Chapter 13 - Classification

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After clarifying the objective of the task, Reese first looked at the categories marked on the shelves, which were mainly divided into two major categories of medicine—vitamins and sedatives, along with a small section for sleep aids.

There were more than a hundred different names that needed to be memorized. The second step was to categorize the medicines that needed to be placed on the shelves according to the categories she had observed earlier, as this would save a lot of time. Finally, she would then arrange each bottle neatly on the shelves.

Reese took about an hour to sort through most of the medicines and organize them onto the shelves accordingly.

If others were to find out about this, they would definitely be astounded. Currently, the best record was for being able to categorize all the medicines just barely within the given time period. The difficulty lay not only in having to read plenty of words to classify them but also in having to memorize their names so that it would be more efficient when arranging them.

Furthermore, there were all kinds of strange names for many of the medicines. Sometimes, the difference of just one word would mean another type of medicine altogether.

Nevertheless, for a medical student like Reese, this was not a challenge at all. She managed to complete it without even breaking a sweat.

However, Reese did not leave. Instead, she ventured into the area that the werebear nurse had specifically warned her about—the depths of the pharmacy. That might be a forbidden place for others, but it felt more like home for her.

Actually, not only had King mentioned that this psychiatric hospital was more than what met the eyes, but Reese actually believed the same as well. There were too many inexplicable things about this hospital.

Reese believed that if she could uncover more information, she would be able to understand the special characteristics of this hospital, find loopholes, and discover an actual way to get out.

She wanted to find some medicinal drugs to be used for self-defense in the case of an emergency. But just as she was heading deeper inside, she heard the door open.

She became on full alert, turning back to stare intently at the door.

The hospital staff wouldn’t be coming in so early, as they would definitely have followed the designated timing to come in for the final check.

So… if it wasn’t the hospital staff, then it was most likely someone with ill intentions.

Therefore, Reese immediately hid between two shelves, looking through the gaps between the bottles to observe the person who came in.

When she saw the face of the intruder, she was only half-surprised.

It turned out to be her old ‘friends’—the werecrocodiles who had wanted to use food to coerce her into sleeping with them.

She was surprised because King had only just said that they weren’t anything good, and would definitely find trouble with her again, but she hadn’t expected that to happen so soon. On the other hand, she was only half-surprised because she had already believed what he said. After all, he had never truly meant her any harm, and even often tried to protect her.

Although he had taken some advantage of her, he still had a good heart.

This time, these werecrocrodiles seemed to have smartened up, as they did not reveal their true intentions the moment they stepped in. Instead, they crept in quietly, not intending to alert anyone.

This way, even if they managed to commit their evil deeds, no one would find out, as there were no surveillance cameras in the room, hence there would be no evidence left behind.

She couldn’t help but let out another sigh, as it turned out that King was indeed right! Reese hadn’t actually expected that these werecrocodiles, whom she had thought were cowards who were only all talk, would actually do such bad things!

According to Reese’s observation, this pharmacy had only one door. The three crocodiles had begun their thorough search, starting from the door. With their speed, they would find her in less than a minute. If they were to face head-on, it would be too difficult for a human like her to fight against the three of them.

Thus, Reese did not consider using force at all. Only by using her wits would she have a chance of survival.

The three crocodile men continued to search inwards, narrowing in on a smaller area. Reese could also hear what they were saying.

“Babe, I’ll help you clean this up.”

“Look at the mess here. Do you need me to feed you something before you can continue working?”

Reese would be lying if she said that she wasn’t anxious in the face of such a situation. Their obscene words sounded closer and closer to her.

She forced herself to calm down, suddenly remembering that she had already pocketed some medicine. At the moment, the werecrocodiles happened to be searching the shelves with the sedatives. However, if she simply charged at them, she was sure that she would not be able to inject the tranquilizers into them before they reacted and caught her

Fortunately, there was a shelf of sleep aids in front of her. It would be great if she could find one that could be atomized quickly. In a moment of desperation, Reese could only move backward softly as her eyes quickly swept across the many bottles of drugs. Just as those werecrocodiles were gradually closing in on her, her eyes lit up!

The medicine in front of her was the sleeping incense powder that had just been released a year ago, which could help people to fall asleep quickly. However, because the powder was easily scattered and had a certain level of toxicity, it was taken off the shelves not long after it appeared in the galaxy. Those that had already been sold were also recalled. To her surprise, there was still some stock of it here.

Which turned out to be a great help for Reese..
