Chapter 6 Peace Medical School 4
After breakfast, the nine of them went to the morning pharmacology class together.
This was the first time they met the other eleven students in the class. They heard a noise in the dormitory when the lights were about to be turned off last night. The students in the dormitory on that floor seemed very active, but in class today, they were nervous and silent.
The teacher seemed not to notice the attitudes of the students. He was not in high spirits and continued to speak dully about the contents of the lesson plan.
The nine students did not completely understand the content of the class, and they could understand 30 to 70 percent of it. The eleven students also did not seem to understand it completely.
The closer the pharmacology class got to the end, the more nervous these students became.
As soon as the bell rang, the teacher packed up his lesson plan and left without even finishing the sentence he had left.
"vomit!"
A classmate in front of Xia Bai and Lin Xiang vomited while leaning on the desk, with a dense layer of sweat on his forehead.
The students around him did not find it strange. Perhaps they were all nervous and no one paid attention to this student for a while.
Lin Xiang handed him a piece of paper and asked him, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
The classmate waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm just... I'm too nervous. This happens when I'm nervous."
The nine players didn't know what they were so nervous about, but they were also affected by the nervousness to some extent, and several of them looked uneasy.
Just then, everyone in the class's cell phones rang.
Xia Bai noticed that when the cell phones rang, the students subconsciously tensed up. Maybe that was the source of their nervousness.
In the class group, the counselor tagged everyone.
Counselor: [For the afternoon anatomy experiment class, we need two students to go to the anatomy laboratory to help Professor Liu prepare for the teaching in advance.]
Going to the anatomy lab to prepare for the professor's teaching doesn't sound like a good job. The most basic thing is that the anatomy lab class requires a cadaver, right? Where can I get the cadaver? Should I bring it from the morgue?
Not to mention that these students were so nervous. Students studying clinical medicine had already been prepared by anatomical teachers. With simple preparations, it was unlikely that they would be so nervous that they were restless during the morning classes or even nervous to the point of vomiting.
They stared at their phones, waiting with bated breath.
Counselor: [Today, it is Dai Liangyuan and Song Mingliang. After lunch, please go to prepare for the afternoon anatomy lab 203 in advance. Next, I will tell you how to prepare and what you need to prepare.]
Some people are relaxed, some people are devastated.
After seeing the counselor's message, a classmate immediately grabbed another classmate's hand and cried, "Head of the dormitory, my heart is really not good. Can you go in my place this afternoon?"
This person should be Dai Liangyuan.
The players all looked at Song Mingliang, who lowered his head slightly as usual, with his thick bangs covering his eyes. His father, Song Qiang, picked at the burrs around his nails, looking very panicked.
During lunch, Song Qiang pulled Song Mingliang to their table again.
Song Qiang looked at Hua Haoming flatteringly: "You have been in the game before, so you must be very good. This is your first time in the anatomy laboratory. There are many unknowns, but it must also be an opportunity to discover new clues."
Hua Haoming asked directly: "What do you want to say?"
Song Qiang said hurriedly, "I just heard from that classmate named Dai Liangyuan that he can find someone to go in his place. Could you please go in place of Song Mingliang this time? We will definitely thank you very much. Next time it's your turn, we will let Song Mingliang go in your place."
Hua Haoming: "Sorry."
Song Qiang still smiled as usual and pushed Song Mingliang.
Song Mingliang didn't respond.
Song Qiang angrily slapped him on the head, "Why don't you speak properly at this time? Who are you going to piss off to death?"
He pulled Song Mingliang to the front and said, "Speak nicely and beg Brother Hua nicely to let him give you a lesson."
Song Mingliang finally spoke, "I'll go by myself."
Song Qiang: "What?"
Song Mingliang took a deep breath, his voice became louder, the veins on his neck were exposed, and he said, "I will go by myself!"
Song Qiang was stunned for a moment, and was about to lose his temper when Hua Haoming interrupted him. He said, "Uncle Song, no matter how much you beg me, I won't go for him. But after dinner, we can accompany him to the anatomy laboratory in advance to find out why they are afraid."
It didn't achieve its goal, but it made him feel more at ease. Song Qiang thanked them reluctantly and sat at the table next to them.
After lunch, the nine of them went to the anatomy laboratory and called up the nervous Dai Liangyuan.
Hua Haoming comforted Dai Liangyuan on the way: "Don't worry, it may be okay this time."
Dai Liangyuan rubbed his hands nervously, "How can it be okay? Several people have had accidents before. This is no longer just a campus legend. So many people who have been to the morgue have gone crazy or died!"
He was so nervous that he was a little neurotic. His hands were red from rubbing. If he continued to rub, the skin would probably fall off. "Why are we so unlucky to be chosen the first time?"
Several people looked at each other and grasped the key, the campus legend.
Xia Bai asked: "What campus legend?"
Several players looked at him in surprise. Hua Haoming had told them before that they should behave in accordance with their identities when speaking to NPCs in the game. Now they were Dai Liangyuan's classmates, and they were not freshmen. In other words, they should also know the campus legends that everyone in the class was nervous and afraid of.
Dai Liangyuan sighed, "Xia Bai, why are you still like this? When we usually gossip, you are always in a daze, right? Forget about the other things, but you don't even know this. I don't know what to say to you."
“…”
Hua Haoming glanced at Xia Bai. How did he know that the game would comprehensively scan the players' lives and that the players' identities in the game would contain real-life personalities and traits?
But, did he really just daydream at school? Then how did he get into Heping Medical College?
Xia Bai noticed Hua Haoming's gaze and saw that the suspicion in his eyes became even stronger when he looked at him, and his face was confused.
Dai Liangyuan had already told this classmate who was not on the same wavelength: "There is a legend about ghosts in the morgue. The ghosts are very scary. I heard that several seniors who saw ghosts in the morgue went crazy and tortured themselves to death. The school may have the tradition of asking us students to prepare for teaching because of this legend. Many people in our class dropped out because of this campus legend."
Even the dumbest person can tell that the key to winning the game lies in this ghost.
"I've heard of this legend, too, but don't worry." Hua Haoming said nonsense without changing his expression, "I heard that not everyone who went to the morgue to prepare died."
A few people heard that he was testing the information and pricked up their ears calmly.
"That's what you say, but how do you know that we are the lucky ones?" Dai Liangyuan was still very painful.
However, Song Mingliang and Song Qiang visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Not everyone who prepared would die, which meant there was still a chance.
They walked along the artificial lake towards the morgue, where algae grew wildly, swaying happily and filling the lake with green. The humidity seemed heavier than anywhere else, with a unique fishy smell of aquatic plants.
The anatomy laboratory and morgue are located in a four-story red building, far away from the living area and shaded by lush locust trees. It is secluded, cool, and deserted.
Standing outside the door, they smelled the strong odor of formaldehyde, so strong that it was choking and irritating.
As soon as Dai Liangyuan arrived here, he took paper money and started burning it nearby, muttering something.
Meng Tianyou said: "I said the key is in the morgue."
Lin Xiang: "Come on, you're talking about the anatomy lab."
Meng Tianyou: "These two are one and the same. Is there any difference? Your words immediately expose that you are an outsider."
Lin Xiang sneered loudly.
Meng Tianyou was angry. He was about to say something else when Song Qiang interrupted him enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, you are right, classmate Meng. The core NPC is here. There are key clues here. In this case, let's send more people in this time? The sooner we find the truth, the sooner we can get out."
He also had a reason and evidence. "Just now Dai Liangyuan said that some people who went to the morgue were fine while others were in trouble. We all have to go in once depending on the situation. Going in alone may not be able to avoid triggering death. If several people go in together and discuss it, it may be possible to avoid it."
What he said made sense, but the counselor chosen today was Song Mingliang. It was such a dangerous place with nothing known. Who would want to go in?
Xia Bai took a quick step forward, but was pulled back by Hua Haoming and Lin Xiang just as quickly.
Lin Xiang whispered to him: "Xia Bai, don't be too kind."
Hua Haoming: “…”
Song Qiang looked at these people one by one. No one came out and no one spoke. The smile on his face gradually cooled down, stiffened for a while, and then shattered.
In the end, it was Song Mingliang and Dai Liangyuan who went. Under the gazes of a group of people with different expressions, they walked slowly and helplessly into the anatomy laboratory building.
The other players were waiting at the door, wondering what he had been through inside.
Half an hour later, the two came out. They looked fine, just a little tired, with some unknown liquid splashed on their bodies.
"How is it?" Meng Tianyou walked quickly to Song Mingliang and asked, "What did you see? What happened?"
Song Mingliang kept his head down and said nothing as usual.
For the first time, Song Qiang did not scold him for not speaking.
Meng Tianyou was stunned for a moment.
Wen Qiu frowned and said, "Song Mingliang, don't be so petty. If you don't tell us any clues, do you think you can find the truth by yourself? We may accidentally touch some death rules. If we don't find the truth quickly, others will die in the game, including you and your son."
Song Qiang hesitated for a moment, but still pushed Song Mingliang, "Why are you so silent at the critical moment? What happened? Tell us quickly."
"Nothing really happened. I just followed the instructor's instructions and moved the cadaver onto the test bench. I had all the dissection tools ready. Nothing unexpected happened. Apart from the dead body, I didn't encounter anything weird or scary."
This was the longest sentence he had ever said, and he said it very seriously, without sounding like a lie.
Wen Qiu asked: "Really?"
Song Mingliang said nothing more and looked up at Dai Liangyuan.
Dai Liangyuan has left. He is no longer as nervous and fearful as when he came. He walks happily with a smile brighter than the sun. He looks like a really lucky man.
"How could it be?" Meng Tianyou said, "Something must have happened."
Lin Xiang snorted, "You are looking forward to others getting into trouble, but it won't be you who will go to jail, right?"
Meng Tianyou was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, "Are you looking for trouble?"
Lin Xiang put his hands in his pockets, turned around and whistled.
“…”
Meng Tianyou's idea was a bit problematic, but in fact, he was not the only one among them who thought that something would happen if Song Mingliang went to the morgue. The students in the previous class had already made it very clear that there must be something wrong with the morgue, and that must be the key.
However, nothing really happened. According to Song Mingliang, it was just an ordinary morgue and laboratory.
Wen Dong: "Are we going in the wrong direction? Isn't this the right direction?"
Hua Haoming: "Let's wait and see when we are in class, or come here to check it out at night."
The college stipulates that the anatomy laboratory remains open until lights out from Monday to Friday night to facilitate students, especially those who are about to become interns, to practice here.
Song Mingliang went in and prepared for more than half an hour. The rest of the time was not worth going back and forth to the dormitory, so they waited outside the door.
Classmates came over one after another. It was almost time for class and Lin Xiang became more and more nervous.
For someone who has never thought about studying medicine, it is really a bit too much to take an anatomy class in a horror game right from the start, not to mention that he is afraid of these things in the first place.
He saw Xia Bai sitting next to him. His face looked as calm as always, as if he was wandering in space, but the fingers on his legs were trembling not noticeably.
He never showed any signs of panic, but after all, he was just an innocent boy who had not been online for 18 years and had not been polluted.
Lin Xiang felt weak at heart when he saw this. Xia Bai ignored his fear and carried him out of the cemetery. This time, he also had to suppress his fear and protect Xia Bai well.
Lin Xiang asked: "Xia Bai, are you afraid too?"
He patted his chest and said righteously: "Don't be afraid, if the teacher asks you to touch a dead body, I will stand in front of you."
Hua Haoming: “…”
