“Was I not clear enough?” the Dean sneered. “With just that kitchen knife in your hand… what do you think you can do?” He roared, “You don't belong in my world! Why don't you hurry back to where you belong! Huh?”

*Clang!* With a swift movement, the kitchen knife slashed towards the Dean's neck.

Feng Bujue didn't care what the guy was saying. Anyway, the main quest clearly stated that he should kill the Dean, so this Boss must have a way to be defeated.

However… this strike felt like hitting iron, and the knife was bounced back.

The copper plates on the Dean's body weren't just for show; when he was alive, he was already a monster with skin of copper and bones of iron.

"Crap…" Jue-Ge cursed inwardly. Due to excessive force, his arm was numb from the impact, and even the edge of the kitchen knife in his hand had chipped.

"Humph… Since you don't want to help me open the door… then you shall die!" The Dean's fat body lunged out from behind the desk. He used his thick arms to strangle Feng Bujue's neck, shouting, "When you become a ghost, I'll let you know what pain really is! Hahahaha…" He laughed as he said this, "You little bastard pretty boy, I'll teach you for hitting on the nurses! For being late!" With each sentence, the force on his hands increased, "I'll teach you for dozing off during night shifts! For stealing blood for the patients!"

The immense force on his neck made Feng Bujue feel a strong sense of suffocation, and his consciousness began to blur. This kind of mental pain would undoubtedly accelerate the physical death of Lester. Once Jue-Ge, this "traveler from another world," had his Survival Value reduced to zero, Lester would truly "die," and he would completely turn from a living being into a ghost. At that time, the player's consciousness would be transferred, and Lester's fate… was self-evident.

"That's all my money! Mine!" The Dean roared, continuing to rant, "Did you think I built this hospital here for charity? To save lives and heal the wounded? You little bastard! This is a business… you understand? I want to curse those who come here, make them unable to leave… until they die, vacate the beds, and then I'll let those who are lining up and waiting to get in come in, of course… depending on who pays the most bribes." He frowned and glared, a disgusting smile hanging on his lips, "Oh… right, your girlfriend, what was her name… Fiona, that Chad's stupid sister. Did you think she just died? It's because you, her useless boyfriend, and her useless brother could only afford basic treatment costs… Humph… so I added something to her medicine to help her be relieved earlier…"

At this moment, the Dean had already lost his mind, and he had forgotten that he was talking to a "traveler from another world." When he strangled Feng Bujue's neck, years of resentment finally erupted. He couldn't help but pour out all these poisonous words that had been brewing for many years at Lester's face.

"The situation isn't right… I'm going to die if this continues…" In this critical situation, Jue-Ge was desperately thinking of a countermeasure in his mind, "Did I trigger some kind of death-flag in the previous game process? How should I defeat this Boss… This guy's strength is far above mine." He rechecked the game menu, and his inventory and skill slots were still locked, and his Ling-energy weapons couldn't be used… This was truly a hopeless situation…

Seeing that his Survival Value was rapidly dropping below 20%, about to enter a dying state, finally… a change came.

*Bang!*

The gold bricks on the floor were smashed through by a huge force. A thick arm, as thick as a thigh, shot out from under the floor tiles and accurately grabbed the Dean's ankle.

"Damn… did this plot have to be triggered when I was about to die…" Feng Bujue thought to himself.

The next second, the Dean released Lester and looked down in horror, shouting, "Who is it? This is impossible!" While shouting, he bent down to beat the giant arm.

However… his attacks were like scratching an itch, basically useless.

Then, with a series of loud crashes, the owner of that arm broke through the ground and climbed up to this floor.

"You son of a bitch…" One of Chad's own heads spat out an extremely nasty word. He flipped over, stood firm, and lifted the Dean upside down with one hand. "I'm going to make you pay!"

*Bang, bang, bang…*

Fists as big as sandbags rained down on the Dean's body. The scene was like hitting a sandbag, except the sound was like a hammer striking a copper drum.

"You… brainless idiot… big fool…" The Dean was hung upside down and beaten by Chad for a while. He was obviously seriously injured, and cracks appeared all over his body.

"Yes, I'm just a big fool," Chad replied. "I've never been smart since I was a child, and I've always been bullied. But my best friend never laughed at me, and neither did my sister. They always supported me and shared weal and woe with me. We are all ordinary, with meager incomes and no social status, but we live happily, unlike people like you… who hurt others for their own selfish desires."

Chad said at this point, raising his arms high, lifting the Dean over his head, and shouted, "In this world, I only have two family members, and you've already killed one. I won't let you harm the second one."

With an angry roar, Chad exerted all his strength and tore the incredibly solid Dean into two pieces.

For a moment, Feng Bujue thought he was safe, but…

"Ah…" A cloud of black smoke poured out from the Dean's torn body, accompanied by a terrifying roar. "I'm going to die with you!"

It seemed that this Boss could still make one last counterattack…

"Run!" The other head on Chad's shoulder turned to Feng Bujue and shouted. It should be his sister, Fiona.

Chad himself continued, "I'll hold him back, go!"

[Current quest has been changed, main quest has been updated] The system prompt also arrived.

Feng Bujue immediately opened the game menu and glanced at it. The main quest in the quest bar had been changed to four very concise words: [Escape from the Hospital].

There was nothing to hesitate about now. Jue-Ge immediately took a step forward and slid into the hole in the ground with a sliding tackle. This opening was the only way out of the third floor. He had no choice, even if jumping down would directly kill him… he had to jump.

Of course, the system wouldn't design the script that way. Therefore, after falling two or three meters, he landed safely, and his Survival Value didn't decrease at all.

"Thank you! Chad!" After landing, Jue-Ge immediately looked up and shouted.

With this look, he saw a very terrifying scene… A large cloud of black mist flowed down from the hole in the ceiling like a living thing and approached him…

"Live well! Lester!" Chad and his sister's voices came from above at the same time, but they were quickly swallowed by the black mist…

Feng Bujue took off and ran, sprinting wildly.

At this moment, he didn't have to worry about physical exhaustion anymore. He just ran to the lobby on the first floor with all his might…

"It's absolutely impossible to take the elevator…" Feng Bujue was busy but not chaotic. In just a few seconds, he had identified his position and quickly planned his escape route in his mind, "So… the one-way passage to the first floor is in…"

He ran fast, and the black mist behind him was no slower. The Dean's shrill ghost howls constantly came from the black mist: "Don't even think about running! You little bastard!"

"Get lost! You piece of crap!" Feng Bujue definitely wouldn't lose in words. Even while running for his life, he didn't forget to retort.

After sprinting for more than a minute, he approached the one-way passage on the second floor.

"As long as I turn the corner ahead… I'll be on the first floor soon." Feng Bujue secretly encouraged himself in his heart. He really needed some psychological hints like this now. Because he could clearly feel… Lester's body was dying.

Unexpectedly… when he turned the corner of the corridor ahead, a desperate scene appeared before his eyes.

In this corridor, there were a large number of ghost shadows standing, and the bodies of these ghosts were already close to being in a solid state…
