It was barely discernible as a woman, dressed in an old-fashioned hospital gown, the kind with blue and white stripes.

The woman's face was turned to the side, her hair a mess, but what alarmed Huai Yi even more were her terrified eyes and a finger held up to her lips.

Shhh...

The woman was warning him, and Lin Wan'er beside him, not to speak!!

Huai Yi immediately understood, she was the crazy nurse.

The one huddled under the covers in the bed... was the ghost!!

If he had lifted the blanket earlier, or had any further contact, both he and Lin Wan'er would have been in danger.

Judging from the crazy nurse's posture, the scraping sound just now must have been the sound of her crawling with both hands.

This ghost... was truly persistent.

But now that he'd seen through it, Huai Yi prepared to leave immediately, but as he slowly retreated, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lin Wan'er wasn't moving.

Why wasn't she leaving? What was she doing?

A fire surged in Huai Yi's heart. If this woman hadn't taken it upon herself to open the door to room 906, they wouldn't have fallen into the ghost's trap.

Although Lin Wan'er had seen through the ghost at the last moment.

After all, she was the one who caused all this.

After much deliberation, Huai Yi still decided to go back and give her a hand, not because he was so kind-hearted, but because he thought this woman was different from Du Feng.

Guys like Du Feng, who were stupid and selfish, could die and it wouldn't matter, but Lin Wan'er was different. Apart from being a bit rash this time, her previous performance was quite commendable.

Not only could she keep up with his train of thought, but she could also see through appearances to the most fundamental things behind them, and even say things that could inspire him.

That was rare.

Her being alive was valuable, both to him and to the whole team.

If he wasn't mistaken, the task was nearing its end, and at this time, the ghost would become increasingly frantic and terrifying.

Having such a person by his side was beneficial to him.

Moreover... it seemed that Lin Wan'er knew Jiang Cheng, and Huai Yi always felt that Jiang Cheng's behavior was rather strange.

He didn't seem like a newbie; it was very likely that he had also experienced Nightmare Assault.

He thought a lot, but it only took a moment for his thoughts to manifest. Just as Huai Yi's fingers were about to touch Lin Wan'er's arm, Huai Yi's expression turned strange.

He noticed... that the crazy nurse under the bed wasn't looking at him, or the closer Lin Wan'er, or even the ghost on the bed.

But... at the window.

Even though the light was poor, Huai Yi could see the thick fear in the crazy nurse's eyes, almost solidifying.

She seemed very afraid of the window.

What was there?

Huai Yi followed the crazy nurse's gaze. The area near the window was shrouded in a thin darkness. The window was about a third of the way open, the rest covered by a thick curtain.

Fortunately, there wasn't a green, glowing face floating outside the window. Huai Yi had been prepared to be startled by a suddenly appearing ghost face.

"Whew—" Huai Yi exhaled softly, wondering if his mental stress was too high.

The ghost was already on the bed, how could it be in two places at once, one outside the window?

It was all just him being too nervous, scaring himself.

A gust of wind blew from somewhere, bringing a chilling cold.

The next second, Huai Yi's eyes, which had not yet turned away, trembled slightly, and then suddenly tightened as if he had noticed something.

He saw that the wind had lifted the very bottom of the thick curtain in front of the window, revealing a pair of feet together, with a lead-gray tint.

It was only when Lin Wan'er reminded him that Huai Yi came back to his senses from his horror. The two slowly retreated until they left room 906.

After closing the door, Huai Yi was still frightened.

Even stronger than the feeling of fear was doubt. After getting further away from the ward, Huai Yi leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

The look in his eyes towards Lin Wan'er was also different from before.

"How could... there be two ghosts?" Huai Yi lowered his voice. "It's impossible. There was clearly only one ghost that attacked me outside the hospital?"

"If two ghosts had attacked together, I couldn't have come back alive?"

Huai Yi's thoughts returned to the time when he was attacked by the ghost outside the hospital. The wound in his abdomen had only been simply disinfected and bandaged, and it was now throbbing with pain.

According to their previous deduction, the ghost should only be Xiang Nan.

Or rather... the only ghost really related to this matter was Xiang Nan, and they only needed to deal with Xiang Nan.

Who exactly was the other ghost...?

Who had he missed?

After a moment, Lin Wan'er looked into the depths of the corridor, not noticing anything unusual, before retracting her gaze and looking at Huai Yi. "It doesn't have to be a ghost," she said.

"What are you saying?" Huai Yi frowned.

"Didn't you see the pair of feet behind the curtain?" Huai Yi said quickly, "I saw it clearly, the feet were together, with a layer of lead-gray on them. They were definitely not the feet of a living person!"

Huai Yi was still entitled to speak on this point. After all, he had some experience in facing ghosts.

"I'm not talking about the one behind the curtain." Lin Wan'er replied without thinking.

Hearing this, Huai Yi pondered for a moment, and as time passed, his emotions stabilized. "Are you saying... the one on the bed... is a person?" Huai Yi looked up and asked.

"Yes," Lin Wan'er said.

The clues were reorganized and broken in his mind. If what Lin Wan'er said was true, and the guy on the bed was a person, then he must know what was going on here.

"It's... Zhao Ru!" Huai Yi seemed to have figured it out, and suddenly said.

This wasn't hard to guess. In the entire hospital, the only one who could cooperate with the female ghost was Zhao Ru, after all, she was Xiang Nan's daughter.

And in the beginning, she was the one who pointed the finger at Director Qi.

Zhao Ru was also arranged by the hospital to be the nurse in charge of taking care of the crazy woman in 906. Her conditions could be said to be more convenient than anyone else's.

Of course, she must have actively striven for this.

For the smooth progress of the plan.

After taking a few breaths, Huai Yi's condition was much better, and his mind became clearer. "I admit that what you said makes sense." Huai Yi exhaled and said, "But there's one thing I can't figure out. Why did they control this crazy nurse? What's the purpose? She's already crazy."

Even if there was any resentment, they could just kill her.

Huai Yi, who had personally experienced Xiang Nan's ruthlessness, had no doubt about it.

Merely controlling her, but not killing her, then the purpose behind it was worth pondering.

"The crazy nurse may have some things in her hands that Xiang Nan wants, or that she is eager to destroy." Huai Yi stroked his chin and continued to speculate according to this line of thought, "It may be something, or it may just be a piece of news she accidentally learned."

In short, judging from the importance Xiang Nan and Zhao Ru attached to it, the clue that the crazy nurse had was very important.

It was very likely that the crazy nurse was able to live until now entirely because of this clue.

This was her life-saving charm.
