NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17.1
Yu Qing’s intuition had always been very keen.
Breathing quickened, steps slowed, and his heartbeat gradually became restless.
Finally, when he was halfway down the corridor, his legs stopped quietly. He turned around and saw in the hall, apart from the little nurse on duty at the front desk, there was only… a life-size stone statue.
It was an angel statue, standing on a high platform of about three meters under its feet, surrounded by a circle of realistic, furry animal statues, imitating the twelve zodiac signs, but – had these statues been placed like this just now?
He remembered when he came down for the first time, the eyes of the angel statue and the twelve zodiac signs were aimed at the door. Why now… were they all looking at him?
Moreover, the eyes of the angel statue were not the color of plaster, they were dark, like… human eyes!
Thinking of this, Yu Qing suddenly felt dizzy, and then there was a crackling sound in his ears. The surrounding environment became darker and darker. In his sight, the life-size angel statue cracked one after another, and the plaster wrapped in thick blood fell to the ground.
A woman with no skin underneath and covered in blood was exposed.
The woman’s mouth was wide open, her black eyes were locked on him, and she kept getting closer to him, closer to him, closer to him!
Soon, it stopped in front of him. The rotten hands of flesh and blood grabbed his neck, making a clear “snap” sound.
Yu Qing seemed to be frozen in place, with no time to escape. He was lifted up. His handsome face gradually turned blue, and he stared suffocatingly at the bloody face in front of him that kept approaching.
Not long after, the woman opened her bloody mouth and “clicked”, biting off his head!
.
Tick-tock – a drop of blood fell on the ground. Yu Qing finally woke up. He shook his head and realized that it was an illusion!
He was experiencing hallucinations.
The drops of blood on the ground were actually his own cold sweat.
His legs were a little weak.
Yu Qing took a step back, and after a long while, he relaxed his breathing and managed to stand still.
He held his trembling hands and took several deep breaths before raising his head again and looking at the strange angel statue.
Angel Mental Sanatorium was named after the blessed angel statue. This statue… no, not just this statue, the eyes of the animals surrounding the angel statue were also dark, not round animal eyes, but…
Yu Qing stepped forward and tentatively approached the eerie statue. Little by little, he carefully scanned the twelve zodiac signs of different shapes and found there was no rabbit.
Rabbit… where did it go?
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
Suddenly, a startling scream came from the end of the corridor, and then, boom – thunder suddenly started, lightning flashed across, and the beautiful nurse who was sitting at the front desk and was responsible for giving out the bells, actually turned into a skeleton.
[Ah ah ah ah ah! Mom, I’m afraid, the newbie dungeon wasn’t so difficult in the past, right?]
[Yes, in the previous dungeons, nurses would only turn into skeletons at night, not during the day like today…]
[I really thought the host was eaten, damn, ahhhh, I was scared to death]
[Last time no one was staring at the statue when passing through. The host had been staring at it for a long time. Did he activate some hidden gameplay?]
Sure enough, as soon as the comment started, the system immediately announced: [Congratulations to the host Yu Qing for discovering the important clue “The Secret of the Angel Statue”, the plot exploration rate is 11%]
[The angel’s murderous intention has increased, and the difficulty of the dungeon has been upgraded.]
[Current difficulty level: Level 3 (full level 10)]
[Host please keep up the good work~]
The dungeon… had been upgraded?
In the comment area, the noisy live broadcast room paused for a moment, and then –
[Hahahahaha, my wife is so awesome, he raised the difficulty of the dungeon by two levels just by looking at the statue! I love it!]
[Level 3 is good, but the mortality rate at level 3 is high. Everyone’s mortality rate has increased! Hahahaha, he really did it, I laughed to death!]
Other hosts: OДO
Yu Qing: “…”
The level… was it so easy to change?!
No wonder they said they were playing with life and death; the game was so irresponsible!
Taking a deep breath, the boy ignored the live broadcast of howling ghosts and wolves, turned around decisively, and ran quickly in the direction of the screams.
.
He saw, at the corner of the corridor, countless blood-stained rattan sticks protruding from the wall, each clearly pointed at the young man in a Tang clothes who was tearing the talisman paper.
These canes were like whips, dancing and spasming. After a while, they slapped on the young man’s back, and his flesh and blood were all bloody in an instant.
Tasting the blood, the whip became more and more excited, and it was about to use it for the second time. Suddenly, the man opened his mouth, “Well…”
Yu Qing stood on tiptoes and decisively covered his mouth.
The pupils of his watery, almond-shaped eyes were dilated, and he was searching around at a very fast speed. After a while, he stared at the notice board not far away, and reminded in a low voice: “Shhh – don’t make too much noise.”
The young man in the Tang clothes had his mouth tightly covered, but soon he also saw the sign on the wall [Nursing home patients need to be quiet, no loud noises allowed].
He nodded hurriedly, took away Yu Qing’s hand, and even slowed down his breathing.
