Chapter 215 Frog Hospital (15) Original Sin
In the dream, Qisi and Lin Chen resolved the crisis, and used their memory to reproduce the English song they heard at the beginning of the copy, and finally got the translation.
“Abortions, abortions…”
(abortion, abortion)
“Frogscrowdedthepond…”
(Frogs crowded the pond)
The wording is not straightforward, it just tells the player directly that the frogs in the pond are transformed from the resentful spirits of dead babies.
The frog transformed from the resentful spirit of the dead baby feeds on the dead baby. It is weird and abstract from any angle. From a realistic point of view, it is called cannibalism, and from a humorous point of view, it is called eating what you eat to make up for it...
What Qisi was more concerned about was that after he asked, Lin Chen claimed that his English college entrance examination score was 146.
When Qisi was in junior high school, he was good at Chinese, Mathematics, and Social Sciences, but he never got into the top ten in English.
He felt that if he went to high school, he could still have dreams in other subjects, but even if he got 130 in English, he would have to dig his ancestral grave before the exam...
Well, classmate Lin Chen’s academic performance is really good. It's pretty good, even better than expected.
"I remember there was a book called "Frog" more than 20 years ago, which had a similar metaphor..."
Lin Chen knew everything and began to tell Qisi about the Off-site information about the world view of the copy.
This information mainly comes from his miscellaneous accumulation in reality.
For example, the absurd statement that "eating fourteen tadpoles can prevent pregnancy" first came from the federal official propaganda newspaper.
For example, in color metaphors, green symbolizes rebirth and hope, and blue represents sadness and death.
Lin Chen hesitated a little while talking about this.
What he thought of were some of the simplest knowledge. Qisi must already know it. If he continues to talk about it, he may be trying to do what he wants.
His voice hesitated, but he heard the young man say with a smile: "Tell me everything that comes to mind, I'm here to listen."
Lin Chen was encouraged and continued to recite silently: "The main mission mentioned the Virgin and the Holy Son. I guess this copy may also contain a religious metaphor."
"In Christian teachings, abortion is sinful. They It is believed that unborn babies also have souls, and there is no difference between abortion and murder. "
"In the 1970s, Long County implemented a birth policy, and some churches in other counties protested, saying, "Everyone has a soul." Everyone alive is guilty, and everyone alive is a devil who eats human flesh."
Zis wrote down the information and praised with a smile: "You have a good knowledge reserve, this information is useful to me. "It's very useful."
Lin Chen smiled cheerfully and rambled on about various clues he could associate with the copy, until Qisi pretended that the signal was poor and cut off contact.
It has to be said that top students from prestigious universities are indeed excellent at collecting and memorizing information.
Qisi had either not noticed a lot of the supplementary information provided by Lin Chen, or had heard about it vaguely, but did not know the specific details.
Toolman has become more useful, which is good news in a sense.
While sorting out new clues, Qisi checked with Cheng An, who was still tied to the chair, to confirm the authenticity of some of the information.
He asked Cheng An some indirect questions about the director, the hospital and the curse of the frog, but the man was either vague or said he didn't know.
It seems that Weird Games will not allow players to decipher all the worldviews in advance through excessive cheating methods.
Although Cheng An's attitude of refusing to say anything is very unreasonable in the context he constructed...
Time passes minute by minute, and the edge of the dream Gradually, cotton-like white appeared, eroding the continuous darkness.
Cheng An suddenly became restless, and his twisting body made the iron chain rattle.
He looked at Qiss and said very quickly: "Hurry up and help me untie it. Use the pendulum on your wrist to cut it off easily..."
Qisi turned a deaf ear and walked away.
Behind him, Cheng An let out painful screams, not knowing what happened.
"I'm not Cheng An." Qisi muttered to himself silently, resolutely.
The purpose of players engaging in role-playing is simply to avoid being noticed by NPCs. In order to pretend to be realistic, they may even inherit the original symptoms.
——But if the original person still exists, what if the role-playing version is not necessary?
On the system interface, a line of text quietly refreshed.
[Partial cutting with the identity "Cheng An" has been completed, and you will not be troubled by the "sick blood" effect for the time being]
White silk threads are messy and scrawled all over the dream. , darkness was instantly replaced by light.
It’s dawn.
Zis opened his eyes and stared at the pale ceiling, reviewing the known information in his mind.
First, Director Cheng Ping repeatedly mutilated baby girls and killed pregnant women. He also collected the bodies of pregnant women without knowing what to do.
Second, the two ghost areas of Blue Frog Hospital and Green Frog Hospital are generated with the director as the core. Ghost NPCs such as the pregnant ghost Xu Qing and the boy ghost Cheng Xiaoyu are mostly his eyes and ears.
Third, the resentful spirits and dead babies will turn into frogs, cannibalizing each other and becoming food for tadpoles. Tadpoles are eaten as medicine or soup, but there is a high probability that they will bring a curse that will cause death.
In addition to this information, there are also some unfounded speculations.
For example, the failure of Cheng An's operation was the result of the dean's manipulation. The dean was conducting some kind of evil ritual using dead bodies as raw materials. Eating tadpoles will cause evil...
Without evidence, Ziss does not intend to prejudge.
He said silently "Lin Chen, good morning" in his heart.
Two seconds later, Lin Chen's joyful voice sounded at the bottom of his mind: "Good morning, Brother Qi!" Very good, the connection established in the dream will still exist after waking up, and the next steps will be convenient. few.
Qisi sat up, and from the corner of his eye, he saw in the pool of blood in the corner, the frog body that had been split into two parts was replaced by a complete blue frog.
The newly appeared frog squatted upright, its red eyes unblinking, as if monitoring the movements of the entire ward.
The blue frog is indeed refreshed every day. Even if it is killed by a player, it will appear in the corner intact the next morning, regardless of whether anyone opens the door at night.
Chis grabbed a towel from his backpack and threw it over, covering the frog's head. After making sure that it couldn't see anything, he took out the sugar bowl with the tadpoles in it.
On the bed next to him, Sun Dekuan also woke up. When he turned around, he saw a strange scene.
The black-haired young man slowly peeled off the candy wrapper, put his long white fingers into the sugar bowl, and grabbed a tadpole.
The tadpole, which still had a trace of sound, struggled uneasily, but was involuntarily rolled into a ball and wrapped in soft candy.
The young man wrapped the candy wrapper again, restored it to its original appearance, and prepared all the tadpoles in an orderly manner.
Finally, he put the wrapped candies one by one into the sugar bowl and screwed on the lid. There was no trace of it on the outside.
Sun Dekuan pointed at the sugar bowl and exclaimed: "Brother Cheng, you...what are you going to do? Give it to that ghost kid?"
Qisi said "Hmm" , put the sugar bowl back into his backpack: "If he can't finish it, he can give some to the patients in other rooms."
Sun Dekuan got the affirmative answer and almost immediately understood the reason.
It is well known that eating tadpoles will cause you to be cursed by the frog. Then use magic to defeat magic, let the ghosts eat tadpoles, and challenge the curse.
As for whether Cheng Xiaoyu will find out in advance that there is a problem with the sugar, that is not something he should consider.
Anyway, it was Qisi who added the ingredients to the sugar, so he couldn’t be blamed for it.
Huang Xiaofei was the third one to wake up.
She covered her lips and yawned, climbed out of bed slowly, reached out and slapped Lu Zimo awake in the bed next to her, narrowed her eyes and teased: "Zimo, why are you still staying in bed in the dungeon?"
Lu Zi Mo Xing's eyes were filled with sleep, and his eyes were hazy and confused as when he first woke up, but they were soon replaced by a clear fear.
He jumped up from the bed and stared straight into the void in front of him, as if there was some terrifying monster there.
Two seconds later, he read in a trembling voice:
[You must insist on eating fourteen tadpoles every day for five consecutive days to be effective, that's what they said. 】
[You have always been cautious, but because you were afraid of forgetting to take your medicine, you failed and even put a label on the medicine bottle. 】
【But the whole night last night, you didn't take any medicine, and you didn't even think about taking medicine once. 】
[Performance failure rate +20%]
This is undoubtedly a prompt refreshed on his system interface. He read it out in public, conveying real fear.
Huang Xiaofei’s expression is no longer as relaxed as before.
She sat next to Lu Zimo's bed and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Calm down first and tell us one thing at a time. What is going on?"
Lu Zimo didn't seem to hear her. As he spoke, he murmured with his chest hunched over: "My failure rate is 60%. Add 20% every time. There is no other choice. Two more times and I will be finished..."
"Early yesterday morning Go out, search the archives in the afternoon, and don’t eat tadpoles at night... Just three simple things, my failure rate has increased so much, I may die at any time in the next few days..."
His voice was accusatory. Huang Xiaofei put her arms around his back and stroked him up and down: "You haven't even written your horoscope yet, so what's there to be afraid of? There have been so many things in these years, which one has not been a near miss? Continue. Just stay in the ward and don't move around. I'll look for clues."
"Well, thank you, sister." Lu Zimo's face was still pale.
Huang Xiaofei comforted her for a while, then asked abruptly: "How is the rash on your body?"
Lu Zimo was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It doesn't seem to be as itchy as yesterday."
Huang Xiaofei lifted up his shirt, exposing his red and white belly, and touched it with her fingers.
Sun Dekuan was too lazy to get involved in the housework of the siblings. He had already walked up to Qisi when Lu Zimo just woke up.
At this moment, the fat man whispered: "I'm not saying that even if these two are biological siblings, they can't avoid suspicion. It's just an expression..."
Without saying a word, Qisi stood up and walked to the aisle beside Lu Zimo's bed, looking down at the young man's abdomen.
I saw that the area that was still covered with large rashes last night had dimmed and turned into a scabbed brown-black color. The scope of the lesions had shrunk by a large margin, leaving only half a palm-sized piece of skin. There are also fresh red spots.
"If you take less medicine, the disease will be cured?" Sun Dekuan stepped forward and patted his fat face, "Oh, let me go, I remembered that tadpoles are not for treating rashes... ..."
Qisi said lightly: "At present, it seems that the rash on Lu Zimo's body is probably caused by eating tadpoles, whether it is a parasite or it will cause the frog's curse. If you want to completely To cure the disease, we must stop eating tadpoles."
Lu Zimo looked past Huang Xiaofei and looked at Qisi faintly: "If I don't eat tadpoles, my failure rate will increase. Moreover, they will give tadpoles for breakfast. Come here with the soup..."
"Ding bell bell——"
The bell for food delivery rang outside the door at the right time, accompanied by the sound of the wheels of the dining car rolling, from far to near.
The nurse's voice came sharply: "Breakfast is here, one of you will get it——"
The door of Room 404 was knocked "dong dong dong", with an uneasy knock. It means patient urging.
Huang Xiaofei's brows and eyes were filled with irritation, whether it was for the complicated situation at hand or for a specific person.
She didn't seem to want to stay where she was, so she walked over to open the door for the first time, and quickly returned with four bowls of tadpole soup.
She placed the tadpole soup on the players' bedside tables one by one, kept a bowl for herself, and sat back on the bed with it.
This time, she opened the bowl of soup without saying a word, raised her head and drank it all.
