After leaving the nursery, Feng Bujue was in a bad mood.
He had thought that after completing such a difficult side mission, he would at least get a perfect equipment or something.
In the end, he only got a plot item …
Item Name: Meal Card
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Can be purchased from the hospital's 1F cafeteria.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: This is Cedar County Public Hospital's employee card. The employee has to go to the cafeteria to recharge it.
"After completing a side mission, I got a plot item that can't be turned into a puzzle card. In other words … this thing has to be a necessary item to complete another side mission." Feng Bujue held the meal card in his hand. "I've paid such a heavy price to complete the mission and get this card, so I can't just leave it like that … Therefore, I have to do another side mission related to this item …"
He pocketed the meal card and sighed. "Sigh … This scenario looks like I can do nothing, but there are so many things that I can't finish …"
"Hehehe …" The laughter that had appeared once before rang out again, as if it was guiding the players forward.
"Room 125, huh?" Brother Bujue followed the sound and came to the door of a pediatric sickroom. He glanced at the door number and reached out to open it.
The door was not locked, and it opened with a twist of the doorknob.
For a few seconds, Feng Bujue was quite unsettled. He was afraid that the system would say 'The door is locked' again, and he would have to find another key somewhere else.
"Hehe … Uncle, you're here." The little girl sat on the bed in the corner of the room. Her face was still covered by her long hair, and the red dress that she was wearing stood out in the shadows.
"Ah … yes," Feng Bujue said. "As promised, I'm here to help you comb your hair."
The little girl slowly got up and stood up. She walked half a circle around the bed and walked to the bedside table. She reached out to open the drawer and took out a large mirror with a stand.
Her movements were very slow, and her every movement revealed a strange aura. This made people more and more concerned … about what her face looked like.
After setting up the mirror, the little girl moved a stool to sit down. Her face was facing the mirror, and behind the hair that covered her forehead, an ethereal voice said, "I want to comb my hair into a ponytail."
"Oh … Okay." Feng Bujue took out the comb from his pocket. "Your hair is so long … Is it a double ponytail?"
"Okay." For some reason, the little girl's tone turned cold.
If this was a horror movie, then the atmosphere at this moment had undoubtedly reached a critical point. This meant that … a shocking situation was about to happen …
At this point, anyone could guess that something bad would happen when he brushed away the hair on the little girl's forehead.
Naturally, Feng Bujue knew that as well, but he did not mind it. After all, his Terror Points would not change, and that was what it meant to be fearless.
Brother Jue strode to the little girl's back and placed both of his hands on the girl's forehead. When his fingers reached into the girl's hair, a chill seeped through his fingertips.
Feng Bujue did not hesitate and moved the hair away from the girl's forehead.
In the next second, he saw an extremely terrifying face in the mirror.
The little girl looked humanoid, but the skin on her face was made of something that looked like scales. There were eight eyes on her face, and they were arranged in two rows. She had no nose, and her lips were lipless, baring two rows of fangs.
Since there was no light in the room, Feng Bujue placed the flashlight on the bedside table and shone it diagonally at the little girl. This kind of light from the bottom up would be scary even if it shone on a human face, much less on a monster's face.
However, Feng Bujue was as calm as ever. He continued to comb the girl's hair like it was nothing.
"Uncle, do you like to listen to stories?" At this moment, the little girl suddenly asked.
"I do..." Feng Bujue answered calmly, but in his heart, he was thinking, "Another side mission? Or... More information about the plot? "
"Then how about I tell you a story?" The little girl continued to ask.
"Go ahead..." Feng Bujue said, "I'm very slow at combing my hair."
His so-called "very slow" could actually be interpreted as "I don't know how to"...
Obviously, a man who couldn't even tie his shoelaces when he was young would not know how to comb hair. In fact, when the girl said "I want to comb my hair into a ponytail", Feng Bujue's mind was completely blank. His answer of "double ponytails" was purely a way to stall for time...
"A long, long time ago, this place was not a hospital..." The little girl began to tell her story.
"Hey hey... Once you start talking, it's super bad..." Feng Bujue only heard half of the sentence and complained in his heart, "Don't tell me you're saying that this place used to be a graveyard..."
"... It used to be a cemetery." The second half of the little girl's sentence confirmed his guess.
"Is it that cliché..." Feng Bujue said.
"It is said that this is a cursed land." The little girl continued, "Any soul that is buried here will never be able to rest in peace. And those who wander here for a long time will also encounter misfortune... "
"Hey... Is it okay to build a hospital here?" Feng Bujue asked in shock.
"One day, a greedy man came here..." The little girl continued, "He embezzled the county government's funds and forcibly expropriated this cheap cursed land... He built a hospital here."
"Oh... I seem to understand a lot of things all of a sudden..." Feng Bujue responded.
"It took a long time for the hospital to be completed. During the construction process, there were many accidents and injuries. Even the construction team was changed several times, but the greedy man did not care and insisted on carrying out his plan." The little girl continued, "Finally, the hospital was completed. This cursed land became a cursed hospital. Every day... many people would step into this forbidden land that they should never have set foot in... "She paused for a moment." Some of them could leave, some... could not. Even for those who left this place... the shadow of misfortune would follow them for a long time. It was as if there was an invisible force that led them back to this place... "
The little girl's ethereal voice was getting louder and louder as she spoke, and her tone... was gradually filled with anger and resentment.
