His face wore a gentle smile.

His short-sleeved shirt and pants were completely stained with dried blood.

Jiang Ran first went to the island's medical clinic.

He had his wounds treated.

In fact, when Jiang Ran tore open his clothes, the injuries still looked extremely severe from the outside.

But internally, they had already been completely repaired by the System, with the external appearance only serving to deceive those watching the live stream.

This wasn't just for this instance—the same had been true for all the injuries he sustained during his many experiences at Alice Apartment.

After Jiang Ran arrived at the medical clinic, the wounds on his chest stunned the doctors and nurses there.

These people didn't know Jiang Ran's identity as a lab rat, or even the fact that he was already dead.

They were simply astonished by the injuries on his body.

Soon, they arranged treatment and bandaging for Jiang Ran.

Besides his left chest, there was also his left forearm that had been shot by an arrow, as well as a calf previously injured by Liu Yongchun's knife, and so on.

By the time Jiang Ran left the medical clinic, it was already 7 PM.

Looking up into the distance, golden hues covered the entire Macedonia Island.

It was very beautiful.

Jiang Ran went to the supermarket and bought a short-sleeved shirt and beach shorts.

Both the short-sleeved shirt and beach shorts were primarily black in color and pattern.

After purchasing them, he changed out of his blood-stained clothes and threw them in the trash.

After that, he returned to the hotel on Macedonia Island.

At this time, there weren't many people on the first floor of the hotel.

He went directly to the front desk.

At the front desk, there were two young female staff members.

They appeared to be in their twenties.

Both were quite beautiful.

One of them strongly resembled Fan Bingbing.

At this moment, this female staff member who looked like Fan Bingbing saw Jiang Ran approaching and said with a smile:

"Hello, sir, how may I assist you?"

Jiang Ran also wore a gentle smile on his face: "I need the room number of someone dressed as a chainsaw murderer, and the room number of an American named Mark. Of course, if they haven't checked in here, then forget it."

"Is that so? I'm very sorry, sir, but we cannot disclose information about other guests. Regardless of whether they have checked in here or not."

This staff member who resembled Fan Bingbing directly refused Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran didn't say anything after that.

But he still maintained his previous gentle smile, staring at this female staff member.

His gaze firmly locked onto her eyes, not deviating in the slightest.

Like a living statue.

"Sir, are you listening to me?"

Just as this staff member was about to say something else.

Suddenly, another young female staff member walked over.

"Sir, the room number of the person dressed as a chainsaw murderer that you mentioned is 6018, and the room number of the American named Mark is 8008."

"Thank you."

After getting the answer, Jiang Ran smiled and strode away.

The staff member who resembled Fan Bingbing said discontentedly: "Hey, why did you disclose other guests' information to a stranger? That violates employee regulations!"

The other young female staff member said with exasperation: "I was just saving you."

"Saving me? Saving me from what? Could it be that if I didn't tell him the room number, that young man would harm me?"

The young staff member who resembled Fan Bingbing said disdainfully.

The other young female staff member, staring at Jiang Ran's back as he entered the elevator, said:

"Not just harm—if you hadn't told him just now, you might have been killed by him."

"That... that can't be possible, right?! That person didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing? And he was smiling the whole time? Very friendly, probably quite reasonable."

"Haha, don't be fooled by surface appearances. Do you remember I studied psychology in college? That person just now, although his expression was gentle and he was smiling, his micro-expressions in that instant clearly showed killing intent."

"And remember, the work we do isn't ordinary work. This island is different from other tourist islands. So I'm curious—how did you pass the pre-job training assessment?"

...

Jiang Ran first took the elevator to the 60th floor, room 6018.

After reaching 6018, he knocked on the door.

But no one answered.

After knocking once more with no answer, Jiang Ran simply waited outside the door.

Out of boredom, he leaned against the corridor window and looked down.

If someone had acrophobia, looking down like this would probably make them faint immediately.

At this very moment.

Manager Xiao Zhang was lying in wait in lab rat Number 3 Hashimoto Kazuo's room.

He lay on Hashimoto Kazuo's bed, thinking in his mind about whether he should first saw Hashimoto Kazuo's thigh or arm with the chainsaw when he caught him later.

Just at that moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

The footsteps finally stopped outside Hashimoto Kazuo's room door.

Manager Xiao Zhang's eyes instantly widened, knowing that Hashimoto Kazuo had returned.

So he immediately became alert.

Manager Xiao Zhang felt that among the lab rats who had passed four rounds, some were strong and some were weak.

Of course, this strength and weakness didn't just refer to physical power, but also to brains.

He had to admit that this Hashimoto Kazuo's mind was quite sharp.

Because when he used the spare room card to open Hashimoto Kazuo's hotel room, he discovered that Hashimoto Kazuo had placed a strand of hair clipped at the upper part of the door.

That strand of hair was very fine—if one wasn't careful and attentive enough, it would be impossible to notice.

And Manager Xiao Zhang had noticed it.

Enough to prove his meticulousness.

"Haha, if it were anyone else lying in wait for you, they probably wouldn't be able to catch you."

Manager Xiao Zhang felt proud in his heart.

Outside the door, Hashimoto Kazuo checked the strand of hair clipped at the upper part of the door and found it intact and still clipped in place.

He nodded.

Then he checked the other hairs he had clipped at various positions on the door.

He had clipped ten strands of hair in total on the door.

But now only one remained.

This indicated that someone had entered his room.

The moment he confirmed this fact, Hashimoto Kazuo immediately ran away with lightning speed.

Inside the room, Manager Xiao Zhang, hearing the hurried footsteps outside the door, was stunned.

In an instant, he got up from the bed, immediately grabbed his chainsaw, rushed to the door, and pulled it open.

Then he looked outside and saw a figure just disappearing around the corridor corner.

Manager Xiao Zhang was certain that was Hashimoto Kazuo.

But how did he know someone had entered the room?

Could there be something else besides the hair that he hadn't discovered?

"I've alerted the enemy."

Manager Xiao Zhang inexplicably began to feel irritable.

He wanted to go back and take a cold shower first, then resume operations in the evening.

After all, he had already made the lab rat vigilant now.

So he took the elevator all the way back to the 60th floor.

As he walked down a long corridor and was approaching his own room 6018.

He saw a young man standing by the corridor window next to his room door, looking at the scenery.

From his position, he could only see the man's profile.

But just the profile was incredibly familiar to him.

"Jiang Ran?! You're really not dead!"

Manager Xiao Zhang's voice was strained, rough and violent.

He discovered that the person standing at his door was indeed Jiang Ran, whom Mark said had already died.
