Qin Nuo returned to Room 303 with lunch in hand.
Inside the ward, with Mute Sister's intimidating presence, the others behaved themselves.
The twin boys were staring at the sparking TV with resentment and anger in their eyes.
Suddenly, the door swung open.
Qin Nuo pushed the door open and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, your lunch is here."
As soon as she heard it was time to eat, Xiao Yue's eyes lit up and she rushed over.
The twins, however, maintained their pride, snorted coldly, and looked away, clearly still upset about the TV being smashed.
"Wow!! It's sandalwood, how is there sandalwood here?" Xiao Yue picked up a stick of sandalwood, drooling.
"What, sandalwood?"
The twins immediately turned their heads upon hearing this and ran over, drooling as well.
Mute Sister signed, asking how they got this.
"The ghost brother who prepared the meal heard it was for you guys in Room 303 and was so fond of you that he shared his beloved sandalwood," Qin Nuo said, rubbing his nose.
"Ghost brother is really a good ghost," Xiao Yue murmured.
"Stop talking and hurry up, we almost forgot what sandalwood tastes like!" The twins wiped the drool from their mouths, impatiently urging.
Mute Sister took a stick of sandalwood and stored it in the cabinet.
The little ghosts didn't mind, as one stick was enough for them to share.
The white-haired boy named Bai Qu eagerly fetched a lighter and lit the sandalwood.
The white smoke of the sandalwood wafted through the air, and Xiao Yue and the others leaned in, taking deep breaths, showing satisfied expressions, licking their lips, and continuing to inhale.
Under the ghosts' consumption, the sandalwood burned rapidly, gone in less than two minutes!
"Delicious," the twins said, rubbing their bellies and lying on the ground, looking intoxicated.
They looked at Qin Nuo and said, "We forgive you, but remember to get us a new TV."
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"......"
"Is this stuff really that tasty?" Qin Nuo couldn't help but mutter.
"It's okay, not as fragrant as the Meat of Taisui."
"Ah, but I've almost forgotten what the Meat of Taisui tastes like, such a hard life!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost sighed.
Qin Nuo knew what it was thinking, but now wasn't the time to talk about the Meat of Taisui.
"I brought back the Rainbow Candy you asked me to."
Qin Nuo said, taking out a jar of Rainbow Candy.
A whole kilogram of Rainbow Candy!
Xiao Yue and Bai Qu were dumbfounded.
They could only eat a few pieces, a few grams, a week, so when had they ever seen such a big jar?
Then Xiao Yue reacted, "Hey, wait, how can you..."
Qin Nuo squinted and smiled, "Yeah, I also want to ask, why didn't anyone tell me about the trade item?"
Xiao Yue suddenly fell silent, looking guilty and avoiding Qin Nuo's gaze.
Mute Sister signed.
Bai Qu said, "Back then, Mute Sister's doll was the trade item for you."
"But Xiao Yue didn't tell you everything Mute Sister said!"
Mute Sister gave Xiao Yue a reproachful look.
Xiao Yue hung her head lower, muttering, "I... couldn't bear to see Mute Sister's doll ruined."
Hearing this, Qin Nuo understood.
So that's what it meant at the time.
"In that case, I'll keep this jar of Rainbow Candy."
"How the candy is distributed in the future will depend on your behavior."
"For example, this time, your candy is gone." Qin Nuo glanced at Xiao Yue and distributed the candy to the others.
Mute Sister also had some.
But she didn't particularly like eating it.
Xiao Yue looked at her longingly, eyes full of desire.
Mute Sister hesitated for a moment but then put all the candy into her own mouth.
Xiao Yue's expression became even more pitiful.
Mute Sister understood Qin Nuo's intentions; it was indeed the only way to manage these four children.
The patients in Room 303 didn't suffer from any mental illness.
Instead, they had a congenital metabolic disorder.
Their intelligence and mentality were stuck at the level of seven or eight-year-olds!
Bai Qu, the twins, and Xiao Yue all looked nearly adult, some possibly already adults.
But in reality, they would always be seven or eight-year-old children, with everything confined to a fixed area, unable to expand further.
Mute Sister was the only patient who had been treated and returned to normal.
So, she always played the role of a mother to Xiao Yue and the others, managing and restraining them.
She knew very well.
If the patients lost control, the outcome in Saint Yasi Asylum would be...
To her, Xiao Yue and the others were closer than family, despite having no blood relation!
Qin Nuo's educational approach was exactly what Mute Sister wanted.
"Angel's Kiss: Received Favorability from Mute Sister +90, Reward: Ghost Creature—Erosion Ghost Gu ×1!"
"Hmm?" Qin Nuo was bewildered.
How did he gain favorability from this mute girl?
He had been worried that treating Xiao Yue differently would provoke her, as the leader.
But the result was quite the opposite?
Who knows how much time passed.
The clock on the wall suddenly chimed.
Qin Nuo glanced at the time; it was six in the afternoon, the end of the attendants' shift.
"It's time to go to the hall and settle today's work rewards."
"Unless something unexpected happens, my performance shouldn't be rated poorly."
Doing his job well should meet the standard.
Moreover, he had completed an instance task!
"Let's stop here for today. Arrange your time responsibly."
"I'll come back tomorrow."
Qin Nuo stood up and said.
He had intended to visit the patients in Rooms 302 and 301, but time passed faster than he expected.
Mute Sister signed to Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo looked at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue turned her head, pouting, clearly still sulking.
Bai Qu translated, "Mute Sister says, before you go to Room 302, be prepared."
"Room 301, those patients are strange, it's best not to interact with them."
A kind reminder.
Qin Nuo looked at Mute Sister and said, "All the wards in my jurisdiction need to be attended to."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Mute Sister continued to sign.
Bai Qu: "Also, quickly get the incense candles, it's very important."
"Stay in your room at night, don't come out, or something terrible will happen!"
"Mute Sister wants you to remember, when it gets dark, keep the candles burning by your side."
"If they go out, no matter what happens in the room, don't open your eyes!"
Mute Sister's words made Qin Nuo's hair stand on end.
This instance mode sounded much more dangerous than the previous battle royale mode.
"What exactly appears after dark?" Qin Nuo couldn't help but ask.
Bai Qu suddenly fell silent.
Mute Sister stopped signing.
The twin brothers gestured for Qin Nuo to be quiet.
As if mentioning what comes after nightfall was a major taboo!
Mute Sister took a drawing board, wrote a few words, and showed it to Qin Nuo.
"When night falls, all is silent."
"That is another world, called hell!"
