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

"One more thing, watch out for that guy! He just lied!"

The woman with the umbrella glanced at Luo Nan, who was chatting enthusiastically with Dr. Xiao and others to the side.

"I don't know if what he said earlier was true or false, but he definitely lied about what happened after we got to the third floor!"

He wasn't actually heading to the fourth floor; he'd been on the fourth floor for a long time, and when he heard some noise downstairs, he decided to come down from there on his own!

After I became the guard of this floor, the building granted me the ability to sense things, allowing me to perceive everything that happens in the corridor.

Shortly after arriving on this floor, this person seemed to have formed a partnership with a group of people and somehow managed to incite a riot among the patients on the entire floor while I was making my rounds.

As the guard of this floor, I have to deal with this matter, and they have already left the fourth floor while I was at it!

He's now disguising himself as an ordinary person to gain your trust; he definitely has ulterior motives. You must be wary of him!

"Understood." Chen Zhuo nodded in agreement.

In fact, even without the umbrella-wielding woman's reminder, he knew that Luo Nan was no ordinary person.

His performance was very emotionally engaging, but even the best-laid plans can go awry.

He said he used chopsticks to poke his throat to make himself vomit up the medicine he had swallowed, and then disguised himself to go up to the second floor.

This number must have been quite high, otherwise the nurses would have easily noticed that he lost his temper for a much shorter period of time than others.

But when he spoke just now, his throat was perfectly fine; he didn't even cough once.

The reason Chen Zhuo didn't expose him directly and allowed him to join his team was because he wanted to see what this person was up to.

Upon hearing the umbrella-wielding woman's last words, Chen Zhuo gained another reason to keep her in the group.

The group that previously cooperated with Luo Nan was very likely the long-lost Captain Liao and his team.

The fact that Liao and his team have gone missing is very likely related to Luo Nan.

Putting him in the team might allow us to follow the clues and find out where Captain Liao and his group are.

This can be considered Chen Zhuo's way of repaying the branch for taking care of Bai Yiyi's family these past few days.

"Including Captain Liao, whose whereabouts are still unknown, three different factions have emerged in this small hospital. It's quite lively!"

Chen Zhuo's lips curled up, feeling that things were getting interesting.

Seeing that Chen Zhuo understood, the woman with the umbrella said no more and stood up to give up her seat.

"Sister Mengzhi, please give my regards to Brother Jiang!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhuo suddenly raised his hand, and the white bone cane fell down, slamming hard onto the ghost gate.

As the sound of the strange gate shattering rang out, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Zhuo.

"Even though I've seen it once before, seeing this scene again still feels quite shocking."

Ruan Ning was filled with mixed emotions. If this matter were made public, Chen Zhuo's net worth would definitely skyrocket!

Behind her, Luo Nan's eyes first flashed with surprise, then turned into a smile and appreciation, and even a hint of aggression.

However, when others looked at him, his expression had returned to normal.

As the mysterious gate shattered, the umbrella-wielding woman's body became illusory and eventually disappeared completely from the ward.

After doing all this, Chen Zhuo left the ward and joined the others in the corridor.

"This floor is no longer dangerous." Chen Zhuo's words were brief, but everyone understood what he meant.

This floor is now clear, and they can easily go up to the fourth floor.

Before that, they could choose to stay or continue following them upstairs.

Before everyone made their choice, Ruan Ning emphasized it again.

"Two floors are already safe, and they are adjacent floors. If danger does occur, it will be easy to take shelter there. The safety factor is much stronger than before, so there is no need to continue to take risks with us."

Ruan Ning's words convinced some of the hesitant people to decide to stay.

A moment later, everyone made a decision.

Apart from Dr. Xiao and Luo Nan, 90% of the survivors in front of them decided to stay.

As for the remaining 10%, the reason they chose to continue taking the risk was because they believed that following Chen Zhuo and the other person would be absolutely safe.

As their fear subsided, they became curious about the eerie sights and wanted to see what kind of strange things might happen on the other floors.

After he left, he even bragged about it to his friends.

Chen Zhuo did not comment on their suicidal mentality.

He has already given them a choice, but they didn't know how to seize it. If something unexpected happens, it has nothing to do with him.

Ruan Ning was speechless at his reasons and decided to try to dissuade him again.

"Do you think this is an amusement park? There are all sorts of bizarre and strange abilities here; Mr. Chen and I can't possibly handle them all!"

However, they were blinded by appearances and developed a feeling that the strangeness was nothing special, completely forgetting their predicament of being trapped in the ward before Chen Zhuo and Ruan Ning appeared.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the group, Ruan Ning stopped talking. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.

Moreover, she allowed these people to stay partly out of her own kindness, but mostly because their life-saving money had not yet been settled.

However, she thought again that the money these people were offering wasn't much. If she went up with them, she wouldn't feel sorry for dying. She could even learn about their strange killing abilities and patterns through their deaths.

"Enough talk, let's go upstairs!"

Chen Zhuo's words brought everyone back to their senses.

She had already reached the stairwell and was climbing the stairs to the fourth floor.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed and soon arrived at the fourth-floor stairwell.

"Why is this floor so dark? At least the other floors have emergency lights, but this floor has nothing!"

Looking at the pitch-black corridor before him, Dr. Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

The man beside him couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Look at you, such a coward! It's just a little dark, wait, I'll light it up for you!"

chap!

The sound of a lighter being turned on was heard, followed by a warm flame.

The moment the fire appeared, Chen Zhuo immediately sensed two strange and eerie emanating from the center of the corridor.

Originally, both were relatively stable, and the eerie atmosphere emanating from the patients in the wards on both sides of the corridor was almost identical.

But just a moment ago, one of the strange energies suddenly intensified, while the other almost completely dissipated!

The former had just strengthened, but for some reason it weakened again.

As for the latter, it was never able to recover and eventually disappeared completely!

As Chen Zhuo noticed the anomaly, the others, illuminated by the dim firelight, could barely make out the surrounding environment within two or three meters.

Everyone looked around, their pupils suddenly contracting.

The number of corpses piled up in the corridor was no less than that downstairs!

Ruan Ning walked up to a corpse, hoping to find clues about this layer of guarding ability on it.

Before she could even see the body clearly, she heard a curse coming from behind her.

"Damn it! Who was so mean as to break the emergency light!"

One of them squatted down, picked up the pieces of the emergency light from the ground, and couldn't help but complain.

"Broken?"

With the mindset honed through years of playing bizarre games, Chen Zhuo keenly grasped the key information and had a vague guess in his mind.

Just as he was about to speak, a noise suddenly came from the nearest few wards.

The next instant, all the ward doors burst open, and several mental patients lunged at the group!
