Chapter 50 NPCs Kill All Players (12)

In the desolate and lonely asylum, a raging fire engulfed everything, the intense heat enveloping her entire body. Jin Shu suddenly opened her eyes amidst excruciating pain.

Cold liquid seeped from the ceiling above, and a familiar yet strange fishy stench filled the air.

She realized she was still in the mental hospital, and the smell was coming from her room, a lingering stench of decay.

She died in the fire.

When the fire broke out, Jin Shu thought she could escape, but just as she was about to rush out, an invisible restraint bound her hands and feet, making her unable to move.

Finally, Jin Shu watched helplessly as flames climbed all over her body.

The burning pain felt so real, so real that Jin Shu was acutely aware that she had died again.

After all that planning, he still died in the end.

Jin Shu wasn't discouraged, after all, she had already done her best to survive for so long under those people.

Against an arrogant and conceited person like Q, you could easily defeat her with your bare hands when she has no weapons.

After all, Jin Shu was once the number one ancient martial arts master in the cultivation world. She had lost all her cultivation, and in order to survive in that world, she had to train her fist and foot skills.

I never imagined that the hard work I put in back then would come in handy now.

However, these martial arts skills are insufficient when facing those weapons.

No matter how fast she is, she can't outrun a gun in someone else's hand, not to mention that in this game, as high-level players, they also possess super-strong healing and blood-clotting abilities.

And she, whom others call a low-level monster, has less than a fraction of their health points.

Thinking that she still had one life left, Jin Shu sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, then she slowly stood up.

No, I have to find a way to survive.

Just then, a rustling sound came from behind.

Looking back, San San was crawling on the floor, rummaging through the boxes under the bed.

Finally, she sighed and stood up.

"I only have one life left, hey, what about you?"

"Me too."

Jin Shu spoke indifferently, as if everything was none of her business.

"It's lucky you let me bring a weapon today, otherwise I would have died even more miserably. We were unlucky to run into a few expert players."

You should also try to save your own life.

After saying that, San San continued searching for something.

"Jin Shu, have you seen the black box I put under the bed?"

"Yes, it contains the game map. I've taken it out."

"Where is it? Let me see, let me see where I can hide."

With his last life at stake, San San was extremely cautious.

She knew that an NPC would disappear forever after dying five times. Her senior had taught her a method: when she was about to die for the fifth time, she would jump out of the map and go to a hospital on the second map. The hospital had doctors who specialized in treating NPCs.

If you go there, you might be able to save your life.

After listening to San San's words, Jin Shu looked at her silently.

Are you sure the other person isn't lying to you?

"Fine, I'll lie to you. Since I'm going to die anyway, I'd still like to give it a try. What if it works?"

"Come with me then. You're smarter than me; you might be able to find that hospital."

Jin Shu didn't speak, but after thinking for a while, she finally told San San.

"The fire was too big, and the map was burned."

The game seems to be able to refresh the scene, but it can't refresh some details within the scene.

For example, the box under the bed is not part of the designer's design, so it does not belong to the refreshed content.

Jin Shu managed to save some precious documents at great personal risk, but she was burned to death while protecting these irreplaceable items.

After a while, San San realized what was happening and sat on the bed with a look of dejection. Her pale face, combined with the terrifying makeup, actually gave her a pitiful yet comical appearance.

She wiped her face.

"Oh well, this is our fate."

I should have known long ago.

NPCs all die. Where they come from and where they go after they die are all pre-arranged.

San San is in a daze.

Jin Shu didn't say much. She sat down at the table, opened the book, and continued reading from the previous day's content.

"What are you still looking at? What good will it do you to just look for a little while?"

"It will be useful once you see it."

"I really admire you. You can stay so calm even with only one life left. Sigh... never mind, I can't sleep either, I'll watch it with you."

San San sat down next to Jin Shu.

Jin Shu wasn't comfortable with this kind of close contact, so she moved away slightly and handed over a notebook.

"This is what I've compiled, take a look."

San San casually flipped through the notebook, and after seeing the contents, a look of surprise appeared on her miserable face.

"What is this? The questions inside seem familiar."

"I've compiled the materials you gave me. There are patterns in them; all the questions are variations on the same theme. You just need to memorize these questions in the notebook."

The game design still has flaws.

Considering the players' intelligence and the game's stability, all questions are drawn from a question bank.

The question bank was hidden under the beds in the mental hospital.

Jin Shu studied it for a long time, discovered the pattern and summarized it, and finally categorized the question types into several categories and copied them into her notebook.

San San was half-believing and half-doubting.

But seeing Jin Shu's calm eyes and unquestionable tone, she nodded.

"Actually, we are not weak in combat, but we are always not as smart as the players. I died four times, and three of them were because I failed to answer the questions and was killed."

"Then watch carefully and learn well."

NPCs don't get tired or hungry. Even if you're just a kid, if you try hard and memorize things, you can memorize everything in the notebook in one night.

That day, instead of lying in bed in a daze as before, San San lay prone in front of the table, muttering to herself as she memorized.

As night fell, Jin Shu felt the room fall silent instantly.

She knew that her time to be alone had come.

With the loophole in answering the questions resolved, Jin Shu didn't spend any more time studying tonight. Instead, she packed her bag and left the mental hospital.

First, they went to the second level and extracted more mechanical fluid. Just as they were about to leave, Jin Shu discovered a player who had died in the backyard.

This player was clearly playing alone; he hadn't expected the zombie dogs in the backyard to be released, so he died right after entering the second level.

He left a bag, and Jin Shu found many strange little gadgets inside.

Among them was a chip the size of a fingernail. Jin Shu held it in her hand, and in an instant, an enormous warehouse appeared before her eyes. The space inside was larger than an entire mental hospital, incredibly spacious and empty.

In the corner of the warehouse, there were many square boxes piled up, with the word "TNT" marked on them.

Jin Shu recognized the letter; it seemed to represent something like a bomb.

Besides these, there were also many firearms and ammunition inside, with various models and categories that dazzled Jin Shu.
