Xiao Xueyin’s gaze sharpened. He didn’t recognize the man at the elevator door, but at this time of night rushing to wait for the elevator, he was most likely a death fighter.
He decisively decided to strike first.
Without a word, he gripped the short knife in his hand and chopped straight at the opponent’s head.
Pa~
The Chang Tiger raised his left hand and grabbed the blade of the short knife.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xueyin’s pupils contracted slightly, and a strong sense of unease immediately surged in his heart.
He exerted force with his arm, trying to pull out the short knife, but the short knife gripped by that flesh palm remained completely still.
Such great strength!
Xiao Xueyin didn’t hesitate at all, released the short knife, and kicked toward the Chang Tiger’s abdomen.
Bang!
His back slammed hard onto the ground, shaking Xiao Xueyin so much that he couldn’t help but dry heave a little.
“Pretty quick reaction.”
The Chang Tiger tossed the short knife aside and commented indifferently.
Not giving up resistance, Xiao Xueyin took a deep breath and held it, propping his hands on the ground and spinning his legs like a Thomas full rotation, planning to force the opponent back this way.
“What’s the situation upstairs now? ‘Smiling Face’ is still alive, right?”
While inquiring for intelligence, the Chang Tiger blocked in front of him with his arm. After the dull sound of flesh colliding, he actually forcibly stopped Xiao Xueyin’s spinning leg attack.
Seeing that the opponent had no intention of answering, he lifted his foot and stomped heavily on Xiao Xueyin’s chest.
The Chang Tiger’s attack was powerful and heavy, making Xiao Xueyin feel as if he had been hit head-on by a truck, with all the bones in his chest shattered.
“I’ll give you three more seconds to consider.”
The Chang Tiger exerted force underfoot, crushing down.
Xiao Xueyin’s face flushed red, and he couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt.
“Tch.”
The Chang Tiger curled his lip: “Forget it, I’ll go up and see for myself.”
Before the words had even finished, his left hand abruptly tore open, countless flesh strips shuttled and entangled, finally condensing into a massive bone blade with two strange eyeballs.
“Parasitic organism?!”
Xiao Xueyin even suspected he had seen wrong.
“Oh, you mean Little Tiger? It was quite unwilling at first.”
The Chang Tiger grinned, slowly raising his left hand.
The bone blade slashed down, eliminating Xiao Xueyin on the spot. From beginning to end, he hadn’t had time to wear his title.
……
“My God, what the hell are you doing? Do you know what time it is?!”
On the other end of the phone, Xu Qiang’s voice was full of resentment, clearly his morning temper hadn’t subsided.
“No one wanted something like this to happen.”
Lu Bai sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, replying calmly.
He glanced at Yao Yi on the neighboring bed. Probably due to his severe injuries, Yao Yi was sleeping like a baby; even with all the commotion in the corridor, it didn’t wake him.
After quickly venting, Xu Qiang asked seriously: “So what’s the exact situation on your end right now?”
“Not too optimistic. A lot of parasitic organisms came to the hospital tonight. I suspect the mayor is making a move against me.”
Lu Bai stated confidently.
He knew the truth better than anyone, but that didn’t stop him from first throwing a black pot at the mayor.
“And the commotion is quite big. There should already be quite a few patients who called the police. You need to act fast; I’m worried the police side might have some backup from the mayor.”
“Don’t rush. I haven’t removed you from your position yet. If the police arrive, step forward and control the situation first. I’m on my way.”
Xu Qiang climbed out of bed, tilting his head to hold the mobile phone, and grumbled while getting dressed.
“Then you better hurry. The police are already here.”
Through the dense gaps in the blinds, he could see flashing red and blue lights, mixed with loud siren sounds.
Lu Bai walked to the window and glanced out, seeing about seven or eight police cars below the inpatient department, with more police forces probably rushing over later.
It seemed a fair number of patients had called the police.
“Holy shit!!!”
Before Lu Bai could turn back, he heard Yao Yi let out a hysterical scream.
“Hiss…”
This time his reaction was too intense, pulling at his wound and causing him to suck in a sharp breath.
Lu Bai turned around and said mildly: “Don’t panic first.”
Yao Yi trembled and shrank on the hospital bed. Even with low visibility in the room, it was clear his complexion was very pale.
It really couldn’t be blamed on him for overreacting; he had just never encountered a situation like this.
Anyone waking up groggily from sleep and immediately seeing a pile of corpses right in front of them would have an extreme reaction.
He wanted to catch his breath to ease his tension, but was immediately stimulated by the thick bloody smell, causing a wave of nausea.
However, if nothing else, after this ordeal, his lingering sleepiness had vanished without a trace.
In terms of refreshing, the effect was outstanding.
Yao Yi said intermittently: “This… these people, what, what’s going on?”
“Don’t worry, these are all parasitic organisms.”
Lu Bai walked over and patted his shoulder.
Parasitic organisms again?
Hearing this all-purpose excuse, Yao Yi’s eyelids twitched.
……
“Found an unconscious nurse in the elevator. Vital signs stable.”
“Found a deceased person on the fifth floor.”
“Found the two missing security personnel in the first-floor restroom, confirmed dead.”
In the elevator, Pu Guangrong listened to the reports on the walkie-talkie, clicking his tongue in amazement.
From the preliminary situation understood, it seemed like a team crime.
Ding dong~
Arrived at the sixth floor.
A row of elevator doors opened one after another.
Seven or eight police officers surged out of the elevator cars.
What met their eyes were the corpses of Lao Da and Zhi Da.
Plus those two mangled corpses in the corridor, Pu Guangrong only felt the murderer was utterly heartless.
Just the number of deceased discovered so far already qualified as a major public safety incident.
The police officers quickly switched the corridor lights to bright white incandescent ones.
The patients who had been secretly observing from the hospital rooms only dared to carefully push open their doors and come out after seeing the police.
The quiet didn’t last long before the patients started chattering among themselves.
Seeing this, Pu Guangrong had a bit of a headache. He lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, patting the young police officer beside him: “Go ask who called the police?”
……
There was more than one caller. The young police officer spent some time learning the sequence of events from these patients.
“Brother Guangrong, it doesn’t match up.”
The young police officer looked at his notes: “These witnesses all have different stories. Some say it was a group brawl, others say it was thieves caught stealing…”
“That’s not important. First check the identities of these deceased.”
Pu Guangrong exhaled a puff of smoke and added: “Anyone witness the murderer committing the crime?”
The young police officer nodded like a pecking chick.
“Yes. They said there were several murderers, and in the end only two survived. One took the elevator down, and the other hid in a hospital room.”
For now, that’s it…
After all, I’m not full-time; I’ll try to keep three updates going forward.
Good night everyone.
