Fukang Hospital
Chapter 26.1
Edited by Worldworks.
Fukang Private General Hospital, 2nd Floor, The Radiology Department, and the Archive Room.
Hurried and messy footsteps echoed in the spacious and empty corridor. Su Cheng and Qi Shen ran desperately, and the shadows behind them spread as if chasing them, unwilling to let go.
Quick! Over here!
Su Cheng took out the master key exchanged from the system store and rushed into the archive room at the last moment before they were about to be caught!
Bang!
The door was slammed shut at the last minute, blocking the monsters that followed after them.
Su Cheng leaned against the door panel in horror, panting heavily.
In front of him was the huge archive room. The light inside was dim, and the rows of shelves were covered with dust, extending into the distance seemingly with no end in sight.
Su Cheng recalled what Wen Jianyan had told him before parting.
As part of the high-difficulty side quest, the role of Qi Shens sister, Lin Qing, must be very important, and the cause of her death might become a key point in the main plotline of the entire hospital instance.
Although they were forced to split into two teams this time, it was actually a good thing in a sense. After all, it was more efficient to divide into two teams.
Therefore, the main purpose for Su Chengs going to the second floor this time was to find information and clues related to Lin Qing in the archive room, and Qi Shen, Lin Qings younger brother, would also follow him and could help him eliminate many interference options.

REPORT THIS AD
Some places in the archive room were messy, obviously, they were the traces left by the anchor of the previous round.
After all, starting from this place was naturally the most convenient.
Su Cheng and Qi Shen looked through the archive separately, and soon found some useful information.
The predecessor of Fukang Private General Hospital was actually a professional womens and childrens private hospital, which was transformed into a more complete general hospital around 2000. However, even so, the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Fukang Private General Hospital was still the representative star department in the whole hospital, accepting more than twice as many patients as other departments.
However, after the full three-year peak period of admissions from 2010 to 2013, the number of patients admitted to Fukang Hospital began to decline sharply, and the entire hospital became decadent and deserted.
As for the specific reason, Su Cheng was also unclear about it.
The archives of that period have been lost to a certain extent. It was unknown whether they were taken away by other anchors or if they were not here in the first place.
Su Cheng turned his head to look at Qi Shen, By the way, when did your sister come to Fukang Hospital?
Qi Shen recalled for a moment, raised his head, and replied, Its about 12 years. But since she joined Fukang Hospital, maybe its because she was too busy, she rarely contacted the family anymore, so I dont know exactly what happened during that time.
According to the clues provided by Qi Shen, Su Cheng began to look for the obstetrics and gynecology archives between 2012 and 2014, but
The shelves on which these materials should be located were empty, and they seemed to have been emptied quite some time ago.
The road was blocked again.
Su Cheng frowned tightly, almost frustrated.
At this moment, as if thinking of something, he reached out into his pocket, took out his mobile phone, and opened the calendar.
The time displayed on the phone is April 24, 2014.
This should be the current time in this instance.
In the morgue before, the corpse whose eyes were stitched died at 2:00 a.m. on April 20, that is, four days ago.
According to the information provided by Xue Mingyan when she gave them the morgue task, no matter which morgue the corpses were in, they would not stay in Fukang Hospital for more than a week.
Then
The corpses lying in the hospital morgue now should all have died this week.
So, it was very likely that their case data had not been filed yet.
Thinking like this, Su Cheng walked toward the file cart at the entrance of the archive room. There were some documents scattered on the file cart, which should be the materials that havent been archived for the time being.
He squatted beside the file cart and began to read them carefully one by one.
Found it!
Su Chengs eyes lit up, and he pulled out a folder from the file cart that looked brand new.
The more he read, the more solemn the expression on Su Chengs face became.
He roughly counted the number of deaths during this period of time; there were more than eighty. But the number of corpses in the morgue, even with Lin Qing, was only a mere thirty-six. This could be explained by the fact that they were taken away in advance by family members or other institutions. But another point didnt make sense in any way.
Of the 80 or so deaths, 27 were male and the rest were all female.
However, in the morgue, all the twenty-seven corpses present were malesin other words, the disappeared corpses were all female corpses.
After carefully reviewing the case files, Su Cheng made a more important discovery.
Except for Lin Qing, all the female corpses that disappeared were pregnant women with dead babies.
Su Cheng closed the file with a livid face and threw it back into the file cart.
He now understood why the anchor, who had just been assigned to the patrol on the first floor, didnt want to go to the third floor, where he had just returned from.
No matter from which angle you look at
The third floor must be the most dangerous.
And the person who was sent to the third floor alone must be the most unlucky person in the entire instance.
Fukang Private General Hospital, 3rd Floor, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
The cockscomb head looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. For a moment, he was not sure whether the other party was a rookie who didnt know the height of the sky or a big guy who really wouldnt be surprised.
Wen Jianyan took out his mobile phone, opened his own system store, and took a look at it.
With the increase of points in the account, although the D-level store had not yet been unlocked, he had been able to see the appearance and specific effects of many props in the store.
including this.
His eyes fell on one of the props, and his eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the gleam at the bottom of his eyes.
This prop was very important, and it could almost be regarded as an indispensable part of his next plan.
You what are you going to do next?
The cockscomb head asked hesitantly.
Of course Im going to escape. Wen Jianyan smiled and raised his head. His face was illuminated by the screen of the mobile phone and was coated with a light halo.
He added lightly:
Unscathed, the kind that didnt even have a small injury.
Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing this almost arrogant declaration from the other partys mouth, the cockscomb head couldnt help but be shocked for a moment.
How is this possible?
Although he was not a senior anchor who had gone through hundreds of instances, his survival experience from several instances in the past had made it very clear that this was a dead end.
As long as they were wrapped around the umbilical cord of the ghost baby, there was no way to survive unless it voluntarily released them.
It would be fine if there was only one, but now this baby room was full of ghost babies. Even if they escaped from one, the second and third would still be entangled, and sooner or later, all the anchors points would be exhausted, which was an unsolved dead end.
And
Wen Jianyan squatted down to level with his eyes, and said with a smile.
If Im in a good mood, its not impossible to take you out with me.
?!
The cockscomb heads eyes widened, and he subconsciously held his breath.
Behind the young man was the gloomy babys room. The blue-purple ghost babies were giggling, almost making him feel chilled, but for some reason, even in this environment, the young man in front of him exuded an indescribable strong confidence that couldnt be ignored.
His voice was calm and soft, and there was something magical about it that one couldnt help wanting to believe.
Even though he knew that the current situation was almost incomprehensible, the cockscomb heads eyes couldnt help but light up with a glimmer of hope.
However, he was well aware that there was no free lunch in the world.
He composed himself and tried to ask slowly in the calmest tone:
What do you want?
Oh? Looks like you are mentally prepared? The young man smiled slightly, the light spots swaying in his amber eyes, My commission is very expensive.
I, I have 18,000 points left on hand.
The cockscomb head straightened up and said somewhat urgently.
18000 Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes, and the look on his face was a little elusive.
The cockscomb heads live broadcast room had already exploded.
[Fuck, the opposite is not a bigshot at all! I just went to his live broadcast room to watch. Hes just an E-level anchor who has only experienced an instance! Hes a newbie! Newbie! It is said that he is a scammer who often deceives people. The anchor must not believe his words!]
[And the name of his live broadcast room is Integrity First. Bah! Shameless!]
[Yes! E-level anchors can only bring 1,000 points in this instance at most. It is not yet the time for the points settlement in the live broadcast, and even if you kill the opponent, you cant get so many points to buy the props to restrain the ghost babies!]
[Yes, yes. I have seen this Fukang Hospital instance before. As long as the ghost baby dragged someone into this baby room, they would definitely die. The two anchors should not look down on each other; they are all mice that fell into the same pit. At most, one will die first and then the other.]
The above users remarks involve the same lobby anchor and will only be open to the audience.
Seeing that his offer didnt seem to impress the other party, the cockscomb head gritted his teeth and said, as if he had lost everything he had earned by his blood and sweat, I still have the difficult-level prop left over from the previous instance. Although it is only a difficult level, its rarity is very high. Even in the free trade market, it can be sold for at least 30,000 points. If you can really take me out, I am willing to give it to you!
Wen Jianyan raised his eyebrows and became interested. Oh? What Prop?
The cockscomb head took out his mobile phone, opened his backpack, and showed one of the props to Wen Jianyan.
It was a very old-looking toy gun. The turquoise paint has peeled off, revealing a pale plastic handle. There were tanned, dried blood stains near the muzzle, and below was the description of the prop:
Toy Gun of the Wronged soul (Difficult-level prop in the Orphanage instance), Usage: Fire a bullet that will surely hit and will 100% destroy a target (Utilization times: 1)
The cockscomb head smiled bitterly, Actually, my judgment is also wrong. If I had used this item from the beginning, I would not have fallen into this situation now.
Unfortunately, due to his wrong judgment and hesitation, he was dragged to this place by the ghost baby
Only then did he suddenly realize that the existence of this prop had already become meaningless.
Toy Gun of the Wronged Soul can only be used once. Even if this ghost baby was eliminated, he still couldnt escape the fate of being regarded as a mother, and the outcome still couldnt be changed.
He looked hopefully at the young man in front of him.
Wen Jianyan spat out an ambiguous evaluation, Not bad.
Now that the most useful things had been delivered, the cockscomb head didnt care anymore, and used 1000 points to exchange for a temporary contract in the system store, If you are really willing to rescue me, I will become your subordinate in this instance. You will be able to draw 20% of my points, and I wont be able to lie to you. Besides, the guarantee of my own life safety will be under the premise that Ill obey all your orders.
Wen Jianyan estimated in his mind.
The sheeps wool has almost been shaved, and dragging it again will not be very profitable.
Since its like this, then it can end here.
Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes and looked at the other party with regret.
Do you think these are enough?
Or, do you think these are of any use to me?
The cockscomb head was startled, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Indeed, these things he provided were only a drop in the bucket for a bigshot who had the means to repel all ghost babies. All his points might be a fraction of the other partys reward for a live broadcast, and the rare Difficult-level prop was just icing on the cake for a senior anchor; they are dispensable.
He had nothing left to trade.
Although the conditions you offered are not too attractive.
At this moment, the young mans words changed with a smile, However, I am a good-hearted person, so it is not impossible to help you. Besides, Im very interested in the information you have now.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his plump lips with his fingertips, Well, lets add some extra to this transaction, and then its a deal.
The cockscomb heads eyes widened, and he looked up at the other party anxiously, Wh What?
Isnt there Sleeping candy in the D-level store? The young man said lightly, Just that.
The number of people who purchased this prop was very small because its usage conditions were too limited and harsh. There were almost no suitable occasions to use it, so the price was low, only five hundred points.
The cockscomb head, who thought that the other party would open his mouth wide like a lion, was stunned.
He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, and there was a hint of surprise and emotion in his eyes.
Only, only this is enough?
This is charity!
This guy is too kind!
In the live broadcast room of the cockscomb head.
[I bet 50 points, the damn liar on the other side just wanted this item from the beginning.]
[I can bet 100 points with you!]
[Yes, he is E-level. Even if the points are enough, he cant buy props in the D-level store. I guess the other party was going for this Sleeping candy from the beginning.]
[Damn, a transaction that can be made with 500 points has been raised to this level. It even made our anchor overwhelmed with gratitude and even feel that he was taking advantage]
[What a born capitalist! (Slowly leaning back)]
[Im more curious about what he wants this Sleeping candy for. Even if it makes the ghost babies fall asleep, it cant loosen the umbilical cord I really dont understand. What is the anchor on the other side trying to do? He doesnt really think that this hip-pulling prop can save both of their lives, right?]
[Sorry guys, Im very curious, so Im going to the live room next door! Ill be back later!]
[Me too, wait for me!]
The number of online viewers in the cockscomb heads live broadcast room suddenly dropped, while the number of people online in Wen Jianyans Integrity First live broadcast room began to soar. All the people who came in were curious viewers who wanted to see what the anchor was doing from a first-person perspective.
After confirming the terms, the two pressed their fingerprints on the temporary contract. The yellowed parchment flickered for a moment and instantly turned into a light spot and disappeared, which meant that the transaction was protected by the system and neither party could violate it.
Wen Jianyan opened the interface, and the Toy Gun of Wronged Soul and Sleeping Candy appeared in the backpack, and a smile quickly crossed his lips.
Yes, this transaction was very pleasant.
Immediately afterward, he clicked on the backstage of the system store, spent 1,000 points, purchased the five-minute opening time of the daily necessities section, and then started a shopping spree.
The cockscomb heads body had reached its limit, and he could only hold up the huge belly that seemed to be swelled. He sat on the spot uneasily, watching the bigshot who had just made a deal with him, put away his mobile phone, turned around, and walked toward the group of host babies.
He really didnt know, since they had already reached this point, what kind of heavenly means the other party had to let them escape together.
Five minutes later, the young man put the mobile phone back in his pocket, then walked along the umbilical cord around his waist, and accurately found the ghost baby that was entangling him.
Baby, why didnt you come to find your mother?
The young mans voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of pampering and reproach.
In an instant, all the ghost babies turned their heads and looked in this direction. The pair of pure black eyes looked particularly terrifying on the huge blue-purple head, staring at the young man in front of them, and firmly locked onto his figure.
Wen Jianyan controlled his expression with his strong psychological quality, his face hardly changing in the slightest.
