Chapter 125: Supernatural Invasion, Whose Courage?

Chapter 125: Supernatural Invasion, Whose Courage?

The cluttered storage room was eerily silent.

What seemed like a desolate environment had quietly transformed into an unnervingly lively scene.

Flickering light bulbs, swaying fan blades— A standard horror movie atmosphere.

Ji Yan shook his head.

These supernatural entities must have noses like dogs, tracking me down so quickly?

"Miss Xu..." Ji Yan instinctively glanced at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin pressed a hand to her temple, smiling faintly. "I can keep running with you."

"If you’re willing to be eaten again, that is."

"..."

The Blood-Stained Paper Figure darted in from the chaotic doorway, landing on Xu Xin’s shoulder.

It gestured animatedly with its limbs.

"We’re surrounded!"

Miss Xu showed no trace of panic. Instead, her expression grew increasingly amused. "Our Goat Doctor is quite the temptation, isn’t he?"

Ji Yan sighed and stood up.

But then, he noticed ripples forming in a cup of water on the table.

The surface trembled slightly, as if suddenly boiling.

Ji Yan stared at the disposable cup. Through the translucent plastic, he clearly saw a pale white eye open inside, glaring back at him.

In the next instant, a mass of black hair surged from the cup, covering the entire table before sprawling across the floor.

A head slowly rose from the table, its drenched black hair framing a severely bloated face. The eyeballs bulged grotesquely, nearly bursting from their sockets.

The corners of its festering lips curled into a sinister grin. "Hehehe... Goat Doctor, I’ve been looking for you for so long..."

Before it could finish, a hammer smashed heavily into its swollen face!

The pale, bloodless skin shattered like milk pudding.

The Drowning Supernatural Entity let out a shrill scream, but Ji Yan showed no mercy. Three consecutive hammer blows caved in half of its pitch-black skull.

A man of action, not words.

"Stop—stop hitting me, Goat Doctor! I was wrong!!"

"I’ll leave right now!"

The Drowning Supernatural Entity had made a grand entrance worthy of a horror icon, but Ji Yan needed only three swings to humble it completely.

The moment it appeared, Ji Yan had triggered [Omniscient Understanding] through his gaze, uncovering its [Hidden Information].

A low-tier Drowning Supernatural Entity.

Even a child’s urine could burn and severely weaken it.

Ji Yan almost laughed.

I’m a [Chief Doctor], and this pathetic thing dares to come after me, hoping for a piece of the pie?

Who gave it the courage?

With half its head gone, the Drowning Supernatural Entity scurried away in disgrace...

Hammer dripping with blood, Ji Yan turned—but before he could speak, a sharp pain seized his chest. His breath hitched, his lungs burning.

Stomach acid churned violently, a wave of nausea forcing him to double over and retch.

A pool of mucus spilled from his mouth—along with several fingers!

He kept vomiting, expelling tangled clumps of hair and even an eyeball!

Witnessing this, Ji Yan’s scalp prickled with dread.

As his mind blanked, his throat convulsed. His jaw stretched unnaturally, forced open by an unseen force.

Wider. Wider. The pain wracked his body, his lips tearing at the corners as blood seeped out.

The throat wriggled upward, and a pale hand stretched out from the mouth!

There was no sign of stopping—the hand extended further and further from Ji Yan’s mouth…

Then came another hand, followed by a pitch-black head.

The horrifying and grotesque scene assaulted the eyeballs. Unbeknownst to Ji Yan, a supernatural entity had taken residence inside his body, and now it was forcibly crawling out through his mouth.

His mouth was torn open, the massive body bursting through his entire oral cavity and half his skull. Blood sprayed as Ji Yan collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently…

However— As a pair of hands covered in black sludge lifted from Ji Yan’s eyes, he realized it had all been an illusion.

Yet this infinitely realistic terror was enough to shatter a person’s mental endurance in an instant.

Ji Yan, lying on the ground, body twitching, was the perfect example…

The supernatural hands belonged to a hunched, hospital-gowned Eccentric Old Man.

It grinned with a toothless, pitch-black maw, its wrinkled face brimming with excitement. “The Goat Doctor is mine!”

The Supernatural Hospital Director had issued a notice: whoever could capture the Goat Doctor alive would be granted immediate discharge.

No patient could resist such temptation.

For many, the Undead Hospital remained a prison that confined their freedom.

The Eccentric Old Man cast a cold glance at Xu Xin, who had been watching the entire time, and warned in a chilling tone, “Little nurse, don’t interfere.”

“Or you won’t be able to save yourself either.”

Xu Xin smiled faintly. “Old man, how would I dare?”

The Eccentric Old Man sneered, then lowered his gaze, preparing to drag Ji Yan away to claim his reward.

But suddenly, a flash of silver light streaked across his vision.

It was an exquisitely crafted Silver Needle.

With a single swipe, before the Eccentric Old Man could react, its body split apart like torn fabric, collapsing in two directions…

Staring at Ji Yan, who had risen to his feet again, the Eccentric Old Man was stunned. “H-how… are you unharmed?”

“Supernatural Veil? A cheap trick.”

“The tenants in the apartment have played this to death. Do I look like a three-year-old to you?”

With supernatural organs and a body infected by the Black Goat, how could Ji Yan not notice a supernatural entity lurking behind him?

The Eccentric Old Man tried to beg for mercy, but Ji Yan crushed half its skull under his foot.

Yet as time passed, Ji Yan sensed more supernatural entities silently infiltrating the room.

These Supernatural Patients hid in the darkness like starving jackals, their eyes glowing red with greed as they fixated on Ji Yan, searching for an opportunity to strike.

Though Ji Yan could handle many of them, he knew— Soon, far more troublesome supernatural beings would arrive.

For example, the Supernatural Patients from the Emergency Building!

Those were entities on par with Gu Meng—ones Ji Yan truly couldn’t handle.

Ji Yan turned to Miss Xu, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a white-dressed Supernatural Shadow flickering in the broken floor-length mirror behind Xu Xin.

In the flickering light, the shadow revealed a bloodless, pale face adorned with crimson eye makeup, its red lips curling into a bone-chilling smile.

Its slender, snake-like body silently pressed against Xu Xin’s back as it gradually emerged from the mirror.

The next moment, its red-nailed hands gently cradled Xu Xin’s head.

Crack— Crack… CRACK!!

Xu Xin's head twisted like a gear, each turn accompanied by the sound of her throat bones breaking, eventually rotating 360 degrees. Her neck twisted like a rope, skin tightening and snapping apart.

"Kekekeke..."

The Mirror Supernatural Woman's grin grew increasingly grotesque and manic, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on Ji Yan.

A warning to the monkey by killing the chicken!

She intended to intimidate Ji Yan by torturing Xu Xin to death. After all, the Supernatural Hospital Director had ordered that Ji Yan must be captured alive—she couldn’t just twist his neck outright.

So, this unlucky little nurse would have to serve as the whetstone instead!

Yet, contrary to her expectations...

She saw not a trace of fear on Ji Yan’s face, let alone the stunned terror she had hoped for.

Instead, she found him staring at her with something like... pity? Even sympathy?

??

Why that look?

Even if he were scared out of his wits, it shouldn’t be like this.

The Mirror Supernatural Woman’s pallid face twisted in confusion.

Ji Yan simply watched her with unwavering pity, thinking to himself:

"Seriously, did Liang Jingru hand out courage in bulk today?"

"Of all people to mess with, this dumb ghost had to pick that woman?!"
