Chapter 112 Eternal Night Hospital (Part 4)

Since coming to this hellhole of a world of ghost stories, even the not-so-soft hospital bed has become comfortable.

Lying on the hospital bed, it seemed as if the monotonous, boring but peaceful days of the past had returned.

She closed her eyes and breathed rhythmically, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, and then the stupid thief would come to her door.

None of the three people downstairs could convince anyone else, and they left unhappily.

Yu Hongjun became angrier the more he thought about it. He got up from the bed, picked up his weapon and went to the third floor.

He came to the third floor, looked around, lowered his steps, and tiptoed towards 309. The guilty expression on his face did not seem like he was here to attack, but rather to have an affair.

He gently turned the doorknob, and after a very slight creaking sound, the door opened. Yu Hongjun was delighted. The door was not locked. This prey was not as fierce as the doctor said.

There was no one inside, there was no furniture in the ward, and even the curtains had disappeared in the melee, so there was no place to hide.

Yu Hongbing was very sure that Ren Qingzhi had been staying in the room and had never come out, so where did he go?

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yu Hongbing shivered unconsciously.

“Tick-tock—”

A drop of liquid suddenly appeared at Yu Hongbing's feet. He subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, his eyes suddenly widened: "Ah——"

Yu Hongjun was sucked into the door.

Then with a bang, the door of Room 309 closed, the screaming stopped abruptly, a gust of wind blew, and the corridor on the third floor returned to silence again.

On the first floor, Xu Min was maintaining her weapons. A blacksmith must be strong himself, and it is better to rely on herself than on predictions. She gave up literature and turned to martial arts.

"La la la la~" I hummed a little tune and felt so comfortable.

After some work, the blade became sharp and bright, clearly illuminating Xu Min's face and the ghost behind her.

Xu Min: “!!!”

He rolled forward and slashed backward with his knife-holding hand.

The move was crisp and clear, but she missed.

Turning around, there was nothing where the ghost was.

Blurred? This thought flashed through his mind, but Xu Min did not put the knife away. Instead, he looked around vigilantly.

Nothing unusual.

Suddenly, her ears moved slightly and her heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong. It was too quiet, even the sound of the wind had disappeared.

After realizing this, Xu Min felt that the room was full of danger.

Hold the knife horizontally in front of you, move to the wall, lean your back against the wall and stay alert.

Suddenly a scream was heard. It was Yu Hongbing!

The voice was upstairs. Damn it, he wouldn't really attack Ren Qingzhi, would he? I've already said that the three of them couldn't beat that guy together.

But I couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so I leaned against the wall and moved towards the door bit by bit.

The moment the door opened, there was a sound of breaking air from the left rear. Xu Min tried to block it, but she was a step too slow.

I felt a pain at the back of my head and before I passed out, a thought subconsciously flashed through my mind: this body is too weak!

When she woke up again, she was already in mid-air, hanging upside down by a rope hanging from the ceiling, and next to her was the stupid teammate who had caused her to fall into this situation.

Xu Min stared at Yu Hongjun who was stuck to the ceiling again and again, and finally confirmed that the guy lying upside down on the ceiling was not unconscious, but asleep.

Xu Min: “…”

She had been kind-hearted and would definitely cut off his head if she could escape alive.

His hands were also tied, and Xu Min bent his body and tried to touch the rope on his feet.

“Boom boom boom—”

Footsteps were heard, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects being dragged, and someone was approaching the room where Xu Min and Yu Hongjun were.

The footsteps stopped and the door opened with a creak. Before that, Xu Min quickly closed his eyes and pretended that he was still unconscious.

Bai Tao threw the last prey to the floor: "Now that you're awake, stop pretending."

Xu Min didn't move. The locust pupa in the sack on the ground started to pupate: "Mmmm..." Let me out, let me out, Sister Xu, help, help!

Xu Min: Very good, we caught them all in one fell swoop.

Xu Min heard humming, the same song she had hummed before. In addition to the singing, there was also the sound of sharpening a knife, her knife!

Bai Tao: "Nice knife, perfect for slicing meat. Which one should I start with?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Bai Tao noticed that the minds of the three people in front of her became more active and more human.

The blade was across Xu Min's neck. Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Xu Min had to open his eyes and said as if he had just woken up: "Qingzhi, why are you here? Am I sleepwalking? You know, as I get older, I develop this problem without realizing it."

Xu Min's eyes never left Bai Tao. She keenly noticed that after hearing what she said, Bai Tao's face showed no expression at all. It was obvious that pretending to be crazy and stupid could not impress her.

Then try another approach.

She seemed to have just realized that she was in a bad situation. She swung around in the air, staring at the blade in Bai Tao's hand. "Qing Zhi, are you going to return the knife I stabbed you with?"

"The prophecy is correct. You will eventually attack us."

Bai Tao raised her eyebrows. The person opposite her had the memories of the person she was playing. If it was the Bai Tao of the past, it would be possible for him to survive in her hands.

but--

"Miss Fake," Bai Tao shook her head, "Your acting is so poor."

While thinking about what to do next, Xu Min suddenly heard the word "fake": "???"

Seeing Xu Min was shocked and suspicious, the regular breathing of the two guys under his feet and on the ceiling became uncoordinated.

Bai Tao just wants these three guys to doubt their true identities.

He lifted Xu Min's chin with the tip of the knife and said, "Tell me, where did you take Xu Min, Yu Hongjun and Doctor He?"

Xu Min felt as if his heart had been struck, and even the life-and-death crisis in front of him was thrown to the back of his mind. He couldn't help but ask: "Qing Zhi, why do you say that? Who else could I be if not Xu Min?"

She subconsciously stared at Bai Tao, her eyes hiding a desire that she herself had not yet realized.

Bai Tao deliberately sneered: "You said it was you, Xu Min, then what about your ability to predict the future? Why didn't you predict that you would be hung from the ceiling?"

"Sister Xu is just an ordinary middle-aged woman, she doesn't have such agile skills as you. Brother Yu, do you still remember your wife and children? And Doctor He..."

Bai Tao's words were truly emotional. The dead are gone. Human players who died in the dungeon still have a chance to come back to life in the world of ghost stories, but for these guys who traveled through time, once dead, they are dead. Only phantoms tell of their past.

Bai Tao asked: "You are not Xu Min, who are you?"

Xu Min seemed to be hit by a wake-up call, and all the neglected inconsistencies emerged one by one. Ren Qingzhi was right, she was not Xu Min, she was -

My thoughts are in a mess. If she is not Xu Min, then who is she?

No matter how Xu Min recalled, her brain kept telling her that she was Xu Min, but, but she was not Xu Min, who was she?

She had no clue and just felt a splitting headache, as if something deep in her mind was blocking her memory.

Cracks appeared on Xu Min's body, a sign that the previous illusion was about to be shattered.

Bai Tao: "After thinking for so long, do you even forget who you are?"

Bai Tao's words interrupted Xu Min's thoughts. She looked up suddenly and asked, "You know?"

Bai Tao spread her hands: "I don't know, but you should know that you are not 'Xu Min'." She said meaningfully.

He threw the knife in his hand away, and his expression changed from gloomy to cheerful: "Then let's play a game of who am I?"

'Xu Min' who has been paying attention to Bai Tao: "......" Your expression changes too quickly.

Pretending to be innocent, he tilted his head: "Want to play t?" A dangerous look flashed across Xu Min's head.

'Xu Min' smiled subconsciously and immediately answered with certainty: "Play, I also really want to know who I am." He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, he would be scolded.

Bai Tao shifted his gaze to the other two guys pretending to be dead: "Where are you two?"

No longer daring to play dead, he immediately replied: "Play/Um (play)~"

What can you do if you meet a psychopath/pervert/big boss who you can't defeat?

After regaining their freedom, the three of them looked at each other. Who's going to go up? You go up/You go up/You go up.

Dr. He: "Actually, I really want to know who I am."

The other two: “That’s right.” It’s definitely not that they can’t beat her.

Bai Tao ignored the small drama of the three people behind her and looked up at the sky, wondering whether He was satisfied with her performance.

Anyway, Bai Tao felt it was okay. After all, she had been so moody during this period in the past. As long as it was in line with her character, even if Bai Tao took the NPCs from the inpatient department to the emergency center, she would not notice anything unusual.

After all, she had run from the inpatient department to the emergency center in the past, so it was logical for the survivors in the fantasy copy to explore outside.

Then——

“Depart immediately!”

The three of them looked at each other, and seeing Bai Tao's smile, they pushed Yu Hongbing out and said, "We need some time to pack."

Bai Tao asked with a smile on her face, "Do you want to prepare food?"

Thinking about what the so-called food was, the three of them felt a little nauseous for a moment.

Dr. He covered his mouth with his hands and silently told himself that all memories were fake before he suppressed his nausea.

Bai Tao: "Don't worry, I have prepared food for you."

They eat whatever hungry ghosts eat, and they will never starve to death.

&&&

I don't know how long it took, but the amnesiac trio burst into tears as they looked at the sign of the emergency center building not far away. They finally arrived, and they no longer had to eat dirt QAQ

Bai Tao was also looking at the sign. The illusion copy and the real emergency center overlapped. His power here was exceptionally strong, and the breath of life inside was exceptionally strong, as if all living creatures in this place had gathered here.

"Do we really want to go in?" The three amnesiacs looked at Bai Tao at the same time, and the same thought emerged in their minds: there is great danger here.

Just standing outside, I felt creepy. The sense of crisis was even stronger than when facing Bai Tao.

As they were talking, a short man dressed as a doctor sitting in the security office noticed Bai Tao and the other three and said, "There are new people here, four new people, that's quite a lot."

He muttered as he walked out of the security office and greeted Bai Tao and the others: "Welcome everyone to the only refuge in the wasteland - the Eternal Night Hospital."

“You guys—” After finding that the four people were not in a mess, he swallowed the word “safe”, “You can have a good rest, as long as you follow the rules.”

Having said this, he waited for people to ask questions.

Xu Min followed up his question and asked: "Rules?"

The short doctor raised his head and said, "That's right. You can only enter the hospital if you follow the rules."

A mouth appeared on the hospital gate: "Admit it, otherwise, get out~"

These talking, living objects made Xu Min and the other two feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. The inpatient department became a cannibalistic paradise, and these objects played a big role.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The short doctor stood in front of the door and said, "Relax, relax. The objects in the Evernight Hospital are different. They are the Queen's subordinates. This hospital is the Queen's territory. As long as you follow the Queen's rules, everyone can live in the Evernight Hospital."

"The objects are the Queen's loyal guards. To attack them is to challenge the Queen's authority."

Xu Min continued to ask: "What are the rules of Yongye Hospital?"

The short doctor: "Queen, that's the rule of Evernight Hospital."

"Of course, there are some specific rules. First, you must show absolute respect to the Queen and her lover! Second..."

Queen? Bai Tao always has a bad feeling. The phantom copy distorted Bai Tao's memory. Her power is particularly strong here. So this queen should not be her, but a fictional one? Right?

The short doctor stopped introducing the rules and turned around and knelt down.

Not far away, a DIY sedan was traveling, with a man and a woman sitting inside, Bi Xin and Yu Ze, who had the faces of Ren Qingzhi and Zhu Yuzhi respectively.
