Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 602 The Hospital's Death Knell

Inside the observation building, Jin Chanzi and his group were still locked in a stalemate with the Ghost Doctor and his group.

With Pumpkin around, Jin Chanzi and Qinghai Laomo alone are no match for them. Even if they were to join forces with these test subjects, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The only thing that Ghost Doctor and his companions are wary of now is the medicine pouch in Golden Toad's hand.

"How much longer are you going to talk? Give me the things, and I'll let you leave. If everyone compromises, we can all live in peace and be happy."

The Ghost Doctor suppressed his anger and spoke as softly as possible to make himself appear kind and gentle.

However, the Ghost Doctor clearly overlooked how he usually treated these drug test subjects like pigs and dogs.

"Bullshit! You old codger, there's not a clean spot in your belly."

"If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't believe that such a beast as you exists in the world."

"You're destined to die a horrible death. Once I get out of here, I'm going to sue you at the company."

The crowd cursed and insulted the Ghost Doctor's entire family and ancestors for eighteen generations.

They were tricked into coming here as trial participants. Everything seemed fine at first, and the contract appeared to be in order.

Unexpectedly, after signing the contract, what awaited them was hellish torment.

Many people started crying as they were cursing.

The contract guarantees their safety and promises generous compensation for each trial.

What about the payment? I haven't seen it.

Safety? Ha! What bullshit safety! They witnessed a test subject swell up like a human strawberry after taking the drug they gave him, and these bastards even dissected him right in front of them.

I heard it's some new variant, so that a so-called drug tumor can be removed from this person's body.

They had tried to use contracts to communicate, but strangely, the contents of the contracts did not affect the Ghost Doctor and his team at all; instead, they were the ones bound by the contracts.

It was only later that I learned from a young man studying business management that they had likely been victims of dual contracts.

In other words, they signed one set of contracts but did something else entirely.

In any case, the contract will only bind them, and will have no effect on people like Ghost Doctor.

Faced with the curses of the crowd, the Ghost Doctor's face turned black. These people, who were worse than pigs and dogs, actually dared to curse him like this.

The medicine pouch in Jin Chanzi's hand evoked mixed feelings of love and hate in the Ghost Doctor. Of the six corpses, he had only obtained one of the medicine pouches.

The remaining five are all in the hands of Jin Chanzi and his group. If he can't get the medicine pouches, how will he explain himself to Changchun?

"Little Taoist priest, I'm asking you, where's the white cat? Tell him to come out here!"

Seeing that the Ghost Doctor was unable to continue the conversation, Pumpkin stepped forward and questioned him.

"What white cat or black cat? I don't know. I only have one request: get out of here with your people, or I'll destroy the medicine pouch in my hand. If you don't leave, I'll destroy one every minute."

"you wanna die!"

Faced with the threat from the golden toad, Pumpkin snorted coldly, and the six spirits behind him quickly approached the group.

"Stand still, all of you, and do as I say!"

Upon seeing this, Jin Chanzi immediately shouted to the crowd.

Although everyone was suspicious, they dared not be careless in the slightest. When Jin Chanzi rescued them, he had already told them that if they wanted to live, they had to listen to him.

Furthermore, the positions of everyone in the hall had been carefully arranged by Jin Chanzi. At the moment of Jin Chanzi's words, everyone immediately held hands and stood shoulder to shoulder together.

Jin Chanzi took a step forward, his fingers forming a hand seal, and he silently chanted a Taoist scripture: "Come on, let's fight to the death!"

As he spoke, Jin Chanzi made a hand seal and raised his hand high, and instantly strands of golden light flashed on his fingertips.

Everyone felt a warm sensation throughout their bodies, and their energy and spirit seemed to be ignited and continuously gathered in Jin Chanzi's hands.

To Pumpkin's astonishment, amidst the flashing golden light, his spirit was afraid of the golden light in the Golden Toad's hand and dared not move forward, even wanting to retreat.

"Hmph, it's just some skill of raising spirits and commanding troops. What's so great about that? My senior brother raises hundreds or even thousands of Dao soldiers, but he doesn't like to show off as much as you do. Come on, believe me, I can burn all your spirit creatures to ashes with a single burst of true fire."

As Jin Chanzi spoke, he took a few more steps forward. The further he went, the more the spirit that Pumpkin had conjured wanted to retreat.

This scene filled Pumpkin with both shock and anger, and he suddenly felt wary of the Golden Toad's methods.

She was a spirit master, and all her skills were in her spiritual bodies. Her previous actions had already caused her heavy losses, and if she were to lose these spiritual bodies as well, the blow would undoubtedly be enormous.

Pumpkin was more worried that if his strength was greatly reduced, the white cat hiding in the shadows might take the opportunity to attack.

Just as Pumpkin was hesitating and unsure what to do, a loud bell suddenly rang out.

"Boom!!"

The resounding chimes were like a sledgehammer striking the hearts of everyone present.

"What's going on?! Where did that bell come from?"

The Ghost Doctor and the others looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never heard of a clock in a hospital.

"Boom!!"

Just as the Ghost Doctor and his companions were still trying to figure things out, the bell rang again.

This time the sound was even louder, accompanied by a violent shaking, as if the entire Lost City was being violently shaken.

"Something's not right!!" The Ghost Doctor's face immediately turned ugly, and he had a very bad feeling.

"Master Gui, look! It's on fire!!"

Just then, someone peered out the window and saw thick smoke billowing from the fourth floor of the inpatient ward. When he saw the location of the smoke, Ghost Master nearly fainted, his eyes suddenly turning bloodshot: "That beast!! How dare he!"

The Ghost Doctor immediately realized they had been tricked. It was clear that Xiao Ran had deliberately led them here to allow Jin Chanzi and his group to buy time.

However, that place was the hospital's top secret, the core of the regeneration furnace.

Even his assistants only knew that the furnace opening was on the fifth floor, but they didn't know where the core of the regeneration furnace was, let alone Qilin and the others who didn't have access.

"How did this guy know the reprocessing furnace was on the fourth floor??"

"Boom!"

As the Ghost Doctor was filled with doubt and uncertainty, another violent explosion was heard, and a hole was blown open in the hospital's outer wall.

A cracked and deformed furnace hood protruded from the outside of the wall.

"Oh!!!"

Upon seeing this, the Ghost Doctor couldn't help but howl in pain; it was even more painful than being hit on the body.

"Walk!!"

At this moment, the Ghost Doctor couldn't care less about anything else. Xiao Ran smashing the Regeneration Furnace was like severing the foundation of the hospital, and it would be too late to stop it if he went back now.

Each re-creation furnace requires a huge amount of resources from the Changchun Association to make.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing is so precious, the Changchun Association's industries would have already flourished everywhere.

Now that it's destroyed, the Ghost Doctor can already sense that his hopes of becoming the new leader have been dashed.

But now he had to rush back, because besides the re-creation furnace, there were even more valuable things in the inpatient department. If Xiao Ran destroyed them, he would completely lose his value to the Changchun Association, and the consequences would be unbearable for him.

The Ghost Doctor and his companions couldn't care less about Jin Chanzi or even the medicine pouch in his hand; they hurriedly led their men back.

Although Pumpkin felt it was inappropriate to leave like this, after much hesitation, she still followed the Ghost Doctor straight to the inpatient department.

"They're leaving already?? I thought they were really going to do something big."

Jin Chanzi watched the Ghost Doctor and the others leave in a hurry, and said with disdain.

But deep down, I felt incredibly empty.

"These people are really short-sighted; they're scared by a mere wisp of fire." The Old Demon of Qinghai grinned and let out a strange laugh.

Others might not be able to see it, but how could he not understand? The flames that Jin Chanzi rubbed by hand looked extraordinary, but in reality, they were just for show.

To put it bluntly, it was just a mixed fire created by rubbing together a wisp of essence and spirit from everyone's bodies. It wasn't a real fire at all, and it didn't harm those spirits.

It just looks impressive on the outside.

If they really make a move, they will be exposed immediately. At that time, Jin Chanzi will only have one option left: to run away.

"Gentlemen, let's leave now while we can. If we don't leave soon, I'm afraid things might get complicated."

Jin Chanzi addressed the crowd.

The hospital doors are now open. These people entered as trial participants and were then resold to the hospital for drug testing. Their side quests are all based on drug testing, and most of them have already completed enough side quests.

Leaving now isn't difficult; those who haven't completed the side quests can hide here for the time being.

Xiao Ran has set up a trap here, so the traps outside won't affect this place. The people from Changchun won't be coming over for the time being either. They're safe here for now.

They will be free once Xiao Ran destroys the hospital.

Upon hearing that they could leave, many people excitedly ran outside, afraid of being a step too slow.

In a short while, most of the people had run away.

The remaining few people stayed put and didn't plan to go to the inpatient department anymore.

"What about us?"

Qinghai Old Demon looked in the direction of the inpatient department and asked Jin Chanzi and the others if they wanted to go and help.

Jin Chanzi waved his hand: "No, we have more important things to do."

"What's the matter?" After Qinghai Old Demon finished speaking, he immediately understood and curled his lip: "You're planning to help him hold off that Power King?"

Seeing Jin Chanzi nod, Qinghai Laomo immediately curled his lip and shook his head, saying, "Just the two of us??"

"No, to be precise, it's just you alone."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Skeleton Demon's eyes widened: "What makes you think I can withstand it? With this trashy physical body??"

Jin Chanzi took out a golden talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Qinghai Old Demon: "This can temporarily unseal the seal that is suppressing your primordial spirit. Although this physical body is a bit weak, it should be able to hold off a mere Li Wang, right?"

Upon seeing the talisman handed over by Jin Chanzi, the Old Demon Qinghai hesitated, giving Jin Chanzi a forced smile.

"Aren't you afraid that once I break the seal, I'll tear you to pieces first, and then slaughter all of you?"

For the Azure Skeleton Demon, this would not be difficult. Once the seal is broken, even if it is just a wisp of his true form's thought, it would be enough to slaughter everyone.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi merely stared coldly at Qinghai Old Demon, offering neither explanation nor bothering to explain the reason.

Those clear, black and white eyes exuded a pressure that made the old demon Qinghai feel a chill run down his spine.

He swallowed hard and chuckled dryly, "Hey, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

As he spoke, he took the talisman from Jin Chanzi's hand and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What is the background of this little Taoist priest? How come I sometimes can't see through him?"

"Remember, you only have fifteen breaths. If you can't finish him off, good luck..."
