NOVPUBAt the very moment the sound ceased, the person who had been standing in the center of the morgue moved, slowly unzipping the body bag.
Zhou Bai then noticed that the person’s palms were of different sizes, appearing as if deformed.
As the body bag was opened, a pale and unfamiliar face was revealed, the person’s eyelids trembled slightly; they were not yet dead.
"Who is this? How did they end up in a bag without being dead?"
Ever since the hospital had turned eerie, the events occurring there had become increasingly bizarre for Zhou Bai. His thoughts were incessantly spinning, feeling as if everything was interlinked yet always lacking a clue.
The green figure circled around the still-living man, inspecting him, and then walked over to the workbench to grab a large cleaver.
"What’s he going to do to that man? Should I stop him?"
Zhou Bai glanced at the time, only a minute remained, so he thought quickly and darted behind the person, then with a swift sweep of his palm, he had the figure pinned to the ground, hand lightning-fast grabbing the back of the neck: "Don’t move, answer me or else I will..."
With a soft ’puchi’ sound, Zhou Bai was momentarily stunned, looking down at his chest, he saw a cleaver had pierced through, bringing forth a gush of fresh blood.
"How is this possible?"
Time Reverse...
Zhou Bai reappeared at the entrance of the abandoned hospital, gave the hospital a brief glance, and then turned to leave.
At this moment, the old hospital still looked as dilapidated as usual, covered with scorch marks, showing no trace of anything abnormal.
Christina again invaded his thoughts, immediately beginning to churn in his mind, retching as she spoke: "Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! Why do I have to be dragged into a toilet and killed!"
"Other places aren’t much better, I’ll talk to you about it when I get back," Zhou Bai said as he left the hospital: "There’s definitely a big secret in this rotten place. Especially, how did that knife pierce through me? I didn’t feel any change in Primordial Spirit energy or spirit mechanisms."
"And that guy was putting a living person into a bag, it seemed he also wanted to kill him."
"Could the death incidents mentioned by those voices be the doing of this weirdo?"
Shaking his head, without the ability to use Time Reverse, Zhou Bai didn’t dare to investigate the old hospital anymore; the place was far more dangerous than he had previously thought.
...
Another week of cultivation passed.
The cooldown period for Time Reverse had also passed once more.
That day, Zhou Bai lay in bed and first looked at his auxiliary cultivation panel.
Dao Assimilation: 10.0%
Primordial Spirit Value: 1000
Divine Diagram: Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man
Laziness: 13130
Chasing the Sun - Flying: Spirit mechanisms around the body will boost movement, increasing movement speed. Note: As long as you run fast enough, debt cannot catch up with you.
Cultivation Method: (Skipped)
Laziness (0/13000)
"Just enough to raise another star point."
Zhou Bai directly infused 13000 points of laziness into the star points; this time there was no pain, just a comforting sensation throughout his body, feeling a harmonious connection with the universe.
"Will my movement speed increase? Guess I’ll go test it out later."
Zhou Bai then looked towards the fifth star point.
Moon Rush - Barefoot: Walking barefoot greatly increases movement speed, displacement speed, and reaction speed. Note: Barefoot isn’t afraid of shoes, because you’ll run faster than them.
Cultivation method: (Skipped)
Laziness (0/15000)
Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up, another good star point, just like the previous "Lie like a Mountain" and "Naked," the barefoot give an impression of reliability and strength at first glance.
"Too bad, too bad, I can’t scrounge up 15,000 points of laziness right now."
Thinking about this, Zhou Bai turned around and looked at Christina beside him, "Let’s go, Tina."
Christina had also made great progress with the recent intensive training. Her Daoization degree had reached 8.9%, and her Primordial Spirit value had reached 750, getting closer and closer to the first realm.
Moreover, as her cultivation strengthened and her memories gradually awakened, her cultivation speed seemed to have sped up a bit.
A moment later, Zhou Bai had already left Dao School with Christina.
Then his figure flashed, and he shot out like a bolt of black lightning. Zhou Bai felt that with every step he took, there seemed to be inspiration swirling around, as if the heavens and earth were pushing him forward.
Amidst the howling wind, his figure flickered with afterimages, each step covering a distance of twenty to thirty meters, and he vanished from the street in the blink of an eye.
"Good, the ’Chasing the Sun - Flying’ effect is indeed very good; it greatly enhances my moving speed."
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Bai was back at the entrance of the old hospital, ready to begin another round of exploration.
Zhou Bai’s figure swiftly crawled back and forth inside the hospital.
The hospital still looked the same as when he first saw it - decrepit and old, with burn marks everywhere.
Christina: "It seems like after we went to that restroom last time, the whole hospital changed. Should we go again?"
"No, last time I was lying on the ground; I was almost stabbed to death, which was too weird." Zhou Bai shook his head: "I didn’t sense even a bit of Primordial Spirit power. And after the hospital changed, everything felt a bit off. Those people, those things, what exactly is going on?"
"Today, we’ll first explore the unchanged part of the hospital."
Zhou Bai arrived at the elevator entrance, "I want to see what the morgue looks like now."
Boom!
Propelled by Primordial Spirit power, the tightly shut elevator doors were pushed open directly, and the crashing noise echoed far into the darkness.
Zhou Bai peered into the elevator shaft and saw the elevator stopped on the basement floor. He opened the elevator hatch, jumped down, then used his Primordial Spirit power to open the elevator doors, finally reaching the basement level.
Completely different from what he had seen last time.
This time, when the elevator doors opened, a dark underground passageway appeared before Zhou Bai. He used a luminescent stone to cast light, revealing a corridor full of dust but lacking the burn marks seen upstairs.
Amidst the dark, silent underground corridor, which seemed to have not seen visitors in a long time, Zhou Bai could smell an odd odor in the air.
Zhou Bai lay on the ground and slowly crawled forward.
In the empty rooms on both sides, Zhou Bai quickly found the coffins he had seen before.
However, this time the randomly placed coffins in the room were all open, and the chains that had bound the coffins lay discarded on the floor, as if something had broken free from inside and crawled out. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Seeing this, Zhou Bai’s gaze sharpened, and he lay even closer to the ground, continuing to crawl forward.
Soon, a large iron gate appeared before him, which should be the morgue’s door.
Several thumb-thick iron chains were locked on the door handle, completely locking the large iron gate.
Zhou Bai released the power of his Primordial Spirit, sweeping it across the iron gate.
With a series of crisp snapping sounds, the chains were snapped one by one, and Zhou Bai pushed open the door, only to be met with a strong stench hitting him in the face.
