Chapter 261: Chapter 239: Flying Over the Madhouse (Part 8)

Leaving the stairwell, Li Cheng quickly walked towards the nurse’s rest room on the far left of the third floor.

The rest room door was locked, but the lock was of the lowest protective level C. Li Cheng crouched down, using a scalpel to jiggle the lock, trying to pry it open.

Before he even started properly picking the lock, the door of the rest room automatically opened from the inside and a blue nitrile glove grabbed Li Cheng’s shoulder, yanking him inside.

"Little brother William has arrived."

"William, you’re here?"

"Is that William?"

A chorus of over a dozen women’s voices echoed as Li Cheng looked up to see numerous... garments floating throughout the room.

The neckline of the white nurse uniforms was half-open, stretched round and full, while the slender waistlines and tight-fitting miniskirts together outlined perfect body curves. The taut thigh-high stockings were disconnected from the skirts, leaving a gap that added a hint of allure.

But, but,

Beneath every piece of clothing, it was all transparent; not a single person could be seen.

After a brief moment of shock, Li Cheng’s spirit of snark ignited fiercely within, screaming internally: "Is this really an upstanding hospital?

The killing field finally threw us a bone with some perks, so why not go all the way? Could it be because William is a minor and needs special protection for minors? Green Dam has been dead for several years, hello?"

The transparent nurses in the rest room seemed to have quite a good relationship with William, and were also accustomed to his presence there, with one gloved hand after another rubbing Li Cheng’s face, patting his head, and poking his pectorals.

It’s not incomprehensible though, since William himself is quite handsome, resembling a pre-fattened Leo, and judging from his conversations with other NPCs, he’s pretty popular in the hospital as well.

"Um, sisters,"

Li Cheng politely asked without looking away, "Do you have a makeup pencil? Could I borrow one temporarily?"

"Sure,"

The most voluptuously shaped transparent nurse pulled out a makeup pencil from a drawer, struggled to stuff it in her cleavage, then leaned close to Li Cheng’s ear, her voice slightly husky as she breathed out, "You come and get it."

...Although I’ve already said it, I still have to ask again, is this an actual hospital?!

Where’s the morality?

Where’s the bottom line?

Where’s the address?

Just as Li Cheng swallowed hard and reached out to pull the makeup pencil, the wooden door of the small room in the rest room was violently pushed open,

A sturdy and trim middle-aged woman wearing a nurse’s uniform, nearly one meter ninety in height, stepped in.

Unlike the other nurses, she had a visible appearance, with a dignified expression and icy eyes, the very Nurse Rachid from the staff photos.

"The head nurse is here!"

All the transparent nurses scattered like frightened birds, crashing into the walls and disappearing as if through them.

"Er... good evening?"

Holding the makeup pencil, Li Cheng tentatively greeted Rachid.

The head nurse gave Li Cheng an indifferent glance and reached behind to pull out an enormous syringe taller than herself, filled with a sinister looking purple liquid.

Her tone calm, she said, "William, you’re running around again, it’s time for your shot."

Hey, such a huge syringe, where are you pulling that from, some four-dimensional space?!

"I think, maybe, there’s no need for that."

Li Cheng said stiffly, his fingers quietly gripping the scalpel blade.

Weight equals volume multiplied by density; judging by the cylindrical volume and the liquid’s density, that syringe could weigh a ton, heavier than Gray Rain.

But maybe she’s just a paper tiger...

Clang!

With a casual swing of her syringe, the head nurse smashed in the metal cabinet beside her, its force comparable to a siege hammer.

Li Cheng glanced at the blade in his hand, not even as long as a thumb, and chuckled to himself, "Excuse me."

He immediately picked up a makeup pencil, stomped on the ground, and darted out of the nurse’s break room, heading towards the center of the building.

Boom!

The moment he fled, the head nurse Rachid hurled the syringe toward the doorway with such force that its sharp needle plunged into the steel-reinforced concrete of the corridor wall.

Had Li Cheng been a step slower, he would have been pinned to the corridor wall on the spot.

Tap tap tap.

The head nurse walked out of the break room at a measured pace, effortlessly pulled out the syringe, and quickened her stride in pursuit of Li Cheng, her presence and oppressive aura at maximum.

Dalton, who was on the stairway between the third and fourth floors, heard the heavy footsteps, poked his head out curiously.

Seeing it was the head nurse, he hurriedly dove back into the cardboard box, completely ignoring Li Cheng’s cries for help.

"Damn, you little traitor."

Li Cheng cursed inwardly as the head nurse rapidly gained on him and was about to draw his blade to fight for his life,

But just as he turned the corner, a door on the left side of the corridor, which was initially closed, swung open abruptly.

A hand reached out from behind the door and waved at Li Cheng, gesturing for him to hide inside.

This door was located in the same position as the solitary confinement room on the first floor.

Without time to think, Li Cheng rushed into the room, closed the door, and while observing the room, he opened the player panel’s Backpack tab, ready to use the Emergency Escape Card at any moment.

The expected series of traps did not appear; the room was identical to the solitary confinement on the first floor, with soft, soundproofing material padding on the walls and floor.

There were no windows, only strips of light embedded in the ceiling for illumination.

The room’s other "person" was an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl, her whole body resembling Lego bricks, broken into 20-centimeter cubes,

The cubes were jumbled and piled disorderly, yet she could still breathe and blink normally.

"Freya?"

Li Cheng called out the name on the hospital gown of the little girl, who simply blinked silently and puckered her mouth, signaling Li Cheng to keep quiet.

Outside the solitary confinement, the head nurse’s heavy footsteps passed by slowly, failing to detect Li Cheng’s hiding spot.

Only when the footsteps faded away did Li Cheng turn to look at Freya.

Her original bed was in the children’s clinic on the second floor, and the rabbit-eared toy he had given to the old woman with a sheep’s head belonged to her.

According to the rat-man Scaven, Freya apparently had a fondness for William.

"How did you end up here?"

Li Cheng asked casually, to which she opened her mouth and, unable to produce any sound due to the improperly placed vocal tract, she hopped on one leg (the other protruding from behind her back) to the corner of the room and lifted the sleeping mat.

Underneath the mat were scattered fragments of X-ray films.

"So you are like this because the X-ray film is broken? Do you need my help?"

Li Cheng immediately grasped the situation and, seeing no objection from Freya, started picking up the fragments to rearrange them.

As the pieces moved, Freya’s body parts also spun and shifted accordingly.

The process resembled a puzzle, which Li Cheng often did to train his mind; he would activate the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method and the Immersion Acting Method,

Doing sudoku with his left eye and right hand, playing puzzles with his right eye and left hand, solving the Magic Cube with his left foot, and playing the piano with his right foot.

After obtaining the Assembly Puppet, he intensified his efforts, randomly attaching mechanical arms and hands to himself and forming a one-man symphony orchestra to play music.

A few minutes later, the X-ray film was reassembled into the bone structure of a little girl and Freya was back to normal.
