Chapter 181 World Seven [10]

After opening the office door, Huo Yi met Jing Ke's smiling eyes.

Huo Yi took out Jing Ke's ID card, walked straight to the desk, and placed the ID card in front of Jing Ke.

"Thank you, Dean, for lending me this ID card. Now it's time to return it to its rightful owner." Huo Yi said calmly, pushing the ID card over.

"Are you going to give it back to me? Is this card not useful?" Jing Ke crossed his hands on his legs, his posture very relaxed and casual.

"It's very useful, but it's not something I, who can only stay in the dungeon for seven days, can possess." Huo Yi said, "Please, Dean, take it back."

"No rush." ​​Jing Ke released his hand, stood up from his chair, turned around and pressed the button on the wall.

The curtains in the house slowly moved to the sides, and as the lights in the room dimmed, sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows without reservation.

"Everything outside is real. As long as you are willing to stay, wherever you look, you can move around." Jing Ke stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and extended an invitation to Huo Yi.

The long-lost sunshine felt really good. Huo Yi did not refuse in a hurry, but accepted the invitation and stood beside Jing Ke, looking down.

After looking into the distance, Huo Yi discovered a fact: this was not a scene that could be seen on the seventh floor.

Looking down at the mountains, I felt that the height I was at was definitely over 200 meters.

"For you, this may be a copy world. But for the natives of this world, this is the world they live in. Whatever you have in your original world, you can also have in this world." Jing Ke said.

"Why don't you stay? There are so many more interesting things here than in the safe zone. You can meet a lot of new friends here and have brand new relationships."

"Just like you feel, you could be the director of the world's first miracle hospital, and save lives with me that shouldn't have passed away in their prime years. Isn't that a very meaningful thing?"

Jing Ke turned her head to look at Huo Yi, waiting patiently for her answer.

"Dean, this proposal is indeed tempting to me, but I already have friends. I will not give up my original world, where I was born and raised."

Huo Yi turned his head to meet Jing Ke's gaze, without a trace of retreat in his eyes, "My roots are not in this world."

"As far as I know, weren't you betrayed by your relatives in your original world? Is that kind of place still worth your nostalgia?" Jing Ke asked back.

Huo Yi's eyes changed slightly, and he was a little surprised why Jing Ke knew this.

"You read my memory?" Huo Yi's expression showed a hint of vigilance.

"I wouldn't do anything so rude." Jing Ke denied it directly. "I just want to know the circumstances under which you entered the dungeon world and how you became one of the players."

"If that's the case, the dean should be able to understand me better and why I want to go back to the original world. I want to find out why I had a car accident, and I want those who did it to pay the corresponding price." Huo Yi said.

Although Huo Yi hadn't found any evidence of her car accident, she could narrow down her suspicions to two people based on the time of the accident.

It was either done by her good half-brother or her seemingly peaceful stepmother.

"Do you want a chance to return to your original world?" Jing Ke asked back.

Huo Yi nodded, "Yes, so I'm sorry, I have to reject the dean's request."

"But is there any necessary connection between this and your rejection of me?" Jing Ke asked back.

"Huh?" Huo Yi was stunned for a moment.

"Just as you guessed, I am the boss of the copy world. I can be considered as the person who gives you another chance." Jing Ke smiled.

Because she is not wearing glasses, Jing Ke looks gentler now, and the golden sunlight reflected on her body makes her image look more positive.

"As long as you promise me, you can have the same authority as me. I am the dean, and you are also the dean. I can travel between different worlds, so can you."

Jing Ke offered Huo Yi an offer he couldn't refuse. "Promise me, and you won't have to go through the ninety-nine levels. Not only can you become an administrator, but you can also become the supervisor among administrators."

"You don't need to give too much, just live by my side as my partner." Jing Ke coaxed, "You are still free, as long as you are willing to come back to me after you are done with your work."

Huo Yi listened in a daze, her reason and emotions were fighting fiercely.

Huo Yi did not doubt that Jing Ke had the ability to travel between different worlds, but she did not understand why Jing Ke wanted to give her half of the power?

Was it a case of love at first sight? But I wasn't exactly a heartthrob, and my actions weren't particularly impressive.

Huo Yi could understand his experience before entering the office. It was just an illusion created by Jing Ke.

Jing Ke wanted to tell her through the unreserved information and the attitude of the medical staff that as long as she cooperated, everything the nurse said would be true.

He is Dean Huo Yi and she is Dean Jing Ke. They have a very good relationship, so good that they are indistinguishable from each other.

"Be careful. Don't trust anyone in the dungeon world. Remember this."

Her friend's last piece of advice flashed through Huo Yi's mind, making the struggle in her eyes even more obvious.

Reason tells Huo Yi that no one in the dungeon can be trusted, especially the powerful dungeon boss. The fact that the dungeon boss can keep the player in the dungeon world is enough to prove the boss's power.

But Huo Yi's intuition told him that the person in front of him could be trusted. Jing Ke had not lied to him. As long as he nodded in agreement, he could easily get everything he wanted.

Do you want to gamble or not? Do you agree or not?

"So, by passing ninety-nine copies, one can become the administrator of the copy world. This is not just a simple rumor, but the truth?" Huo Yi asked after a long silence.

"I guess so. Anyone who can clear so many dungeons is very strong, so strong that they can ignore some rules." Jing Ke did not deny it, nor did he lie. "But I must tell you a fact. So far, no one has reached such a number of clearances."

"Why? Is it because the copies are getting harder and harder?" Huo Yi asked back.

"No, because after the player passes it sixty-six times, he can use currency to buy a prop. A prop that can go back ten years and return to the real world." Jing Ke raised his hand and supported it on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Those who managed to persevere generally had a strong obsession with returning to their so-called original world. So when they discovered this item, they all considered it and chose to redeem it."

"Surviving in a dungeon world is a difficult task. You need to be on guard not only against enemies, but also against fellow players."

"Huo Yi, if I'm not mistaken, you've done it almost fifty times, right?" Jing Ke looked into the distance. "You've been in the dungeon world for three years and five months. You've been doing it once a month. This is your forty-first dungeon."

"Of the previous forty dungeons, you explored all the hidden areas in five dungeons, accumulating an additional ten clearances."

Jing Ke leaned closer to Huo Yi and said, "Have you noticed? Your body, or rather your subconscious, isn't on guard against me. I don't think you need to think too much about it. A way to save you a year is already right in front of you."

-

Huang San felt that his current situation was terrible. In the more than ten copies he had experienced before, he had also had experiences of fighting against bosses, but never had he been so helpless.

The power of the C4 bomb is indeed very great, which can be seen from the fact that all the nurses and doctors were destroyed.

But after the strange environment disappeared, they found themselves in a hospital that looked very busy, holding weapons and dangerous goods.

After a brief moment of confusion, the people around them quickly started screaming, and then someone in security uniform pinned them down.

Fortunately, Huang San had a secret prop and was able to swap positions with an audience member in time, otherwise he would have been tied up like Heishi and the others and taken away.

He was not very happy after escaping successfully, because he found that his backpack and props were all disabled. Now he was no different from an ordinary person except that he was a little stronger.

To make matters worse, Huang San discovered that this was not the so-called seventh floor at all. He was in a high-rise building with dozens of floors and could not escape even if he had wings.

Huang San originally wanted to blend into the crowd and see if he could take the elevator to the ground level and observe the current environment carefully.

Because of the farce just now, the number of security personnel on the floor increased threefold, making the isolated and helpless Huang San dare not approach at all.

Damn it, this dean’s meeting is a complete trap!

Huang San had no way to escape, so he could only go to the toilet with relatively poor security and try to look out through the toilet window to figure out his situation.

Huang San's idea was not wrong; a relatively private place like the restroom was indeed one that security personnel would not casually search. However, Huang San forgot that this was a dungeon world. As a rabbit who had actively walked into a trap, how could he possibly have a chance of escape?

-

Xiaolu had been guarding the staircase door on the seventh floor. She was very worried about her friend's situation, but she was also worried that if she went in now, it would cause trouble for Huo Yi.

Neither the white coat nor the ID card were items that Xiaolu had, and she was not sure if she could escape unscathed.

The explosion occurred around 10:30, and it was already 12:30, well past lunch time.

Xiaolu was worried that she was breaking the rules, so she simply took out the soda that Huo Yi had given her before. After opening it and using a silver needle to make sure there was no problem, she gulped down the whole bottle, which she considered as her lunch.

After burping three times in a row, Xiaolu rubbed her sore nose and simply sat down on the steps, waiting for Huo Yi to come out.

When the footsteps were heard, Xiaolu stood up excitedly. Without saying a word, Xiaolu saw five people wearing pure white restraint suits, being tied to stretchers and brought out to the stage.

Xiaobai, Xiaowen, Dazhuang, Heishi, and the last one is Huang San.

This group of people were all caught, which was also within Xiaolu's expectations. When they were stroking the tiger's whiskers, they should have thought that this would be the outcome.

"What happened to them?" Xiaolu asked these questions as objectively as possible.

"They have brain problems and should have given up treatment, but the director is kind-hearted, so they will be arranged to be treated on the fifth floor." The nurse following behind said kindly.

When Xiaolu saw that the nurse was willing to talk to her, she asked about Huo Yi's condition.

"My friend seems to have gone in too. She's the one wearing a white coat and has a good relationship with the dean." Xiaolu asked, "Did you meet the nurse's mother?"

"Huh? Are you asking about Dean Huo's condition?" The nurse turned her head and looked over.

"Dean Huo?" Xiaolu widened her eyes, unsure whether it was her friend's ID card that worked, or whether Huo Yi had really done something outrageous.

"Isn't that Dean Huo?" The nurse also looked puzzled.

"What's the full name of your Dean Huo?" Xiaolu asked after swallowing. Could it be that his slightly outrageous guesses would come true at this moment?

"Dean Huo is of course Dean Huo Yi. Are you Dean Huo's friend?" The nurse frowned slightly.

"Yes, yes, what is Dean Huo doing now? Can I go in to find her?" Xiaolu didn't bother to ask too many questions. She just wanted to make sure whether Huo Yi was sober and fell into depravity, or had temporarily compromised for the sake of expediency.

"The two deans have just finished lunch and will probably take a short nap. If you need to see Dean Huo, I suggest you go in and see her after 1:30," said the nurse.

Seeing Xiaolu lowering her head and not saying anything, the nurse quickly walked towards the stairs, trying to keep up with her colleagues.

Why take the stairs instead of the elevator? Of course the elevator is under maintenance because of the explosion, so even if you have a card, you can't use it.

Xiaolu sat down again in a daze, looking at the sky, the ground, and the time, and waited until half past one.

Before Xiaolu could go inside, Huo Yi, who had changed his clothes, came out.

Huo Yi was wearing a brand new white coat, and the ID card pinned to her chest clearly recorded her name and position.

Huo Yi, director of the world's first miracle hospital.

After a brief moment of confusion, Xiaolu couldn't help but hugged Huo Yi and started crying.

"What's wrong with you, Huo Yi, how did you become the dean! I swear, I will never joke with you again. I said you were pouting, but I was just saying it. Don't take it seriously!"

"Huo Yi, speak up! Tell me what's wrong with you!"

Huo Yi's body swayed back and forth because of Xiaolu's movements. After he exhaled heavily, he spoke with great difficulty.

"I'm a gigolo and I took a shortcut," Huo Yi said, placing his hands on his friend's shoulders so they could both calm down.

"I made a deal with Jing Ke, the dean. I can get the right to travel freely between the safe zone and the Century's First Miracle Hospital." Huo Yi said.

"What's the price you need to pay?" asked Xiaolu, who found it difficult to calm down but tried his best.

"I will stay by her side for at least eight hours every day." Huo Yi said, "I've made up my mind. I just need to come over when she's asleep. Then, in the blink of an eye, eight hours will have passed."

Little Green: ...

"Well, I'm not joking this time. I really want to ask you something." Xiaolu swallowed, "Are you really not related to that dean? Even if you were really pouting, I wouldn't look down on you or do anything to you."

Huo Yi closed his eyes and said, "We are just friends at the moment, and we haven't had any physical relationship yet."

For now, temporarily.

After hearing these two words, Xiaolu had almost figured out the answer in his mind.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you. But think positively. At least this dean is good-looking and very humane. There's room for negotiation." Xiaolu sighed.

Obviously, in Xiaolu's opinion, the situation of his friend is only slightly better than that of the player who was forced to stay in the dungeon by the boss and became his forbidden food.

Huo Yi didn't know how to explain to his friends that the dungeon boss seemed to have fallen in love with him at first sight, and was even suspected of being in love.

We can only make the best of it and let this misunderstanding remain for the time being.

-

After becoming the dean, Huo Yi has no taboos in the hospital and can do whatever he wants.

In order to help his friend get double the number of times to pass the level, Huo Yi directly told Xiaolu the truth he discovered.

"These people deserve to die. If they didn't have privileges, they would have been cremated and turned into ashes long ago." Huo Yi told the information he had seen and the things he had verified.

After hearing that the patients lying on the fifth floor were the real organ traffickers, Xiaolu instantly felt that they were not pitiful at all and even wanted to applaud.

"In that case, will Huang San and the others become similar beings? Using their lives to save the lives of other innocent people?" Xiaolu asked.

"They have nothing to do with the patients on the fourth floor for now. Until the second group of players arrives, they will remain sick and waiting for treatment." Huo Yi said.

Huo Yi also asked Jing Ke this question, and she told her the answer very frankly.

"If there are kindhearted people among the second and subsequent players, they will be treated here after being injured. Their injuries will be transferred to Huang San and others until they die."

"But relatively speaking, there are very few kind-hearted players. Most of them are those who break the rules." Huo Yi paused and said, "If the number reaches 100, they will be packed up and sent to a place where they can play their final role."

Xiaolu didn't ask where that place was, but just nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

A boss who can come up with such a method should be considered a good person, at least better than the bosses in other copies.

After checking the condition of the patient on the fifth floor, Huo Yi swiped his card and took Xiaolu to the basement, found the hidden access control, and swiped his card to open the hidden area there.

"These are organs that were once taken by those people through improper means. The director has taken away things that did not belong to them and stored them here."

"This is the part that those patients are missing, and it is also the only part that keeps those patients alive," Huo Yi said.

"As long as these things are not damaged, those people can continue to live by relying on the transformed vitality."

"As you can see, the hundreds of lives lost in the previous comments are still relatively restrained. In fact, tens of thousands of people have been killed in this industry chain." Huo Yi sighed lightly.

Xiaolu didn't speak for a long time. Only after leaving the underground floor did he speak.

"Where are the doctors and nurses?" Xiaolu asked.

"Some are family members, and some are actual medical staff," Huo Yi said. "The current World's First Miracle Hospital here is only the beginning of the World's First Miracle Hospital. The actual hospital headquarters already has more than 70 floors, and the campus is very, very large."

Huo Yi glanced down at his white coat and said, "For players, this is what the hospital looks like. Unless you're willing to stay, otherwise..."

"I don't want to stay here. I'd better go back to the safe zone." Xiaolu interrupted his friend's extremely scary possibility.

"I won't ask you any other questions. I'll just ask you one question: are you sure you are free?" Xiaolu showed a serious expression.

Xiaolu met Huo Yi's gaze, allowing him to see her expression clearly. "Don't compromise with the dean because of me. If you are not free, just tell me directly. As your friend, I will do my best to get you out, unless I die completely."

"Didn't I tell you I'm a gigolo?" Huo Yi said, touching his nose. "I'm very free at the moment. The dean won't force me, but instead gives me time to think about it."

"Are you a gigolo?" Xiaolu blinked, thinking of what Huo Yi had said once but which she had completely ignored.

"What shortcut did you take?" Xiaolu realized belatedly.

"There are quite a lot of shortcuts. If I work faster, I will be an administrator soon." Huo Yi coughed lightly.

"Ah?" Xiaolu, who had only completed the game more than 20 times, showed an ignorant expression.

If you are noticed by the dungeon boss, won’t you be left behind and never have the chance to leave the dungeon world and return to reality?

Why is it that after a friend of yours is noticed by the dungeon boss, the situation becomes the opposite. Not only does he gain the authority of the dungeon boss without saying a word, but he can also directly skip the hard work and become the dungeon world administrator?

Why is this? Could it be that my friend is the reincarnation of the dungeon boss Bai Yueguang?

Xiaolu was greatly shocked. He didn't know whether he should continue to persuade her and say that the boss in the copy world couldn't be trusted.

In this way, the fourth day passed in a chaotic situation, and time came to night.

Xiaolu enjoyed the feeling of being successful and having everyone else benefit from it, and on the fourth night he was given the right to rest in the guest room on the seventh floor.

After politely declining the opportunity to have dinner with the dungeon world boss, Xiaolu looked at Huo Yi many times, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she slowly walked into the guest room, took a shower and lay down while being vigilant.

Forget it, maybe Huo Yi is really the reincarnation of boss Bai Yueguang!

There are three guest rooms on the seventh floor. At Huo Yi's suggestion, Xiaolu chose the room where Huo Yi had slept for one night.

Where did Huo Yi sleep? Of course, he slept where the dean should sleep.

The agreement was reached. After enjoying the authority as the dean, Huo Yi also had to abide by the rules and stay with Jing Ke for more than eight hours every day.

Instead of looking at each other in confusion during the day, Huo Yi chose to lie down and sleep together for eight hours after turning off the lights.
