Chapter 30 Psychological Counseling?

"I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight," Pei Zhaoye said.

Jiang Xingni's first reaction was to pull Pei Zhaoye behind him.

"Hide well." The girl's voice was unexpectedly calm, which made the head nurse glance at her.

She recognized Pei Zhaoye; after all, the head nurse of Taixu Academy could recognize a new disciple. But this girl beside Pei Zhaoye? The head nurse didn't remember seeing her in the world of supernatural beings.

This doesn't mean anything. Considering Pei Zhaoye's family background, he might be a descendant of some reclusive family, the kind who can't be released to the public until a certain age.

The head nurse had always assumed that Pei Zhaoye brought the girl out to mentor her as an experienced senior, but judging from the current situation...

The head nurse's gaze fell on Pei Zhaoye with a strange look.

So Pei Zhaoye is the one who grew by riding on other people's experience and was protected? He's really a disgrace to their school.

Then Jiang Xingni, without hesitation, charged forward with the patient next to him who was holding a large cleaver.

The head nurse pulled a shotgun from under her white coat, her gaze calm and resolute.

Pei Zhaoye was oblivious to his surroundings; he was solely focused on the scene before him. The fight with the placental man, coupled with Jiang Xingni's effortless movement through the air while carrying him, made it clear to him that Jiang Xingni possessed exceptional physical skills.

—At least he's better than me.

However, during the group battle, he realized just how good Jiang Xingni's physical skills were.

The girl was light and agile. She nimbly dodged the placental man's gaping mouth, touched the placental man's head with her toes, used the momentum to turn around, and twisted her waist powerfully in mid-air, severing the placental man's head with her short dagger.

Blood splattered all over his face, reminding Pei Zhaoye of the eerie scene where he had been splattered with the blood of a shadow puppet earlier.

However, Jiang Xingni and Pei Zhaoye are of course different. Pei Zhaoye couldn't avoid the blood that splattered down, but Jiang Xingni nimbly dodged it. It was as if she really had wings, able to move with the wind in mid-air.

Only a single drop of blood splattered onto Jiang Xingni's earlobe, adding a touch of brightness to his porcelain-white skin.

Pei Zhaoye's gaze shifted, and he unconsciously touched his earlobe, the long earring swaying gently with his movement. A thought flashed through his mind.

Jiang Xingni seems... really suited to wearing earrings?

Pei Zhaoye seemed to be thinking, perhaps he could give her an earring.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Patient Number One, carrying a large machete as tall as a person, grinned and glared fiercely at the mass of placental people in front of him.

Unlike Jiang Xingni's agility and nimbleness—this doesn't mean Patient Number One is clumsy, but rather that he dodges less.

He swiftly deflected all the attacks with a machete, and continued running forward without hesitation, completely disregarding the damage he might cause.

Jiang Xingni dodged because her weapon was too short. Even if she could block the attack, she would still suffer some damage. Therefore, she could only dodge as much as possible and take advantage of the gaps to launch a sneak attack.

But the first patient's cleaver was really long.

"An inch longer, an inch stronger?" Pei Zhaoye murmured unconsciously to himself.

The head nurse keenly heard the boy's murmured words, and a hint of softness appeared on her usually serious and indifferent face as she looked at Jiang Xingni.

Compared to the aggressive and powerful Patient No. 1, whose every slash of the knife resulted in a gush of blood, the place where he stood was practically a juicer for the placental people, and Jiang Xingni's nimble figure was almost submerged among them.

Although Pei Zhaoye tried to suppress his thoughts, the head nurse could still see that his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xingni from beginning to end. Apart from giving Patient Number One a glance at the very beginning, he basically ignored him.

"A shorter length means greater risk," the head nurse calmly added. "Besides, this style suits her very well. You're worrying about her too much."

A nurse peeked out from behind the head nurse, a slight smile on her face, and looked at Pei Zhaoye: "Don't worry, we're all here. If we're all here and you're injured and unable to fight—that would be utterly disastrous for us, wouldn't it?"

The head nurse turned around and glared at her, but instead of saying that she was exaggerating, she shook her head helplessly.

Pei Zhaoye then realized that his worries were indeed excessive in some ways.

How could nurses working in a special hospital be ordinary people? The nurses present all have their own healing abilities. Basically, as long as the patient doesn't die on the spot, they can pull the injured back from the brink of death.

Even those injured outside, like Zheng Pingwen, will not die under their protection; it's just that they can't deal with the situation caused by the strange creature for the time being.

"It's hard not to worry, isn't it?" Pei Zhaoye said calmly, his tone gentle. It was a rare honesty he would speak when he wasn't facing Jiang Xingni.

Pei Zhaoye glanced at the head nurse's expression, then simply smiled at her without saying anything more—he could tell that the head nurse had definitely misunderstood his relationship with Jiang Xingni, and also misunderstood Jiang Xingni's identity.

But there was no need to explain. He thought to himself.

"After all..." He stopped mid-sentence and smiled at the head nurse.

—After all, Jiang Xingni is truly mysterious; even he doesn't know her background! They secretly went out to investigate the wordless book, only to stumble into a new realm of mystery!

Pei Zhaoye could imagine how long Lin Hongguang would nag them after he learned about all this.

If Jiang Xingni successfully enrolls in Taixu Academy, he'll become one of the more people who get nagged.

Their casual conversation was not yet over when the battle ahead was nearing its end.

Jiang Xingni is indeed very good at dodging; her excellent physical skills are the result of years of experience in the lower city.

But Jiang Xingni also found it somewhat unbelievable.

"I have to say, kids these days have really strange brains," Jiang Xing thought to himself, complaining to the system.

In a chaotic world, the only real beings besides humans, who also come from the outside world, are these placentas.

Jiang Xingni could clearly see the placenta and the amniotic sac on it, the baby's tender white or bluish-purple skin, and the baby's howling sounds when their throats were blocked.

The system is a little worried.

"Star, would you like to receive some psychological counseling?" the system asked tactfully.

Jiang Xingni typed a question mark in confusion.
