As the most popular Golden Finger system, Jing Ke developed self-awareness and discovered that many individuals used it to successfully reverse their fates and become the so-called male protagonist...
Chapter 178 World Seven [7]
Most of the information about the medical examination center comes from Xiaobai's description. His emotions are not very stable, so he revealed very little.
However, judging from his overly stressed behavior, it can be seen that the physical examination center is definitely not a place where normal players should go. It is also a place where many secrets are buried.
There is not much information on the sixth floor. The clues that Huang San and Da Zhuang went to find on the first to third floors are there. They got the daily schedule of doctors and found that each doctor has a wide range of expertise. One day he is in ophthalmology and the next day he is in orthopedics.
This information reminded Huo Yi of the display board he saw at the beginning. The personal introductions of the doctors on the display board were very vague. After reading it, his biggest impression was that every doctor was very good.
This information is obviously inconsistent with general cognition. Studying medicine is notoriously difficult. A single subject is enough for them to study for several years. Unless they are super geniuses, it is impossible to be proficient in multiple subjects.
"According to the latest schedule, there are very few departments open on Saturdays and Sundays. Only the chief physicians are left in the major departments. That might be a good time to investigate the sixth floor," said Huang San.
The most noteworthy thing on the sixth floor is the archive room. To enter the archive room, you must pass through the offices of the department heads.
Huo Yi nodded, weighed the value of the information, and explained the time when the patient on the fifth floor's surgery failed and the patient on the fourth floor was successfully discharged.
"The wards on the fourth floor are not full. If we get rid of the patient in ward 503, is there any chance that Xiaobai in ward 403 will recover and be discharged?" Xiaowen asked.
Xiaobai is a relatively important person to Xiaowen. If something happens to Xiaobai, he will most likely be the next person to be forced to volunteer as a patient.
"Maybe. We can talk to Xiaobai later and tell him not to be so extreme," Huang San said, patting Xiaowen on the shoulder. "Then we'll work together. We need to be united in the dungeon world."
"Another point is that this hospital is for entry only and not exit. Once you lose sight of the target, they will disappear out of thin air." Huo Yi revealed another piece of information.
In fact, it’s not just vehicles. The same principle applies to the nurse who was lost in the basement before.
"You mean, if you want to follow someone, you have to keep staring at them? You can't blink?" Heishi asked with a frown.
Huo Yi nodded slowly: "If two people blink at the same time, there is a chance that they will lose the target. If the building blocks the view, the target will be lost 100% of the time."
"The hospital might be an illusion, but it could also be that something inside the hospital is causing cognitive impairment," Blackstone explained. "We spend the vast majority of our time in hospitals, so it's very likely we're being subtly influenced and changed."
Although the old players all had their own little thoughts, they were all very serious when discussing and analyzing. After a collision of ideas, they all gained a lot.
The secret of the medical examination center is currently unclear. No one dares to go to the seventh floor, and there is no reliable way to enter the basement.
Tomorrow, the focus of old players will be on Xiaobai entering the operating room. Similarly, the laboratory on the third floor will probably be turned upside down.
"Number One, are you planning to spend the night outside today as well?" After the discussion came to an end, Huang San shifted the topic to Huo Yi.
"My idea is the same as yours. Just because it was safe on the first night doesn't mean it will be safe tonight. Do you want to try to get to know some new patients and stay in the hospital as a family member of another patient?" Huang San asked with a sincere attitude, and he seemed very concerned about Huo Yi's situation.
In fact, it is hard to say what Huang San is thinking. Maybe he wants to know what secrets Huo Yi is hiding, or maybe he simply wants to use him.
"No need. I can get through the first day, and the same goes for the second day." Huo Yi rejected Huang San's concern.
Apart from anything else, the dean's ID card on Huo Yi was enough for her to spend the seven days safely.
However, Huo Yi herself did not want to stay, so she would not resort to such means unless she had no other choice.
-
After the brainstorming session, the six people went their separate ways.
Huo Yi had a pretty good experience sleeping on the massage chair last night, so she planned to use the old method tonight.
Warning items are not cheap in the safe zone, but for veteran players, it’s as easy as buying a bottle of soda.
After nightfall, the room temperature in the hospital also dropped a lot.
After closing her eyes, Huo Yi felt the warmth radiating from her chest, which made her think of the existence of a certain dean before going to sleep.
To be fair, Huo Yi currently thinks the dean is a good person. It would be even better if he didn't want to keep her but simply wanted to help her.
This time Huo Yi fell asleep quickly, and she still set up security equipment.
But when a certain dean walked up to Huo Yi, the props she placed were not activated.
Jing Ke stood in front of Huo Yi and looked at him for a long time. After sighing softly, he took off his white coat and covered Huo Yi with it.
A dreamless night.
Adequate sleep allowed Huo Yi to wake up in very good condition the next day. After discovering that she was wearing an extra white coat, she was shocked at first, but after thinking of a certain dean, her accelerated heart slowly calmed down.
Huo Yi bent down and sniffed the scent on the white coat for some unknown reason, then put it into his backpack as if trying to cover up his mistake.
The main point is that as long as I don’t see anything, then nothing has happened.
After noticing from the screen that it was not yet six o'clock, Huo Yi used the dim light to go from the second floor to the fourth floor.
Unlike last time, this time Huo Yi tried to strike up a conversation with the cleaner when he took out his tools.
"How long do you work in a day? Do you only need to work in the morning?" Huo Yi asked, and while asking the question, he sensibly handed over a hundred-dollar bill.
The cleaner paused, glanced at the hospital corridor, and then calmly held the banknote in his hand.
"If a patient is discharged, we are also responsible for the corresponding cleaning and disinfection work," said the cleaner. "Our responsibilities vary depending on the floor, and my workload is relatively small."
"Where is the heaviest workload?" Huo Yi asked.
"The workload on the sixth and third floors is the heaviest, followed closely by the fifth floor," said a cleaner on the fourth floor.
Huo Yi took note of this information and asked, "What about the dean's office? Is there someone in charge of sanitation on the seventh floor?"
The cleaner on the fourth floor nodded and said, "Yes, but the rules are different. Our supervisor will only take us to serve the dean after the dean takes the initiative to order us to do so."
Huo Yi: "Do you know the cleaner on the fifth floor? It's not convenient for us to ask her some questions at this time?"
The cleaner on the fourth floor showed a hesitant look on his face. "I can only answer one more question for you. Are you sure you want to ask this?"
Huo Yi nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I want to know that."
For the sake of the hundred-dollar bill, the cleaner on the fourth floor finally told what he knew. "The person in charge of the fifth floor is a veteran. I have an okay relationship with her, but we're not that close."
"Her salary is very high. If you want to bribe her with this, you'll have to pay at least three times the price." said the cleaner on the fourth floor, and then hid the banknotes close to his body.
"We don't have any strict work hours. We just need to finish cleaning the thirty-four wards before dinner." The cleaner offered another piece of information. "Whether before or after work, as long as you don't create trash, we won't touch you."
The information provided by the cleaner on the fourth floor was very useful. Huo Yi originally thought that if he took out one more banknote, the other party would reveal some more information to him.
But the reaction of the cleaner on the fourth floor was beyond her expectations. He looked like he was going to work, forcing Huo Yi to climb up and try to get clues from the cleaner on the fifth floor with a three hundred yuan bill.
The cleaner on the fifth floor seemed to be a little more difficult to deal with. Her attitude towards her did not change even though Huo Yi paid for it. She kept looking at her as if she were examining some merchandise.
It was not until the cleaner took another step forward and smelled the frightening aura of the human in front of him that he calmed down a little.
"Five minutes, three questions." The cleaner on the fifth floor stuffed the three hundred yuan into his pocket without hesitation.
"I'm new here and don't know what I should pay attention to. Please give me some advice, sister." Huo Yi said, lowering his posture.
It is known that the cleaner on the fifth floor is an old employee and the role of banknotes is very limited. Therefore, when the amount of money is the same, the attitude of the person asking the question is very important.
Huo Yi is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. If he wants to survive well in the copy world, he must be smart enough.
Facts have proved that Huo Yi's idea is right. She took the initiative to lower her attitude, which made the cleaner on the fifth floor show a satisfied expression.
"I don't have anything to tell you, but you must remember not to disobey the dean's will. We must obey all the dean's orders unconditionally without even a hint of questioning."
"After lights out, unless you are a medical staff member, do not enter or leave the ward at will. You must wait until we have finished cleaning before you can enter."
"If you encounter any problems, you can dial 0001 and ask for help from the nurse at the first-floor service desk. However, it is best to do so during the day, as the nurses on duty at night are not the same as during the day."
"The dean likes quiet. Do not go to the seventh floor without his permission. If you disturb him, you will become the public enemy of the hospital."
"Everyone has something to do. If you don't have anything to do, then you have no value in existence. The hospital will recycle you to prevent your final value from being wasted."
"That's all I'm willing to tell you. Some tricks can be used once or twice, but not three times," said the cleaner on the fifth floor.
When Yu Guang saw that it was already 6:03, he picked up the mop and disinfectant and prepared to go to work.
"It's still more than half an hour before breakfast. Do you need me to help you clean the fifth floor?" Huo Yi said, thinking that this cleaner was a good breakthrough point. She obviously knew the inside story of the hospital.
"Have you seen the condition of the patient on the fifth floor?" The cleaner raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Yi.
Huo Yi nodded and said, "I have a friend who is a family member accompanying a patient on the fifth floor. I have also visited him."
"Then your friend must be a very brave person." The cleaner smiled, threw an unused mask and gloves to Huo Yi, and accepted the other party's goodwill.
Huo Yi put on the mask, and then she smelled a faint stench of decay.
Huo Yi could be sure that the mask he was wearing was brand new and absolutely free of any stains or odors.
So the question is, where does this putrid smell come from? Is it because I'm wearing a mask that my perception has become a little stronger?
Many thoughts flashed through Huo Yi's mind, but she didn't have time to sit down and think about them. After putting on her gloves, she pushed the cleaning cart and followed the previous cleaner.
-
"What did you say? You became a temporary cleaner and saw a different side of the hospital?" While having breakfast at seven o'clock, Xiaolu showed a surprised expression on her face. It was unclear whether she was amazed at Huo Yi's boldness or her gains.
"Well, after putting on the mask, I smelled a strange odor. When I was helping to take out the trash, I saw a lot of flesh and blood." Huo Yi said as he took a bite of the bun. After thinking of those scenes, his appetite was gone by 99%.
However, Huo Yi still opened his mouth and bit it with great strength. After making sure that the color and taste of the meat bun were no different from the pork he knew, he chewed and swallowed it.
"Where is Heishi? He went to the fifth floor at the beginning. Does he know some secret?" Xiaolu asked.
"I'm not sure. The fifth floor is more dangerous than the fourth floor, but there are more clues available. He might have used some predictive or sensing props." Huo Yi sighed.
Xiaolu took a bite of the bun and said, "Then I'll go and see if I can get more clues tomorrow when the cleaning staff comes. I still have a lot of money."
Huo Yi shook his head. "Three times is enough. I asked the cleaner on the fourth floor once, and then asked the cleaner on the fifth floor again. If you do this again, it will be the third time, and it may be dangerous."
Xiaolu nodded, then paused. "If three times is the limit, does that mean we can only go to the basement twice? Didn't we bribe the security guards the first time we came out?"
"That's right. If we go in a third time, bribing the security guards won't work." Huo Yi agreed with Xiao Lu's assessment. "But next time, Black Stone will take out the props. Maybe he'll give us a second chance."
"I don't think so. You've already told them the method of leaving and the layout. Before they act together on the sixth day, Huang San and Hei Shi will definitely team up to investigate the underground level."
Xiaolu said, "If we remain skeptical of the information they provide, their attitude towards us will only become more cautious."
"Forget it. We'll just take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out, we'll just give up the extra reward for clearing the levels. Life is the most important thing. Just treat this as survival and try to stay alive." Xiaolu sighed.
After finishing breakfast, Xiaolu, who hadn’t slept well, lay down to catch up on her sleep. She didn’t leave the ward until the chief physician finished his rounds at nine o’clock.
Good news, after the ward check, the new patient Xiaobai in room 403 was not taken for surgery and he is safe now.
Bad news, he is only safe today. The reason why Xiaobai was not scheduled for surgery is that the doctor has to give priority to the patient in bed 503. He can escape today, but not tomorrow.
"Something happened to the patient on the fifth floor. It must have been caused by Black Stone." Huo Yi said in a low voice, "When we cleaned the beds this morning, the patient in 503 was still fine."
"We've detained the person, but there's now an empty bed in the ward on the fifth floor." Xiaolu let out a sigh. "Even though we can't prevent it, let's tell them the rule of three times the limit."
Huo Yi did not object. After Heishi sent his counterpart into the operating room as a patient's family member, another brainstorming session began among the old players.
The information that the other people could provide was very limited. No one except Heishi could provide any clues that would interest Huo Yi and Xiaolu.
Finally, the other five people received the following two messages in the form of 400 safe zone currency each: three times the limit, and the dean's office cannot do such things casually.
"They are just two security guards. If all else fails, just kill them. At worst, we can just be more vigilant during the last day and avoid being attacked." This was Da Zhuang's opinion.
"We helped you delay for one more day. Shouldn't you return the favor and say something useful?" Huang San's gaze fell on Xiaobai.
It can be seen from Huang San's unfriendly attitude that both he and Heishi paid a considerable price to cause trouble for the patient in Ward 503.
Xiaobai pursed his lips and said, "In my opinion, rather than saying that there is a physical examination center on the sixth floor, it would be better to say that there is a cargo sorting center on the sixth floor."
"Everyone sent in is just cargo, and the machines will measure their valuable parts." Xiaobai said with dull eyes, "In their eyes, we are just objects that can be disassembled and handled at will."
"What did you encounter?" Xiaowen asked.
Xiaobai's eyes darkened. "It's a very special machine. It scans your entire body and obtains certain information about your body. The machine told me that my eyes can 'help two people,' my heart, lungs, liver, and even my skin. It can help many people."
Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, I won't hide it from you. I've already been arranged by the medical examination center. I suspect those patients in the operating room weren't rescue failures at all, but were being carved up like merchandise."
"So, the current situation is that this hospital is very likely selling organs from living people?" Huang San asked.
"But if that's the case, what's the point of the fourth floor? Is it a cover-up?" Da Zhuang didn't quite understand.
Huang San stroked his smooth chin. "The World's No. 1 Miracle Hospital. If it's just illegally selling organs from living people, it doesn't seem to deserve the name. There must be some existence and power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. You can't just say it's the world's No. 1."
The conversation between the few people made Huo Yi frown. She didn't think that Dean Jing Ke would let such a thing happen under her nose.
Regardless of any evidence or clues, Huo Yi came to this conclusion entirely based on his own intuition.
"Let's get back to the topic. Are we going to the dean's office tomorrow?" Xiaolu said.
"Of course we'll go. As long as we keep quiet and don't disturb the dean, it'll be fine." Huang San said, "The dean is very busy and won't stay in her office all the time."
Huang San: "I've heard that the director will have a video conference with the directors of other hospitals from 10:00 to 2:00 on Thursday. The location will be on the second floor. That's a good opportunity for us to investigate the seventh floor."
"Is this news reliable?" Xiaolu asked with a hint of doubt.
"If you feel it's unreliable, you can withdraw from tomorrow's event. I won't force everyone to join me." Huang San spread his hands, looking as if it was all voluntary.
Huo Yi did not express her opinion, but she noticed that the ID card she was holding on her chest had become hotter, as if the dean knew the content of their conversation through this ID card.
-
On the other hand, after hearing that someone would come to the seventh floor tomorrow, Jing Ke did not react much. She even had a hint of expectation in her heart, hoping that they could find out all the truth on the fourth day, so that she could have more time to develop feelings with Huo Yi.
Through the office surveillance, Jing Ke saw that after finishing the discussion, the seven people went their separate ways.
Jing Ke still acted with Xiaolu as Huo Yi, whom she was thinking about all the time. They chose to go to the first and second floors to observe the doctors' work in the department, and to confirm whether it was true or not that the dean needed to hold a meeting on Thursday.
Huang San took a few relatively weaker people with him to verify the authenticity of the information provided by Huo Yi and others.
The one who acted alone was Black Stone. He went directly to the second underground floor. After walking and stopping, he chose a remote corner and used his prop with a cooling time of 24 hours.
That's right, Blackstone chose one person to go to the basement to investigate the situation.
Relying on the floor plan provided by Huo Yi, Heishi directly entered the so-called hidden area. He seemed to have a lot of props on him, and the second after entering the space, he became invisible.
However, Heishi was still shocked by the scene before him. Looking at the room he was currently in, jars of various sizes were neatly arranged, and organs of various types and sizes were soaked in them.
It is obvious that these things were taken from people of different age groups.
Heishi took a quick look and found that the most common organs were lungs and kidneys, which gave him the feeling that these two organs were selling particularly well.
Could it be that Huang San and Da Zhuang's speculation was true? Was this World's First Miracle Hospital actually a human organ trafficking operation?
Did I go to the fifth floor according to the instructions just because there were more obvious victims on the fifth floor?
Blackstone began to think, and felt that he had been deceived by the so-called instructions.
If this was the only difference between the fifth and fourth floors, there would be no need for him to take such a big risk and stay on the fifth floor. He also wouldn't need to waste props to let a loser like Xiaobai live for another day.
Because to destroy a hospital like this, violent demolition is enough.
