Chapter 255 He Wants to Go Home
Zhong Mu huddled behind the door trembling, thinking about taking out a weapon from his pocket to give himself courage.
As long as he ignores these things like Brother Xiu and goes through the dungeon process calmly, there will be no problem. He can do it too!
After taking a deep breath, Zhong Mu stood up tremblingly, holding the small dagger, and opened the door of the ward. The bloody corridor was dripping with bright red marks, and a dark shadow monster was crawling on the ground in a twisted posture.
As soon as the monster heard the sound of Zhong Mu opening the door, it turned its head suddenly, showing a sinister smile, and crawled over quickly using its hands and feet.
Zhong Mu tried hard to suppress the urge to rush back to his room. He held the knife tightly in his sleeve and stepped into the corridor tremblingly.
When he stepped on it, the soft concave ground felt like he was stepping on flesh, and Zhong Mu was so scared that his face turned pale.
The monster next to him grabbed his ankle and climbed onto Zhong Mu using his hands and feet.
Zhong Mu was in tears and waved his hands frantically to chase the monster away, but he couldn't catch it. He could only drag the monster with one foot and step on the soft floor as he started walking towards the cafeteria. With each step, he sank the monster crawling on the ground and climbed onto his back. The sticky and cold touch gave him goose bumps all over his back.
Woohoo!! He wants to go home so badly!!!
With a pale face, Zhong Mu walked gloomily and joined other players who were also going to the cafeteria.
He discovered that there was a monster lying on each player, but those players seemed to have their perceptions blocked. They did not react to the monsters hanging on their bodies, and were still chatting normally without knowing it.
"I've been wandering around for two days now. I've walked through the entire psychiatric ward, but I don't see any exits. They say we need to escape from the mental hospital, but how do we do that?"
"I don't know either. It feels like the only place you can leave the entire mental treatment area is the insane ward. But isn't the insane ward a more dangerous place? My scalp tingles just looking at it through the iron bars."
"Yeah, yeah, it's a bloody mess. I don't want to go there at all." Several players sighed. After touring the place, they had no idea what to do. They could only follow the procedures of the treatment area like a patient, resting freely, taking medicine, and eating.
Perhaps because Zhong Mu was staring at them intently, several players turned their heads and noticed his pale face. They couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhong Mu shook his head silently, staring at the monster that was biting them with a complicated expression, and his face was completely pale.
The monsters crawling on them were clearly gnawing at their scalps, but these players showed no reaction at all, which made him shudder.
When Brother Xiu was around, he would kick away all the monsters around him. He himself had only just reached the second level of symptoms, and except for going out to look for an exit, he stayed in the ward and didn't notice anything. He had just had a close contact with a monster and visited the mental hospital with the second level of symptoms, only then did he realize how terrifying this place was.
Will the monster in my body start to eat me if I stay there for too long?
Zhong Mu shuddered, and quickly pretended to stretch, trying hard to drive away the monster on his body and threw it to the ground.
But as soon as one rolled down, another would immediately crawl up. The entire hospital was filled with these crawling black shadow monsters, and there was no way to dodge them.
Zhong Mu was in tears and followed the group of players into the cafeteria with his shoulders drooped.
As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria door, Zhong Mu froze there for a moment, not wanting to step in at all.
What were those disgusting, distorted, and terrifying patterns on the floor? What were those blurry, moving figures? No... The most terrifying thing was that among the players with monsters crawling all over them, some were seriously injured and had half their heads gnawed off.
But the player still didn't notice the monster's existence and was still chatting with his companions calmly. He didn't even notice that one of his eyes had rolled down.
Zhong Mu slowly took two steps back, not wanting to go in at all. Is this where he usually eats? !
This hospital is so scary! He took the medicine before and didn't even notice it!
"Aren't you going in?" Zhong Mu took a step back and bumped into the player behind him, who stared at him in confusion.
"No...you go in...I'm not hungry yet..." Zhong Mu swallowed, and seeing the player's appearance, he respectfully stepped aside.
"You look so bad, you have to eat well. I can't skip a meal, so I have to come to the cafeteria on time to eat. I feel like I'm getting starving after coming to this dungeon." The player scratched his empty brain, sighed, and then walked past Zhong Mu and went in.
Zhong Mu met the gaze of the huge monster lying on the player without blinking, and tears suddenly fell.
How can someone eat their brain and still eat normally? It’s so scary! He misses Brother Xiu so much!
Zhong Mu quickly left the cafeteria and went to a deserted place. As soon as he left the crowd, he immediately pulled out a knife from his sleeve and drove away the monster on his body, fearing that the monster would bite him if he stayed there for too long. He didn't want to be like those players who were bitten to death without even noticing.
"Don't come over here!" He vigorously waved the knife in his hand to drive away the monsters that kept approaching him, tears welling up in his eyes. He was really afraid of non-human creatures! !
Looking at the twisted black shadow monsters that were getting closer and closer, Zhong Mu turned around and ran away. He was so eager to get the fourth level symptoms and leave here to see Brother Xiu.
After seeing the other players, he was completely certain that taking medicine and staying here would definitely lead to death. Although leaving the mental treatment area due to level 4 symptoms was also a risky move, it was better than staying here, and he didn't mind taking the risk.
Zhong Mu is now holding a knife and going to find the nurse aggressively. If he kills a staff member, he will be immediately judged as level four. It is better to go to the insane area and stay with Brother Xiu to find a way out together than to wait for death here!
As soon as he walked to the front desk, he saw that the nurse who looked extremely gentle and amiable from a normal perspective was now a bloody human figure with holes all over her body, and blood was constantly oozing out. He was so shocked that he stopped in his tracks.
Where's that nurse who used to feed patients medicine so gently?! How did she turn into such a monster?!
The nurse noticed him and turned back with a sinister smile, "How can I help you?"
When she smiled, the corners of her mouth drooped softly, and her expression became extremely distorted.
Zhong Mu turned around and ran away decisively.
Forget it! This nurse looks strong! I'd better find a weakling to pick on!
As he was running, Zhong Mu passed by the iron fence that separated the insane ward and suddenly stopped.
How come under the second-level symptoms, the mental treatment area becomes so scary, but the insane area becomes normal?
Brother Xiu's playing style is really correct. Different information can be obtained from the two perspectives.
Only after taking medicine and now that he is ill can he notice some unusual things in the copy.
Zhong Mu stared at the insane area thoughtfully. If he visited the place he had visited before from the perspective of taking medicine, would he see something different if he visited it again from the perspective of an illness?
After all, in the entire mental treatment area, there are many players who have taken medicine and are constantly looking for an exit every day but have found nothing.
Perhaps only those who are sick can see the true path.
