"Xiao Yi, I'm really touched that you can say that." Jiang Cheng looked at the girl in front of him, a special emotion flashing in his eyes.

Of course, this did not escape the girl's notice.

After asking what he needed to, Jiang Cheng slowly stood up. "Xiao Yi, it's getting late, I have to go back and prepare. You should also be careful."

Seeing Jiang Cheng get up, Yuan Xiao Yi also stood up. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she immediately picked up the clothes Jiang Cheng had spread on the steps, straightened them out, and handed them back to Jiang Cheng, lowering her head embarrassedly. "Senior, your clothes are wrinkled."

"It's okay." Jiang Cheng took the clothes with a smile.

"Senior, will I see you tomorrow?" Yuan Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask, but before the words were finished, she seemed to realize the inappropriateness of her words and quickly changed her tone. "No, Senior, that's not what I meant. You will definitely be safe and sound. What I mean is..."

"Xiao Yi, you don't need to explain, I understand." Jiang Cheng said, "I'll come to you again tomorrow. Oh, and if you don't see me tomorrow, anything you say to that fatty over there is the same." Jiang Cheng pointed to the fatty standing outside the woods. "Or the person next to him." He pointed to Huai Yi and said in a firm tone, "They are all my friends."

Yuan Xiao Yi nodded. "I'll remember, Senior."

Before leaving the small woods, Jiang Cheng stood behind a tree for a while, taking the opportunity to tidy himself up.

First, he unbuttoned a few buttons on the shirt he was wearing inside, then buttoned the second button from the top into the corresponding third hole.

Then, he ruffled his hair a bit and quickly did 50 squats in place until his forehead was slightly warm. Only then did he put on his coat and walk out from behind the tree.

Seeing Jiang Cheng walk out of the small woods, everyone gathered around him.

Wen Liangshan had sharp eyes and noticed the strangeness of Jiang Cheng's appearance, as well as his slightly rapid breathing. After thinking for a moment, the way he looked at Jiang Cheng changed.

"Brother Jiang." Gao Yan asked politely, "Are there any clues?"

Jiang Cheng found a quiet place and briefly told them the information he had obtained from Yuan Xiao Yi.

As Jiang Cheng expected, Gao Yan and Shen Mengyun immediately analyzed Yuan Xiao Yi's role in this mission. She would bring them clues one after another, so they should prioritize ensuring her safety.

"Since Yuan Xiao Yi said that Xiao Ting is trapped in the medical building, and there are monster taboos inside, I'm afraid we have to make a trip tonight," Gao Yan said, looking at everyone.

If it weren't for what happened last night, Jiang Cheng would have thought this person was quite reliable.

"I agree with Mr. Gao's point of view." Shen Mengyun also stated her position.

Originally, they planned to go to the medical building in the afternoon, but they were delayed by the incident with the female teacher, who asked them to go to the Dean's office to complete the procedures and then gave them campus cards.

After all this tossing around, by the time they finished, it was almost dark.

After asking for directions to the medical building, they went to the cafeteria to settle dinner first. Shi Xiaoya didn't seem to have much of an appetite and said she wouldn't eat.

No one was in the mood to care about her, but Wang Qi stared at her with interest, wondering what he was thinking.

Everyone didn't have a good impression of this Wang Qi and didn't talk to him during the meal.

He sat alone at the next table, ordered a meatball soup and a bowl of rice, mixed them together with a spoon, and then scooped them up to eat.

Back in the dormitory, Huai Yi approached with a grin, saying, "Brother Jiang, you're really something. You got Yuan Xiao Yi wrapped around your finger so quickly."

Hearing someone praise the doctor, the fatty also became smug and chimed in with narrowed eyes, "The doctor is a professional. For others, it might be a hobby, but for the doctor, it's his bread and butter."

But to their slight surprise, Jiang Cheng was uncharacteristically serious this time, not explaining much, and the look in his eyes as he looked out the window contained something they couldn't understand.

"Doctor." The fatty rolled up from the bed, looked at the doctor's profile, and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about tonight's mission?"

After a moment, Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"Brother Jiang, we all know you have a good brain. If you really thought of something, tell us about it." Huai Yi felt uneasy and tentatively said in a low voice, "We're scared when you look like this."

"I'm wondering where that thing that followed us last night went?" Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at them. "Also, from yesterday until now, none of us have had an accident. So what is the purpose of that thing following us?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng mention the thing that left water stains, the fatty and Huai Yi's faces turned ugly. Huai Yi guessed, "Could it be that it hasn't found a chance to strike?"

"Doesn't seem like it." Jiang Cheng said, "There's been enough time, and Shen Mengyun mentioned that she felt that the thing was just constantly putting pressure on us, but didn't reveal any killing intent. I have a similar feeling."

Perhaps feeling that saying too much would cause panic, Jiang Cheng ended the topic, only telling them to be careful tonight.

Around 11 o'clock at night, everyone quietly slipped out of the dormitory again and gathered in an open space outside the dormitory building.

Tonight, they were going to the medical building, which was confirmed to be haunted, and the danger level was not comparable to yesterday.

Everyone was silent along the way, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

After walking for about 20 minutes, they finally stopped near a building. The building was quite ordinary, but strangely, not a single light was on in the entire building.

The building stood there, its dark outline blending into the night, looking like an upright coffin.

A gust of night wind blew, bringing a trace of coldness.

Wen Liangshan hugged his arms, as if he wanted to complain, but when he saw that everyone's faces were not very good, the words of complaint were never spoken.

Everyone waited until 11:55 before approaching the building.

The building used a common glass door, and the words "Jiang Tan University School of Medicine" were written on the wall above the door.

At 11:59, Shi Xiaoya stood in front of the glass door with a pale face, her hand on the dark golden handrail.

It was clear that she was afraid, not only on her face, but even her fingers were trembling.

But there was no way around it, it was just her bad luck. They decided who would push the door by drawing lots, and Shi Xiaoya drew the shortest one.

"Let's begin." Gao Yan's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of waking up something hidden in the building.

Shi Xiaoya took a deep breath. With a "creak," she exerted force on her arm, gripped the handrail tightly, and pulled it for the first time. A crisp metallic collision sound came from inside.

It didn't open, as if it was stuck.

"Creak—"

The second time.

Still didn't open.

...

Jiang Cheng stared at the time on his phone. Just as the second hand jumped from 59 to 00, with a "creak," Shi Xiaoya's shoulders twitched violently.

The door opened.
