Chapter 63
The corpses wanted to get wild, but Shi Jian forcibly interrupted their “spell,” making them lie back down.
Shi Jian: Just lie down!
Shi Jian didn’t really expect it to work, but there was no better solution now, so she had to try.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.
Originally, the broadcasters were all trembling, waiting for the corpses to rush them in a do-or-die fight.
The corpses were already dead; the ones getting hurt would definitely be them, so it could only be a desperate fight.
But unexpectedly, Shi Jian suddenly pulled off this move.
The threatening corpses obediently lay down one by one.
Comments among the broadcasters quickly surged.
...
【Rocket x10】
【Yacht x7】
【Flowers x999】
【Gently offering my knees to the big boss, what a treasure broadcaster! Too strong! Not to mention figuring out this floor, how can her tone be so similar to the head nurse! The voice is completely different, but it just feels exactly like the head nurse.】
These days it wasn’t just the broadcasters tormented by the nurse rounds; the audience had witnessed the whole thing.
Shi Jian’s tone was no longer “similar,” it was exactly the same!
Shi Jian revealed a bit of her skill, quietly taking credit: No big deal, just the self-discipline of an actor.
Shi Jian is a professional actor. Acting looks easy, many people haven’t even studied a day of acting class before joining a crew, but it’s actually not that simple. Shi Jian had formal training and was always top of her class in professional courses.
The basics of acting include voice, stage presence, body language, and expression. For Shi Jian, imitating the head nurse was not difficult.
【That line “which little corpse still has their eyes open” really hit my funny bone.】
【Thanks to the broadcaster, someone as timid as me can now boldly embrace horror game streams. Just now I almost got scared away by the morgue scene, but now I’m laughing with tears.】
【If you think about it carefully, it’s hard to say whether the broadcasters are more scared by the corpses or the corpses are more scared by Shi Jian.】
【Judging by the reactions of the corpses and the broadcasters, I’m voting that the corpses got more scared.】
Seeing no corpses moving, Shi Jian signaled to everyone, “Go?”
They had to take advantage of the moment to leave quickly; the longer they delayed, the more unpredictable things could get.
Tang Tian and Sun Zhuo nodded.
They had to leave, and fast!
They all knew the corpses weren’t really asleep but pretending, and they still had to pass through these corpses... so this action was like dancing on thin ice, with the risk of the ice breaking at any moment. They didn’t know if the corpses would react.
Shi Jian stood in the middle of the group, trying not to look down at the corpses on the beds, holding her head high and chest out, looking ahead.
They quickened their pace—once past this area, they could rush straight to the stairs.The corpses weren’t stupid either. Shi Jian and the others were blatantly walking past them. Although the deep fear brought by the nurse rounds kept the corpses from getting up, some corpses muttered to cover up their nervousness, “I’m resting, I’m resting.”
But Shi Jian still heard other voices.
One corpse spoke, “I smell the scent of the living.”
The corpse beside him responded, “I smell it too.”
“Me too.”
“Me as well...”
“So fragrant.”
Their voices weren’t very loud, but one after another murmuring about smelling the living combined to create a fairly loud noise.
At least all the broadcasters, including Shi Jian and Tang Tian, heard this and instantly felt chills.
Shi Jian lowered her head and met a pair of open eyes.
This corpse was staring straight at her. The scent of the living had already made him forget the shadow left by the head nurse’s rounds. He was thinking—can he get up and eat?
And the head nurse and the others had no living scent!
These people did.
There were quite a few corpses like him. Although Shi Jian had just imitated the head nurse’s rounds to make everyone close their eyes, now many had opened them, and some bold ones were stirring, already making small moves.
Shi Jian only now realized this—these corpses could actually sense the scent of the living.
The broadcasters, who had just felt a glimmer of hope, now wanted to cry. Some were already ready to fight; whether they wanted to or not, they had to face it.
Tang Tian, nerves tense, held a clipboard, prepared to take down whoever charged first.
In this tense moment, Shi Jian said something again. She met the gaze of that corpse and greeted him, “Want to get up and play?”
Corpse: ?
Broadcasters: ?
Audience: ?
Why invite a corpse to come play?
Shi Jian still enthusiastically continued, “Come on, let’s go out and play, my friend.”
The corpse seemed to have thought of something terrible and directly pulled the white cloth up, covering his face.
The whole corpse gave off this vibe—
Dead, don’t bother.
Your baby’s not in service here, completely dead.
Since the corpse had just stared at her, almost scaring Shi Jian, she was a bit annoyed, so she used an iron hook nearby to lift the cloth back up.
Shi Jian repeated like a broken record, “Get up and play, get up and play.”
Who’s she trying to scare! You were acting so tough just a minute ago, show what you got.The corpse covered its face with the white cloth again, this time with a look full of grievance—angry but afraid to speak.
Tang Tian had spent more time with Shi Jian, and after combining Shi Jian’s interaction with the corpses, she understood.
Shi Jian was acting out the scene where the nurses transform into various personas to trick patients out of their wards!
So Tang Tian quickly joined in. She called out to another corpse, “Friend, are you hungry? Come on, let’s go have some late-night snacks.”
That corpse decisively closed its eyes.
After Tang Tian followed Shi Jian’s lead, the other broadcasters finally caught on.
For a moment, the entire morgue was filled with the broadcasters’ heartfelt calls.
“Want to leave, friend? I found a secret passage that can lead directly out of Renxin Hospital.”
“Friend, friend, let’s go sing karaoke outside.”
…
All the corpses covered their faces with the white cloth. No—they refused.
After Shi Jian and the others successfully passed through and climbed the stairs, these corpses remained motionless. Only when they couldn’t hear any movement did they begin to close their eyes and talk.
“Brothers, that was intense.”
“Tell me about it, I almost got caught just now. Didn’t expect the nurse rounds to have upgraded their methods. Not only do they change appearances, but now they even change their scent. Almost got tricked.”
“The scent of the living smells so good. Too bad it’s fake. Sigh.”
“That constant calling of ‘friend’ really made my guts tremble. Scary.”
The corpses were very relieved to have dodged this round of nurse rounds.
They gritted their teeth—Renxin Hospital’s medical staff were getting increasingly underhanded. How could they even fake scents now, making it impossible for the corpses to defend themselves!
As for why Shi Jian and the others called out “friend” but the corpses had no memory of any such friend existing, the corpses didn’t dwell on it.
That must have been another corpse’s friend.
Another corpse thought the same.
Viewers in the livestream chat were wildly slapping their thighs: “Thank goodness I didn’t miss today’s stream, this is amazing!”
Such a retrospective relief scene should have happened on the corpses’ side—had the two sides gotten the scripts reversed?
The mastermind behind the reversed scripts, Shi Jian, was already slipping upstairs along the stairs with everyone else.
Sharing hardship and escape together quickly closed the distance between them, and the broadcasters’ thoughts aligned with the audience’s.
This scene was clearly tense and scary, but somehow it had turned lively and playful.
Nurse rounds are really interesting!
Scaring the corpses is fun too!
Turns out changing identity like this is such a blast.
So when everyone reached the upper floor and found that this floor was still a morgue, nobody found it hard to accept.Some broadcasters even held a faint hope: she was ready to start calling “friend” as soon as Shi Jian finished the rounds; she could even call them “friend.”
But Shi Jian realized this time she couldn’t use the old trick.
Because when she still tried to use the usual “10 o’clock rounds” excuse, a corpse glanced at the wall and sneered.
“Who are you fooling? It’s only 5:30 in the afternoon.”
Shi Jian and Tang Tian: “…”
Damn, this morgue even had a clock.
Shi Jian tried to keep bluffing, “The clock’s broken.”
Another corpse pointed out, “The sky’s still bright, we have skylights here.”
What else could they do but start fighting? The key was that the corpses on this floor were calling up to the corpses downstairs.
“Brothers, what are you lying there for? There are living people here!”
The corpses downstairs realized they’d been tricked and were furious, rushing up to this floor, making noises.
…
The scene was chaotic, a big brawl broke out.
Broadcasters with props used them; those without just grabbed anything nearby and smashed it on the corpses. Broken things littered the floor.
Tang Tian, usually easy to overlook, stayed steady; the corpses ignored her. She searched for Shi Jian to help her good sister.
But Tang Tian found—
Maybe Shi Jian didn’t need her help?
Shi Jian, wearing her Barbie pink high heels, dealt deadly chicken strikes to male corpses and yanked the hair of female corpses, holding her own against several corpses.
Even the corpses watched Shi Jian and exclaimed, “Damn! What a dirty fighting style!”
Shi Jian looked respectable but fought dirty, specifically attacking weaknesses.
Shi Jian: Who cares if it’s dirty? As long as it works!
Shi Jian kept calm on the outside, but inside she was screaming: Stay away from me! Don’t come near!
Of course, her attacks were fast, precise, and ruthless. When the Barbie pink heels flew, there was no intact egg left.
Sun Zhuo felt this wouldn’t work and shouted, “Everyone spread out! Let those who can escape head to the office…”
They needed to lure the corpses away so the broadcasters who could reach the director’s office could go there to tamper with information.
Shi Jian obeyed orders and led the corpses away.
Sun Zhuo suddenly noticed a large number of corpses were missing from the room.
“Where are the corpses?”
He was a bit dumbfounded.
Tang Tian pointed in the direction Shi Jian disappeared, “…They all followed Shi Jian.”Tang Tian shouted “Mom!” then quickly followed after her.
Shi Jian really stirred up a lot of hatred; the corpses all wanted to get justice.
Shi Jian ran up one floor along the stairs, mostly struggling to shake off the corpses behind her. She didn’t even know what route she was taking or where she was, just turned several corners.
…
Doctor Feng was in the lab preparing medicine. He held a test tube with tweezers, wearing a white coat, but his movements looked like a Western witch.
Added centipedes, added lizard tails, added venom from poisonous snakes…
Doctor Feng stared intently at his soon-to-be masterpiece, a pitch-black substance in the test tube.
This was the medicine he specially prepared for Shi Jian.
Doctor Feng felt Shi Jian was way too arrogant; today she even yelled at him like he was her ancestor — he had to give her some face.
Since even the head nurse couldn’t deal with Shi Jian, Doctor Feng decided to handle it himself.
With this medicine, he’d send Shi Jian to the afterlife!
Doctor Feng was finishing the final and most crucial step when suddenly he heard chaotic footsteps.
It sounded like high heels, but many footsteps were heavy and thick.
Who was it?
Doctor Feng showed no fear but had to finish the medicine before he could pay attention.
“Bang—”
Something heavy slammed against the door; Doctor Feng’s hand shook, and the test tube shattered.
Doctor Feng stiffened all over.
He stared in disbelief at the broken test tube and the spilled liquid.
That was his hard work—he was broken too.
“Who’s outside making such a ruckus, rushing to reincarnate?!” Doctor Feng’s whole ghost almost lost it.
The one banging on the door wasn’t Shi Jian but a corpse desperate for revenge, hitting the door as it turned the corner too sharply.
But Doctor Feng’s shout successfully caught Shi Jian’s attention.
She had already passed the room but turned back; her pretty, bright face appeared outside the glass, locking eyes with Doctor Feng through the window.
Shi Jian didn’t expect to see a familiar ghost at such a moment. She glanced at the test tube in Doctor Feng’s hand.
“Doctor Feng, are you testing medicine?”
“Stop that, I’m giving you a chance to make a name in the medical world…”
Shi Jian opened the door, leaning her head in and said to Doctor Feng, “You should study them—they’ve reanimated. Is this a medical miracle or not?”
She pointed to the corpses chasing after her.
“Hurry up and research this. Opportunity won’t come twice. If your research goes well, don’t just talk about being the director of psychiatry—you can be the director of Renxin Hospital by tomorrow!”"Are you touched? How good I've been to you, how much I've been on your side."
