Chapter20

[Damn, bro, someone should've said earlier that these evil spirits go for this kind of shit! If I could survive, forget eating that meat sludge, I'd eat s—t if it meant living!]

[Another guy scamming for food and shelter, but if that's the survival trick, I'll take ten pounds of it.]

[Gotta admit, this psych ward patient's giving everyone a lesson on how to deal with evil spirits. As long as you can keep up the act and don't slip in front of them, your life's actually safe.]

[What if it's some kind of mindfuck? Play with him a few days, then kill him at the end.]

[Even if it's just to mess with him, at least you get two days to look for an exit without dying right away. Beats instant death, right?]

[Anyone got info on this guy? What's his actual diagnosis?]

[No info, can't get into the psych hospital area right now. Everyone there's stuck in the dungeon.]

[But this guy can really brag. Says he used to have more money than he could spend, tons of girls chasing him… Red Pearl Mental Hospital, I actually know it. They just farm humans for organs there—why would they keep a bunch of brain-dead people out of kindness?]

...

Of course Blood Slaughter knew Jiang Che was lying. Jiang Che said he'd been living happily, eating well every day, living a good life, with a bunch of girls chasing after him…

But he always missed home, missed his parents…

While he was saying these things, all the emotion he radiated was bitter, except for the last part, which was tinged with sweetness.

Jiang Che secretly grumbled—even the "girls chasing him" part wasn't false: sometimes he'd refuse a health check, and the female nurses really would chase him all over the grounds.

Blood Slaughter glanced at the second floor, poker-faced. He could tell the Blood Nurse had gone out, but had no clue for what.
