Chapter 218 Frog Hospital (18) Beware of the Director
Green Frog Hospital, staff dormitory.
Yu Kun was covered in blood and fell into a pool of blood covered with flesh residue, breathing heavily.
It only took a few minutes from the first ray of sunlight in the morning to penetrate the window lattice to the white light splashing down all over the sky.
All the ghosts and monsters dissipated in the light, and the white smoke like dust and mist settled down and adhered to the ground, leaving no residual limbs.
All the flesh and blood on the ground came from Yu Kun himself.
At this moment, there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body. The entire left palm had completely disappeared. His arms were as uneven as fish skin with scales scraped off. Interlaced teeth marks and marks were all over his body, and blood was gurgling. It flowed like a stream, turning him into a bloody man.
But he is still alive.
His right hand was always holding the machete tightly, and he was in a protective posture, allowing him to survive from the continuous attacks of the ghost group.
Even though the crisis has been resolved, his fingers are still clasped together stiffly, as if he wants to embed the handle of the knife into his flesh and become a part of his body.
Anyone who can thrive in the underworld is a ruthless person, and Yu Kun is naturally the same.
I am used to the life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, so I don’t find it difficult to adapt even to the dungeon - it’s just that the target of the fight is changed from humans to ghosts.
Anyway, no matter when and where, the same law of the weak and the strong is followed.
Live, make huge profits, don’t be eaten, go eat people.
"His grandma should just give that kid a knife." Yu Kun gasped and cursed, "If I meet him again, I must let him know how to write the word "death"< br>
He sat up with the support of the machete, took off his tattered coat, tore it into thin strips of cloth, and bandaged the wounds on his body in a familiar way.
It was torn into the pocket, as if it had hit something hard.
He frowned, put his hand in, and took out the contents with two fingers.
It was a skinned frog, with bright blood-red overflowing on the exposed muscles. The whole thing was crushed into a light and flat piece, and you couldn't really notice it without careful inspection.
Yu Kun narrowed his eyes, and the scene of being besieged by the female ghosts last night flashed through his mind.
Those ghosts seemed to have determined that their children were in him, and they kept pestering him...
It was clearly peaceful the night before, how could it be possible that after one night, death suddenly erupted without any warning?
Yu Kun thought he understood something and couldn't help but curse: "Mother Xipi, how dare you cheat on me! You want me to know who it is..."
The following syllables were strangled in his throat Instead, there was a "ho ho" sound like a broken bellows.
He lowered his head blankly and saw the tip of a knife dripping with blood emerging from his chest, and he felt a chill after being aware of it.
Behind the ear, an ethereal female voice sounded calmly: "Keep everything that happens in this instance secret after you go out, otherwise Xi La will destroy everything you cherish."
...
Pond Beside, Lin Chen was wearing protective clothing sent by the hospital nurse, holding a net bag, ready to fish out the frog eggs hatched from the bottom of the pond and put them into a bucket on the side.
The timing of fishing is difficult to grasp. The tadpoles must be fished out quickly with their egg shells when they are just half hatched and their heads are exposed.
If it is too early, the eggs that leave the pond will no longer hatch, and the tadpole is dead; if it is too late, once the frogs find the hatched tadpoles, they will swarm up and devour them.
Breeding tadpoles is Lin Chen's job in this dungeon. It's really not that easy for ordinary people who have never been exposed to similar work to get started.
Fortunately, Lin Chen's learning ability has always been good, and he can comprehend any new skills and knowledge surprisingly quickly. It has only been two days and he has already done well.
The players have already agreed that one person will be responsible for the work and the others will collect evidence.
Even after last night's episode, it will not hinder the original goal.
Considering that Yu Kun might still be alive and it would be very troublesome to seek revenge by touching the pond, Lin Chen took the initiative to take over the task of staying in the pond and sent the female teacher to the hospital building to explore.
Firstly, he contacted Qisi, and secondly, he was a man and he was too embarrassed to put the little girl in danger.
The half-hatched tadpoles were thrown into the bucket, making splashes of water.
The filled bucket was taken away by the nurse and sent to Blue Frog Hospital.
While Lin Chen was engaged in mechanical assembly line work, he allowed his thoughts to wander and began to think endlessly.
What happened last night is a bit weird if you think about it carefully.
There were no previous clues, and no events were triggered. Why did a large-scale crisis like the Hundred Ghost Night Parade break out?
Why did those female ghosts believe that their children were with the players, and why did they pursue the three of them throughout the building?
In the eyes of female ghosts, red frogs are equal to children... By the way, red frogs!
Lin Chen suddenly thought that when he was struggling to deal with the female ghost last night, the female teacher was lying beside the pond calmly from beginning to end, obviously knowing something.
But throughout the day yesterday, the only person who came into contact with the frog alone was the female teacher!
"Really... could it be her?" Lin Chen murmured to himself, sweat dripping from his palms.
After witnessing Zou Yan’s change of face in Rose Manor, he no longer blindly believed in anyone’s appearance.
But he still can't judge others with malice.
I didn’t know in advance whether my teammates had any means to save their lives, but they acted in their own way. This went beyond the scope of self-defense and revenge. It was an evil act that did not care about the lives of others.
Lin Chen didn’t want to believe that the female teacher would be such a person.
"There's no evidence. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. Will I try to test it later?"
"I hope...it won't be her."
...
Blue Frog Hospital, after getting four entry and exit permits, Qisi winked at Huang Xiaofei.
The latter raised his knife and cut Cheng Xiaoyu in half.
Once you can go out at night, it doesn't matter whether you go to the pond during the day or not.
In the dungeon, you can definitely see more at night than during the day.
It is known that Cheng Xiaoyu is an NPC that can be refreshed, so in order to prevent him from leaking the information, it is useless to kill him.
It’s okay even if there are important plot points and key clues on him. The worst thing is to wait until everything is reset tomorrow and go through today’s route again.
The access permit is in a fixed format. Most of the text is printed neatly on the paper. Only the three columns of "reason for entry and exit", "time of entry and exit" and "signature of the dean" are left blank.
Cheng Xiaoyu is mainly responsible for imitating the dean's handwriting and filling in the blank spaces.
Within the constraints of the rules, these access permissions should be useful.
It doesn't matter even if it doesn't work. There are still three days. Although the time is not generous, there is still room for trial and error.
It doesn’t matter if you go out at night and are intercepted by ghosts on the way. With Huang Xiaofei around, the players can basically escape unscathed.
Qisi looked at Huang Xiaofei who killed Cheng Xiaoyu effortlessly, raised his index finger and tapped his chin.
I have to say that it is really reassuring to have a teammate with good force value. At least he can maintain the lower limit of exploration...
It is quite convenient.
It was still early, so Qisi and Sun Dekuan followed Huang Xiaofei to the archives to take a look, which verified the correctness of the clues provided by the latter.
What makes Qisi a little concerned is that in the register of people entering and leaving the hospital at night, more than half of the records belong to [Cheng An]. He doesn’t know if the original person coming in and out so frequently has caused trouble in the hospital. Long doubt.
Huang Xiaofei has become more familiar with Qisi along the way. Although she is still wary, she is not too outspoken. She raised her slender fingers, poked at the latest record, and joked: "I can sign the entry and exit permit for you every two days. It seems that the dean has a good relationship with you. If you ask him to sign directly, he might not be able to sign it." Reject you.”
Is the relationship good?
Qisi’s eyes wandered between the records at short intervals, and the smile on his lips faded.
No matter how good your relationship is, going out at night will inevitably attract attention.
In other words, it is precisely because of the good relationship that abnormal phenomena attract the concern of so-called "friends".
The "reason for entry and exit" column says "purchasing medical equipment", which is undoubtedly an excuse used to cover up the true purpose that cannot be known.
I just don’t know whether the dean knew about it and didn’t care, or whether he believed the original person’s words.
On the title page of the registration book, there is a sentence clearly written:
[To facilitate the management of the hospital, in principle, everyone is not allowed to go out more than four times at night. 】
As a person who abides by the rules, would the original person really make such an obviously illegal move?
Sun Dekuan also realized something was wrong and slapped him: "I didn't say that, the relationship between the dean and the character you played is really strong, Brother Cheng. There is no cover up in this back door."
"But in this way, you The difficulty of acting has increased sharply. People who are so familiar have changed their minds and become cold when they meet..."
"Who knows?" Qisi closed the register and raised his eyelids to look at the ceiling, " After all, we have never seen the dean since we entered the dungeon.”
“That’s right, so where is the dean? It’s possible that he is a deceiver and is already dead...”
The hands of the destiny pocket watch rotated "tick-tock-tock", crossing the grid representing six o'clock in the evening.
Sun Dekuan's voice gradually faded away, and all the figures and voices were distorted into stirred paint, spinning vaguely in front of the eyes and ears.
A familiar feeling of dizziness overwhelmed the top of my head, and the surrounding environment darkened for a time.
Qisi fell backwards just like yesterday at this time, as if sinking deeper into a boundless dream.
My back touched the bed board, my limbs were flat by my side, and the breath of disinfectant was poured into my nose. The scene reappeared, exactly the same.
He opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling in trance.
He once again returned to the abandoned operating room at the beginning of the dungeon. It was familiar again and again, and it was no longer worthy of too much surprise.
The only thing that worries him is that the number of times the [Soul Contract] skill has been used in this copy has returned from "2" to "1".
Maybe it’s because Cheng Xiaoyu was refreshed along with the dungeon world, and the contract signed with him was actually invalid, so it didn’t count.
In the next dungeon process, you can use the [Soul Contract] skill at least twice.
If you sign a contract with Cheng Xiaoyu again and wait until six o'clock in the evening to refresh the number, the skill will be able to be used more times.
Well, I didn’t expect Weird Games to be quite reasonable.
Qisi lay there for a while, feeling like there was something underneath him, which seemed to be a folded white paper.
He was in a good mood, so he picked up the piece of paper, raised it to his eyes and unfolded it.
There was a line of scrawled handwriting written on it:
[Cheng An, I am Lu Zimo, and I want to make a deal with you. You help me kill Huang Xiaofei, and I can transfer the Book of the Dead to you. 】
Zeiss crumpled the white paper into a ball and threw it into his backpack.
Since Lu Zimo entered the dungeon, he has been showing that he is willing to be bullied and exploited by Huang Xiaofei, and he also reveals his kindness to Qiss in every detail, which is undoubtedly a hint.
Qisi deliberately showed friction with Huang Xiaofei in the ward in the morning. This was his response to Lu Zimo, which made him feel relieved to join the game.
But at this moment, he was not interested in the love-hate relationship between Huang Xiaofei and Lu Zimo. Even if he wanted to form a conspiracy, it would be a matter of the future.
What concerned him more was that the paper ball did not disappear with the reset of the copy.
"In this dungeon, what will be reset is the status and memory of the NPC, the player's location, as well as the scene decorations in the hospital and the frogs in the corner. The player's memory and the positions of the props that the player brings into the dungeon will not be affected."< br>
Qisi made a judgment, and images flashed through his mind.
The disappeared charred frog...the sheet stained with frog blood that has returned to cleanliness...the blue frog squatting in a pool of blood every morning as usual...
The entire copy will be released in the evening There is a reset at six o'clock, but the frog's reset time is not at this time...
Qismo stroked his chin, connected with Lin Chen's consciousness again, and asked word by word: "Lin Chen , you told me last night that all the frogs in the pond were killed by female ghosts, what is the situation now?”
Lin Chen described in detail what had happened from early morning to now, including his suspicions about the female teacher.
Qisi verified his guess. The frog's refresh time was indeed early in the morning, which did not coincide with the overall refresh time of the dungeon.
Based on the fact that the female ghost and the frogs are killing each other, a conclusion is readily available:
There are many forces in this copy, and the frogs may not be completely under the control of the hospital.
Lin Chen was still chattering, his words full of worries about the future.
Qisi lowered his eyes and smiled brightly: "Waiting tonight, you can test your guess and use the red frog to lure those female ghosts over, and then use the method last night to make them both lose."
" Then, you can look for a passage under the pool and find a way to get to the Blue Frog Hospital."
"I've been waiting for you here, don't be afraid."
Ruyi heard Lin. Chen thanked him with tears in his eyes.
Qisi provided the toolman with complete emotional value, decisively cut off the connection, and pushed out the door.
In the familiar corridor, skinny patients sat in rows like sparrows on iron stools, staring blankly at Qiss.
Qi Siruo was unaware, turning his back to them and looking at the posters on the wall. He looked at the image of Dean Cheng Ping with a smile and waited quietly.
"Dr. Cheng, are you feeling better after rest? You suddenly fainted on the operating table. We are all worried about you."
The nurse's footsteps made a "dada" sound. Ringing, stopped nearby.
Chis turned his head to look at her and smiled gently: "It's better, thank you."
He said the same line he had said on the first day, and the nurse answered the same question as he did on the first day: "The director already knows your situation. He recommends that you stop working first and receive treatment with peace of mind. Wait until you are cured." Go to the operating table."
Qisi looked into her eyes and asked with a half-smile: "Where is the director? I have something important to tell him. It's best to see him now."
"Dean..." The nurse lowered her head, her voice was long and low, as if she was talking in sleep.
A large white mist formed on her face, as if she was in the clouds, and her body swayed slightly.
After a long time, she seemed to have finally thought of a suitable answer. She straightened her head and looked at Qiss: "The dean is in the office and hasn't seen anyone for a long time. He said that he doesn't see anyone. , but the results might be different if it were you. ”
At the same time, a large piece of silver-white text was like a viral pop-up window, refreshing in front of my eyes:
[You asked to see the dean, which attracted the dean's attention. 】
[The dean became suspicious of you and glanced at you. 】
【Be careful, Dean! Wait until tomorrow, he will come to see you...]
[Performance failure rate +20%]
