The doctor's unusual words and actions alerted Zhong Mu and Yin Xiu that something was wrong.
The offering, 408 is the offering, so what kind of offering is it for?
Almost simultaneously, the two realized that Lady Night had deliberately brought him into this instance. Excluding any mental influence, there must be something more important waiting for him.
Just as the doctor suddenly pulled out his scalpel and rushed towards 408, Yin Xiu stepped forward and stopped him. With a flash of cold light, the doctor's hand holding the scalpel fell to the ground with a thud. Before he could even cry out, he was kicked to the ground, and then Zhong Mu rushed over to stop him.
The two sets of movements were executed smoothly and in less than five seconds. Before the two monsters next to him could react, the doctor had already been pinned to the ground by Zhong Mu.
Ya Ya was stunned. Wasn't this doctor going to kill 408? Why were her brother and Zhong Mu trying so hard to protect 408? She had just glared at him.
Yin Xiu slowly walked to the doctor's side, carrying the bloodstained knife, and smiled, "It seems you know much more than that stupid weirdo in 408."
The 408 at the end: ? ? ?
Yin Xiu stepped on the doctor's remaining hand to prevent him from resisting, and said coldly, holding the knife, "Tell me, what is the sacrifice? Tell me, and I'll consider leaving you with a whole corpse."
Li Mo explained quietly from behind, "Boyfriend, a complete corpse means the body is intact. His hand was just chopped off by you, so it doesn't count as a complete corpse."
Yin Xiu glanced at him silently, but Li Mo's expression changed instantly. He gave the doctor a chilling smile and said, "Tell me, what is the sacrifice? If you don't, I'll swallow you whole!"
The doctor's face was deathly pale, contorted with pain, but he still glared at 408. "For the sake of the monster! You should die! You're all useless! You'll only ruin the plan in the end! Why don't you just die?!"
The doctor's angry glare and resentment made 408's face darken.
Zhong Mu, who was standing to the side, pressed down hard on the doctor, also furious. "So all that stuff you told me before was just a lie to trick me into killing him, right?! He's not even a dungeon boss! You can get the key without killing him. Whether your hospital exists or not doesn't matter much. You just deliberately tricked me into killing him, didn't you!"
The doctor ignored Yin Xiu's threats and only wanted to kill 408. He knew very well that Yin Xiu wanted to get information out of him. If he didn't speak, he would struggle with all his might and continue to provoke 408.
"You monsters are completely superfluous. You should have been eliminated in the first place. Keeping you alive was the greatest favor we could have done for you. And now you're just getting in the way! I should have killed you all back then!"
The doctor's harsh voice ignited 408's rage. He glared at the doctor with a distorted expression, clenching his fists, but did not go over.
As if sensing his anger, the doctor smiled coldly, "You should be burned to death like her, suffering unbearable pain. Keeping you locked up is too lenient."
408 instantly charged forward, gritting his teeth, as if a ticking time bomb had been triggered, his entire body radiating killing intent.
Yin Xiu, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped him. He didn't want 408 to get close, and he couldn't let the doctor die for the time being. The doctor might be trying to provoke 408 to kill him, or kill him.
"Let me go! I'm going to kill him!" 408 shouted fiercely, rushing towards the doctor. He was just a hair's breadth away from touching the doctor, but Yin Xiu's knife instantly blocked his way.
408's body twisted again, and he wrestled with Yin Xiu. The scene was chaotic, so chaotic that Ya Ya and Li Mo didn't know who to kill to solve the problem.
Killing 408 seemed to be the doctor's idea, but killing the doctor would mean losing the opportunity to ask for information. In the end, they rushed to help Yin Xiu and first quell 408's agitation.
In the chaos, the doctor struggled to his feet from under Zhong Mu, grabbed 408's ankle, and yanked him to the ground.
With a muffled thud, the doctor, dagger in hand, rushed toward 408, who was lying on the ground.
In order to prevent the so-called sacrifice from dying, Yin Xiu almost didn't think twice before slashing down with his knife.
Forget about any clues; preventing accidents is the most important thing.
But the moment the knife slashed through the doctor's body, Yin Xiu clearly saw a smile appear on the doctor's face.
Besides the knife he was holding, he also had something else in his hand: the number on 408's foot.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and smiled sinisterly, "408... is not his name, nor his number... it's the number of the sacrifice."
"Now... I am the sacrifice."
As the doctor collapsed to the ground with a thud, everyone fell silent.
The doctor pretended to go kill 408, but actually turned himself into a sacrifice, and then deliberately wanted Yin Xiu to kill him. So much happened in just a few minutes that no one had time to react.
Yin Xiu remained silent, while Zhong Mu immediately scrambled to his feet and kicked 408, yelling, "Just stay where you are! What are you doing getting in the way! I should have just killed you earlier!"
408 glared at Zhong Mu, "You don't know anything! How could you possibly understand such strange things! I can't live a single day without killing him!"
"Then you might as well die!" Zhong Mu cursed angrily, his voice filled with rage. "You brainless idiot, it's no wonder you've been locked up here for so long! If you had used your brain at all, you wouldn't be being cursed at like this!"
408, feeling pent-up with nowhere to vent her anger, could only glare at Zhong Mu, saying, "You just haven't experienced what I went through; you simply don't understand."
Yin Xiu, standing to the side, sighed deeply and wiped his knife. "Forget it, let's leave him alone for now. I don't know what the doctor's death triggered, but let's leave the instance first."
Zhong Mu huffed, picked up Ya Ya and ran off, not expecting 408 to follow.
Yin Xiu silently sheathed his knife, then led Li Mo away, leaving 408 standing behind, unsure whether to follow or not.
"Brother Xiu, the doctor who could point out the exit is dead. Do you remember where the exit is?" Zhong Mu turned to look at Yin Xiu, afraid that something bad had happened and wanting to leave as soon as possible.
"I don't quite remember. It was many years ago. I just remembered it and it's a bit blurry. But there's a courtyard in the psychiatric ward. Do you remember it?" Yin Xiu took out the floor plan he had found in the psychiatric treatment area from his pocket. Although the entire psychiatric ward was blacked out, the location of that courtyard was the only one that could be seen.
"Let's go there and take a look; we might find something else."
"Okay, let's hurry up and go." Zhong Mu hurriedly carried Ya Ya away, afraid that something bad would happen if they were a second late, as this instance was full of traps.
Yin Xiu nodded and pulled Li Mo along, looking at the map as they walked.
He wasn't worried about anything happening to himself; he was only worried about Li Mo.
The word "sacrifice" doesn't sound good at all, and it's more likely to be related to Li Mo. It's highly probable that this instance is pretending to target Yin Xiu, but its real purpose is to harm Li Mo.
He didn't know what Lady Ye was planning to do, but Lady Ye was a cautious and cunning woman, and her actions would definitely not end there.
Noticing that Yin Xiu was holding his hand tightly, Li Mo turned his head to look at Yin Xiu's profile.
My boyfriend seems a little nervous; it must be because of the accident just now. I need to find a way to protect him.
