"Hey…Are you okay?" Doctor Lu saw that Qi Le Ren was just sitting on the ground with a blank expression on his face, so he stepped forward and tapped his shoulder.

This single tap made Qi Le Ren's entire body twitch severely, and the intensity of his reaction was alarming; it like his soul still hadn't returned, and he looked around, frightened and dazed. Doctor Lu was completely taken aback, he softened his voice, "Are you okay?"

For now, Qi Le Ren gradually breathed in and out. He was in a state of extreme stress after falling weightlessly from the building and having witnessed that scene at the same time; it seemed like he would immediately collapse if he even took one step.

Seeing that the three of them were watching him with concern in their eyes, Qi Le Ren said with a pale face, "Let's get out of here first."

The four people returned to the stairwell, and following Doctor Lu's lead, they soon found a secluded office. Su He then poured him a cup of warm water, sat directly in front of him, and bluntly asked, "What did you see?"

Qi Le Ren suddenly raised his head. Facing Su He's strikingly handsome face, he didn't know what to say for a long time.

"A lot of…" Qi Le Ren was trying to find a way to express what he saw, and Su He didn't press him; he gently gazed at him, waiting for him to straighten out his mind.

Qi Le Ren took a deep breath, then went on to describe the horrifying image he saw. "There were so many ghosts. They were all standing on the ground close together, and they stared at me as I fell down…Their smile was weird, creepy, like they were certain I'd join them and become one of them."

"It's alright, you're already safe." Su He placed his hand on top of Qi Le Ren's hand and comforted him.

It was probably because Su He's voice was very gentle that it naturally was able to soothe his heart. Qi Le Ren was finally able to shake off that horrific scene from his mind. Now that he was relatively calm, he was able to state a complete sentence without any problems, "Aren't you surprised? I obviously fell down from the roof, but I returned safe and sound."

Su He smiled, "A little, but that's not as important as you being safe. Thank you for saving me."

Qi Le Ren foolishly stared at him for a moment, the tip of his ears became hot and flushed red.

It was only after Su He and Doctor Lu began discussing the causes of the fog that Qi Le Ren snapped out of his daze and stopped admiring Su He's beauty. He suddenly felt glad that he was as straight as an arrow; if he was just a little curved, he wouldn't be able to hold back and would be hooked. For instance, look at Xue Ying Ying. She completely forgot about her sc.u.m ex-boyfriend; she just sat at the desk, propped her chin on her hand, and lovingly stared at Mr. Handsome1.

"Ahem, it's actually because of skill cards." In order to hide his embarra.s.sment, Qi Le Ren took the initiative to remove his skill card from the slot and explain.

"I have one too. It's nothing much, but it raises a bit of my luck." Doctor Lu said.

Xue Ying Ying was somewhat restless, she didn't know whether she should talk about her skill card, but she somehow didn't want to reveal any of her embarra.s.sing private moments to her favorite, handsome man in front. At last, she vaguely stated, "My strength increases while I'm bleeding and in pain."

"You all have one?" Su He appeared to be somewhat surprised as he looked to the three people; he gave a helpless, wry smile, "It seems I don't have one…"

"It's fine, it's okay. I think you're supposed to trigger some sort of achievement or side quest2 and then you'll get it. It's only been a few hours right now, so maybe you'll get it later." Doctor Lu rea.s.sured.

"What do we do now?" Qi Le Ren asked, "Should we look for survivors in the hospital?"

"So it wasn't just a few of us who came to this place?" Xue Ying Ying was deeply worried3.

"So far, at least six victims have been killed; plus, there's the murderer and the four of us, which means that there were at least eleven people in the hospital, but the numbers are most likely higher." Su He slightly frowned, "Based on the quest, we have to survive until dawn…The sky is dark now, and there's still about twelve hours left until dawn arrives. Anyone have any plans?"

Everyone looked back and forth between each other, no one could make up their minds.

Doctor Lu was silent for a long time, then he hesitantly announced, "I want to go to the blood bank."

"Blood bank?"

"Well, now that we're certain human blood has an effect on ghosts, if another ghost appears, we can attack. The ghosts seem to be afraid of blood, though we just don't know the reason why…But I'd like to give it a try. If blood plasma4 is useful then at least we won't have to keep bleeding in the middle of the night." Doctor Lu prudently stated.

"So on the rooftop, you just needed me to put some blood on the ghost? I'm sorry, I couldn't quite catch that at the moment." Su He said in guilt, then he looked back at Qi Le Ren, "Does your tongue still hurt? I saw that you sprayed out a lot of blood that time."

"It's no problem. After loading, the wounds aren't there anymore." Being gazed at so tenderly gave Qi Le Ren an inexplicable sense of pressure, so he hastily tried to explain.

"That's good to hear," Su He said with a smile, "That's great…"

The sky was completely dark, but fortunately, the hospital was always bright day and night. Qi Le Ren and his company left the office where they temporarily stayed, and followed Doctor Lu to the blood bank.

"My skill will stop taking effect soon, I believe we only have until we reach the blood bank." Doctor Lu was rather nervous.

Anyone who was aware that a killer was in the same building as them would feel on edge, not to mention, they still had to walk around in this building, trying to avoid any disasters.

"We have four people with us, if we really do encounter him, we can just fight. Then all our problems will be solved." Xue Ying Ying optimistically stated after measuring their current strength.

Doctor Lu and Qi Le Ren glanced at each other, their mouths indicated how bitter they were feeling.

Xue Ying Ying has never seen the killer, which was why she could be so positive about it. She didn't understand how traumatic and stressful it was to face a homicidal maniac who didn't put human lives in his heart.

Imagine a normal human being living in a society ruled by law. When fighting, he does not intend to actually kill the other person. However, when it comes down it, there is a huge difference between a person who truly holds thoughts of killing another person and person who does not intend to kill.

"Let's be careful for now, since there have already been six victims." Su He said; he turned his head to Xue Ying Ying and chuckled, "You're a brave girl, quite remarkable."

Xue Ying Ying stared dumbly at his face; her face flushed and she giggled idiotically.

Doctor Lu couldn't help but roll his eyes and give a look of contempt. Ah, being handsome sure is everything. Even in this scary environment, picking up hot chicks is just so easy and natural5.

The four people arrived at the blood bank in an instant. Doctor Lu walked in with the others, then went around the room seven or eight times. Thereafter, his left hand held a bag of packed red blood cells, and his right hand held a package of blood plasma, "Do you think that the blood components that are effective against ghosts lie with the concentrated red blood cells or the blood plasma?"

Xue Ying Ying pondered for a long while; according to her limited experience, she guaranteed, "…I'm sure it's the great aunt6."

The three men: "… … …"

Qi Le Ren had a headache; he questioned, "Is there no whole blood7?"

"It's been a long time, now there are only blood components; you'll need to do it yourself if you want it." Doctor Lu spread out his hands as spoke.

Su He stared at the two bags of blood plasma; all of a sudden, he said, "Have you ever wondered why the killer kept killing people?"

This question made the three people, who were confronting the issue regarding the blood components, freeze in shock.

"Because he is a killer…" Doctor Lu muttered, "He was put in jail because of serial homicide. I heard he killed over a dozen of people throughout the entire country in just a few years."

Su He sat on the table and contemplated. "You said 'in a few years'. That means he must not have killed people out of pleasure or violence so recklessly; he carefully prepared for each murder. But here, he has changed his killing habits—no, I suppose he retains some. He still leaves marks after each murder, and he still dismembers the body into several pieces, it should be his preferred manner of killing, part of his former habits when committing murder."

"If he wanted to catch people off guard before he killed them, he wouldn't use such an obvious weapon like the chainsaw, and he would also change his clothes to fit this environment. That way, he could easily get closer to his victims and kill them when they least expect it. Unless…" Su He paused and swept a glance at the three people.

Doctor Lu swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Unless he plans for his victims to struggle in desperation and in fear as they're killed, or maybe he just enjoys it."

The atmosphere was heavy. Xue Ying Ying s.h.i.+vered, "Seriously sick."

"So, I wonder; perhaps fresh blood, filled with fear and anger, has better effects on ghosts? This is the only possibility I can think of right now." Su He said.

"Fresh?" Doctor Lu mumbled. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Qi Le Ren.

"Hey…what's up with that look?" Qi Le Ren shook.

"Ah, Le Ren, it's all up to you." Doctor Lu patted him on the shoulder. "When your cooling time ends, make sure to give us some blood."

"Can I refuse?" Qi Le Ren struggled against the decision.

"Haha."

1帅哥—Lit: Handsome elder brother. It just means handsome guy, lady-killer, etc. I used 'Mr. Handsome' this time around.
2Original actually said "branch" which is basically the secondary plot/quest in a story/game. But I'm not sure what the actual gaming term is…
3忧心忡忡—Deeply worried and sick at heart (Idiom)
4Portion of blood, color is yellow, normally donated. Here's a to explain it.
5如鱼得水—"Like fish back in water" (Idiom). Meaning, something in one's element
6Euphemism/Slang for “period/menstruation”
7When he says 'whole blood' he means the full pack, not solely the concentrated red blood cells (that have no plasma) or the blood plasma (without the white & red blood cells). He wants a bag with every component.

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day, all! And also, Happy Lunar New Year (Eve)!!! ^^~

Unfortunately, it’s not EIC, but NG! To add, I'll probably not update anything for the next couple of days…Probably…

Oh! But have I mentioned that I just love Su He? No? Well, I do. And I also love QLR, XYY, and, of course, our smol Dr. Lu.  ^^
