Chapter 15 Peace Medical School 13
After seeing the names of the people who were chosen, the other students left with relief. Some even comforted Xia Bai before leaving, their eyes full of regret.
After the group of people left, Lin Xiang said, "Xia Bai, I'll go for you."
Seeing that Xia Bai was about to object, he stopped him in advance and said, "I'm not impulsive. I just thought about it carefully and made this decision very rationally. Listen to me."
Lin Xiang tried his best to remain calm and not show his panic in front of Xia Bai. "Meng Qing tortured herself to death on the second night after entering the morgue. But she went to the morgue twice, so the alienation effect must have intensified. Song Mingliang killed Song Qiang on the third night after entering the morgue. In other words, even if I go to the morgue, I should be able to hold out for two and a half days. I believe you will be able to find the truth in these two and a half days and get me out of the game."
"You've always been so smart."
"If you go in, I can't guarantee that I can get you out. You and Brother Hua, one is responsible for intelligence, and the other is responsible for force. If you both become alienated, then it's really... finished."
Hua Haoming also said: "What Lin Xiang said makes sense, let Lin Xiang go for you."
Xia Bai shook his head, "You forgot that Dai Liangyuan said that not all people who go to prepare for teaching are crazy or dead. I don't have any quirks, so I should be this kind of person."
Hua Haoming: “…”
Lin Xiang was also troubled when he heard him say that, "Ah, you are right, if this is the case, both of us will be fine."
Hua Haoming: “…”
Hua Haoming said to Lin Xiang: "You go to the restaurant to eat with them first, and I will talk to him in detail."
Hua Haoming pulled Xia Bai to the grove next to the teaching building, and leaned against the tree trunk with his arms around his chest, as if he wanted to have a good chat with him. He said, "That day I said that I would not go to the morgue for anyone except you, and I meant it, but now I can't go for you."
Xia Bai: "Why are you willing to go for me? You came to school with me, besides monitoring me, do you really want to protect me?"
"Of course." Hua Haoming said: "You are very important. Although I don't like to hear others say this, the fact is that in the eyes of many people, you are more important than me."
Xia Bai: "Because of the lost God of Happiness in my home?"
Hua Haoming nodded. "I had just finished playing a game in Quanguang City. Normally, I should have had some time off. But when I saw the message from Lao Yang, I immediately rushed here with two people from the nearby Tourism Management Bureau because we all knew that this matter might be very important."
Xia Bai was puzzled. "Judging from your reaction at the time, you should have felt that this matter was outrageous. Why did you come here immediately after hearing what Lao Yang said?"
"You don't think that Lao Yang is a policeman from your small police station, do you?" Hua Haoming glanced at Xia Bai.
Xia Bai: “…”
"The Tourism Management Bureau is very big. It not only manages games, but also everything related to games and the problems caused by games. Lao Yang is also from the Tourism Management Bureau. His job is a bit special. He went to your police station to learn about the situation a few days ago, and saw you acting suspiciously, and learned about you by the way."
Xia Bai was silent. No wonder the beautiful sister called Lao Yang "Teacher Yang". This was a bit of a strange name. He thought Lao Yang was her master.
"The Gaming Authority, unknown to countless ordinary people, has actually existed for a long time. You don't know how many people have sacrificed their lives and how much they have paid, just to study the game and end it."
"There has been some progress, but most of it was just released when the game first came out. It seems like the game deliberately and arrogantly revealed it. Now it has stagnated at a bottleneck, and we can only force our way into the game."
"Since the game came out, people have disappeared. This is the first time that a dead body has disappeared. This could be a new development. So after we received the news, we rushed here immediately, even though the possibility was only very small."
Xia Bai understood why Hua Haoming rejected everyone else and was willing to go to the morgue for him even though he was not sure.
"Let Lin Xiang go for you." Hua Haoming said: "In addition to what I told you, there is also the issue of game rewards."
"I told you that if you can complete the game, those who perform well will receive game rewards. The game is actually very generous in terms of rewards. After all, the game is useless once you complete it, and it will disappear locally. The resources in the game and the things that can be exchanged for them can be rewarded to the players."
"The worst reward is points, followed by some props, then weapons, and the highest is skills." Hua Haoming emphasized skills to Xia Bai, "According to the current information of the Tourism Administration, skills are divided into three levels: all the skills of the weapon itself, the skills of the body, and the highest level and the rarest soul skills."
"Even among the players on the player leaderboard, there are very few who possess powerful soul skills. This kind of skill is hard to come by and cannot be obtained by performing well. It requires a good relationship with the game at hand."
Xia Bai understood, "Do you think I might be able to get soul skills in this game?"
"I feel that it is possible. The key to this game lies in the morgue, that is, in the dead body. You know your own characteristics very well, and this connection is very strong."
Xia Bai: "Haven't you always suspected that there was something wrong with me? Why did you let me get a skill that sounds amazing?"
Hua Haoming did not directly answer Xia Bai's question, but only said: "Having one more powerful player is a good thing. With soul skills, you can safely complete more games."
Xia Bai: "I'm not as great as you guys. I don't want to complete the game. I just want to be an ordinary forensic doctor."
Hua Haoming glanced at him and said, "How can your God of Happiness be in the real world if it can't even be captured by surveillance cameras? It's very likely that he has gone into the game."
Xia Bai's expression was determined enough to join the party: "I will work hard to acquire skills, and I also want to be a great person."
“…”
Hua Haoming was silent for more than ten seconds before speaking, "So, let Lin Xiang go for you. If you want to get the soul skill reward, at least you have to think clearly to find more clues and become the best person among those who pass the level."
Xia Bai still shook his head. "If I rely on others to take risks and clear the game for me, it would not be considered outstanding. Since the skill is very difficult to obtain, I may not be able to get it. If I can pass the game in the morgue, the possibility of getting it is greater."
There is some truth to it.
Hua Haoming just agreed a little when he heard Xia Bai say: "Besides, didn't I say that someone went to the morgue and was fine? This means that some people don't have any fetishes that can be alienated. I really don't think I have any either."
"..." Hua Haoming couldn't stand it anymore, "It's not like I don't know you. You're still saying this in front of me alone. Do you really think you don't have any special fetishes?"
Xia Bai was at a loss: "What hobbies do I have that could be alienated?"
Hua Haoming said bluntly: "Necrophilia!"
Xia Bai's face actually showed a hurt expression, his eyes widened, "How can you say that to me?"
Hua Haoming: “?”
Xia Bai: "I just want to give a home to the poor homeless corpses."
Hua Haoming: “…”
Xia Bai: "You have tainted the pure family affection."
Hua Haoming: “…”
Lin Xiang was waiting anxiously in the restaurant, looking towards the door every few seconds, wanting to know how Hua Haoming had persuaded Xia Bai.
After turning his head for who knows how many hundred times, he finally saw the two figures. He stood up and waved to them, "Here, here!"
After the two of them sat down, Hua Haoming told Lin Xiang the results of the discussion without waiting for him to speak, "Xia Bai and I will go to the morgue at noon today."
Lin Xiang looked at Xia Bai, "Xia Bai..."
Xia Bai said, "According to what you said, even if I am transformed, I still have two and a half days to hold on. I will be conscious for two days and can still look for clues. And the morgue is the key. There may be key clues that we are missing there. We must go look for them."
Lin Xiangyou was persuaded, "Forget it, one of you has more gaming experience than me, and one of you is smarter than me. Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
Hua Haoming said as if he was giving instructions for his final resting place: "If I become alienated, you should try to hide at night. If Xia Bai becomes alienated, you should... tie him up at night and make sure he doesn't commit suicide."
Meng Qing was a mysophobe and washed herself to death.
If a person who likes corpses becomes infinitely alienated in this direction, wouldn't he turn himself and the people around him into corpses?
Lin Xiang nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Xia Bai looked a little unhappy, he asked him, "Xia Bai, what's wrong? Did you have an unpleasant chat with Brother Hua?"
Xia Bai said bluntly: "He doesn't respect me, nor my ideals."
“…”
Hua Haoming didn't want to talk, "Eat!"
Xia Bai picked up the white porridge that Lin Xiang bought for him and started eating.
Unlike the others, these two didn't waste any time going to the morgue. After making their decision, they went in right after lunch.
This was not the first time the two of them had entered the anatomy laboratory building, but every time they had entered, they had hurried up the stairs and had never walked into the dark corridor on the first floor.
The banyan trees that blocked out the sun around the laboratory building made it dark and damp, and the darkness and dampness gave rise to a chill and fishy smell. The strong smell of formalin could suppress the fishy smell but could not decompose it. It lingered faintly around the tip of the nose and spread over the body, as if immersed in dead water where fish and plants were dying.
The corridor on the first floor is longer than that on the second floor, and there are more rooms. Not all of them are morgues, there is also a specimen room, which stores various human and animal organs.
According to the instructions given to them by the counselor, they had to go to morgue No. 4 and bring cadaver No. 5 to laboratory 203 on the second floor.
This week, all the people who were preparing for teaching came to Morgue No. 4. Morgue No. 4 was at the end of the corridor. It seemed that it had never been locked, and there was a dark crack in the door. The school didn't seem to be worried at all about someone entering the morgue to do anything.
To get to Morgue No. 4, you have to pass through several specimen rooms and morgues in the corridor.
Hua Haoming was afraid that Xia Bai might not be able to control himself and do something, so he simply grabbed Xia Bai's wrist and walked quickly in the dark and silent corridor. The further they went in, the darker and more humid it became. The ground was wet and seemed to be covered with moss.
When they reached the door of morgue No. 4, their eyes were wet. The smell of Folin Marin was too pungent. It was so strong that it couldn't completely suppress the other fishy smell. Even with a mask, the mixed smell still made people's stomach juice surge, and they wanted to give up breathing.
An even colder aura emanated from the crack of the door of Morgue No. 4, giving both of them goose bumps.
Hua Haoming let go of Xia Bai's hand, and his soft sword appeared in his hand. He took a deep breath, placed his hand on the mottled and dilapidated door, and gently pushed it back.
The author has something to say:
Xia Bai felt that his pure and noble ideals were insulted, and unilaterally decided not to play with Hua Haoming anymore.
