Chapter 218 Split the Hospital
When he heard the three words "Xu Zhiyan", Saizier was still in a daze.
Hearing the cold tone of his colleague NPC outside the confinement room, his first reaction was that Xu Zhiyan had also entered the game and defrauded the NPC outside the door.
But after three months of trying to catch the man, Saizier stopped talking.
Is Xu Zhiyan really in this copy?
No, that's unlikely. After three months of bad luck, Saiziye felt that it was impossible for him to be so lucky that he could meet Xu Zhiyan by simply entering a dungeon.
In the end, Saizier recalled what the NPC said and chose to give a conservative answer under pressure.
"A friend... owes me some money. I've been looking for him for three months but couldn't find him. I think he went abroad."
When Doctor Bai mentioned Xu Zhiyan outside the door, his tone was cold, but there was no less anger and surprise, and even a hint of imperceptible possessiveness. If he did not have rich experience in medical consultation, he might not have realized it.
If you think this way, no matter how you answer, it is likely to bring about unfavorable results.
After thinking about the three words "Xu Zhiyan", the Pope, who was already a little PTSD, decided to distance himself from the matter as much as possible.
This answer did not make Dr. Bai outside the door speak, but the barrage of comments went crazy with chatter.
[The Pope is really cautious. ]
[Players cannot tell NPCs about the game, so he said this to be safer.]
[What? Why would the Pope want to make a small fortune? ]
[…Is this news actually true? I only heard that the Pope has been entering dungeons more frequently recently, so I thought this news was a joke.]
[In fact, there were already clues. When he led people into the base before, he deliberately looked for relevant information about Xu Baiwan.]
[Damn, he is worthy of being the Pope. This black-hearted doctor has been bewitched. If he says now that he wants to arrest Xu Baiwan, he will definitely be locked up forever! ]
[Ah... Indeed, if I heard an NPC talk about someone in such a cold tone, I would definitely agree and say that person is my enemy.]
Sezier's answer was sincere.
He was born with a sincere effect, and his previous statements really sounded like they had nothing to do with the patients in the hospital.
After waiting for a long time without getting an answer, Saizier looked at the monsters that emerged again after the cracks in the surrounding walls. He gritted his teeth and activated his skills. After destroying them again, he came to the door with a small paper bag of medicine.
To show his sincerity, he knocked on the iron sheet of the small window in a gentle tone.
"Doctor Bai, we are colleagues. What do you think of my suggestion? If possible, I will give you the medicine now."
"One pill reduces the six hours." Doctor Bai's voice regained its composure.
“Shua——”
The small window on the door of the confinement room was opened a crack.
This time, Saizier failed to hear the emotion in the other person's tone. He calculated that it had been two hours since he entered the confinement room. If he was given two pills, he would have to stay here for another ten hours.
Assuming that the disease breaks out, there will be no problem for him to survive and pass away.
Forget it, just be careful not to get sick and get caught later.
Thinking that his fellow NPC outside the door had most likely turned into a terrifying monster, Saizier did not look outside casually.
He thought he had given a perfect answer, distinguishing the person the NPC was talking about from the person he knew, so as to minimize the impact.
After throwing the medicine out through the open gap in the door, Saizier returned to where he had been sitting before. The floor of the entire confinement room was warmed by the attack of the strong light skill.
"Bang--"
After the loud bang, something was stuck to the door.
Saizier glanced at his game panel.
[Reminder: Your fellow doctor has issued you a diagnosis, and your confinement time this time is twelve hours.]
After handing over the medicine, his expression was not very happy.
I didn't expect that this guy outside was so merciless. I have to find an opportunity to kill him.
Outside the confinement room, Dr. Bai got the medicine, said goodbye to the nurses, and left.
When he reached the door, he met the head nurse who came running over. He asked her for Sezier's dormitory number and confirmed that a nurse had already put today's patient's medicine in the bedside drawer.
Watching Dr. Bai leave, the guard at the detention room spoke in a much lower voice with a strange expression on his face.
"Hey, what did you mean when Dr. Bai asked the new doctor about his dormitory number?"
"I think he should get medicine for the new doctor. Isn't it said that this doctor is also ill? It seems that all sick people in the hospital will get free suppressive drugs."
"Hey, if you ask me, these sick people are so scary, we might as well dig a hole and bury them all."
"Who says it's not true? Doctor Bai is kind enough to help me get the medicine."
Sezier, who was waiting in the confinement room, did not notice that someone had set his sights on the drugs distributed by the system in his dormitory.
…
At the same time, Xu Zhiyan, who had just finished collecting human skins, leaned against the shadow of the side wall of the top floor door, trying to minimize his presence.
“Bang—bang—”
The door kept being banged against, and vague whispers of monsters could be heard from outside.
Because he had never seen what an NPC would look like after turning into a monster, Xu Zhiyan was very cautious. Even so, he couldn't help but hold his breath after seeing the monster break through the door.
The monster was waving a baton in his hand, and his sturdy waist was deformed by the belt. From this, one could guess that he was a security guard in the normal world.
But at this moment, it itself has become an unsafe existence...
The door panel, which had no skin left, was knocked away and quickly turned into a pool of rotten and smelly meat. The broken walls collapsed a lot, and a fishy liquid flowed out of it. A purple-skinned monster nearly three meters tall was waving an electric baton that flashed blue light in its hand, and its black blood vessels were almost bursting its thin skin.
The monster security guard's eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and from his wide-open mouth, turbid saliva similar to the cracked mouth on the wall continued to flow.
Xu Zhiyan hid in the blind spot, held his breath, and prayed that the other party would not rely on smell to search for the patient. He crouched down and walked towards the broken exit behind the monster security guard.
But he is obviously not a lucky man.
The monster security guard had just taken two steps when he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head abruptly, aiming at the thin player who had quietly walked to the door.
"call--"
Smelly hot air gushed out of its mouth, and it rushed over waving an electric baton!
In a hurry, Xu Zhiyan didn't bother to hide his steps. He flashed and strode towards the broken stairs, but the monster behind him attacked too fast and caught up with him in a flash.
“Bang—poof!”
There was a sharp crash, and the wall cracked and splashed black liquid all over the ground.
Xu Zhiyan was shocked and staggered, and almost fell into the huge mouth on the wall of the stairs. Fortunately, the long thorny tongue that kept sticking out was curled up in the mouth and motionless, as if it had just been numbed by the monster security guard's baton.
"Oh shit……"
He cursed inwardly, without looking back, and ran quickly downstairs.
In fact, the so-called destruction is not all caused by players attacking monsters. The parts destroyed by monsters will also be counted on the players to determine the onset of the disease.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was amazed.
[Wow, it's the familiar unlucky little millionaire! ]
[It's so funny. Whenever the nurse comes up to arrest someone, he can slip away smoothly. The monster security guard seems to have night vision ability. Is there anyone who can afford to open a monster encyclopedia for everyone to see? ]
[No, I'm not the one killing monsters, just take a look. ]
[Ah... I just saw someone post some information about monsters in someone else's live broadcast room. It mentioned that monster security relies on smell, monster tongues attack and destroy randomly and indiscriminately, and nurses rely on vision.]
[But now he has put on a little disguise. If he is not caught, he should not be put in solitary confinement. I hope Xiao Baiwan can get away before the illness ends. ]
[Did Xiao Baiwan get some information? He didn't attack the monsters right away. Did he know that these monsters are immortal? ]
[Good! Good! Good! Our chosen unlucky guy Xiao Baiwan is back! ]
[Pfft——You upstairs, why are you so mean! ]
It turns out that in five-star copies, the basic information of monsters will no longer be displayed to players.
Players can only rely on their own brains to gradually explore the monsters' weaknesses.
It is now dinner time. In the eyes of the sick players, the entire consultation building is like hell, filled with strange creatures.
The monster security guard was chasing closely behind him, and the surrounding monsters also chased after him after hearing the monster security guard's roar.
Xu Zhiyan, whose body was covered in blood, wore a mask and barely avoided the attack.
The originally secret escape, aided by the monster security guard's keen sense of smell, turned into an increasingly fierce chase. Not only the nurses and security guards, but even passing monsters of unknown species joined in.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiyan's body became much stronger after the vascular implant. Although he is not as strong as Jiang Huaique who can carry two people and run effortlessly, he is much faster than before.
After the upper limit of the mental threshold is increased, there are many more props that can be used. Although the skills are more auxiliary, there are still ways to deal with all the monsters.
But dealing with such a group of monsters would be too costly and not cost-effective.
Now I’m wearing a mask and my real face hasn’t been exposed. As long as I’m not caught, it won’t be exposed. There is no more cost-effective option than running away.
Only two minutes later, Xu Zhiyan had successfully run to the first floor.
At the main entrance, two monster security guards were ready to go.
After taking a quick glance, he decisively changed direction.
During the escape, a strange sound caught Xu Zhiyan's attention. He heard voices coming from the door on the right.
"Did something happen outside? It's so noisy..."
What? There is an NPC that can talk to you when you are sick? No, not necessarily. It could be a player, but the voice sounds like a child, not a player.
While thinking, Xu Zhiyan had already run more than ten meters away. He could only remember for the time being that it was the room on the right hand side of the first floor of the No. 6 consultation building.
“Boom—”
A fierce attack appeared from the ceiling, and he was forced to retract his thoughts and concentrate on running.
When he ran to the end of the corridor on the first floor, Xu Zhiyan wanted to smash the glass and jump out, but the glass in front of him seemed to have life, and a terrifying black shadow appeared on it.
His breath hitched, and he didn't dare to stop. He summoned the prop safety hammer and threw it at the glass, who was not sure whether it was dead or alive.
"Bang!"
“Crash——”
It is worthy of being called a special glass hammer.
The moment the safety hammer touched the glass surface, it smashed the glass and the dark shadow inside into pieces.
Seeing the shadow inside turn into a wisp of black smoke, Xu Zhiyan raised his leg and stepped over the window, muttering: "Is this a spirit? I haven't fed my slug yet..."
But the monster behind him was getting closer and closer, and he had no time to check and could only keep running.
The timing of this copy is confusing.
Even the time does not appear on the panel.
When he stepped out of the window and saw the scene outside, he paused and felt a little panicked.
Contrary to the assumption that only the building would be attacked by low-level monsters, the monsters outdoors were no less powerful. All the green plants in the flower beds turned into strange shapes, each with its ugly limbs raised, attacking him.
"Boom!!"
A fruit that fell from an unknown direction suddenly exploded, creating a hole in the already charred and sticky ground.
Xu Zhiyan clenched his hanging hands into fists and dared not move forward.
He didn't dare to walk towards the roads that were crowded in his memory, including the small garden he had been to before. It was after dinner now, and there should be many NPCs relaxing there.
Considering the layout of the hospital, he should have run towards the parking lot after escaping from the consultation building.
But the layers of green belt monsters before him disrupted his plans.
Do you want to fight?
But the monster will soon chase after him.
Choose solitary confinement directly?
No! Before the disease ends, all monsters will remain in attack mode. He can't understand the monsters' words, and the monsters can't understand him either.
It seems that the only option is to fight...
Just as Xu Zhiyan moved and began to carefully count his props, thinking about what to use to deal with the monster, a dark shadow emerged from the side of the road, rushed over, and knocked him away in the blink of an eye!
“BOOM!!”
When the impact came, Xu Zhiyan felt like he was going to be torn apart.
"……cough…"
He coughed violently and accidentally bit his tongue when he was hit, spitting out a little blood. Half of his arm was numb from being hit.
Reaching out and touching the breastplate hanging in his clothes, Xu Zhiyan began to panic.
Something is wrong!
He was afraid of death and had lost a lot of defensive items on his body. But the Human Skin Buddha, which had previously been able to resist the attacks of low-level monsters on the top floor, was now on strike?
The monster that knocked him away is much stronger than those low-level monsters on the top floor!
Xu Zhiyan didn't have time to think about why the defensive item was not triggered. He subconsciously summoned a dagger. Just as the attack was about to fall, the black shadow that knocked him away actually moved away from him.
"Um?"
He was slightly startled.
What's going on? Did this monster predict his attack in advance?
However, thanks to the other party moving away, he was finally able to see what the monster in front of him looked like.
Judging from the hat on the monster's head, in the normal world, it is a nurse. Like other monster nurses, it has purple skin all over its body and a particularly hideous head. However, its body is even more sturdy and powerful than that of the monster security guard, and it is more than one circle larger than other nurses, which makes people's scalp tingle.
Half of his body was almost numb from being hit, Xu Zhiyan was breathing heavily and looking at the other person vigilantly.
Could it be that this monster nurse has some ability to suppress the player's props? This is too perverted!
At this moment, the nurse suddenly stepped aside.
After seeing clearly what the other person's long black nails had drawn on the ground, Xu Zhiyan's eyes suddenly widened and his brain started working rapidly.
[X]
The monster nurse took a few steps back and pierced the ground with her sharp nails, leaving a big cross.
Just like... just like when I stopped Xu Zhiyan from turning on the light near the ward just now.
In an instant, Xu Zhiyan thought a lot.
He finally understood why he was knocked away in the end despite having so many life-saving skills.
If the monster nurse in front of him came to save him, had no killing intentions towards him, and had not launched any attacks, then the item's judgment would tend to be that [the user is in a safe state], thus not triggering passive protection.
Finally, he got some clues, and Xu Zhiyan spoke doubtfully.
"You, are you here to help me——Ah——"
But before he could finish his words, the monster nurse in front of him seemed to have noticed something. She suddenly jumped forward, picked up the human player, who was quite thin compared to her, and threw him on her shoulder, then ran away quickly.
In order to make her movements faster, the monster nurse only used her right hand to lightly pinch the ankle of the player on her shoulder, and used her other hand and legs to push off the ground with her feet, leaping dozens of meters away.
I have to say, it is countless times faster than humans running on two legs.
Xu Zhiyan, who was flipped over and pinned to the monster's back, passively enjoyed a ride on a high-speed monster car.
The scenery on both sides of the road began to recede madly.
It was quiet and windless outside, but the whistling sound was like two hair dryers buzzing in his ears.
Damn, my ears are going to go deaf, Xu Zhiyan thought.
He tried to speak, but because of the excessive bumps, the monster nurse's hard muscles hit his stomach from time to time, and he almost vomited.
“…Ugh…slow down…slow down…”
If he keeps running, he will lose half his life!
Hearing the sound, the monster nurse slowed down a little.
But this didn't make Xu Zhiyan feel much better, because it was the first time he found himself fainting from a monster.
…
More than ten minutes later, when Xu Zhiyan was put down to the ground by the monster nurse, his legs became weak and his face turned pale. He could no longer stand and sat down on the ground with a thud.
The end of the illness reminder also happened to sound.
His eyes were blurry and he felt dizzy. Before he could react, he heard the nurse slam the door and leave.
By the time Xu Zhiyan regained consciousness, he had returned to normal.
As the attack ended, the room became very quiet.
Xu Zhiyan, who had just experienced motion sickness for the first time in his life, was not feeling well. He bit his lip and leaned against the wall, as if he had died again. The hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, and there were tears in his eyes. Even his teardrop mole revealed an indescribable sense of fragility, which made people feel distressed just by looking at him...
In the live broadcast room, the audience was silent for a moment before they started to post comments one after another.
[…Little Millionaire, it’s really good. ]
[Ah, after watching Xiao Baiwan for so long, this is the first time I see him look so real and vulnerable.]
[+1 to the above, although I got carsick. ]
[Indeed... Xiao Baiwan's looks are attractive to both men and women, and even some NPCs in the dungeon can't escape this.]
[His appearance is always overshadowed by his actions. I used to not understand why the boss was always so stupid. Now I understand why the boss couldn't stand it when Xiao Baiwan pretended to be weak...]
[Fuck, I can’t stand it anymore! ]
[I crowdfunded one point to buy motion sickness medicine for Xiao Baiwan! ]
[? ? Damn, the person above, hahahaha, I'll add one point to buy medicine hahaha]
[Speaking of which, what about the one who always calls Xiao Baiwan his wife? Was he reported by Brother Chazi and had his account banned? Hahaha. ]
By the time the barrage returned to normal, Xu Zhiyan had finally gathered some strength.
The pungent smell of formaldehyde made his head ache. He closed his eyes and stuffed a lot of blood and mental strength-replenishing potions into his mouth. He soon recovered a lot.
A few minutes later, he stood up with unsteady steps, holding on to the door panel. He looked around and was stunned for a moment.
"This is……"
In front of me is a place similar to a specimen room.
Jars of various sizes were filled with transparent liquid, in which many organs were soaked.
Eyeballs, ears, hands, feet...
Without exception, all the bottles, big and small, were filled with human organs. Perhaps because they had been left there for too long, the organs had turned white.
The smell of formalin solution filled his nasal cavity, and Xu Zhiyan forced himself to look away from the soaked organs.
No wonder the monster nurse brought him here.
If any of the monsters that were chasing him just now were using their sense of smell to track him, then the pungent smell would be able to cover up his scent.
Now that the illness has ended and the security guards have returned to their human form, no one should come after him anymore.
After barely getting through the second round of attacks, Xu Zhiyan began to recall who the monster nurse who came to help him was... Could it be that he had seen her somewhere before?
He racked his brains and suddenly thought of a possibility.
Back in the sanatorium, he used the excuse of helping the nurses who were about to kill the boss but failed, and cheated Xinan out of an A-level item and Gan Mi out of 200,000 points...
No, don’t think about the points for now.
At that time, because the upper limit of his mental strength was too low, he did not use props to kill the monsters himself. Instead, he used a useless prop that could enhance the monsters' abilities on the monster nurses in the sanatorium. Among them, the nurse who devoured the most parts of the boss dean's body seemed to have regained some consciousness and thanked him.
Could it be that this copy is an upgraded version of the original sanatorium?
If the sanatorium is upgraded, then the monster nurse's prompts and assistance seem to become very reasonable!
Xu Zhiyan quietly pushed the door open and looked at both sides of the corridor. After making sure that there was no one there, he smiled at the table full of soaked human tissues.
Ever since he got the evil Buddha props, he realized that this kind of evil props are often because the offerings are expensive, and some people will do anything to obtain human tissue. The situation is very bad, which has led to many people selling human corpses on the black market at a high price.
Looking at the organs piled up in front of him, although there was no organ he wanted to slice, Xu Zhiyan's first reaction was to take them all away and package them for sale!
After summoning Little Brittle Bone, Xu Zhiyan started a new round of work as soon as his strength recovered.
"Although it may not look very new, in my experience, evil props are generally not very picky about offerings. If anyone wants to buy one, remember to contact me when I release a copy. You can also leave a message now."
While he was putting the soaked limbs into Yaya's backpack, he was advertising subtly.
"This backpack is really useful. I've been using it for a long time. Fortunately, it's not popular, so it's always cheap. It's also suitable for summons like Little Brittlebone."
Although he said this, Xu Zhiyan was roaring in his heart.
Damn it! Why isn't the DuckDuck backpack popular?
After he collected the Duck Duck backpack from the monsters in the safe house, he began to advertise it without any effort. But now everything in the safe house is selling well, except the Duck Duck backpack! Damn it!
Thinking of the backpacks still piled up in the warehouse, Xu Zhiyan sighed and continued packing.
In the live broadcast room, the audience also began to sigh.
[Alas, alas——Is the fragile and beautiful Xiao Baiwan just an illusion? ]
[Why! Why does Xiao Baiwan always start promoting products as soon as I notice his good looks! Why! ]
[However... there are really a lot of organs in this specimen room. My teammate seems to have an evil item that needs an eyeball. He hasn't used it for several months. I'll forward it to him later. ]
[Woo woo woo woo, you dog profiteer! Give me back my fragile and beautiful beauty.]
[But speaking of which, what is this place? Why are there so many specimens? Would a mental hospital need so many specimens? ]
[I just paused watching this, it seems to be a personal storage space rented by a doctor... Damn, I remember now! [Screenshot.jpg] Is the blurry text on it white? ]
[…How many doctors with the surname Bai are there in this hospital? ]
A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan emptied the entire specimen room.
It was already night time, he dusted off his hands and left the room.
New game prompts keep popping up, disturbing people.
Xu Zhiyan frowned as he left the sparsely populated building and tiptoed into the darkness.
