Chapter 8 Xincheng Hospital "You're being quite nosy."
After breakfast, it's time for the usual outdoor exercise.
After playing the game for a few days, everyone realized that exercising in the small garden wouldn't increase exploration progress, so they simply stopped exploring. Liu Yang brought out a deck of cards from the ward, and the five of them played Landlord on the stone table in the small garden.
Shi Yu did not join.
However, everyone had gotten used to Shi Yu's aloofness and solitary nature, and no one paid him any attention.
The sun hung in the east, there was no wind, and the leaves were still, but Shi Yu could still feel the chill creeping up from the soles of her feet.
He walked along a cobblestone path to the edge of the small garden. The last time he came here, he couldn't lift his foot, and it was the same this time. He raised his hand to touch the air in front of him, but there was nothing obstructing him. However, he just couldn't lift his foot to move forward.
He glanced back at the stone table under the shade of the trees in the distance. Shen Su was sitting with his back to him, still holding many cards. This round was Shen Su's, Liu Yang's, and Lin Yarong's. The other two were watching the game and no one was paying attention to them.
Shi Yu took off his hospital gown and found that he could move his feet. He took a step forward, and the scene in front of him changed instantly. It wasn't completely changed, but it became vivid—several medical staff were walking in the previously empty corridor of the inpatient building, a man was smoking in front of the hospital fence and a security guard was walking over to persuade him to stop smoking, two cars were parked in the parking space next to him, and two elderly people were taking a walk with canes in the distance.
These are scenes he couldn't see from inside the small garden, as if the small garden had been encircled. During the one-hour exercise period, he was inside the encirclement and couldn't see anyone outside, nor could he leave. But once he took off his hospital gown, he could walk out and see everything outside functioning normally.
Shi Yu tried again. He stepped back, and the medical staff, security guards, the man smoking, and the elderly man taking a walk all disappeared. He put his hospital gown back on and tried to move forward again, but he still couldn't lift his feet. He took off his hospital gown and moved forward again, and the mysterious force that had been blocking him disappeared. The people he had just seen reappeared before him.
The hospital gown is probably a limited-use item in this game instance.
But why design it this way?
Shi Yu was worried that someone would notice something was wrong, so he didn't stay there for long. He put on his hospital gown and walked back as if nothing had happened, then came up behind the group of people playing cards to watch them play.
Shen Su was also watching the game at that moment. When he saw him leaning over slightly, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Where did you go just now? I didn't see you."
Shi Yu: "..."
This person was clearly playing cards with their back to him just now, I wonder if they had eyes in the back of their head and noticed he wasn't there.
Shi Yu glanced at Chen Su and said in a low voice, "You're quite nosy."
"After all, we're teammates now." That was the most human thing to say, but then Chen Su went completely off the rails again with his next sentence: "You wouldn't be going to go looking for clues behind my back, would you? And then abandon me to finish the game alone?"
Shi Yu: "…………"
Although he did think that way.
But there's really no need to use the word "abandon".
Shen Su was tall and had a larger frame than Shi Yu. When the two got close, Shi Yu felt like he was being enveloped. He moved half a step to the side and said without changing his expression, "No, I was watching ants moving house. Maybe I was just being blocked by the bushes while I was squatting."
Shen Su grunted in response, unsure whether he had received the letter or not.
In fact, Shi Yu hesitated about whether to share his discovery with Shen Su. But then he felt that if everything went as everyone expected, and they could all get enough exploration points to complete the game tonight or tomorrow night, then it wouldn't matter whether he told Shen Su or not.
Shi Yu doesn't want to talk to Shen Su right now.
Therefore, I choose not to say anything.
.
Today's rehabilitation therapy is somewhat different from usual.
A few days ago, when they entered the rehabilitation room, the doctor glanced at their medical records and immediately began to "treat" them. But today, when they went to the rehabilitation room, the doctor gave them another physical examination before treatment and then said, "Your condition is a bit volatile. Starting today, I will increase your dosage."
All six people received the same diagnosis.
Why did we arrive at this diagnosis? How exactly does the condition recur?
They didn't know, and they dared not ask.
The treatment method is still based on the individual's symptoms, but the dosage has indeed been increased.
Cheng Jianshu has diabetes and is usually forced to eat one high-sugar cake. Today he ate three. Lin Yarong, who has heart disease, was thrown into a haunted space. Although Lin Yarong is not afraid of ghosts, this personal experience was still a bit scary. Her face was very pale when she came out.
Liu Yang received one-on-one psychological counseling from three doctors. Afterwards, this normally mentally sound person became anxious, worried that he couldn't give Xia Wanwan a future. Upon hearing the word "future," Xia Wanwan became so distressed that she looked like she might jump off a building at any moment. Lin Yarong comforted her for a long time before she was able to give up her suicidal thoughts.
Shi Yu and Shen Su's original treatment method was to tie people to an electrotherapy bed and show them short films.
But today, the NPC doctor brought in several muscular men to give a live performance.
Today's treatment still involves Shi Yu and Shen Su each having their own rehabilitation room.
To be honest, watching an adult film live is quite stimulating for a straight man.
These muscular men were quite skilled at having fun, and some of their moves were things Shi Yu had never even seen in adult films. These three hours were quite an eye-opener for Shi Yu.
Fortunately, Shi Yu is a straight man. Although watching the live pornographic film was exciting, he remained completely unmoved throughout the entire process.
The monitor by the bed showed no fluctuations throughout the entire process, and the electric shock device ran for three hours without any effect.
Today's treatment with increased dosage is finally over, but the doctor did not immediately put Shi Yu off the electrotherapy bed.
The NPC doctor casually pointed to a muscular man, then looked at Shi Yu on the electrotherapy bed, and ordered the muscular man: "You, go and get him hard."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu froze.
However, this was not the time for him to be stunned. Shi Yu tried his best to maintain his composure and said, "Doctor, this shouldn't be within the scope of treatment, right? Besides, the three hours of treatment time for today have already been completed."
The doctor walked towards him with a gloomy expression. "I decide your treatment plan. If I say it's not enough, it's not enough. I've been here for so many years, and no one has ever been completely unresponsive in my care. I don't believe it..." The doctor's eyes darkened, and he then directed several other muscular men over, "You go and assist him."
The muscular man drew closer, and Shi Yu began to struggle. The restraints tightened around his wrists and ankles, becoming even more constricting with each struggle. Perhaps due to Shi Yu's intense emotional state at that moment, the monitor by the bed reacted, and the electrotherapy bed activated its function for Shi Yu for the first time.
On the first day of the game, the doctor said that the current on the electrotherapy bed was very small. Now Shi Yu felt that the doctor was talking nonsense. The current was not small at all. It made him lose all his strength in one go, and he watched helplessly as the muscular man got closer and closer to him.
The soundproofing in the recovery room is excellent, and NPCs have absolute authority here.
His companions couldn't save him, and no one outside would know what had happened to him.
Shi Yu never imagined that this would happen.
The first day the doctor forced him to kiss Shen Su, it made him feel uncomfortable for a long time. He couldn't accept physical intimacy with people, let alone with an NPC in a game.
If that were to happen, he didn't know what he would do.
"Get away!" Shi Yu struggled, trembling, gasping for breath. "Stay away from me...get out! Get away from me!"
Just as a hand was about to touch his face, the door to Kangfu's room was kicked open.
"It's time for the patient to return to their ward."
The doctor's face had been contorted with anger, but when he saw that it was a nurse outside, his expression softened. He glanced at the wall clock and nodded reluctantly, "Yes, the time has indeed come. You can take him away now..."
Shi Yu turned her head and looked towards the door.
The hallway lights were brighter than the room lights, and they were a bit dazzling at first glance.
He blinked, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw that there was another person standing behind the nurse. The person was very tall, and because of the backlight, he couldn't see the face clearly, but judging from the figure, it should be Shen Su.
Shi Yu didn't know if Shen Su was watching him.
Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief when the restraints on her body were removed.
Fortunately, the nurse arrived in time.
Fortunately, the nurses strictly followed the planned schedule.
Today's treatment was too much, and everyone's appetite wasn't very good tonight. But the thought of leaving the game and going home in two more nights cheered everyone up.
After dinner, everyone played cards in the ward for a while before going to bed.
At 2 a.m., the bell rang.
The first thing everyone does when they open their eyes is to open the group chat in the game panel.
However, the game panel could not be opened.
No matter how many times I tapped the black magnetic card, the game panel didn't appear.
Some thought it was a problem with the magnetic card, others thought it was a problem with the game system, but only the viewers in the live stream knew what was going on.
[I knew it! They grinded dozens of exploration points in one night, look how awesome they are! How could a dungeon with a 17% success rate be so easy?]
The game may be updated, but it won't give you cheats, so this is undoubtedly a bug.
I can almost picture the programmers fixing the bugs all night, hahaha!
[I understand the logic, so why did Chen Su ask the nurse to bang on the door?]
I understand the logic, so why did Chen Su have the nurse bang on the door?
[Yes, why exactly did Shen Su ask the nurse to bang on the door?]
