Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Who is it? Has my behavior been exposed? This game doesn’t allow killing with force... how should I respond?

Xiyu quickly thought about a lot of things, his brow furrowed tightly.

He could feel the sound getting closer, almost reaching the door of his cubicle. Without hesitation, he stepped onto the toilet and jumped into the next cubicle, then quickly opened the door and ran outside!

"Stop!"

The voice calling him to halt sounded especially familiar.

Xiyu turned in surprise, only to find it was Luo Xi, who should have been waiting in the ward. He blinked and frowned: "How did you get out?"

Luo Xi gave a bitter smile: "Busy life, can't stay still. Also, the audience sent me some disease suppressants. I should feel a bit better in the next few hours, so I came out to look for some nutrients."

With that, he pulled a bottle out of his pocket and smiled: "Good things come to those who wait."

Xiyu sighed helplessly.

Luo Xi continued: "Just now, I saw Fu'er peeking around outside. As soon as I came over, he disappeared. I figured he's been keeping a close eye on you, so I came in to take a look."

Xiyu was more worried about Luo Xi, but he didn’t doubt his abilities. So, he briefly explained what had happened during this time, then said: "I'm still confident about handling the mission. Besides, with an alliance now, I plan to go collect the reward first, then look into Ying Zhixing's situation."

"Ying Zhixing... he's a very smart and calm person. Yao Shengming, apart from Zhang Hua, he’s a threat to Yao Shengming... this makes sense..." Luo Xi folded his arms and thought deeply. "Ying Zhixing probably figured out Yuan Wei’s identity a long time ago, maybe even recognized it secretly. If Yuan Wei's bone inducer falls into his hands, it could be very troublesome."

Xiyu urged him: "So, you should hurry back to the ward."

Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "Are you so sure... that the spy doesn't have any special methods to eliminate informants?"

Xiyu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "If they do, that would be too unfair. For now, we can only consider the known rules. Plus, with me and Zhou Rong, we may still have an advantage over that man. Ying Zhixing has lost a lot of blood, and his stamina is also running low."

"But don't forget, the nursing home can make patients sick, but it can also cure them." Luo Xi revealed: "He helps the NC on the director's side. He must be getting some benefits from it, right? What could be more tempting than getting medicine to control diseases?"

Xiyu hadn’t thought of this and was slightly surprised, unable to argue back.

Luo Xi: "So, even if he doesn’t have your inducer and can’t eliminate you, his mobility is much stronger than yours and Zhou Rong’s. Don't be complacent."

"I understand." Xiyu became even more serious: "But no matter what, I will do my best to secure a victory."

"Don’t stay here too long, Fu'er will come back." Luo Xi squinted his eyes warily. "You go complete the mission, I’ll go check elsewhere."He then tried to maintain steady steps as he left the women’s restroom.

Due to Luo Xi being in an unfavorable situation, Xiyu had originally planned to take care of him, but unexpectedly, the command authority had once again shifted to Luo Xi. As a result, Xiyu genuinely didn’t know whether to be happy or worried about it.

Upon learning that Xiyu had already sent the evidence out of the hospital, Nurse Chun let out a long sigh of relief. She handed Xiyu two bottles of nutrient solution as a reward and softly said, "So Winter is a cop... he disguised himself so well. I always thought Autumn seemed like a good person. Thankfully, I didn’t expose myself to him."

"Autumn must not have pure intentions here either. I saw him copying many genetic structure diagrams with my own eyes." Xiyu sneered, "Maybe he and Nurse Xia are in the same boat, trying to make money off the hospital."

Nurse Chun agreed, "Exactly. Though Hao Zhong is despicable, his research is very valuable. If medical staff were to steal and sell it, the financial benefits would definitely be significant."

Xiyu advised, "But there’s no time to worry about him now. You and Winter need to leave as soon as possible."

Nurse Chun silently pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I’ll try to contact him before anyone notices."

Xiyu, eager to complete the final task, asked, "Then… should we set a time?"

"At 6 AM. I’ll try to give you a chance to take blood then. Once we gather, we’ll head out." Nurse Chun furrowed her brows, "But the main gate of this nursing home can only be opened with the fingerprint of Nurse Lin or the director..."

Xiyu immediately decided, "That’s simple. We’ll just kidnap them and cut off their fingers."

Nurse Chun was shocked, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Xiyu then put on an innocent expression, "Or I’ll think of another way. In any case, I’ll make sure to send you out."

Moved by his determined demeanor, Nurse Chun’s eyes welled up with tears as she nodded seriously.

Xiyu didn’t have the time to stay and indulge in sentimental feelings with the NC. After offering a few more words of comfort, he packed up the nutrient solution and left.

Meanwhile, Ma Guanshan, who had been wandering around in confusion, searching for nutrient solution, was suddenly stopped by an uninvited guest.

He looked at Ying Zhixing for two or three seconds in confusion, slowly recalling his name, then stepped back, saying, "What do you want? I’m just an ordinary player."

Ying Zhixing sneered, "I know. After all, you haven’t even spoken to the NC in the past few days."

Ma Guanshan, who had always avoided good-looking, strong, and popular streamers, quickly planned to slip away. "So if you want trouble, go find those people who are actively involved."

Although Ying Zhixing wasn’t as physically strong as Ma Guanshan, he successfully grabbed him by the arm. "Alright, let’s skip the nonsense. You don’t have any nutrient solution, do you?"

Ma Guanshan: "......"Ying Zhixing: "One day today, one day tomorrow, and in the end, to determine if your game is successful, you still need two bottles. I'll give them to you, and you can just find a dog hole to hide. I don’t think you have any reason to refuse!"

Although this sentence was short, each word hit Ma Guanshan’s heart.

Indeed, compared to the thin pride with Luo Xi and the already-ended exchange of benefits with Xiyu, securing the capital to survive was more important. Even if he agreed, there was nothing disgraceful about it.

But Ma Guanshan wasn’t a fool, at least not at this moment, as Alzheimer’s hadn’t robbed him of his intelligence yet. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want the inducer from last night?”

Ying Zhixing said, “Of course. Do I look like an angel here to help you unconditionally?”

Ma Guanshan sighed. “I’m willing to cooperate with you. Your offer is very tempting, but unfortunately, you’re a bit late.”

Ying Zhixing furrowed his brows.

Ma Guanshan continued, “Xiyu also had the tool to restrain me. The two of us poured out the inducer together, not leaving a single drop.”

“Idiot!” Ying Zhixing instantly turned hostile, landing a punch that sent Ma Guanshan staggering and falling down, before pouncing on him and pinning him down to search his body.

Ma Guanshan struggled helplessly, “I’m not lying! Don’t I want to win? If I could exchange for nutrient solution, I’d definitely do it!”

Ying Zhixing searched his hospital gown with precise movements, clearly disappointed, then looked at him with a cold glare. “In that case, I can’t keep you alive.”

Ma Guanshan’s face changed, “What are you doing? If you kill me, you’ll be out!”

“I won’t kill you, but I won’t let you become their accomplice!” Ying Zhixing cruelly tightened his grip around Ma Guanshan’s neck, lifting his thigh and using all his strength to twist it in an extreme, painful manner!

The pain from the stretched ligaments caused Ma Guanshan to scream in agony as the two of them grappled fiercely!

Ma Guanshan had thought his physical abilities were the best among the remaining players, but he didn’t expect Ying Zhixing to be just as strong as before.

Their desperate struggle, which triggered severe warnings from the system, also shattered the long-standing silence of the nursing home.

Zhou Rong was quietly waiting for Xiyu at the door of the patient’s room. Upon hearing the noise, her curiosity got the better of her, and she quietly moved closer.

Just as she reached near Ma Guanshan, someone suddenly pulled her aside and covered her mouth.

It was Luo Xi.

Zhou Rong widened her eyes in panic, trying to calm her emotions.Luo Xi peeked at Ma Guanshan, who had been abandoned in place. Seeing that the big man was drenched in sweat and tears from the pain, unable to stand up, he couldn’t help but whisper, “It must be Ying Zhixing’s doing. Hurry up and leave, don’t walk into the line of fire.”

Zhou Rong was puzzled about what Ying Zhixing was doing to Ma Guanshan. However, when she turned her head, she was shocked to see Ying Zhixing appearing not far away, almost like she had run into a ghost. She immediately slapped Luo Xi and ran away!

Although Luo Xi had difficulty moving, his reaction was quick. He immediately abandoned Zhou Rong and fled in another direction.

Facing two easy-to-capture targets, Ying Zhixing didn’t hesitate. He chose Zhou Rong, who seemed more like an informant!

With lightning speed, he rushed toward the girl. At that moment, the hallway Zhou Rong was in seemed to expand and shrink, causing her to stumble. Naturally, she was clumsily knocked to the ground by Ying Zhixing.

“Idiots die from talking too much.”

Ying Zhixing didn’t even bother with sarcasm. He directly sprayed the rabbit inducer on Zhou Rong’s head.

In an instant, Zhou Rong seemed to be in extreme pain, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony.

At this moment, Ying Zhixing quickly stood up, discarded the rabbit inducer, and began chasing Luo Xi.

Under normal circumstances, Luo Xi wouldn’t fear confronting him directly, but now he was struggling to even run. There was no other choice but to desperately avoid him.

Ying Zhixing sneered and took out the bone inducer!

Before he could act, Xiyu suddenly lunged out from the corner of the hallway, plunging a scalpel into Ying Zhixing’s upper arm. Then, he fiercely bit the arm that was holding the inducer.

Ying Zhixing, in pain, released his grip.

Xiyu immediately threw the inducer toward Luo Xi's direction, but was then grabbed by Ying Zhixing’s neck.

Luo Xi picked up the inducer and stumbled away, disappearing into the hallway.

Xiyu was struggling to breathe but didn’t let go of the scalpel, slashing it wildly at Ying Zhixing. Ying Zhixing, seemingly unaffected by pain, quickly pinned Xiyu down in the sunlight streaming through the window!

Xiyu’s pale skin was immediately burned by the UV rays, and he let out a near-choking groan from his throat.

The danger of death loomed, and the system began to warn again.

[Streamer Ying Zhixing, please stop attacking other streamers. If the opponent dies, you will be eliminated.]

[Streamer Xiyu, please stop attacking other streamers. If the opponent dies, you will be eliminated.]Although both of them heard the announcement, neither had any intention of stopping. They both aimed to hurt the other even more.

Fortunately, at this moment, Luo Xi, who had finished handling the inducer, returned with another scalpel, slowly approaching Ying Zhixing.

Ying Zhixing knew that staying any longer would be of no benefit to him. Finally, he released Xiyu, supporting his various injuries, and quickly fled, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

At this time, Zhou Rong had already ended her painful torment, her eyes bloodshot as she lay on the ground unresponsive.

The system broadcasted as expected.

[Unfortunately, patient Zhou Rong has left us. Please accept our condolences.]

Xiyu, almost turned into a bloodied mess, was dragged into the shadows by Luo Xi. His consciousness was fuzzy, and for the first time, he experienced the decisiveness and terror of these expert streamers with their swift, precise actions.
