Chapter 32 - Abandoned Hospital (End)
Meng Ke and the bear ranthrough the vast ninth floor. On the way, she encountered the nurses from earlier. They had killed the head nurse and were wandering around aimlessly in this illusionary world. Meng Ke managed to carefully avoid being discovered by them.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, she suddenly found a broken and fragmented space. Like a smashed-up mirror, fragments of the illusionary world laid scattered across the ground revealing a dark hole.
This is the exit. The bear said.
Seeing the exit, Meng Ke recalled the shaking and the loud shattering sound she heard earlier. It was probably the sound of the ninth floor being broken into and, unsurprisingly, it was something done by Bai Yi.
How did Bai Yi manage that.She thought about it but couldnt figure it out.
He really isnt simple.The feeling that he gave her earlier was very scary. For a moment, she had thought that she saw Xie Yuan Huai.
Meng Ke carefully ran out of the illusionary ninth floor. Like it was two different worlds, the ninth floor was bright and well illuminated whereas the outside was pitch-black.
She turned her flashlight on and examined the surrounding environment. She found herself standing in front of a stairwell and behind her was the underground passage that they had passed through earlier. It was the same place where she and Cheng Zhi Chu were before they somehow entered the ninth floor.
Theres the smell of blood.
The bear breathed in and smelled the air around them: Smells fresh. Its not the blood of a corpse, its the blood of a living person.
That must be Xin Xin or Xiao Xiao!
Meng Ke was anxious. Her hands and feet went numb. She was afraid that something had happened to Ji Yun Xiao or Meng Xin: Can you work out where its coming from and lead me there?
The bear jumped off from her head. It waved its tail and trotted in front of her to lead the way. Meng Xin followed closely behind with anxiousness.
They headed over to the third floor and gradually began to hear some noises. It was then followed by a girls scream and cries of horror. It echoed throughout the empty floor and then they heard several gunshots.
Its Xin Xin!
Meng kes expression changed dramatically. She took out her weapon and rushed over. When she turned around the corner, she saw her sister Meng Xin and Ji Yun Xiao as well as a large number of corpses lying on the ground.
Meng Xins arm was covered in fresh blood and she seemed to be rather severely hurt. Although she had already drunk the blood tonic, she was still bleeding, and her face was pale.
Ji Yun Xiao stood in front of her shielding her. With his crossbow, he aligned it with a corpses head and destroyed it with one hit. It was very precise but there were a lot of corpses around them. Even if they were able to deal with a lot of them, new zombies would continuously rush over surrounding the two of them.
Sis.sister?
At this moment, Meng Xin seemingly sensed something and looked over. Seeing her sister, a hint of surprise and relief flashed through her face. While both smiling and crying, she said: Youre still alive. I knew you would still be alive..wu.
Seeing that they were still alive, Meng Ke felt relieved inside but the situation that they were faced with was rather dire. Without wasting any time, she pulled out her weapon and rushed over to the crowd of corpses.
But at this moment, the bear let out a growl. The zombies heard its sound and they all looked back. Seeing that petite sized little demon, they were instantly terrified and started letting out fearful cries. They no longer cared about the living humans that they were after and they scattered up and fled.
Ao!
The bear happily chased after one of them. With one movement, it smashed its head with its foot, and it pulled out its rib bone that was still covered in small bits of rotten flesh.
But before it could bring it to its mouth, the bone suddenly turned into powder and scattered in the air. It tilted its head and stared at its paws with confusion. It then looked up and over at the other corpses only to see that they had also similarly disappeared without a trace.
Congratulations on killing the boss. You have completed all the main task and cleared the instance Abandoned Hospital.]
Clearance Rewards: Experience x2000, Survival Points x1500.]
You can leave this instance by leaving the hospital.]
At the same time Ji Yun Xiao and the others heard their own systems notifications informing them of their completion of the instance.
The still weak Meng Xin blinked her eyes a few times in disbelief: It-its finished?
She clearly didnt feel like she had gotten anywhere, and she had only just found out that the final boss was probably Xie Yuan Huai. She didnt even manage to touch the corner of his clothes so how was he killed off already?
Could it be Bai Yi Meng Ke was stunned. She then recovered and revealed a happy expression.
It was Bai Yi who had completed the task. He killed Xie Yuan Huai and even managed to rescue Cheng Zhi Chu! ..Of course, it might have also been Cheng Zhi Chu himself. His silver coin is very strong so there is also the possibility of him killing the boss.
Anyway, they were still alive, and they had managed to clear the instance. They can leave here now!
Bai Yi?
Little sister Meng Xin mumbled his name with a complicated expression on her face.
She thought back to when her sister and Cheng Zhi Chu had disappeared. In an instant, Bai Yis expression turned gloomy and he didnt even spare a glance at herself or Xiao Xiao before he left them behind like they werent anything important.
They wanted to chase after Bai Yi but in just a blink of an eye Bai Yi was gone, like he had disappeared in thin air. At that time, she and Xiao Xiao were worried that something may have happened to Bai Yi but now they realised that Bai Yi had probably thought that they were in the way.
Thinking this, she felt a little uncomfortable inside. But since the boss had died, it would mean that Bai Yi is indeed strong, so she isnt qualified to say anything about it.

Whats more, earlier she and Xiao Xiao were alone together..Although they were in danger, Xiao Xiao protected her the entire time. Mm, she would have never dreamed that she would be protected by her own idol. It really was worth it. She was glad that she was a fan of his.
Finally clearing the instance, the three of them were a little excited. The two sisters even hugged and comforted each other while telling each other about what had happened to them earlier.
So that means that Bai Yi left to save Cheng Zhi Chu?
Meng Xin listened to her sisters recount and said with some concern: I hope theyre okay. Lets go find them?
Yeah. Meng Ke nodded her head. She bent down and said to the bear, Pinecone, can you take us to find them?
Dont forget my fried chicken.
The bear pouted. It didnt manage to eat the bones earlier and it felt a little disappointed. But there might be lots of fried chicken to eat once it leaves this place so it might actually be a good thing that it didnt get to eat. Like this, it would have more space for it to enjoy a lavish meal.
Of course, I wont forget!
..
Bai Yi held Cheng Zhi Chus waist, and, with a lowered head, he gently kissed his soft lips. Cheng Zhi Chu in his arms gripped tightly onto his clothes while very obediently tilting up his head. His eyes were closed, and his eyelashes trembled slightly as he allowed him to kiss him as he pleased. It made Bai Yis heart melt into a puddle of spring water.
If he could, he really wanted to kiss him fiercely. But he cant. Right now, he should be acting like he is unaware of Cheng Zhi Chus out of control state and only kissing him because he had requested for it. When the time comes, he could just lie and say that he thought he meant that he had wanted a kiss on the lips.
But what he was doing right now was pretty much just a light touch. If he really kissed him hard..Zhi Chu would definitely be scared.
Thinking this, Bai Yi kissed Cheng Zhi Chu very gently and his lips only gently rubbed against the other persons lips.
But Cheng Zhi Chu was too much of a temptation for him. Like a magnet attracting him, just the sensation of their breaths mingling and their lips touching made him addicted and he was reluctant to let go.
After a while, Bai Yi finally raised his head and moved away from Cheng Zhi Chus lips. With a gentle gaze, he looked down at the person in his arms only to see Cheng Zhi Chus red cheeks and instantly feel a rush of regret. Why didnt he kiss him longer? Suppressing his hoarse voice, he asked with a seductive and soft voice: Still want?
Cheng Zhi Chus ears were completely red. Biting onto his lower lip, he quietly nodded.
Bai Yi was elated. Just as he was about to lower his head again, he saw Cheng Zhi Chus originally shy expression suddenly change. His body also stiffened, and he broke away from his embrace. Raising his hands he said in a hurry: Dont..Bai Yi, stop!
Was the out of control state already over?
Bai Yi felt a little disappointed. On the outside, he still pretended to act like he didnt know that Cheng Zhi Chu was out of control. With a small rise in his tone, he asked: Whats wrong?
His gaze was exceptionally pure. Being looked at like this, Cheng Zhi Chu immediately blushed bright red. He covered his mouth unable to speak. He even had the urge to kill himself. Why did he kiss Bai Yi again
Towards Bai Yi, he didnt feel suspicious at all. After all, he would have never considered the idea of Bai Yi feeling anything towards him. Not to mention, he was also the one who had asked Bai Yi to hug him and kiss him.
But when he made such a ridiculous request, he had originally thought that Bai Yi would be able to tell that he was in his out of control state. Maybe Bai Yi trusted him to much and treated him too well so he didnt refuse him and would do whatever he asked him to do
They even kissed.Why is Bai Yi so upright? He didnt even consider the thought of kissing somewhere else and, like this, Bai Yi was tarnished by him.
Cheng Zhi Chu felt the urge to cry. He felt like he was a beast. To think that he would lay hands on his own friend and do something so horrible.
At this moment, Bai Yi spoke up.
Did I do it badly? The handsome man revealed a lost look and looked a little pitiful. He said quietly, Sorry, that was my first time kissing someone. Im really sorry if it made you unhappy.
.Its-Its even his first kiss.
He had actually stolen Bai Yis first kiss?!
Everything went black before Cheng Zhi Chus eyes. He nearly fainted. His legs went soft and he was no longer able to support himself. Bai Yi managed to catch him on time to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Its not that it was bad. ItsIts because I went out of control earlier, so I asked you to do those things.
His face was pale, and he couldnt speak coherently.
But I still feel bad about this. Im such a jerkYou must be feeling awful right now. You take hit me as you like and take out your anger. The fiercer the better!!
He felt extremely guilty. He bowed his head in remorse and his eyes welled up, like he was about to cry. Seeing that he had teased him too much, Bai Yi also felt bad. He quickly patted his head and smoothed out his hair while speaking to him comfortingly.
It doesnt matter. Zhi Chu, Im not angry. You dont have to be so upset.
But I really.No, you have to hit me! If not, I would feel guilty forever!!
Its not that serious.
Bai Yi wanted to laugh. He felt both happy and helpless. He was happy because Zhi Chu cared a lot about him, but Zhi Chus mind was filled with remorse over his actions and didnt feel moved by the kiss at allForget it. Its good enough that he wasnt rejected. He shouldnt be too greedy.
He again warmly comforted Cheng Zhi Chu. It made Cheng Zhi Chu feel extremely moved and, after a while, he no longer felt as remorseful or embarrassed as he was earlier.
Faced with Bai Yis gentle gaze and along with the kiss from earlier, he suddenly felt his face warm up. He couldnt help but think, if Bai Yi was a woman, or if he was a woman, he probably would have felt something for Bai Yi but it was a pity that both of them werent.
.Huh? Why did he feel that it was a pity.?
Cheng Zhi Chu! Bai Yi!
At this moment, Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly heard someone calling for them. He turned his head and saw the bear leaping over. Seeing him, its black beady eyes lit up and it threw itself in his arms. Following behind it was Ji Yun Xiao and the others. The one who called out their names was Meng Ke.
Thank goodness youre alright!
Meng Ke was very happy. Ming Xin and Ji Yun Xiao also revealed a smile.
Seeing that all three of them were safe, Cheng Zhi Chu was naturally very happy. He immediately forgot about the thoughts he had earlier. Only Bai Yi retracted the smile on his face and looked over at them with a dull expression.
Were you the ones that killed the boss? Thats amazing. I was terrified just standing in front of him and yet you were able to kill him..
Meng Xin spoke excitedly. The others talked for a while and learnt that it was Cheng Zhi Chus accomplishment. The two sisters revealed a look of admiration and they showered him with whole heap of praises rendering Cheng Zhi Chu a little embarrassed.
What they didnt know was that he didnt kill Xie Yuan Huai. He hadkissed
This time, I must give Pinecone my thanks. It really helped us a lot.
Meng Ke smiled and said to Cheng Zhi Chu: Give me your forum ID. After we get out, lets add each other as friends. It would be better if you could also give me your phone number. I promised to buy a lot of fried chicken for Pinecone.
My ID is Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice. Cheng Zhi Chu blinked and said, But dont worry about the fried chicken. Were probably not from the same city?
Thats okay. We can just invest in a fried chicken shop near your place. Meng Xin chuckled, As long as you have money, everything isnt a problem.
Turns out those two are rich beauties??
Hearing their light-hearted tone, Cheng Zhi Chu was stunned. He suddenly felt that, compared to them, his entire body was probably emitting the scent of poverty.
My ID is Meng Ke Ke. My little sisters is Meng Xin Xin. It is the Meng for dream.
Meng Ke thought for a moment and then looked over at Bai Yi: Bai Yi, whats your ID? Lets also add each other as friends?
Bai Yi smiled faintly: Im in Death Mode. I cant use my phone or the forums.
Death Mode?
The two sisters and Ji Yun Xiao were surprised. Cheng Zhi Chu couldnt help but glance over at Bai Yi.
He knows that Bai Yi can actually use the forum. He not only could use it, it even seemed like he uses it very often and would always respond to his messages in just a few seconds. But since Bai Yi had said this, it looked like he didnt want to exchange contact information. Although he didnt know why, he naturally wouldnt say anything.
But in retrospect, Bai Yi seems to be a little cold to people other than him
Cheng Zhi Chu rubbed his chin in thought. Bai Yi didnt seem to talk much to the others. He found it a little strange but more than that, he felt happy. Afterall, he was getting special treatment. Who wouldnt like something like that?
The Meng sisters were surprised for moment. They wanted to ask more about it but they saw that Bai Yi had already looked away and he looked like he didnt want to talk about it any further so they could only hold themselves back.
They found it a little strange. Bai Yi and Cheng Zhi Chu were clearly acquainted but, if Bai Yi is in Death Mode, that would mean that he wouldnt be able to add Cheng Zhi Chu as a friend or even get in contact with him. How were they able to get into the same instance?
Perhaps they had a special method?
This thought flashed through their mind and they no longer thought about it anymore. Afterall, there are many strange things available in the marketplace and it wasnt unusual for something to have such a function.
My ID is Chameleon. Ji Yun Xiao said in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Its written in English. It means chameleon.
Youre willing to add us as friends?
The eyes of the two sisters were bright. They didnt expect Ji Yun Xiao to willingly reveal his ID. They didnt even think that they would one day be able to have their idols contact information, even if it is just a game forum ID.
They remembered when they first asked for his contact information and was shot down by Da Gao. Because of this, they hated that cold and buff bodyguard but, now that he is no longer here, they couldnt help but feel a little sad.
As for why Ji Yun Xiao would choose this ID, they understood Ji Yun Xiao likes all kinds of animals but what was very interesting was that his favourite animals were not the usual cats or dogs. Instead, it was a chameleon and similar types of reptiles.
..Although they felt that with Xiao Xiaos temperament he suited cats or dogs better, but it is his own preference after all so they naturally respected it.
Apart from Bai Yi, everyone exchanged their IDs and prepared to add each other as friends after leaving the instance. As for deciding on who should be responsible for writing the strategy guide, they would talk about it once theyre out. Right now, all they wanted to do was return and rest up.
If theres a chance, lets do another instance together.
Meng Ke blinked her eyes and said to the bear: I wont forget about the fried chicken I promised you!
Ao~ The bear responded happily.
Lets go.
Seeing Ji Yun Xiao and the sisters leaving the hospital, Cheng Zhi Chu also turned his head over to Bai Yi and said this to him.
Yeah. Bai Yi lowered his head slightly and glanced over at him. The corner of his lips then lifted slightly to reveal a hint of a smile. He deliberately said. Thats right. Zhi Chu, dont worry too much about what happened earlier.
!!
It would have been fine if he didnt mention it but, the moment he mentioned it, Cheng Zhi Chu once again started to feel steam rising from his head. His face blushed furiously, and he could no longer speak.
Bai Yi was worried that he may have teased him too much, so he immediately tried to appease him and tell him not to worry. He eventually said: Lets go. Dont forget to contact me afterwards. See you at the next instance.
Okay.
Cheng Zhi Chu didnt dare to look at him. He lowered his head and replied in a small voice. Finally, he walked out of the hospital and returned to reality.
His consciousness darkened for a moment and he felt a little dizzy. After blinking a few times, he found himself back in his bedroom. His room was brightly lit, and his room gave off a warm and simple vibe that immediately gave him a sense of relief.
Wu?
The bear climbed out from his shirt pocket and it looked around the room curiously. It seemed to be very satisfied and, just as it wanted to jump onto his bed, it was caught by Cheng Zhi Chu.
No Pinecone. You need to take a bath first before getting onto the bed. He poked the bears nose. The bear twitched its ears and nodded its head obediently.
But my clothes are so dirty..
He looked down at his dirty clothes. When he saw Ji Yun Xiaos face on his T-shirt, his expression immediately changed.
Oh no. He just remembered. Before entering the instance, he was helping his sister take a photo. His sister had just stepped out to take a call but if she was to come back and see that her precious fan shirt was dirtied, she would definitely kill him!!
That is not a problem. There is a Cleaning Service available in the marketplace. You can use ten survival points to wash up to twenty pieces of clothing. You dont even need to take it off and it would instantly become clean. You can give it a go.]
[Theres actually a service like that?]
Cheng Zhi Chu was surprised but he naturally went to purchase that service. In an instant, his T-shirt was clean. Unfortunately, the price of washing one piece of clothing and twenty pieces of clothing was the same and he had spent ten survival points.
Of course. There are all kinds of services available in the marketplace. Otherwise did you think that the people in death mode would have to constantly wear dirty clothes since they cant get out?]
[Thats true..]
Cheng Zhi Chu thought of Bai Yi and nodded his head in agreement. Bai Yi was always clean and when he was held by him, he smelt quite good
Fuck. This isnt right. Why is he thinking of that again? Stop thinking about it
Cheng Zhi Chus ears reddened and he quickly shook his head. He pulled out the Ji Yun Xiao doll from his bag and acted like nothing had happened.
Just as he sat back down, his little sister Cheng Ling Ling came back with her phone in her hand. With a strange look on her face she passed her phone over to Cheng Zhi Chu and said hesitantly: You.You should pick up. Its for you.
For me?
Cheng Zhi Chu received her phone with surprise. If they were looking for him, why didnt they call his phone directly?
He glanced at the caller ID on the screen. The nickname was strange as well. It was You know Who.
Who is this person..they even know Ling Ling and himself?
He was more and more confused. He raised the phone to his ear and said: Hello?
..
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. The magnetic voice of a young man then travelled through.
.Cheng Cheng, long time no talk. How have you been?
Cheng Zhi Chus expression immediately changed, and he quickly hung up. The phone however continued to ring. No matter how many times he hung up on it, the other party would call back again.
Cheng Ling Ling was also a little helpless. She muttered in small voice: Brother, you should just pick up and talk to him properly. Ever since you blocked him, he called me many times. If you dont answer, he would continue calling me.
Cheng Zhi Chus expression became even more unsightly. When the phone rang again, he finally picked it up and spoke to it coldly.
Gu Zhen, what else do you want? Dont call Ling Ling again and dont come and find me. I dont want to see you again.
Im really sorry about calling your sister. I had no other options. Since youre finally willing to answer my calls, I wont call her again.
The person on the other end paused for a moment. The young man called Gu Zhen then spoke up again: Cheng Cheng, are you still angry at me and want to break up?
Not want to. We have already cut off all relations. Cheng Zhi Chu responded coldly. Also, we have never gone out. Did you think that something like that could be considered a relationship?
Im sorry. I was wrong when I lied to you.
Gu Zhens voice was low and very soft. He then changed the topic and his spoke with more weight in his words.
But Cheng Cheng, I like you. I really like you.
So I wont give up on you.
I wont break up with you.
****
Bai Yis Diary (Part 32)
I didnt lie to Zhi Chu, that was indeed my first kiss.
I naturally wouldnt kiss anyone other than him.
But even if I havent done it before, I think my kissing skills are pretty good. I will let Zhi Chu like kissing me.
