There’s an old saying: the larger the mosquito, the more venomous it is; a bite from a mountain mosquito will swell into a huge bump.
Now Aspasia is facing a "mosquito" as large as a human. Wen Xishu, however, never imagined that this normal-type creature would resemble a mosquito so closely...
He only felt that this mosquito was very cunning, the type that loves to ambush its enemies.
Wen Xishu deliberately shouted a bit late:
"Aspasia! Be careful!"
He snapped his fingers, turning his patient gown into clay, then tapped his toes, sending a ball flying explosively.
The football, moving at sonic speed, crashed with a bang and blew the head off the monster behind Aspasia.
But it was too late to save Aspasia because Wen Xishu didn’t kill the mosquito immediately.
At that moment, despite the monster being blasted by Wen Xishu’s ball, Aspasia’s body had already been drained dry in an instant.
Her body became withered, her skin wrinkled, and her once exotic face began to cave in, becoming hideously ugly.
The larger the mosquito, the more lethal it is. Wen Xishu silently took this truth to heart.
Wang Ying turned around, his eyes instantly bloodshot:
"Aspasia! Damn it, I’m going to kill these monsters!"
Despite having some complaints about Aspasia, Wang Ying at least acknowledged that she was a member of the Betting Stone Society.
Furious, Wang Ying never expected to be ambushed by a monster.
The last words Aspasia’s withered body muttered before hitting the ground were:
"Eagle... save me."
But no sound came out; she had already lost the ability to speak.
Before dying, Aspasia’s eyes moved upward, seeing Wen Xishu’s calm face.
If she still had the strength, she would surely feel afraid. But now, she didn’t even have the strength for that.
Aspasia died a miserably ugly death.
Wang Ying was at his peak of fury. Wen Xishu, feigning sadness, controlled Zheng Zai to swing his chainsaw, slicing out a bunch of rainbow candies.
Although the monsters in the hospital were incredibly bizarre, with Wang Ying’s vacuum cleaner absorbed full of attributes, and Zheng Zai, enhanced by the controller, frenetically fighting, the three of them managed to get outside the inpatient building unharmed.
The distorted doctors, nurses, and patients were crowded, making it hard to distinguish between normal and rare types among them.
Some nurses’ heads had already rotted, surrounded by purple chunks of flesh, like a human flower made of decayed petals.
Some doctors had extremely long tongues, stretching tens of meters and writhing continually on the ground.
Each monster’s appearance was more absurd than the last. If the scene weren’t so dangerous, Wen Xishu would have loved to study what type of rules caused such variations.
Was it due to each person’s different past? Different genes? Or does the evolution of normal types involve uncontrollable factors?
Outside the inpatient building is a resting garden, and crossing the garden leads to the outpatient building.
Only by leaving the outpatient building could the mission be completed.
Wang Ying, bloodlust in his eyes, let the vacuum cleaner frantically absorb attributes, then transferred them to himself.
Due to his physical limits, Wang Ying reached the maximum capacity of attributes his body could handle, and cracks began to appear on his body.
If not for the rainbow candies and Little Pink Horse’s continuous healing, Wang Ying would have burst from the attributes and died long ago.
This also showed Wen Xishu the limitations of the vacuum cleaner. Even though Wang Ying had reached his limit and the vacuum cleaner had accumulated attributes to its fullest...
Wang Ying’s performance wasn’t sufficient to transcend combat levels, achieving effects comparable to "transformations" or "Kaioken".
"Early-stage attribute-dependent items are meaningless. Instead, functional items hold higher value. A level 5 orange item’s attack power might not surpass that of a level 20 blue item..."
Wen Xishu continued to long-range attack the enemies’ rear while analyzing various items.
Even though his thoughts were like this, he still had to admit that Wang Ying’s current performance earned his recognition.
With Wang Ying’s desperate fighting, the three indeed saw hope of escape.
Wang Ying was fearless. Zheng Zai... was adorably naïve.
Zheng Zai actually wanted to be covered in blood, waving the chainsaw while letting out fearsome roars.
Zheng Zai had powerful abilities; with the controller’s boost, he was no weaker than attribute-filled Wang Ying, but the chainsaw’s style made Zheng Zai seem like a misfit.
"We need to hurry! Bro, I can feel a terrifying entity approaching."
The hospital region indeed housed elite types.
Faced with elite types, Wang Ying and Zheng Zai stood no chance. Wen Xishu was also aware of this. His hands sped up their movements.
"Where are you going? It’s time for your medication, patients."
Human voices came from all directions.
The stronger the monster, the more human its mind. Elite types above rare ones are the strongest below the bosses.
Some elite types are even stronger than certain bosses who haven’t fully developed their powers.
A doctor in a white coat had a body like viscous liquid, dripping bit by bit.
The dripping flesh began to burrow into the ground, and no one knew what would happen next.
Zheng Zai and Wang Ying were on high alert, but Wen Xishu remained calm, only urging:
"Don’t engage, just run. Kill your way through then keep running. Don’t think about fighting it, just run."
Based on his experience from the TV level, the stronger the monster, the later it acts.
Wen Xishu always remembered one thing—this isn’t the Slaughter Tower. If it were the Slaughter Tower, they would have likely been dead by now.
But this is the Deceit Tower. Everything here is a game, and all games conform to the current level’s standards.
Logically, even with divine items on the eighth level of Deceit Tower, they wouldn’t make tower climbers face elite types.
Wen Xishu wasn’t intimidated by the elite types; he knew one thing:
Killing the monsters isn’t the mission’s objective; escaping the hospital is.
Thus, Wen Xishu didn’t let Zheng Zai and Wang Ying linger in battle; the three started sprinting madly. With Wang Ying and Zheng Zai’s efforts, they indeed cleared a path.
"Don’t look back, don’t hesitate, just run!"
The right and decisive reactions allowed the three to finally step out of the hospital doors.
As their figures left the doors, the hospital floor sprouted countless sticky arms from deep within the ground.
At the same time, the mission completion message finally appeared.
