514: Chapter 512 My rules are the hospital's rules.
Hearing the long-faced patient's threatening words, Xiao Qi's face turned pale. As if losing control of herself, she walked over tremblingly and climbed onto the bed.
“Hehe...”
The two patients let out lewd laughs in unison.
“Get down.”
Chu Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Qi's body trembled. She didn't look back, but kept her head lowered. Her voice was low and sounded somewhat dull and mechanical: “Director Chu, we cannot refuse a patient's reasonable request.”
The square-faced patient raised an eyebrow slightly.
The long-faced patient snorted coldly, “Kid, just stay on the side and watch obediently. If you break the rules, don't blame us for reporting you.”
Chu Xuan's eyes flashed.
He still had a use for that nurse Xiao Qi, so how could he let her stay here?
With a shift in thought, Chu Xuan said, “She is the one assigned to follow me for ward rounds. If you keep her here, you are obstructing my work.”
Seeing the two were about to speak again, Chu Xuan's face suddenly became distorted and ferocious, turning a greenish-black color. His voice also began to sound sinister: “Now, my rules are the hospital's rules. Are you sure... you want to violate my rules?”
The expressions of the two changed abruptly, unable to hide their looks of horror.
The square-faced man waved his hands hurriedly and said, “No, no, no! We didn't mean that. Please, go ahead, go ahead...”
“Everything is up to you,” the long-faced man added.
Seeing their panicked states, which was exactly as he expected, Chu Xuan used the Transcendent Skill [Myriad Forms] to maintain his distorted and weird facial state. He looked at the two with a deep gaze and only spoke after a while: “Are you satisfied with the service?”
“Satisfied, satisfied, of course we are satisfied.”
The two nodded repeatedly, then each pressed a 'Very Satisfied' evaluation button by their beds, looking at Chu Xuan with faces full of smiles.
Chu Xuan said in a cold tone, “Since the service is over, I will be taking these two people away. It just so happens I don't have enough manpower for my ward rounds...”
“We'll listen to whatever you say.” The square-faced man immediately took action, untying the ropes on the two people on the bed.
Seeing this, the long-faced man followed suit.
Chu Xuan's expression gradually softened, and his ferocious, distorted face began to return to its original state.
The two exhaled in relief simultaneously, watching as Chu Xuan led Xiao Qi and the other two nurses out of the ward. It wasn't until the door closed that they collapsed back onto their beds as if exhausted.
“That was close. We almost violated the rules. If that Director really turned into a supernatural form, we would have died a miserable death!”
“It seems our understanding of the rules isn't comprehensive enough. Although this hospital's rule is that patient service comes first, the ultimate rule is the operational order of the hospital itself. If we defy the rules, there's only death...”
“Right, right, right! We should be more careful from now on. We can't let desire cloud our heads again... Wait! In such a dangerous place, how could we be controlled by primal desires?”
“Damn it! We almost got lost and sank into this place!”
“Our luck is too bad! This world that's about to be destroyed is full of loopholes. It should have been our time to show off and reap benefits, but we were directly teleported to a place where The Gloom and supernatural existences reside. If we don't find a way to leave soon, forget about benefits—we might sink again and lose ourselves...”
“The mission prompt says that as long as we kill any Administrator, we can not only get a slot to teleport away but also receive many rewards. Our strength isn't enough, but we can find a few more people to form an Alliance. Try to contact... Huh? Xuan Xuan actually came here too?”
“That little witch's initial landing point shouldn't have been here, right? Someone in the channel mentioned she seemed to have gone to the Southwest Region of this world to participate in a 'Three Trials' mission and even got a lot of benefits...”
“We don't need to worry about that. Although that little witch is insidious, she's famous for taking people's money to solve their problems. As long as we pay a high enough price, she'll definitely be willing to take us away! Try contacting her quickly...”
Chu Xuan, who had walked not far from the ward door, remained as calm as a still lake.
Although the soundproofing of the doors here was good, Chu Xuan had spread his Mental Energy and easily heard every word of the two men's conversation inside the room.
“Haoqiong World... Xuan Xuan... Three Trials?”
A crystalline light flickered in Chu Xuan's eyes.
Just now, he hadn't cared about why there were male patients in the obstetrics and gynecology ward. Instead, he had instantly captured the 'rules' those two patients mentioned and immediately confirmed their identities—they were very likely the people from another world mentioned in the mission prompt.
Then, without hesitation, he used the Eye of Insight to observe them and immediately made a discovery.
The strength of these two was decent; their basic attributes were all above 80, but they hadn't broken 100, and they were all just ordinary attributes that hadn't been converted to reality.
What caught Chu Xuan's particular attention was a special note when observing their race.
Race: Human (Haoqiong World)
In that instant, Chu Xuan thought back to when he had checked Junior Brother Shen Guyun and the others. He had also used the Eye of Insight to observe them, and after seeing their human status, there was a label for 'Cangyun World'.
Not long ago, during the Mandatory Mission 'Three Trials' in the Southwest Region, specifically the second trial 'Mountain Climbing Steps,' he had suddenly encountered Xuan Xuan, who appeared out of thin air.
He had also used the Eye of Insight to observe her then, and after the human status label, there were consecutive '?' marks.
At that time, Chu Xuan didn't think much of it, simply assuming she was another Transcendent on the Path of Salvation. Now he understood that Xuan Xuan was very likely from the 'Haoqiong World,' just like those two men in the ward.
“No wonder that Xuan Xuan was strange in every way. Not only did she have many treasures, she even had a Traverse Formation Plate to leave the mission area directly and a death-exemption token to waive penalties...”
Chu Xuan murmured in his heart.
“Haoqiong World...”
“Another new world has appeared.”
“In their words, our world is already in a state of crisis, full of loopholes, and they've come just in time to reap benefits...”
“Just like a house being raided by bandits, everyone wants to take advantage of the fire and get a piece of the action...”
A cold sneer surfaced in Chu Xuan's heart.
“Director, what are you thinking about?” Xiao Qi's timid voice came from behind him.
Chu Xuan composed himself and looked back to see the two young nurses standing with their heads bowed behind Xiao Qi.
Their bodies were covered in blood-red whip marks, which were currently healing. Their skin quickly became smooth without any scars, and even their ragged, torn clothes miraculously returned to their original state.
Despite such a bizarre scene, they didn't feel anything was abnormal and completely ignored it.
As the wounds faded, they slowly raised their heads to look at Chu Xuan. The tear stains on their faces had also disappeared, replaced by curiosity, and even their gazes had become much more innocent.
It seemed they had completely forgotten everything they had just experienced.
Chu Xuan's heart stirred, so he said, “I was thinking that for the honor of the hospital, perhaps we should make some changes.”
“What changes do you want to make?” Xiao Qi asked curiously.
Chu Xuan didn't answer but narrowed his eyes slightly and asked back, “All the nurses here were likely trained by Director Biliang, weren't they?”
As soon as these words were spoken...
The expressions of the three nurses instantly turned cold, and they stared intently at Chu Xuan.
