There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The nurse thrown aside was full of twisted jealousy, angrily shouting, "You\'re not needed here to get in the way!"

Xu Shuo looked up at her and frowned, "I\'ve been meaning to ask, why are you here? I don\'t recall calling for an attendant while Little Kun rests."

The nurse huffed and turned her head away, her gaze returning to the boy, reverent and fanatical.

Luo Kun sat on the ground, tilting his head as he watched the interaction between Xu Shuo and the nurse, and suddenly let out a strange laugh, which grew louder, deep and oppressive.

He didn\'t know when it started, but the people around him had suddenly become so fake.

Just like this hospital, and just like those times, so fake that all he wanted was to completely destroy them.

"Little Kun?" Xu Shuo looked at him worriedly, while reaching into his pocket and taking out two pills, saying in a coaxing tone, "How about we take one more pill? If you don\'t want to rest, I could take you out later to clear your mind."

Luo Kun quickly hid his smile and climbed to his feet expressionless, then turned and ran out of the ward swiftly.

"Little Kun? Wait!" Xu Shuo exclaimed, quickly following him out.

Bang!

Xu Shuo, just having rushed out the door, unexpectedly slammed into a wall.

He touched his throbbing nose, surveying his surroundings; this was a restroom.

Although the public restroom was diagonally opposite to ward number thirteen, he shouldn\'t have run in just after stepping out the door, let alone slam into a wall.

Had time restarted, or was it in disarray?

...Luo Kun\'s ability?

After all, Luo Kun had just lost control of his emotions.

Xu Shuo looked down and saw a small fruit knife stained with blood on the washstand, and there was also splattered blood in the basin. He instinctively reached for his pocket but didn\'t feel the knife he had been carrying with him.

Even his white coat had changed, stained with blood as though he had just killed someone.

At that moment, screams came from outside, followed by a variety of chaotic footsteps.

In a flash, Xu Shuo\'s head felt a familiar sharp pain. He rubbed his temples, picked up the fruit knife, and turned to leave the restroom.

Bloodstains on the floor stretched from the restroom to the fire door. Meanwhile, the corridor was filled with thick smoke, murky figures looming within, and flames spread from the end of the hallway.

Xu Shuo focused on the direction of the bloodstains on the floor, suddenly feeling a sense of déjà vu.

He quickly remembered, during the second cycle, Doctor Chu had killed Luo Kun and then came to clean the blood in the restroom; it must have looked like this.

With that thought, Xu Shuo walked over and pulled open the fire door.

Although there was a large pool of blood in the stairwell, there was no corpse collapsed there.

He looked at his knife, deep in thought. When Doctor Chu set out to commit murder, the fruit knife appeared to already have blood on it, unlike before he left his office.

Had Doctor Chu killed someone else before going after Luo Kun?

At that point in time, no.

"I see..."

Xu Shuo had a moment of clarity, "If \'Time Retrospection\' is Doctor Chen\'s ability, then causing the present time and space to become chaotic must be yours, right?"

Turning around as he spoke, he looked back.

There stood Luo Kun, tilting his head and asking with a grin, "Doctor Chu?"

Xu Shuo glanced at him, ignored him, and walked into the dense fog while fiddling with the fruit knife in his hand.

In the middle of the corridor, the fire had started from the elevator built there. Xu Shuo passed through the flames, pushed open the door to ward number eight, and looked inside.

Tao Tao was not there.

Her task should be to leave The Fifth Hospital, and this situation was the perfect moment; naturally, she wouldn\'t give it up.

In the second cycle, Tao Tao had already run out of the hospital.

Luo Kun was still jabbering on behind her, "Doctor Chu, you really are interested in her, aren\'t you? Now you can tell me, what exactly are you guys performing?"

Xu Shuo still didn\'t bother with him, pondering on his own.

So far, four players had been confirmed, although the total number was still unknown. But Tao Tao\'s task was roughly confirmed, and there were also the tasks of Director Zhang and the nurse to be completed.

The reason Director Zhang went to find him last time was likely because, after several instances of Time Retrospection, he realized that he had killed Luo Kun, so he went to stop it.

If one judged from the role positioning of the other party, Director Zhang\'s behavior of having to make rounds every day, the task would probably be related to the patient, or was it purely related to Luo Kun?

Speaking of Luo Kun, there was also that nurse…

At this thought, Xu Shuo directly looked at the lunatic behind him and asked, "What is your relationship with that nurse, and why was she in your room? You know, others can\'t enter your room without permission, and it wasn\'t time for the janitor to check the rooms."

"Doctor Chu, are you concerned about me?" Luo Kun raised the corner of his mouth, eerily saying, "However, if you want to know the answer, you\'ll have to trade your own secret for it~"

Xu Shuo still had the bloodied fruit knife in his hand. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly pinned Luo Kun against the wall, the sharp fruit knife resting against his throat.

"If you don\'t speak, I can probably guess."

The nurse\'s attitude towards him was that of a fervent Believer, probably someone influenced by this kid\'s thinking, just like the initial Chen Chu.

Tao Tao said that Luo Kun had once tempted her to leave the hospital, from this point, it was imaginable that Luo Kun might well have thought about leaving The Fifth Hospital in advance.

However, The Fifth Hospital was already facing closure; one more day or one less day actually made no difference.

His real goal must be more than just leaving The Fifth Hospital.

Within the thick smoke, flames billowed and licked nearer, accompanied by a vague white figure.

At that moment, Xu Shuo sensed danger and suddenly moved to the side. Accompanied by the clanging sound of collision, the swinging cleaver struck the wall, right beside Luo Kun\'s ear.

The attacker was startled, apologizing in a panic, "My hero… I didn\'t mean to do it!"

Xu Shuo looked toward the nurse; the killing intent just then was real, just like before.

If, in order to protect one\'s fervently held beliefs, someone went and killed the doctor obstructing them, then this task seemed plausible.

Which led to the final question.

Who had set the fire in this hospital now?

At that moment, the nurse took out a red button from her bosom, offering it to the sullen-faced youth with a pleasing manner, stammering, "My hero, everything is ready, just press this and we can leave this damn place together!"

Regarding the situation where she had just been in the sickroom but had suddenly changed location, the nurse seemed completely unaware.

She didn\'t seem to notice that time was in chaos, merely following the procedure of the second cycle, gazing intently at Luo Kun with passion and adoration in her eyes, without a speck of impurity.

In the second cycle, the nurse began a fire on the third floor and met with Luo Kun in the corridor of the second floor.

This was also the "Little Mouse" that Doctor Chu had seen at the corner of the wall when he had killed someone before.

At this point, Luo Kun received the detonator but turned his head to look at Xu Shuo standing calmly at the side.

He curled his lips into a sinister smile, "But, the show isn\'t over yet."

It was confirmed, Luo Kun only wanted to destroy The Fifth Hospital.

Then, the second task was almost certain as well.

Xu Shuo never paid attention to him, but gave the nurse a meaningful glance. As the flames engulfed the area, he turned and walked into the thick fog filled with black smoke.

Now, he needed to find Director Zhang.

However, just as Xu Shuo turned around and had only taken two steps –

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet instantly pierced through his chest.
