Chapter 497 Su Wan Makes Her Appearance
The white light flashed again.
This time, after the light faded, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark purple suit dress appeared.
The eyes of Lin Feng and the other two lit up at the same time, and then a look of doubt appeared in their eyes.
This woman looks remarkably like Martha from the Rose Kingdom in the previous instance—her eyebrows, eyes, and expression are almost identical.
Could it be her daughter?
Evelyn was the first to greet them, her tone slightly tentative:
"Hello madam, may I ask... what is your relationship with Ms. Martha from the Kingdom of Roses?"
The woman raised her head and gave a gentle smile.
The three of them were all too familiar with the curve of that smile.
"I am Martha." Her voice was much clearer than before. "The reward for clearing the last dungeon was that I became twenty years younger."
Wasim whistled.
Lin Feng didn't speak, he just nodded, but the slight curve of his lips betrayed his genuine happiness for Martha.
........................
Studio:
"Grandma Masha has become Aunt Masha?!"
"I feel twenty years younger all of a sudden! This reward is amazing!"
"However, this reward isn't a good thing for Brother Feng—he'll suddenly be twenty years younger, making him a minor again. How will he enjoy the pleasures of having multiple wives then?"
........................
Another beam of white light fell.
This time, a young man dressed in a casual suit came out.
She was in her early twenties, with fair skin and delicate features, yet she possessed a coldness that kept strangers at bay.
Her black hair was slightly curly and casually hung down in front of her forehead.
Hideto Kuroki, the chosen one of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.
His gaze swept across the hospital gate, he jotted down a few notes in his journal, then pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
He seemed oblivious to the surrounding noise.
The live stream chat started revealing his background—
"Wait, Kuroki Hidetoshi? Is it that Kuroki Hidetoshi?!"
"The president of the Tokyo University Mystery Club, the one who's practically a legend on campus."
"I heard that he participated in three real murder investigations and gave the police crucial clues each time."
"With him as the chosen one this time, Japan is in luck!"
"But he seems unapproachable... With that aloofness, can he really team up with anyone?"
........................
Another white light.
This time, a tall, muscular Black man emerged.
He is over 1.9 meters tall, and his shoulders are as broad as a door.
He was wearing a black sleeveless training vest, revealing two muscular arms covered in intricate geometric patterns.
He wore dark gray sweatpants and black tactical boots on his lower body.
The gold chain around his neck swayed gently with his steps.
He glanced at the crowd, then locked onto Lin Feng and his two companions, walked straight up to them, and nodded: "Derek."
"Lin Feng".
The two shook hands.
Derek's palms were thick and rough, like a burnt brick.
After shaking hands with Wasim and Evelyn, he stood aside, saying little and not looking at anyone else.
The chosen one of America, a black boxer.
More and more people gathered in the center of the open space.
Different skin colors, different languages, different outfits.
Some were filled with unease, some closed their eyes in prayer, and others began to whisper among themselves, trying to find allies.
When the number of people stopped changing, the total number stopped at 114.
Just then, the rusty iron gate below the gatehouse creaked open with a piercing sound and slowly opened to both sides.
Everyone quieted down.
Three women walked out of the door.
The woman walking at the very front attracted the most attention.
Her chestnut-brown long curly hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she wore a beige double-breasted trench coat that reached above her knees.
A thin brown leather belt was tied around her waist, accentuating her attractive waistline.
Underneath the trench coat was a light blue silk shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing her collarbone.
She wore a dark gray pencil skirt, the hem of which was an inch below her knees, and nude low-heeled leather shoes.
She looked neither like a nurse nor a doctor.
He seems more like an administrative manager of a large company.
Two female security guards followed behind her, wearing dark blue short-sleeved uniforms with the "Yongshan Hospital" logo embroidered on their left arms.
Black trousers, black non-slip shoes, and a walkie-talkie and rubber baton strapped to his waist.
Both of them had short, ear-length hair, delicate features, but serious expressions.
A soft "wow" rang out from the crowd.
"So beautiful..."
"Is that a celebrity in the middle...?"
Lin Feng stood in the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He lowered his head and quietly unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt.
The neckline slid open to the sides, revealing the clear and powerful curve above the pectoral muscles.
Su Wan's gaze swept across everyone's faces.
Then it stopped on a certain face.
Lin Feng.
Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment—then slid down uncontrollably, landing on the sharply defined lines of his features.
In an instant, her cheeks flushed a very light pink, like the earliest cherry blossoms of spring falling on the snow.
[Ding, Su Wan's favorability towards the host increases by 5]
Current favorability rating: 15/100
Su Wan's gaze quickly swept away, returning to the crowd, regaining her previous calm and composure.
She coughed softly.
Everyone in the open space fell silent.
Su Wan spoke up:
"I am Su Wan, the head of the Temporary Personnel Management Section, mainly responsible for managing you... newcomers."
"This dungeon lasts for ten days, but don't think that you can clear it just by surviving ten days."
Her gaze swept across every face in the room. "Now, look at your left arms."
Everyone lowered their heads and rolled up their sleeves, a chorus of gasps instantly rising and falling—
On his left forearm, five dark gray skull patterns were clearly printed, with eerie lines and a sinister aura.
"These five skulls represent your 'life countdown'," Su Wan said, her voice devoid of any warmth.
"When all five skulls turn blood red, it will be the end of your time in this instance, and the day of your deaths."
"To stop the skull from changing color, you must uncover the hidden secret of Yongshan Hospital and completely resolve it; otherwise, none of you will survive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in chaos, with a dense cacophony of terrified whispers filling the air.
"What? Annihilation of everyone? This is hellish difficulty..."
"At least in the previous dungeons, we could survive until the end, but this one just doesn't give us a chance to survive..."
"No! I don't want to die!"
Lin Feng stood still, his expression unchanged.
Wasim stood with his hands in his pockets and his brow slightly furrowed.
Evelyn stood with her arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the skull on her arm, and quietly counted to five.
Park Chang-ho stood at the edge of the crowd, his eyes twitching slightly behind his glasses—he was looking at Lin Feng.
Hideto Kuroki took out the small notebook, and the pen flew across the paper as he wrote something.
Derek looked down at the skull pattern on his thick left arm, slowly clenching his fist, his knuckles cracking.
There was no fear in those eyes, only a kind of... eager light.
