Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

[Congratulations to Lin Sui'an, a player from the Dragon Kingdom, for winning an S-rank reward: Randomly eliminate the anomalies in one area!]

At the entrance to the instance, the eleven people fell silent for a moment.

All eyes were on the barefoot girl, whose clothes were tattered and whose body was covered in blood.

Sergei opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

Lina's tears, which she had just wiped away, welled up again. She covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Lydia gave Lin Sui'an two thumbs up.

Everyone present was filled with envy.

------

The Dragon Kingdom's live stream room exploded again!

An Shen, my idol: S-rank! S-rank! Another S-rank!

Never eaten vegetables: Clearing out the weirdness from an entire district! An entire district! Am I seeing things?

A descendant of the Zuan people: Did An Shen save the galaxy in his past life? Two rounds of games, two S's?

Koi: Probability is dead, statistics is dead, tranquility is the essence of metaphysics.

An Shen's first fan: What kind of mysticism is this! That's clearly An Shen's skill!

Another day alive: Waaaaaah, we got one district back! We got one district back!

Go China! Stay calm! Stay calm! Stay calm!

An Shen, the eternal God: I cried, I really cried, I don't care anymore, An Shen is my faith!

------

Lin Sui'an walked over to Lina and asked, "Crying again?"

"I didn't cry!" Lina wiped her face, her voice trembling. "I'm happy for you!"

"Okay, okay, let's have some fun."

The remaining surviving players completed their draws one after another, with some receiving weapons, some receiving food, and some receiving medicine.

Their expressions varied, but their gazes toward Lin Sui'an were all the same.

The system announcement sounded again.

[The countries of the captured players have been randomly selected from a region that has been invaded by a mysterious force. The list is as follows:]

[USA, Dex area. 】

[Japan, Kansai region.]

[Mumbai region, India]

[Gallic Kingdom, Vanse region.]

【…】

[A strange invasion occurs 15 minutes later.]

The winning player's reward has been delivered to their respective country.

[Game exit countdown: 10 seconds.]

[The next round of the game will begin in three days.]

"Three days?" she muttered. "Isn't it supposed to be one show a day?"

A white light flashed, blurring my vision for a moment.

------

The lights in the monitoring room shone on his face, and Lin Sui'an steadied himself, shaking his head slightly.

Behind the glass wall in front of me stood a row of people.

Jiang Lai was at the front, followed by Jiang Zhi, Chen Zheng, Old Zhao, and a group of people.

Jiang Lai raised her hand and clapped it.

"Smack."

The second one caught up.

Then came Jiang Zhi, Chen Zheng, and Old Zhao.

Outside the monitoring room, applause filled the air, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

Lin Sui'an stood still and tilted his head.

Something surged up from my chest, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, it was itchy and dull.

She scratched the back of her head.

Previously in the mental hospital, whatever she did resulted in increased medication, being strapped in, and being confined.

No one applauded.

This is the first time I've ever heard this kind of voice.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai walked in and saw her standing still.

"Nothing much." Lin Sui'an lowered his hand, grinned, "I just think you guys are acting weird."

Jiang Lai didn't reply, her gaze shifting from her face to her clothes, and then to her bare feet.

"Let's go to the infirmary first."

"Let's eat first."

"The examination will be quick; we'll just clean the wound."

"Let's eat first."

Jiang Lai stared at her, and Lin Sui'an also stared at Jiang Lai; neither of them would give way.

"Clean the wound first. While you're being examined, tell us if there's anything you'd like to eat, and have the kitchen staff prepare some dishes so you can eat as soon as you come out."

Lin Sui'an's eyes darted around; this condition was negotiable.

Braised pork belly.

"OK."

"And sweet and sour pork ribs."

"OK."

Lin Sui'an was happy and satisfied.

Jiang Zhi reached out from the side, her palm holding a small jar of lollipops.

Lin Sui'an's eyes lit up. He reached out, grabbed one, tore it open, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Grape flavor.

"Okay," she mumbled, her mouth full of a lollipop, "Hurry up, check it quickly."

Jiang Lai turned her head and glanced at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhili stood at attention: "I'll go and inform the logistics department right away."

------

As the door to the infirmary opened, the smell of disinfectant wafted out.

Dr. Zhou was already inside. The sterile pack had been unpacked, and the cotton swabs, iodine, and gauze were neatly arranged.

Lin Sui'an walked in, saw Doctor Zhou, and twirled a lollipop in his mouth.

"Dr. Zhou, it's nice to see you again."

When Dr. Zhou looked up and saw Lin Sui'an's condition, the tweezers in his hand paused for a moment.

Last time it was a wound.

This time, there were two spots on his back and one on his side; the bloodstains on his clothes had dried and were stuck to his skin.

Red marks were rubbed off the soles of my feet, there were abrasions on my arms, and there was powder from pebbles embedded in my fingernails.

"Lie down."

Lin Sui'an obediently lay down on the treatment bed, resting her chin on the pillow, with the stick of a lollipop sticking out from the corner of her mouth.

When Dr. Zhou cut open the clothes on her back and saw the two fresh wounds, he stopped scissors.

The old wound from my right shoulder to my waist is still there; the gauze is soaked with blood at the edges, and there's a newly formed scab.

Beside the old wound, there were two new cuts, one running horizontally across the back and the other diagonally downwards, with the edges of the skin turned upside down.

Dr. Zhou took a deep breath, picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in iodine, and wiped the area little by little.

"You fought with the monster?"

"I didn't hit him, I just brushed against him a couple of times."

"Just a couple of rubs?" Dr. Zhou's voice rose a notch. "You call that just a couple of rubs? Last time it was one rub, this time it's three. Are you planning to replace all the skin on your back next time?"

"No, no," Lin Sui'an said, chewing on a lollipop, her voice muffled by the pillow. "Next time I'll dodge faster."

Doctor Zhou paused for a moment, then continued wiping: "Don't confront those things head-on, okay?"

"Um."

"If I can't get the treasure chest, I won't take it. My life is more important than anything else."

"Uh-huh."

"You're so young, and you already have so many injuries..."

"Dr. Zhou," Lin Sui'an turned her head, the stick of her lollipop sticking up, "you were like this last time too, your eyes would well up with tears as you talked."

Dr. Zhou lowered his head, used tweezers to hold gauze, and applied it to the wound.

"I'm not famous."

"That's a lie."

Doctor Zhou didn't say anything, but his movements became even gentler as he applied the gauze layer by layer and the medical tape neatly.

When Lin Sui'an was treating the wound on his side, he hissed.

"pain?"

"A tiny bit."

Dr. Zhou examined the depth of the incision and slowed down the iodine swab in his hand.

"You're more badly injured this time than last time."

"Was this an accident?"

"This time it was an accident, but will it be another accident next time?"

Lin Sui'an bit the lollipop into pieces, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

"Dr. Zhou, the way you talk so much reminds me of Uncle Ma from my old hospital."

Dr. Zhou paused.

"But what he kept repeating was 'Don't climb out the window, don't climb out the window, don't climb out the window.'"

After finishing applying the last strip of tape, Dr. Zhou stood up and turned to wash his hands.

The tap was running, and the sound of the rushing water drowned out all other noises.

Lin Sui'an pricked up her ears and tilted her head slightly.

"Dr. Zhou, are you... again?"

"No!"

"Your voice has changed."

"Water splashed out!"

Lin Sui'an turned over, sat up, and tilted her head to look at the back of Dr. Zhou.

The tap is off.

When Dr. Zhou turned around, there were no marks on his face, only the tip of his nose was a little red.

"Alright, the wound is treated. Just apply some ointment to the abrasions on the soles of your feet. Don't get them wet when you get back."

"Okay."

Lin Sui'an sat up in bed and had just put on her shoes when the door was pushed open.

Lin Sui'an's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Zhi: "Is dinner ready?"

"Yes, in the cafeteria."

"Let's go, let's go!" She rushed to Jiang Zhi in three steps and walked out.

After taking two steps, he turned back and smiled at Dr. Zhou.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you."

Doctor Zhou waved his hand: "Go eat."

Lin Sui'an ran off happily.

Dr. Zhou stood beside the examination table, looking at the empty hospital bed.

The wrapping paper of the gauze was scattered around, the cap of the iodine solution bottle was not screwed on, there was blood on the cotton swab, and there was a faint mark on the pillow.

There was also a lollipop stick next to it.

She reached out, picked up the pole, and threw it into the trash can.

Then he sat down, took off his gloves, and pressed the back of his hand to his eyes.

Lin Sui'an's voice came from the corridor outside the door.

"Sister Jiang Zhi! Can we have another serving of braised pork? I'd like some for a late-night snack too."
