Chapter 224 The cycle begins (please subscribe, please vote)
"This is all your fault!" The dean angrily accused Dr. Kate, "If you hadn't been so eager for quick success and kept pushing the experiment forward, things wouldn't have gotten to this point where they're out of control!"

Doctor Kate sneered, his eyes revealing an almost crazy persistence: "I am just pursuing the truth of science and trying to solve the mystery of these abnormal phenomena. And you? Didn't you also join this experiment and want to get a piece of the pie? Now that the experiment has gone wrong, you turn around and blame me. Isn't it too late?"

The dispute between the two gradually escalated from an initial verbal quarrel to a final pushing and shoving, and then to a fierce physical conflict.

Dr. Kate's mutated body possessed extraordinary strength and speed. He quickly gained the upper hand in the fight and pinned the dean to the ground.

After the fight, the dean fell to the ground, gasping for breath, staring coldly at the complacent Dr. Kate.

He didn't say a word, but silently wrote a few words in the air with his fingers.

Then, his body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared, leaving Dr. Kate standing there in shock.

When the dean disappears, Dr. Kate soon finds herself in a strange dilemma.

Whenever he tried to leave St. Freya's Hospital, he would suddenly feel a strong dizziness and weakness the moment he stepped out of the hospital gate.

This feeling was like being pulled by an invisible force that he could not resist.

He then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

When Dr. Kate regained consciousness, he always found himself back inside the hospital.

This hospital has become an inescapable cage, trapping him tightly inside.

This situation made Dr. Kate feel deeply desperate.

He realized that this was a rule that the dean had carefully set before he disappeared, trapping him firmly in this hospital.

Dr. Kate has tried various methods to break this rule, whether it is looking for loopholes in the rule or trying to break through it with brute force, but all failed.

This rule seems to have been integrated into every brick and tile of the hospital, becoming an indestructible barrier.

As time went by, Dr. Kate's mentality gradually changed.

He began to be eroded by despair and helplessness, and his once firm beliefs and reason were slowly collapsing.

He realized that he could no longer escape from this cursed hospital, and this restraint and helplessness gradually pushed him to the brink of madness.

His behavior began to become more and more strange and extreme. He often ran wildly in the hospital corridors, shouting the dean's name, trying to find a way to break the rules.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the shackles of this cage.

In this state of despair and helplessness, Dr. Kate made an extreme decision.

He decided to use the drugs he had developed previously to mutate all the remaining nurses and patients in the hospital into monsters in order to enhance his own strength and try to find a possibility of escaping the cage in this way.

As the drugs were injected, the bodies of the innocent nurses and patients began to twist and swell. Their faces became hideous and terrifying, completely losing their human appearance.

In order to make this hospital more "safe" and prevent external interference and intrusion, Dr. Kate also carefully cultivated blood-red vines.

They quickly wrapped around the outer wall of the hospital like tentacles, forming an indestructible barrier.

This barrier not only makes the hospital more closed and secretive, but also provides Dr. Kate with a relatively safe experimental environment.

But all these changes did not bring real relief to Dr. Kate.

He is still trapped in this hospital, but his world has become more twisted and crazy. Dr. Kate has regarded this hospital as his backyard, where he acts recklessly and enjoys the pleasure brought by this twisted power.

During the day, he led a group of mutated "patients" and, like hunters searching for prey, carefully searched for clues about the dean in the hospital.

Every night when night falls, the dark hospital will experience terrible changes again.

The monsters let out terrifying roars, the iron door twisted and deformed under the huge force, and people's desperate cries echoed in every corner of the hospital.

This never-ending cycle left Dr. Kate feeling extremely exhausted and desperate.

He had thought countless times, where did the dean go? Is he still alive? Why did he trap himself in this hospital? These questions lingered in Dr. Kate's mind like a shadow, driving him to constantly look for answers.

But time did not seem to bring him any clues, but instead made him sink deeper and deeper into the ruins.

After listening to the story told by the head nurse, the three finally understood what had happened.

To put it simply, Dr. Kate and the dean were fighting each other. The dean couldn't afford to lose, so he started to cheat and trapped Dr. Kate in this hellhole and wouldn't let him go out.

"Will the dean not show up during the reincarnation at night?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

The head nurse shook her head. "I'm sorry, the dean has never appeared since he disappeared that day. No one knows where he is hiding."

To be honest, if the head nurse knew where the dean was, she would have taken action long ago and would not have endured until now.

"Take this." She handed Lin Yi a pill. "If you see the dean, crush it and I will be able to sense it immediately. Then I will come to help you."

Lin Yi took the pill and looked at it carefully.

The pill seemed to be attached with the head nurse's energy. He pressed it lightly and found that it was very fragile and an ordinary person could easily crush it.

[Trigger side quest: Head Nurse’s Request]

Head Nurse's Request
Difficulty level: LV.17.

Mission brief: The head nurse hates the director of St. Freya Hospital very much. If the hunter can find his trace, the head nurse is willing to protect you in the subsequent survival trial.

Task time limit: 12 hour.

Mission Reward: St. Freya's Hospital will be transformed into a shelter for hunters.

Failure penalty: The head nurse's favorability will be reset to zero, and she will start hunting the hunter after 15 minutes.

After accepting the side quest, Lin Yi and the other two left the nurse's office. As soon as they left the head nurse's room, Lin Yi immediately felt that the temperature in the hospital had dropped a lot.

It seems that there is no time to delay any longer. Time is running out and the three must find the dean's hiding place as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they too may be drawn into this horrible cycle.

At this moment, the originally quiet corridor suddenly became busy, and nurses were hurriedly shuttling back and forth, as if looking for something.

Lin Yi pricked up his ears and heard some whispered conversations between the nurses. The content was roughly that a patient had mysteriously disappeared and an emergency search was now underway throughout the hospital.

Lin Yi thought to himself that this was not good, this was obviously a sign that a change was about to begin.
