Chapter 102: The Game
After Mr. Wang left, Jiang Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, this was the first time she had tried such a problem-solving approach. It was very novel, but at the same time, it was also quite a test.
Most importantly, this should be… the first time she had cleared a mission on her own since the newbie instance.
Jiang Yu glanced at the direction of the treatment room, knowing that Zhong Yu was in there at this moment, but it was not the right time to meet up with her.
According to the content of the notebook, there were still three appointment guests, one of whom had an appointment for the treatment room on the second floor. Therefore, Jiang Yu had to go back as soon as possible.
On the way back to the second floor, Jiang Yu sent a message to Zhong Yu, roughly saying that she had successfully dealt with a patient on her side, so that she didn’t have to worry too much.
Then, Jiang Yu returned to the treatment room, turned on the light, and cautiously waited for the second patient to arrive.
At the same time, in the treatment room on the first floor.
After Shi Jun heard the message from her phone, her originally at-ease, cat-and-mouse-like movements finally lost their patience.
The movements of her hands became slightly heavier, and the ghost was turned to ashes under her palm.
A very faint smile and indifference was in Shi Jun’s eyes. She didn’t pay attention to the ghost’s situation. Instead, after she clapped her hands, she took out her phone.
After she saw the message from Jiang Yu, Shi Jun’s smile deepened.
She knew that Jiang Yu could do it.
Now it seemed that perhaps agreeing to the other party’s decision was the right one.
But… there was still a slight sense of loss.
What Shi Jun wanted was for the other party to rely on her completely, and it would be best if she became a dodder flower that couldn’t live without her. But Jiang Yu was destined not to become this type.
Shi Jun lowered her gaze and turned off her phone.
But it didn’t matter now.
After all, her own growth, Jiang Yu, was also possible to protect herself to the greatest extent in the World of Strength.
Shi Jun narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the night outside the window.
And after she came out of this instance, her level should also be close to S-rank.
Although she hadn’t helped Jiang Yu, Shi Jun herself had also played many roles in the instance. Even if the level of this instance was lower than her character’s level, and it was a little restrictive for her, but after she came out, at most, after one more instance, Shi Jun could break through.
And at that time…
It would be the time to show her true colors.
In fact, if it weren’t for Jiang Yu, Shi Jun could have “graduated” long ago.
Just like she had mentioned before, rubbing off on other people’s instances, there were many S-rank people in Wang Meng. Shi Jun could just team up with anyone and enter an instance to directly reach S-rank.
But…
If that were the case, her time with Jiang Yu would become very little, and Shi Jun didn’t like this.
For this, she could give up some shortcuts and efficiency in exchange for more time with Jiang Yu.
The first patient being able to be dealt with smoothly was more or less a coincidence. Jiang Yu didn’t get arrogant because of this.
At this moment, she was in the treatment room, waiting for the second guest to arrive on the one hand, and observing the environment of the treatment room on the other, and whether there were any tools she could use.
Jiang Yu found a switch button next to the hospital bed. She carefully tested it and found that it was actually connected to a circuit.
In other words, this hospital bed was a real electric bed.
After a person was tied to it, they could only receive electric shock treatment.
Jiang Yu frowned slightly.
Although she didn’t have much knowledge, she had never heard of a hospital bed in a treatment room being like this.
Although the name and the hospital ward were very similar, but as expected… this was not a normal place.
Based on her imagination and some of the horror stories she had read before, Jiang Yu could quickly imagine what had happened here.
However, for now, these were not important clues to her, because the mission was a survival-type mission, not an exploration-type or a main-line type, so the exploration of the plot and storyline was optional.
Jiang Yu was not interested in things that couldn’t add points.
Then Jiang Yu found some information in the cabinet, which confirmed her guess.
This place was more like a sanatorium than a small hospital.
Some elderly patients who couldn’t take care of themselves, or just elderly people who were not sick, or some people with strange behaviors that were not understood, were all sent to the sanatorium.
In name, it was for recuperation, but what was actually done here could be glimpsed from these equipment.
However, these didn’t seem to have any special connection with the patients?
Jiang Yu frowned slightly.
Because Mr. Wang didn’t seem to fit in here.
Jiang Yu closed the information, and then took out another folder.
The records on it were of some of the former patients here. Most of them were elderly, and a part of them were young people with intellectual problems.
Jiang Yu looked at the list, but she didn’t find anyone who matched the person on the front desk’s notebook.
Jiang Yu put the information back.
Maybe she was overthinking it. Or this had nothing to do with her mission.
The phone rang. Jiang Yu thought it should be a message from Zhong Yu. She was just about to take out her phone to check, but suddenly, the light went out.
In an instant, the room became dark.
Although Jiang Yu had some night vision, but such a sudden light out made her unable to see the surrounding environment clearly for a moment.
Jiang Yu raised her guard.
A wisp of a cold wind blew in from somewhere. Jiang Yu could keenly feel that the wind was staying behind her neck.
Jiang Yu suppressed the characteristics of a living person to the minimum.
Even if she was suspicious of the situation behind her, she didn’t dare to risk turning around.
Jiang Yu’s steps moved slightly, trying to take a step forward.
And the next moment, the back of Jiang Yu’s head felt cold, and her subconscious reaction made her brain react before she could think.
Jiang Yu rolled to the side. The next moment, she could feel a feeling of almost a blade cutting from above.
If she had been a step later, then her neck should have been cut now.
Now Jiang Yu could already adapt to the situation of the night, but she still didn’t see anything.
It seemed that compared to the first patient, this time the patient should be a pure soul ghost.
Jiang Yu’s lips parted slightly, and she bit her fingertip, and then she controlled her blood to slowly flow out.
As a blood clan, Jiang Yu had some abilities, but she didn’t know if these abilities could deal with ghosts.
The blood that flowed out did not flow all over the ground, let alone stain her body. Instead, it was like a non-Newtonian fluid, connected to Jiang Yu’s fingertips, and was controlled by her.
Jiang Yu controlled her blood to attack in the direction she had judged.
—But there was no feeling of touching.
The next moment, Jiang Yu’s eyes narrowed, and she dodged the attack again.
Was there anything in the treatment room that she could use?
If she could not use an item, then she would try her best not to use an item.
However, Jiang Yu did not completely let the other party attack. She also tried to communicate with the other party.
Jiang Yu remembered that if there were no surprises, then the one who had arrived at this time should be the appointed Miss Hu.
“Hello, Miss Hu. I’m your attending doctor. May I ask what’s troubling you? I can help you solve it.”
After she said this, Jiang Yu secretly complained in her heart that it was a bit strange, like a sales pitch.
However, the other party did not reply.
Jiang Yu frowned slightly.
For now, this ghost seemed to have no reason. Because there was only Jiang Yu in the room, so she had targeted Jiang Yu to attack.
She was tireless, and she had no intention of being treated.
Did she have to subdue her first?
It was just that she didn’t know what method to use. It was not a method to just dodge like this.
Jiang Yu couldn’t help but “tsk” lightly.
Then, her movements stopped.
In that instant, it was as if a cold wind from all directions was squeezing towards her. Jiang Yu felt as if she had been dragged into the cold sea water.
Even though she was already a nearly dead body and temperature at this moment, but Jiang Yu could still feel the even colder temperature around her body.
If it were an ordinary person, at this moment, they would probably be shivering from the cold.
Jiang Yu paid close attention.
Then, a salty and fishy smell of the sea came from her nose.
Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly.
Then there was the feeling of the water rising, and after it was inhaled into her nasal cavity, it moved towards her lungs.
After she noticed this, Jiang Yu stopped breathing.
Because she had just had the action of breathing to smell the aura. According to her current physical condition, it was completely fine even if she didn’t breathe.
The feeling of drowning around her was becoming clearer and clearer. Jiang Yu could be sure that she had not judged wrong.
But because of her constitution, Jiang Yu was not flustered at all at this moment.
When the pressure around her body was getting heavier and heavier, Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, and vaguely saw a black shadow flash in front of her.
Then the black shadow became more and more solid, and the ghost appeared in front of her.
It was a drenched woman, her hair like seaweed covering her entire head and most of her body. Her clothes were wet and clinging to her body, and her hands were covered in dark mud.
The pressure on her neck had originally been the other party’s hands.
Jiang Yu quietly looked at her, who was choking her own neck.
“Hehe… go to hell… you go to hell…”
A low and strange tone, it looked like a water ghost who was taking a life. Then, that head of wet long hair spread along her arm, and the hair separated, intending to drill into Jiang Yu’s seven orifices.
Jiang Yu frowned.
Although she didn’t need to breathe, and the other party couldn’t choke her to death, and it shouldn’t be a big problem for her hair to drill in, but…
She always felt that her hair was very disgusting.
So, Jiang Yu broke free from the invisible shackles of the sea, and one of her hands grabbed the other party’s hair.
The woman whose hair was grabbed was very angry, and all the hair behind her danced angrily like the legs of an octopus.
“Go to hell, go to hell! Come and accompany me in the sea…!”
Jiang Yu’s wrist turned, and she firmly wrapped her hair around her arm.
It was also at this time that she opened her eyes.
Ah, she could touch it.
Jiang Yu grabbed the other party’s hair and moved to the side of the cabinet.
“Miss Hu, you may not believe it, but I have something here called a lighter.”
The other party’s movements paused.
“Although you’re covered in seawater, and I don’t know if I can burn it, but…”
Jiang Yu glanced at the cabinet of books and paper with a hint of meaning.
“There are a lot of combustibles here. After I close the door and the window, I think you can slowly warm yourself up.”
