Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

The hospital provides doctors with single rooms, each with a single bed and a small bathroom.

Su Mian subconsciously thought it was because the bathroom faucet was left running, but when she went over, she found that the hospital had lost power again.

She looked at the motionless faucet and showerhead and realized that the dripping sound was coming from outside the door.

She didn't really want to care, rubbed her aching temples, turned around and collapsed back onto the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep again after that.

At first, there was the sound of dripping water, then came the slow cough of an elderly person, accompanied by the sound of a cane hoeing the ground.

Finally, there was a tearing sound, like flesh being slowly ripped apart.

Su Mian was tormented and tossed and turned, until she was so exhausted that she finally fell into a deep sleep in the middle of the night.

The hospital was transformed in the early morning; fog enveloped the entire wasteland, and players on higher floors could only see a blinding white expanse when they opened their windows.

The morning was like night; the sky was a somber, inky black, and thick clouds hung low, as if to swallow the entire hospital.

Through the gaps in the clouds, a faint, dark red light shone through, like the reflection of a distant fire burning in the clouds.

Someone was hiding behind the curtains, anxiously observing this ominous celestial phenomenon.

The next second, he was bitten to a bloody pulp by an unknown species that pounced from behind, without even having time to call for help.

The unidentified species was wearing a hospital gown, and its face was covered with dark red veins that seemed about to puncture its transparent skin.

Transparent skin covered bones and flesh; it was hard to describe what it was.

It looks like a "meat swallow" (a type of meat dumpling), with skin as thin as cotton paper, making it seem like it would tear easily.

Its fighting power is terrifyingly strong, tearing apart the tight skin of humans in an instant.

[Zhang Shuozhi: What's the situation with those patients outside who look like zombies?]

[Su Tang: Ugh, this is disgusting! There are so many human fragments on the ground...]

[Chen Mo: Can we still go out today?]

Zhou Ruochuan: Let's not...

Without a doubt, no one wanted to go out.

But their phones kept sending them messages like crazy.

Please clock in at the office.

Please clock in at the office.

Please clock in at the office!

The final period turned into a red exclamation mark, the phone screen went black, and the phone completely crashed, causing everyone's hearts to sink to the bottom.

But can they really get out?

Su Mian glanced outside and saw that the entire corridor was so dark it could almost be pixelated. This explained everything that happened last night.

The dripping sound was actually blood splattering down the wall, while the tearing sound was the monsters eating human flesh.

However, apart from human remains, no monsters were seen on this floor. Su Mian cautiously pushed open the door and glanced outside warily.

Hearing the commotion, the others also came out, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Shuozhi: "What do we do now?"

Wang Zeyu glanced at his watch. "We usually clock in at 8:30, it's 8 o'clock now."

He paused for a moment before saying, "I think something terrible will happen if we're late."

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive, and no one wanted to know what the "horrible thing" was.

All they can do now is hurry to their respective offices on their floors to clock in.

The group arrived at the elevator lobby, but of the six elevators, only one was working; the buttons on the other elevators were unresponsive, as if they were dead.

Zhou Ruochuan began to tremble all over and squatted down, hugging his legs.

"I don't want to... I don't want to..."

He was on the verge of collapse, but no one had time to comfort him. Chen Mo even clicked his tongue impatiently, showing no intention of turning back.

"Don't be afraid, Ruochuan, cheer up."

Su Tang squatted down beside him, holding his shoulders, her sweet voice echoing throughout the elevator.

Zhou Ruochuan raised his head, his bright eyes like a pool of water, his gaze filled with encouragement and comfort.

"I...I."

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Zhou Ruochuan stared into those eyes, his face flushed red, and he stopped talking. Su Tang then helped him up.

Su Mian watched this scene quietly, seemingly lost in thought, but ultimately remained silent. She stared at the slowly rising floor numbers in the elevator, her thoughts drifting away.

That sentence really didn't sound like it was said to a stranger.

When did the two of them become so close?

The elevator doors opened, and six people squeezed inside.

The door remained open for a long time, then emitted two beeping alarms, and a red exclamation mark lit up on the screen.

"Overweight?!"

Wang Zeyu exclaimed in surprise.

Su Tang: "No way, there are only six of us..."

Zhang Shuozhi looked up at the top of the elevator, his tone subtle: "Perhaps... there are more than six people."

A single sentence jolted everyone awake, and a chill instantly crept up their spines.

Zhou Ruochuan: "Then...what should we do? Should we...leave or stay?"

His voice trembled as he spoke, and his legs seemed to give way as he wanted to squat down again.

"Of course we have to go! Who knows what will happen if we're late? Are we just going to wait to die?!"

Zhang Shuo shouted loudly, and the "foreign objects" on the top of the elevator began to stir.

Chen Mo was getting impatient and reached out to press the elevator button for the sixth floor.

"What are you afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We'll just grab a knife and stab them. Do you think your mouth is more powerful than a knife?"

Su Tang: "We're way overweight... Even if we had the courage to handle it, we couldn't get down now."

Su Mian tried to step out of the elevator, and sure enough, the elevator stopped making a sound the next second, and everyone fell silent again.

"Just... one person needs to go down..." Wang Zeyu suddenly realized, but a new problem arose: who should go down?

Only fifteen minutes left.

This elevator stops at many floors, and it definitely wouldn't take long to go in two groups. Wang Zeyu kept checking his watch, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Su Tang suddenly raised her voice: "Whoever is closest will be in the next batch!"

……

All eyes turned to Su Mian.

Without a doubt, the psychiatric ward is the closest floor to the staff dormitory.

But at this moment, out of consideration for social norms, no one dared to ask Su Mian to leave.

But Su Tang's words already made her stance clear.

Not a single person said "no".

Although it was cruel, they knew that if they took Su Mian's place, they would risk being late.

Nobody wants to pay the price with their life at stake.

Chen Mo walked out from the innermost part. "I'll go with you."

Su Mian shook her head.

"You're on the sixth floor, you'll miss the next batch."

Chen Mo pursed her lips and remained silent, while the person behind her urged her on.

"Hurry up, Sister Chen, it's still thirteen minutes."

Su Mian gazed into those stubborn eyes, then gently nudged Chen Mo, "Go quickly, give me more time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo didn't delay any longer and turned to enter the elevator.

Wang Zeyu looked worried but was powerless to do anything, and silently closed the elevator door.

[Mianmian, what are you going to do? Su Tang and Zhang Shuozhi are on the 21st floor, which is quite close. Why aren't they helping you?]
