Chapter 338 Monster Hospital (Thirty-Seven)

After the two looked at each other, Nan Huan didn't waste any more time and opened the last folder.

On x/x/x, the presence of an infection source was suddenly detected in Ward A, but no signs of awakening or fluctuation of the infection source were detected.

On x/x/x, an activity was used to clear out the patients in Ward A, but no source of infection was detected in the patient's ward, so the patient's ward was ruled out.

On x/x/x, no source of infection was detected in the staff lounge, so the staff lounge was ruled out.

On x/x/x, no source of infection was detected in the treatment room, so the treatment room was ruled out.

…

Nan Huan understood after reading a few lines. This document, as the name suggests, is used to record the discovery and detection records of the infection source. Although there are only a few simple lines of information, it does not explain what method can be used to detect the existence of the infection source. The progressive or large span of dates alone indicates that the process may not be smooth. It is recorded here in the simplest way just for the convenience of reference.

The two of them read ten lines at a glance, and Nan Huan quickly found the most important conclusion at the bottom of the first page.

On x/x/x, all areas of Ward A except the activity room have been ruled out, and the source of infection has been confirmed to be in the activity room of Ward A. The presence of the source of infection was detected in the activity room, but there was no sign of awakening or activity.

If Nan Huan and Bei Xi had not noticed that the golden light on Patient No. 151 had been damaged before entering the treatment room, and had not noticed that the other party looked towards the activity room with some longing before entering the room, perhaps when they saw this conclusion, they would not have been very sure of the authenticity of the document.

After all, they came here so easily and found these documents so easily, so it was naturally impossible for them to believe the contents recorded in the documents so easily. However, now some of their original guesses have been confirmed, which is enough to prove the authenticity of this document.

For a few seconds, Nan Huan even thought that this might be another conspiracy of the system. They deliberately released No. 151 as bait and staged such a drama to make them mistakenly believe that the source of infection was really in the activity room, and then set up some kind of trap in the activity room.

But she quickly rejected this idea. Firstly, the schedule arranged by the system for them already had time for free activities. Nan Huan and Bei Xi would go to the activity room sooner or later, so such an arrangement was a bit redundant.

Secondly, Nan Huan and Bei Xi had already tried it last night after seeing the golden light on the patients and themselves. This golden light has no effect on other close objects. It is only used to deal with the sources of infection. Moreover, other patients cannot see this golden light, and this golden light cannot be forged or destroyed by other means.

So in other words, even the system could not easily do anything to the golden light on Patient No. 151, so the destruction of the golden light on the other person's body was not a conspiracy. Therefore, the two of them have basically confirmed the fact that there is a source of infection in the activity room of Ward A.

Nan Huan raised his eyebrows and turned over the first page filled with records.

On x/x/x, the presence of an infection source was suddenly detected in Ward B, but no signs of awakening or fluctuation of the infection source were detected.

On x/x/x, an activity was used to clear out the patients in Ward B, but no source of infection was detected in the patient's ward, so the patient's ward was ruled out.

On x/x/x, no source of infection was detected at the nurses' station, so the nurses' station was ruled out.

On x/x/x, no source of infection was detected in the pharmacy, so the pharmacy was ruled out.

…

Nan Huan noticed that the work of discovering and detecting the source of infection seemed to be ongoing, but the detection of the source of infection in each ward did not occur at the same time, because the date on which the source of infection was discovered in Ward B was later than that in Ward A.

In other words, the recorder of this document or the leader of the work has been monitoring the infection situation of the entire Monster Hospital for some unknown reason.

And during this long monitoring process, suddenly one day, the source of infection was detected in Ward A, and then the source of infection began to spread to Ward B like an infectious disease. However, in the recorder's view, the source of infection was only detected, but there was no sign of awakening or activity.

Soon, Nan Huan saw the last line of the second page.

On x/x/x, all areas of Ward B except the staff lounge have been ruled out, and the source of infection has been confirmed to be in the staff lounge of Ward B. The source of infection was detected in the staff lounge, but there was no sign of awakening or activity.

Nan Huan and Bei Xi couldn't help but frown when they saw this, because they both thought of President Yan, who was the doctor in charge of Ward B and a staff member. She had been infected last night, and the source of infection was in the staff lounge. This didn't seem like good news at all.

"Don't worry too much." Bei Xi quickly guessed what Nan Huan was thinking. "She should have been resting in the staff lounge last night. But from last night to when we talked on the phone just now, the degree of infection has not changed. And according to the records here, the source of infection has not shown any signs of waking up or moving, which may be related to this."

"Besides, she has strong personal skills and is very alert. President Qian is in Area B with her, so they can look after each other. It won't be that easy for anything to happen to them."

Bei Xi’s words made sense, and even if they knew the news now, they couldn’t pass it on immediately. Nan Huan could only temporarily suppress his uneasiness and turned to the third page of the document.

As expected, the third page recorded the existence of the infection source of Ward C. The document finally confirmed that the infection source of Ward C was in the observation room, and there was no sign of awakening or activity.

Nan Huan recorded the location of the infection source and some other important clues. Worried that he might not be able to take the folder out, he memorized the contents in his mind.

However, to her and Bei Xi's surprise, the document did not end there, and there were several more pages of content.

After all, from the previous player list, it has been confirmed that there are no infected players in Ward D and the subsequent wards. So according to this situation, there should be no source of infection in Ward D and the subsequent wards. So they naturally thought that this record ended at Ward C, but this was not the case.

Nan Huan turned the next page with a serious expression. Unexpectedly, the next page was not Ward D, but...

On x/x/x, the presence of infection sources was detected in the biochemical area, but the specific location could not be determined. The number of infection sources was huge, and there were obvious signs of awakening.

On x/x/x, the biochemical area is still inaccessible and the exact location of the infection source cannot be detected from the outside, but the number of infection sources that can be detected seems to be increasing, and they all show signs of awakening and activity.

On x/x/x, there has been no new progress in the exploration, the biochemical area is still inaccessible, the number of infection sources is still increasing, and there are signs of awakening and activity.

…

Nan Huan noticed that the record date of the biochemical area was earlier than that of the ABC ward, but the record file was placed at the end. It seems that this is the starting point of all infection sources. It was because the infection source in the biochemical area was awakened and active that it attracted attention. However, with in-depth investigation, they soon discovered that they could not find a way to enter the biochemical area at all. They could only detect that the infection source was constantly increasing and becoming more and more active.

Judging from the dates, they discovered the source of infection in Ward A after the biochemical area had been monitored for a period of time. Soon after, the same source of infection broke out in Wards B and C, but the source of infection showed no signs of awakening or activity.

Nan Huan and Bei Xi's gaze moved to the last line following the densely packed handwriting.

On x year x month x day, there was still no new news from the exploration, the biochemical area was still inaccessible, the number of infection sources increased exponentially, and signs of awakening and activity were detected. The last date was the day before they entered this ultimate copy, which was of course calculated according to the time inside the copy.

"It seems that the gathering of the Totem Fragments of Faith has not only affected other copies and resting places," Bei Xi's eyes fell on the words "increased exponentially", "The arrival of the evil god has caused more sources of infection in the biochemical zone than before, and they have indeed awakened."

There is no possibility of forgery in this document. It is consistent with the information they have received now. However, Nan Huan is more concerned about another thing. "If they can't enter the biochemical area, it is not difficult to enter the other wards, ABC, and according to the records, they have been able to freely enter other wards and confirm the existence of the infection source. Then why didn't they try to eliminate the records of these infection sources, unless..."

"Unless they have no way to eliminate it, or just like there is no record of how they tested it, they don't want people to know the method of elimination, so it is not recorded. But no matter which method it is, it means that they have not succeeded, because now people in the three wards have been infected, or the sources of infection have begun to stir."

This is not a good sign. Just as the system prompted last night, the patient is no longer 100% immune to infection. It seems like some kind of hint.

"There's still one page left, finish reading it first."

Bei Xi discovered that there was one last page of the document, but apart from the content on the document, she vaguely felt another kind of uneasiness, not about the source of infection, but about their current situation. Usually in this situation, when they are halfway through reading the document, something suddenly happens, but until now, apart from not being able to get out of the room, they haven't found anything strange, and this is what makes Bei Xi more concerned.

Nan Huan also thought of this, and with a heavy heart, he opened the last page. Compared with the other pages full of dense records, the last page seemed a little thin because there was only a short line of words.

At present, the existence of five infection sources in the Monster Hospital has been confirmed. Except for the infection source in the biochemical area, whose specific location has not been determined, the rest have been identified. In addition, except for the infection source in the biochemical area that has awakened and is active, the infection sources in the remaining areas are also on the verge of awakening.

The two men's eyes simultaneously noticed the two words "five places". After a brief flash of confusion in their eyes, they both regained their relaxed expressions and shifted their gazes to the locked safe in the room. However, neither of them approached it. Instead, they looked at the blurry photo frame on the table facing them.

"Whose office do you think we're in?"

Bei Xi crossed her arms, glanced around the room again, stuffed the last folder back into her body, and put on a leisurely expression, as if she was in the mood to chat with Nan Huan.

A hint of smile flashed in Nan Huan's eyes. The heaviness in her heart when she saw the document just now had disappeared. She looked into Bei Xi's eyes and answered with a smile, "Well, it's not too difficult to guess. Whether it's based on what I observed when I first entered this copy, or the rules that I got from President Yan about the staff members who need to abide by, it shows that in this hospital, the level of staff members is very important. Doctors and nurses are also divided into different levels, but those doctors and nurses are restricted to different wards. It is impossible for them to leave without permission. The records left here are all organized into suitable reports, so it is obvious that there is only one owner of this office, and that is the current acting dean of the Monster Hospital."

In fact, this is not difficult to guess. Nan Huan and Bei Xi had an idea in their minds shortly after entering the house. They originally wanted to see what tricks the system had. But now it seems that Bei Xi’s guess was correct. The system requires them to trigger something, such as confirming who owns this office.

As Nan Huan finished speaking, the photo of the two people on the table gradually became clearer from blurry, and a familiar figure gradually appeared in the photo. It was the figure of the acting dean that Nan Hua guessed.

However, this photo was not as normal as it seemed, because both of them found that there was a blue butterfly as big as a palm resting on Dean Dai's shoulder. The sun was shining brightly when he took this photo, and the mottled sunlight shone through the leaves onto Dean Dai's shoulder, leaving a few spots of light on the butterfly's wings, which looked bright and beautiful, and added a lively atmosphere to this weird room.

At the same time, the system prompt sound finally rang at this time.

[Congratulations on discovering that this is the acting dean's office.

Now the acting dean is the master of the Monster Hospital. He is in charge of everything in the Monster Hospital and strictly follows the rules of the Monster Hospital. He doesn't like people entering his office without permission. 】

The system's prompt did not surprise Nan Huan. After all, she had already anticipated what would trigger the side quest here. She just didn't expect that after the system said these words with some gloating, the originally safe room suddenly changed.

The walls on all sides began to compress and approach the center. The movement speed was not fast, but the bookshelves along the wall were squeezed and broken, and fell straight towards the two of them. Fortunately, Bei Xi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He wanted to use the iron pick to sweep it directly, but it fell on his own hands on the bookshelf. Fortunately, the bookshelf was broken into two pieces.

Upon seeing this, Nan Huan instinctively picked up the photo on the table, not wanting it to be smashed. At the same time, he flapped his wings tentatively to see if his gift skill could still be used, but there was no movement for a long time.

[The acting dean's penalty has been triggered, and the control panel has been disabled. 】

The system explained with ill intentions, and Nan Huan thought it might be just there to watch the fun. After all, when the control panel was disabled before, the system was not so kind to remind people every time.

As soon as the warning sound for triggering the punishment sounded, Nan Huan felt the photo frame she was holding struggle violently, as if something flew out of it. The moment she blinked, she saw a large blue halo flying out of the photo frame and flying straight towards the two of them.

The blue butterfly was as big as a palm. When it was flying in the air, its two ice-blue wings were completely closed, like an ice-blue needle, flying towards the two people at an extremely fast speed.

Except for the iron axe and air arrow which came from the control panel, Bei Xi's other abilities were all her own. Even the red flower on her neck did not dim because the control panel was disabled. As the bookshelf blocked her way, she could not hug Nan Huan in her arms right away. She had to extend a few transparent tentacles from her sleeves to block Nan Huan. Those ice-blue butterflies, like blue needles, directly pierced the tentacles.

Those tentacles are the incarnation of the jellyfish Hel. Nan Huan is not sure to what extent Beixi's body has merged with Hel, but judging from the condition of the little fire dragon last time, this fusion does not seem to have reached a complete state. Because Beixi always deliberately does not want to reveal this to himself, the power of Hel is still very strong.

However, now those tentacles that were originally very powerful and could grab the black flowers were directly stabbed by the blue butterfly and stuck to the wall behind Nan Huan. Bei Xi was unable to break free. Fortunately, she broke her tail in time and cut off those tentacles, then hugged Nan Huan in her arms.

"Don't let the blue butterflies touch you," Bei Xi took out the photo frame from Nan Huan's arms and summoned Charmander again, wanting it to burn the butterflies in the air directly. However, Charmander's actions could only temporarily prevent the butterflies from approaching. After a burst of flames, the butterflies were intact, without any signs of being hurt.

There was no obvious surprise on Bei Xi's face, he just wanted to destroy the photo frame first.

But before Beixi could take any action, Nanhuan stopped her, "Wait a minute."
