Chapter 1342: Chapter 587: Death Hospital, Starting in the Morgue! _2

Clang!

After a metallic scraping sound, a faint, pale light leaked in, shining on his feet.

"Got it!"

Lin Baici could feel his eyes adjusting, catching a glimpse of light. When he finally maneuvered his way out, he found himself lying in a drawer.

Lin Baici sat up and looked down, realizing he was inside a black plastic bag.

"A corpse bag?"

A chill ran through Lin Baici’s heart. He quickly turned his head and saw a whole wall of these pull-out refrigeration cabinets lining the wall.

What the hell!

A hospital morgue?

Lin Baici immediately sucked in a cold breath.

He wasn’t exactly scared, but physically, his body recoiled on instinct. After all, places like this naturally made people feel uneasy.

The refrigeration cabinet holding Lin Baici was on the sixth row.

With a few swift movements, he tore off the black corpse bag from his body, jumped down, and surveyed his surroundings before heading straight for the door on the right.

Lin Baici twisted the doorknob.

Locked!

The metal door had a pane of frosted glass so thick he couldn’t see what was outside.

Lin Baici turned back. The morgue was about 200 square meters, rectangular in shape. On the right side, there was a whole wall of refrigeration cabinets, roughly 200 of them at a glance.

Could they all be filled with people?

Lin Baici didn’t immediately check. Instead, he lowered his head to examine his own body first.

Shit.

Aside from a pair of boxer briefs, he wasn’t wearing anything else.

The White Deer Horn Bone Flute was, of course, gone too. All of Lin Baici’s taboo items were inside it.

If he couldn’t find those, it would be a huge loss.

Wait!

There was a bracelet on his right wrist.

Lin Baici inspected it and found a nameplate on it, engraved with the characters for "Lin Baici."

On the index finger of his left hand, there was also a yellow ring that seemed to be made of gold, with the word "Champion" inscribed on it.

Lin Baici took off the ring and examined it. On the inside, his name was engraved.

Could this be a reward from the last game?

Lin Baici returned to the refrigeration cabinet, inspecting it, and even rummaged through the corpse bag he had just been in.

There was nothing.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A muffled knocking sound suddenly broke the silence, followed closely by cries for help.

"Help!"

"Help me!"

Lin Baici listened intently, then quickly ran about ten meters forward. After locating the sound, he grabbed the handle of the refrigeration cabinet labeled "109."

He braced his arms!

Crack!

Amid the screech of metal scraping, the refrigeration cabinet slid out.

Whoosh!

A breath of frosty white air puffed out, touching his skin with a biting chill.

Inside the cabinet was a black corpse bag, wriggling and writhing like a giant caterpillar.

"Help! Help!"

The person inside was shouting more frantically.

Lin Baici grabbed the zipper and yanked it open with a rip.

Whoosh!

A pair of slender, pale arms jutted out, followed by a head of disheveled, messy hair that sat straight up.

Because of how long and thick her hair was, it obscured her face, leaving Lin Baici unable to see who this woman was at first glance.

Had Lin Baici not been bold enough, he might have been scared into stumbling back by the sight of what looked like a female ghost coming back to life.

"Where is this pla—Brother Lin?"

The woman looked around, stopping mid-sentence when she noticed Lin Baici standing nearby. Joy instantly lit up her face.

"Brother Lin!"

Su Manni was ecstatic. She reached out to hug Lin Baici.

Lin Baici quickly stepped back.

"Brother Lin, where is this place?"

Su Manni glanced around, her face suddenly growing pale and her body starting to tremble. "A m-morgue?"

She often watched dramas and had seen rooms like this in movies and television.

"Seems like it!"

Lin Baici casually answered, deep in thought about whether to open the other refrigeration cabinets to take a peek.

Hiss!

Su Manni shivered, hugging herself instinctively.

These refrigeration cabinets were typically kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius, so it was extremely cold.

Su Manni couldn’t bear it after just a few seconds and quickly climbed out.

On her body, aside from a name-engraved ID card on her right wrist, she only wore a set of black lace-style underwear.

Lin Baici glanced at her.

What’s that saying? These days, fashion is judged by peeking under your underwear!

How true.

That said, Su Manni did have a great figure; no wonder she managed to hook someone like Qian Jiahui.

Lin Baici retracted his gaze and fiddled with the Champion ring.

Would it really come without any practical rewards?

[Infuse Divine Power into this ring, and you can summon a red Giant Dragon mount capable of short-distance flight. However, it cannot currently be used.]

[Every member of the First Kill Squad has the privilege of selecting one skill from their repertoire to become their Divine Grace!]

[As the First Kill Squad’s leader, you have the opportunity to choose two skills!]

The ring played back Li Luyou’s pre-recorded introduction.

"What the hell kind of place is this? Didn’t they say we were free?"

Su Manni hugged her arms tightly, her shoulders drawn in as she anxiously surveyed her surroundings. Startled by the voice, her eyes shifted to Lin Baici.

Then, her gaze fell on the Champion ring on his hand.

Gold?

It must be worth a lot, right?

No,

The real value should be in the ability to summon a Giant Dragon mount and those skills, right?

Wait!

This wasn’t something she had the capacity to worry about.

The most pressing issue,

was survival!

Thinking of this, Su Manni instinctively leaned toward Lin Baici, clinging to his arm. "Brother Lin, where exactly are we?"

Su Manni held onto him tightly, intentionally pressing her chest against him.

Right now,

her body was her most valuable asset.

Having seen Lin Baici’s performance in the first game, Su Manni deeply regretted not holding onto him earlier. Now that the opportunity had presented itself again,

she absolutely couldn’t miss it.

"Let go!"

Lin Baici tugged at his arm but couldn’t pull it free.

"Brother Lin, I’m not bad-looking. Do you hate me that much?"

Su Manni looked aggrieved, "I only ever dated Qian Jiahui. Really, if I were some kind of slut, would Qian Jiahui, a Sea King accustomed to feasting on gourmet meals, even have chosen me?"

"Respect to you, Miss Ex!"

Lin Baici sneered, still trying to free his hand.

"Brother Lin, my requirements aren’t high. Just—when you have the energy—please help me out. In return, I can do a lot for you!"

Su Manni pleaded, her voice softening as she leaned closer to Lin Baici. "If you don’t trust me, how about taking a little... advance payment?"

Lin Baici reached out and pressed his hand firmly against her face, blocking her attempt to kiss him.

"Sorry, I’m not in the habit of sleeping with my buddy’s girl."

Lin Baici rejected her coldly.

"What buddy’s girl? He Yunjia is already pregnant. With her scheming nature, she’ll definitely force Qian Jiahui to marry her to legitimize the baby. She’s the real Mrs. Qian!"

Su Manni bitterly cursed.

That day when Qian Jiahui invited Lin Baici to dinner, she truly regretted competing with He Yunjia for attention.

But what could she do?

Who could have known Lin Baici was such a big shot?

Hiss!

After cursing, Su Manni shuddered again and rubbed her arms for warmth.

"Brother Lin, it’s freezing here!"

Su Manni sidled closer to Lin Baici. This time, it wasn’t an act; the morgue was genuinely cold. "How about we hug to stay warm?"

Frosty white breath spilled out as she spoke.

[The pollution hasn’t fully spread yet. If you’re bored, you could play with this piece of chewing gum. She’s skilled, leagues ahead of the Goryeo girl and Hua Yue Yu. You might enjoy yourself!]

[If you’re worried about trouble down the line, just let her die in the rules’ contamination.]

The Eater God offered a peculiar comment.

Lin Baici’s brow furrowed slightly.

If the Eater God could praise her technique, Su Manni must indeed be quite capable.

Still, he had no interest.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Another knocking sound echoed.

"Someone’s there!"

Su Manni flinched, instinctively leaping forward to cling to Lin Baici.

This time, she was genuinely frightened.

A girl suddenly finding herself in a freezing morgue—who wouldn’t be scared?

"Let go!"

Lin Baici was irritated and pushed Su Manni forcefully. "If there’s a monster, clinging to me like this will only put me in danger!"

"Huh? A monster?"

Su Manni clung even tighter, like a piece of sticky tape.

"Do I have to hit you to make you let go?"

Lin Baici pulled a tactical move, grabbing a fistful of Su Manni’s hair.

"Brother Lin, I was wrong!"

Su Manni rushed to apologize, quickly letting go of him.

Following the sound, Lin Baici walked to another refrigeration cabinet.

"If only it were Little Merperson and the others!"

Lin Baici pulled the cabinet open.
