After being poisoned by mushrooms, all the strange creatures became fascinated by me.

"Bald Bro is awesome!" "Bald Bro is so cool, that's how you should tough it out!" "I've disliked this woman for a long time." "Hilarious, that skinny guy is hiding behind her, what a loser."

The bald, muscular man's livestream was filled with boasting, as if snatching a few candies was some extremely heroic feat.

"Sigh, you, sigh." "Theoretically, I should be cheering for Baldy right now, after all, I've been wanting to see the streamer suffer for a long time." "But I just can't muster the energy." "How should I put it, it's not that I look down on Baldy, but the streamer..." "Although the streamer is still immersed in her mushroom poisoning, I really think Baldy is a bit unworthy..."

In Tang Li's live stream, viewers followed the stream only half-heartedly, and were generally not very enthusiastic.

In the corridor, Tang Li couldn't help but squint at people.

Although everyone standing here is a patient, is this person sick?

"You mean," Tang Li asked politely, "that you're blocking this way to steal my candy?"

I'd rather this was your cheap flirting tactic than have you, at your age, trying to steal my candy.

The bald, burly man, somewhat enraged by her gaze, raised his fist, the size of a sandbag, threateningly: "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to give it to me or not, you little brat?"

A glint of steel flashed within his clenched fist as the burly man threatened in a low voice, "Believe it or not, I'll stab you in the mouth!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Tang Li started taking things out of her pocket.

In a flash, Tang Li grabbed something and swung it at the bald, burly man's face—

"Ah ...

The burly man covered his face and screamed as he collapsed to the ground.

Tang Li didn't give him a chance to struggle. She raised her hand, waved, and called over a nurse with four arms who looked quite strong.

"It seems like he has an eye problem," Tang Li said, pointing to the bald, burly man. "Could we take him away and get him treated?"

[Rule 8: If anyone experiences a sudden health crisis, please seek immediate help from nearby medical personnel. Do not hesitate to seek medical attention; medical personnel will provide far more assistance than you need.]

The four-armed nurse beamed with joy, as if a pie had fallen from the sky: No wonder they all said the adults were kind, rewarding her for her good performance so early in the morning!

It wasn't for nothing that she waited here so long to bump into the adult! The adult must have understood her heart!

The nurse happily used all four arms to lift the bald, burly man up around the waist, ignoring his struggles, and tied him up before leaving. Before leaving, she didn't forget to thank Tang Li.

Tang Li nodded in satisfaction and put the things in her hand back into her pocket.

The skinny guy looked at Tang Li's pocket with reverence: The boss's pocket was not only full of antidote candies, but also a lot of items that could be exchanged for points!

"Sigh." "It won't even take three minutes." "These ordinary players can't even touch the streamer's rock-solid values, let alone bring him bad luck."

"What did the streamer use? It couldn't be a prop, could it?" "I saw the packaging, it's pepper spray." "What's pepper spray? We don't have that in our world." "The one in front is a high-end version of pepper spray." "I'm speechless..."

After finishing breakfast, Tang Li met Xiao Zhao, who was eagerly waiting for her, at the restaurant entrance.

Today, Xiao Zhao was still bleeding from all seven orifices, which made Tang Li doubt whether the medicine the nurse had given her was actually effective—to be honest, she felt that the brown medicine tasted like dark chocolate, bitter at first taste, but becoming more fragrant the more you tasted it.

Tang Li asked Xiao Zhao, "Have the test results come out yet?"

"The test results?" Xiao Zhao—actually the intern, Xiao Mei—was taken aback. What test results? Wasn't the master here for an inspection?

Tang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"Well, the result is good. I can be discharged in a few days," Xiaomei said, forcing herself to speak. As expected of an adult, she had to go all out with her act.

Tang Li nodded and then asked, "What are we going to do today?"

Xiao Mei knows the answer to this question! She proudly puffed out her chest, her bloodshot eyes shining brightly as she looked at Tang Li: "I understand hospital culture!"

Tang Li: Huh?

First floor screening room.

Tang Li sat there in a daze, surrounded by a vacuum.

Outwards from this circle are patients sitting properly, some with their hands on their knees in the standard elementary school student posture, and some holding pens and paper.

Tang Li sat in the milk tea bucket that Xiao Zhao had given her, and inexplicably felt ashamed that her poor grades were disturbing the good students' studies.

I dare not chew the pops anymore, for fear of making noise and disturbing others.

—But why would a hospital gather patients together to watch a hospital culture promotional video? Is it to enrich the spiritual lives of hospitalized patients?

The lights went out, the film began, and the entire theater was completely silent.

From the very beginning of the film, Tang Li knew that her trip had been worthwhile.

Because her hallucination hadn't disappeared yet.

On the screen, the building of the eerie private hospital stands tall. The camera slowly pans up, locking onto a particular floor of clear glass windows.

Suddenly, blood splattered on the glass.

The originally soothing music turned eerie and tense as the camera zoomed in from the window, revealing several doctors busy at the operating table.

Their cuffs and lapels were stained with blood. What was truly disturbing was that it wasn't the irregular bloodstains from splattering or soaking during surgery, but rather regular symbols drawn stroke by stroke with blood on the fabric.

Look closely, that's the logo of the Ghost Story Private Hospital, and below it are cursive names like Jerry, James, Liu... those are the doctors' names.

Some doctors walked around with chainsaws, while others carried needles and thread. Everyone was extremely busy. Nurses moved among the doctors, wiping the blood and sweat splattered on their foreheads with towels in their hands.

On the operating table lay a body whose face was obscured. It appeared to be a tall man with gray hair hanging down, indicating he was quite old. His limbs, face, and other parts of his body were stained with ominous, writhing, purplish-black flesh.

The doctor was busy cutting and scraping away those strange marks.

Suddenly, a joyful cheer erupted.

A doctor pulled something out of a patient's abdomen—it was a clean, fair-skinned, and perfectly healthy baby. The doctor, whose features were familiar, proudly held the baby high in the air.

Everyone began to applaud, announcing a glorious victory.

The scene begins to shrink, down to the size of a glittering ruby ​​brooch, the ruby ​​also carved into the logo of a bizarre private hospital.

The brooch was worn on a man's white coat.

The man, around forty years old, sat at a bright and clean desk. His jet-black hair was slicked back, and he had a respectable and trustworthy appearance, exuding the air of a successful and elite individual. He crossed his legs, his fingers forming a bridge on his knees, and smiled at the camera.

Several vertical subtitles appeared on the left side of his face: Director of the Ghostly Private Hospital, Outstanding Youth of 3045, "My Most Trusted Good Doctor" of 3048 - Lei Hong.

A voice-over reads with great emotion: "He is a doctor of both high moral character and exceptional skills; he is a hero who snatches lives from the devil's clutches. No matter what infection you have, the director will save you—let's welcome Director Lei Hong!"

Dean Lei Hong smiled modestly and nodded to the camera.

"Dean Lei Hong, have you really cracked the code to stop the bizarre infection of the human body, as the Ghostly Private Hospital claims?"

"Yes," Dean Lei Hong replied solemnly, "Our hospital's techniques for exposing supernatural phenomena are among the world's best. We urge patients to trust our hospital and seek treatment promptly. We will certainly not let them down!"

"What a moving and inspiring declaration!" The voice-over choked with emotion. "Dean Lei Hong, you've come this far step by step. What is your greatest wish?"

"I hope that, starting with our generation, we can completely stop the spread of this strange phenomenon."

Lei Hong stared at the camera, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if hoping that viewers wouldn't miss a single word he uttered.

"My wish is that no more children will be infected by this strange phenomenon."

The screen went dark, and at the same time, the exact same voice rang in Tang Li's ears.

"Did you like this promotional video?"

Do you like this promotional video? Your esteemed presence at our institute, Tang Li, whose purpose remains a mystery?

Please don't be offended that I'm only visiting you today.
