Free Web NovelChapter 321: Chapter 313: The Old Man
A sound like a collapsing building echoed through the livestream, but the picture didn’t shake.
The viewers in the livestream saw it clearly.
Doctor Wen’s punch had indeed caused the wall to collapse.
"I don’t recommend you try this. This kind of behavior defies the rules and will likely lead to trouble."
A large hole appeared. The wall suddenly began to flicker and fill with static, like a dying screen.
It flickered for a moment before suddenly vanishing.
The wall returned to its original state.
And below the Gothic Mental Hospital, two large words appeared on the light screen: Enter Password.
Wen Ying walked over and entered the password again.
After she finished, the main gates of the mental hospital suddenly swung open.
At that very moment, the entire dark space instantly brightened.
The deathly darkness vanished, and the bright sky brought a sudden sensation of rebirth.
But beyond the old fortress, the surrounding area was an unfathomable fog. A white mist filled the space.
Even the bright sky was veiled by a thin layer of white mist.
Besides the mist, clouds occasionally appeared in the sky, but they looked as if they had been painted on.
Exquisitely, beautifully fake.
This time, when everyone looked at the fortress again, it had lost the gloom of the darkness, but a terrifying atmosphere still lingered.
The Gothic architecture’s walls were covered in strange, bizarre patterns. In the light of the white day, these patterns held a different kind of terror.
It was different from the horror felt in the dark of night.
Wen Ying strode openly through the main gates into the Gothic Mental Hospital.
In the empty courtyard, several figures now seemed to have appeared.
But these figures were standing in various corners, their backs to Wen Ying.
One was squatting in front of a flowerpot, head down, staring motionlessly at the flower inside.
Another stood before a window, gazing at its own reflection in the glass, unmoving.
Someone else was lying face down on a bench in the courtyard, perfectly still.
In short, not a single one of them looked normal.
A figure that Wen Ying found somewhat familiar emerged from the fortress’s door, dressed in a pink nurse’s uniform and a matching pink cap.
The figure strode toward Wen Ying with an extremely displeased expression.
But upon seeing Wen Ying, the figure suddenly froze, its body going ramrod straight for a second before relaxing.
However, its expression now held a fear that was obvious at a glance.
The figure in the nurse’s uniform still summoned its courage, walked up to Wen Ying, and said in a cold, mechanical voice, "You must be the new cleaner. Go get your work uniform immediately, then start cleaning. If you don’t finish, you don’t eat today."
After saying this, the person in the nurse’s uniform immediately turned and left with hurried steps.
[Why does the phrase "fleeing in panic" come to mind?]
[Is this NPC afraid of Doctor Wen?]
Wen Ying hadn’t even said anything. ’And this NPC that just showed up already ran off?’
Wen Ying was a bit speechless. ’Where do I get the work uniform?’
’What am I supposed to clean?’
’More importantly, where’s the dining area?’
’You can’t expect me to work without eating, right?’
’And how is my pay calculated???’
’With so many important questions, why couldn’t it wait for me to ask before running away?’
Wen Ying casually walked over to the window, reached out, and grabbed the thing that was admiring its own reflection.
She lifted it up and turned it to face her.
Instantly, everyone watching the livestream gasped.
Holy crap!
What the hell was that thing?
Its body clearly looked human, and its head looked human too—from the back, at least. But its face...
’Damn it, it looks just like a pig.’
Don’t get me wrong, that’s not an insult. It really had the face of a pig.
All of its facial features, except for its human ears, were identical to a pig’s.
Upon seeing Wen Ying, it even let out a few snorts. OINK! OINK! It was clearly the sound of a pig.
Wen Ying hadn’t expected it to be a pig-headed man.
Wen Ying pulled her hand back, then took a pair of white gloves from her pocket and put them on.
"Hello, Mr. Pig. Could you please tell me where I can get a cleaner’s uniform?"
Wen Ying asked, her tone and attitude gentle.
The pig-headed man looked at Wen Ying, its eyes filled with disdain.
As if seeing a human was the most unlucky thing in the world.
HMPH!
The pig-headed man turned its head away, refusing to look at Wen Ying. It waved a hand dismissively and tried to walk away.
Unfortunately, it had barely taken a step before a pair of hands grabbed its leg and lifted. The next thing the pig-headed man knew, it was flying.
