The doctors' offices, archives, and the dean's office on the fourth floor were obviously high-risk areas, so he definitely didn't want to go there!
"Hey, what do you mean by this? It's all decided by drawing lots, why are you disagreeing?" one player protested.
The muscular male player scoffed, crossed his arms, and took two steps back: "I'm putting this out there today. If I draw the fourth floor, I absolutely will not go up there. Whoever wants to go can go."
Cui Mingyang hadn't expected that even with only a dozen or so people, they couldn't achieve complete unity. If his actions hadn't been so dangerous, he really would have wanted to leave.
Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing the muscular male player's words, and then fell silent.
Deep down, they didn't want to go either.
Sure enough, seeing that no one was speaking, the muscular male player gave Cui Mingyang a sarcastic smile.
Xiao Jin stood to the side, watching these people still have time to play mind games, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
Have they forgotten that there's a time limit at the restaurant? Are these people planning to stand there forever and miss out on the restaurant's badge?
Xiao Jin began to lean towards taking action herself.
Unexpectedly, Cui Mingyang suddenly spoke up again: "Then let's split into three groups, and everyone will go to the fourth floor together." After saying that, Cui Mingyang glanced at everyone.
"This mission isn't just to find my medical records. Now that the fourth floor area has been involved, you should understand that there's no escaping it."
After saying that, Cui Mingyang turned around decisively and strode towards Xiao Jin, looking at her as if to say, "Do as you please."
As he approached, he smiled slightly and said, "Hello, may I be on your team?"
Looking into Cui Mingyang's eyes, Xiao Jin remained silent for a moment before nodding: "Okay."
This guy doesn't seem stupid; teaming up with him shouldn't be a problem.
There was a moment of tension in the air. After everyone came to their senses, they all began to look for teammates who caught their eye.
Two more people arrived after Xiao Jin: a little girl with a baby collar named Tong Xiaolu, and Luo Bin.
Cui Mingyang goes without saying, Tong Xiaolu is no simple character either, and Luo Bin, as the first person to discover Xiao Jin entering the duty room and following her, is not as carefree as he appears on the surface.
"By the way, what's your name?" Tong Xiaolu blinked her big eyes and asked Xiao Jin curiously.
Xiao Jin paused for a moment: "Just call me Ying." His name was too conspicuous; probably not many players wouldn't know it.
The name was obviously a code name that was made up on the spot, but the three of them didn't care. It was just a name. Can't people be a little 'socially awkward'?
Yes, Xiao Jin, who was not talkative, was immediately mistaken for a socially awkward person by Cui Mingyang and Luo Bin. Tong Xiaolu was a little disappointed, as she did not get the name of the handsome young man.
After the four got to know each other, Tong Xiaolu happily ran off to draw lots.
While waiting, Cui Mingyang suddenly realized that the average age of their team was a bit too low.
He was twenty-eight, not yet thirty, and Luo Bin looked to be in his early twenties, not to mention the underage Tong Xiaolu. The boy with the knife didn't look very old either.
It wasn't that Cui Mingyang looked down on them; it was mainly due to his habits from the real world that he subconsciously wanted to take care of Xiao Jin and the other two.
Sigh~ Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time!
Xiao Jin didn't notice anything wrong, except that Cui Mingyang's gaze was strange. When Tong Xiaolu returned, she glanced at the lot she had drawn and strode towards the left corridor.
The matter of the fourth floor will be put on hold for now. The players will draw lots to decide who will search which floor, and Xiao Jin and her group happen to be on the first floor.
After passing through the lobby, you'll reach the reception area.
The words 'Weis Sanatorium' on the wall have become blurred, decorations have fallen to the ground, and various documents are scattered on the table.
Luo Bin bent down: "Do you think our medical records are mixed in here?"
Tong Xiaolu: "How could that be? It's not that simple."
"That's not necessarily true. There's a saying, 'The darkest place is under the lamp.'"
Cui Mingyang chuckled lightly: "Then this light is a bit too dim." He pulled out a few receipts and looked at them: "Don't worry, the game will never set such a simple trap for you."
There was nothing at the front desk, and the four continued walking down.
Xiao Jin led the way, and soon the group arrived at the first room—a simple medical treatment room with an operating table inside.
Surgical instruments stained with blood were scattered on the cart next to it, and the blue cloth was full of holes.
The four people entered and began searching, but found nothing. The room was unusually 'clean,' as if it had been specially tidied up.
There wasn't even a blank sheet of paper, let alone medical records, so they had no choice but to leave.
Continue walking deeper into the corridor, and the pharmacy is not far away.
The transparent glass was also covered in dust, and when the light shone on it, it was impossible to see inside.
Before they even went inside, Luo Bin, who was standing to the side, suddenly shivered.
Tong Xiaolu, who was behind him, asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Jin, who was in front, stopped and turned his head slightly, but his hand quietly gripped the hilt of the knife.
Luo Bin's expression was serious: "I sense a bad atmosphere inside."
"Could it be that you're too nervous?" Cui Mingyang asked.
"No way!" Luo Bin shook his head.
"You have a perception-type item," Xiao Jin suddenly said, immediately drawing a surprised look from Luo Bin.
"That's right, I do have an item that can sense the surrounding situation, but it's a bit useless, it's only a blue quality item."
Aside from being able to vaguely sense malice, he had no other skills, the range of which was uncertain, and even the strength of the enemy was unknown. Luo Bin shrugged helplessly.
"Actually, it's not that the player was afraid to go up. I could feel the deep malice coming from above even on the first floor."
Xiao Jin frowned: "If it can be used, it's not useless. The fact that it reacts means that it contains the information we need."
“Ying is right.” Cui Mingyang stepped forward, trying to cut in front of Xiao Jin: “Everyone be alert and prepared. If anything unusual happens after I open the door, you…wait…”
Before Cui Mingyang could stop Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin had already opened the door and gone inside, with Luo Bin and Tong Xiaolu following behind her.
In an instant, he found himself at the back.
Cui Mingyang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ran inside.
These brats, do they even know what it means to kill someone right after they open the door?!
