Chapter 150: First Mission
At this time, Chen Jiu was already very close to the entrance of the safe passage, and he only needed to run a few more steps to enter the safe passage directly.
However, what he wasn't sure about was whether the woman and the black shadow would follow him after he entered the safe passage, and if so, the difficulty of the entire side quest would undoubtedly be invisibly increased.
But now that he is ready to fly, he has no choice, he can't regret returning to the security booth after taking the mission.
Secondly, if you choose not to do these side quests, wait until the next morning, and God knows what horrors will happen.
"Did you guess right? Sure enough, the dark shadow was waiting for me to show up. The moment he stepped into the safe passage, Chen Jiu looked back and saw that strange black shadow was crouching on the other side of the corridor, the opposite of his choice.
The first time it saw Chen Jiu, it quickly moved from the corridor on that side to the corridor on this side like a black shadow.
The speed made Chen Jiu's eyelids jump.
However, the strange thing is that the black shadow's actions came to an abrupt halt when Chen Jiu stepped into the safe passage with one foot, as if he had lost his goal, even the woman not far away.
"It seems that in this hospital, not only me, but even ghosts need to abide by the principle that they can't leave their posts." Chen Jiu was thoughtful.
There is no doubt that this rule has greatly facilitated him.
At least now he doesn't have to worry about being chased and killed by those two ghosts in the process of doing the mission.
While adjusting his breathing and pace, Chen Jiu began to climb quickly in the corridor, although there seemed to be nothing abnormal in the corridor for the time being, he didn't want to spend too much time here.
Time is precious to him these days.
It was only a few hours before dawn.
He needs to complete all the side quests as early as possible before this time.
"404......" Chen Jiu silently counted on the floor of the fourth floor, there were a total of more than 20 wards on this floor, but the doors of the wards were all closed, and through the glass windows on the doors, it was impossible to see what was inside.
"This room is probably the most dilapidated on this floor, right?" Standing at the door of 404, Chen couldn't help but complain that the doors of the other wards were all complete, and this ward was even missing a hole in the door.
"First of all, be prepared to be attacked, and secondly, try to avoid clashes with ghosts." Chen Jiu gently pushed the door of 404 open, for the sake of safety, he only carried out this action halfway, and retracted his body again, until he made sure that no one was hiding or attacking behind the door, and then he was ready to enter.
In short, in this weird hospital, there's always nothing wrong with being cautious.
This ward is not large, there are only two beds in total, and they are all surrounded by curtains, so it is impossible to see whether there are people or what.
"Hehe, you want to scare me?" Chen Jiu sneered.
After all, he came to this ward to cut the nails of a thing I don't know if it was a human or a ghost, and if he was really scared, he wouldn't have chosen to do this side quest.
Chen Jiu took out nail clippers from his pocket and tried them in his hand, feeling relatively comfortable.
"Is this a happy choice? If you choose the right security, will you jump a ghost out if you choose the wrong one? Looking at the two hospital beds that were solidly fenced, Chen Jiu smiled.
He first walked into the nearest hospital bed and gently pulled the corner of the curtain open with his nail clippers.
At this moment, he only heard a strange sound coming from inside, as if someone was muttering, and Chen Jiu, who felt a burst of yin qi attacking, immediately chose to put down the curtain, and the strange sound stopped immediately.
But on the curtain, there were two more weird bloody palm prints.
"Tsk, it's really a happy choice." Glancing at the bloody palm prints on the curtain, if he didn't choose to just open a corner just now, but directly opened it, I'm afraid he would have released the ghost inside.
At that time, no matter whether this ghost is powerful or not, it will be doomed that he will not be able to complete this side quest.
But I have to say that caution still helped him a lot.
Chen Jiu immediately turned around and went to the second hospital bed.
It was no different from the first bed, the second bed was also surrounded by a white curtain, and after the first experience, he still pulled the curtain open and waited for the change inside.
"Looks like the target should be here." After waiting for a minute, Chen Jiu didn't feel anything unusual.
He lifted the whole curtain.
The hospital bed was a man, a guy who barely maintained his human form, to be exact.
Its body was pale and had arms and thighs like a human, but its skin was as dry as tree bark, and Chen Jiu even suspected that he could tear a piece of skin directly from this guy's body as long as he used a little more strength.
But the weird thing is that this guy doesn't have a head, and it's empty from the neck up.
There is no doubt that this is a ghost, but judging from the current state of this ghost, it should be the one who is terminally ill.
Because after Chen Jiu lifted the curtain, this ghost did not move at all.
Generally speaking, ordinary people are likely to scream in fright when they see such a thing, and even have weak legs and can't move at all.
But this kind of emotion is impossible to achieve in Chen Jiu.
He just thought the ghost's nails were a little too long.
Chen Jiu glanced at the nails of this ghost, the nails were dry and thick, and at first glance they were old nails, and when he saw the small nail clippers in his hand, he was a little skeptical that he could really complete the job of cutting nails from this guy.
Considering his current combat effectiveness, he is just an ordinary person with empty strength.
For a moment, he tied the ghost's limbs firmly to the bed.
"It's all like this, you shouldn't be able to jump, right?" Chen Jiu nodded, then surrounded the bed, chose a hand that was closer to the door, and began to operate with nail clippers.
For the next ten minutes, Chen Jiu began to cut his nails from the ghost's body as if he were shaving the bark of a tree.
He had to admit that the work was really difficult.
It's even harder than some pedicure masters, because this nail is too hard.
"You'd better go out and don't be bumped into by me, or I'll chop off your hands and feet." Chen Jiu complained silently, and after spending a lot of effort, he finally trimmed the nails of this ghost's limbs.
"OK, it's done, sure enough, there are no tasks that are difficult to get this ghost."
