Chapter 83

The dean took him to the 9th floor. The number of patients on this floor was much less than the lower floors and none of them seemed seriously ill. Bai Liu felt that the patients on this floor were as sick as he was. The most intuitive thing was that they were all around the same height.

Based on Bai Liu's observations, the sicker the patients in the hospital, the more slender their bodies. In other words, the more they looked like the 'slender man'.

Little Bai Liu (6)'s description of him was actually quite correct. This child's ability to identify horror objects made Bai Liu realize that he might've been consciously aware of this since the age of 14.

There were a total of 21 wards on this floor. The dean arranged a room for Bai Liu and said she would go back to pick up the other investors. Bai Liu was staying in 906, a room on the left side of the corridor. Bai Liu observed the entire ward and thought this private hospital was a bit strange.

The decorations of this hospital were good and exquisite, but the lighting was extremely poor. All the wards were dim and the lights needed to be turned on in the daytime. The brightness of the lights here was also very low and it was hard to see anything when the lights were on. The inside of the hospital was full of high-power humidifiers that sprayed a mist all the time. It made the entire hospital humid like this was the south and there was a haze of water vapor everywhere.

Avoiding light and increasing humidity-normal hospitals would never be built like this. It was as if they were afraid the patients living here wouldn't die. Poor light and heavy fog led to poor visibility in the hospital.

If it wasn't for the dean bringing Bai Liu there then it would be difficult for players to find the various passages here. They couldn't see and due to the water vapor, the ground and walls were very slippery. Bai Liu currently was tall with long limbs. It was easy for him to fall when walking on this slippery ground. This gave Bai Liu a bad premonition that if there was a chase in the hospital, he would have to run very hard.

Bai Liu glanced around his ward and found three humidifiers and one lamp, which was very dim. The strangest thing was the hospital bed. He said earlier that this was a very well-equipped private hospital that looked very high-end. The bathroom taps were in the shape of golden lions but the hospital bed-

Bai Liu lifted the white sheets on the hospital bed and raised his eyebrow when he saw the stacked straw below. This was actually a straw bed.

Bai Liu had stayed on this type of bed in a relatively poor welfare home when he was a child. It was comfortable and troublesome to live on but the advantage was that it was cheaper than other beds.

The straw needed to be dry in order to sleep comfortably. Once it was wet, it was easy to rot and cause various red spots on the human body. In a very humid environment, the straw could even grow mushrooms. For example, after opening the sheets, Bai Liu saw a cluster of gray mushrooms growing in dense clusters from the corner of Bai Liu's hospital bed to the ground of the wooden bookcase next to the hospital bed.

A straw bed was used in a room with three humidifiers. This bed was no different from a fungus petri dish. The straw would rot quickly and there would be insects, maggots and mushrooms on it that crawled over the body of the person sleeping on it.

In short, in Bai Liu's childhood, he would rather sleep on the ground than on the straw bed when it was the rainy season.

[System tip: Asking player Bai Liu (investor identity) to complete the main task: find the prescription to restore your life and alleviate your terminal illness symptoms.]

Medicine to restore his life...

Where could he find the cure? If this was a private hospital with doctors then Bai Liu would've gone to the doctor's office to look for the prescription and the treatment drugs.
