Chapter 210 Frog Hospital (10) Statue of the Virgin
The originally closed iron door was pushed open from the outside, and in the cold white light, a boy with a big head and a small body stood crookedly.
He was wearing a white cloth shirt, and his whole body was swollen as if it had been soaked. Purple-black blood vessels protruded from under the bluish-white skin, extending vertically and horizontally like meridians on a lotus leaf.
His head is twisted and deformed, his bulging eyes are staring at the player, and his mouth is grinning with black fangs: "I found you, and I want to tell my dad!"
The red letters refreshed crazily, accompanied by harsh narration.
[The director doesn’t like irrelevant people entering the morgue. You know this clearly and have always strictly abided by his rules]
[But this time because of an accident, you quietly entered the morgue to investigate. Locked inside and discovered by Cheng Xiaoyu (ghost)]
[He planned to tell the dean about it. If the dean knows about it, he will definitely be suspicious of you and even take some extreme measures]
[Failure rate of role-playing +20%]
On the system interface, the [Failure rate] column The number jumped to 40%.
Sun Dekuan had obviously received the system prompt. His fat face turned pale, and his small eyes kept glancing at Qisi for help.
This time, as before, the top grid was directly processed. By analogy, I am afraid that with three more chances, the failure rate will be full.
Encountering ghosts and death points are still something to talk about, but once the failure rate reaches 100%, players will really be wiped out!
Qisi read the two large paragraphs of prompt text back and forth twice, and his eyes finally landed on the words "Dean".
The failure rate increased twice, and the statement "if the dean knew" appeared in the narration, which must not be accidental.
For a role-playing dungeon, the initial rules only stated that the role-playing should not arouse the suspicion of the NPC, but later on, even being discovered by ghosts would be considered a failure in the role-playing.
The weird game will not increase the requirements for no reason, unless... there is a chain reaction hidden under the surface that is going on in the undercurrent.
Being seen by ghosts and monsters is only the cause, but being known by NPCs such as the dean is the result.
To put it simply, the ghost will inform the dean of the information discovered. They are the dean's ears and eyes.
[The clue "The secret of the hospital" has been updated, and the new clue "The secret of the director" needs to be completed]
A line of silver prompts flashed before his eyes, confirming Qiss's guess.
The mastermind behind the long-term misappropriation of corpses in the hospital, whether it is based on the usual routine of horror stories or based on common sense, is most likely the director in charge of all matters in the hospital.
But is the answer so obvious? Isn’t it too cliché?
Qismo rubbed his chin and thought idly: With the bad taste of the weird game, when the copy is halfway through, something will happen, right?
The boy standing at the door seemed dissatisfied with Chiss's neglect. His face, which was originally a bit of a living person, exuded a green-black color belonging to a corpse, and a black umbilical cord emerged from his clothes. He stretched out his hand, trying to wrap it around Qisi's neck.
The cursed pendulum flew out in an instant, blocking the path of the umbilical cord in mid-air. Qisi turned sideways and took a few steps to the boy's side, but he pressed his head with his hand and smiled slightly: "Xiaoyu, you are so naughty, I want to tell your father."
Everything happened In the flash of lightning, Sun Dekuan had just reacted and was about to take action when he saw his teammate's face was kind and kind, talking to the boy who was obviously a ghost in the tone of elders teasing relatives' children.
What is going on? what happens? who I am? Where am I?
Cheng Xiaoyu is also messy.
This is the first time this ghost kid saw someone he was not afraid of. He was stunned for two seconds before tilting his head and asking: "Who are you?"
While controlling the cursed pendulum to tightly wrap around the struggling umbilical cord, Qisi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Uncle hasn't been back for several years, so it's normal that you don't recognize him. If Dad hadn't shown me your photo, , I can’t recognize you at first sight.”
“Uncle? But I don’t remember my father saying that I have an uncle...” Cheng Xiaoyu’s face returned to the pale color of an ordinary corpse, showing confusion. look.
Qisi’s expression did not change. He took off the badge with the word [Cheng An] written on it from his chest and handed it over: "My name is Cheng An. Your father is my cousin. In the early years, I I really haven’t met him very often, and I only got in touch with him after he was transferred from a hospital in the city recently.”
The surnames “Cheng An” and “Cheng Ping” can easily arouse the feelings of others. The association; Qisi's expression is particularly sincere, and there is no flaw in it from beginning to end.
Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened even more, and he looked up and down Qisi's face, as if he wanted to judge the truth of these words.
After a while, the umbilical cord turned into an afterimage and got back into his clothes. He grinned and said, "But uncle, if you enter the morgue, dad will be angry."
Qisi spoke. I have checked the system interface over time to make sure that all text has been refreshed and there are no false clues mixed in.
He took back the cursed pendulum, lowered his eyes, and put the badge back on his chest: "Xiaoyu, have you forgotten? It was obviously you who pushed uncle's friend in, wasn't it? Uncle knows your father He would be angry and wanted to leave as soon as possible, but found that the door was locked from the outside - it was you who did it, right? "
Qisi said, dragging Sun Dekuan who was standing aside in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, and turned around He looked up, revealing the small bloody handprints on his back.
Sun Dekuan came to his senses and hurriedly helped: "It's really unlucky. If I hadn't been pushed by you and fell in, I entered the morgue after I had eaten enough and had nothing to do... I would have just pushed him. , but when I turned around, the door was locked by you. Now you want to file a complaint. Isn’t this unfair? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu fell silent, and his protruding eyes retracted into their sockets, turning irregularly, as if he was thinking.
Qisi took out the sugar bowl he bought casually from his backpack and sighed: "Your father works very hard and has to deal with many things every day. Let's not disturb him with such small things, okay? Okay?”
“Well, uncle will give you a piece of candy. You can take him around to get familiar with the new environment.”
The young man’s dark eyes reflected clearly. The figure looked particularly sincere and gentle.
Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a while, nodded and shook his head: "No, I want two pieces of candy."
"Uh-huh, uncle, let me give you one more piece." Qisi generously took out three pieces of candy from the sugar bowl and put them in Cheng Xiaoyu's hand. He did not forget to add in the tone of an elder admonishing a junior, "Don't eat it all at once, be careful of tooth decay." "
As if he didn't hear it, Cheng Xiaoyu stuffed the three pieces of candy into his mouth and swallowed it, grinning at Qisi: "Thank you, uncle! I'll take uncle to play in the pond!"
The red words in front of you gradually faded, and the silver-white handwriting refreshed to take over the previous paragraph:
[Cheng Xiaoyu (ghost)’s prank was discovered by you. He knew that he was in the wrong and didn’t want to disturb Xinxin with trivial matters. Dean. 】
【No third person will know about your entry into the morgue before tomorrow, and maybe no one will know until the day after tomorrow. 】
[The director has not cast too many doubts on you yet. Your disguise is quite successful and you will be able to continue to operate safely in the hospital. ]
[Performance failure rate -15%]
On the system interface, the [Failure rate] number is reduced to 25%.
Sun Dekuan watched in confusion as Qisi changed the matter of complaining to the dean to a question of giving a few candies, and then vaguely reached a consensus with the ghost child to lead the way.
He also got the "Secret of the Hospital" clue and could see the last line of words "Give me a piece of candy and I will take you through the foggy forest to see the frogs by the pond".
But who could have thought of such a bizarre solution in the first place?
For a moment, Sun Dekuan looked at Qisi with a heated gaze. He felt even more confident and hugged this young man's thigh tightly, maybe he could really pass the TE level!
Cheng Xiaoyu jumped towards the wide open door at the bottom of the corridor, stepped into the white mist with ghostly figures, and did not forget to turn around and say hello: "Two uncles, walk faster, it will get dark. I can't come back!" The thick fog blurred his outline, and the words "I can't come back" sounded like a prophecy in a horror story.
Qisi held the destiny pocket watch and followed Cheng Xiaoyu calmly into the fog. Sun Dekuan gritted his teeth and followed after all.
The two people and one ghost were all submerged in the vast white fog, and the scene in front of them was not as unclear as imagined.
The corridor with cement walls is as narrow as an elevator shaft, and the rusty iron handles and stairs made of steel bars make it look like a half-finished building.
The mist formed by condensation of water vapor floats in the air. There are no windows on the dark walls, and the road in front of you can only be seen clearly through the faint light leaking from the cracks in the cement.
Cheng Xiaoyu stepped on the uneven steps with familiarity and dexterity, as if he had walked it countless times, and jumped steadily across the gaps between the steel bars.
Qisi and Sun Dekuan followed in his footsteps and followed step by step, being careful enough not to miss the mark.
The stairs seemed to have no end. The two followed the ghost who led the way, spinning around and around, mechanically stepping through the steps one after another.
Just when Qiss thought he was about to penetrate deep into the center of the earth, there was finally a glimmer of light ahead.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head 180 degrees and said with a smile: "We're here, it's just ahead!"
As his words fell, the skylight not far away became brighter and brighter. As we got closer, the white mist that smelled of formalin and disinfectant gradually dissipated, and the steel and concrete rows on both sides moved back, and were soon left behind.
In front of you is a forest of towering trees. They are the most common shrubs and waterside plants, but for some reason they are so lush that they can almost engulf any pedestrians who enter by mistake.
Surrounded by shrubs, the open space covered with wet silt lies quietly, with a huge pit sunken deeply in the middle, and a circle of white, palm-sized stones is built around the edge to create an artificial pond.
In the middle of the pond, there is a pure white round stone platform, on which stands a marble statue of the Virgin. The configuration reminds Zis of Michelangelo's "Lamentation of Christ" statue.
The Virgin, with a sad and compassionate expression, is sitting on the stone platform, her robe and veil hanging weakly on her body, her hands spread out seem to be holding something, but the place where Christ's body should be lying is empty.
At the moment of vision, Qiss felt that his thoughts seemed to be connected with a distant and turbulent wave of thoughts, and countless overlapping echoes instantly surged in his ears.
“Where is my child? Please tell me, where is my child?”
"Give me a child, it's hard for me to have a child, I just want a child..."
"You lied to me, I clearly heard his cry, he is alive!"< br>
Sadness, grief, anger, unwillingness, all kinds of negative emotions flow through the filter of thoughts like a torrent, settling into a dark and condensed darkness.
A drop of blood and tears flowed from the white cheek of the Virgin Mary, and disappeared like an illusion after falling into the pond.
[The main mission has been refreshed]
[Main Mission: Searching for the Statue of the Holy Son]
Under the original [Current Mission], a new mission word was refreshed, and the cold electronic sound seemed extremely harsh for some reason.
Sun Dekuan did not care that Cheng Xiaoyu was still ahead, and immediately patted Qisi on the shoulder: "Brother Cheng, what is going on? The current mission is not over yet, and another main mission appears? This statue of the Holy Son of Laoshizi Where are we going to find it?”
Chisi felt like he was being watched, as if countless souls that had been scattered between heaven and earth condensed into a high-dimensional behemoth, licking the field of vision with the gaze of a mother looking at a baby. All living things within.
Instead of being comforted, he felt queasy, as if his whole body was covered in sticky juice.
Fortunately, that weird feeling only existed for two seconds and then disappeared. The colors between heaven and earth were clear, and there were ghosts and no gods.
Qisi pursed his lips and walked forward and sat down on the edge of the pond. His upper body in a white coat cast a shadow of a figure on the water.
The group of frogs that were submerged in the water were alarmed by the figure, and they came to the surface one after another, gathering under the shadow and biting greedily, trying to eat them.
A large group of blue frogs surged and fell like waves, splashing gray-white water as they collided with the water. There were a few green frogs as decorations among them, and they flapped their cheeks and screamed loudly with each breath.
These few frog calls seemed to turn on a switch, and all the frogs in the pond began to scream "quack, quack, quack," like a symphony orchestra. Endless.
They know it is noise, but they prefer to use noise to annoy people, just like a bad fringe person who uses teasing to attract the attention of others. Especially the green frog was the most active. While calling back, he jumped to the statue of the Virgin and jumped up and down to beat the rhythm.
The clue says, [Blue Frog Hospital raises blue frogs, and Green Frog Hospital raises green frogs]. So, where do these green frogs in Blue Frog Hospital come from?
Chis stared at the green frogs surrounding the statue of the Virgin, lost in thought.
If the frogs between the two hospitals are flowing, will other things also flow with each other? Such as patients, such as corpses, such as sin...
After a while, a few frogs finally realized that what was projected in the water was just a shadow, and sank back to the bottom to rest without interest. There were also a few frogs that jumped ashore angrily and rushed towards Qiss.
Zeiss reacted very quickly and dodged sideways, took a few steps back, and swung the cursed pendulum out of his sleeves.
Cheng Xiaoyu next to him seemed to see what he was thinking, and turned to look at him: "Uncle, you can't hurt the frog. If you hurt the frog, you will be cursed."
"Is it a curse? Thank you. Reminder." A smile appeared on Qiss's lips, and his large sleeves hung down to his wrists, perfectly covering the bloody pendulum.
In Blue Frog Hospital, almost every operation patient in the past few days will bleed to death. It is said that they are cursed...
Are frogs so powerful?
Qisi thought of the dozens of frogs killed by Huang Xiaofei, and his smile became even bigger. He grabbed a frog that jumped at him and threw it back into the water.
The water surface splashed high, and the other frogs lurking in the water did not have time to distinguish what fell into the water. They just thought it was food thrown in, and swarmed up and started biting desperately.
The unlucky frog was quickly torn into pieces. The legs and meat residue were scattered in the water. The crimson blood spread in the water, dyeing all the nearby frogs red.
Qisi pointed his chin with his finger and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with a half-smile: "Xiaoyu, do you think if a frog kills a frog, will he be cursed?"
Cheng Xiaoyu swallowed He spat, feeling for no reason that this human being looked scarier than a ghost like him.
But after all, he was too young to know what fear was. He only bared his teeth anxiously: "I don't know, no one knows. It's getting late. I've already taken my uncle to see the pond. Let's go back. "
Qisi smiled and asked: "Can I ask you to lead us again tomorrow?"
Cheng Xiaoyu twisted his neck, hesitated for a long time, and then said reluctantly: "Yes, but you need a lot of sugar."
