The Temptation of Nurses

The monotonous 'creak' began to ring out once more.

Li Mengyao's face was pale, clearly having not yet recovered from the fear she just experienced.

But the task stipulated that there must be no pause longer than three seconds.

So, she didn't dare to stop.

The seventy-fifth time, the seventy-sixth... "Hang in there, it's almost done."

Shen Qingci offered a word of encouragement, standing to the side as she manipulated her shadow, ready to rescue her at any moment.

Lin Yue looked even more nervous than Li Mengyao... The eighty-fifth time, the eighty-sixth... time passed minute by minute.

The ninety-first time, the ninety-second... hope was right before their eyes.

The ninety-seventh time!

"Creak—"

The wardrobe door swung wide open.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss—"

A mass of pale white sarcoma suddenly squeezed its way out!

Its surface was covered in bulging and contracting pustules, with dozens of pairs of knuckles protruding from all over the sarcoma!

A mouthpart filled with sharp teeth suddenly snapped open!

Li Mengyao trembled violently with fear once again, nearly fainting!

Before Chen Yu could act... to the side, Shen Qingci's gaze turned cold!

Beneath her feet and on the walls, all the shadows cast by the light began to boil!

In an instant, they contracted toward the position of the sarcoma!

Poof!

In just a single second, the sarcoma exploded all over the floor!

Of course, quite a bit of it got on Li Mengyao as well!

She suppressed her disgust and her terror, but her hands had to continue opening and closing the wardrobe!

The corner of Chen Yu's mouth twitched... Shen Qingci's hands were way too fast; she had crushed the sarcoma the moment it appeared!

Most importantly, not even a corpse was left behind!

How the hell was he supposed to absorb that?!

Chen Yu tried for a long while, but he couldn't extract a single attribute point!

Especially when looking at Shen Qingci's "no need to praise me, it's just what I should do" expression!

Chen Yu fell into silence... but through this action, Chen Yu had also observed Shen Qingci's talent in detail!

It was said to be shadow control... but it was actually more like a skill that materialized the surrounding shadows, compressed them, and achieved a physical explosion!

In a 1v1 situation, it was incredibly powerful!

But if there were many opponents, the shadows' effectiveness would be much worse!

For an S-Rank Talent, it was considered top-tier!

After all, Shen Qingci herself had said she had no fear even when facing S-rank strength!

"Bang!" Ninety-eight times.

"Bang!" Ninety-nine times.

"Bang!" One hundred times.

[Second Night Special Rule: Repeated Obsession]

[Rule has been invalidated]

The moment the sound vanished, the cold sensation emanating from the wardrobe also noticeably receded.

It seemed they would be safe for tonight.

But Lin Yue still had a nervous expression; she had been taken away last night after the rules were invalidated.

So, her nervousness was understandable.

Shen Qingci comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid..."

Lin Yue nodded.

Chen Yu also walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

But before he could speak...

He noticed Lin Yue was trembling all over, her face flushed red.

Chen Yu quickly pulled his hand back, and Lin Yue returned to her normal state.

Chen Yu: "?"

"It... it's over..."

Li Mengyao could no longer hold on and collapsed backward from exhaustion, only to be caught steadily by Shen Qingci.

"Hurry up and rest. I'll leave the two of them to you, Senior."

Chen Yu spoke indifferently.

Shen Qingci frowned: "You're going to..."

Chen Yu calmly pointed outside the door: "I need to find clues, and incidentally help others complete their tasks."

"Ah?"

Shen Qingci didn't expect Chen Yu to have the leisure to help others.

He... he wasn't that kind of person, was he?

Chen Yu gave a few casual excuses, bid the three women farewell, and walked out the door.

Shen Qingci actually had the nerve to ask; it was she who had cheated him out of an attribute point.

Although Chen Yu felt it was a huge loss, it wasn't unacceptable.

After all, there were still three other teams in the building who had to complete this task.

They were:

The Doctor Squad.

The Bank Squad.

The Human Swine Squad.

Based on Chen Yu's understanding of their courage, they were probably all pushing the responsibility onto each other and hadn't started yet.

After all, not every team was as united as theirs, with people volunteering for the task.

Under these circumstances, Chen Yu was willing to be that guardian to increase his attribute points.

Third floor.

Room 312, where Dr. Qiao Xi's Doctor Squad was located.

Muffled arguments could be heard from inside the door.

"Su Si, Xuelei, someone must carry out the rule."

Qiao Xi's voice sounded weary. "The person opening the wardrobe is the most susceptible to direct attacks. My talent lacks combat power. Which of you can..."

"Sister Qiao Xi~"

Su Si said pitifully, "Look at me, with my thin arms and legs. If something jumps out from inside, I'll definitely faint from fright... wouldn't that just delay things even more?"

Zhang Xuele added, "Sister Qiao Xi is the most amazing! You're an S-rank, so you're definitely stronger than us two little nurses! We'd just be a burden if we went..."

Qiao Xi felt a wave of helplessness.

"...Fine."

She finally compromised, her voice exhausted. "I'll do it."

"Sister Qiao Xi, you're so good!"

"Make sure to stay safe!"

Su Si and Zhang Xuele immediately cheered, breathing a sigh of relief.

Knock, knock, knock.

A moderate knocking sound rang out.

The three of them were startled at the same time!

At this time, who would come?!

Qiao Xi warily signaled the two to remain silent, walked to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Chen Yu."

A calm male voice came from outside the door.

Qiao Xi was stunned and quickly opened the door.

She saw Chen Yu standing alone in the dim corridor.

"Chen Yu? You're..."

"Just came up to take a look,"

Chen Yu's gaze swept past her into the room. "Your team hasn't started yet?"

Qiao Xi stepped aside, her tone tinged with a bit of helplessness. "Yeah, we just decided that I'll be the one to do it..."

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes but didn't offer any opinion.

He just spoke indifferently: "You do your thing. I'll stay and watch. If something comes out, I'll handle it."

Qiao Xi was taken aback, and then a flash of joy appeared: "Really!"

Chen Yu nodded: "Yeah, we've already finished the task. It was just a few bugs."

Qiao Xi finally let out a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

She quickly moved aside to invite Chen Yu in... Immediately after, Su Si brought over a glass of water and approached cautiously: "Little Brother Chen Yu, you must be exhausted from dealing with the monsters just now, right? Have some water first to warm up."

Her fingers were slightly curled as she handed him the glass. When it reached Chen Yu's hand, her wrist went limp, and the glass wobbled slightly.

A few drops of water splashed onto the back of Chen Yu's hand.

She immediately let out a soft cry, a flush rising to her cheeks: "Oh my, I'm sorry, I was so careless..."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to help him wipe it off.

On the other side, Zhang Xuele also hurried over, tilting her small face up: "Little Brother Chen Yu, it's so great that you're here. We were just scared to death. Sister Qiao Xi is really something, insisting on doing it herself."

She looked at Chen Yu admiringly, "With you guarding us, I won't be afraid of anything anymore."

After the two of them finished their performance...

Chen Yu finally spoke indifferently: "Are you done? Can I go in now?"

"Huh?"

The sweet smiles on the two women's faces instantly froze. Chen Yu pushed them aside and walked through the middle.

The two women could only step back awkwardly.

Qiao Xi shook her head and walked to the wardrobe... "Whew, I'm starting."

Chen Yu said impatiently, "Start immediately."
