NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29
The clear and warm eyes reflected the shadow of the boy.
After staring for a long time, the eyes were full of emotions, as if they could turn into water.
Swish-swish-swish—
Finally, the man lowered his eyes, and his bony hands quickly rolled across the sketch paper in front of him. After a while, a gorgeous portrait sketch jumped onto the paper, and it was Yu Qing’s face!
The silver-rimmed glasses reflected the bright incandescent lights around, and the man’s lips curled slightly. He admired silently for a while, and finally put pen to paper and wrote three words next to the sketch.
—Yu Meiren (美人 – měi-rén: Beauty).
.
In the dungeon, Yu Qing shuddered without warning.
When he walked into the elevator, he turned his head and looked at the two people who rushed back onto the ninth floor in the last 20 seconds, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Xu Han’s hunting target had changed.
Continuous yawns came from the side of his ear. Yu Qing knew that Qian Lai was lazy and probably a rich second-generation.
Usually, he would wear sunglasses when walking casually. Taking advantage of his height, he would put half of his arm on Yu Qing’s shoulder to lean on.
Therefore, seeing the young man mumbling and reaching out his arm again, Yu Qing was not surprised. He simply said nothing and began to connect to Qian Lai’s system to sort out the clues just found, but…
This time, the arm was already 3 cm away from his shoulder, it was taking a bit long… not pressed down yet?
The hand that was sorting out the clues paused, and the young man slowly turned his head, just in time to see Qian Lai touch his nose, calmly retract his hand, and even deliberately… distance himself from him.
Yu Qing: “?”
He tentatively looked back, thinking that there was something scary hidden in the elevator, but… looking around, there was nothing.
Only Qian Lai was retreating in embarrassment. When he saw him approaching, he immediately shouted in alarm, “I… I don’t like men!”
“Huh?”
Yu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and soon understood, so he turned around and stepped closer decisively: “You… saw my hobby bar?”
Just now, the two were close to each other, and the system was connected, so it was not surprising that Qian Lai saw his identity information.
Seeing the man approaching step by step, Qian Lai retreated to the back of the elevator, his hands trembling slightly, holding the handrail with all his life, like a scumbag who was going to get slaughter and trying to appeal: “Well, I lean on you because I’m lazy, don’t… don’t misunderstand…”
Finally, Yu Qing stopped in front of him.
Qian Lai lowered his head and looked at him thinking seriously. He thought he really had caused trouble, so he immediately spoke up. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the other party say, “I don’t like you either.”
Qian Lai breathed a sigh of relief and heard another sentence, “I have a husband.”
“!!!” Qian Lai’s pupils dilated, “You have… You have…”
Ignoring the young man who was stuck behind him, Yu Qing turned around and continued to sort out the information: “The dungeon BOSS is my husband, I will definitely be able to get out.”
“Hiss…”
Was it an illusion?
Yu Qing shuddered. Why did the air around him feel… colder after he finished speaking?
After sorting out the whole information, as soon as he returned to the ward, Yu Qing asked the ghost sister to help him guard the door, and at the same time, he sorted out the things summarized in these diaries—
This was a black-hearted nursing home.
These patients were all sacrifices chosen by angels.
After being chosen, they had to sit in the cafeteria first and be forced to eat human flesh.
Yes, the old cafeteria lady would tell them that this was human flesh, and then force them to eat it bite by bite. She would then turn off the lights in the cafeteria when they were not paying attention and create some strange movements around them, such as “Don’t eat me” and “Give me back my life.”
When they were scared to the point of being unconscious, foaming at the mouth, or fainting, they would be carried back to the ward again.
The next day, they would experience the same thing again.
After a month of repeated torture, they would be taken to a small room on the ninth floor by the dean, where they would be subjected to various electric shocks and brainwashing every day until they were grateful to the dean as a savior.
During this process, the dean would force them to write diaries, through which he could observe their detailed psychological changes.
From “I am a human,” to “I am an animal,” in the end, they would be trained to become animals in the twelve zodiac signs, just like Xu Tang.
She always thought that she was a rabbit!
After the brainwashing process was completed, the last step could be started—skinning.
After they were fully domesticated, they would be pushed into the operating room, their skin would be completely peeled off, and then animal hair would be replanted in their bodies. As quiet animals, they would surround the angel statue and welcome new patients who entered the nursing home with hope.
And the worst thing was that during this whole process, they could not shout, ask for help, or even make a sound.
Because the nursing home required silence, once a sound was made, the doctor would beat them with a whip or belt!
This could also explain why those female ghosts were afraid of the doctor’s belt even though they were capable of killing him.
It was a kind of inertial oppression engraved into the bone marrow, which could not be broken, let alone escaped.
Of course, not every sacrifice was qualified. For example, rabbits were small, so little girls had to serve as them.
Unqualified “animals” might be lucky enough to keep their skin intact, but they would be thrown into the morgue, tied to the bed, and used for other purposes.
What were they used for?
These diaries didn’t say, but Yu Qing thought that they could probably be used as ingredients for the cafeteria. Moreover, when he was sorting out the data, he always used the word “they.”
Because these “sacrifices” were all women, including Xu Han’s daughter, who was also deceived by the dean and trained as a “rabbit” as a member of the sacrifice.
But no matter what, this evil and cruel sacrifice had never used a male!
No male was used, so… why did Xu Han’s body appear in the morgue?
What was this only male doing there?
The clues were stuck, and Yu Qing suddenly felt a little regretful—he shouldn’t have given the clothes away, so Xu Han would chase him and take revenge on him, which would allow him to get close to Xu Han and find more of the truth.
How to find Xu Han?
Ding ling ling— Finally, the bell on his wrist attracted attention.
Yu Qing slowly lowered his head, thought for a while, took off the bell, and looked up at Qian Lai who was drawing talismans for the female ghosts.
“Can you draw the talisman to exorcise ghosts? The kind that can cause disability but not death?”
Qian Lai: “?”
“What?!”
Just when he didn’t understand, he suddenly heard “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
