Chapter 296: Chapter 263: Xiaoya and Ji Xiang’s Cooperation?

"Psht~"

Another sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed in the hallway.

Jiang Xiao hesitated no more, raising a hammer, ready to head out.

"Hey!" Yang Tao called out to him, hesitatingly adding, "Be careful, you can’t... get hurt."

Little Xin?

Jiang Xiao turned around abruptly, scratching his head shyly as he said,

"Goose box, I just knew it; elder sister has me in her heart. Oh my, it’s making me irresistibly bashful~"

Yang Tao: ...

Live streaming room: ?

Bro, even if we’re role-playing, shouldn’t we pick the right occasion?

"Elder sister, await good news~ Today will surely be a joyful and festive day, uh!"

Having said that, Jiang Xiao didn’t linger any longer and pushed open the door to the room.

...

Xiaoya didn’t head straight back to her own Room 9 after leaving the morgue.

Instead, she took advantage of the night to visit Ji Xiang’s room once more.

Based on what Ji Xiang and Old Sun said, Xiaoya could be certain that the other party definitely knew secrets about the morgue.

Perhaps the recent succession of scares was too much.

Venturing alone, Xiaoya felt an unusual sense of calm.

This... is perhaps what sister calls growth?

Xiaoya wasn’t rash.

She had pondered the good and bad on her way there.

Ji Xiang was just a child, after all. Even if he had become a ghoul... if I can’t beat him, I should be able to run away, right?

You could tell from Old Sun’s death.

If Ji Xiang truly had great personal strength, he could just violently kill Old Sun.

But he didn’t.

This proved his actual combat power wasn’t high.

Such low combat power, and possibly being aware of the "inside information" of the morgue, wouldn’t that make him the perfect candidate for my "interrogation"?

Nurse Xiao Qin was also a decent choice.

But...

But Xiao Qin was just too much like a "good person," so much so that Xiaoya felt it was "unrealistic."

How could such a lovable girl like Xiao Qin appear in the dangerous world of Analog Horror?

Compared to that,

Xiaoya preferred to start with the seemingly "normal" Ji Xiang.

Looking at the scalpel she just took from the operating room, Xiaoya felt even more confident in her heart.

Little brat, today you’ll see what this lady is capable of!

First, I’ll lead with my second ability "Body Control," followed by my third ability "Hypnosis," and then close in for the final move with the scalpel!

A combo of EQ Flash R, and even if Jiang God himself showed up, he’d get his head smoked by me!

Imagining the cool scene and the fluid movements, the corners of Xiaoya’s mouth curled up without her realizing it.

So cool!

"Psht~"

Hm?

What was that noise?

Xiaoya hadn’t yet reached Room 4 when she heard a "psht psht" sound.

It seemed like...

Xiaoya’s pretty face flushed red, thinking to herself that people nowadays were too bold. That sound... it seemed wild!

Wondering if the woman could handle it...

Seeing Xiaoya so naive, viewers in the Sakura live streaming room were getting anxious for her!

"Heavens! Xiaoya, you better be more alert!"

"Jiang God is too pure, and Xiaoya is too dirty, how can she even think that?"

"This is clearly the sound of stabbing with a knife, Xiaoya, why are you blushing like a boiling teapot!"

Wait...

The shy look on Xiaoya’s face slowly turned serious.

The "psht psht" she was hearing... didn’t seem quite the same as the "psht psht" in her imagination, did it?

People who kill often know.

The sound of a blade piercing flesh is more muffled and solid than that of a body penetrating another body.

Especially since.

Xiaoya also smelled the same bloody scent that she had noticed on Jiang Xiao.

Let me reiterate, it’s not the smell of fish, it’s the stench of blood, aargh!

The blush on Xiao Ya’s face faded instantly.

At the same time, she clenched the surgical knife tightly to her chest, as if only by doing so could she add some confidence to herself.

Just as she braced for the worst, the ’squelching’ noise suddenly stopped...

"Are you looking for me?"

A voice devoid of emotion... and slightly tinged with cruelty emanated from the pitch-black corridor ahead.

Was it Ji Xiang?

Xiao Ya walked along the wall, touching it as she went, trying to find the corridor light switch.

"You want to turn on the light?"

’Clack!’

The other party actually took the initiative to snap the corridor switch downward.

The sight that appeared before her made Xiao Ya’s pupils constrict instantly.

Xiao Ya’s guess was not wrong.

The person in the corridor was indeed Ji Xiang, but he looked completely different from how he did during the day.

In his hand was a surgical knife, identical to Xiao Ya’s, his expression was wicked beyond measure.

And under his knife was...

Yang Tao, with whom Xiao Ya had crossed paths a few times before.

Only...

Now she was dead beyond any doubt.

Her eyes were open wide, and blood frothed from the corners of her mouth; her entire body was chopped up beyond recognition.

Xiao Ya took a step backward...

Then thought about it and felt that retreating would show weakness.

So she bolstered her courage, took a step forward, and raised her surgical knife.

Ji Xiang showed no intention of making the first move and instead lightly hopped to sit on Yang Tao’s grotesquely bloody hospital bed.

"You little shit, I knew it was you! Not pretending anymore, huh? Got the guts to face me one-on-one, do you?"

The purple glint in Xiao Ya’s eyes flickered, as if she was about to strike the next second.

Ji Xiang glanced at Xiao Ya and then shook his head.

"I don’t want to."

"Don’t want to?" Xiao Ya was taken aback.

"You look so distinctive, yet you’re so confident. Unless you’re a fool, you must have some skills. What if I get killed in retaliation?"

What the? This rational sort of strange talk, is he not afraid to die?

The other’s choice not to attack first suddenly made Xiao Ya confused about what to do next.

"Hey, why glare at me so nervously? This black-hearted hospital has been giving you fake IV drips all this time. Don’t tell me you didn’t know?"

Ah, that...

Of course, she knew.

Xiao Ya had been receiving IV drips for two days now, feeling miserable all over, with sore bones and aching muscles, barely able to open her eyes.

Today, halfway through the drip, she could no longer bear it, hypnotized the nurse Aiai who was watching her, and pulled out the needle.

Seeing Xiao Ya’s hesitation, Ji Xiang spoke to her again.

"Heh heh heh, how about it, shall we cooperate for once?"

Cooperate with an anomaly?

This was something Xiao Ya had never considered before, and she didn’t think there was anything that she and the anomaly could work on together.

Ignoring Xiao Ya’s silence, Ji Xiang continued to coax.

"Tsk, not to mention other dangers for the moment, but just take the IV fluids for example. If you’re put on the drip again tomorrow, you’re guaranteed to die, no doubt. No one can withstand three days of this hospital’s drips, and the real danger hasn’t even arrived yet. Are you sure you can handle it alone?"

Hmph, wise beyond years!

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because we have a common goal. I want to kill everyone in Wuliang Hospital, and you need to survive, our needs don’t conflict."

Xiao Ya tightened her grip on the knife, obviously not willing to let down her guard just because of a few words from the other party.

"How about this, I’ll take you to a place, and once you’re there, you’ll understand."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Ji Xiang leaped off the bed and intended to lead Xiao Ya upstairs.

She frowned slightly and asked tentatively.

"The place you want to take me to, it wouldn’t happen to be the morgue, would it?"

Emm...

This time, it was Ji Xiang’s turn to fall silent.

Xiao Ya gritted her teeth, her gaze full of ferocity as she held up her surgical knife.

This damned bastard, no one is allowed in there after 9 pm, are you trying to set me up to be killed?
