Tang Li watched quietly as the door opened.

Two figures nimbly slipped into the room, a man and a woman.

They were all acquaintances.

Tang Li raised her eyebrows in surprise: Jiang Hui and Qiu Wanting?

Ten minutes ago.

Jiang Hui and Qiu Wanting carried two basins of blood and splashed them down the corridor.

"You're just going to use the black dog blood from the Guhua dungeon shop for exorcising evil spirits like that?" Jiang Hui asked with a pained expression.

"What?" Qiu Wanting laughed. "No, this is the unfinished Maoxuewang (a spicy Sichuan dish) in the kitchen."

[Rule Twelve: The corridor floor must be kept clean. If there is bloodstains, they should be cleaned by nearby medical staff.]

This is a rule that has been verified to be true, and then, an armless nurse is about to walk down the corridor.

Unable to use cleaning tools, she had to ask for help from others. No medical staff would be passing by in the short term, and the only person who could help her was Dr. Jerry in the nearby clinic.

Luring the tiger away from the mountain.

After Dr. Jerry left, Jiang Hui and Qiu Wanting slipped into the consultation room.

From Tang Li's perspective, the two of them were like the most skilled pickpockets, working together to search Dr. Jerry's entire room.

And they were quite bold, not even checking if anyone was in the room before rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

"Take a look at this," Qiu Wanting said in a low voice, "The hospital is indeed conducting human experiments."

He was holding the brown paper bag that Tang Li had just stuffed back into his hand.

"Heartless and insane." Jiang Hui glanced at the file with disgust. "What a bunch of executioners."

"Let's look for more clues. Do we have any specific identification characteristics of Subject 01? Is he still alive? Can we still rescue him?"

The two discussed in hushed tones, and Tang Li's expression gradually softened.

At least they sound like friendly forces.

At that moment, the sound of leather shoes tapping on the floor came from the corridor.

Qiu Wanting and Jiang Hui exchanged a glance and quickly restored everything to its original state. By this time, the sound had reached outside the door, and escaping the examination room was no longer possible. The two of them leaped forward and boldly hid in a row of hospital beds in the inner room.

Once a person lies down, a medical sheet covers them, and the two people and a mannequin that was already on the bed lie in a row.

He pressed down on the doorknob, the lock clicked softly, and Dr. Jerry finally stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the house, he looked around.

Jiang Hui peered at Dr. Jerry through the gap in the blue sterile cloth, her heart pounding with anxiety: they shouldn't have left any clues, but what exactly was Dr. Jerry looking for?

The doctor's footsteps slowly approached.

Jiang Hui held her breath and gripped a knife again.

Unfortunately... it's too early to tear off the mask of civility now, and it's too easy to alert the enemy.

"Splash—"

The medical sheet was suddenly thrown back.

A slender figure sat up from the bed.

"Ah, I fell asleep while waiting."

It's that mannequin next to them—no, it's Tang Li?!

Tang Li calmly got out of bed and nodded to Dr. Jerry. At the same time, she subtly blocked his gaze from looking at the other beds.

She stepped into the outer room, leading Dr. Jerry out as well. "How did things go?"

Dr. Jerry, unsuspecting, laughed and said, "It's a small matter; it's been completely taken care of."

They made no mention of their experience of mopping up the blood-stained floor.

Under the astonished gazes of Qiu Wanting and Jiang Hui, Tang Li chatted with Dr. Jerry for ten minutes. Afterwards, Tang Li smiled meaningfully and said, "Speaking of which, I heard about Dr. Lin from our hospital the other day. She's a very skilled female doctor. I really want to pay her a visit."

Dr. Jerry immediately became wary: "Lin? She's just so-so, why would you want to see her?"

Dr. Lin, the attending physician, was sweating slightly. She roughly knew what Tang Li was going to ask, and her teeth ached.

Tang Li smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I haven't been eating very well lately, and my stomach isn't feeling too comfortable."

Dr. Jerry paused for a moment: "But Dr. Lynn isn't an internist at all!"

Qiu Wanting closed her eyes helplessly.

He knew that Tang Li was suspicious and deliberately exposed his past in front of him: when he had tricked the dining car nurse before, he had specifically said that he came to see a doctor for a stomach ailment.

Sure enough, once trust collapses, all the lies told before will be exposed.

Fortunately, she and Jiang Hui didn't talk about anything they shouldn't have, so it wouldn't affect Tang Li's values.

On the other hand, Tang Li got the conclusion she wanted and clearly lost interest in having a long chat with Dr. Jerry. Thankfully, out of humanitarian considerations, she found another excuse to lure Dr. Jerry out of the consultation room.

Qiu Wanting and Jiang Hui took the opportunity to leave.

The two slipped out of the clinic, and after walking a few steps, they saw Tang Li standing in the corridor ahead, arms crossed, waiting for them to walk right into her trap.

"Explain yourself." Tang Li tilted her head slightly. This little girl, so young, somehow had developed an aura of authority. "What exactly are you two?"

Chiu Wan-ting: "Private lawyer."

Jiang Hui: "Police."

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

The two exchanged a glance.

Qiu Wanting: "Police."

Jiang Hui: "Private lawyer."

Tang Li almost laughed out of anger; she thought she only saw this kind of awkward scene in TV dramas.

"A lawyer, right?" She first looked at Jiang Hui, who was the most infuriating one who had been lying to her all along, "You, explain what accidental self-defense is."

The legal term was a real tongue-twister for Jiang Hui: "It's...it's just a very accidental act of self-defense..."

Unable to bear watching any longer, Qiu Wanting interjected, "Incidental self-defense is when there is no intention to defend oneself..."

"Shut up." Tang Li stared at him, ready to kill one if one came, or two if two came. "Aren't you a police officer? Now you do three pull-ups while holding onto the door frame."

Qiu Wanting hesitated and glanced back at the door frame, not even wanting to lift her hand.

Jiang Hui hesitated before raising her hand: "This, I know how to do this..."

Tang Li continued to glare at her.

The incident ended with Jiang Hui pulling out her police ID, which featured multiple laser anti-counterfeiting patterns, fine printing, and complete information.

It's definitely a dungeon item of the confusing type. Jiang Huixin is heartbroken. She spent a huge sum of money to buy dungeon items, but she used them on her own teammates. She doesn't know if the boss will reimburse her.

Tang Li kept babbling on: "As a police officer, your vigilance is too poor. You didn't even check if anyone was in the room before searching."

Jiang Hui was so angry she wanted to bite her: Of course she was sure! She used a compass to confirm there was nothing strange in the room, and then used a talisman to confirm there was no malice in the room.

How could she have imagined that Tang Li, a purebred human with no ill intentions, was hiding there?

"Alright," Tang Li said, noticing Jiang Hui's gaze growing increasingly dangerous. She wisely decided to stop while she was ahead. "Since that's the case, tell me about it."

"How far have you gotten in terms of clues?"

"My dear, ally?"
