I came to the anime crossover site to farm money.

To her, [Twisting and Turning] was just a minor monster that she could easily kill.

But to the villagers, it was a terrifying monster that would drive people mad and kill them.

Katsura Kotonoha unconsciously gripped Kosei's sword again, feeling the coolness and solidity emanating from the scabbard, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Slay demons and protect the people.

This feeling of genuinely helping others and practicing the way of the sword made her realize that the weight and meaning of the sword in her hand were far more profound than she had imagined.

Su You's voice came from the side: "Yan Ye, help me find the navigation route."

Katsura Kotonoha quickly took out her phone: "Okay, it's [Morning Light Hospital], right?"

Su You nodded: "Mm."

Katsura Kotonoha found her destination on her phone's map and started navigation.

An hour later, following the navigation instructions, the car arrived at the second mission location, somewhere in the city.

[Chenxi Hospital]

This is an abandoned mental hospital that has long been forgotten by time and fire.

According to the mission information, a few days ago, a thrill-seeking adventure streamer was live-streaming a horror story in this area. In order to attract attention and traffic, he even played a ghost-summoning game in a hospital room.

As a result, instead of summoning the fox-dog-sang, they unexpectedly summoned a nurse ghost with a graceful figure but a burned face and covered in dirty bandages.

The paranormal event, coupled with the ghostly nurse's still curvaceous figure beneath her tattered nurse's uniform, instantly ignited the chat room's discussion.

Of course, most viewers believe that this is a carefully designed script and actors by the host, but it doesn't matter, after all, the "nurse sister's" legs are real and beautiful.

However, the anchor, who was directly involved, knew perfectly well that this was not a script.

The moment the ghost nurse appeared, the streamer was so terrified by the eerie atmosphere and chilling resentment that he fainted, dropped his phone, and continued streaming with the camera pointed at the ceiling until the battery died.

When he woke up the next morning, although there were no signs of injury on his body, he felt as if all his energy had been drained, and he felt extremely weak and tired.

He mustered his last bit of strength to escape from [Chenxi Hospital] and called the police.

Investigators from the Special Cases Department then intervened and detected a clear ghostly aura in the ward where the incident occurred, but were unable to find any definite trace of it.

Given that it was likely a vengeful spirit formed from the resentment of a nurse who died in the fire, and unable to stray too far from the hospital grounds, investigators deduced that it was still lurking somewhere in the hospital ruins.

The mission information also included the historical background of this mental hospital:

The hospital's director was a fanatical cult leader who worshipped an unknown evil god. She even used the hospital's mental patients to perform cruel and dark rituals. Eventually, her crimes were exposed, and before the police arrived, she set the hospital on fire, killing many innocent nurses and patients along with her.

The objective is to find and purify the nurse evil spirit that was accidentally summoned.

The task reward is 1 contribution point.

Su You parked the car in front of the hospital's main building, which was covered in charred marks and resembled a giant tombstone.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, he felt a tangible aura of burnt, moldy, and deep, chilling smell rushing towards him.

Su You took out the enchanted peach wood sword, which was designed to be effective against spirits. His gaze swept over the charred and broken windows, and he said, "Let's go. It's almost noon. Let's finish this quickly."

Katsura Kotonoha also took out Kosei from her sword pouch and nodded seriously: "Yes."

The Zashiki-warashi looked curious, while Tamamo-no-Mae seemed distracted.

The four of them walked into the main building of the hospital together.

The building was extremely dimly lit, and the air was thick with dust and an indescribable smell of decay.

With the enhanced perception from the Curator's malice, Su You could clearly "see" wisps of resentment floating in the air, like black silk threads.

Katsura Kotonoha, relying on Kosei's natural sensitivity to evil spirits, vaguely sensed the location of the spirit's existence.

"Su Jun, the sensation is very vague, but the general direction... seems to be upstairs."

Katsura Kotonoha said softly, her gaze fixed on the staircase leading to the second floor.

"Yes, I feel it too. Let's go up."

Su You nodded and walked in front.

Katsura Kotonoha followed lightly behind him.

Tamamo-no-Mae still looked listless and dispirited, leading the curious and peering Zashiki-warashi at the very back.

They climbed the dilapidated stairs and finally stopped in front of a room at the end of the third-floor corridor.

A charred, twisted wooden door stood silently.

The metal plaque on the door was mostly burned and blackened, but the words "Dean's Office" could still be vaguely discerned.

Through the door, Su You could clearly hear a series of unpleasant knocking sounds coming from inside, like some kind of metal repeatedly striking a hard object.

Su You and Gui Yanye exchanged a glance, confirming each other's information.

The target you're looking for is inside.

Su You turned to Tamamo-no-Mae and whispered, "Tamamo, seal off the room. Don't let it escape."

Tamamo-no-Mae pursed her lips, but still obediently raised her hand, flicking out a pink light from her fingertips that quickly merged into the door frame and the surrounding walls, forming an invisible barrier.

Upon seeing this scene, the Zashiki-warashi instinctively shrank its neck.

She was hit on the head by this barrier back in that abandoned school, and it hurt so much.

After making all the preparations, Su You no longer hesitated and pushed open the heavy door.

The scene inside the room was somewhat eerie.

Behind a desk burned down to its twisted iron frame, a slender figure in an old-fashioned nurse's uniform stained with dirt stood with her back to them.

She gripped a rusty scalpel tightly in her hand, relentlessly chiseling at a particularly charred wall in front of her, as if desperately trying to dig something out of it.

That strange "knock knock" sound originated from this.

The sudden sound of the door opening startled the evil spirit of the nurse.

She turned around abruptly, revealing a face wrapped in layers of dirty bandages, with only a pair of scarlet eyes showing.

A flicker of extreme annoyance at being disturbed flashed in those inhuman eyes, followed by panic at the exposure of their actions. But in the end, all these emotions were replaced by a ruthless glint.

She let the streamer go a few days ago to avoid any complications, but now that she's only one step away from what she wants, these uninvited guests... can serve as nourishment for her to regain her strength.

"Ugh—!"

She let out a hoarse roar, gripped the rusty scalpel upside down, and her figure, like a fleeting black shadow, pounced straight at Su You, who appeared at the doorway.

Su You stared at the evil nurse spirit, about to use hypnosis to control her actions.

At this moment, Katsura Kotonoha stepped forward, swiftly and firmly shielding Su You behind her.

At the same time, she leaned forward slightly, her right hand firmly resting on the hilt of Gu Qingjiang's sword, her eyes sharp as knives.

The standard starting stance for a draw-and-slash attack.

The nurse's crimson pupils suddenly contracted as she sensed a tangible, dangerous aura emanating from Katsura Kotonoha.

The terror this girl instilled in her was almost as great as that in the headmaster!

How can this be?

Is it that knife?

An instinctive warning sounded in the mind of the nurse's evil spirit.

will die! will die! will die!

Her forward momentum suddenly halted, and she tried to forcefully retreat to create distance.

But it was too late.

"Qiang——!"

A clear, melodious sound rang out, and a cold blade of light seemed to tear through the dim air, flashing past at a speed that was difficult for the eyes to catch!

The nurse demon let out a short, extremely shrill scream, and its charging figure was cut in two.

The two bodies crashed heavily to the ground, slowly transforming into countless spiritual light particles. Some dissipated directly, while others drifted towards the ancient Qingjiang River.

The nurse demon continued to struggle, turning her head to stare intently at the small hole in the wall that she was about to drill through with her blood-red eyes filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

From her bandaged throat, a few indistinct, hoarse syllables, filled with obsession, were squeezed out:

"Dean...the Lord's..."

Before she could finish speaking, her head turned into countless points of light and completely dissipated into the air.

Katsura Kotonoha slowly sheathed Kosei, turned around, and gave Su You a gentle and reassuring smile: "Su-kun, it's alright now."

Su You looked at the dissipated nurse spirit and smiled helplessly: "Hmm..."

Pure strength-based builds are indeed powerful, but they're really bad at stealing monsters.

However, Kotoha was also trying to protect him.

Su You looked at Yan Ye and praised, "Yes, you did very well. Yan Ye, you're getting better and better."

Upon hearing this, Katsura Kotonoha's cheeks flushed slightly, but the joy and satisfaction in her eyes were clearly visible.

Gaining Su You's approval was a tremendous encouragement for her.

The rusty scalpel was left on the ground.

Su You bent down to pick it up and threw it into her inventory to examine it. She found that it was just ordinary ironware and not a monster's relic.

These tools must have been found by the evil spirit of the nurse from some abandoned operating room.

Su You casually tossed it into the system's [Crush Panel], where a vortex spun, breaking it down into several insignificant colorless crystal fragments.

Then, Su You walked to the wall that the nurse's evil spirit had been continuously chiseling at and examined it carefully.

The walls here are abnormally charred and hard.

He tried tapping it with his finger, and the wall made a dull, solid sound, indicating that its strength and hardness far exceeded that of ordinary concrete.

The thought that this was the office of the cult leader made Su You's eyes flash with contemplation.

This wall was probably reinforced by that madman to hide something he wanted to hide.

The nurse's evil spirit was so persistent in digging that its target was likely something hidden inside the wall.

With Su You's current strength, it wouldn't be difficult to break through this wall by force, but with such a powerful impact, he would have a hard time ensuring the safety of the items inside.

Su You turned to Yuzao and said, "Yuzao, do me a favor and open this wall, but try not to damage anything inside."

Tamamo-no-Mae pursed her lips again, then stepped forward, stretched out a hand, and seemingly casually tapped the charred wall a few times.

hum...

A strange ripple spread out, and the exceptionally hard surface of the wall seemed to be peeled away by an invisible force, with the charred outer layer and the inner concrete falling off like gravel.

Soon, a corner of a small steel safe embedded in the wall was revealed.

Su You's eyes flashed, and sure enough, there was something inside the wall.

Once the safe was fully exposed, Su You took it out and discovered that it had an extremely complex combination lock.

"Xiaoyu, let's cut open the safe too."

Tamamo-no-Mae raised her hand again, her fingertips making a light stroke in the air.

A faint pink light flashed, and the top of the safe slid off smoothly as if cut by the sharpest laser, revealing the items hidden inside.

It was a heavy book with a cover made of some kind of black leather, exuding an ominous and antiquated aura.

Su You picked it up and looked at the text on the cover.

"This is...the Bible?!"

A black Bible?

A certain anime series involuntarily surfaced in Su You's mind.

Is it really the Bible from that anime series?

But isn't that Bible in some school?

How did it end up in an abandoned mental hospital?

Moreover, it was held by the director of a mental hospital.

Su You's mind was full of questions.
