This actor is full of tricks.

"Fourth floor, section F..."

Lin Jue stepped into the elevator car and pressed the button for the fourth floor. The elevator ascended smoothly, and as the button lights went out, the elevator doors slowly opened.

A young policeman in uniform stood outside the door. As soon as he saw Lin Jue, he came up to him and asked, "Minister Zhou from the Investigation Department?"

"It's me." Lin Jue stepped out of the sedan chair, the distinctive smell of disinfectant from the hospital filling his nostrils.

"Hello." The young policeman smiled. "Captain Hu already told me. I'll take you to see that patient."

"What illness does he have?" Lin Jue asked as he walked.

“He has severe paranoia. He keeps saying that someone wants to kill him and take his nose.” The young policeman touched his own nose as he spoke. “The noses of the four victims who died also disappeared. I suspect that he was frightened, which caused his mental problems.”

There really is something that wants to kill him.

Lin Jue silently replied in his heart, and led by the police, arrived at the door of a ward.

407.

Lin Jue looked up at the room number, gently pushed open the door and went in. It was a double room. One of the beds near the door was empty, and the blankets on the bed by the window were messy, but no one was there.

Lin Jue gently closed the door and locked it from the inside, then walked to the bathroom door of the room.

The toilet door was closed, and you could faintly hear the driver talking to himself inside.

"It stinks, it stinks, why does it smell so bad?"

"Don't kill me! I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything! I swear I didn't see anything! I won't tell anyone! Please, spare me!"

"Hehe, nobody would know that an extra room would appear on the fourth floor at midnight."

"No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean to tell anyone. This has nothing to do with my mother, don't go looking for her!"

"Help! Help! Someone please save my mother..."

The sound grew louder and louder, finally culminating in a dull thud, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, accompanied by a painful whimper.

Lin Jue hurriedly pulled the door lock, but the toilet door was locked from the inside. Without hesitation, he slammed his fist on the door and broke in.

Inside the cramped toilet, the driver was slumped on the floor, his hands tightly pinching his nose. The veins on his forearms were bulging, and a bloodstain had appeared where the skin of his nose met his cheek. He was about to tear his nose off.

"Big Brother!" Lin Jue rushed over and grabbed the driver's hand tightly. At the same time, he summoned the Mirror Ghost and made her hide in the mirror.

As he entered the restroom, he caught a glimpse of a fleeting black mist, indicating that something was following the driver. He decided to have the Mirror Ghost protect the driver from the shadows while capturing the creature.

"Brother, wake up!" Lin Jue pried the driver's hands open. The driver's pupils had shrunk to the size of pinpoints, and his condition was very bad. He was breathing weakly and seemed about to die at any moment.

Snapped!
Lin Jue slapped the driver across the face. The driver's body twitched, and his pupils began to dilate.

At the same time, the young policeman who had been guarding outside the ward rushed in. Before he could even ask anything, he heard Lin Jue shout at him, "Go and call the doctor!" After shouting, Lin Jue carefully helped the driver up. The man's complexion had improved a lot, and his pupils had returned to normal size. However, his eyes were unfocused, tears were streaming down his face, and his lips were drooping. An inexplicable sadness permeated his face, as if he were trapped in some sorrowful dream.

"Brother, can you hear me? Brother."

Lin Jue waved his hand in front of the driver, but the man did not react at all. His eyes were lifeless, and his features were dull. He was just an empty shell that had lost its soul.

The doctor and nurses arrived in less than a minute. The doctor immediately shooed Lin Jue away and, together with the nurses, carefully lifted the driver onto the hospital bed.

Lin Jue followed and moved closer, but before he could get any closer, the doctor whispered a reprimand: "Unrelated personnel, leave the ward immediately. Don't you know that people with paranoia are very resistant to the approach of strangers?"

The young policeman opened his mouth to introduce Lin Jue's identity, but was stopped by the latter. Lin Jue shook his head and said softly, "Leave everything to the doctor. Let's leave here first."

Since he had already achieved his goal, there was no need for him to stay and cause trouble for the doctor. With the Mirror Ghost protecting the driver, he didn't need to worry too much about the driver's safety. After all, the Mirror Ghost now had C-level strength, which should be more than enough to protect an ordinary person.

He didn't think the thing following the driver was particularly strong. If it were truly powerful, why would it be doing it so secretly?
So he decided to go to the Wisteria Community again because the driver had said something in the restroom.

"At midnight, there will be an extra room on the fourth floor."

The extra room might contain that shrine, and judging from the driver's mutterings, he must have entered that room and seen the shrine, which is why he was used as a sacrifice.

Although the driver didn't specify which building's fourth floor it was, Lin Jue guessed it was probably the second building.

The Wisteria Community remained locked down. Hu Rui was curious when he saw Lin Jue return, but wisely didn't ask any questions and let him through.

As they walked up to the second building, Lin Jue released the old man and instructed him, "Grandpa, after dark, you should leave here and go to Quming County. Hide away and protect Yaya and her father. You've been with me before, so you should know where they live, right?"

He suspected that Ya Ya's father was also being targeted, and to prevent any accidents, he had no choice but to send a ghost to secretly protect him.

"No problem." The old man gave an OK sign and then said, "Is it okay if I bring that kid Fu Yu along too?"

"Okay, just be careful to hide well. You're doing alright, but Fu Yu looks like a ghost, so don't scare ordinary people."

Lin Jue nodded. Although he didn't bring many ghosts with him this time, Bi Zheng and He Wen were both there, so even if they encountered danger, they could basically handle it easily.

At 11:58 p.m., Lin Jue turned off his phone and stood quietly in the dark corridor. He keenly sensed that the atmosphere around him had become somewhat abnormal. The stench in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and the darkness seemed to be churning, as if something was about to appear.

Lin Jue silently calculated the time in his mind. When he reached the 120th second, he took a step and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

Each step, even the slightest footsteps, was amplified countless times in the empty night, becoming exceptionally jarring.

When Lin Jue reached the end of the corridor, he stopped; there was a door in front of him.

A door made of flesh and blood.
