Weird Rules: I'm so handsome, they all want to seduce me.

The two waited there, and time passed by, minute by minute.

About ten minutes later.

Su Xiaobai's legs were getting a little numb, and she was just about to change her position.

Jiang Hongyi suddenly placed her hand on his arm.

"Here you are." She said in a very low voice.

Su Xiaobai immediately held her breath.

At the end of the corridor, in the darkest shadow, something seemed to wriggle slightly.

You can't see it at all unless you look closely; it blends almost into the darkness of the corner.

Then, a very thin, human-like black shadow "flowed" out from the shadows.

It moved close to the wall at an absurdly fast speed, without making a sound, and glided straight toward a ward with a green "calling" light on.

"It's going to catch something new," Jiang Hongyi said, already holding the scissors in her hand.

Su Xiaobai's mind raced.

Wait for it to catch someone? No way, then another unlucky soul will get dragged into the instance.

Stop it? How? This thing looks like it can go through walls.

The dark figure had already slid to the door of the ward, and the shadow under the door crack began to twist and deform, as if it wanted to crawl in.

Su Xiaobai gritted her teeth and stood up abruptly.

"Hey!" he called out, his voice particularly loud in the empty corridor.

The dark figure against the wall suddenly paused, and then, in an extremely awkward posture, like a broken bamboo pole, it swiftly turned its "head"—which was actually just a deeper mass of darkness—to face Su Xiaobai.

"whee……"

A sharp, mocking laugh pierced Su Xiaobai's mind.

"Yet another... clueless...living person..."

The shadowy figure spoke, its voice rising and falling.

"You can see me?... No, you're just lucky... You're only human..."

It seemed to have lost interest in Su Xiaobai, and its body was trying to melt into the door again.

"I said," Su Xiaobai took two steps forward, put his hands in his pockets, and struck a "I'm so cool" pose.

"Out and about in the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you're having an affair. You're a nurse with no professional ethics."

The dark figure turned completely around, facing Su Xiaobai.

Although it had no facial features, Su Xiaobai could feel a cold "gaze".

"A nurse?...Hehe...You're right...I'm Nightshade Nurse...responsible for taking disobedient 'patients'...to where they need to go..."

The sarcasm in its voice became even stronger.

"You... a blind man who can't even see where I am... dare to stop me?"

Before the words were even finished, the black shadow suddenly stretched out, like a black lightning bolt, and pounced towards Su Xiaobai's face! It was so fast that it left afterimages!

Su Xiaobai's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself, "Damn it," but he didn't move his feet.

It wasn't that he was brave; it was that he knew he didn't need to move.

A crimson light, faster than any thought in his mind, shot out from beside him! Whoosh—!

The red light tore through the darkness, pinning the shadowy figure precisely to its "chest"! It wasn't scissors, but solidified red light, like a nail, which slammed the shadowy figure against the opposite wall with a "thud!" The shadowy figure let out a short, strange cry, as if it were being choked.

It twisted and turned desperately, but the red-light nail remained motionless.

Jiang Hongyi walked out from beside Su Xiaobai and stepped towards the dark figure pinned to the wall.

Her face was so cold it could freeze, and the crimson scissors in her hand were pointed at the struggling black shadow.

"Just now," Jiang Hongyi said, each word radiating coldness, "who did you call mortal?" The shadowy figure paused its writhing motion.

"Who are you talking about... the blind man?" Jiang Hongyi asked again, pushing the scissors forward a little.

The dark figure referred to as "the nurse" seemed to finally realize that something was wrong.

The mocking aura emanating from it turned into astonishment and... a hint of fear.

"How...how could you...lock onto me..." Its voice trembled.

"Wrong answer," Jiang Hongyi said.

She didn't use any fancy tricks; she just held the scissors, stabbed forward, twisted, and then slashed.

The actions were simple and brutal.

"ah--!!!"

The dark figure let out a piercing scream, and the part pinned by the red light began to disintegrate violently, turning into ashes like burning paper.

"How dare you mock my man?" Jiang Hongyi said coldly as she worked, "Who gave you the guts?"

Pfft, pfft.

A few more times.

The shadowy figure couldn't even beg for mercy anymore; its screams weakened, and its entire form rapidly faded and dissipated.

Finally, the red-light nail disappeared with a soft "snap".

Nothing was left on the wall except a neatly folded, pure black nurse's uniform, which floated down from mid-air and landed on the ground.

The corridor returned to silence.

It was as if the one-sided crushing defeat had never happened.

Su Xiaobai walked over and looked at the nurse's uniform on the ground.

"That's... all?" He was a little stunned.

He thought he was going to have to fight for three hundred rounds.

Jiang Hongyi put away the scissors, and the rose glow on her ears softened.

She kicked the clothes. "The real thing ran away; this was just a projection-like thing, but..."

She bent down and picked up the nurse's uniform.

The clothes felt cold to the touch, and the fabric was strange; it didn't feel like cotton or synthetic fiber, and it was very light.

"It smells like that copycat version," Jiang Hongyi said. "Very strong."

Su Xiaobai took the clothes and looked at them. Apart from the color being pure black, the style was no different from that of an ordinary nurse's uniform.

"Spoils of war?"

"Hmm." Jiang Hongyi flipped her hand, and the nurse's uniform disappeared into thin air. "I'll leave it here."

"Alright, let's go back," Jiang Hongyi said. "This place won't 'fluctuate' for the time being. That thing suffered a loss and won't dare to come back anytime soon."

When the two left the hospital and returned to the villa, it was almost dawn.

Su Xiaobai didn't sleep. He took out the black communicator that Qin Zhentian had given him and pressed the only button on it.

The call connected after two beeps.

"Executive Officer Qin, it's me, Su Xiaobai," Su Xiaobai said directly.

Qin Zhentian's clear voice came from the other end of the communicator, clearly not asleep: "Speak." "The Third Hospital, we went in to take a look."

"The disappearance of patients is due to spatial ripples, that's right. Also, we caught something that called itself the 'Night Shadow Nurse,' it was black, like a shadow, and it specifically catches people and sends them inside."

There was a two-second silence on Qin Zhentian's end.

"Night Shadow Nurse... the low-level patrols at Ren'ai Mental Hospital are suspicious..." His voice deepened, "You two clashed?"

"I guess I'll pass, my senior beat me in a second." Su Xiaobai glanced at Jiang Hongyi, who was fiddling with her new scissors, and said, "I left her an outfit, and my senior kept it."

"It's confirmed. The entrance is related to these 'Night Shadow Nurses,' and they are the porters."

Qin Zhentian took a deep breath, and the sound came through the communicator.

"Su Xiaobai, you guys moved too fast," he said. "But well done. This intelligence is very important. The appearance of 'Night Shadow Nurse' means that the activity level at the entrance to the 'Benevolent Mental Hospital' instance is rising sharply, and the results of the global joint investigation may be available soon."

"So what do we do next? Just wait?" Su Xiaobai asked.

"Wait for further instructions, but be prepared." Qin Zhentian said seriously, "An S-level dungeon, with competition from over thirty countries, the situation inside is completely unknown."

"Even though you have your senior, you absolutely cannot let your guard down."

"clear."

"Get some rest, keep communication channels open, and act immediately upon receiving the notification." "Okay."

The communication was disconnected.

Su Xiaobai threw the communicator onto the sofa and slumped into it.

"An S-rank dungeon..." he muttered.

Jiang Hongyi sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Scared?"

No, not at all.

"I just feel that a monthly salary of 100,000 is definitely not free."

Jiang Hongyi didn't say anything, but simply reached out and gently took his hand.

Su Xiaobai grabbed it with her other hand and squeezed it.
