Walking forward along the dark corridor before him, Xu Tong tried his best to expand his five senses, wanting to know the surrounding situation. At least visually, this dark corridor had caused a great obstruction, and it would be completely appropriate to describe the darkness before him as being so dark one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. Walking on this corridor, Xu Tong had to hold onto the wall to ensure that his direction of travel was a straight line, otherwise he might even stray off course in this darkness. He also couldn't clearly see Pierre walking beside him; he had even accidentally stepped on Pierre in the darkness just now, causing him to cry out. "Hey! Are you blind?" Xu Tong: "Even if I had eyes, I'd still need to be able to see clearly in the darkness, right? Is Qingcheng Hospital always behind on its electricity bills? Why are the first floor and the basement always brightly lit, but when it comes to the offices on the second floor, it's pitch black? Is that how you save electricity?" Pierre shouted in the darkness, "Idiot! There are lights here, you just didn't turn them on! Go find the switch!" "How am I supposed to know where the switch is!" As he spoke, Xu Tong immediately felt that beside his hand, he seemed to have touched an object protruding from the wall. Oh, he found the switch.
Having suffered through the darkness, Xu Tong didn't hesitate at all and pressed the switch directly. Click— In an instant, the corridor lights came on, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped the entire corridor, dispelling the darkness. Xu Tong, whose eyes had already adapted to the darkness, suddenly suffered such intense and dazzling light that he covered his eyes and screamed, "Ah!!! My eyes!! My dog eyes have been blinded!" It took Pierre a long time to gradually recover, and he cursed, "Who told you not to turn on the lights earlier? You had to wait until your eyes adapted to the darkness before turning on the lights. Aren't you just torturing yourself?" Xu Tong rubbed his eyes, re-adapting to the light before him, "You didn't tell me there was a light switch earlier, did you? Damn it… my eyes…" When the two finally managed to adjust to the light and opened their eyes again, an ancient-looking door was presented before them. For a very advanced hospital filled with cutting-edge technology, such an ancient-looking door was quite a stark contrast. Xu Tong even specifically rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "This is your leader's office door?" Xu Tong muttered, "Which dynasty did this emperor travel back from?" Suddenly, a sound came from behind the door, sounding hoarse and silent, but carrying a kind of bewitching and mesmerizing tone, "You've come? If you've come, then come in." Before Xu Tong could react, Pierre was immediately shocked and subconsciously hid behind Xu Tong, "You… you heard that, right! It's that bewitching voice. It's too terrifying! I can already feel my hands and feet becoming uncontrollable just from hearing it!" Xu Tong didn't feel anything at all. After all, during the novice dungeon, he had already awakened the permanently effective 'Mental Control Immunity' and 'Mental Influence Immunity'. Even the power of the Outer Gods couldn't affect him, let alone a small NPC in a dungeon. "Don't worry, leave the rest to me," Xu Tong gave Pierre a thumbs up, then took a step forward, stood in front of the door, and said, "What if I say I'm not coming in?" The leader behind the door didn't seem to care what Xu Tong said and continued to repeat what he had just said. "You've come? If you've come, then come in." Pierre quickly said, "You heard that, right! The leader behind the door doesn't care what you say. It only cares about what it wants to express. It's useless no matter how you talk to it!" Pierre increasingly felt that his hands and feet were becoming uncontrollable. The voice behind the door carried a terrifying evil and attraction, gradually affecting his mental state and actions, "Quickly do what you need to do. Don't care about the leader's reaction behind the door. It won't respond to you. Let's go quickly!" There was no way Xu Tong would run away at this crucial moment. His main quest hadn't progressed yet, so there was no reason to leave!
"I'm going to open the door now," Xu Tong took another step closer to the door, "I suggest you don't even think about resisting. If you don't meet my requirements today, I'm really going to quit!" Hearing Xu Tong's words, the leader behind the door hadn't reacted yet, but Pierre was the first to panic. He rushed directly in front of Xu Tong and said, "Are you crazy? Can't you feel it? The thing behind the door is not normal. If we hadn't opened the door, perhaps it would be okay, and there would be room for negotiation, but once we open the door, everything might be over!" Xu Tong turned his head to look at Pierre and asked in a questioning tone, "Is this judgment you have now a judgment you had from the beginning, or a rational judgment you made after hearing the voice of the thing behind the door and being swallowed by fear?" Hearing this, Pierre was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer Xu Tong's question. But one thing was certain: Pierre had a strong feeling in his heart. That was that once the door in front of him was opened, something very terrible would be released! But Xu Tong didn't care about these things. He grabbed the ring handle of the ancient door in front of him and then exerted force! But it didn't open. "Damn, this door is so heavy." Xu Tong took a deep breath, put his center of gravity on his lower body, and grabbed the door ring in front of him again with both hands. [The first time you failed to open the door in front of you made your hands feel very angry, your arm strength increased three times] Rumble— With a loud noise, the heavy door was opened in that instant. The door, which had been sealed for who knows how long, gushed out an unspeakable aura the moment it was opened. It smelled just like a corpse, making one's face turn pale. After a crack in the door was opened, it was much easier to open the door next. Xu Tong opened the door in front of him with almost no pressure. In an instant, a large amount of black mist gushed out from it! The sound of children crying was mixed in with the surging mist. Xu Tong heard a scream, turned around, but found that Pierre, who had been following behind him, had disappeared, wrapped in the black mist, and disappeared from the second-floor office. "Damn, what is this thing!" After the surging black mist disappeared from Xu Tong's sight, the entire second-floor office, corridor, and even the elevator returned to calm. Xu Tong shook his head and tidied up his hair that had been blown away by the mist. Looking back at the room, an extremely chaotic office came into view. The office was not small, a large number of medical books were scattered on the ground, and some medical records specifically used to record patients' conditions were also scattered on the ground. There wasn't even a window in the entire office. Xu Tong looked at the innermost part of the office, but saw that in a chaotic place, only the desk at the deepest point could be described as clean and tidy. And on such a desk, a book similar to a diary was placed on the desk. A desk lamp stood beside it, pouring out a weak light source. Xu Tong walked forward and picked up the diary. Opening the title page, there was a line of text written on it, as well as the signature of someone's name. "My wish is that there will be no people in this world who suffer from diseases."
