"This newcomer actually triggered the hidden quest in Colossus Hospital!"

"Impressive!"

"So Old Liu can't move at all! But how did he know?"

"Who just called this newcomer an idiot? Stand up and speak!"

Everyone was discussing when suddenly a special framed message appeared in the live streaming room.

Yang Tao: "Although it was somewhat accidental, among the new players added to the Bone Zone this year, his performance is quite good. The outcome of the newbie dungeon isn't very important; what's important is his mindset, judgment, and reaction ability."

"??? Isn't this the vice president of the Call to Arms Guild, Boss Yang Tao?"

"It's really Yang Tao! Let's take a photo together!"

"Why does Boss Yang Tao have time to visit a newbie's live stream?"

"Is your guild short on people? Boss, look at me! I'm already level 12!"

Yang Tao: "We're not short on people. I just happened to have some free time, so I came to check out the newbies' dungeon situations."

Yang Tao: "Given the current situation, Zhao Yi's best approach is to resist the temptation of the hidden quest and focus on completing the main storyline. The map of Colossus Hospital isn't large, and there aren't many monsters, but there are many restrictions on the exit. You must obtain an access card to leave."

Yang Tao: "But the two known access cards in the hospital, one is with the director, and the other is in the logistics department. The former is extremely difficult to obtain, and the latter might be challenging to explore. Let's see how this newcomer performs."

Yang Tao: "Moreover, Old Liu has subtly hinted to Zhao Yi that his daughter died in the elevator, which means the hospital's elevator cannot be used."

In the live streaming room, Yang Tao was analyzing with reason when he suddenly stopped.

Because he saw Zhao Yi heading straight for the elevator with a property deed in hand...

***

The wood paneling in the elevator was very worn.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

There were many dark brown spots.

Those were dried bloodstains.

Clearly, something had happened here before.

Zhao Yi rubbed his chin, staring at the elevator for a long time.

[Elevator: Low-Level Danger]

[Note 1: Inside is a vengeful spirit weakened by death, with severely reduced strength and resistance, but still possessing five times the human physique. You cannot fight it barehanded.]

The annotation appeared again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi smiled.

The one who died in the elevator was most likely Old Liu's daughter!

Her strength and resistance were severely diminished.

Good, Very good.

He stepped forward boldly.

Zhao Yi walked into the elevator.

And his hand reached into his pocket, pulling out a pitch-black object, placing it under the property deed.

"Are you Old Liu's daughter, Liu Xue?"

***

"Brothers... why do I feel like Zhao Yi's expression is... a bit off?"

"He doesn't seem scared, maybe even a little... excited?"

"Can he really handle this?"

"Stay true to yourself! I call him... a true warrior!"

In the live streaming room, the crowd initially frightened by the sudden appearance of the female ghost, found their fear dissipating by half upon seeing Zhao Yi's expression.

***

Seeing the man in front of her completely unafraid, Liu Xue was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Am I not scary enough?

"I am Liu Xue... are you here to avenge me?"

Her face was drenched in blood, her black hair wet and sticky...

Her skin was deathly pale, her voice eerie and ghostly...

Zhao Yi wasn't scared, he even wanted to perform a craniotomy on her.

"Your father, Old Liu, has a special gift for you."

Liu Xue was stunned.

"My... father?"

Zhao Yi nodded slightly.

"He left it for you alone, said it's very important, and asked me to make sure you get it. It seems to be related to a property deed.

But first, tell me your story, weren't you killed in an elevator accident? Why seek revenge?"

Upon hearing the words "property deed," the female ghost Liu Xue realized Zhao Yi was indeed sent by Old Liu.

Because only three people in the entire hospital knew about this matter.

Her, Old Liu, and the director.

Liu Xue's eyes were cold, hanging outside her sockets filled with resentment, her aura growing increasingly unstable.

"Accident? Yes... everyone thinks it was an accident...

Do you think it was an accident too? Do you think so!!"

As she spoke, she suddenly thrust her terrifying, rotten face in front of Zhao Yi!

Her resentful eyes stared intently at Zhao Yi!

Zhao Yi blinked and asked:"And then?"

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

Ghosts scaring people is a terrifying thing.

But failing to scare someone is quite awkward.

Liu Xue coughed twice, slowly retracting her face, and said coldly: "It was the director. He murdered me, pushed me off the rooftop! Then had my body collected, claiming it was an elevator malfunction!"

Zhao Yi suddenly understood.

"So, you want me to help you kill the director?"

Liu Xue nodded.

"If you help me kill the director and bring his head back to me, I'll give you a generous reward!"

There was no system prompt.

This meant the female ghost was lying to Zhao Yi.

She had no intention of rewarding Zhao Yi.

She might even plan to kill Zhao Yi afterward!

"Does he have any weaknesses?"

Zhao Yi seemed unaware, asking on his own.

"He is the strongest ghost here... but also the weakest. Unlike other ghosts... he doesn't know he's dead!

If you can make him realize he's dead... his obsession will vanish, and his power will drain!"

After the female ghost finished speaking, Zhao Yi handed the property deed and the object beneath it to her.

"I understand. These are the things your father wanted you to have.

I'll find a way to help you get revenge, you take a look first."

Liu Xue's cold gaze fell on the property deed, casually accepting the two items Zhao Yi handed her.

The process was so smooth.

So smooth that the female ghost didn't even suspect a thing.

Zhao Yi exited, turned right.

Stopped.

Covered his ears.

A strange pull ring was looped around his middle finger.

After a brief wait— An extremely blinding light exploded inside the elevator!

A violent explosion sound followed, accompanied by countless pieces of flesh and wood flying out, scattering everywhere, covering over ten meters!

A blown-up, round head rolled out from the elevator, the fallen eyeballs filled with extreme unwillingness and terror...
