Chapter 357 She Didn't Disappear?Catherine frowned involuntarily, hoping she was overthinking things. If word got out about what they were doing, not only would Dr. Huo not let her off the hook, but those powerful figures would also make her suffer a terrible death.Some things, once done wrong, have no turning back; you can only grit your teeth and go down that path to the bitter end.Every moment is filled with fear, waiting for the sword of judgment hanging over our heads to fall.What truly broke down Catherine's psychological defenses was not the inevitable outcome of the sword cleaving her skull, but the constant presence of the sword of judgment hanging over her head, forcing her to live under the shadow of bloodshed, witnessing her greed and fear, yet leaving her powerless to save herself from despair.Catherine left with heavy steps, and Pei Hening walked out of the empty office across the window and followed her.Pei Hening took a couple of steps and realized that Catherine was heading towards Area E.Pei Hening didn't hesitate and followed. There wasn't much time left in the dungeon, and she had limited information. She had no clue about either mission 1, mission 2, or mission 3, so she needed to seize this opportunity to see if she could gain anything.Instead of entering Zone E as Pei Hening had planned, Catherine plunged into the healing forest next to Zone E.After Pei Hening followed her into the forest, he saw that she didn't know how to operate it, so he opened a ground hatch, and in the blink of an eye, Catherine crawled inside.When Pei Hening stepped forward, she saw that Catherine had already closed the ground hatch. She waited patiently for a while, but Catherine still hadn't come out by the time she had to go back to work.——The hospital is very, very busy.Pei Hening felt like she was a spinning top being whipped around and around, her shoes almost sparking from the ground.After she finally finished her work and sat down to catch her breath, she saw someone she never expected—the neurosurgeon nurse with a buzz cut who lived across from her and had mysteriously disappeared the night before.The other person was dressed in a business suit, wearing a mask, and holding a medical treatment tray with bottles and jars and brand-new syringes on it.Pei Hening lost her grip on the document, and it fell to the table with a 'thud!'"Dr. Nicole?"Pei Hening met her colleague's worried gaze and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm going to the restroom to wash my face with cold water."My colleague waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, it's not busy right now."Pei Hening grabbed her phone and left the office, chasing after the short-haired nurse in the direction she had gone. She ran for a while, following her out of the hospital building, but the nurse disappeared in no time. Only then did she realize that she had lost her.Pei Hening secretly regretted that if she had acted faster, she might have been able to catch up with the short-haired nurse.Pei Hening suppressed her anxiety, turned around and walked back. As she approached the hospital building, she suddenly smelled a faint scent of disinfectant.The next second, a person appeared behind Pei Hening, grabbed her throat with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, and pulled her backward violently."Waaaaah!"Pei Hening was shocked. The other person tightened their grip instantly, cutting off most of her breath.A series of black circles appeared before Pei Hening's eyes, and her survival instinct, ingrained in her bones, instantly exploded. She gripped the other person's forearm tightly around her neck with both hands!The other person's body stiffened for a moment, but he was still unwilling to let go, wanting to lock her completely, and his strength became more and more tyrannical and resolute.Pei Hening's neck was in excruciating pain. The pressure, the feeling of suffocation, and even the dizziness caused by lack of oxygen kept squeezing her senses. After calming down, she followed the other person's force and slammed into their chest."Thump!""hiss--"The other person gasped, his breathing became erratic, and the strength in his hand loosened slightly. Pei Hening seized this opportunity, and his elbow struck the other person's ribs with a sudden blow, his fingernails scraping off a piece of flesh, breaking free from his restraint.
