Chapter 191 - Play a Little Game

"T-Tampered?!" Li Feng had more questions, but Fan Meiling took out a syringe and skillfully stabbed Li Feng with it. Whatever was inside had an instant effect, and Li Feng crashed to the table. Fan Meiling tossed the used syringe on the table before placing another capped syringe next to Mian Qingtao's arm.

She kicked Li Feng off of his seat and sat down before leaning on the table, her loose fist supporting her head. Mian Qingtao only looked at the syringe and sighed.

…

The creaky wheelchair bothered Ruan Jin and reminded him of that low-quality wheelchair Chuan Nayi had in the hospital. However, he shouldn't even think of Chuan Nayi right now because he himself didn't know where he was and how his body became like this. It didn't look like he broke anything… his body just wouldn't respond unless he forced it so badly.

Yun He rolled him inside the room, and the support group was there. It's just that they seemed to be missing four people based on the count of chairs. The nurse gripped at the handle tightly as the patients weren't even allowed to finish the session first before being taken away from their comfort place. However, he couldn't do anything for now. Hopefully, soon… they would listen to his wishes.

The nurse placed Ruan Jin at his spot and ended up taking away the chairs that reminded everyone that their three… fallen comrades. Yun He then sat on his designated chair and looked at the faces of the people in the smaller circle. "...how are you guys sleeping at night? Things had been… quite scary these days."

"It's just a little scarier now because we're becoming more aware..." Chen Anna tucked her hair behind her ear. "No one will really leave this facility, and everyone we meet will soon be gone. None of us believed Wanwan when she said we're all going to die, and we all pushed our hopes to Xiaodan. Right now, not only Old Ye, but even Xiaodan and three others have disappeared."

She lifted her eyes and chuckled dryly at Ruan Jin. Based on the curvature of the bandages on his face, he seemed to be young just like Liu Xiaodan. However, it's not like being young made them immune to the treatment. "You're very lucky to survive an accident, but you're very unlucky to be sent here instead. Do you remember what happened to you? Do you remember what kind of ghost did this to you?"

Ruan Jin only blinked once.

"Oh, how unfortunate. We all have been burdened by ghosts and our experiences. However, Xiaodan took those things away… with him, and now, we have no idea what is happening to him." Chen Anna rubbed her arms. "He's so young… but he's sick in the head even if he's helpful and true to his word. It's almost as if that he enjoyed this world rather than the one everyone else would choose."

Blink. Blink. Blink.

Yun He caught Ruan Jin glaring at Chen Anna, trying to blink once at an interval. However, he had no method of casually making noise so he could only wait for her to notice. The nurse then shifted in his seat, not feeling good about this patient. He had read the file, and the identity felt really shady. Ruan Jin's description didn't seem to fit the person sitting with them in the group.

"Do you think you can agree with someone like that easily, Jin?" Chen Anna finally turned to Ruan Jin. Blink-blink. Blink-blink. Blink-blink. "Hm? Jin?"

Ruan Jin's mouth opened a little, but he couldn't really cuss out. Too much blinking and anger had watered his eyes, that he felt like he was crying. He then saw Yun He helped out with his tears. However, the nurse whispered to him very softly: "You don't have to worry about Xiaodan. Just try to stay here without causing trouble… because I won't be able to handle it if I had to lie to Xiaodan and hide the death of his friend at the same time..."

Since Ruan Jin's face was covered, they couldn't see the contortions his face just did. All they saw was he started glaring at Yun He and his fingers somewhat clawed at the chair. The nurse only smiled and moved to sit back down. Ruan Jin finally moved his gaze away from the nurse and then to the people in the support group.

When they wore their worried faces, that's the only time Ruan Jin forgot about Yun He and remembered what Tang Liang said. These people didn't particularly say anything good about Liu Xiaodan, but they were all dependent on him. Perhaps their very presence reminded Liu Xiaodan of his friends and how defenseless they were against some things.

'You don't have to worry about Xiaodan. Just try to stay here without causing trouble… because I won't be able to handle it if I had to lie to Xiaodan and hide the death of his friend at the same time…'

Yun He's words echoed in his mind, and Ruan Jin suddenly thought of his current situation. If the people of the facility could do this to him casually and even let ten people be fed to the Kings, he had no guarantee of actually surviving should he attracted the ire of the people in the facility. Even if it was infuriating, he had to remain in this silently. However, he still wanted to know things…

Ruan Jin stared at Yun He, and the nurse only smiled. However, the smile was not only filled with pity. It felt a little reassuring, and so Ruan Jin decided to trust the nurse even if he wasn't supposed to trust anyone else in this place. In the end, only Ruan Jin's mind was noisy.

"Let's play a little game." Yun He decided to dispel the rather gloomy mood of the group. "Since Jin can only respond with 'yes' or 'no', let's try to guess the things he likes… his interests, hobbies, and favorites. Of course, you have to say something about your question as well. Like, if I ask Jin if he likes movies, I will have to say which movie I enjoyed the most. Of course, it's only because I guessed it right. Who would like to start?"

"M-Me! I want to try!" One of the older patients raised a hand halfway his head. "Jin, do you prefer older women? There are so many young girls in this place, but no alluring m.a.t.u.r.e ladies!"

Yun He darted his eyes at that man, and Ruan Jin only closed his eyes and almost scrunching his face in a blatant 'no'. It was because he was reminded of the two-faced Qiao Yun. The other patients started to laugh at Ruan Jin's reaction while the older woman in the group took her slipper and lightly hit the guy with it. It was strange, but it was the first time they had quite a cheery start.

If only everyone was there to see it…
