Strange things happen, and I drive the evil god mad by chasing debts.

Therefore, Shen Qingchan wasn't too afraid. She had a way to clear the level and resurrection items. She could just stay here and earn as much survival time as she could.

She has one hour left to survive, but she is currently injured and unable to explore anything.

Looking at the man in front of her, she decided to use the same tactics she used to chat with the nurse to unlock the plot.

Shen Qingchan hesitated for a moment. She didn't know much about the second floor, so she decided to start with simple questions and then delve deeper: "Do you know how many doctors are on the second floor?"

The other person sat listlessly in the chair next to her, who had been resting with their eyes closed. Upon hearing her question, they raised their eyelids slightly and uttered three words indifferently: "I don't know."

Shen Qingchan persisted, "Then do you know the doctor who performed my surgery?"

The other person remained expressionless: "I don't know you."

Shen Qingchan frowned: "...Do you know how many patients are currently on the second floor?"

The other person replied listlessly, "I don't know."

Shen Qingchan: "..."

Why does this NPC know nothing when I ask him anything?!

What's going on?

Shen Qingchan pondered for a moment, then asked again, "What's your name?"

This time, the other person gave her a look as if she were an idiot: "I wear a business card on my chest."

Shen Qingchan looked at the business card on her chest. It was yellowed and black, and she couldn't make out what was written on it at all.

Shen Qingchan: "...You can't see clearly there."

Bai Ke said impatiently, "I am Bai Ke."

Shen Qingchan said "Oh". She had never seen this person before when she came to the hospital, and she had never heard of this name when she was following the plot.

She felt as if Bai Ke had appeared out of thin air.

Shen Qingchan asked Bai Ke any questions, but he basically knew nothing. It wasn't until the time on the hospital room screen pointed to 4 a.m. that Bai Ke suddenly made a move.

Bai Ke stood up, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and said, "I'm leaving now. Remember my props."

Shen Qingchan nodded, guessing that the NPCs were about to go to work.

Shen Qingchan continued to lie on the hospital bed, with Xiao Dai beside her. Since the plot couldn't be unlocked through NPCs, the only way was to search the items in this hospital room.

Shen Qingchan slowly got out of bed. The entire ward was extremely dark, similar to the ward on the first floor. Her personal information was still crookedly pasted on the wall by this ward, but it seemed a little different.

On the first floor, her ID card stated her name was Luo Yan and that she suffered from schizophrenia, and that's exactly what's written here—

Name: Luo Yan

Status: Examination passed, blood test conducted, patient under observation.

She clearly still had schizophrenia, how did she suddenly become like this?

What does "passed the inspection" mean? They didn't actually check anything during that surgery.

Shen Qingchan was puzzled, but she didn't have any clue about it yet, so she could only put it aside for the time being and continue searching for the plot progress in the ward.

Shen Qingchan decides to take the hidden side quest.

Shen Qingchan opened the side quest interface.

The film "The Vanished Woman" has a plot summary:

She disappeared right before my eyes, leaving behind a scene of ruin and incompleteness. I didn't want to live anymore...

If I had another chance, I definitely wouldn't have sent her to Wall Hospital... or rather, I would have gone up to the second floor to prevent this tragedy from happening!

The plot summary is only two short sentences long, and it doesn't look like a summary at all, but rather a monologue.

Although she didn't know who this "she" was, she knew it must be related to Director Nie. The introduction mentioned the second floor, so it seemed the second floor was the breakthrough point.

Shen Qingchan quickly tidied herself up, but the movement aggravated her wounds, causing excruciating pain.

She glanced at her game points, gritted her teeth with a pang of heartache, and spent 200 points in the game store to buy a pain-relieving item to use on her wound.

As soon as she used it, the pain in her wound disappeared without a trace. Although the wound still bled when she pulled it, she felt like she could carry 100 pounds of gold.

Shen Qingchan looked around the ward. There was no rest schedule for Director Nie, and she wasn't sure what restrictions were on the second floor, but she wasn't afraid. She pushed open the ward door and went out with Xiao Dai.

Strangely, after leaving the ward, she found that the corridor was completely different from the one the nurse had pushed her through earlier.

The corridor was dark just now, with the overhead lights flickering on and off. Now, the corridor is brightly lit, the walls are spotless, and a draft is blowing through it, though it's unclear where the draft is coming from, since the place is completely enclosed.

Xiao Dai happily bounced back and forth in the corridor, and Shen Qingchan couldn't notice anything unusual. It was like a real hospital, but there was no one there.

She turned and glanced at her hospital room, which had a very unlucky number: 444.

She remembered that when she first arrived, the number wasn't this high.

The only plausible explanation is that everything here has changed.

She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door to the ward again and went inside.

Just as she expected, the time on the wall had changed to 8 a.m. She remembered checking the side quests at 4 a.m. The bed next to hers was completely different from her own; it was spotless with clean bedding.

As she was pondering what had happened, there was a rustling sound from the bed next to hers.

She looked over warily and saw that the blankets bulged out like a small hill. A small section of the blanket at the foot of the bed was lifted, revealing a pitch-black interior. A round eye appeared inside, with the whites of the eye very conspicuous.

This is……

Just as she was contemplating what monster she would face and how she would die, the blankets were suddenly thrown back, revealing a cheerful, childlike laugh: "Time's up! You didn't find me! You lost!"

Shen Qingchan subconsciously looked behind her; there was no one else there. The words were addressed to her.

This girl doesn't look like the monsters in the game; she's a perfectly normal-looking person, just like Bai Ke.

She looked to be about 6 years old, with two little buns on her head, which were braided and then tied up. Her hair was neatly combed, and her clothes were also very clean.

It seems her parents love her very much.

Shen Qingchan stepped forward and glanced at the personal information posted on her hospital bed, which read—

Name: Nie Xiaoxiao

Status: Examination passed, blood test conducted, patient under observation.

Nie? Director Nie's daughter?

It seems we've entered a hidden side story.

Shen Qingchan focused her attention on the situation again, which was exactly the same as hers, without even missing a single word.

Xiao Dai followed behind Shen Qingchan. Nie Xiaoxiao didn't seem to notice him, but instead grabbed Shen Qingchan's arm: "Why aren't you saying anything! Are you going to renege on your promise?"

Shen Qingchan casually asked, "Then what do I need to do?"

Nie Xiaoxiao chuckled, her face full of childlike innocence, her smile sweet: "You said you'd give me your intestines."
