Chapter 293: Chapter 260: Give Me the Hammer

"Click, click, click..."

This is...

As the morgue drawer slid open.

The second body was fully revealed before everyone’s eyes.

Upon seeing the face of the corpse, Xiaoya felt her blood was about to freeze.

Nurse Xiaoqin?!

Although the face was shriveled and turned green, Xiaoya was certain she wasn’t mistaken; this was the only little nurse from Wuliang Hospital!

Her hands trembling, Xiaoya picked up the nametag on Xiaoqin’s chest...

Name: Wang Xiaoqin

Gender: Female

Date of Birth: November 15, 2004

Uh...

Who would’ve thought Xiaoqin was from the post-millennial generation?

It must be right.

The name corresponded as well.

Could it be a clone?

Xiaoya’s initial reaction was that this sinister hospital was conducting human experiments behind the scenes.

Similar to the umbrella company in "Resident Evil," cloning so many Alices.

Perhaps because she had been frightened to the extreme, Xiaoya now felt fearless, consumed with the thought of seeing who else was in the other morgue drawers.

As one morgue drawer after another was opened.

The bodies within slowly all came into view.

That’s right.

Just as Xiaoya had suspected.

All these bodies were those of the hospital’s doctors, nurses, and even security guards, and the body of the hospital director was among them.

"Ah!"

Despite having braced herself, Xiaoya suddenly fell to her knees when she saw one female corpse.

"Sister! Sister!"

How could her sister be here?

Hm?

Something’s wrong?

As a sister who had grown up with Naiko, sharing every day together, Xiaoya spotted the clue faster than Jiang Xiao.

Although this woman’s face resembled her own sister’s, upon closer inspection, there were differences, most notably the lower cheekbones.

Gently pulling away the shroud covering the woman, Xiaoya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Naiko had a prominent mole on her collarbone, a beauty mark that Xiaoya had long envied, but this female corpse didn’t have one.

"How strange..."

Xiaoya checked the woman’s nametag on her chest.

Name: Zhao Rou

Gender: Female

Date of Birth: November 15, 1987

Besides Zhao Rou’s body, there were two male and one female corpses that Xiaoya had not seen before in the hospital.

A grotesque, ugly bald man.

An apparently gentle and refined middle-aged man.

And the last one, a knowledgeable and sensible middle-aged woman.

A little thought.

The bald man was probably a hospital staff member she hadn’t encountered temporarily, like a canteen chef or a janitor or something.

That man and woman were likely the couple from Ward 2, Ji Xiang’s parents.

Emm...

Aside from Old Sun, all other bodies were singular.

This didn’t seem like cloning...

If it were cloning, it would surely make more sense to have more duplicates.

Perhaps?

These people had actually been dead for a long time.

And all of Wuliang Hospital now was eerie?

No, that’s not right.

Even if these people weren’t dead, it was still eerie...

So what was the meaning of these bodies?

Xiaoya started to sort through the information she had received.

Eh?

Ji Xiang?

Ji Xiang said one thing to Old Sun.

"Can I really survive this time? Or should I say, can you... really survive?"

It seemed somewhat off before.

But now, considering the bodies in the morgue... it suddenly gave a chilling sensation.

"This time"

Doesn’t that mean Ji Xiang died more than once?

Could Ji Xiang have known about the bodies in the morgue?

Knew that they had already died once?

But that’s not right either...

What was the sudden suicide of Old Sun and the words he said before he died?

"Tap... Tap... Tap..."

While Xiao Ya was having a brainstorm,

there were unexpected sounds of footsteps in the hallway.

Crap!

Someone is coming!

I’m doomed!

Xiao Ya had just pulled all these drawers out, and now there was no time to push them all back in.

Out of sheer desperation, she had no choice but to lie down in Xiao Qin’s drawer, motionless.

Surely my luck can’t be that bad, right?

Who would come to the morgue at this hour?

The real culprit behind the scenes?

Or something more sinister?

"Don’t worry, Xiao Ya, don’t be scared, there’s only one person, your talent... is unbeatable in one-on-one!"

Xiao Ya tried to encourage herself with a trembling voice, but her hands couldn’t stop shaking uncontrollably.

"Tap~"

The footsteps finally stopped at the door of the morgue.

Xiao Ya’s heart sank to the bottom.

They were indeed coming for her, weren’t they? A bloody showdown seemed inevitable...

"What an idiot Qin Shou is! Sending a little girl like me to check the morgue? Does that seem appropriate to him? If he dares let me check the morgue today, he’ll dare make me sleep in it tomorrow! Disgusting!"

Huh?

The person coming is Xiao Qin?

Xiao Ya’s heart lightened up, thankfully, she had a relatively good impression of this little nurse, so it should be manageable.

What should I say to explain the situation later?

Just passing by?

Uh...

That excuse seemed a bit far-fetched, and even if it was just passing by, how to explain lying in the drawer?

Coming in for a cool down?

Say it was too hot in the ward, so just cooling off in the morgue?

That seemed reasonable...bullshit!

Forget it, just hypnotize her!

"Heh heh heh!" A few weird laughs came from outside the door, "I’m not really checking, I’m going straight to the duty room to sleep. Why should I give my life for a mere dozen or so Gold Coins a month?!"

Yikes!

Xiao Ya was ecstatic inside!

Just as expected from the dedicated Sister Xiao Qin, well done!

"Huh? How come the main door is open? Oh no, I forgot to lock it after bringing Old Sun inside! I need to lock it quickly!"

The ecstatic look on Xiao Ya’s face instantly stiffened.

Lock it?

What the morgue turned into after nine o’clock was something Xiao Ya didn’t even dare to imagine.

Just as Xiao Ya was about to rush out, Xiao Qin outside started talking again astonishingly.

"Ah! I forgot the keys, I’ll have to go downstairs to get them. So annoying! Another trip down!"

"Tap tap tap..."

This time the fading footsteps sounded more urgent.

It seemed that the little nurse had walked up so slowly earlier because she was reluctant to come and check the rooms.

This is my chance, I’ve got to get out of here!

...

"Jiang Xiao, do... do you really have to drag me into this?"

Yang Tao’s face looked awful, close to crying.

Jiang Xiao was replying to Yang Tao while rummaging through the operating room looking for something.

"Uh, isn’t it you who said the dean is definitely not right?"

Yang Tao: |๑็ڡ๊็)

"But after all, he is the dean. If something goes wrong, it might not be something that money can solve..."

"Don’t panic, don’t panic, um... found it!" Jiang Xiao excitedly found a medical hammer in the cupboard, "Although it’s a bit small, it’ll do."

"What’s that for?" Yang Tao was baffled, what use is that mini hammer?

Jiang Xiao: ୧(๑•̌〜•̑)

"Don’t worry, I’m well-versed in this line of work. People always say I’m naive, but I’m not naive at all, most of the time I’m as clever as they come, very good at scheming."

After speaking, Jiang Xiao gestured an ’ojbk’ sign at Yang Tao, indicating he had a plan.

"Uh, schemes? Do you mean you’ve found the dean’s weakness? Or are you planning to kill him with money?"

Yang Tao was somewhat nervous, you can scheme all you want, but why talk in a Trump accent?

Jiang Xiao: (๑‾᷄ݓ‾᷅๑) Hehehe~

"Getting the dean is actually quite simple, I’ve got a hammer now, and as long as the kid is dead asleep, I’ll creep over at night, hehehe..."
