Chapter 231 [(*^▽^*)]

As for those patients strapped to their hospital beds?

That's because these patients are emotionally agitated, and they can't move around during treatment. They're always running around and following the doctor's orders, so that's why they do it. It's not for any other reason.

Lin Leyou was woken up before he was fully awake. He looked at the time and it was only a little past three in the morning. He had only slept for less than three hours. What was going on?

"Vice Dean?"

Lin Leyou yawned. The call he was receiving was on the internal line installed in the lounge. "It's me, what's up?"

"Someone broke into the basement of the inpatient ward and apparently filmed it. There were four people in total. They caught one and killed him, leaving three more."

Lin Leyou touched his chin. Xue Rui? No, that can't be it.

How did they break in?

"I'm sorry, Vice Dean, we've reviewed all the surveillance footage. It seems like they appeared suddenly. Someone came up from underground, and just as he exited the elevator, the four of them suddenly appeared behind him."

Lin Leyou guessed that the players must have used some kind of item. He wondered what kind of item it was. From the time they went in to the time they collected evidence inside and came out, there were still four players. This concealment item was really powerful!

"The remaining three are missing?"

"Yes, Vice Dean, what should we do now?"

Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "We don't need to worry about these people for now. They're all trapped in the hospital and can't escape anyway. We just need to keep an eye on the area around the hospital and make sure no one gets out."

"Yes, Vice President, I understand. We will absolutely not allow anyone to leave the hospital!"

Lin Leyou hung up the phone, how did he end up back where he started?

As expected, he couldn't let anyone out. The thing he was worried about before was actually not a big deal. There was nothing he could do about it. He hadn't finished reading all of Lin Zhaofeng's memories yet.

Now it's fine. Anyway, that's how this instance is. There are dead people everywhere. The only thing is that the hospital is somewhat concealed in the open. Most of the NPCs choose to ignore it, which is why the surface stability is maintained.

If the player can incite the patients in the hospital to rebel...

Previously, none of the NPCs dared to resist, probably because there were a large number of security guards in the hospital, as well as nurses everywhere and many doctors who looked very imposing.

After all, most people who come to the hospital are inferior to doctors from the start, lacking confidence from the beginning. Over time, these people naturally do not dare to resist.

Of course, it could also be because most of those who resisted did not have a good ending. Those security guards were not just there to look good; they were pleasing to the eye when they didn't fight, but when they did fight, they were incredibly swift and decisive, killing people as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Lin Leyou hung up the phone, turned over in bed, and chose to continue sleeping instead of going out. As the big boss, he would definitely have to face the final battle, so he absolutely could not relax and had to get a good rest.

In the end, I don't know if Xue Rui will kill me, or if he can avoid killing me and still steal the phone he's carrying.

But he had two cell phones on him, one belonging to Lin Zhaofeng, and the other given to him by the dean before he left to handle those tasks.

If those players manage to snatch Lin Zhaofeng's phone after all that trouble, that would be hilarious, haha!

Lin Leyou thought about it more and more and felt that this was a good idea, so he hid the phone the dean had given him inside his clothes and put Lin Zhaofeng's phone inside...

He smiled and put it in the inner pocket near his chest, instead of the outer pocket, so that if a player took it, they wouldn't think they had taken the wrong thing.

After finishing this task, Lin Leyou lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep. She slept until dawn. When she got up, she stood by the window and looked out. The hospital was still calm, and nothing had happened.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around the hospital. Inside, the hospital seemed very clean and tidy, even brand new, but from the outside, it looked like it was abandoned.

The exterior walls are somewhat mottled, and some windows are broken, but you can still see cleaning staff cleaning inside through the shattered glass.

Lin Leyou could even clearly see the cleaning staff wiping bloodstains from the tiles with a rag in their hands. Someone must have been killed over there, but no one knew how.

He looked away, went into the bathroom to wash up, changed his clothes, put on a white coat, put the two phones back in their place, and then left the lounge to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Li Zhouyang in the cafeteria. Li Zhouyang approached him as usual, smiling, "Vice Dean, good morning! Did you sleep well last night?"

Lin Leyou nodded and casually ordered some breakfast. "It's alright, how about you?"

Li Zhouyang: "I heard that a few mice went to the inpatient department last night. We only caught one, and the rest ran into the stinky ditch and disappeared."

Lin Leyou blinked. "Everyone knows?"

Li Zhouyang: "That's right! This is no small matter. They ran away so quickly; they probably gathered a lot of evidence down there."

Lin Leyou said, "It's okay. The wards over there are all set up as single rooms, so you can't tell at all."

Li Zhouyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, it's fortunate that the vice dean suggested doing it this way, otherwise it would have been easy for someone to find a handle against us. It's really good this way, it saves a lot of trouble."

"However..." he changed the subject, "the patients in the ward..."

Lin Leyou said, "So what if they find out? We can just say it's because they look alike. Besides... these little mice will eventually end up in the hospital's incinerator."

Li Zhouyang understood what he meant. These people would eventually die in the hospital and never be able to leave. Even if they obtained some insignificant evidence, it would not cause any loss to the hospital.

"The vice president is right. So far, no one has managed to escape the hospital! By the way... vice president, if you catch any of those little rats, I wonder if you could spare one for me alive?"

Lin Leyou glanced at him. "What? You're running out of rats again?"

Li Zhouyang looked embarrassed. "Oh dear, how can I put this... My situation is really difficult, extremely difficult. There aren't even enough mice to go around..."

Lin Leyou: "Go and talk to them yourself. Tell them I don't object, but you can't cause any trouble, understand?"

Li Zhouyang was overjoyed to receive Lin Leyou's assurance. "It's alright, it's alright. I guarantee there won't be any problems. Besides, in the end, all these rats will end up in the incinerator!"

Lin Leyou: "That's fine then."

After finishing the last sip of soy milk, he got up and left. As the vice president, Lin Leyou didn't actually need to see patients. His job was to handle behind-the-scenes work, make random inspections of the hospital, take the lead in dealing with some of the hospital's problems, and deter the rats lurking in the hospital.

Xue Rui had already finished breakfast and gone for a walk. He wasn't alone today; there were five other people with him.

Huajiao looked at Xue Rui and said, "There really is something down there. Thank you for telling me all this."

Xue Rui smiled and said, "It's alright. I don't have the ability to go there and look for clues myself, so I can only tell you. I'm really ashamed..."

Sichuan pepper: "It's alright, we've found a lot of clues, and we'll definitely be able to help you escape."

These five people are all players. Apart from Huajiao, who is a woman, the rest are all male players. Xue Rui recognized one of them as the one who jumped off the building after being chased in the office building before. He didn't expect him to still be alive.

Huajiao patted the male player's arm and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Qi Liang, a good friend and comrade-in-arms I just met. And these three behind him are also people I just met. They are all like-minded comrades-in-arms. We will be working together in the next operation."

Xue Rui nodded, "You guys are really amazing, actually going up against such a big hospital..."

Qi Liang was a little embarrassed by the praise, "Actually...it's nothing, it's just what we should do. By the way, I actually came to see you this time to ask if you know if there are any people who have infiltrated this hospital to expose these crimes..."

Xue Rui suddenly realized, "I know that!"

Sichuan peppercorns: "What! You know? You really know who it is? That reporter..."

Xue Rui said, "Don't speak so loudly, you'll be in big trouble if the security guards hear you."

The three male players who had been standing behind Huajiao all came over cautiously. They had initially thought that this NPC might not know much, or even know anything about the reporter, but they were surprised to find that he not only knew about the matter, but also knew who it was!

This is such a great find! There were two other players who didn't come along because Huajiao is a woman and they were sexist, so they had to go find it themselves. I didn't expect Huajiao to be so amazing!

Xue Rui continued, "I do know that, and I know who he is, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now."

Everyone was anxious, "Why?"

Xue Rui said, “His condition is not good. He hasn’t attracted the attention of the doctors and nurses yet, but if you all go looking for him, he will definitely be exposed. So you must find all the evidence that can bring down the hospital before I tell you his identity. Then you can take us out of the hospital directly, so as not to waste time.”

Sichuan peppercorns also think this idea is feasible.

Xue Rui sighed, "He secretly sent me a message before, saying that he should hurry up. I think there might be some problem on his end, so if you really want to take him away, it's best to do so within four or five days, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."

This timeframe isn't too short, considering that it's a total of seven days including the previous few days. Given the nature of dungeons, this timeframe is about right.
