Chapter 17 Xincheng Hospital Shen Su said, "Open your mouth."
Shi Yu squatted down to wash her hands before standing up to take the lollipop: "Thank you."
It's orange flavored; I've seen Shen Su eat this flavor the last few times.
Shen Su seems to have a particular fondness for orange flavor.
Normally, Shi Yu wouldn't accept Shen Su's things, but her current physical condition doesn't allow it.
Shi Yu didn't eat the whole lollipop. He broke it into pieces through the wrapper, picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth, then wrapped the rest back in the wrapper.
After doing all that, he said to Shen Su, "It's getting late, shall we head back?"
Shen Su was half a head taller than Shi Yu, so Shi Yu had to tilt her head slightly when talking to Shen Su. The soft streetlights enveloped Shi Yu, softening her usually icy face and even diminishing the coldness in her eyes.
Shen Su stared at Shi Yu for about five seconds before looking away and saying, "Okay."
The two walked back side by side in silence. As they exited the small garden, they both stopped and asked almost simultaneously, "Should we bury the body back?"
So the two of them turned back.
When they returned, they found that the pile of corpses had disappeared, the pit they had dug had been filled in, the light from the streetlights pierced through the treetops and fell on the bluestone path, leaving small dappled shadows, and the neatly trimmed green belts stretched into the distance. Where the light did not reach, there was only darkness. The whole small garden was no different from when they had arrived.
This little garden even has a one-click restore function?
This proved to be true.
But it also saves them the trouble of doing it themselves.
After a series of minor incidents, Shi Yu completely forgot what she was about to say after the two returned to ward 305.
Shen Su forgot even more completely.
It was 8:15 a.m., and it was still dark. The two leaned back in their chairs and dozed off for a while. Ever since they learned that ghosts would come to sleep in their beds at night, they could no longer convince themselves to sleep in their beds.
At this moment, six ghosts are still sleeping neatly on the six beds in the ward. The system didn't urge them to return to the ward today. In fact, they could have spent the night elsewhere, but there might be more ghosts there.
Shi Yu slept very soundly. He felt like he had slept for a long time, and it should be dawn by now, but when he woke up, he found that it was still dark outside the window.
Shen Su had woken up earlier than him and was also looking out the window. Hearing the noise, she turned around and looked at him, her voice a little deep: "Awake?"
People who have just woken up are a bit lazy, and Shi Yu was too lazy to turn around and look at the clock on the wall. Chen Su took the initiative to talk to him, so he simply asked Chen Su, "How long have I been asleep?"
Chen Su: "Two hours."
Shi Yu gradually stopped rubbing her eyes.
Two hours?
It's 8:15 now.
It's past eight o'clock, why isn't it light yet? It's usually bright by seven o'clock.
The nurse, who usually delivers breakfast at 8 a.m. sharp every day, did not come today.
The six ghosts on the beds had gotten up and were moving around. The ghosts in beds 3 and 2 were chatting, and their animated movements showed that they were having a great time. The other patients couldn't hear the ghosts talking, and the ghosts couldn't see them. The six ghosts were getting along harmoniously in room 305.
If we ignore the fact that it's still dark at 8 o'clock.
Neither Shi Yu nor Shen Su spoke; they both silently gazed out the window.
There was no moon or stars; the entire sky was as dark as the dead of night, and there was no sign of the sun rising in the east.
It wasn't until 10 a.m. that the night faded and the sun rose from the east.
After daybreak, everything in the hospital returned to normal. The six ghosts disappeared when the sun peeked out. After it was fully light, the nurse knocked on the door to bring them food. Before leaving, she told them, "You went out for a walk yesterday and caught a chill, which worsened your condition. Don't go out today. Stay in your ward and rest."
Although I don't know why the wind would worsen the condition of "homosexuality"?
But the NPCs' words are, to some extent, also the rules of the game. The nurses' advice that they shouldn't go out today indicates that going out might be dangerous.
So neither of them obediently went out.
The unusual thing wasn't just that it got light late; the sun also set faster than usual today, disappearing into the west in the blink of an eye, and it was completely dark by 4 PM.
The nurse didn't bring dinner today.
As night fell, Shi Yu felt a bit hungry. There was nothing else to eat in the room except for a water dispenser and a half-full bucket of water.
Shi Yu reached for a cup of water, but couldn't find a cup inside the water dispenser cabinet. He reached in again, but still couldn't find a paper cup. Had they run out of paper cups?
He looked down.
There's still half a bag of disposable paper cups left, taking up most of the cabinet space. There are clearly more!
He reached for it again, this time looking at the paper cup, and then he saw his palm pass through it.
Yes, through.
The paper cups were still the same disposable paper cups, there was no problem. The problem was that his palms had become translucent, just like the six ghosts in the ward and all the ghosts outside at night.
Shi Yu looked at her other palm. Both palms had become semi-transparent and could pass through all the objects in the ward. Her wrist and above were still normal.
Shen Su also noticed the problem, but his hand was unharmed.
Shen Su came up to him, bent down and pulled up his trouser leg. The area below his ankle was semi-transparent, while the area above his ankle was still normal.
He started with his hands, and he began his journey with his feet.
They are being assimilated by ghosts.
The difficulty of this hidden side quest lies not in the danger posed by ghosts or dungeon bosses, but in the fact that they will be assimilated by the ghosts.
When they transform into ghosts, they cease to exist as human beings and are no longer considered "alive".
That's why the condition for clearing the game is: survive until the dungeon timeout ends.
The assimilation process is very fast.
When Shi Yu looked at her hand again, she found that the transparent area had spread to her wrist bone. How many minutes had passed?
The side quest added three days to the game time, and this is only the first day of those three days.
At this speed.
They will be completely assimilated in less than three days.
Why are they assimilated by ghosts? What will happen to them after complete assimilation? Are there any ways to stop or slow down the assimilation process?
Shi Yu was filled with questions.
Suddenly, a paper cup filled with water was brought to his lips, and Chen Su said, "Open your mouth."
Shi Yu frowned and took a step back.
I don't understand why this person would still have the mind to tease him at a time like this.
"Didn't you want some water?" Shen Su looked at him for a moment and then asked.
Shi Yu was stunned.
He forgot that his hands were now too weak to hold anything, so naturally he couldn't drink water from a paper cup by himself.
Shi Yu let Shen Su feed her most of a cup of water and thanked him.
Just as Shen Su poured himself another glass of water, seemingly preparing to drink it, Shi Yu was about to remind him that he had used the glass before when he suddenly heard the faint sounds of conversation coming from the ward, from the ghosts inside.
They can hear the voices of ghosts.
When Shi Yu came to her senses, she found that Shen Su had already finished drinking the glass of water.
