For Lu Ban, these words gradually faded from view.

Thirteen thousand points, three hundred less than when the exploration rate was a hundred percent. Those missing three percent don’t seem very valuable.

Still, Lu Ban was curious, what secrets had he not yet discovered?

It was only now that he remembered the man who had guided Director Zhao Gongping to perform the ritual summoning of the monster, a man named Corea.

This man seemed to possess more than just arcane knowledge, and he was not a charlatan but genuinely had knowledge from the Foreign Domain.

“Another Chosen by Gods? Or is he an existence that has always been in this world?”

Lu Ban thought about what Cui Siter had mentioned, how some Chosen by Gods gradually lose themselves in tasks within the Foreign Domain, forsaking their humanity and becoming existences even more terrifying than monsters.

Maybe that man was one of them.

After all, in the hospital records, this man named Corea had never appeared. He suddenly appeared before Zhao Gongping, then just as suddenly vanished, only to reappear years later. It all seemed like the actions of a Chosen by Gods on a mission in this world.

Lu Ban decided to keep an eye out.

It was already getting light out by five o’clock.

In the sunlight, Lu Ban could feel the plants inside him writhing, repairing the wounds on his body.

Like a reborn being, he saw the ruins of the hospital glittering in the sunlight, and in the True Sight, something dissipated with the sun’s rays.

Lu Ban couldn’t be certain that explosives would truly kill the monster, but he could guess that the creature tortured by delirious utterings had gone mad, expanding uncontrollably, and at that time, it hadn’t fully descended into this world, still bound by certain constraints.

Also, the final obsession of that mother allowed the consciousness of her child to remain within the monster, diluting its power.

That child and the monster lived in symbiosis, which under normal circumstances would be impossible.

The progeny of a great being from a distant Foreign Domain could consume the will of an infant in an instant. Yet, unexpectedly, she persisted.

And she and the monster were two sides of the same coin, surviving or perishing together, even capable of sharing some power.

This was why those consumed by the monster could still retain a sliver of consciousness, providing information to Lu Ban, and why a worker could save the broadcaster who had wandered onto the fifth floor.

New life and destruction, inseparably linked.

Thus, Lu Ban’s final choice was… to kill the child.

Only by killing her could the monster lose its foundation in this world, be rejected by it, and fall into mediocrity.

No one noticed that the mirror in the elevator, smooth as new, had been shattered without anyone knowing when.

For Lu Ban, of course, he still hoped to fulfill the mother’s dying wish, to save the child.

But just as that mother sacrificed everything for her child, after many years of observation, the child also understood her own existence.

Despite many disputes, the hospital was, after all, a place for healing the wounded and saving lives.

Where there’s light, there’s hope.

Even those in darkness always look towards the light.

Back at home, Lu Ban felt extremely exhausted.

Not just because he had gone without sleep for a night, but also because he had performed a major demolition in the hospital.

It was more a matter of spiritual exhaustion.

When Lu Ban was stuck in the concrete, all the obsessions and lamentations of the dead, the will dominated by the monster, flowed into him.

If it had been someone else, they might have turned into the shape of the monster, overstuffed to the brim.

But Lu Ban, after all, was a battle-hardened Chosen by Gods, who had seen much and bore it all.

“Come to think of it, if that child had grown up normally, he might already be around my age?”

Lu Ban placed a small shard of mirror on the table, a remnant from the elevator’s mirror, only the size of a palm, yet still as pristine as ever.

Nanhua Private Renji Hospital was established at the end of the last century, roughly twenty-two years ago, around the same age as Lu Ban. If that child had been born normally and grown up, he would probably be a college graduate by now.

He laughed at himself, took off his tattered clothes, and walked into the bathroom.

The Lu Ban in the mirror seemed somewhat surprised, as if he noticed something different about himself.

He turned on the shower, letting the hot water wash over his body, causing the plants growing on his wounds to thrive even more with the water’s nourishment.

Sunlight, water, air, nutrition—these were the essential elements sustaining Lu Ban’s life.

“At times like this, if I could lie in a sun-filled pool, I might recover even faster,”

he muttered to himself.

After changing clothes, Lu Ban returned to his room, ignored the follow-up missions, and drew back the curtains, filling his room with sunlight. He didn’t cover himself with anything and just lay down to sleep like that.

In the afternoon, when the sun dipped westward and the room turned golden, Lu Ban slowly came to.

He felt a little heaviness on his body.

“This guy again?”

Lu Ban looked down at the clump of black fog wrapped around his chest.

But soon, Lu Ban noticed another clump of gray fog beside the black one.

“?”

The strangeness increased.

Those two clumps of fog, like two curled-up cats, were unconsciously competing for a spot to sleep.

“Could it be…”

Lu Ban recalled a phrase he had once read.

Supernatural beings are attracted to each other.

When you see one supernatural being in your house, it means there’s definitely more than one.

People with true sight will continuously encounter supernatural beings.

This is why the protagonists of horror movies always meet ghosts and even find a sequel, then a third installment.

So, did the roommates in my house bring other roommates here?

After a while, I might wake up to find my bed covered in these colorful fogs, with no place left for me to sleep.

Thinking of such a life subjugated by cats, Lu Ban shuddered.

I must solve this problem!

He jumped up, and the two clumps of fog immediately scattered, quickly sliding into the closet, under the bed, out of sight.

Lu Ban searched but couldn’t find them, so he decided to lie down and pretend to be asleep.

After a while, the two clumps of fog gathered at his chest again.

“Heh, gotcha now!”

Lu Ban immediately raised his hand, trying to grab the two clumps of fog.

But they disappeared as quickly as smoke in the wind, leaving Lu Ban scratching his head in the room.

His phone vibrated once and then rang.

Lu Ban glanced at the caller ID; it wasn’t Feng Yu but the police officer, He Youwu.

“Hello? What’s up?”

Lu Ban asked, wondering if some maniac killer had his eye on him again.

“What exactly are you doing? I’ve received another complaint from your neighbor, claiming you were in your room, near the open curtains, doing sit-ups naked on your bed.”

“?”

Lu Ban immediately covered himself with a blanket.
