"Cheng Ping'an... Cheng Ping... Cheng An..." A soul-calling whisper came from above, indistinguishable, like a mix of male, female, old, and young voices, all calling out the same name. At first listen, it sounded like "Cheng Ping'an," but a closer listen revealed it to be a reverberation of the two names, "Cheng Ping" and "Cheng An." Yet, due to the similar intonation and tone, it forcefully gave the illusion of calling the same person. "Drip, drop..." Amidst the human voices, there…-

Cheng Xiaoyu marched at the front, a candy bulging in his cheek, swaggering like a child pretending to be a grown-up—an endearingly clumsy sight. Sun Dekuan trailed behind him, eyes glazed and vacant. After days of watching Qi Si's endless tricks, he'd given up trying to understand and resolved to lie flat like a salted fish. Qi Si slipped into the kitchen on the way, topped up the Candy Jar with a few more tadpoles, then sauntered to the rear of the little…

By the time the three of them returned to the ward, it was already half past six. The floors and corridors they passed through were empty, shadows blurred in the thin morning light, and they didn't encounter any patients or nurses along the way. Sun Dekuan placed Lu Zimo onto the hospital bed, then went back to his own bed and sat down heavily. The two of them looked at the empty bed by the wall that Huang Xiaofei had left behind, and a moment of disorientation arose in…

At Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen and the Female Teacher stood in a corner, holding their breath as they watched the female ghost and the frogs battle it out. The deafening croaks and cries grew louder and louder, then gradually thinned out after reaching a certain peak, the reverberation softening from its initial ear-splitting roar to a quiet murmur. Lin Chen pretended to be oblivious, secretly observing the Female Teacher's movements, while also pricking up his…

A quarter of an hour ago, Huang Xiaofei took a stack of white papers from Qi Si, keenly sensing the oddity in his demeanor. As she let the Ghosts pass and followed them towards the pond, she quickly flipped through the papers. Sure enough, a crumpled, handwritten page fell out. “Cheng An, I am Lu Zimo. I want to make a deal with you. If you help me kill Huang Xiaofei, I can transfer the Book of the Dead to you.” Looking at these words written…

“Our baby, give me back our baby...” The sharp voice was mixed with gurgling noises, as if the speaker had a mouthful of thick phlegm. The “tap-tap” of footsteps and the “slish-slash” sound of umbilical cords dragging across the ground grew closer, bringing with them a palpable chill. Huang Xiaofei understood Qi Si's actions and pointed at the ladle in his hand with a strange expression: “You call that a Red Frog?” “Close enough, as long as it works.” Qi…

The failure rate column displayed 【45%】, which was still within the acceptable range. What Qi Si found troublesome was the prompt text saying the Dean would come to see him tomorrow. According to his plan, tonight he and Lin Chen would search the bottom of the pond for the passage connecting the two hospitals, and if successful, they could try to advance the main quest tomorrow night. As for tomorrow during the day, they needed to quickly…

Green Frog Hospital, staff dormitory. Yu Kun, covered in blood, lay in a pool of blood amidst scattered flesh, gasping for breath. From the first ray of sunlight piercing through the window in the early morning to the vast expanse of white light pouring down, only a few short minutes had passed. All Ghosts dissipated in the light, settling down like dust and mist, adhering to the ground, leaving no trace, not even a limb. The blood and flesh all over the ground came from Yu…

"Huang Xiaofei, you went out once on the first night. What is the average strength of the Ghosts in this instance for you?" Turning a corner, Qi Si stared at the long, narrow, and dim corridor ahead, asking without looking back, "Can you beat them?" Huang Xiaofei took the cigarette from her mouth with two fingers and said calmly, "If they are the Pregnant Ghosts in the night corridor, I can handle ten at once. The night before last, there were too…

Qi Si watched Huang Xiaofei finish the bowl of tadpole soup and silently asked Lin Chen in his mind whether the count of swallowed tadpoles had changed. Same as the first day, Lin Chen gave a negative answer, confirming once again that the tadpole soup was not tallied toward quest progress. “Cherish food, stop waste—breakfast must be finished!” Outside the door, the nurse yelled at the top of her lungs, her voice as hoarse as sandpaper. Qi…
