zhuo touched his neck, appearing remarkably calm.

"I also feel suffocated, and it's getting stronger and stronger. I reckon it won't be long before we suffocate to death!"

"Damn! That means we have to take care of the hanged man within these few minutes!"

Ruan Ning's voice was a little hoarse, and a faint red mark appeared on her neck. The feeling of suffocation was even stronger than before, and her face turned red as a result.

"I'll cover you while you get close to the hanged man!"

"good!"

Seeing this, Chen Zhuo did not refuse; he was not a lone hero.

Now that he has an extra person to help him, he can save some effort.

Besides, those people's money was split equally between the two of them, so why should he go to such lengths?

Chen Zhuo immediately calmed down and began to search for the original body, which had changed its location.

"Found it!"

Chen Zhuo suddenly looked up, facing the ceiling.

The moment he opened his mouth, Ruan Ning sprang forward, rushing to the front to clear a path for Chen Zhuo.

The moment she made her move, countless ropes shot out from the ceiling, coiling towards the two of them like venomous snakes.

Seeing this, Ruan Ning swung his knife, and the strange weapon collided with the hemp rope, producing the sound of weapons clashing!

The overwhelming hemp ropes became as hard as steel wire after the person who hanged himself gained power.

The mere collision was enough to make Ruan Ning's hand go numb.

"Since the trickery won't work, let's use this!"

Ruan Ning hardened her heart, disregarding the risk of losing control of her mind, and once again unleashed her strange ability.

If she uses the power of the Ghostly Strike, she may not necessarily die from losing control of her mind.

But if she doesn't use the power of the mysterious spell, she will definitely be strangled to death by the person hanging her!

Ruan Ning's body erupted with strange energy, which instantly gathered on the top of her head. Her jet-black hair grew rapidly, reaching four or five meters in the blink of an eye!

Ruan Ning flicked her hair forcefully, and the strange hair flew towards the hemp rope.

The moment the treacherous hair touched the hemp rope, it coiled around it like a venomous snake.

The two intertwine, forming a giant net on the ceiling.

Taking advantage of Ruan Ning holding onto the rope of the hanged man, Chen Zhuo immediately made his move.

The person who hanged himself is now at a danger level comparable to a B-level bizarre.

Ruan Ning alone simply couldn't stop them completely.

So when Chen Zhuo made his move, several ropes broke through the encirclement and rushed towards Chen Zhuo.

The people in the ward who witnessed this scene immediately closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

Only Dr. Xiao knew that these things were nothing but child's play in front of Chen Zhuo.

The moment the rope hurtled towards Chen Zhuo, the glass shards on the ground lit up simultaneously, and ropes identical to those of the hanged man shot out from the glass shards.

Just like Ruan Ning's method, they became entangled with the hemp ropes that were attacking Chen Zhuo.

"Chen Zhuo, hurry up! The mirror-replica rope isn't as strong as the original. I can't hold out for long!"

The Mirror Ghost gritted its teeth, seemingly straining its entire body.

Chen Zhuo kept the Mirror Ghost by his side not only to use it as his eyes, but also because of its mirroring ability.

The Mirror Ghost can reflect anything.

However, the power of the mirrored object will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the stronger the original body, the shorter the duration of the mirrored object.

But that's enough!

Chen Zhuo slipped through the ropes and arrived beneath the hanged man in the blink of an eye.

The person who hanged himself was actually a corpse that had been hanged with a hemp rope.

Sensing Chen Zhuo's arrival, its body surged with strange energy.

It vaguely sensed Chen Zhuo's strength, so it didn't intend to confront him head-on and immediately tried to move to a different location.

"Trying to run? No way!"

Chen Zhuo scoffed and with a flick of his wrist, he tore off half of the bandage from the first section of the white bone cane.

The person who hanged himself was ultimately a pseudo-B-level, so there was no need to remove the first layer of restriction from the Bone Cane.

The bandages on the white bone cane act as a kind of seal, suppressing its true power to prevent its evil energy from leaking out and causing unnecessary trouble.

Normally, when dealing with monsters below level C, there's no need to remove the bandages.

Chen Zhuo leaped forward, and just before the hanged man could escape, the white bone cane, imbued with immense and eerie energy, stabbed fiercely into his body, at the point where the rope touched his throat.

"ah--"

The moment the white bone cane pierced the corpse, the body's eyes widened and it screamed in agony.

However, he was stopped abruptly as the white bone cane pierced his throat just as he began to speak!

The eerie energy within the white bone cane spread along the corpse's throat, enveloping the hanged man's entire body in an instant.

As the cane pierced through, Chen Zhuo felt his neck loosen, and the suffocating sensation vanished.

As the body of the hanged man gradually disintegrated, the rope on the ceiling began to disappear.

The hanging corpses fell like raindrops, eventually lying haphazardly on the ground.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the ward breathed a sigh of relief, and some of the more timid ones even wept with joy.

Their gazes toward Chen Zhuo and the other man were filled with gratitude without exception.

Ruan Ning let out a long sigh of relief, and her eyes lit up the moment she looked at the ceiling.

Where the person who hanged himself was, now a blood-stained rope remains.

That's a trick weapon!

A mysterious artifact created after a person dies by hanging!

No wonder Ruan Ning was excited. She was not one of the organization's key figures, so the chances of her obtaining a mysterious artifact were extremely slim. To encounter one now was incredibly lucky.

However, she did not reach for it, but instead looked at Chen Zhuo, who had also noticed the rope.

"Mr. Chen, we owe you a great debt this time. Otherwise, I and the others would probably have really been doomed here. This strange artifact should rightfully belong to you."

Ruan Ning came to the hospital in order to obtain a mysterious artifact.

However, the danger in the hospital far exceeded her expectations.

We don't know how to get out of here yet, so building a good relationship with Chen Zhuo is more important than a strange artifact.

However, Chen Zhuo's words surprised Ruan Ning.

"This strange artifact isn't very useful to me, so you can keep it. But..."

Chen Zhuo pondered for a moment, then turned to face Ruan Ning.

"I just want to know, Miss Ruan, what exactly is your purpose in coming here on your own initiative?"

As the person who pushes open the door, one can sense the eerie atmosphere.

Therefore, Chen Zhuo did not believe that Ruan Ning had stumbled into the situation by mistake.
