Chapter Seventeen Erasing Traces

  "Wow, youre still alive?"

  It seems as if Zhao Zhu is still alive, and that he wasnt killed by those female psychiatric nurses, which is a result that shouldnt have occurred.

  However, Zhao Zhu did not dare to show too obvious dissatisfaction at this time. This person, he had seen, or rather, it was the feeling that this person brought to him, and he had felt it before, and it was just this afternoon!

  The feeling that makes you feel a chill in your body, as if a ghost is lurking around and watching you.

  This persons group ID should be "How can I be an ordinary person" in the group, and came to SZ city today to take revenge on Zhu Jianping.

  Such a tough guy, Im sure in the group, he can also be considered a mid-stream existence, and in front of him, Zhao Zhu indeed doesnt have much capital to show off.

  "Since youre still alive, then good, lead the way for me, and itll be less of a hassle."

  Li Fan said with a sense of reason, at the same time stretching out his finger and lightly pointing it at Zhao Zhu.

  A crisp "hiss" sound was heard, and Zhao Zhu suddenly felt that his back had become much heavier, and he had to bend his waist down. At the same time, a cold, wet, and slippery feeling was transmitted to the brain through the skin on his back.

  Unfortunately, Zhao Zhu didnt have any of the Cows Tear water that had been infused with the symbol on him at this time. If he had wiped it on himself, he should have been able to see a small child with a completely purple body lying on his back. The childs pupils were white, and its body had a dark blue color like a corpse, but its cheeks had an eerie red glow. This was probably a ghost infant that Li Fan had refined into a tool for him to control.

  Gradually, Zhao Zhu began to lose control of his footsteps, and he started to proactively turn around and walk forward, as if he had lost all control over his own body. Meanwhile, Li Fan followed closely behind him, even stepping on the exact same spots where Zhao Zhu had previously stepped.

  "If youre still alive after this expedition, return the things you took from Zhu Jianpings house and I might spare your life." Li Fans voice sounded behind Zhao Zhu.

  "Spare your life!"

  Zhao Zhu had already cursed in his heart, but his body had begun to be controlled by the filthy thing behind him and was no longer under his control, so he could only continue to lead the way very "obediently".

  Suddenly, Li Fan raised his hand, and Zhao Zhu in front of him also stopped moving.

  "Oh, so the node is here. This seal, although simple in design, is very intricate. If I hadnt let a living person scout ahead and discover it first, I might have already walked into that seal by now."

  Li Fan pulled out a broken tile from his bosom and threw it forward. The tile landed on the ground in front of him, but instead of shattering, it started spinning in circles. Only then did Li Fan continue walking forward, passing Zhao Zhu, and continuing to walk ahead until he suddenly vanished right before Zhao Zhus eyes!

  Zhao Zhu was certain that he hadnt blinked, but the other person had vanished right in front of him, a meter away. Along with the disappearance, the broken tiles spinning on the ground and the feeling of being oppressed on Zhao Zhus body also disappeared.

  Leaning against the wall, Zhao Zhu heavily gasped for air. The feeling of being out of control was just like being pressed down by a ghost, but even more sinister and terrifying. With a ghost pressing down on you, you want to move but cant, whereas his body had been moving involuntarily earlier.

  Zhao Zhu wanted to leave this place, and now it seems that the opportunity to escape has become even greater than before, because Li Fan came over with a clear conscience, so he should have cleaned up everything that needed to be cleared.

  Zhao Zhu covered his chest with one hand and supported himself against the wall with the other, starting to walk towards the staircase. He then began to descend the stairs, reaching the first floor where he leaned against a pillar at an angle, looking sideways at the entrance with his eyes. There, he saw over ten female psychiatric nurses bodies, each with twisted faces lying on the ground, their corpses already showing signs of decay, their deaths extremely agonizing.

  "Despicable, such ruthless means."

  Compared to making someone look like a dead man who is neither human nor ghost, Zhao Zhu thought that directly going up and stabbing the person a few times seemed more humane.

  As the female mental patient at the door had died, Zhao Zhu no longer held back, suppressing the severe pain in his chest, he mustered up his strength and ran towards the main gate. He ran out of the hospital buildings main gate, but while sprinting down the stairs, Zhao Zhu lost control of his bodys center of gravity and fell to the ground, rolling over several times. However, he quickly struggled to get back on his feet and continued running forward. This process repeated itself multiple times - falling and getting back up - but eventually, Zhao Zhu arrived at the main gate. This time, he didnt even dare to retrieve the things he had obtained from Zhu Jianping, heaven knows whether he would open the dormitory door only to inexplicably return to the hospital building again.

  Xiong Zhiqi, who was originally squatting outside the gate, saw Zhao Zhu suddenly appear in his line of sight, and immediately stood up. He then took out a string of talismans from behind his back, which looked exactly like the ones Chen Hong had used in front of Zhao Zhu before. Xiong Zhiqis palm turned bright red again, and the talismans in his hand ignited, after which he flicked his wrist, and the burning talismans began to scatter, emitting a strange fragrance.

  Zhao Zhu pushed open the hospital gate and stumbled out, but was caught by Xiong Zhiqi.

  "Its a good thing you came out, this time you really hit the jackpot. This level of paranormal event is very rare nowadays. By the way, did you see that dead fish face?"

  Zhao Zhu nodded and said: "I saw him, but he disappeared in front of me."

  "Never mind, lets not bother with him. Well leave first and get out of here. You look like youve been possessed by a ghost, we need to get something to ward off the evil spirits and lift your yang energy, or else youll fall seriously ill."

  Xiong Zhiqi seemed more experienced, he supported Zhao Zhu and walked a little further, then found an electric bike from the roadside grass, which should be Xiong Zhiqis ride.

  "Haha, cant compare with you driving a luxury car, Ive always been riding an electric bike. Come on, Ill get on first and then you sit in the back."

  The two sat in the back seat, and before driving away, Xiong Zhiqi habitually took out his phone to check the group messages. This should be a common habit for most people who enter the "Horror Web Novel" reader group. However, at this moment, Xiong Zhiqi let out a cry of surprise:

  "WTF, I was kicked out of the group by the group owner for saying Im actually a mortal."

  "Huh?" Zhao Zhuos mind was a bit dull and his thinking had become somewhat slow.

  "This means that guy just died in this hospital, damn it, how could this be? What kind of evil spirit is inside this hospital that even a low-level member like Dead Fish Face would die here? Is the inside more terrifying than the horror novel task world? Forget it, lets get out of here quickly and not stir up any more trouble, this place is too eerie."

  Xiong Zhiqi quickly started the electric car and drove away with Zhao Zhu along the road. As the electric car was moving, Zhao Zhu couldnt resist the feeling of depression and directly fell asleep on Xiong Zhiqis back.

  ……

  Zhao Zhu didnt know how long he had been asleep, but when he woke up, he found that his whole body was completely devoid of energy. Even opening his eyelids felt extremely strenuous. It took him a while to regain the ability to think after waking up like this. His other bodily parts also transmitted aching sensations, but at least he could feel something again.

  This is a very simple single bed, this is not a big but looks very messy room, next to Zhao Zhus bed, Xiong Zhiqi sat in front of a small table tapping on the keyboard, as if chatting with someone online, seeing Zhao Zhu woke up, Xiong Zhiqi finally let out a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you woke up, youve been unconscious for four or five days, if you didnt wake up, I was really afraid that after I was transported into the horror web novel task world, you would starve to death here."

  "Thank you."

  "No need to thank me, youve already paid me." Xiong Zhiqi was nonchalant, and then he tapped on the computer, turning the screen towards Zhao Zhuo, saying: "This is really getting out of hand. The location of that hospital of yours has been mysteriously designated as a key military isolation zone. All the people in the hospital, whether patients or doctors and nurses, have had their records erased. Their existence has been completely wiped out, including you. Your personnel file and past academic records have all been deleted, its as if youve been declared a non-person."

  "Is this done by the government?"

  "Yeah, apart from the government, who else could have that kind of power to do such a thing? I reckon those people with connections were also arranged for, like their relatives and friends, those with close relationships would all be migrated to other places, thoroughly breaking off these peoples network of relationships, making this region, this hospital, completely hidden from the public eye."

  "How could this be......" Zhao Zhu was somewhat disbelieving.

  "This is also normal, there has been a rumor circulating in the group that one of our administrators is actually a high-ranking official from the government who specializes in researching supernatural phenomena. He has quite a bit of power and even people like dead fish face are under his control in that hospital. In order to prevent this thing from claiming more lives and causing greater destruction and panic, its completely normal for the government to use its power to isolate it first."

  "What am I supposed to do in the future? Cant even buy train or plane tickets?" Zhao Zhu said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  "Hey, you dont have to worry about this? Lets not mention that fake ID stuff"

  Its just a matter of time, as long as you can get through the following tasks more than 5 times. After being strengthened for 5 rounds, to put it in an ancient costume drama: "The world is so big, where cant you go? Who can stop you?"
