Chapter 217 - Insider

The eyes of the possessed man turned to Liu Xiaodan, and the ghost inside shuddered uncontrollably. This man was a lot more fearful than his King. Since it was given the chance to run, it dashed out of Min Ye. Its body even looked like it was made of paper softly blowing in the wind. The ghost ran to the other side, but it spotted Guangru at the corner of its eye.

It ran past them, but it felt its body wriggle as it got past the landing. Boom! The head exploded, and the ghost died and splattered its faded blood all over the stairs. Since it was already out of sight, none of them bothered with it. Only Guangru went to fetch the red seed that it snatched from inside Min Ye's body.

Liu Xiaodan carried Min Ye back to his bed, and Nurse Miao operated the machine. She quickly intubated the man again as if racing against his impending death. However, in the end, the body was already dead. Nurse Miao could only c.a.r.e.s.s the head of the man. She turned to Liu Xiaodan who glared at the scene. "That thing must have deprived Old Ye of oxygen. His lungs had collapsed already, and he needed the machine to breathe..."

She then left the bed and tried to open the cabinet to get fresh sheets to wrap Min Ye in. She couldn't leave his body out in the open like this. Liu Xiaodan had seen someone do the wrapping in a set before so he could help Nurse Miao with it. However, his eyes were still very heavy.

"...I'm sorry, Xiaodan," Nurse Miao spoke. She figured those people on the fourth floor had grown on Liu Xiaodan already despite the short stay he had with them. To see them pass away like this? "I should tell Nurse Yun. If only I could contact him, it would have been better."

"Nurse Yun's dead." Liu Xiaodan murmured. He only heard Guangru say it, but he knew someone as cold and hateful as Wu Zhong would be able to pull the trigger just like that. Moreover, it felt real. If he wasn't dead, he would probably be running around—either looking for Liu Xiaodan or making sure everything was okay for the people on the fourth floor. Now that Nurse Miao said he couldn't be contacted at such juncture…

Nurse Miao was shocked. She then stared at Liu Xiaodan with her quivering eyes. Then, the nurse sobbed into her hand. The woman then sniffed and still covered Min Ye with a blanket despite the wrapping. "What got him?"

Liu Xiaodan raised his eyes at the nurse. "Some big shot known as Mr. Wu…"

The woman then narrowed her eyes. "I don't know anyone by that name, but if he's known with a vague name like that, that only means he's one of the stakeholders of the facility. For him to kill a nurse freely…?" She then shook her head. "I can't help you more than this… but… can I take a look at your other friend? He looked hurt."

"Please."

Liu Xiaodan walked out of the room and let the nurse close the door. She then ran to the other room and used her key card to open it. She had also heard that a patient was inside. Nurse Miao hurriedly went to check up on Meng Guo as Liu Xiaodan flipped the lights on. The room seemed to be designed to hold patients that would soon receive the red seed. Could it be that Meng Guo already had something inside her?

Guangru entered along with Nine and Mian Qingtao. The two put Li Feng on the bed and sat on the floor. At last, they were able to take a break from the dangers. The glass door closed from Guangru's pull, and the lock automatically engaged. That way, they wouldn't be attacked by anything that just decided to jump out of nowhere.

Nurse Miao left Meng Guo on the floor to check up on Li Feng. Liu Xiaodan then went close to her and sat down next to her. "Sorry about earlier. Your voice couldn't reach me."

"You're an a.s.s for pretending not to see me." Meng Guo, however, still embraced the man as if she was looking for something warm to ease her fear. It's just that she pulled back slowly; this man was actually like a cold, dead body. "Those scary things from outside wanted to eat me."

"No, they wanted this…" Guangru walked next to the woman and reached inside her body. It shocked and scared Meng Guo, but the child had already taken out the red seed. He then popped it inside his mouth like it was candy. He then ran to Nine. "Mister, Mister… what's your name?"

"...my name?" Nine received strange gazes from Nurse Miao and Meng Guo. The men had been together so they thought these men knew one another. For them not to know his name?

It was actually Meng Guo who asked the question Liu Xiaodan was waiting for. The woman pointed at the child. "Wait, why is a child here? I've never seen a child here. I thought they're not allowed here in the facility."

Nurse Miao actually looked down at the child who looked straight at her eyes. 'This child...'

She then sighed as she concluded her check on Li Feng. "He's not a normal child. He's actually—" Nurse Miao then paused as her words resounded in her head first before she spoke. She turned to Guangru and had a gaze filled with pity. She then passed the gaze onto Liu Xiaodan. "Does he know about Nurse Yun?"

"…I do." Guangru's expression changed for a split-second. He then tugged on the soldier again, but his words were for the female nurse. "That's why I broke the maze. I figured that, even if I can't kill Mr. Wu, I must be able to destroy what he treasured the most—this facility."

His mouth then broke into a malevolent grin. "Isn't that what Big Brother Feng's Daddy thinks, too?"

Nine twitched. The demon actually knew about Li Feng's father? Wait… he… the child knew about their plan?! His body trembled under the ghostly gaze of the demon child as he recalled the phases of the plan. There was no way things would be so smooth if no one was helping them from inside. Even the doctor joked that they did have an insider, but it's just a small child.

Of course, no one believed him. There was no child in this facility no matter what Jiu Yuanli said. Moreover, no one from the Qiao family would dare betray them. Also, the doctors and nurses from this place wouldn't even have enough clearance to all places to ensure the plan. If there was an insider, this person might as well be the owner of the facility with the kind of clearance they had.

To think that a demon child… Jiu Yuanli was talking to a demon child? Did he even know it was a demon child?

Nine then cleared his throat as he looked at Liu Xiaodan. "I'm called Du Zhuozhi, and Mr. Li did send us here to sabotage the facility."
