Outside the storage room was a crude operating area.
In the center, an old stainless-steel operating table stood, stained with dried blood.
Lying on the floor beside the table was a nurse's corpse.
Luo Shu walked over to take a look. The nurse was a middle-aged white woman, her eyes still open, staring blankly into the void.
Her death was rather haunting; she lay on her back, her left hand clutching a scalpel, while her right hand gripped her neck—which was a bloody mess.
Blood was splattered all over her body and the floor, an excessive amount that made for a horrifying scene.
But Luo Shu was unfazed by the sight, crouching down with a calm demeanor. He dipped his finger into the thick blood, inspecting the wound on her neck—it was practically severed.
After a moment of examination, he stood up and muttered, "Hmm, still fresh."
Meanwhile, a few people had entered Luo Shu's livestream via the Horror Game app.
Since people were constantly being drawn into the game worldwide, the player base was massive, and some star players had already achieved considerable fame.
Thus, very few people paid attention to newcomers, especially during the mundane novice missions.
Only seven viewers were in Luo Shu's livestream.
Five of them were posting comments:
[Uh… this guy… doesn't seem quite normal, does he?]
[Pfft! "Still fresh" … gonna make the most of it?]
[Judging by his outfit, he's a doctor, so he's got nerves of steel.]
[Finally, a newbie who's not screaming his head off.]
[Not surprising; no doctor has weak nerves, right?]
Luo Shu noticed a glass wall on one side of the operating room, beyond which the corridor lights flickered, as if short-circuiting. A disturbing sight awaited in the hallway—another corpse.
This one was even more… "interesting."
Its entire body appeared shredded, the head missing, with the rest of it resembling a ragged cloth discarded haphazardly. Dark red blood was smeared everywhere, like the handiwork of a mischievous child.
It was chilling, grotesque, and despair-inducing.
Such was the essence of Horror Game.
Staring at these gruesome scenes, Luo Shu felt himself grow even more "afraid."
His breathing quickened, pupils dilated, and heartbeat accelerated.
From a medical standpoint, it was difficult to distinguish between excitement and fear.
Luo Shu removed his mask to breathe more easily.
Whenever he felt "fear," his brain function surged, and his cognitive abilities multiplied!
He pried open the nurse's not-yet-stiff hand and retrieved the scalpel.
A menu popped up, unlocking the weapon slot, displaying its attributes.
[Name: Sharp Scalpel]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Common]
[Damage: Low]
[Function: Cut something?]
[Takeable from this scenario: No]
[Note: The shorter the blade, the higher the risk.]
Holding the scalpel, Luo Shu deduced that this would be his weapon to deal with any threats.
The hint was clear.
He rummaged around the makeshift operating room, examining various items.
Many objects triggered system prompts, indicating their potential usefulness.
[Name: Vinyl Phonograph]
[Type: Plot Item]
[Quality: Common]
[Function: Play records]
[Takeable from this scenario: No]
[Note: Why is this in an operating room? The owner must've really loved music!]
Luo Shu couldn't figure out what the phonograph was for; its presence beside the operating table felt out of place.
But that wasn't the strangest thing.
Beside the operating table, there was an organ preservation cooler.
Opening it, he found a dog's nose—fully intact, nasal cavity included.
[Name: Preserved Dog Nose]
[Type: Plot Item]
[Quality: Common]
[Function: Superior sense of smell]
[Takeable from this scenario: No]
[Note: Does it still smell delicious poop?]
Ignoring the strange remark, Luo Shu's mind, now highly active in this state of "fear," quickly pieced together a plausible scenario based on available clues.
A deranged doctor had been conducting twisted animal experiments.
The experiment either failed or succeeded—it didn't matter. Either way, the animal broke loose, chased the doctor, and left him a bloody pulp, taking his head with it.
The nurse tried to escape but couldn't. Her neck was slashed, severing an artery. She managed to lock herself inside, trapping the creature outside.
But with such massive arterial blood loss, she bled out almost immediately.
So, the question was:
Where was this "adorable" animal?
The lab's door was a reinforced glass door, transparent and sturdy.
Luo Shu approached it, pressed down on the handle, and cautiously opened it just a crack.
Many single-player games and horror films liked to trigger scenes when a door opened, aiming to startle the audience.
So, Luo Shu was careful.
It was a logical precaution.
Two people had died recently, and the place was eerily silent, almost deathly still.
There was a good chance that the one responsible had noticed his presence and was hiding, like a leopard waiting in the bushes, poised to strike at any moment!
Sure enough, just as he cracked the door open...
A massive shadow lunged from the side, swift as lightning yet utterly silent!
Luo Shu instantly slammed the door shut!
Bam!
The creature couldn't stop in time and crashed into the glass door with full force!
Finally, Luo Shu got a clear look at the creature…
No! He got a clear look at the monster's true appearance!
He had been wrong earlier.
This wasn't some twisted animal experiment…
It was a human-animal hybrid experiment!
