Chapter 29 Bloodstained Hospital (8) Card Draw

[Ding, 10-pull begins!]

The system interface unfolds, and ten cards slowly flip open...

An Jing stared at the first glittering rare card, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.

"Holy crap... I got my money back?"

She looked down and saw the card clearly stated...
Card Name: Shadow Doctor

[Level: S]

[Skill 1: Mimicry Caregiver (Imitates identity to evade the mysterious instinct to recognize)]

[Skill 2: Remote Healing (Combined Healing/Torture)]

“…Not bad, not bad.” She rubbed her hands together.

"We've really made a killing this time."

An Jing sat beside the mysterious corpse, watching as new cards unfolded before her eyes.

The system let out a rare low sigh: "...Your luck is not bad; you got a five-star card on your second ten-pull."

“That’s not true.” An Jing raised his eyebrows. “I’ve put in a lot of effort, so even if I haven’t made any great contributions, I’ve still put in some hard work.”

Yes, yes.

An Jing remained noncommittal and began to look through the remaining cards.

Two three-star cards, one of which is called "Death," with a black background and an image of a tall figure wearing a cloak, with the moonlight behind him as red as blood, holding a dark blue scythe in his hand.

Card Description: [Death - Executes a target in a near-death state. Judgment is consistent and cannot be resisted (30-minute cooldown)]

"...No, you're about to be executed, what use are you?" An Jing raised an eyebrow.

The system was quite serious: "At least you don't have to do it yourself. Just to show off? Think about how cool it is when the Mysterious One is about to die and throws out a Death card."

"Just for show." She dragged the Death card into the sidebar and flipped to the next one.

【Blood Rumor Doll】

The card features a Western doll with wavy blonde hair, wearing a silk dress, gray-blue pupils, and slightly shimmering, glassy eyes that can give you goosebumps if you look at them for too long.

Card Description: [Mental pollution type attack, can release "Whispering Blood Ballad" on the target, causing brief confusion (effect varies depending on the target's mental strength)]

“This might be useful.” An Jing stroked his chin. “Putting it in a mentally mysterious interference field might do something.”

But don't stare at it for too long; after five minutes, you'll start to feel like it's watching you.

"Yes, the uncanny valley effect is already present." She decisively put it away, not wanting to look at it anymore.

Next was a four-star card with a faint golden glow, and she almost jumped up when she saw it.

[Ability Card: Safe House]

Card Description: [Constructs a 5-cubic-meter independent safe space in the current location, protected against mental, physical, and temperature fluctuations, lasting for 2 hours (one-time use card)]

"My God..." An Jing murmured, "This thing is really useful..."

Even the system couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a life-saving card! Get one in a crisis, even the Lamplighter will envy you!"

"Yes, this must be used carefully, and it should never be taken out unless absolutely necessary." She immediately put it away carefully.

The remaining few are rather unremarkable:
The four one-star cards include two called "Horror Movie Simulators," one simulating a hand reaching out from a bathtub and the other simulating a person standing behind a curtain, which can cause a 0.1-second "scare check" for the eerie.

"This is... to cheer me up?"

[This might be a warning not to smoke too much.]

"If you say that again, I'll slap you."

Two cards, each with two stars. One is "Key Healing," described as "Automatically restores 10% of health when severely injured (limited to once per day)."

“This is good.” An Jing nodded. “Although the value is low, it can be a lifesaver in a critical moment.”

System: [Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.]

The other two-star card is called "Maria's Cross," featuring an aged silver cross. The card description reads: "[Causes mental corruption in mysterious entities, with a chance to induce a brief 'divine illusion.']"

"You can still make them worship?" An Jing laughed out loud. "Never mind, just leave them there."

After arranging the cards one by one back in their place, she patted her legs, stood up, and felt a long-lost sense of security.

The abundance of cards was her source of confidence in living.

"Now, as long as I don't encounter any kind of world-destroying mystery, I'm confident I can survive!"

She turned around, preparing to go find the safe house where Lin Yue was to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, the aloof lamplighter was still dealing with the mystery when his personal earpiece suddenly started crackling.

It seems they finally realized they were being contacted from inside the hospital.

"003, can you hear me?" He Lin stared intently at the communication interface.

"can."

Hearing about his life, 002 finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart.

"That's great, I can rest assured now that you're in the hospital."

"Hmm," the man on the other end responded softly, his tone still calm.

"I found you on the roster just now. You've been recovering from your injury recently. Is it getting better?"

"No problem, I'm already clearing out the mysterious entities."

"Okay, 003, now you have an even more important task."

"Please say."

"Here's the thing, you don't know yet, we've found the Origin, but it's currently parasitizing a girl. And wouldn't you know it, that girl is injured and being treated at this hospital. If you see her, you absolutely must protect her; this is the highest priority!!!"

"...A girl? How old is she?"

003 had a bad feeling.

"Eighteen years old, looks like a high school student."

002 hurriedly said, and was about to add more, when 003 continued to ask, "Is it someone with big eyes and hair that's neither long nor short?"

"Yes...you've seen her?"

003 remains silent.

002's heart was in her throat again.

"Something happened to her?!?"

"No, I just passed by her, I'm going to find her now."

003 was unusually flustered and couldn't maintain his composure. He hurriedly went back to find An Jing.

He Lin covered her face.

Just passing by?
Is it okay for her to receive oxygen?
I can't breathe.

003's expression changed slightly.

It turns out she was a host of the Origin.

The survivor whom 001 protected to the death.

He suddenly recalled the slightly arrogant voice from earlier, and how she had relentlessly pursued the two D-level mysteries.

That seemingly random girl was actually a key person the Lighthouse Administration was protecting.

He muttered under his breath, "Really..."

An Jing drew the card and walked downstairs in a good mood, thinking about getting back to the safe house where Lin Yue was as soon as possible and taking advantage of this good luck to rest and recuperate.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight," she muttered to herself as she walked, in high spirits. "Not to mention anything else, I could spend three nights just flipping through this 'safe house' card."

The system replied lazily, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Aren't you happy? You only have a future if I force you, right?"

I'm just an intermediary, urging you to draw the cards.

"Alright, stop being so stubborn." She ran down the stairs with a thud, then suddenly stopped and looked warily into the corridor in front of her.

wrong.

She clearly remembered that the safe house was located in the hospital's nursing area, with the familiar nurses' station and rest room right outside the stairwell, and the furthest point being the two emergency rooms at the end of the corridor.

but now.

The corridor seemed to have grown longer. It didn't resemble a hospital corridor at all; rather, it looked more like a hybrid structure of some abandoned hospital site and basement. The lights flickered, and the walls were covered with dense, dark red cracks, as if they had been scratched by something.

An Jing asked in a low voice, "Did I go to the wrong place?"

The system hesitated for a moment: "You haven't gone to the wrong place; this is indeed the original exit of the staircase."

 The PK has started again, my darlings, you absolutely MUST click to check it out www (I'm going crazy)
