14: Chapter 14 The Smiling Baby

The moment Chen Mo's foot crossed the threshold, it was as if he had triggered some invisible tripwire.

The Class Monitor and Liu Xiaodong immediately stopped drawing, their pupils fixed on Chen Mo, filled with violent agitation.

"Chen Mo, what are you here for again, kid? Are you trying to steal my food?!"

The Class Monitor immediately reached out, clutching the pile of snacks he had hidden under his quilt into his arms.

Liu Xiaodong's reaction was more extreme; he grabbed a fruit knife from beside the nightstand and made a move to rush toward Chen Mo.

However...

After just two steps, Liu Xiaodong suddenly lost his balance and fell flat on the floor.

His chin slammed hard against the floor, and his upper and lower teeth collided violently, biting through his lip.

The blood that flowed out wasn't red, but looked like ink!

The knife in his hand slid to the side.

"Chen Mo, those two are truly insane!" Su Qing hid behind the doorframe.

Chen Mo saw Liu Xiaodong's current state clearly; his feet were gone.

However, it wasn't as if they had been cut off by a knife; it was as if he were a congenital deformity, having never had feet to begin with.

It turned out the Shoe Ghost really had stolen Liu Xiaodong's feet last night.

The Class Monitor had originally been a refined hypocrite, but his current appearance was like that of a vagrant.

Although he had always liked keeping long hair, in this Thriller Game, only 24 hours had passed.

The Class Monitor's hair had already grown to his shoulders.

Chen Mo had only ever seen three types of people wear this hairstyle before.

1. Women 2. Men full of artistic flair 3. Ghosts!

The Patient profession was superficially D-rank in difficulty, but according to information in the Management Group, the Patient profession was actually the most dangerous!

At this moment, Chen Mo could already imagine... by the third day, the Class Monitor and Liu Xiaodong would likely no longer be human, but would have become part of the Thriller Game.

Only players with mental fortitude far exceeding that of ordinary people could survive three days by choosing the Patient profession.

If an ordinary person chose the Patient profession, their end would inevitably be death.

Chen Mo suddenly felt lucky for his dumb luck.

If he hadn't been pulled into the Management Group back then, given his strong instinct for survival, he might have fought the Class Monitor and the others for the Patient profession.

Although Chen Mo was thin, he practiced street fighting every day.

The goal was to improve his biological functions and self-defense capabilities.

He reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out the bone-scraping knife!

[How could Many Children Many Blessings have noticed this? This player called Brother Chun and this player called Niu Niu Bang Bang are about to turn into ghosts!]

[However... although the two are still weak now, with the Ghost Power of Many Children Many Blessings, he will definitely be able to subdue them.]

[But it would be better to wait until they have completely turned into ghosts; killing them then would yield a higher rating.]

"Huh?!"

Seeing the message in the Management Group, Chen Mo immediately put the knife back.

"Let's go," Chen Mo said to Su Qing.

Su Qing was a bit confused, but she still followed closely in Chen Mo's footsteps.

[The babies need their diapers changed; please proceed to the Mother and Baby Room immediately.]

A new task popped up before Su Qing's eyes.

"Chen Mo, wait, I have a new task."

After roughly understanding the task details, Su Qing swallowed hard, feeling a bit scared.

"Chen Mo, can you come with me? I feel a bit scared going alone."

"Sure," Chen Mo readily agreed.

Being able to earn more hidden points might just help him achieve an S-rank rating tonight.

On the other hand, Chen Mo had never entered the Mother and Baby Room; perhaps there was some useful information hidden inside.

This time, contrary to Chen Mo's expectations, the Management Group hadn't revealed any information.

The two first went to the Nurse station to get the key to the Mother and Baby Room.

Then they arrived at their destination.

Su Qing took out the key, unlocked the door, and, imitating Chen Mo, kicked the door open.

There were no pig cages inside, nor did anything eerie suddenly appear.

Su Qing clutched her heaving chest, feeling relieved.

"You learn pretty fast."

"Of course."

The two walked into the Mother and Baby Room; the layout inside was the same as a normal Patient ward.

Then, rows of neat baby cribs came into view.

Chen Mo walked up to a pink crib and looked down into it from above.

The baby inside was chubby and fair, sleeping on its side, covered by a mini white blanket, with only its round head visible.

"This baby is quite normal; as expected, human cubs are actually rather cute," Chen Mo couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Qing, standing to the side, felt her maternal instincts overflowing and reached out, wanting to touch the round, cute baby.

Compared to the baby, the two were like giants.

Originally, light had been shining on the baby, but when the two stood beside the crib, it was like two large trees burying the baby in their shadows.

The baby turned over, rubbed its little eyes, and then opened them!

Upon opening its eyes, Su Qing immediately felt like she had been deceived.

Because the baby's pupils were pitch black, like two black buttons simply jammed into its eye sockets.

It saw two big brother and big sister figures had arrived!

The baby's expression instantly turned into a joyous laugh; the smile was demonic, its mouth twisted into an inverted triangle shape.

This laughter was extremely sinister, with a chaotic rhythm.

Because as this baby laughed, eerie laughter erupted in unison from the surrounding cribs.

With the demonic sounds filling their ears, Chen Mo and Su Qing felt as if they had arrived in a deserted, deep mountain forest.

The sinister laughter of evil spirits echoed everywhere.

"Chen Mo, I feel like I'm not feeling well..." Su Qing clutched her chest and collapsed to the floor.

Chen Mo was the same.

He opened his attribute page and saw his Mental Value plummeting crazily.

[Many Children Many Blessings: Mental Value - 1]

[Many Children Many Blessings: Mental Value - 1]

[Many Children Many Blessings: Mental Value - 1]

"Cover your ears, let's get out of here first." Chen Mo covered his ears with both hands, as if walking through a snowstorm.

Every step was incredibly difficult.

Su Qing's Mental Value wasn't as high as Chen Mo's, and she soon fainted on the floor.

With no other choice, Chen Mo could only take a stethoscope from the medical kit to barely serve as earplugs.

Then he scooped Su Qing up in a princess carry and ran quickly outside.

He kicked the door shut, but the eerie laughter of those babies continued to echo in his head.

Chen Mo gasped for air, his back against the wall, and slumped down.

"No wonder everyone likes black silk stockings."

"Turns out, besides looking good, the texture is also quite unique," Chen Mo couldn't help but exclaim.

"As expected, the Nurse task difficulty is higher than the Doctor's; how is one supposed to change diapers?"

"Before even making contact, our side has already been wiped out."

"Sound is the source of the attack; if only there were something like pacifiers."

"There are still 10 hours until midnight; there is plenty of time. In any case, I should recover my Mental Value first."

Chen Mo hoisted Su Qing onto his back and headed toward the Vending Machine again.
