Chapter 215 Split the Hospital

Under the gloomy sky, lights are lit in the garden.

After putting down the telescope, Xu Zhiyan finally had time to care about the water stains dripping down his neck.

He reached out and wiped it, and found that these were not water drops as he had imagined, but were very sticky and even had some temperature, like the saliva of some living creature.

This realization makes people feel a little daunted.

But he wasn't attacked...

He paused for a second, without looking up, and calmly turned sideways, letting the dripping water fall to the ground.

Xu Zhiyan glanced at the dimly lit ward.

The single room is very large. In addition to his spacious bed, there is even space next to it for a folding bed for the accompanying person to rest. Directly opposite the bed is a TV hanging on the wall, and further out there is a single sofa.

At this time, the ward, which was originally somewhat warm, underwent a drastic change.

All the 'surfaces' in the ward became things of the same texture, whether it was the windowsill that my palm had just touched, or the bulging bedding on the bed behind me, all of them became the same material but different colors.

Xu Zhiyan put his hand on the bedside table, and his fingertips touched it inch by inch, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Tick-tick-tick-"

The dripping sound continued and the crack in the ceiling was slowly moving.

Glancing at the small puddle of water on the ground, Xu Zhiyan tiptoed around it, walked lightly to the door, and looked for the light switch.

The sky had darkened, and the lights that were lighting up one by one in the garden right outside the window were a bit cramped as a light source. The room was too dim now, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only vague outlines could be seen.

There were more and more cracks in the ceiling, and barely audible swallowing sounds echoed in the room.

Warm saliva gathered on the ground, and in the cracks in the ceiling, it seemed that monsters were being bred, and it sounded like there were quite a few of them.

I couldn't see anything clearly in the room, but there were flashes of light from time to time in the cracks, like some sharp object...

Xu Zhiyan stopped, calmed himself, and did not react rashly.

These cracks convey an ominous feeling and theoretically should be dealt with as quickly as possible, but other clues were revealed from the nurse's previous retelling.

[Name: Xu Zhiyan]

[Status: Onset (mandatory status)]

Although he was certain that he was in a state of illness, Xu Zhiyan did not notice anything wrong with himself. The ward had indeed changed, and it was even as if he had fallen into another world at the moment of the illness.

When Xu Zhiyan first got the information that the patient would fall ill, his first reaction was that when the disease occurred, the player might be thrown into another horror world, just like the other world.

But after listening to what the nurse said, he felt that it was very likely that the player would have hallucinations after falling ill, and thought that there were many monsters around him, but in fact they were NPCs in the hospital, so he attacked the NPCs and was put in solitary confinement as if he was crazy.

Xu Zhiyan locked the door earlier because he wanted to find out what he would see if there was no NPC in the room.

The result was pretty much what he expected.

Although there were many cracks on the ceiling and the whole room looked strange, there were no monsters with high attack power. He should be fine as long as he remained alert for the time being, right?

Thinking this in his mind, Xu Zhiyan felt a little relieved and planned to turn on the light to take a look.

When the patient is sick, the walls feel strange and slippery, just like touching human skin.

Just as he was groping the wall and guessing the changes in the room, something flashed by the glass at the door. Xu Zhiyan was slightly stunned, and his hand groping the wall just happened to find the switch.

When he withdrew his hand and looked out through the palm-sized transparent glass window on the door, he saw that the corridor was pitch black, as if it was just an illusion.

Just then, he noticed some water stains on the glass.

[X]

Someone just drew a cross on the glass. Now only a shallow water mark can be seen, which is not very clear. A faint smell of alcohol comes, and the mark becomes fainter and fainter, and finally evaporates quickly on the glass and disappears.

Who? Who left him the mark?

Was it to remind him not to turn on the light or...

Wherever he couldn't see, the barrage of comments had already gone crazy.

[Ah ...

[This ward is so disgusting. There are more and more holes in the ceiling. I don’t know what will fall out.]

[I am more curious about why Xiao Baiwan didn't use props to turn on the lights, but had to walk to the door. Isn't that idle? I really want to see this room clearly. ]

[Fuck, didn't any of you turn on the night mode for the live broadcast? Please turn it on and come back to talk, I really want to vomit.]

[What? Is it the night mode from the last update? ]

【? Updated night mode? ? Damn, I was the last one to know! 】

[NONONO, upstairs, now I am the last one to know...]

Darkness is a common presence in infinite game scenes.

However, in the game, not all players need vision.

Due to the bonus of this characteristic, some players with strong five senses can kill people even in a pitch-black scene.

But unfortunately, the audience's vision follows the player and all they see is a black shadow.

Therefore, in order to provide the audience with a better sensory experience, the main system has secretly updated a new viewing mode. If you encounter a dark scene, you can turn on this mode.

At the instigation of someone with ulterior motives.

Many players turned on the night mode and started complaining crazily.

[Eyes——My eyes!!]

[Why do you want me to see this kind of scene? I really want to thank you. I can’t do it anymore. I will turn off the night mode first. Bye everyone. ]

[Actually it's not that bad - not that disgusting, disgusting... disgusting - I recommend everyone to watch it. ]

[Upstairs, you don't have to work so hard, right? ]

[I'm willing to pay a lot of money for a pair of eyes that have never seen night mode! ! ! ]

[Curious! I didn't open it, so what did everyone see? ]

【Go see it yourself! It’s a wonderful picture!!】

Amid the barrage of comments, most viewers soon turned on the night mode and saw what the room looked like after it was brightened.

In the bright night mode, the surface of almost everything in Xu Zhiyan's ward turned into a dark pink with black and white spots - those were the bacterial plaques that grew on human skin that had been stored for a long time.

The cracks on the roof turned into mouths.

Some were big, some were small, and each mouth had sharp serrated teeth. A tongue with sharp thorns kept moving in the mouth, and saliva mixed with blood kept flowing out of the mouths on the ceiling.

There seemed to be something hidden under the bed in the ward. The sheets kept shaking, and the sofa looked even more disgusting. It seemed that there was a person hiding inside, and from time to time he would push his palm up from the inside of the human skin sofa, which looked extremely weird.

But Xu Zhiyan did not turn on the light immediately, so he did not know what was happening.

He always remembered the previous reminder.

As a patient, what you see may not be true.

Since everything is not necessarily real, what is he looking at? It is a waste of lighting props. He might as well find the light source in the room.

However, when he fumbled for the switch at the door, the prompt on the glass on the door made him pay attention.

The cross...

Does that mean he can't turn on the light? Who is telling him?

First of all, he ruled out slicing. The other party would not be so kind, and it was unlikely to be his teammate. He felt that his teammates should not be as fast as him.

Unable to think of a solution for the moment, Xu Zhiyan simply gave up thinking.

…

At the same time, in the No. 2 consultation building.

Jiang Huaique hid in an empty pharmacy, covered in blood, searching for treatment drugs in his prop bag.

After taking the hemostatic potion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the monster he had just encountered, he wiped the blood on his hands onto his hospital gown, thinking that his luck might have been sucked away by his unlucky teammates.

Time goes back more than an hour.

After entering the copy, Jiang Huaique found a long list of doctors' medical reports in the temporary ward. He concluded that he was a patient through the hospital gown, so it was natural for him to assume that the person whose name appeared most frequently in the medical reports was his attending physician.

As a result, when he followed the clues and found the doctor's office, he received a reminder that his search for the attending physician had failed!

The doctors in the department turned into monsters in an instant and started beating him up.

The process was tragic, but fortunately the final result was good.

After killing the wrong attending physician, he triggered a new plot. The correct attending physician came, assigned him a new identity, and informed him that there was an infectious disease in the hospital.

Jiang Huaiqie really wanted to ask more questions, but the time left for the end of Task 2 was running out. He had just come out of the attending physician's office when he received information about the onset of the disease. The nurse reminded him that it would take him ten minutes to get to the inpatient building.

Although he didn't understand what would happen exactly when the disease broke out, Jiang Huaiqie felt that he would definitely not get better.

In desperation, he could only find a place to hide temporarily.

After stopping the bleeding, he leaned against the wall and drank three bowls of hot soup with sugar cubes. He finally replenished all the lost physical and mental strength. However, the wounds on his body still hindered his movements. Considering that this was a pharmacy, he decided to use local materials and find some bandages.

The idea was good, but unfortunately, when Jiang Huaique stood up and took out the lighting props, he was stunned.

Everything around the pharmacy seemed to have life. The cabinet that he had just touched seemed a little strange, but now it was rising and falling slightly, as if it was breathing.

On the ceiling, a bloody mouth opened, and the things inside were swept down at random.

“Boom!”

The thorny long tongue was so fast that it hit the cabinet containing potions heavily. Jiang Huai Partridge rolled forward twice to avoid the attack.

He was fine, but the cabinet was damaged.

The cabinet covered with strange human skin completely cracked under the attack, and rotten internal organs and smelly blood flowed out, and a bass with a strange resonance sounded...

Jiang Huaique was splashed with these disgusting things in the face, but he didn't have time to wipe it off.

He thought he could just dodge the attack of the thorny long tongue, but after the other party attacked the cabinet, the resonance from the cabinet rushed straight into his brain, making him a little unstable for a moment. Fortunately, the attack of the bass resonance only lasted for a moment, and he reacted quickly.

At this time, the second round of attack from the thorny tongue landed.

Jiang Huai Que did not hide again. He summoned his weapon Shadow of Death, dodged the second attack, and swung his sickle with his backhand, trying to cut off the monster tongue that launched the attack.

“Shua——”

Just as expected.

The six or seven long thorny tongues hanging from the ceiling were instantly cut off and separated from the mouth on the ceiling after they came into contact with the sharp blade of the sickle.

Disgusting blood flowed out of the wound, and Jiang Huaique's tense body slowly relaxed.

After the thorny tongue was cut off, there was no bass resonance attack. It seems that it will only appear when other things in the scene are destroyed. The mouth on the ceiling looks disgusting, but these tongues are surprisingly easy to kill...

Before he could think of a solution, Jiang Huaique suddenly took two steps back, cursing with a ferocious expression.

"Fuck, what a stupid monster! Can't you give me a hint if you want to play Regeneration? There are hints for monsters in low-level dungeons, but not in high-star dungeons. It's all up to the players to figure it out on their own. Are you leaving your game panel to eat shit?"

He finished his curse without stopping.

In front of him, the tongue that had just been cut off was constantly wriggling on the ground and began to take on a new shape.

Jiang Huai Partridge never gives up.

He raised the sickle in the hope of getting lucky, and swung it hard at the strange tongue that was wriggling at the edge, cutting it into two pieces.

The result made him feel depressed.

The strange tongue that was cut in half began to grow larger separately, and was about to become a new individual.

At this moment, a scream was heard outside the pharmacy door.

"A patient is ill! Quick! Who is his attending physician? Someone come quickly, he needs to be put in solitary confinement!"

The sharp voice was full of fear. Jiang Huaiqie recognized the voice. It was the nurse who had just received her at the nurses' station. She looked gentle just a few minutes ago and brought him the identity bracelet.

"Grass."

You can't stay in the pharmacy for long.

After reaching the conclusion, Jiang Huaique prepared to run away.

From previous situations, we can see that the patient's attending physician has great power over the patient and is considered an auxiliary NPC. If the patient is infected by an infectious agent, the attending physician must come for help.

In other words, if the attending physician forcibly puts the player in solitary confinement, there is a high probability that the player will not be able to escape.

Considering that the nurse was at the door, Jiang Huaique did not go in through the door. Instead, he directly broke the glass on the other side and went to the fifth floor through the window on the sixth floor.

The corridor on the fifth floor was quiet, with only the sound of swallowing saliva and hurried footsteps upstairs.

It was very dark here, and in order to avoid being caught by the NPC running upstairs to catch him, Jiang Huaique turned off the lighting props.

He raised his head and looked at the dark ceiling above him.

The corridor on the fifth floor seemed to be safe. Although there were a few cracks faintly visible on the ceiling, there was no strange tongue directly sticking out of the open mouth like in the pharmacy just now.

The blood-stained Jiang Huai Partridge walked slowly along the wall.

When the body is strengthened to a certain degree, the five senses will also become sensitive. He has not awakened his characteristics, so he has made physical strengthening a personal goal. It is not visible on a normal day, but at this time, the benefits of the sensitive five senses are revealed.

Jiang Huai Que could hear the chaotic footsteps from a long distance away.

Considering that the current task is to rush to the inpatient building as soon as possible and a head-on conflict is not inevitable, Jiang Huaique resisted the urge to fight with the NPC... He didn't want to be laughed at by Xu Zhiyan for being stupid every time he reviewed the game!

So whenever he heard footsteps approaching, he would use the master key to open the nearest empty room and avoid the nurse's pursuit.

Avoiding the fight in this way, he soon went down to the second floor.

Looking at the stairs leading to the first floor in the distance, Jiang Huaiqie's heart finally settled down.

Just as he was walking quietly towards the stairs, the ground suddenly vibrated slightly, as if many people were running together.

It is better to have less trouble than more, so this news made him quicken his pace.

However, the opposite happened.

When Jiang Huaiqiao was just a few steps away from the stairs, he heard the sound of glass breaking behind him, followed by the barking of a dog, accompanied by Jin Sheng's surprised voice and Yu Xiu's hesitant voice.

"Brother Jiang! I finally found you!"

“Woof woof woof!”

"Jiang...Brother Jiang, run first!"

Jiang Huai Que stood there in a daze.

He watched helplessly as two people and a dog crashed out of the side glass window, and then ran towards him without stopping. Yu Xiu also threw some props behind him from time to time to stop the mutant nurses who were chasing them.

The nurses at this time no longer had their previous gentle and normal attitude. They... no, their skin had turned an abnormal purple color, their mouths were stretched to their ears, revealing two rows of serrated teeth, and the muscles on their limbs were tense. It was obvious at a glance that they were not easy to mess with.

But what made Jiang Huaique even more devastated was that the previously normal corridor suddenly became clear and abnormal under the illumination of the lighting device in Jin Sheng's hand.

The human skin walls had their own breath, and the mouth of the ceiling was wide open, as if ready to spit out a long thorny tongue at any time.

Seeing Jin Sheng and Yu Xiu gasping for breath, as if they were about to die of suffocation in the next second, Jiang Huaique took a deep breath, looked stern, and shouted: "Lower your head!"

When the two men and the dog heard the sound, they lowered their heads immediately without questioning and almost fell to the floor.

The next second, the spinning sickle whizzed past overhead.

“Swish—swish—”

"ah……"

The NPCs and monsters chasing the two were cut in half and stopped where they were. However, a moment later, after the NPCs' bodies were broken into two, gray matter spread out from the broken cross-sections of their limbs and instantly stuck their bodies back together.

"Another sick patient!"

"Quick! Go find his attending physician!"

The monster nurses made sharp noises, as if calling out to their companions.

But these Jianghuai partridges no longer care.

Cutting off the monster just now was enough time for the two men and the dog to catch their breath. After retracting the sickle, Jiang Huaiqu ran two steps, and found that Yu Xiu and Jin Sheng were not running fast enough. He was worried that more monsters would catch up, so he turned back and grabbed one in each hand and put it on his body...

He looked a little funny as he left the consultation building.

Jiang Huaiqiao was seen carrying Jin Sheng on his right shoulder, holding Yu Xiu under his left armpit, with a little golden hair on his head, and running towards the inpatient building cursing.

"Jinsheng, you should lose some fucking weight, or run faster next time."

The despised Jin Sheng was very innocent.

"I...I'm just tall, and my stomach is about to burst out of you."

"Woof woof!"

Xiaoyi lay on top of the Jianghuai Partridge, feeling very comfortable.

Yu Xiu, who was trapped under the armpit, was very obedient.

He has been living with Jiang Huaizhe for the past few months. Although he is scolded every day, Jiang Huaizhe will cook delicious food for him, buy clothes for him, care about his well-being, and arrange for his enrollment together with Jinsheng.

In Yu Xiu's heart, Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng are the second and third most important people after Xu Zhiyan.

Different from the three people and one dog who were being chased by monsters.

Xu Zhiyan sat on the sofa in the ward.

He got into some trouble.

After hesitating for a long time, he did not turn on the light, but quietly returned to the room.

The slice says 'If he gets sick, take him to my clinic', which means that the other party needs a nurse to complete this action for him.

The onset of the disease cannot be caught by the nurse.

When he returned to the room, he could occasionally see some scrutinizing gazes coming through the glass window on the ward door. If he guessed correctly, someone was observing him.

The room was still dark.

Nothing can be seen clearly.

Just when Xu Zhiyan was wondering whether he could avoid being caught by sitting in silence, an accident occurred.

He was wearing a hospital gown, which covered him tightly from head to toe, with only the cuffs on both sides rolled up a little. At this moment, he felt the skin on his exposed wrists stuck to the sofa.

A small voice came from inside the sofa.

“Is the human leather sofa very comfortable?”

“…”

Xu Zhiyan frowned and pulled his hand outward with force. A sharp pain came from the place where his wrist touched the sofa, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"Your skin belongs to me."

The human-skin sofa let out a strange laugh.

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments was scrolling rapidly, and people began to worry.

[What should a small millionaire do? ]

[The contact area is not large, so it will be fine if you just pull off the skin on your wrist. ]

[No, there are nurses outside the ward observing. If he tears off the skin, it will be considered self-harm and he will be diagnosed with a disease and put in solitary confinement!]

[Can I sit and wait until the attack is over? ]

[I see, this sofa seems to be pulling the victim's skin... So disgusting! I have to turn off the night mode immediately...]

[Ah, so if we don't turn on the light, everything will be fine? If we can't see, we can only slow down the speed at which these things appear?]

[What should I do? There is no solution. ]

[Hmm? What is Xiao Baiwan asking? Human skin? Why is he concerned about this...]

But following Xu Zhiyan's questioning and subsequent actions, the audience fell silent.

In the ward, Xu Zhiyan, who was trapped in the human leather sofa, was not afraid. His eyes brightened and he asked excitedly.

"Hello, Mr. Sofa, is this made of real human skin or fake human skin? Speaking of which, the walls here look a bit strange, are they also made of human skin? This is very important to me, I hope you can answer this."

The human-skin sofa had never seen a human being like this.

It thought the other party was frightened.

"Of course, all made from the skins of your own kind..."

But before it could finish its words, it noticed something suddenly appeared in front of it.

A multi-armed Buddha statue made of brass inexplicably appeared in the ward.

As a mirror spirit, the human skin Buddha had previously resisted many attacks for Xu Zhiyan and was already in tatters. However, human skin is required to worship the Buddha statue, and it is difficult to obtain it through legal channels in the world.

In the following months, Xu Zhiyan kept looking for usable human skin in the horror copy, but this thing was not so easy to find. After several months, he was still unable to put together a complete human skin to offer to the Human Skin Buddha.

But now it's different.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the Buddha statue in front of him that had not yet been restored and spoke passionately.

"Afu, this is the offering that I, the master, have found for you after much trouble. You must be filial to me in the future."

Little Cubic Bone, who was summoned to light the incense burner, staggered and almost fell when he heard it.
