The cold and slippery sensation came over him again.

But all of his choices were the same as before.

Kill Prince Teng, Wu Dahai, activate his spiritual power, and grab the surgical knife.

He couldn't let go of the surgical knife, a tool that could cut through countless strange things, coupled with his power of inflicting pain, it was a deadly combination!

With the surgical knife breaking through defenses and his power causing fatal agony, they were a perfect match!

Even if it meant angering the female physician and breaking the rule of not killing, he would do it without hesitation.

This time, however, he chose the north door to escape.

The north door was an elevator that could be activated, but it was too slow. As the elevator was about to close, a pale large hand reached out and killed him.

South door!

The south door led to a chaotic operating room where various medical devices were crushed into pieces by great force. There were dark blood stains everywhere.

And it was a dead end!

He died at the south door!

In the end, only the east door remained.

If this door also led to a dead end, he would have to give up the surgical knife.

Fortunately, the east door was a way out!

It was a long corridor, with a public toilet on one side and three forks ahead, one to the left, one to the right, and one in the middle.

At the sight of the toilet, he immediately recalled passing through a mental hospital before.

The reason why the memory was so vivid was that he had only seen this particular toilet in the mental hospital, and when he passed through it and went to the left, he saw a sign.

It read "Safe Passage"!

Just like malls, schools, and hospitals, they all establish emergency safe passages and hang up signs.

Although he didn't know if the safe passage in the mental hospital was safe, he had to try it now!

He ran with all his might towards the safe passage, but he was chased down and killed by the female physician just as he reached the public toilet.

Was he really going to have to give up the surgical knife?

Fang Xiu quickly dismissed the idea.

Although the female physician's speed far exceeded his own, he could use multiple deaths and retries to predict her attack trajectory.

If used properly, death and retry could to some extent be equivalent to predicting the future!

Ninth death and retry.

"Go east!"

In the hall, Fang Xiu didn't stop at all, leading Zhao Hao into the east door.

As for the two colleagues hiding behind the pillars, they weren't stupid either, and quickly came out and followed them into the east door.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

After entering the east door, inhuman roars sounded, and the ceiling shook violently.

"Ah!" x3!

In the screams of Zhao Hao and the other two, the female physician appeared on the ceiling.

The three of them were so scared that they pushed and shoved, running for their lives, afraid of becoming the last one.

However, the female physician flew over their heads and went straight to Fang Xiu.

At this moment, Fang Xiu was running without looking back.

Zhao Hao was shocked: "Xiu, hurry!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned, because the next moment, he saw a miraculous scene.

Fang Xiu seemed to have eyes on his back. The female physician on the ceiling reached out her big hand and fiercely grabbed at his head.

Fang Xiu, as if knowing in advance, slightly turned his head, and the pale and eerie hand barely grazed his scalp.

Failing to hit him with one strike, the female physician immediately turned around and made a move, accompanied by a howling evil wind.

But Fang Xiu stooped again and narrowly dodged.

Then came the third strike, fourth strike, and fifth strike.

The female physician's hands almost turned into residual images and continuously attacked, but Fang Xiu always managed to calmly and narrowly dodge.

Finally, the female physician became angry. Her entire body directly pounced from the ceiling, resembling a huge humanoid spider.

However, just before she pounced, Fang Xiu stumbled as if he had been tripped by something, and his body lurched forward. Taking advantage of this momentum, his speed slightly increased, but his body was very unstable, as if he was about to fall the next second.

And indeed, he did fall.

But even though he fell, his speed didn't stop, and he rolled like a donkey towards the left passage.

Bang!

The spot where he had just fallen was smashed into a deep pit, right where the female physician had been aiming.

She missed, and became even more angry as she chased after him towards the left passage.

Zhao Hao and his companions were all stunned, feeling as if they had just witnessed something incredible. Even their eyes couldn't keep up with Fang Xiu, who easily dodged several attacks.

Is this what a Spirit Master is capable of?

Zhao Hao felt a mix of admiration and desire. Who wouldn't dream of being extraordinary?

But what Zhao Hao didn't know was that Fang Xiu wasn't a Spirit Master, and it wasn't as easy as it seemed.

This was a skill that he had only mastered after dying nine times.

Finally, in the left passage, Fang Xiu saw the safety passage signboard emitting a shimmering green light.

This was the first time he had seen the signboard since he died and restarted nine times.

He didn't know how to avoid danger next, and he expected to die a few more times.

But just then, something strange happened.

The female physician who had just entered the left passage suddenly let out a piercing scream upon seeing the signboard.

Her voice was mixed with fear, terror, and trembling.

After the scream, she turned around abruptly and ran away like a ghost.

Fang Xiu immediately stopped in his tracks, frowning.

Why did the female physician run away upon seeing the signboard?

It could only mean that there was something terrifying hidden here, even enough to scare the female physician.

Fang Xiu frowned as he looked at the signpost. Behind the signpost was a corridor, which was poorly lit and relied solely on the light from the signpost.

But he could vaguely see a metal door at the end of the corridor.

According to normal logic, there must be a way out behind that door.

At this point, Zhao Hao and the others ran over.

"Xiu ge, are you okay? Why did that weird thing run away?" Zhao Hao asked with concern on his face.

Fang Xiu shook his head to indicate that he was okay.

The other two were overjoyed.

"This is a safe passage!"

"The way out must be here!"

They wanted to hurry and go, but they weren't stupid. Seeing Fang Xiu not moving, they naturally couldn't just go exploring blindly.

"Fang Xiu, why aren't you going? Is there something wrong with this path?"

"Rest for a while before we go."

After speaking, Fang Xiu sat down right where he was and closed his eyes to meditate.

He was waiting for his spiritual power to recover.

Even the female doctor had been scared away by that thing, and he couldn't even beat her. Therefore, he had to wait until his spiritual power had recovered before trying to explore.

Zhao Hao looked at Fang Xiu, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and was at a loss.

He was helpless, but had no choice but to rest.

They really needed to rest. From the appearance of the eerie domain until now, it had only been a few tens of minutes, and they had been running for most of that time, with their hearts pounding.

As office workers, their physical strength had already been severely overdrawn, and this sudden rest made them feel dizzy, with a sense of faintness.

Half an hour later, Fang Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and stood up in one motion.

The sudden movement startled the three of them.
