Chapter 23 The Third Mental Hospital
◎Witch's Potion◎
Gu Nian glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Qi, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to go to the dean's office with us later. But don't worry, we will do our best to protect you."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly. "Okay, as long as I can get out, I'll do anything. To be honest, I have children to take care of at home, and I'm really worried. I'm glad you're here."
The other party's anxiety was genuine, and they all felt it. Going to the dean's office meant facing a monster head-on, a courage not often possessed by ordinary people.
Zhong Xingchi patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out!"
After everyone left, Zhong Xingchi was ready to get to work. He spread out all the things he brought with him on the bed and started picking and choosing.
This time they are likely to face the contaminated core, so they will go together.
On the other side, Qi Kai asked Gu Nian: "Do you think there is a problem?" In fact, the caregiver had already provided the key information, so they could go there by themselves.
Normally, they wouldn't let ordinary people get involved. It's mainly because they wouldn't be of much help and could easily cause casualties.
Gu Nian shook her head. "He probably wasn't lying." She had specifically asked about their escape earlier, and his answers were spot-on. She paused. "I just thought he was the last person to come into contact with the body, so to be safe, we should go together."
Qi Kai nodded, "That's good." Noticing that Gu Nian had been holding a document since she came in, he asked, "What are you holding?"
Gu Nian handed over the document: "I found the order for the operation. I originally wanted to see if I could find the sales contract that the hospital signed secretly, but it was not in the archives." However, this was also expected. The information was most likely kept in the dean's office.
She was just trying her luck this time. The more she knew, the better her chances of success.
Qi Kai carefully read the surgical order, thought for a moment, and asked a key question, "What about the doctor who performed the surgery? Who is this monster?"
Gu Nian said helplessly: "It's gone too."
During an operation, both the surgeon and the patient disappeared. However, according to their deduction, the surgeon who performed the operation should have known the inside story, so it is unlikely that he was the contaminated core.
Zhong Xingchi, who was whispering to Song Tian, also heard the conversation between the two and turned his head and said, "Who cares about it? It's so close to the pollution core, it must have been eaten. Forget it, you two can come and see if there are any pollutants that can be used later."
When he heard the word pollutants, Gu Nian's eyes lit up.
Qi Kai had previously mentioned that pollutants with special functions would appear around pollution cores and higher-level aberrations. The Dean's Seal in her hand, for example, was a pollutant.
Gu Nian looked over curiously and found several things scattered on the bed. She pointed to a whistle beside her and asked, "What's the use of this?"
Zhong Xingchi glanced at it and replied, "Oh, this is a PE teacher's whistle. When it blows, everyone within ten meters will start running 3,000 meters. The last one to finish will do 100 push-ups as punishment. But it's too low-level and has no lethality, so it's not very useful."
Gu Nian looked at an alarm clock again: "What about this?"
"Well, within a minute of the alarm going off, you can't close your eyes. If you do, it'll be like a loud speaker blaring in your ears all day long. It's so noisy, and it won't do anything."
"What about this?"
"Ah, you must not turn on this switch. With this halo on your head, you will be the brightest kid on this street, shining brightly in the eyes of monsters."
"Um...this?"
"I don't know whose crystal ball this is, but she keeps asking me to help find her dog. How am I supposed to know where her dog is now? If I don't bring it with me, it will curse me. Otherwise, I would have thrown it away long ago."
Gu Nian: “…” Okay.
Qi Kai said angrily: "Can't you bring something useful?"
Zhong Xingchi replied, "It's not that I don't want to take them. I just asked the captain and the others to take them to deal with the pollution center in H City. Just be content. It's only because I'm a purifier that I can carry so many pollutants." He suddenly found something and jumped up, saying, "I found it!"
"Hahaha, witch's potion!" Zhong Xingchi laughed with his hands on his hips.
Gu Nian, Qi Kai, Song Tian: "..."
It's useful for you, right?
Zhong Xingchi excitedly held up a pitch-black transparent glass bottle. Seeing the expressions of the others, he immediately became dissatisfied. "What are you talking about? Have you heard of the Daughter of the Sea? This potion can make any creature grow a pair of legs. Didn't you say that the dean is just a lump of flesh and can't walk? Then why don't we help him grow a pair of legs and go while he's away?"
When he heard the dean's behavior, he remembered the potion. Fortunately, he had brought it with him this time, just in time to clear out his inventory. The potion was of low grade and had many restrictions. It had to be taken voluntarily. If he were in a contaminated area, he might not be able to use it.
Zhong Xingchi's words immediately aroused the interest of several people.
Gu Nian carefully took the glass bottle and said, "Didn't you say the levels of these pollutants are very low? The dean is quite large, so will the amount of medicine be insufficient?"
Zhong Xingchi chuckled: "This bottle of medicine should be enough, but the dean wants to experience the feeling of a mermaid. After using this potion, every step you take will be as light as a knife cut."
This is why this potion has never been used.
Gu Nian felt relieved: "As long as it works. With the dean's control, he will definitely agree as long as he can get him out of that office."
They don't even need to hide the side effects of the potion, the other party will definitely take it on their own initiative.
In fact, this was the best approach. With Qi Kai's strength, it wasn't impossible for them to eliminate the dean, but it would certainly come at a price. After eliminating the dean, there was still Director Zhou, and after Director Zhou, there was still the contaminated core. Sending the dean out to deal with Director Zhou was the most energy-saving approach.
Zhong Xingchi raised his eyebrows: "How about it, is it okay for me?"
Gu Nian gave him a thumbs up.
That's fine, but no one else can bring any whistles, crystal balls, or witches' potions.
It was a blessing in disguise, as long as it's useful.
Because of Zhong Xingchi's good habit of carrying various pollutants with him, the biggest problem of their trip was solved. In order to solve the core of the pollution as soon as possible, they decided to take action immediately.
The task of delivering the witch potion was given to Gu Nian. After all, she was the spokesperson appointed by the dean, and she could just go there to "present the treasure" under the pretext of reporting on the hospital's situation.
Qi Kai was a little worried. Every purifier was very precious. Although he did not follow into the dean's office, he did not stay too far away, ready to pick up Gu Nian at any time.
Soon, there was movement in the dean's office.
The entire floor trembled as if the earth were shaking. Then, with a loud bang and hearty laughter, the wall of the office facing the corridor collapsed under the surging blood vessels. A moment later, with repeated tremors, a huge figure emerged from the dean's office.
The other monsters also heard the noise upstairs and came out to check. When they found that the dean had actually come out of the office, they were all trembling with fear.
Director Zhou, who has a big head, looked extremely ugly.
Gu Nian stepped over the broken bricks on the ground and followed respectfully, "Headmaster, look, Director Zhou heard you were coming out and came to greet you happily."
Director Zhou glared at Gu Nian viciously, but soon smiled and greeted him, "Congratulations, Dean, on regaining your freedom. Our hospital finally has someone to rely on."
The dean snorted coldly and said nothing.
Gu Nian was not afraid and continued, "I see Director Zhou is a little impatient. Why not let him personally accompany you around the hospital? It will also reassure everyone."
When he heard the latter sentence, the eyes of the meat ball narrowed slightly. Indeed, it was time to let these people know who they relied on for their livelihood.
The dean looked at Director Zhou and said, "Let's go."
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Director Zhou forced a smile and nodded in agreement. He then turned to Gu Nian and was about to speak when she interrupted him.
"Don't worry, Dean. I will clean up the office."
The dean glanced at the messy office and finally nodded.
The huge mountain of flesh was split in two at the bottom, and two stubby legs supported the entire huge body as it staggered out. Director Zhou had no choice but to follow it.
After the huge noise died down, Qi Kai came out from his hiding place, and Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian also arrived with the nurses. They came to the door of the lounge in the dean's office.
In order to save time, Qi Kai directly metalized the door and opened it smoothly.
When I walked in, I found that it was a small room with a bed, a wardrobe, a massage chair, and some daily necessities. It looked like an ordinary lounge.
The nurse walked to the closet and twisted something, causing the closet to split in the middle. The nurse motioned for everyone to look over and said, "Look, the operating room is hidden in here."
Everyone went over and was stunned by the combination lock that was as complicated as a safe.
Gu Nian looked at the nurse and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet. How did you get in last time?"
The nurse quickly said, "Thanks to Mr. Li. He told me the password and told me that the operation would be performed here." After that, he stepped forward and operated the combination lock.
With a "click", the door opened.
Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian clapped their hands excitedly. They would be able to get out soon!
The nurse took the initiative to ask: "Shouldn't we go in? The body you are looking for is inside."
Qi Kai looked over and Gu Nian nodded slightly.
After everyone else went in, Gu Nian was the last one to walk to the closet. Before going in, she looked down at the soft white carpet on the floor.
