Chapter 2866 Being with you makes me exceptionally lucky.
Tokino asked, slightly surprised, "Aren't you afraid?"
Charlene smiled slightly and replied, "I should be afraid, but... maybe it's because I've seen the real thing, so I'm not afraid of the fake one?"
Shi Ye was speechless for a moment, then chuckled.
Well, she's a doctor, after all; she's probably seen corpses before.
He said, "It seems I have good luck; I drew a good lot."
Charlene nodded in agreement, her tone filled with delight: "Come to think of it, it seems like I'm just extra lucky when I'm with you!"
Every time a mission encounters a problem, it manages to turn around unexpectedly.
I was initially quite afraid of haunted houses, but because the house I drew happened to be related to my profession, my fear was reduced by more than half.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ye said with a relaxed expression, "Since you're not afraid anymore, our mission should be able to progress very quickly."
First, look for clues and see if any of them are useful.
Charlene responded softly with an "okay," and then she and Shino walked into the archives room one after the other.
The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of old paper and dust.
The two tacitly split up and began searching for possible clues among the densely packed file shelves.
Many of the files here are just for show.
After searching around, Charlene found an old, quaint book under the skeleton.
It looks like a diary.
The diary's owner is an intern doctor named "Fiona".
Charlene carefully opened the diary and read it page by page.
The initial entries were quite normal, mostly details of daily work and reflections on life, revealing a young medical worker's enthusiasm for his work and his aspirations for the future.
However, when turning to the entry for June 7th, the contents of the diary began to subtly change.
In her diary, Fiona mentioned that Professor Ethan had proposed a groundbreaking research theory in the conference room that day, but it was met with strong opposition because the idea was too advanced and inhuman.
On June 20, Professor Ethan reiterated his theory, but it still met with opposition.
On August 11, the dean greatly admired Professor Ethan, and the two chatted in the office for more than an hour. When Professor Ethan came out, his face was filled with undisguised excitement and agitation, which was in stark contrast to his previous frustration when he was repeatedly rejected.
On December 3, Professor Ethan was suddenly transferred from his original position. According to internal sources, the reason was a serious bribery case. The hospital management quickly intervened to investigate and made a decision. Professor Ethan, however, was not saddened at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.
On December 14th, a colleague went missing at the hospital. Family and friends searched extensively without success and eventually reported the incident to the police. The police launched a comprehensive search, questioning relevant personnel and reviewing surveillance footage, but no matter how hard they tried, the colleague seemed to have vanished into thin air.
On December 16th, a patient whose condition had been stable and who had been successfully revived suddenly deteriorated and died shortly afterward. The family was distraught, causing a disturbance at the hospital and demanding an investigation. Although the hospital conducted a preliminary investigation, it ultimately failed to find a definitive cause and provided a hasty conclusion.
On December 17, two nurses on duty went missing on the same day.
On December 18th, the cleaning lady disappeared, and rumors circulated that the hospital was a place where people could be eaten.
After discovering the clue, Charlene immediately called Shi Ye over to take a look.
After seeing this, Shi Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Several key figures are mentioned here: Professor Ethan and the Dean."
The significant event is the continuous disappearance of people.
Charlene nodded and shared her analysis, "Could these two be the murderers?"
Professor Ethan had previously proposed that controversial research and development theory, and then secretly discussed it with the dean, eventually reaching a consensus.
Behind the scenes, the two of them have been engaging in some shady dealings.
Could those people who have disappeared one after another be the work of these two?
Shi Ye frowned slightly, tapping the diary lightly with his fingers, and said, "Isn't this diary too easy to understand? It's like directly revealing the murderer."
Based on the show's previous design style, the puzzles shouldn't be set up so simply and directly.
This is likely a deliberately set trap to mislead our investigation.
After listening, Xia Lin nodded as if she understood, feeling that Shi Ye's analysis made a lot of sense.
They've only just begun their investigation, how could they possibly identify the real culprit so easily?
It seems that we must consider other clues in order to draw a reliable conclusion.
She turned to Shi Ye and asked, "Brother Shi Ye, have you made any new discoveries over there?"
Tokino nodded in response, "We found some paper fragments with some values recorded on them."
As he spoke, he handed the scraps of paper to Charlene.
Charlene took the data and glanced at it, then said with a hint of hesitation, "These data... seem to be some blood-related values, and also include blood type information."
Shi Ye leaned closer, rubbed the edge of the paper, and whispered, "Look here, it looks like it was burned. It must have been deliberately destroyed. Someone didn't want this data to be seen."
Charlene nodded, her expression serious. "Then let's keep it for now; it might come in handy later."
We need to continue searching other areas to see if there are any other clues.
Tokino gave a brief "okay," and the two left the room quickly without lingering, heading to the next one.
The second room they entered was a dispensing room.
Because of the neglect, many bottles and jars were scattered all over the ground.
Despite the chaotic environment, it didn't seem particularly terrifying overall.
Dust and cobwebs were everywhere, along with hundreds of tables and chairs, and beakers scattered about. Some jars even contained colorful liquids.
The cabinet on the other side had clearly been violently damaged; the cabinet door was smashed and twisted, the lock was completely broken, and it was hanging precariously on the cabinet.
The inside of the cabinet was a complete mess, with various bottles and jars containing medicines scattered everywhere. Some bottles were even broken, with pills and powders scattered all over the place.
Charlene felt there was something strange and out of place about the scene.
She subconsciously leaned closer to the cabinet and saw that the names of the medicines written on the bottles were all strange. There were no real medicines for treating diseases, but all kinds of medicines with special dangerous ingredients and various biological extracts!
As Charlene pondered the purpose of these suspicious drugs, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something moving at the doorway out of the corner of her eye.
She instinctively turned her head to look, and unexpectedly came face to face with a hideous ghost mask outside the door.
The expression on that mask was twisted and eerie, appearing particularly frightening in the dim light.
The sudden, terrifying sight made Charlene's heart almost stop beating. She screamed in terror, completely terrified.
In extreme fear, she almost reflexively jumped backward, throwing herself onto Shi Ye in a panic.
