My organs are too abstract.

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Liang's all-knowing expression and ultimately said nothing.

"By the way, where's Chen Fei? Didn't you come with him? I haven't seen him."

"He was called away by those guys from the Ghost Detective Society," Xu Liang explained. "I heard that they're planning a special operation, and Fei is trying to get Chen Fei to join them."

Xu Yuan was taken aback: "The Ghost Detection Club? Our school has such a club?"

"Yeah! I was even thinking of signing up to try it out, specifically looking for female ghosts, that would be so exciting!" Xu Liang said, then sighed with a frustrated look, "Unfortunately, those girls in the club don't know what's wrong with them, they absolutely refuse to let me join."

He shook his head, sighing with regret, "Alas, losing such a great general as me is an absolute loss for them!"

Xu Yuan had no doubt about his words.

With Xu Liang's bravery, if he really encountered a female ghost, he might actually be able to take on ten people at once.

Seeing his regretful expression, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Don't you have any idea why they disagreed?"

He comforted her, saying, "It's a good thing you didn't join. After all, it's best not to rush into things like this."

Xu Liang asked in surprise, "Brother Yuan, you actually believe in this?"

"It's not a matter of whether I believe it or not, I just think it's unnecessary, these aren't serious matters."

Xu Liang looked unconvinced, clearly not taking his words to heart.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, then changed his tune: "Besides, wasting time on this is a complete waste of time. Wouldn't it be better to go out and look at some beautiful women on the street?"

Xu Liang lowered his head, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.

Xu Yuan and Xu Liang weren't actually very close, and they didn't know what to talk about to continue the conversation. But the awkward silence was really embarrassing.

The other party had just caused a misunderstanding because of his black rope, and kept calling him "Brother Yuan". It wouldn't be good if he was too cold.

After thinking for a while, he finally found a topic that Xu Liang might be interested in: "By the way, wasn't Senior Pei Yan supposed to be here today? Why haven't I seen her?"

Before Xu Liang could speak, Su Nian's voice rang out from behind him:

"Hmph, you said you weren't here for the senior? Now your true colors are showing, aren't you?"

Xu Yuan turned around and saw Su Nian walking over with a doll in her arms. She raised her chin, her bright almond-shaped eyes glancing at him sideways, a hint of disdain on her lips.

Xu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to explain that he was just casually starting a conversation, but the words felt too far-fetched and seemed like an attempt to cover up the truth.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to take the initiative: "You really don't trust me that much?"

Su Nian didn't buy his act at all, rolled her eyes, and changed the subject, explaining, "Senior Pei Yan has something come up and can't make it. If you want to see her, you'll have to wait for another opportunity."

"What?!"

Xu Liang, who had just been assuming a thoughtful posture, instantly fell silent upon hearing this, his face contorted with heartache: "I got up super early and waited in the crowd for ages, and she's not even coming?"

He was as if hit by a bullet, clutching his chest and taking two steps back, then froze like a statue.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Yuan was about to speak when Xu Liang suddenly twitched, his eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly became fully revived.

He patted his cheeks, rallied his spirits, and shouted with great enthusiasm, "I've thought it through!"

Su Nian was intrigued by his bizarre actions and asked curiously, "What have you figured out?"

"Brother Yuan is right!" Xu Liang said decisively, "Instead of wasting time here, we should go out and look at more beautiful women!"

"?"

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Liang, who had a serious expression on his face, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.

"Don't talk nonsense..."

He quickly reached out, trying to grab Xu Liang and tell him not to talk nonsense and ruin his reputation, but Xu Liang was one step ahead of him and ran away.

"Brother Yuan, class monitor, I'm going first!"

Xu Yuan stiffened his neck and turned around, only to meet Su Nian's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He was about to say something when Su Nian interrupted him directly: "Alright, I can't be bothered with you."

Su Nian glanced down at her watch and said casually, "I have something to do later, so I'll be going now."

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Of course, we'll go to the library."

Su Nian looked at him, her tone slightly teasing: "Unlike someone who squats on the street watching beautiful women—a unique way of cherishing time—my way of not wasting time is to study hard."

Xu Yuan: "..."

Goodbye, remember to come back to class early, and come pick up your books when you have time.

Su Nian waved to Xu Yuan, then turned and left, clutching the doll, her slender figure gradually disappearing into the crowd.

Xu Yuan watched the other person's retreating figure and sighed helplessly, "Another day of damaging my reputation."

He stood there for a moment, and just as he took out his phone to send a message to Zhao Ze and the others, he saw several people walking over with their arms around each other's shoulders.

The four of them huddled together, each holding a colorful flyer, their eyes shining and their faces full of excitement.

"Brother Yuan, come here quickly, there's a great spot!" As soon as he saw Xu Yuan, Zhao Ze waved excitedly and quickly handed him a flyer.

Xu Yuan looked down and saw that the background of the flyer was dark and black, with a picture of an abandoned hospital printed on it.

A crooked red cross hung halfway at the entrance, the walls were mottled, the glass was broken, and a cold and dilapidated atmosphere wafted out.

A voluptuous female nurse stood in the middle of the corridor. She wore a tight-fitting white nurse's uniform stained with blood. Her long hair partially covered her face, and the lower half of her face revealed a slight upturn at the corner of her lips, with an ambiguous curve that was hard to tell whether it was a smile or something eerie.

She held a syringe thicker than her arm in her hand, running wildly in a strange and convoluted manner, as if chasing something.

Deep in the corridor, several figures in hospital gowns pressed against the broken window, peering out without moving.

Several blurry shadows hung from the ceiling, and blood slowly trickled down the wall, converging at the bottom to form four large, glaring, scarlet characters—

Renai Hospital.

Below are numerous comments from netizens, praising the experience with phrases like "exciting and thrilling," "goosebumps throughout," "the NPCs' costumes are amazing," and "the atmosphere is fantastic."

"Brother Yuan, look! This place is amazing! It's a hospital that's been abandoned in the suburbs for over ten years. It was recently turned into a haunted house, and the online reviews are rave. Lots of upperclassmen have gone to check it out. Apparently, the NPCs inside are super professional, and it's really interesting!"

Li Da, leaning in, enthusiastically introduced the idea, his eyes full of anticipation: "We've decided, let's try it together tonight, what do you say, want to come?"

Liu Cheng nodded in agreement, "There are more people at night, the atmosphere is just right. Anyway, there's nothing to do in the dorm, so going out for a stroll is a good idea."

Xu Yuan looked at the eye-catching promotional flyer, but he wasn't interested.

He went to bed too late last night, and this morning he got up early to exercise, and then ran to the playground. He was really tired and just wanted to go back to his dormitory to lie down and rest.

Besides, he had seen real monsters, so he had absolutely no interest in these man-made horror scenes.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and refused in a flat tone: "You guys go ahead, I won't join in the fun. I'm a little tired and want to go back to my dorm to lie down for a while."

"Huh? Yuan-ge, you're not going?" Zhao Ze looked disappointed, wanting to persuade him further, "It's really exciting, it'd be a shame to miss it!"

Li Da leaned in, winking and saying, "Yeah, and those NPCs too, they're super professional, especially the female ghost nurse, her figure is absolutely amazing!"

"You guys have fun, I really don't want to go. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep."

Seeing that he really didn't want to go, the others didn't force him. The four of them discussed their itinerary, said goodbye to Xu Yuan, and then left excitedly with the flyers in hand.

The playground was still bustling with noise and excitement, but Xu Yuan had no intention of lingering and turned to walk towards his dormitory.

The corner of the tree-lined path on campus is particularly secluded, with few people coming on weekdays, giving it a somewhat deserted feel.

As Xu Yuan reached the corner, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a jet-black jeep parked quietly under the shade of a tree, standing out conspicuously among the campus bicycles and electric bikes.

He glanced over instinctively and saw three figures standing beside the car. The only woman among them had her back to him; her back was slender and upright, and she looked somewhat familiar.

"Pei Yan?"

Xu Yuan was slightly curious. Didn't Pei Yan say she had something come up and couldn't come to the playground? How did she end up here?

Two men dressed in black casual clothes stood opposite Pei Yan. They looked serious and were whispering something to her, creating a somewhat tense atmosphere.

Xu Yuan glanced at it twice and lost interest. He looked away, slowed his pace, quickly rounded the corner, and headed straight for the dormitory building.

Just as he turned around, Pei Yan suddenly sensed something and turned back sharply, only to see a blurry figure walking further and further away.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yan?" a man with half-gray hair asked in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping towards the corner. "Was there something wrong with that person just now?"

"No," Pei Yan shook her head gently, "I just felt that the person's back looked a little familiar."

"It's good that you're alright," the man nodded, his expression becoming increasingly serious. "Xiao Yan, prepare yourself for the next couple of days. You'll be joining us on this mission in a couple of days."

Pei Yan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "I understand."
