After working for a few days with a heavy heart, Ling Feng's monthly trial mission began again.
However, this trial world was a bit different.
It wasn't that he hadn't heard of it, it was just too broad.
[Monthly Trial World: Special World 'Supernatural']
Just two words: Supernatural.
Who knew which world it was!
Why don't you give me more information!
Although he currently had 10436 Will, who wouldn't want more Will?
If he had to go half a year without a mission again, he would cry.
So he clicked confirm without hesitation.
The classic difficulty selection.
[Easy: No restrictions, rewards reduced by 50% (a little game experience.)]
[Normal: Ordinary physique, Qi Refining Stage 1 true energy, rewards reduced by 10% (has game experience)]
[Standard: An ordinary person, normal rewards (a lot of game experience)]
[Difficult: An ordinary person with naturally heavy yin energy, system space temporarily closed, rewards doubled (extremely terrifying, run, young man!)]
As usual, he ruled out everything before the standard option.
Standard difficulty was standard.
As for the difficult mode...
In a supernatural world, a person with heavy yin energy was like a Tang monk's flesh to those supernatural beings, simply put, they were magnets for trouble.
This choice was very difficult. Normally, one might escape if they encountered a ghost, but in difficult mode, ghosts would be like they had lock-on targeting.
Since it was a trial world, the system wouldn't arrange a dead end.
Since there was a way out... he now had two lives, why not...
"Let's take a gamble! I want to see just how terrifying this difficult mode is!"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up, and he directly selected difficult mode.
[Difficulty selection complete!]
[Preparation time: thirty seconds]
Thirty seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
...
After a flash of light, the scene in front of Ling Feng had changed drastically.
"Damn, where is this?"
It was brightly lit everywhere, with bustling traffic, and the air was filled with a cacophony of sounds.
Skyscrapers rose from the ground, neat and uniform. Crowds of people bustled past, their expressions hurried.
"Right, my stuff."
Ling Feng temporarily ignored where he was and felt behind him to see if his things were still there.
"Thank goodness, my stuff is still here... I wonder if this counts as a bug?"
When he felt the hard object behind him, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around, found a secluded spot, took it off, and held it in his hand.
After lifting the cloth, it revealed a blood-red sword hilt.
It was the Fen Ji!
Although the system space was closed in difficult mode, items carried on one's person could still be brought into the trial world.
Besides the Fen Ji, he also brought a few pills: a three-star healing pill, an antidote pill, and a four-star resurrection pill.
He also brought a few talismans, which didn't require true energy, just tear them to use.
All preparations were complete!
Ling Feng rewrapped the Fen Ji with cloth and put it on his back.
Although he didn't know where he was, judging by the architectural style, it was likely China.
Walking around with a sword strapped to one's back would probably get you invited for tea by the police.
"Phew... I don't know what to do now, let's check the system missions first."
From the architectural style alone, he couldn't tell if this trial world was a plot-driven world.
At this moment, he was like a headless fly, better to check the missions first, perhaps there would be an unexpected gain.
[Main Mission 'Survival': Survive for ten days starting now. After ten days, the trial will end! Reward: 2000 Will]
[Side Mission 'Kill': For every supernatural creature the host kills, reward 100 Will. Supernatural creatures are divided into low, medium, and high levels, with an additional 300 Will for each higher level.]
[Wish Mission 'Save People' Phase 1: Go to Kowloon St. Teresa's Hospital today to find a key figure (Hint: the host knows this person)]
[Savior Mission: Kill the Chaos Creatures in this world, reward unknown.]
[Hidden Mission: ???]
As expected!
Although he didn't know what kind of world this was specifically, he just had to follow the system's missions.
Kowloon St. Teresa's Hospital.
He hadn't heard of this hospital, and he didn't know who the key figure would be.
What puzzled him was that this wish mission was released in this manner; he hadn't even met the person.
However, regardless, he would first find someone to ask for directions to Kowloon St. Teresa's Hospital.
Fortunately, it was daytime, so he didn't have to worry about supernatural creatures attacking, but at night...
He was, after all, considered tender for supernatural creatures!
Ling Feng's gaze locked onto a passing middle-aged man.
"Hey, brother!"
Ling Feng ran over and patted the man's shoulder.
The middle-aged man asked confusedly.
"Who are you? What's up?"
What?
Ling Feng was shocked. Although the man's words were in Chinese, they were in Cantonese!
Could it be that he was in Gzhou now?
"Excuse me, do you know where this is?"
"Are you from the mainland?"
The middle-aged man's tone changed to Mandarin.
Holy cow! A fellow countryman!
Wait... the mainland?
What the hell!
He was in Hong Kong?
(P.S.: You guys should know where Hong Kong is, right? I'm afraid to use that name for fear of censorship.)
"Brother, is this Hong Kong?"
Hearing the doubt in Ling Feng's voice, the middle-aged man was confused.
A person from the mainland, coming here and not knowing where it is? Are you kidding me!
But he looked at Ling Feng's confused expression, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
"That's right, this is Hong Kong. By the way, you don't know you're in Hong Kong?"
The middle-aged man was puzzled; how could someone not know where they were?
Wait!
Could he be an illegal immigrant!
When he thought of this, the middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he took a few steps back.
Illegal immigrants were usually criminals or something. He didn't want to get involved with such people.
Ling Feng noticed the middle-aged man's reaction.
The fear and dread on the other person's face must have stemmed from him being mistaken for an illegal immigrant, so he quickly explained.
"Brother, do you know where Kowloon St. Teresa's Hospital is? I have amnesia and ran out of the hospital, and I don't know how to get back."
The middle-aged man didn't answer immediately but stared at Ling Feng for a moment. However, Ling Feng's sincere expression made him wonder if he was overthinking it.
After all, even an illegal immigrant should know where they are.
But if Ling Feng had amnesia, it would make more sense.
He had experienced some kind of shock and ran out of the hospital.
Then he recalled some scattered memories.
"Kowloon St. Teresa's Hospital... you must mean St. Teresa's Hospital on Prince Edward Road in Kowloon."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"It's not far from here. This is Prince Edward Road. Follow the street, and number 327 is St. Teresa's Hospital."
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
"It's nothing, we're all family, helping each other."
Having obtained accurate information, Ling Feng didn't waste any time and began searching for the hospital's location according to the street numbers.
Ling Feng scurried around for a full hour before finally finding the location of St. Teresa's Hospital.
Outside St. Teresa's Hospital.
Ling Feng didn't go in immediately, but thought about who in supernatural movies he knew, and who was in Hong Kong.
He couldn't just go from room to room searching.
He would definitely be kicked out by security.
In a more serious case, he might be sent to the police station for questioning.
However... after thinking for a long time, Ling Feng couldn't recall anyone he knew.
Judging by the development of Hong Kong's architecture, it was likely quite a long time ago.
"Forget it! If I think any longer, it will be dark! In a supernatural world, hospitals are definitely more dangerous at night than during the day."
Who are the most numerous people in a hospital?
The deceased!
At night, what's the difference from a ghost nest?
Although he had the Fen Ji, which could probably harm ghosts, he was alone!
As the saying goes, hesitation leads to defeat!
Ling Feng strode into the hospital.
As soon as he entered, Ling Feng suddenly felt the temperature drop by several degrees, and a chill ran down his spine.
"I need to hurry. First, find a restroom, then use the invisibility talisman to become invisible, and break down doors one by one!"
Ling Feng casually asked a nurse for the location of the restroom.
Upon learning the location, he ran to the restroom at top speed.
Entering the restroom, it was empty, and there were no cameras.
"Heaven helps me!"
Ling Feng decisively tore the invisibility talisman, which then turned into specks of light that enveloped him.
"The invisibility talisman only lasts for three minutes, so I need to be quick!"
He only brought three invisibility talismans, meaning he had nine minutes to search the entire hospital!
Creeaak!
Unfamiliar!
Creeaak!
Unfamiliar!
...
Then, a strange scene occurred in the hospital: ward doors suddenly opened and then suddenly closed.
Fortunately, Ling Feng opened and closed the doors gently; otherwise, the banging sounds would have attracted attention, and people seeing this would have been scared to death.
Soon, people who weren't sick would end up being hospitalized.
He spent a full five minutes searching the first floor with no findings.
On the second floor, Internal Medicine, Ling Feng could only place his hopes here.
Only four minutes of invisibility remained. Once it expired, completing this wish mission would become exponentially more difficult.
He should have brought more.
Who knew that in a supernatural world, he would need invisibility talismans? Although his form could be hidden, his aura couldn't.
For ghosts or zombies, being invisible was the same as being visible.
He had originally planned to use invisibility talismans for things like robbing banks.
After searching dozens more rooms, still with no luck, Ling Feng was becoming increasingly anxious.
He had almost finished searching Internal Medicine, with only a few rooms left.
Bang!
Ling Feng opened the fourth-to-last ward door on the corridor. He glanced at the patient inside and was about to habitually close the door.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in his line of sight.
That person's face was something Ling Feng would never forget.
Ling Feng stood rigidly at the doorway, looking at the familiar person lying on the hospital bed with a complex expression, and murmured softly.
"I never expected it would be you..."
