The temperatures were hot during summertime in Nancheng but perhaps because of the good green features of the hospital, one can feel the temperature plummet by a few degrees as asoon as they enter.
“Please sign the visitor registration form.” The woman at the front desk recognized Shi Sui and couldn’t help but look at him a few more times.
The man was tall, with outstanding proportions, broad shoulders and long legs. He was dressed casually in a black silk shirt.
His gold-rimmed glasses softened the sharp edges between his eyebrows and eyes, and every inch was softened as if a filter had been added above his face.
When he looked down to sign his name, his eyelashes cast a faint shadow.
His handwriting seemed to have its own aura.
“Okay.” He slid the form back.

When she was far away, she raised her hand and knocked gently on the door twice.
The door was swiftly pulled open, revealing a dry and haggard face.
Qin Wanyan was no longer as fresh-looking and beautiful as she used to be. Her hair, which had been permed and dyed too many times without careful care, had become as frizzy as weeds, and the ends of her hair had faded to an unsightly yellowish hue.
She had lost a lot of weight, and when she saw Shi Sui, her eyes were shockingly glistening.
“Shi Sui!” She was surprised and delighted. She then asked cautiously, “Are you... you here to save me?”
The man was poised and at ease as he said, “Good morning, Miss Qin.”
“You must have come to save me!” Qin Wanyan tried to grab Shi Sui’s wrist, but the man dodged swiftly.
She lunged in vain, but was not discouraged and instead, humbly begged, “Please, help me, I am not mentally ill! I’m really not! I’m just locked in here!!”
Ever since she suggested the system to replace her with Xiang Yi to complete the task, everything has changed.
She was no longer the “Chosen One” who was selected to be a transmigrator but rather, she was exiled by the system.
Her career was ruined, her family and friends were inexplicably leaving her one by one. She could feel her life passing by little by little, and every time she woke up from a nap, she seemed to have aged a few years.
However, this was not the most terrifying part...
What is scary is that this building is full of patients with mental illness!
For example, every night, there will be all kinds of strange sounds in the corridor. The patient next door will suddenly knock on her door, and then let out eerie laughter...
The physical and mental torture had long droe Qin Wanyan is already going crazy.
Shi Sui said, “Let’s talk, if you can give me the information I want, I will consider helping you.”

Qin Wanyan was wrapped in a thick knitted jacket with a blue and white hospital gown.
She shivered and said, “You know what? I’m a transmigrator! The kind that can travel to other worlds!”
Two patients who were walking passed by.
One giggled and mocked, “Look, look, look, she’s a psycho!”
The other one licked his lollipop. “Yeah, she’s very sick.”
Qin Wanyan was speechles.
“Being called mentally ill... Is there anything more ironic in the world than that?” She laughed bitterly, “Forget it, I know, you won’t believe me...”
Unexpectedly the man faintly said, “I believe you.”
Qin Wanyan was shocked.
She was overjoyed, like a drowning man who had clutched the last straw. “Really?”
Shi Sui looked at her, his eyes extraordinarily gentle under the warm daylight. “Yes.”
Qin Wanyan let out a long sob. “T-the system is a fraud! All of this, is a scam!”
