“Others?” The nurse frowned, looking at the IV drip above the patient’s head, momentarily confused.

Jiang Cheng didn’t give her time to react, coaxing and persuading her out of the room.

Then he closed the door.

When he turned back around, Jiang Cheng’s expression had changed.

He strode towards Li Kaifeng, and the others noticed something was wrong. Wang Changguo tossed his cigarette on the ground and followed, not even bothering to stomp it out.

Li Kaifeng lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, perfectly still.

Jiang Cheng looked at the IV drip connected to the back of Li Kaifeng’s hand. The medicine in the transparent tube dripped at an abnormally slow rate, almost seven or eight seconds between each drop.

It felt like something was resisting the medicine from entering her bloodstream.

He reached out and placed his hand on Li Kaifeng’s neck. After a few seconds, he slowly pulled it back, his gaze towards Li Kaifeng changing.

Just as he thought...

Dead.

Weiwei, who was closest, reached out a trembling hand to check Li Kaifeng’s breath, then stumbled back several steps.

Her face was filled with unspeakable horror.

“How… how could this be?” Weiwei said in a lost voice. “Half an hour ago, she was still…”

“The nurse who came was suspicious,” Lin Wan’er said.

Now it was obvious. Someone had impersonated a nurse and injected an unknown substance into the sick Li Kaifeng.

After that, this medicine took Li Kaifeng’s life.

“When did that nurse come?” Jiang Cheng asked, staring at Wang Changguo.

“About… about half an hour ago.” Wang Changguo was clearly flustered. He had been leisurely smoking when the nurse arrived.

Who would have thought she was here to take a life!

Jiang Cheng calculated. Half an hour ago would have been shortly after he and Huai Yi left. The nurse had struck while they were short on people.

“What did the nurse look like?” Jiang Cheng asked again. “If you saw her again, would you recognize her?”

Wang Changguo swallowed hard at his words, then looked at Weiwei. “I only remember she was wearing a mask. I was standing far away. Ask her.”

Weiwei had just recovered from the fear of seeing a dead body. “I don’t know.” She shook her head. “The nurse was wearing a thick mask and a boat-shaped white hat, covering most of her face, and… and I was focused on Li Kaifeng. I… I didn’t expect…”

Jiang Cheng understood. She meant she never expected the nurse to be a problem.

Now, Li Kaifeng was dead.

Right in front of them.

And the two witnesses couldn’t even tell if the person was male or female.

Compared to Li Kaifeng’s death, Jiang Cheng was more concerned about the identity of the killer, or rather, whether the killer was a person or a ghost.

It would be easier if it were a ghost.

But if it was a person… then things would be complicated.

That would mean that besides Director Qi, who was determined to get rid of the ghost, there was another force in the hospital helping the ghost.

This force knew that they were here to help Director Qi, so they were trying to kill them.

The immediate priority was to figure out what exactly happened in the hospital back then.

And the ghost’s identity.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Cheng said to Weiwei, who was still staring at Li Kaifeng. “We can’t wait any longer. Let’s go out and look for clues.”

Du Feng’s throat bobbed unconsciously. He looked away, then looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, “What about her?”

He was referring to Li Kaifeng’s body.

Originally, Jiang Cheng wanted to say to ignore it, since the body might disappear before they returned, but that would easily reveal that he wasn’t a newbie.

Fortunately, Huai Yi and the others returned at this time.

Everyone’s expression turned grim after seeing the scene when they pushed open the door.

After asking, it turned out that Huai Yi and the others had also encountered the female nurse with the tray. The meticulous Yu Yu happened to see the room number taped on the tray with white tape as she passed by.

After stopping the nurse and briefly talking to her, Huai Yi also realized something was wrong and rushed back.

After thinking it over, Huai Yi made the same judgment as Jiang Cheng. He told everyone to split up and look for opportunities to gather information while exploring the hospital.

Looking out the window, the sky was gloomy, and it looked like it would rain soon.

“Now it seems that Director Qi may be problematic. Don’t trust his words.” Huai Yi looked at Jiang Cheng. “Mr. Jiang, I want to go outside to gather information. It might be dangerous, you…”

“I’m not going.” Jiang Cheng refused very decisively at first, then put on a weak, pitiful, and helpless look. “I’m scared. I have a wife and children at home, I…”

“I’ll go with you.” Cao Yang volunteered.

Looking at Cao Yang’s physique, Huai Yi nodded. “Then it’s settled. Cao Yang and I will go to the nearby restaurants and supermarkets to gather information. You guys stay in the hospital to look for clues.”

Standing where they were, they could see a row of bungalows not far from the hospital building through the window.

The bungalows were relatively simple, and many of the signs on them were painted directly with paint, with very outdated names.

Xikelai Restaurant, Gala Grocery Store, and such.

Then Huai Yi looked at the clock on the wall. “We’ll meet back here in two hours.”

“Okay.”

“What about her?” Yu Yu said with some worry. “Are we just leaving her here?”

A dead body was no small matter. If the hospital found out, it would likely cause big trouble.

But Huai Yi’s reaction was surprisingly calm. He first covered Li Kaifeng’s body with a blanket, then, with Jiang Cheng’s help, placed the body in the closet on the side.

That way, it wouldn’t be visible without opening the closet.

Then Huai Yi explained that this world was different from the real world, and the body would soon disappear if left here.

“Don’t ask me why.” Huai Yi sighed, looking at everyone with a helpless expression. “Because I can’t answer even if you ask. I only know the result.”

After separating, Huai Yi left the hospital building with Cao Yang, planning to ask around nearby before it rained. These businesses that had been operating for a long time should know some things.

As he and the others went upstairs to the fourth floor, Jiang Cheng saw a familiar figure in the distance.

In a small room separated by a glass door.

It was the nurse from before.

The words “Nurse Station” were posted on the nearby wall.

“Go walk around nearby, but don’t go to places that are too remote. Meet back here in an hour.” After Jiang Cheng instructed them, he trotted off to find the nurse.

“Mr. Jiang, was he… always like this?” Yu Yu asked quietly.

Having just arrived in this world and recently having a teammate die strangely, Yu Yu couldn’t understand how Jiang Cheng could still be so enthusiastic.

“Knock.”

“Knock knock.”

Jiang Cheng knocked on the glass door twice.

The nurse, who had been rubbing her shoulders with her back to Jiang Cheng, turned around after hearing the sound and saw Jiang Cheng’s face plastered against the glass.
