Chapter 330: Infiltration
The entire first floor of the Lighthouse belongs to the “Nurse Station”.
When Han Dong steps down the stairs, he immediately understands why Mr. Aha asked them to enter from the side door on the sixth floor.
Not to mention, entering directly from the main entrance to the first floor would attract the immediate attention of the “Head Nurse”, and they would be attacked by tens of thousands of nurses all at once.
The ‘ground’ of this floor is extremely unfriendly to outsiders.
No cement has been used to fill in the gaps, no floor tiles have beenid… instead the floor is entirelyposed of piled syringes, and stepping on it would inevitably result in syringes sticking into one’s foot.
As for the “Head Nurse”, she is also troublesome.
Centipede-shaped.
Each of its segments consists of a slim nurse, and the ‘feet’ used for mobility are flexible scalpels, allowing the Head Nurse to crawl freely on the syringe-covered ground.
More than ten beautiful heads, adhered together by the cortex, make up the head of the Head Nurse. So many eyes that can keep a vignt eye on every corner of the first floor at all times.
It is almost impossible to escape the gaze of the Head Nurse.
This has left Abe and Winry, who have been tasked with finding the entrance to the “Underground Regtory Office,” still waiting on the second floor, afraid to act rashly.<div>
Besides.
In the central area, there is a pure white rectangr partition where the medical records corresponding to each Strange Tale are stored.
It is probably that…the safe storing the keys to the regtory office is also located inside.
At this point, Abe- who has been wandering around the second floor looking for an opportunity- brings Winry here.
Abe looks helpless, “I can’t avoid the perception of the ‘Head Nurse’.
In addition, even if you sessfully disguise yourselves and find the ‘key’ inside the partition, it is quite difficult to find a valid reason to search for the entrance to the Underground Regtory Office under the watchful eyes of the ‘Head Nurse’.
The entrance may well be buried at the bottom of the syringes.”
At this point, Han Dong silently makes a number one gesture with his fingers.
“I have a way.”
After exining his n to Abe quietly, he passes Abe a box of chewing gum.
“Okay!”
Abe quickly leaves with Winry to carry out Han Dong’s n under the cover of darkness.
Mia, who is watching the Head Nurse patrolling back and forth on the first floor, feels a bit creeped out,
“How are we going to approach the partition where the key is stored? Should we quickly bypass it when the Head Nurse is the furthest away from us?”
“No… we will walk directly there.”
“What if the Head Nurse talks to us and discovers something wrong?”
“Don’t worry. My disguise is more than just appearance… Mia, just follow and nod along. Don’t say a word, just let me handle allmunication.”
“Okay.”
Without any hesitation.<div>
Han Dong steps onto the first floor.
He steps on the syringe-covered ground, allowing the syringe needles to pierce his foot, yet his expression remains natural.
He must act natural.
Otherwise, the “Head Nurse” will immediately sense something is off, and the whole Lighthouse would sound an rm.<div>
Mia, controlling the nurse’s body, walks on the syringe-covered ground without any problem.
But, watching Han Dong’s feet pierced by many little holes every time he steps, she feels distressed.
Upon detecting the first signs of intrusion.
The Head Nurse quickly crawls in front of the two at its fastest speed.
The mouths on its many heads speak at the same time, their ovepping voices reaching Han Dong’s ears.
“Doctor, this is not where you should be… shouldn’t your office be upstairs?”
Han Dong keeps his face calm, mimicking the voice of the doctor in response:
“There’s an abnormal situation in ward No. 628. The patient is showing strong resistance, he has freed himself from the type-3 straitjacket, and has killed two security guards…I need to look at his previous investigation records.”
After saying that, he disys the corpses of the two dwarf security guards in front of him.
Mia, standing next to him, nods slightly, indicating that this is indeed the case.
The many female heads of the Head Nurse split open from the middle to form arge aperture and swallow the two dwarf security guards’ corpses… confirming that the smell of patient No. 628 is indeed present in the bodies of the guards.
At the same time, a key is passed over from the hand of the Head Nurse.
“The time you spend inside should not exceed 10 minutes.”<div>
“Okay.”
Click!
The floor of the case partition is covered with standard smooth tiles.
Mia immediately squats down, examines Han Dong’s foot full of fresh blood and little holes, and checks his injuries… She carefully applies the previously prepared medicinal herbs on his foot.
“Nichs, you take a rest and let the herbs work… I’ll go look for the safe first! when I find it I’ll call you over.”
“Okay!”
Feeling the refreshing sensation of the medicinal herbs on his foot and watching Mia’s retreating figure, Han Dong suddenly thinks back to some events in his life… He shakes his head and dismisses the thoughts, thinking that now is not the time for reminiscing.
“Nichs!”
Hearing Mia’s voice, Han Donges to the room where the safe is stored… the safe inside has already been sliced open by Mia.
Inside, there are some important documents pertaining to the nurse’s station, as well as a Thorny Halo-markedrge key, the key is almost as big as Han Dong’s forearm.
“When do we exit?”
“In a bit… Abe should be quick.”<div>
Han Dong leans against the side of the door, carefully listening to themotion outside.
Not long after.
The rm of the lighthouse goes off.
Of course, it’s not Han Dong’s group that triggered the rm, but the rm emanated by the lighthouse’s patient monitoring system.
Second to seventh floor.
All the doors of the wards are opened, freeing all the patients who were being detained inside.
The method of opening the doors naturally involves the clown giving out chewing gum.
For a moment, the lower zone of the lighthouse is in chaos!
The Head Nurse, who is in charge of managing the problems on the lower floors, immediately releases all the individual nurses hanging on the walls to suppress the chaos…
However, at the moment when all the nurses rushed to different floors to suppress the chaos, and the noise on the first floor was reduced to a minimum.
Han Dong immediately pushes the door andes out.
Abe and Winry, seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos, arrived here to rendezvous with Han Dong.
The [Entrance] is hidden at the bottom of the mountain of syringes.<div>
How do we get down?
The answer is one… Dig!
Letting Winry smash with brute force would attract the attention of the nurses, they have to slowly dig their way to the entrance.
Without any hesitation, Han Dong takes the lead in digging…In the present situation, there’s no room for hesitation, so he liberates his right arm, infected by the G virus and swollen and erged, into the syringes.
Like a bio-mechanic digging machine, he leads his team deeper underground.
Following the markers on the old book.
After digging ten meters deep, they find the entrance to the Regtory Office – a terrifying ghost face underground copper door.
The Thorny Key they found fits perfectly into the mouth of the ghost face on the copper door… Then they let Winry take over, using maximum effort to turn the key, as thick as an arm.
ck, ck, ck…
Just as the copper door fully opens.
An indescribable force of gravity acts on the bodies of the four.
As if being swallowed by the ghost face, they fall into the Dark Abyss.
“You have reached the hidden area- [The Regtory Office]”
