Chapter 230 [(*^▽^*)]
As darkness fell, Lin Leyou didn't go to the cafeteria for dinner. Instead, he asked the security guard to bring him a meal, and after eating, he continued working.
The time it took to finish the work was about the same as he had predicted, around 8 p.m., which was pretty accurate.
Lin Leyou stretched and cleared all traces from the computer. Then he put his phone in his pocket. This was a mission item, and there was absolutely no way he could put it in his backpack.
Otherwise, no matter how skilled a player is, they won't be able to obtain this item.
Lin Leyou stood up, rubbed his lower back, still feeling very tired, and said, "I've been sitting for so long, let's go out for a walk."
He walked to the door and opened his office door. To his utter surprise, there was someone standing in the hallway outside, reaching out his hand towards the doorknob of his office door. Was he planning to open the door and come in?
Didn't they know there were people inside?
Lin Leyou quickly regained his composure and said nothing. He simply took out his two scalpels and slashed at the man.
As it turned out, this person reacted quickly. Aside from being stunned at the beginning, he was quite agile afterward, swiftly dodging Lin Leyou's attacks.
Even though Lin Leyou had been tortured by Qin Xingyu for so long, he couldn't do anything to him for the time being. This guy was too good at dodging!
Moreover, he was so focused on escaping that Lin Leyou was unable to catch up. There were no lights on outside, and the person was dressed in all black and wearing a mask. He escaped in no time.
Lin Leyou stood there, catching his breath. "Impressive..."
This player must be a pro, and it's not Xue Rui. If it were Xue Rui, he would definitely be able to tell. It's just strange that this player is so skilled, how could he just force his way into his office?
Shouldn't we make sure no one is inside before saying anything?
How strange!
Xue Rui turned around and went back to his office, only to find it in a mess. Hmm?
Good heavens, this is a diversionary tactic!
So you're luring the boss away so the other players can search your office? Well, what did you find?
Lin Leyou looked at his empty desktop. Good, the laptop was taken away. He had just turned it off. When they took it, the laptop was probably still warm.
Unfortunately, the important thing isn't the computer, but the mobile phone in my hand.
He called and had another laptop delivered to him. He couldn't do without it; he needed a computer to handle his work these past few days. Although he could do it on his phone, constantly looking down at his phone would be suspicious for someone of his status.
Not long after, someone delivered a laptop. He took it and put it back on his desk, planning to use it the next day. As for the one that had been taken earlier... he didn't need to worry about it.
Lin Leyou left the office building to inspect the hospital. This time, he was followed by two security guards. Their uniforms were different from the ones he had seen before, so they must have been two security captains.
"Get someone to tidy up my office; it's been ransacked again."
"Okay, Vice Dean."
Lin Leyou didn't wait for someone else to clean up the mess. Instead, he led the two of them straight away to inspect various parts of the hospital.
The first thing he did was to patrol the building. He could even sense that whenever he came to a place, the people there would become very obedient and docile.
Some people didn't even dare to look up at him. Those who didn't dare to look at him were the ones with problems. Those who dared to look at him weren't necessarily all without problems, but most of them were fine because they didn't know the darkness of the hospital. They just thought it was the vice president taking a casual stroll and even smiled at Lin Leyou in a friendly manner.
Lin Leyou paid more attention to those who avoided him, and those who kept their heads down, afraid that their eyes would give them away.
However, he didn't do anything. He just took a walk around as usual and left. As long as no one attacked him, he wouldn't do anything else.
After all, there are just too many people lurking in this hospital who are hostile to it. Not counting the players, there must be quite a few NPCs alone!
Lin Leyou, intrigued, asked the system, "How many players are left?"
"System notification: There are 11 players remaining."
Lin Leyou blinked. It was only the second night, how come there were only 11 players left? Nine of them had died? But thinking about it, it made sense. There were quite a few who had died right in front of him.
I wonder what Xue Rui is doing now.
When he was making his rounds, he passed by Xue Rui's ward and casually glanced inside. He found Xue Rui lying on the bed, asleep with his eyes closed.
He didn't slow down as he passed by; he just glanced inside through the glass in the door and didn't stop, but continued walking forward.
No one noticed that Lin Leyou had made any underhanded moves.
After leaving the inpatient department, Lin Leyou did not go straight back to rest this time. Instead, he went to the lakeside, took a walk around there, and then returned to the hospital gate.
"Alright, that concludes today's inspection. You can go back to your work."
He probably slept during the day, so even though it was past midnight, Lin Leyou wasn't sleepy at all after finishing his patrol. After seeing off the two security captains behind him, he took out his phone to send a message to Xue Rui.
Lin Leyou: "What are you doing?"
Xue Rui replied instantly, "I'm resting."
Lin Leyou recalled seeing him lying on the bed when she passed by earlier. "Oh, I see."
Xue Rui: "I saw you pass by just now."
Lin Leyou replied with a smile, "When I saw you, your eyes were clearly closed."
Xue Rui, "I saw your back, and you were gone in the blink of an eye."
Lin Leyou: "Really? I didn't notice that."
Xue Rui, "I want to take a walk with Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou, "If you dare to take a walk with me, you'll be put on the assassination list by all the players and NPCs hostile to the hospital."
Xue Rui sighed, "I knew it, never mind then..."
Lin Leyou said, "It's not impossible. You can stay until the end after you clear the dungeon, and I'll accompany you then."
Xue Rui smiled, "Then it's settled."
Neither of them mentioned escaping from the hospital; it was a matter of whether Xue Rui could escape or Lin Leyou could stop him.
Lin Leyou: "It's a deal."
Both of them tacitly put their phones away, pretending that nothing had happened. As for whether they would end up taking a walk together, that would depend on who won in the end.
After putting away his phone, Lin Leyou walked towards his lounge. He wanted to go back, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep. He hadn't felt sleepy before, but after talking to Xue Rui, he suddenly felt sleepy, and he didn't know why.
After putting away his phone, Xue Rui didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he lay quietly on the bed and waited. Over the next hour, footsteps passed by outside repeatedly, with short intervals between each visit, as if someone was patrolling and checking the rooms.
In that case, I can't leave the ward at will. If it's discovered that he's not resting in the ward late at night and I don't know where he went, that would definitely not be a good thing for me.
Xue Rui took a deep breath, turned over and lay on his side facing the wall with his back to the ward door, ignoring the people walking back and forth outside.
The footsteps outside stopped around 1 a.m., as if they had stopped checking the rooms.
What's going on today? It never came like this last night. Could it be that I had an accident today?
you do not say!
Xue Rui quickly thought of the Sichuan peppercorns he had encountered during the day. Could it be Sichuan peppercorns?
After all, he had told her that there might be an underground floor below the inpatient department, so maybe she found other players to investigate.
That's why there are so many nurses and doctors patrolling outside tonight!
And you know what? Xue Rui actually guessed right!
After breaking up with Xue Rui, Hua Jiao stole a nurse's uniform and a white coat. Although it looked strange, she couldn't complain because she had no clothes to wear at the moment.
Fortunately, the weather was nice, and after washing her clothes a little, she put them on the rooftop to dry in the sun and wind, and they were dry before dark.
After changing into her own clothes, Huajiao started looking for the players she had met before. There were three in total, and with her, that made four. Although this number was not very lucky, they couldn't find a fifth one in a short time, and they couldn't lose one because of it, so they decided to go together as a group of four.
The underground floor was indeed found, but getting in was easy, getting out was difficult!
After finally managing to infiltrate the area using props, they discovered a large amount of evidence, but they ran into trouble when it came time to leave because they had no way to get out.
They came in with other doctors, but when they wanted to leave, no one came out, so they had to wait there.
They managed to catch the person and used the prop to hide in the person's shadow to try and escape. But somehow, the prop had a limited time or a limited number of uses, and they were discovered just as they were about to get away!
Xue Rui sensed people pacing back and forth outside. It was because security guards and nurses were trying to catch Huajiao and the others. Luckily, three players escaped, including Huajiao, while the remaining player was caught.
The players who were caught were killed on the spot, and now only ten players are still alive.
We still can't find Huajiao and the others, and the hospital can't do anything about it either. We can't stay on high alert forever, can we? Since we can't find them no matter what we do, let's just give up.
As long as we guard the hospital and prevent them from leaving, that's fine. Besides, the underground floors are built according to the model above. The wards downstairs are single rooms, and although they are for patients, the decoration is done like a luxurious single room.
So even if they are discovered and photographed, it doesn't matter. They just need to say that it's a private room, since they haven't done anything wrong anyway.
