Chapter 218, Clinic Room 6
“I know, I didn’t mean it.” Ji Xingyi was surprised that Jiang Lin would get nervous because of that sentence: “I was just joking.”
"I won't abandon you." Jiang Lin knew that Ji Xingyi's words were a joke, but hearing them felt like a knife cutting into his flesh, making him very uncomfortable.
In the past, I always wanted to possess people, regardless of the means. But now, the more I care about someone, the more I care about their feelings.
“If you want to save Lu Xingtong, I’ll help you,” Jiang Lin said earnestly, gripping Ji Xingyi’s hand tightly.
“Linlin,” Ji Xingyi frowned, “I want to save her, but it’s not something I have to do.”
Jiang Lin looked confused.
Ji Xingyi intertwined her fingers with Jiang Lin's: "Your life is my life. I'm also selfish; I don't want anything to happen to you."
Ji Xingyi never let his guard down in the Yellow Springs instance just because he had obtained the power of the ghosts and gods; Jiang Lin's safety was always his top priority.
If Lu Xingtong can't be saved, then so be it.
Ji Xingyi: "I don't owe Lin Rui'an anything."
The elevator display screen shows "-1".
With a "ding," the elevator doors slowly opened.
The dimly lit passage slowly appeared before the two of them, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The surrounding decoration style is exactly the same as upstairs. Perhaps because it doesn't get sunlight, the ground floor is noticeably colder and more gloomy, giving people a sense of unfamiliarity as if they have entered another space.
Ji Xingyi stepped out of the elevator first and onto the red carpet, followed closely by Jiang Lin, who was unaware of any danger at the moment.
The two proceeded cautiously, their gaze drawn to the oil painting at the end of the passage.
"The Little Mermaid." Ji Xingyi mouthed silently.
The red-haired, blue-tailed mermaid in the oil painting is exactly like Wang Liang's description of the mermaid princess in the game.
The two stopped in front of an oil painting at the end of the passage, looking in opposite directions. The lighting became even dimmer, and Jiang Lin randomly chose the left side, while the two continued forward.
Soon, a room came into view. The room had a high-security keypad door, requiring a card to enter. The sign on the door read "Sixth Clinic Room".
However, there was a glass window on the door of the room. Jiang Lin looked into the room and saw eight hospital beds, but only one of them was occupied by a long-haired girl.
The girl had her back to the door, and judging from her silhouette alone, it was impossible to tell if it was Lu Xingtong. Ji Xingyi pushed the door, but when she found it wouldn't open, she prepared to break it down by force, but Jiang Lin stopped her.
“The power of the Red Water is now part of your body; you can try to use this power more meticulously,” Jiang Lin reminded him.
“Teach me.” Ji Xingyi had only recently received the inheritance, and his control over the power was far inferior to Jiang Lin’s.
Jiang Lin pointed to the door lock: "This kind of mechanical lock cylinder only requires turning the internal gears."
If they damage the door, it will be immediately noticed. Otherwise, they have a chance to continue hiding.
Ji Xingyi understood immediately, releasing blood vessels from his fingertips, which then seeped into the mechanical lock cylinder through the crack in the door.
In less than five seconds, he found the key gear to unlock the door. With a slight twitch of his fingertip, a soft click was heard. The keypad door to the sixth examination room was open!
After the two entered quietly, Ji Xingyi stood guard at the door while Jiang Lin walked towards the girl.
All the students wore the same school uniform, and this person's figure was similar to Lu Xingtong's. Jiang Lin wanted to see her face, but the girl's face was covered by her hair, so Jiang Lin reached out to the girl.
Just as his fingertips were a centimeter away from the girl's body, the girl on the bed suddenly moved, abruptly grabbing Jiang Lin's arm and leaping off the bed with the force of thunder, her right hand holding a silver blade directly to Jiang Lin's neck.
Jiang Lin immediately gave Ji Xingyi a look, and Ji Xingyi paused.
When the girl saw that Jiang Lin was also wearing a school uniform, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still held Jiang Lin down tightly, threatening Ji Xingyi not to come any closer: "Don't move!"
"Are you a player?" Jiang Lin looked the girl up and down.
The girl's appearance was not the same as Lu Xingtong's. Lu Xingtong had a gentle and graceful appearance, while the girl in front of her had a more aloof and cold look.
"You're players too?" The girl frowned. "Weren't you captured here?"
She heard the door open and assumed it was the waiter with the red nameplate coming in to do something to her, so she lay in wait, ready to retaliate when the opportunity arose. Unexpectedly, she encountered two players.
Facing the knife to his neck, Jiang Lin showed no fear, even revealing a gentle smile: "We're here to find someone. You look a lot like her, so I mistook you for her."
"Looks a lot like her?" The girl pondered for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Is her name Lu Xingtong?"
Jiang Lin: "Have you met Lu Xingtong?"
The girl nodded in agreement.
Ji Xingyi said coldly, "Can you let him go now?"
"No way!" the girl retorted sharply. "Players can collude with NPCs too? Who knows if you're lying to me!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing had an idea.
The girl who was originally suppressing Jiang Lin was suddenly bound by blood tentacles.
The immense force instantly pulled the girl upwards.
"Ah!" the girl screamed, and in the blink of an eye, she was bound by blood tentacles and suspended in mid-air!
"Girls should be gentler," Jiang Lin said with a smile.
The girl started with zero frames: "If you want maternal love, go home and breastfeed your mom!"
Jiang Lin's smile froze, a rare occurrence.
That scolding came so suddenly!
The girl's appearance was clearly aloof, but when she started cursing, it gave the impression of a split personality.
Ji Xingyi's face turned cold, and his blood tentacles suddenly tightened, pulling the girl's body into a U-shape with her legs and arms pointing upwards and her abdomen downwards!
The girl's face contorted in pain, and she tried to scream, but the blood tentacles quickly silenced her.
Jiang Lin smiled and scolded Ji Xingyi, "You should be gentler with girls. How can you be so rough?"
Ji Xingyi sighed inwardly: I'm being so gentle, but you don't want it.
Jiang Lin gestured to Ji Xingyi to release the girl's mouth.
Girl: "You!"
"If you don't want to die, speak like a human!" Ji Xingyi anticipated that the girl would start with zero frames again and coldly reminded her.
Jiang Lin found the girl quite interesting: "What's your name?"
The girl looked at the two of them, bit her lip, and answered angrily, "Liu Li."
Jiang Lin checked the ID "Liu Li" on his phone and, after confirming that this person existed, continued to ask, "Where is Lu Xingtong?"
Liu Li: "I don't know. I only spoke a few words to her when I arrived here, and then she was taken away by the red nameplate."
Jiang Lin: "When?"
Liu Li: "My phone was confiscated, it's been about an hour, hasn't it?"
"Besides Lu Xingtong, have you ever seen someone named Huang Guanjie?" Ji Xingyi described Huang Guanjie's appearance.
Liu Li: "No, when I arrived, she was all alone."
Liu Li's tone was very decisive, and Jiang Lin did not find any trace of lying on her face.
Just then, Jiang Lin keenly caught the "ding" sound.
This is the sound of the elevator arriving at the basement level and the doors opening.
