Chapter 20 Peace Medical School 18

Hua Haoming stared at the white plastic bag for a few seconds, seemed to understand something, and put it away silently.

Neither of them spoke again, and silence grew between them.

Until I met Xia Bai.

Xia Bai looked at Lin Xiang's bald head and thought it was not bad. After all, Lin Xiang was only a teenager and did not have the stubbornness of a middle-aged bald man. Even though his hair was almost gone, he still left a strand to cover it.

He looked at Hua Haoming who seemed not to notice him, and said in a tone as if he was asking what to eat for breakfast, "You have pica."

“…”

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xia Bai said again: "Lin Xiang ate all his hair for you. He gave too much for you."

Lin Xiang was a little touched. Xia Bai saw his grief and efforts.

Hua Haoming asked: "Why does the back of my neck hurt so much? It feels like it's going to split."

Xia Bai and Lin Xiang fell silent immediately.

"I didn't expect that I had pica." Hua Haoming paused for a few seconds and said to them: "Just now I thought about it again. I did have it before, but it's not a habit."

"When I was a kid, there was a time when I couldn't afford to eat. I was beaten to the ground by a group of thugs and I accidentally tasted the taste of dirt. I started eating dirt during that time."

In the game, their habits are all related to life experiences and psychological factors, and are closely related to their inner hearts.

The two did not expect that he would tell such a piece of history.

He was no longer so casual and closed, and the boundaries he had drawn for them seemed to have changed.

"Brother, you are awesome!" Lin Xiang sighed, "When I was young, I couldn't afford to eat, but now I have become someone I can't afford to hire even with 100 million. Isn't this the hero of a certain counterattack?"

“…”

His idea is quite unique.

However, the two did not expect that Hua Haoming had such an experience. It was not just the 100 million that Lin Xiang casually mentioned. Wen Dong sincerely offered to give him money at that time, but he was dismissive, as if his family was very rich and he had never lacked since he was a child.

Of course, it is also possible that once you become a player, you will no longer need it.

Hua Haoming looked at Xia Bai, "What about you? Did you have any thrilling experience last night?"

Lin Xiang said excitedly: "Xia Bai has no fetish, and he even got the key clue from the female school worker!"

Hua Haoming: “?”

impossible!

This is unscientific!

He looked at Xia Bai in disbelief.

Xia Bai rolled his eyes guiltily and looked away, "How do you feel?"

"Yes, brother, are you affected?" Lin Xiang asked.

To this day, they still don’t know whether people with abnormal habits have any memory of the previous night the next day, or whether their daytime thinking is affected.

"I can't remember what happened last night very clearly, but now that you guys reminded me, I can remember it a little bit. As for now, it seems like there's a thick layer of brain fog in my head, so the impact shouldn't be that big." After that, he asked, "What did you get from the female school worker?"

Lin Xiang immediately told Hua Haoming the news he had heard from the female school worker last night. He asked, "Brother, if we find out the truth, will the game change?"

Hua Haoming came back to his senses and analyzed carefully, saying: "The system will give you a prompt, and doors, roads and other optical openings will be generated. You can leave the game after going through them."

Lin Xiang: "Then why is there no hint?"

"The first possibility is that we really haven't seen the protagonist of the story yet and we need to find her. What kind of deformity she has is also a mystery in the story and cannot be ignored. This possibility is more likely."

"The second possibility is that our inference is wrong."

Xia Bai pinched his solar plexus. He also had a layer of brain fog in his head, and felt confused and uncomfortable.

After pressing for a while, just when he was about to stroke it carefully, Wen Qiu and Meng Tianyou came over and asked, "Want to chat?"

It’s definitely not just a simple chat.

At noon today, there was no doubt that Lin Xiang and Wen Qiu were going to prepare for the teaching. It was hard for Wen Qiu to say what kind of alienation he would become tonight. Tonight would be the third day of Wen Dong's fetish alienation, which meant that he would probably torture himself to death or kill someone else tonight.

According to his alienated habits, he would most likely torture himself to death.

Hua Haoming: "Let's chat."

Ever since Song Mingliang stuffed Song Qiang to death, Hua Haoming had been tying him up for fear that he would hurt others. Later, he found out that he could not do anything during the day, so he took back his soft sword this morning. At this time, no one knew where Song Mingliang had gone.

Wen Dong was in a lot of pain and couldn't walk for the time being, so he asked for leave to stay in the dormitory and rest.

Now, there are only five of them.

The five people did not eat in the restaurant. Instead, they bought buns and went to the grove next to the teaching building, where they ate and chatted, except Hua Haoming, who did not eat.

Wen Qiu said to Hua Haoming: "My brother castrated himself last night. Judging from the situation, the second night of alienation will not be easy. If he doesn't die, it will be miserable. Tonight is your second night."

Hua Haoming expressed surprise and regret at Wen Dong's self-castration, but still said: "Just say what you want to say. We don't have that much time to beat around the bush right now."

Wen Qiu was used to his dead look, so he said calmly: "Let me be frank, we are all out of time, do you want to exchange clues and take action today?"

Hua Haoming thought for a while, pinched his nose, and looked at Xia Bai.

Xia Bai pressed his solar plexus and looked at Lin Xiang.

They thought that Lin Xiang would consider saving his life as the most important thing and would agree to exchange information with Wen Qiu and complete the game together.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiang said, "It's afternoon now, let's talk about it after we get out of the anatomy lab building."

Obviously, their class group is their game guide, and the classes in the schedule are their tasks. They cannot be absent without reason, not to mention the teaching preparation that is specifically mentioned. For safety reasons, they still have to make teaching preparations and take the anatomy class today.

Wen Qiu looked at them one by one and said, "Okay, I hope you will consider it carefully. Game rewards are important, but you have to be alive to get them."

After she left, Lin Xiang said, "They didn't share the news with us before, but now they come to us. They must be missing something. We have found the complete logical chain. All we need to do is find Chu Xuelin and see where she is deformed to confirm our truth."

"We have come to this point. It would be a loss to exchange information with her at this time."

Lin Xiang exhaled, "Today at noon, when I go to prepare for the class, I will go find Chu Xuelin's body and check where she is deformed. If we can't find it, or if our inference cannot be verified, it won't be too late for us to exchange clues with them."

His thinking was clear and he quickly adapted to the rhythm of the game.

Hua Haoming: "Are you not afraid anymore?"

He remembered that on the way to send Xia Bai to school, Lin Xiang said that he was most afraid of dead bodies and ghosts.

Lin Xiang stretched out his sweaty hands and said, "I'm scared to death. I'm just thinking about it."

“…”

Xia Bai dug into his pocket, took out a few pieces of talisman paper and put them in Lin Xiang's hand, "Don't be afraid, this is for you."

Lin Xiang: “What is this?”

Xia Bai: "Corpse-suppressing talisman."

Hua Haoming: “…”

Lin Xiang: “?”

"Let's not talk about whether your corpse-suppressing talisman is really useful in our real world. This is a game world." Hua Haoming felt that his brain fog was shaken by the impact. "Only skills obtained in the game can be effective in the game. In other words, unless the person who draws the talisman has obtained the skill of drawing talismans in the game, or learned to draw talismans from NPCs in the game, otherwise it will be useless."

Lin Xiang took it very cooperatively, "Just to put your mind at ease."

Hua Haoming: "They found out about Chu Xuelin earlier than us, and they may know more about Chu Xuelin than we do. Maybe they also have this plan. You should be on guard against Wen Qiu, and at the same time you can use this to follow her to find Chu Xuelin."

Lin Xiang asked: "Did you find anything else when you went to the morgue yesterday?"

Hua Haoming pressed his solar plexus hard again, "If it is really Chu Xuelin's curse, there must be a curse medium. If we come into contact with or see it, we will be easily affected..."

Xia Bai said for him: "There are several human specimens in front of the morgue door, and one of them is a female corpse wearing a long skirt."

Hua Haoming: "Yes, her. Take a closer look. The clothes she wears are quite strange."

Xia Bai explained the layout of the first floor to him again, and did not go to the classroom until the class was about to start.

After listening to them talk so much, Lin Xiang had some confidence, but it was all shattered by a thunderclap during the class.

When several people heard the thunder, they turned to look out the window. A cold wind blew and the sky darkened. After the thunder, rain poured down.

It had never rained in the few days since they entered the game, at most it was cloudy for a while. This sudden thunderstorm seemed like some kind of ominous sign, making everyone feel nervous.

As soon as the get out of class was over, after seeing the message from the counselor, the other students in the classroom hurriedly left in the rain.

Not surprisingly, this time it was Lin Xiang and Wen Qiu.

After standing in the classroom for dozens of seconds, no one spoke. They wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, or they knew there was no point in saying anything.

In the end, everyone still followed their original plan.

Lin Xiang and Wen Qiu went to the morgue.

Xia Bai, Hua Haoming and Meng Tianyou were standing outside under a tree holding umbrellas waiting for them, with large raindrops sliding down the ribs of the umbrellas.

The rain kept falling, the sky was dark, lightning and thunder appeared from time to time, and only the wind stopped.

A figure was approaching slowly from a distance, and Wen Dong walked over with difficulty.

Most of his body was wet, apparently from the rain, but sweat was visible on his forehead, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

After he came over, he leaned weakly against the tree and looked at the entrance of the laboratory building.

The three of them didn't speak to him, as they all knew it was best not to speak to him at this time. He probably didn't have the energy to speak, as he was shaking in many parts of his body.

The sky was getting darker and darker, with frequent lightning and thunder. It was hard to relax in such weather. As time passed, they became more anxious, especially when warm winter came, emotions seemed to be contagious.

"You are also planning to let Wen Qiu go in to find Chu Xuelin's body, right?" Hua Haoming asked Meng Tianyou, breaking the oppressive silence.

"Also?" Meng Tianyou said, "You guys have indeed found this place."

Hua Haoming tilted his umbrella, pressed his temples with his fingertips, and laughed, "We have investigated more than this. Even if Wen Qiu is an old player, he may not be able to discover Chu Xuelin's secret earlier than Lin Xiang."

Meng Tianyou, who had been tense the whole time, laughed when he heard this. "We found Chu Xuelin the first time we went to the library. Do you think you know her better than us? I'm not afraid to tell you now. We already knew almost everything."

Hua Haoming looked like he was saying "Really? I don't believe it" and said with a smile: "Are you talking about Chu Xuelin's deformity? Do you think we don't know?"

Meng Tianyou was stunned for a moment, thinking that the smile on his face was too dazzling. "We not only know that she has a physical deformity, but also a defect-type deformity, so she, a doctor of medicine, raises salamanders herself and wants to study the regenerative ability of salamanders."

Xia Bai suddenly asked, "Did she raise the salamander?"

Meng Tianyou looked at Xia Bai and said in a gentler tone, "Yes, she keeps salamanders in a fish tank on the balcony. Some students saw it."

Xia Bai thought of the photos of Chu Xuelin he saw in the library. One of the photos did have a fish tank, but there were water plants and algae in the tank, so he couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Xia Bai's eyes widened little by little.

Pea flower, salamander.

Peas, red beans, broad beans. Green algae, salamanders.

The answer that was about to come out came out.

No, it’s not regeneration…it’s symbiosis!

He stared blankly in the direction of the morgue and took a step forward, "Wrong, it's not Chu Xuelin. The protagonist of the story is not Chu Xuelin, but the symbiotic TA!"
