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

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoxiao trembled, her eyes filled with panic, as if she had been frightened.

Shen Qingchan found it unbelievable that her family's discipline was so strict, causing her to have a stress reaction. Perhaps that's why she developed a mental illness and ended up in the Wol Hospital.

Nie Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed Shen Qingchan's hand, saying anxiously, "Let's go quickly! We can't keep Mom waiting."

Shen Qingchan nodded, pulled Nie Xiaoxiao, and pushed open the door to the ward. Just like before, the ward was lit by incandescent lights, and it was just an ordinary hospital corridor.

The moment the hospital room door closed, a mechanical voice sounded in my ear: [[The Vanished She] Story Unlock Progress: 10%]

Shen Qingchan and Nie Xiaoxiao walked down the long corridor, which seemed to have no end. She led Nie Xiaoxiao for 30 minutes, but they still couldn't reach the stairwell.

Shen Qingchan glanced at the room beside her, which was labeled "Examination Room." She remembered passing by an examination room just three minutes earlier.

Shen Qingchan stopped with Nie Xiaoxiao and looked back. The corridor behind them seemed endless, and the small opening was pitch black.

The only difference in the entire corridor was the doors and windows on both sides. This was the [examination room], and ahead was the [nurse's duty room], both places she had been before.

Nie Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Qingchan, puzzled: "Sister Luoyan, why aren't you leaving? Mom is waiting for me, I need to hurry."

Nie Xiaoxiao spoke softly, but her tone was eerie, as if a thin snake was crawling up her arm from her palm, a slippery and cold sensation spreading, making her subconsciously want to shake off Nie Xiaoxiao's hand.

Shen Qingchan forced herself to calm down and gripped Nie Xiaoxiao tightly. She felt that as soon as she let go, Nie Xiaoxiao would disappear from her sight.

She's probably stuck in a situation similar to being trapped in a maze, but luckily she knows something left behind by her ancestors—

One visit, two visits, three visits back.

Now that she saw the place she had walked before, she couldn't go any further; she had to go back.

Shen Qingchan said in a low voice, "Follow me, and we'll be out of here soon."

Shen Qingchan turned around, forcing Nie Xiaoxiao to turn around stiffly as well. Shen Qingchan led Nie Xiaoxiao back for a while.

Shen Qingchan saw the examination room again. She pulled Nie Xiaoxiao around and walked back in the direction they had left.

This cycle repeated several times until Shen Qingchan could no longer see the [examination room].

At the same time, the sound of the wind in the corridor changed. As she walked with Nie Xiaoxiao, the only sounds in the corridor were the wind and their footsteps on the concrete floor.

Shen Qingchan led her a few steps, and her vision blurred for a moment. When she could see clearly again, a figure appeared out of thin air.

The figure skipped and hopped towards her. It was a little boy, about seven years old, with a cheerful expression on his face. When he saw Nie Xiaoxiao, he smiled, a strange smile curving his lips and narrowing to his eyes. His tone was threatening: "You actually ran out of the ward! Your mother will beat you!"

As Nie Xiaoxiao listened, she trembled uncontrollably. After the little boy finished speaking, he walked behind the two of them without paying any attention. Shen Qingchan stared at the figure behind her as it gradually faded away, turning into a wisp of green smoke and slowly disappearing.

Before Shen Qingchan could turn around, another voice rang out beside her, also a child's innocent voice, but with a hint of eerie threat: "How could you listen to others! Your mother told you to stay in the ward!"

The little boy stared wide-eyed, gripping Nie Xiaoxiao's arm tightly. Nie Xiaoxiao's eyes were vacant, her teeth chattering, and large tears kept falling down her face.

Children kept appearing out of thin air in the corridor, heading straight for Nie Xiaoxiao, whispering threatening words in her ear, and then silently turning into green smoke and leaving, leaving only cheerful yet eerie sounds echoing in the corridor.

"Your mother is going to beat you to death!"

"You're doomed! Your mother will beat you to death!"

"How could you disobey your mother! You're doomed!"

……

Shen Qingchan felt a stinging pain in her palm as Nie Xiaoxiao's fingernails dug into her hand, drawing blood.

Shen Qingchan tried to comfort her: "Your mother is so good to you, she combs your hair and dresses you in pretty shoes, how could she bear to hit you? Don't listen to their nonsense."

But her words had no effect. The little boy in the corridor continued to attack. Nie Xiaoxiao couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, curling up in a corner of the corridor.

To Shen Qingchan's surprise, Nie Xiaoxiao was wearing a hospital gown with the sleeves rolled up, revealing bluish-purple marks on her bare arms, as if she had been beaten, with some razor blade cuts around them.

Shen Qingchan couldn't remember if these things were there when she first met her...

The next second, a mechanical voice inexplicably sounded in my ear: [[The Vanished Her] Story Unlock Progress: 20%]

It was triggered when she saw the scars. It seems there must be some story behind these scars, but she can't ask right now. Nie Xiaoxiao curled up, straining with all her might. She couldn't even pry open the arms that were wrapped around her head.

Seeing that she had 30 minutes left to survive, Shen Qingchan didn't have time to think much; the side quest couldn't stop here without any progress.

I just encountered a ghost wall; these kids must be little ghosts too.

These little devils are dark-hearted, maliciously speculating about others, and always wanting to stir up trouble; they're like evil spirits.

Standing next to Shen Qingchan, Xiao Dai chased after the group of children as if playing, but when he watched them suddenly appear and leave, he felt a little lost and a little irritable.

Shen Qingchan opened the shop and glanced around. It was mostly filled with mystical items, like peach wood swords and Bagua mirrors…

But it's too expensive.

One costs 2000 points!

She looked at her 5000 points with some reluctance, and her gaze finally fell on a mask.

Game Item: Nuo God Mask

Introduction: Divine Protection

Price: 500 game points

The mask had a unique and mysterious design, yet it was also solemn and ornate. The prop description stated that it was indeed carved from willow and camphor wood, and then painted and lacquered.

The overall impression is one of mystery and awe.

Looking at the group of children, Shen Qingchan exchanged the props. A moment later, a light suddenly appeared in her palm, and the mask appeared in her hand.

Shen Qingchan beckoned Xiao Dai over, put the mask on Xiao Dai's head, and commanded, "Come on, dance with this mask on!"

Xiao Dai was overjoyed wearing the Nuo God mask. When he saw the children suddenly appear, he went up to them without thinking and started waving and threatening them. He made gestures while threatening them. Before the children even got close to Nie Xiaoxiao, they were so frightened that their faces changed color, and the next second they turned to ashes.
