System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 24: Hospital Recovery

The door in front of her was still the same as before. Lu Nanyin walked forward carefully, afraid that it would be the same as last time, so she stood at the door. She pushed the door hard and it opened with a bang.

Lu Nanyin walked in, took a few steps, and the door slammed shut. She turned her head to look at the closed door, swallowed her saliva, and moved forward step by step.

There was still no end in sight. Torches were lit on both sides of the wall. Lu Nanyin looked left and right as she walked. After walking for a while, she didn't see anything and felt a little relieved.

Suddenly, the torch next to her flickered twice, and Lu Nanyin felt a gust of wind passing by, as if someone was passing by, but she could not see any figure.

Lu Nanyin squatted in the corner, covered her eyes with her hands, and carefully observed the surroundings through her fingers. The crackling sound of burning torches was in her ears. Apart from this, there was no other sound. It was terrifyingly quiet.

Lu Nanyin stood up slowly. Just as she took her hands down and leaned against the wall to catch her breath, she felt someone staring at her. She mechanically turned her head to look at the wall.

A mural of a woman in red gradually appeared on the wall, but the woman in the mural had no face. Lu Nanyin was wondering why the woman's face was not painted on the mural, and gradually she felt that the touch of the wall had changed.

The wall was originally cold, but now it became warm, and the previous roughness became smooth, very much like the touch of human skin.

Lu Nanyin hurriedly took a few steps back and stared at the woman in red on the mural.

Although the woman in red had no face, Lu Nanyin still felt that her gaze had become more hateful, the kind of hatred that made her want to cut herself into pieces.

The woman in the painting gradually broke away from the wall and turned into a real person, walking towards Lu Nanyin. A strange singing voice was heard around them, which sounded sad and distant, sometimes near.

The female ghost came closer to Lu Nanyin step by step as the singing sounded, but for some reason Lu Nanyin's body could not move. She could only watch the female ghost circling around her. With each circle, one of her facial features would appear.

In the first circle, her mouth appeared, and she kept muttering, "My face, my legs, my face will be there soon, it will be there soon..." Lu Nanyin moved her eyes downward and saw that there was nothing under her long dress. Her lower body was gone.

On the second lap, her nose appeared, "I smell her, I smell her, kill them, kill them..."

On the third circle, her ears appeared. She moved slower and her resentful tone changed. "No! No! No! My tail, no! No!" Lu Nanyin looked at her lower body. Tail? She wasn't human?

In the fourth circle, her eyebrows appeared, and her brows were tightly knitted, which made people feel distressed. "Where are you? Where are you?..."

After slowly turning the fifth circle, eyes appeared. They were exactly the same as the eyes she saw at the door when she first came here. However, now, her eyes were full of confusion. "Who am I? Who am I?..."

The woman in red was standing not far in front of Lu Nanyin. Lu Nanyin kept staring at her, watching her walk away muttering something.

Lu Nanyin was finally able to move. She sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, holding her heart, and trying to calm herself down.

After a while, Lu Nanyin stood up and continued to walk forward. After a while, a sentence appeared in Lu Nanyin's mind, "It's time to eat."

Lu Nanyin came out quickly and saw that Chu Lingxian had already placed breakfast on the small table in front of her. She temporarily forgot about what happened in the haunted house and ate her meal with relish.

"Chu Lingxian, I saw a female ghost in the haunted house. She had no face and no lower body. It was so scary. She was circling around me and I couldn't move. And..."

Lu Nanyin kept telling Chu Lingxian about her experiences in the haunted house. Chu Lingxian listened and responded from time to time.

"Do you have any relatives or friends in this city?" Chu Lingxian asked suddenly, and Lu Nanyin didn't react for a moment.

"My relatives are all passing away, and I have no friends... " Lu Nanyin replied.

Chu Lingxian: "..." How come I remember that you have a sister? I remembered it wrongly, it's impossible! How could it be?

"What about you? You..." Lu Nanyin originally wanted to ask Chu Lingxian the same question, but suddenly realized that she seemed not to be human anymore. She immediately shut up, touched her nose, scratched her head, and drank some water to hide her embarrassment.

Chu Lingxian looked at her busying about, not knowing what she was busy with, and changed the subject, "There is still half a month until the next dungeon. What do you want to do during this time?"

Lu Nanyin thought about it. She realized that she was sharing an apartment with another girl. They didn’t communicate much and basically did their own things. She also lost her part-time job. When she thought about it carefully, she didn’t know what to do.

"After you are discharged from the hospital, come to my house. It's a little far from the city center, but it's quiet. Didn't you say you wanted to train well? My house is the best place."

When Lu Nanyin finished listening to her and wanted to say something, the doctor came, talked about her condition, told her to have a good rest, and left. The nurse gave her an IV drip, told her to be careful, and left too.

"Your phone was scrapped in the car accident. This is a new one." He placed the new phone on the small table in front of Lu Nanyin, "I have other things to do. If you are bored, play with your phone."

Without waiting for Lu Nanyin to answer, Chu Lingxian opened the door and left.

Lu Nanyin: “…” Why are you running so fast?

Lu Nanyin had a new phone in her hand, which only contained all of Chu Lingxian's contact information. She had no choice but to download a few video players and small games. She spent the whole morning playing games and watching videos.

At noon, Chu Lingxian brought her lunch and left in a hurry, and the same was true for dinner.

Another day passed, and Lu Nanyin didn't even see Chu Lingxian. She ordered three meals a day and had them delivered by the hotel staff.

For several days, Chu Lingxian was not seen. Lu Nanyin was alone in the ward, playing games, watching videos, and going to the haunted house to test her courage when she had time. She was living a pretty good life and even gained weight on her face.

Until the day of discharge, Lu Nanyin finally saw Chu Lingxian again, but she looked very bad, and there was a faint smell of blood on her body. No one knew what she had been doing in the past few days. She wanted to see her again and ask her something, but seeing that she was about to faint at any time, Lu Nanyin gave up the idea and helped her to the car and went to her home.

On the way, Lu Nanyin watched Chu Lingxian take out a medicine box from under the seat, roll up his sleeves, and treat the wound on his arm.

"Where have you been? What happened to these injuries?" Lu Nanyin couldn't help but asked what she wanted to ask.
