Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

She stood up and naturally moved closer to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly swung the rope at Wenjie!

The next second, Wenjie's figure suddenly flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she was at the door.

Under Su Yining's astonished gaze, the fear on her face vanished instantly.

Wenjie nodded slightly, glanced at Chen Shi sideways, and clicked her tongue impatiently:

"So you already knew all along. What a waste of my acting skills."

Chapter 31 First Standoff

"What's going on?" Su Yining was dumbfounded.

She was certain that she hadn't been spacing out.

But this nurse named Wenjie changed positions in just a few seconds, extremely quickly!

and……

How did Chen Shi realize that something was wrong with the nurse?

Su Yining suddenly felt as if she had accidentally wandered into the imperial family.

She was clearly the most special one, even though she was a ghost...

"Stop pretending, your acting is terrible," Chen Shi said coldly.

"Tsk, what a waste of my tears."

Wenjie looked disdainful and pulled a scalpel from her pocket.

Chen Shi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and immediately realized that it was a magical artifact.

"To be honest, you've piqued my interest."

Wenjie nodded, glanced at her sideways, and said calmly:

"How did you know something was wrong with me, Ferryman? We haven't met before, have we?"

"There is no obligation to inform."

Chen Shi didn't want to waste any more words with her, and he couldn't explain it based on the current situation.

The reason why they realized that Wenjie was the accomplice went back to the last time they were killed.

At first, Wenjie was pretending. To be honest, her acting was quite good; she portrayed a frightened, innocent woman.

But after he dealt with the head nurse and received the death report, he still wanted to take action directly, even in front of another person and Su Yining, for only two reasons.

First, Wenjie wanted to test his abilities through the headless head nurse. Through her fight with the head nurse, Wenjie determined that her strength was superior to his, so she directly attacked him.

Second, after defeating the head nurse, the dropped clues will reveal Wenjie's identity.

Regardless of the reason, it was all based on the head nurse's decision. That's why he didn't release Wenjie just now, but instead took the old man and faced the headless head nurse alone.

And the facts proved him right.

The dropped "death report" directly exposed Wenjie's true identity.

Since Zhang Yan is already dead and a vengeful spirit, Wenjie's statement is completely invalid—"I just finished drawing blood from the patient and was about to go for testing..."

How could an ordinary nurse with no special skills freely enter and exit ward 404 and even draw blood from a malevolent spirit?

Another point.

Since Wu Hui and his accomplices had been controlling and nurturing the evil spirit in the hospital, they must have some understanding of this evil spirit or the spirit cage.

Furthermore, there must be a method to suppress supernatural phenomena.

That's why Wenjie knew that the head nurse's "death report" would expose her. Also, before she was killed, when she was alive, the head nurse's combat power was obviously inferior to that after the time travel.

Clearly, the head nurse was suppressed at the time.

By controlling the variables through death backtracking, Wenjie's mistakes were indeed numerous.

"Hey, junior, how did you figure that out?" Su Yining leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"Senior, let's talk about it later."

Chen Shi pushed Su Yining away slightly, and without any hesitation, took out the rope and threw it directly at Wenjie!

As an accomplice, Wenjie will never let him pass on his spirit in peace. If she wants to exorcise Zhang Yan, she must first deal with this scourge.

However, the moment the rope was released, Wenjie's figure suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, Wenjie flashed in front of him, her movements so fast that they were impossible to see.

So fast!

Chen Shi was startled. When he came to his senses, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, followed by an excruciating feeling of his flesh being torn apart.

The scalpel had somehow already pierced his lower abdomen!

"He's smart, but a bit too slow."

Wenjie remained calm, as if stabbing someone's flesh with a knife was as commonplace to her as drinking water.

With a slight twist of her wrist, she turned the scalpel ninety degrees inside the flesh, and then forcefully cut to the side!

Blood splattered, instantly splashing onto the nearby wall, along with some intestinal fluid.

"cough!"

Chen Shi felt dizzy and his body felt as if it were on fire.

Wenjie's movements were so fast that even with his intuition, he couldn't see them clearly.

"Chen Shi!" Su Yining had only just realized what was happening.

She let out a scream, spun around, and launched a flying kick, her long leg lashing out.

However, Wenjie didn't panic at all, and didn't even make any big movements. She just leaned back and Su Yining's heel brushed past her nose.

"Interesting. You're not human, but you don't seem like a spirit either."

Wenjie looked at Su Yining with interest and took a few steps back.

Just then, the rope loop that had just been thrown out suddenly retracted and caught her wrist off guard!

"What!?"

Wenjie was startled, feeling a sharp pain in her wrist, and a bluish-purple ligature mark appeared instantly. Her fingers went limp, and the scalpel clattered to the ground.

Turning around, I saw Chen Shi slumped in the corner, one hand clutching his bleeding abdomen, the other gripping the suspending rope.

"How is that possible? You can still move like that!?"

Wenjie's face, which was full of contempt, finally showed astonishment—she had killed quite a few people. If an ordinary person were hit like that, they would not only die instantly, but they would also be unable to do anything else and could only wait to die.

This guy can launch surprise attacks?!

What a joke!

Chen Shi's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were fixed on her.

Sorry, it's just that we die a lot, we've gotten used to it.

He's not instantly killed or injured; he can linger a little longer than others.

This is the time when the enemy is most relaxed and most likely to obtain information.

Every death paves the way for the next success.

"Senior..." he called out weakly.

Su Yining looked at her with bloodshot eyes, her eyes glistening with tears. She hesitated for a moment, but then glared at Wenjie. Taking advantage of the fact that Wenjie was being restrained, she turned and kicked her.

however……

Wenjie's eyes widened!

"Uh-huh..."

Su Yining suddenly felt as if her body weighed a thousand pounds, and she squatted down in pain, as if an invisible pressure was descending from above her head.

Wenjie was smug, Su Yining looked conflicted, but the dying Chen Shi smiled faintly.

Sure enough, Wenjie had the means to suppress supernatural phenomena.

We've gathered enough information; now it's time to figure out how to break this deadlock...

Thinking this, Chen Shi began to crumble, and his vision gradually went black.

"Chen Shi? Chen Shi! Talking to me, Chen Shi... uh..."

Even though she was being suppressed, Su Yining still shouted his name loudly, her clear voice hysterical.

Just then, in the dim light, something unexpected happened.

Old Deng suddenly rushed out from around the corner, looking anxious, and wearing a brass knuckles.

He moved with incredible speed, unlike a sick old man at all. His hunched body charged straight forward, throwing a punch at Wenjie:

"Bam—!"

Instantly, dust billowed up in the corridor, and Chen Shi lost consciousness completely from the impact...

……

……

My consciousness gradually returned, as if I had been walking in a tunnel for a long time, and finally saw a ray of light.

"cough!"

"Cough cough!"

Chen Shi coughed a few times and opened his eyes as if waking from a dream.

Looking around, he was still standing at the door of ward 402, gripping the handle.

Wenjie's feigned crying came from inside, making him feel uneasy.

"Junior? What's wrong?"

Su Yining looked puzzled and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, she cried out in surprise and pointed to her nose:

"Hey!"

Chen Shi vaguely guessed what had happened.

He touched his nose, and two drops of blood dripped from his fingertips.

The side effects of death regression have begun.

Chapter 32 Stop Pretending to Be Old Deng

The scene in the corridor became somewhat awkward at one point.

Chen Shi gripped the handle tightly, his nose bleeding uncontrollably.

He knew this was a side effect of the death regression.

I went back in time yesterday afternoon and then entered the Ling Cage. I went back in time twice more today.

The side effects appeared immediately.

But Su Yining was unaware of this.

From her perspective, Chen Shi only glanced at her before suddenly having a nosebleed.

What does it mean?
