Chapter 34 Bloodstained Hospital (13)

"...what's wrong?"

An Jing spoke softly, looking at the trembling girl in Dr. Du's arms.

In that instant, she had a feeling that was both vague and clear, as if there was something hidden in Ruan Ruan's eyes that she had not seen.

But Ruan Ruan didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and buried her face in Dr. Du's chest, as if avoiding her gaze.

003 then called out to them, "The people have arrived. Get ready to move. An Jing, you and Dr. Du go together. I'll bring up the back of the line."

He spoke decisively, with a sense of "the task is complete and it should end now."

But after taking only two steps,
"Wait a moment!!"

Dr. Du suddenly shouted.

His voice was hoarse and he was almost out of control.

003 paused, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"

An Jing also turned around abruptly.

Dr. Du did not explain immediately, but looked down at the girl in his arms, his voice trembling: "Her vital signs... were very abnormal just now. I was afraid she couldn't withstand moving; she's too weak."

He looked up at 003, his voice almost pleading: "Can we wait a moment? Really, just a little while... I'll adjust the device again; she simply can't withstand being moved right now."

003 frowned, his gaze sweeping over the girl in Dr. Du's arms, and hesitated for a moment.

"No, the mission is more important. I must get An Jing out first."

An Jing walked over and looked up at him: "We can't force it. Look at her hands, they've turned blue."

003 paused for a few seconds: "I can leave two people for you, but you're too close to the main road, you can't stay for too long."

"Don't separate," An Jing suddenly said.

"what?"

“Don’t separate us.” She looked at 003, her tone unusually firm. “You know how 001 and the others died, right?”

003's expression changed slightly.

The air seemed to cool down a bit.

An Jing's voice was still not loud, but every word seemed to be wrapped in a chill:

"Because they were advanced, the villa was sealed off and left helpless."

003's lips moved, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"We can set up sensor-based alerts."

“It’s no use.” An Jing interrupted him, her tone softening slightly, but she still wouldn’t back down. “Mysteries aren’t monsters; they’ll find loopholes. You know that high-level mysteries can disguise themselves as Lamplighters, don’t you?”

This sentence is like a heavy hammer blow.

003 finally fell silent.

He closed his eyes and exhaled heavily: "...Five minutes."

"Okay." An Jing nodded.

Dr. Du had already lay down on the ground again, fiddling with the instrument. His fingers slid quickly across the control panel, automatically filtering out even the electrical noise around his ears.

"Ruan Ruan," An Jing said softly, sitting down beside the girl, "The doctor will give you some medicine in a little while, you have to bear with it, okay?"

Her voice was soft and slow, like she was coaxing a child who had just woken up.

Ruan Ruan didn't speak, but her eyelids twitched slightly.

“I know you’re afraid of crowds, but don’t be nervous.” An Jing glanced at 003 and continued, “He may be a bit fierce, but he won’t hit anyone.”

003 on the side: "?"

"...Didn't I already say? He's just being stubborn at most."

003:"……"

"I was genuinely trying to comfort her, don't be so sensitive," An Jing said softly as she turned around.

003: "..." Okay.

Dr. Du, who was listening nearby, wanted to laugh but held back and focused on operating the device.

The machine seemed to have been activated; a light blue light slowly lit up, activating between Ruan Ruan's neck, waist, and abdomen.

"This is a mild analgesic, which, combined with psychological guidance, can help alleviate her discomfort," Dr. Du said in a low voice. "But it's only a temporary relief and cannot cure the disease completely."

"That's enough." An Jing looked at Ruan Ruan's gradually relaxing little body and said softly, "As long as she's not afraid, we can wait."

003 stood at the entrance of the passage, glancing back every now and then at the "rescue personnel" in the distance.

The man stood there, neither approaching nor speaking.

I just stood there quietly, watching them.

"Why isn't he moving?" 003 frowned. "Didn't he just gesture that we could retreat?" An Jing asked.

"Yes, but logically he should have come to help and provide support. Now he's so far away, it's like he's just watching a show."

“He was wearing a helmet, so we couldn’t see his face,” Dr. Du said. “Shouldn’t your contact personnel have code names? Please confirm?”

003 seemed to only then realize the problem and quickly pressed the earpiece: "002, did you confirm that person's identity?"

He Lin: "Our system shows that one member of the support team has already gone over. He was wearing an anti-jamming uniform, but he didn't report back. It should be him."

“He gestured for us to retreat, but… he didn’t move,” 003 said in a low voice.

He Lin: "Wait, I'll contact them again..."

The words have not yet fallen.

An Jing suddenly unplugged his communicator and listened for a moment.

Where is the sound coming from?

"Who have you been talking to the whole time?"

"002..."

"Listen again! Where's the sound?"

003 suddenly woke up as if from a dream, his back covered in a cold sweat.

Mental pollution.

His contact with me had been lost long ago.

and so……

The person wearing a helmet in the distance suddenly and slowly raised his hand.

Open your five fingers.

Little by little, little by little, little by little...

Slow, yet extremely deliberate.

003 gasped.

An Jing stood up and turned around abruptly.

"That's not our man!"

"withdraw!"

She shouted, her eyes suddenly sharpening.

003 rushed forward almost reflexively, grabbing the instrument with one hand and pulling out his personal flashbang with the other.

Dr. Du held Ruan Ruan tightly, half-kneeling on the ground, and growled, "She can't move yet!"

"Then don't move! Lie down right there!" 003 growled, shielding An Jing behind him while keeping an eye on the figure.

The other party, however, took the first step unhurriedly.

"Damn it." 003 gritted his teeth. "We've been tricked."

"Don't use your tools yet, wait until he gets closer!" An Jing suddenly shouted. "If it's a mystery, firing won't help!"

An Jing could tell that 003 was a patient just by looking at the hospital gown he was wearing.

He probably doesn't have many props on him.

What if I need it urgently now, but what will I do later?
"What should we do then? Wait for it to come over and smile?!"

An Jing said in a low voice, his eyes calm and sharp, "Let it in... The three of us will surround this entrance and restrict the space. Don't make a move, and once it's exposed, we'll force it in."

003 was startled, then nodded: "You mean you want to trap it here?"

An Jing looked at Ruan Ruan.

The girl's eyes were still closed, but the trembling had completely stopped.

Her breathing was slow and rhythmic, and her fingers loosened.

It's like... he's pretending to be asleep.

An Jing suddenly understood.

"So what do we do now?" 003 asked.

"Wait for her to wake up."

"Will waking up solve the problem?"

“No.” An Jing’s eyes turned cold. “It’s easier for us to move if we wake up.”

003 felt like he was going crazy.
