Chapter 16 Ward 2



"Are they... in pain?" Su Jing looked at A in shock.

The realism of "IF" is close to 100%. Even the mimetic NPCs responsible for promoting the plot have the same sense of pain as normal people.

In the Gangan Village dungeon, the mimic NPC that was killed by the one who obeyed me would cry, show fear, and beg for mercy.

The mimic NPCs in the hospital instance look like zombies whose souls have been sucked out.

"They feel pain, look over there." A gestured to Su Jing to look into the elevator.

There was still one person left in the elevator. He had just been pushed to the bottom by other passengers and his thigh was broken in the chaos.

His thigh did not completely liquefy, and the thigh bone remained.

The broken bones pierced the skin and were exposed to the air with blood, which was a very tragic sight.

He rolled on the ground holding his broken thigh, his expression extremely painful.

After a few minutes, when the patient had adjusted to the pain, he struggled to crawl out of the elevator with the medical record in his mouth.

His fingers clung tightly to the marble tiles, leaving several blood marks on the smooth marble floor.

Su Jing took half a step forward and wanted to help him up, but A stopped him.

"It's useless. He doesn't need your help."

Su Jian was puzzled, "Why?"

"The reason why I had to fight my hardest to squeeze into the elevator is the same as theirs. Compared to physical pain, hospital patients care more about the order in which doctors treat them."

Even if the doctor keeps telling you to "drink more hot water" and uses glucose and yeast tablets as placebos.

But the patients in the hospital still worship doctors as gods and think they will die if they don’t get treatment from them.

Su Jing watched the person on the ground crawl out of the doctor's office, and suddenly became energetic and regained consciousness, expressing his incomprehension.

Uh, respect blessing lock.

"Let's analyze the clues. I just triggered the system prompt." Su Qi opened the bracelet and shared the prompt with A.

[Clues: 1. Full name of hospital, 2. Intensive care unit, 3. Medical records.]

【Tip: Please use the clues in order, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk.】

"The full name of the hospital?" A stared at Su Jing's control panel with cold eyes.

It was not until the fourth day of entering the dungeon that he realized that he had searched every corner since entering the dungeon, but had not seen a place with the full name of the hospital written on it.

A originally thought that it was an oversight by the IF system and that it forgot to name the hospital.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a clue.

The level of detail in this game is even higher than you might imagine.

"When I went downstairs just now, I noticed that the hospital's full name never appeared on any of the hospital's signs, patient medical records, or in their conversations." Su Qiong pondered, "The full name must hold some clues."

I remember that in the previous copy, the name of Sun Moon River was used over and over again.

Until he left the dungeon, Su Jian was not sure what the river was called.

"Well, in order, let's find the full name of the hospital first."

Su Qiong was confused. "How do we find it? Since the system specifically reminded us, it means the full name cannot be easily found."

A has already thought of a solution, "Since I can't find it, I'll ask others."

"Huh?"

——It seems like you have no way to ask this from other people.

Do you want to count on me?

Su Jing understood the hint and obediently stretched out his hand to stop the patient who walked in from outside the hospital.

"hello!"

Before he could finish his greeting, the other party completely ignored Su Jian and walked straight forward, almost knocking down the weak and unable to take care of himself Marshmallow.

The other person's face was calm, and he seemed unaware that he had bumped into someone.

A grabbed Su Jian, who was about to drift away, and said, "Oh, it's true."

"You guessed it a long time ago? Then why did you let me try!"

"I didn't ask you to try, you rushed over on your own." A made a scumbag statement.

"..." Su Jing was a little angry and decided to unilaterally isolate him for five seconds.

A ignored the grumpy marshmallow and continued, "Actually, there is a way to make others notice us."

Su Qi immediately forgot his anger and asked anxiously, "What method? Is it risky?"

"Not high." A flexed his fingers and replied casually, "I might die."

Su Jing: ???

——The risk is not high!

Just as Su Jing was about to say something, A clenched his fist and smashed it hard against the water dispenser in the middle of the outpatient hall.

Drinking water gushed out, accompanied by angry roars, screams and roars.

"Ah! Our water!"

The patients who loved water rushed over and scratched around with their fingers, trying to save the drinking water on the ground.

When they found that they couldn't catch the remaining water, their expressions became even more horrified. Some people just lay on the ground and licked it like crazy like dogs.

More people pointed their fingers at A and angrily accused him.

"Are you crazy? Look what you've done!"

"Security? Where's the security? Arrest him!"

The hospital copy has some restrictions on players, and they cannot use superpowers and weapons during the day.

This hospital regards water as its most important resource. During its construction, it used the same steel bars as prisons and glass as banks to ensure that the drinking fountains were as solid as a wall of steel.

If ordinary humans want to dismantle the drinking fountain, they will only kill 0.1% of the enemy and lose 800 of their own.

A is definitely not an ordinary human being. He easily broke the drinking fountain and only scratched the back of his hand.

As he retracted his fist, the alarm in the hospital sounded immediately.

In a blink of an eye, dozens of burly men in green clothes and red armbands ran up to them from all directions and surrounded the two men.

"Target found, target found!" The security captain with an armband shouted into the walkie-talkie in his hand.

A hysterical roar came from the intercom: "The patient's condition has worsened, take him to Treatment Room No. 2 immediately!"

"Got it!" The security captain waved his hand, and dozens of people in green clothes trapped A and Su Jing, forcing them to walk to a corner on the first floor.

Su Qiong: "Wait, how did they notice you?"

"Here." A pulled a copy of the test paper from his pocket and gestured to him to look at one of the supplementary rules: [You must abide by hospital rules during the day. If you violate any rules, you must receive treatment from the attending physician.]

[Note: This treatment method is extreme and may cause the player's death. This is a real-life instance, and death means failure to clear the instance.]

"Another real-life dungeon." Su Qiong muttered weakly, "Real-life dungeons are becoming more and more unrealistic. Is there something wrong with the judgment criteria of the "IF" system?"

"Even if there is a problem, what can we do about it?" A disagreed and put away the test paper.

Dozens of security guards escorted A, and they did not take the elevator or the stairs, but climbed to the second floor through the secret vertical passage of the security room.

The secret passage is narrow and dark, but it is the driest and most ventilated place in the entire hospital.

Even though Su Jing's sensory abilities were limited, he could feel that other parts of the hospital were damp, making Marshmallow feel very uncomfortable and about to shrink.

The passage is about half a meter wide and can only accommodate one adult.

There was no light inside, and gusts of cold wind rushed in from above and below, blowing the candlestick into disarray.

Su Jian grabbed the handle used for climbing and analyzed seriously in the wind, "I think this secret passage can lead upstairs. Maybe there are clues to the fifth floor hidden in it!"

A: "You will be disappointed. There are no clues inside. I came here once before and found that this passage can only lead to Treatment Room No. 2, which is the hospital's—"

"Punishment room."

As soon as they finished speaking, they came out of the passage and were led by the security captain to a room that emitted a strange aura.

Treatment Room No. 2 was different from the other treatment rooms. The door was thick black, and strange electronic prompts could be heard from inside, emitting a cold, dead air.

Su Jing was sure that he did not see this room when he passed by the second floor just now.

The security captain pushed open the door, threw A in, and slammed the door shut.

"Click—" The treatment room was locked from the outside.

Su Jing took advantage of his weak presence in the dungeon and took the opportunity to sneak into the treatment room.

There was only one doctor and two nurses in the treatment room. His body was semi-liquid, his face was slowly flowing under the dim light, and his facial features were stretched out.

They had all sorts of surgical instruments on hand, and next to them was a three-tiered shelf filled with bottles and jars.

The area around the bed is filled with modified treatment equipment.

For example, a pacemaker with three times the power, a hemodialysis machine that draws blood from the entire body in a shorter time, a defibrillator that is converted into an electric shock device, and so on.

A stepped into Treatment Room No. 2 again, his eyes dark, recalling some not-so-pleasant experiences.

The doctor locked his eyes with A and ordered, "Lie down. I'm going to treat you now."

"What's the name of this hospital?" A asked straight to the point.

"You've started talking nonsense. It seems your condition is more serious than I thought. You must receive immediate treatment." The doctor forced a twisted smile. "Don't worry, I will definitely cure you."

A asked again, "If I cooperate with the treatment, will you answer my questions?"

The doctor did not answer. He and the nurse turned their backs to them and prepared the treatment tools on their own.

The doctor drew the strange purple liquid into the syringe and murmured softly, "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm sorry, I can only understand healthy patients."

A understood his hint and was about to go over and lie down.

"Hey." Su Qi pulled him back and asked softly, "You've been here before. Is the treatment painful?"

A subconsciously prepared to answer "It doesn't hurt".

He had no family or friends, and was trained as a soldier. Over time, A became an indestructible weapon, and his human qualities were gradually stripped away.

Stay awake all night, endure the pain, and avoid showing any vulnerable side.

It was not until this moment that A vaguely realized it.

He didn't cry out in pain before, probably because no one had ever asked him, "Does it hurt?"

“…Yes.” A answered honestly.

Although it's useless to say it out loud——

"Then take off your hospital gown and let's switch." Su Qiong secretly glanced at the doctor who was preparing the medicine with his back to him and urged in a low voice, "I have a mimic cloak. As long as it is infected with your scent, I can deceive the mimic NPC."

A hesitated a little, "The treatment is very dangerous, you..."

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Su Jing wrapped himself in the camouflage cloak, forcibly stripped off his hospital gown, and put it on himself randomly.

After changing his clothes, Su Qiong puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I don't feel any pain because I haven't exchanged the pain."

Before A could express his opinion, Su Jing noticed that the doctor was about to turn around, so he raised his leg without thinking and kicked him.

A, the most powerful humanoid weapon in the human world, was kicked away by a marshmallow.

It's so embarrassing.

The doctor came to the bedside and found nothing unusual.

He asked the nurse to lift Su Jian's arm and inject him with purple medicine.

The medicine seeped into the bandage, and Su Jing only felt a little wet inside.

He has no body and cannot absorb anything.

The liquid injected into the '□□' can be taken out in its original form.

The doctor picked up the patches of those strange instruments and put them all on Su Jian's body, and was about to insert the gastric tube into his mouth.

'Sizzle, sizzle.'

The machine sounded an error message, and the light in the treatment room flashed twice, then went off and on again.

When the lights returned to normal, all the instruments beeped harshly at the same time.

The doctor turned his head and saw...

On the instrument display panel, the lines representing life characteristics such as heartbeat, breathing, and pulse all returned to zero at the same time.

"He, he's dead?!" The doctor was so frightened that his pupils trembled and his brain shook violently.
