The failure rate column shows [45%], which is still within the acceptable range.
What troubles Qiss is that the prompt text says that the dean will come to see him tomorrow.
According to his plan, tonight he and Lin Chen will search for a passage connecting the two hospitals at the bottom of the pond. If we can succeed, we can try to advance the main mission tomorrow night.
And during the day tomorrow, current tasks such as "Cure" and "A Thousand Tadpoles" need to be completed as soon as possible.
I don’t know if the dean’s intervention will affect the established process.
After the nurse finished speaking some gloomy words, she returned to normal, her face and figure settling into clear outlines.
"Dr. Cheng, the bed is available. It's the previous one. I'll take you there." She smiled and made an invitation gesture to Qisi.
Qisi nodded slightly and followed the nurse calmly, silently letting her lead the way, turning around the familiar corridor and standing at the door of Room 404.
Like the previous two times, he was the last to enter the room and sat down on his bed. However, he looked past Sun Dekuan and glanced at Lu Zimo with interest.
The thin young man in a hospital gown lowered his head, his face was pale, his expression was timid, and he looked extremely pitiful.
Sensing Qiss's gaze, he shifted his face slightly and responded with a hidden gaze.
"Today is the same as yesterday. Everything is reset at six o'clock in the evening. It seems that six o'clock is the refresh time for this copy." Huang Xiaofei made a judgment and joked with a smile, "In this way, we You can go further in the future without worrying about not being able to come back at night.”
Perhaps because of the hope of clearing the customs, her tone became much more relaxed and she was no longer as solemn as when she left.
Qisi looked away and smiled brightly: "Yes, no matter where you are, when the time comes, you can go back to where you were."
Just now, he realized a problem .
Lu Zimo was separated from the others for twelve hours. No one knew where he was, where he had been, and what he had done before the reset.
After information is disseminated, its value will be reduced accordingly; compared with similar information, the fewer people who know it, the higher its value.
If Lu Zimo did not stay in the ward as the players thought, but used the daytime to explore other parts of the hospital like the players, then the clues he obtained due to their uniqueness, This will give him a natural information advantage over other players.
Huang Xiaofei sat on Lu Zimo's bedside table and briefly recounted the players' exploration process to him, probably to put him at ease.
Lu Zimo thanked her quietly, looking flattered.
Huang Xiaofei seemed to be very pleased with this performance, and smiled and patted his face.
Sun Dekuan winked at the side for a while, then moved closer to Qisi, and whispered in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, it's not me who said that there is definitely something wrong with these two people..."
Qi Si rested his chin on his knees and listened helplessly to Sun Dekuan's opinions, nodding from time to time to show that he was listening.
I don’t know if it was prejudice, but in his impression, every fat man he met was quite annoying, and he was definitely not a good candidate to develop into a tool man.
Even in order to prevent such people from leaking information in the future, it is more convenient to deal with the copy as soon as possible later.
After clearing the copy of "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School" and entering Sunset Ruins to see various records and rankings, Qiss actually had a vague feeling. Being the only survivor would easily attract attention, leaving one or two mediocrities behind. Passers-by as cover might be a good choice.
Anyway, now he has two strange monsters, the Statue of Joy and the Insomnia Germ. There are plenty of reserves that can be harvested, and he really does not lack the bonus points to guarantee the minimum number of deaths.
But people like Sun Dekuan are too mediocre.
“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”
The ringtone of the old-fashioned phone rang intermittently, cutting off the whispers of the players.
Qisi left Sun Dekuan behind, walked over and picked up the phone, smiled and said, "Lin Chen, good evening."
...
Green Frog Hospital, staff dormitory.
Lin Chen was sitting at the desk with the phone, and beside him stood a female teacher in a black suit.
Without Yu Kun's presence, the situation seems to have improved a lot; but under the gradually growing suspicion, the situation does not seem to have changed much.
Lin Chen kept in mind the key points that Qisi told him, which was to inform other players of everything that happened from last night to today without exposing the connection between the two people's consciousness.
He held the phone and stated as calmly as possible: "After hanging up the phone last night, we encountered Hyakki Yakou here. Many female ghosts rushed into the room and asked us for their children. They The attack was too violent, and another one of us died..."
Huang Xiaofei walked up to Qisi at some point and asked in a cold voice: "There are only two people left on your side, right? "
"Yes." Lin Chen glanced at the female teacher beside him and recalled, "We later escaped through the window to the pond, and the female ghosts also chased us and forced us into a corner. "
"Just when I thought I was dead, a red frog suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the pond. Those female ghosts didn't know why, but they all turned around and rushed towards the frog, saying it It’s their child.”
"They jumped into the pond one by one and struggled with the frogs. In the end, both were injured. The whole pond was covered with blood and residual limbs."
"The strange thing is that after dawn, everything seemed to be refreshed. , the pond became extremely clear again. If it weren’t for the real injuries, haha, I would have thought I just had a nightmare.”
This statement undoubtedly confirms what the players have already learned about the “refresh.” "The mechanism, although there are many developments and the specific reasons cannot be explained, is exactly in line with the characteristics of the weird game.
Even if they cannot understand the principle behind it, players will only think that it is their own problem, either because they have not collected enough clues or their reasoning is not in place.
Huang Xiaofei looked at Qisi and said calmly: "If you want to explore the pond tonight, you must clear away all the frogs that bite people. We can sharpen our knives and chop wood, so we can go first Find a red frog and see if you can lure those difficult pregnant ghosts to the pond.”
She holds equally deep grudges against frogs and ghosts of pregnant women.
The frog attacked Lu Zimo during the day on the first day, and the pregnant ghost hindered her exploration on the first night, causing her to be ridiculed. It would be best if she could be packed up and die.
What's more, the situation described by Lin Chen provides a feasible way to quickly clear the dungeon.
The Statue of the Holy Child and the Statue of the Virgin are separated into two hospitals. Players on both sides must find the passage between the hospitals if they want to complete the main mission.
The pond, where green frogs and blue frogs live together, is the most likely place for passages to appear, so it is imperative to search the bottom of the pond.
And if you want to be able to search the bottom of the pool safely, you must clear the area.
Ghosts and frogs are two kinds of strange puzzle games. Players complete the main tasks. It is full of beauty and can be called art.
Huang Xiaofei thinks there is nothing wrong with this.
Although I don’t know if Qisi will lay a trap for her in an unknown place, but the clearance is right in front of me, and there is no need for anyone to harm people for no reason.
Maybe this time I can risk my life and survive, and get a TE clearance record.
Qisi saw Huang Xiaofei's expression in his eyes and asked calmly into the microphone: "Lin Chen, how is the progress of your mission? How many tadpoles have we eaten in total?"
Lin Chen said: "Four hundred and six tadpoles."
Fourteen more were added because Lu Zimo didn't eat tadpoles last night.
"Well, tonight you will lure the female ghosts to the pond. After they and the frogs are both injured, you can go to the bottom of the pond to find a passage. Is that okay?" Qisi tilted his head slightly and raised the corners of his lips. , repeating the plan that has been said once: "If we can successfully find the passage, I will find a way to help you complete the current task during the day tomorrow, and then solve the main task..."
There was a "beep beep" busy tone on the other end of the phone, and the time was up.
“Go to bed early, turn off the lights at 9:30, go to bed early and get up early for good health!”
“Don’t open the door or the window after turning off the lights, lie down in bed if you can’t sleep, and wait for the wake-up bell to ring. Go to the ground again!”
The nurse’s knocking on the door and shouting sounded as usual, from far to near.
The sound of turning off lights came from several nearby wards, which intensified the urge.
"They only have two people left, can it be done?" Huang Xiaofei looked at Qisi and couldn't help but speak faster, "Although I don't know the size of the pond, since Weird Game has four people on each side, the search will probably not Simple."
"I believe he can do it." Qisi smiled and quickly issued an access permit to each player.
From the moment the call was connected, in order to facilitate the next action, Qisi kept the conscious connection open.
Lin Chen secretly clenched his fists while listening to the conversation between Qisi and Huang Xiaofei.
Even if he failed once, the boss still trusted him so much.
This time, he must not let the boss down again.
The female teacher stood beside Lin Chen like a ghost from beginning to end, her light gray eyes studying the latter's face unblinkingly, as if she wanted to see through what was in his mind.
At this moment, she asked in a cold tone: "Do you have any other way of communicating with that Cheng An?"
Lin Chen's heart beat violently when he was asked a sudden question.
He turned his head stiffly and said in as natural a tone as possible: "No, I never thought I could meet him again in this copy."
The female teacher nodded, leaning against the door frame, staring into the depths of the corridor.
Blue Frog Hospital, Room 404.
Lu Zimo was sitting on the bed, holding the entry and exit permit with his name on it, his head slightly lowered, wondering what he was thinking.
Huang Xiaofei also got on her bed, looked sideways at him and smiled: "Zimo, it's not time to finish this instance tonight, so you can stay in the room without any worries and don't make trouble."< br>
Lu Zimo pressed the access permit under his pillow, but shook his head: "No, sister, I also want to do my part."
Huang Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, then let out a soft tut: "De Xing! If you want to follow, just follow, and you won't be in trouble."
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Electric light The switches sounded one after another, the lights in the ward were gradually extinguished, and the world was completely swallowed up by the gapless darkness.
The voices and footsteps gradually faded away, but the players’ eyes shone like stars in the darkness.
In the stagnant silence, everyone was counting the time silently in their hearts.
The moment the hour hand of Destiny's pocket watch crossed ten o'clock, Huang Xiaofei stood up and turned on the flashlight.
Under the dazzling white light, Lu Zimo stood up holding on to the bedrail, bowed his head and held his chest, standing next to the woman like a ghost.
The latter gave him a comforting look, turned towards the door, and pushed it open.
The three followed closely behind.
The corridor is not completely dark, the dim lights are flickering, and the vast water vapor rushes in, as thick as the white cloth of a funeral parlor, making people afraid of haunting.
In the mist, bloated figures in white lined up like ghosts, walking slowly and stiffly.
The leader of the female ghost in white dragged a black umbilical cord like a tail and walked up to the players.
The players were already prepared, holding their respective access permits in front of their chests.
On the half-rotted face of the female ghost, the cloudy eyes turned around and scanned every entry and exit permit one by one.
After reading it, she turned back to the team and led a long line of female ghosts in white to continue along the previous route.
Passed.
The players still did not dare to relax. They pressed against the wall and passed by the female ghost team. They did not relax until they saw the end of the team disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
Sun Dekuan did not dare to express his anger before, and his legs were extremely tight to prevent them from shaking. Now he only felt that half of his body was weak.
He subconsciously glanced at Qis beside him, and saw that the young man was looking with interest in the direction where the team disappeared, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
He shuddered: "I'm not telling you, Brother Cheng, what on earth do you do outside? How come you haven't been scared since you entered the dungeon to now?"
Qisi had already replaced Huang Xiaofei and stood at the front of the team. He said without looking back: "Didn't I say before that I'm just an ordinary college student with bad grades who just eats and waits to die."
“However, my father is a heavenly master, and he talks to me about some supernatural knowledge on weekdays. He is quite unreliable. When I was a child, he accidentally locked me in the attic with a bunch of magic weapons. I was so courageous. It was practiced at that time."
Sun Dekuan didn't realize it, so he came closer: "Then with my father's behavior, can we detect the existence of strange games?"
"I don't know. ." Qisi said, "He has been dead for two years. He was killed by ghosts." What ghost can kill our father?”
Qisi half-closed his eyes, and his deep voice was mysterious: "She is a female ghost in the hospital. She was raised by humans. She saw too many lives and deaths every day, and her resentment was soaring. When the old man went to see a doctor, he originally planned to keep the well and the river. I didn’t expect to be recognized.”
What is this?
Sun Dekuan was confused and unknowingly followed Qis to the end of the corridor.
Huang Xiaofei stood behind the two of them, holding a flashlight high and shining it on the mist-filled doorway.
Qisi walked straight to the kitchen nearby, skillfully pulled out the wire from his bracelet, and pried open the door lock.
He strode through the door, holding the empty sugar bowl in one hand and the ladle in the other, and reached into the iron bucket full of tadpoles.
He took out spoonful after spoonful of tadpoles and stuffed them into the sugar bowl. He tightened the lid of the sugar bowl until there was no more tadpoles left.
Then he reached the bottom of the spoon and stirred it, and pulled out a bloody dead baby.
Qisi wrapped the dead baby in a towel, walked out of the kitchen door step by step, walked towards the main door, stopped, turned sideways and waited.
The surging white mist seems to have substance, trembling and extending slender white threads in all directions. The curls of smoke are graceful and graceful, and outline all kinds of strange shapes in the darkness.
Without warning, a crying female voice sounded in the distance: "Child, our child..." (End of Chapter)
