Chapter 224 Split the Hospital
The lobby of Yunshan Old House.
When the heir is not in the safe house, the place returns to its former desolate state. The monsters are in a hurry, trying to do their jobs well, for fear of angering the moody owner of the safe house.
Especially after the previous onset mode went black, Xu Zhiyan was suspected to have been injured by the slice.
The ghost could hardly control himself, and the entire hall of the safe house experienced a baptism of power and almost turned into ruins.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiyan escaped quickly and peace returned to the safe house.
…
[Mr. Guishen, before starting a new project, I need to confirm with you again, are you really determined to do this? ]
There was a translucent hexagonal panel next to the ghost's right hand, which displayed Asa's words, but there was no expression on his face after he read it.
"Any questions?"
[No, but the cost-effectiveness of doing so is not high. ]
Asa knows very well what his new master cares about most, so when making suggestions, he will also mention the corresponding people.
[According to calculations, the success rate of the new project is extremely low, and the input and output are not proportional. If Mr. Xu knew about this, there is a 79% probability that he would not agree.]
"Then don't let him know."
[You said that Mr. Xu has a higher priority than you. He can view all project information. Asa cannot and will not stop him. Do you want to adjust Mr. Xu's priority? ]
At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere had reached freezing point.
The ghost did not speak again, his fingertips resting on the sofa tapping the armrest occasionally. Although the sound was not loud, the monsters passing by in the hall became more nervous and dared not even make a sound of breathing.
After a long silence.
Asa finally gave in after realizing that he could not change his new master's decision.
[Mr. Ghost, do you think this is worth it? ]
Projects with unequal input and return should not be evaluated, and based on its understanding of Xu Zhiyan, the person with the highest authority, the other party would definitely not agree to it.
"worth."
But the ghost answered without any hesitation.
As a system, once the decision makers have made a plan, it can only execute it.
[Okay, then I will change the name of the material column next. Now I need you to determine the project start time.] It no longer dissuades.
Seeing the question displayed on the screen, the ghost hesitated for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow."
After saying this, the sound of fingers tapping the armrest disappeared into the void along with the ghosts and gods.
There were relieved hisses from the monsters in the hall.
Without the ghosts and gods, Asa's light screen began to dim. At this moment, a line of code that did not belong to it appeared on the light screen.
[Fuck! You are awesome, brother! How dare you challenge Mr. Ghost! Is your chip made of titanium alloy?]
It's a safe house system.
As one of the only three guys in the entire safe house that can run around, it has just watched the conversation between Guishen and Asa. It is very anxious and wants to know what the master and the new system have agreed on that even its own host cannot know.
[What are you talking about? How can I know? We are all systems, so I must know it!] It was almost dying of curiosity.
[This is a research and development plan, but currently only Mr. Guishen and Mr. Xu can view it. ]
Asa didn't refuse outright, but the meaning was obvious.
[It’s okay! Just tell me what you’re talking about, no need to show me the backstage!] I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been with Xu Zhiyan for too long, but the safe house system has learned this trick to perfection.
【……】
As an advanced artificial intelligence, Asa's refusal was compiled and turned into a question.
[If I tell you, will you tell Mr. Xu? ]
This question is full of implications.
If it was another system that reported it, then it would be none of its business, after all, the output and consumption of this project are very disproportionate.
[Of course not! Don't worry! How could I betray you!]
The safe house system immediately stated that it would never tell anyone about it.
[But if you, I, and Mr. Ghost all knew about it, and Mr. Xu was the only one kept in the dark, wouldn't that be pitiful? ]
Asa guides the silly and sweet system without leaving any trace.
[…Hmm, it does seem a little bad.]
Sure enough, the system was set up.
Asa was very generous when he heard this answer.
[I know you are a loyal system, so I won't be angry if you tell Mr. Xu that I changed the name of the project material.]
[Huh? Really?]
[Of course it’s true, but I still have a lot of things to prepare now, let’s talk next time. ]
The goal was achieved and Asa quickly logged off.
“Pah!”
The translucent panel disappears, heralding Asa's return to the Nightmare District.
The system left in the safe house was confused for a while, and suddenly realized that the other party said so much but did not explain the specific content of the project!
The ghosts and gods were gone, and Asa also disappeared.
The system looked at the monsters coming and going in the safe house and missed Xu Zhiyan a little.
Although its host often talks to it in a caring tone, he will discuss everything with it.
[I hate the Riddler the most!]
After cursing, the system hummed and turned on the live broadcast of its host, watching it with relish and regaining its happiness.
In the Split Hospital copy.
When Bai Jin returned to the office, he saw Xu Zhiyan sitting on his stool with a bunch of flowers in his hand, which he was trying his best to stuff into the vase.
The vase is too small and there are too many flowers.
The handsome young man had a ferocious expression on his face, which showed that he was stuffing it in very hard.
The desk was extremely messy, with cut flower stems and broken leaves scattered all over the table, and many water droplets on the originally clean table top.
It's a look that a mysophobia person can't stand.
Hearing someone push the door, Xu Zhiyan looked up. After confirming that it was slicing, he smiled and greeted, "Are you done? Sit down and take a rest. I'll be ready soon."
He spoke very naturally.
In just one hour, he had adjusted his mentality, as if he was the master of this department.
Bai Jin paused as he pushed the door open, frowning, not knowing whether to come in. When he saw his new assistant was so energetic, he suddenly couldn't ask the questions that had been in his mind.
After hesitating for a while, he stood at the door and asked doubtfully.
“Where do flowers come from?”
"You mean this? This was given to me when I went to the nurses' station to give them presents."
Xu Zhiyan finally inserted the last carnation. There were more than twenty flowers inserted into the mouth of the vase, which was as thick as his wrist. The vase was about to burst.
After that, he took out a ballpoint pen with a bunny cap from his pocket: "This one is for you."
"……Thanks."
Bai Jin walked forward, took the ballpoint pen, looked at the cute cartoon rabbit head on it and Xu Zhiyan who was smiling sweetly in front of him, and his questions about the specimen room were stuck in his throat.
Xu Zhiyan was smiling, his expression flawless, but his palms had begun to sweat.
Ten minutes ago, when he went to the nurses to get information, he learned that Dr. Bai's private specimen room had been robbed. After further questioning, he got some information.
The old building and the specimen room were emptied last night...
Good boy! It turns out that he stole the slices from the warehouse yesterday?
After receiving the news, Xu Zhiyan's first reaction was to run.
Then, with the nurse's reminder, he discovered that there was no surveillance in the specimen room, and no one knew who had stolen the things in the specimen room...
With enough information, Xu Zhiyan decided to go all out and simply came back to face the slicing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, he stood up, bowed to the slice in a pretentious manner, and started talking nonsense.
"Thank you very much for taking care of me last night, Dr. Bai. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done. But my condition was so bad yesterday that I was worried about hurting you, so I left first..."
However, Bai Jin is not so easy to fool.
"Leave through the seventh floor window?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Well, the friend who came to pick me up is a rich second-generation who has a flying vehicle. I was worried that the people who came last night would embarrass you, so I left first." Xu Zhiyan explained briefly, and without caring whether the other party believed it or not, he raised his head and stared at the slice with anticipation.
"By the way! Did you receive my gift, Doctor Bai? Because I knew you needed internal organs, I told my friends about it. I didn't expect someone would actually find it, but he said he picked it up from the trash can next to the hospital entrance..."
As he spoke, he scratched his hair, as if he didn't know how to continue, and his words became much more vague.
"… probably the trash can on the right side of the hospital entrance. He said that when he picked it up, there were only two bottles filled with internal organs. I don't know who threw them there."
With a few words, he completely took himself out, as if he were really something he had picked up.
In the live broadcast room, the audience almost fainted from laughing.
[Hahahahahahahahaha! I am dying of laughter! ]
[Edit! Keep editing! Edit as much as you can!]
[So did Dr. Bai believe it? He didn’t seem to believe it completely.]
[What if he doesn't believe it? Xiao Baiwan has made all the logic work, so Dr. Bai has no choice but to believe it. ]
[Hahahaha, but are ballpoint pens really that easy to use? I see Xiao Baiwan is like a pen boy in the hospital, delivering things wherever he goes, and the medical NPCs are all very nice to him.]
[Of course! No matter how many pens you have in the hospital, they are not enough!]
[Speaking of which, being able to take out so many ballpoint pens in the game at will must be worth a lot of money. Xiao Baiwan is really generous. ]
[Upstairs? Did you forget that he would empty the supermarket in the dungeon? ]
It is consistent with the audience's speculation.
After Xu Zhiyan finished talking nonsense about the whole story, Dr. Bai asked a few brief questions, but he fooled him all of them.
Bai Jin listened to the impeccable answer and said nothing more.
His intuition told him that the assistant in front of him was highly suspicious, but the other party's statement was flawless, even telling the specific location of the trash can in the hospital. He couldn't convict the other party based solely on the gift last night.
In the end, Dr. Bai just nodded and locked the organs brought to his office in the department's cabinet.
The case of the theft in the specimen room has finally been temporarily separated from Xu Zhiyan.
A few minutes later, Dr. Bai cleaned the table again, threw away the garbage, and placed the vase, which had no aesthetic value because it was too full, on the windowsill. During this time, his new assistant seemed to be blind and did not do any work.
Only after seeing Dr. Bai finish cleaning up the mess in the department did Xu Zhiyan speak reluctantly.
"Doctor Bai, what should I do during the day? Just stay in the department?"
Considering that he might encounter an NPC who would keep warning him when he went out, Xu Zhiyan was very reluctant. He felt that although the Slice in front of him was a sex addict and a pervert who liked to touch internal organs, once he accepted this setting, it would be okay to get along with him.
"The specimen was stolen, so my experiment has to be put on hold."
Xu Zhiyan's dream was shattered.
But he was a doctor's assistant after all, so he had to cheer himself up and accompany the surgeon on ward rounds.
Fortunately, when Dr. Bai gave him a new identity, he also knew that he was a novice, so his job was nothing more than recording medical data.
Doctor Bai can do the more difficult tasks himself, so Xu Zhiyan is happy to have some free time.
The inpatient department of the hospital is home to patients who require long-term treatment or physical conditioning, and the first floor of each consultation building is a ward prepared for special patients.
During the ward rounds and patient consultation, Xu Zhiyan discovered that the slices in front of him actually had some skills and had many patients under his name.
Occasionally, nurses and patients' families would see them and even leave a few words of sincere praise.
"Doctor Bai is really dedicated to his duties!"
"Yes, Dr. Bai comes every day..."
"This patient was previously assigned to another doctor, right? Why is he assigned to Dr. Bai as well?"
"Yes..."
Xu Zhiyan never expected that after he entered the escape game, he would actually find time to receive a social animal experience card. It was obviously not a difficult job, but because he was not familiar with it, he was in a panic.
Because we were delayed too long in the morning, it was lunch time an hour later.
When Dr. Bai was about to go back to rest, he was suddenly dragged into a nearby bathroom by his assistant.
In order to save medicine, Xu Zhiyan directly pulled the person into the cubicle and looked over eagerly.
"Doctor Bai, I seem to be ill."
Ever since the incident of emptying the specimen room was exposed, he was sure that Slice would not be angry anymore and became more unscrupulous.
In the narrow space, a crack appeared in the human skin on the door panel. Under pressure, the monster inside did not dare to show up and was as quiet as a chicken.
After a while, Xu Zhiyan heard Slice's answer.
"Why are you here?"
Although the bathroom cubicles in the private hospital were clean and relatively spacious, it was still a bit crowded with two grown men inside. Bai Jin couldn't stand the extreme cleanliness obsession.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and looked at the assistant in front of him with a strange look.
…Paranoia and sex addiction.
What disease is the other party talking about?
Considering a certain possibility, Dr. Bai's occupational disease came back. His expression softened a lot and he comforted his patient in a gentle voice.
"For some things, you can't be too hasty. Mental illness cannot be cured in a day or two. Don't suppress yourself too much in the beginning." After saying that, he was worried that the assistant in front of him would be shy or embarrassed, so he added another sentence.
"I won't tell anyone. It's just the two of us here."
Thinking of the clingy handsome young man when he was ill yesterday, the two of them were squeezed in a small space again, and Dr. Bai actually felt a little unbearable.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Zhiyan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You...you really won't tell anyone?" he asked tentatively, his tone cautious, as if he was about to do something shameful.
Doctor Bai's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he turned his face away, and his voice was barely audible.
"Um."
Although the environment here is not very good, if Xu Zhiyan wants to... it is not impossible. Thinking of the things that make people hot, Dr. Bai turned sideways, as if he was making some mental preparations.
After all, doing this kind of thing in the bathroom cubicle really challenges his bottom line of cleanliness.
But usually, patients with mental illness will develop a certain degree of self-loathing after the onset of the disease.
As a doctor, he always felt that he should first stabilize the patient's emotions, encourage him to not reject others, accept his own body, accept the reality and abandon fear, so that the condition can gradually improve.
Forget it, his mysophobia shouldn't come before the patient's health.
Dr. Bai, who had just prepared himself mentally and had not yet figured out how to customize a treatment plan if the other party's sexual addiction was really serious, heard a strange sound.
Turning around, Dr. Bai discovered that the young man did not take off his clothes or masturbate as he had imagined.
The young man in a white assistant coat, holding a small utility knife, was scratching on the door and wall of the toilet cubicle...?
"What are you doing?"
Doctor Bai didn't understand and could only speak in confusion.
However, during the outbreak, Xu Zhiyan, who was taking advantage of the time to peel off human skin, did not even turn his head, and continued to cut the human skin, answering casually.
"Didn't you tell me not to suppress myself? I can't control myself at all when I have a paranoid attack!"
With Dr. Bai's natural machine for suppressing monsters, Xu Zhiyan planned to quickly dig out some human skins and take them away before the other party was still conscious and turned into a pure monster!
At the end, he said seriously, "You said you wouldn't tell anyone!"
“…”
Doctor Bai was silent.
He never expected that Xu Zhiyan would suffer from a paranoid attack.
The other party didn't want to do something with him, or simply wanted to find a place where no one would disturb him to pick at the wall...
After lunch break, the two worked together until the afternoon.
During this period, Xu Zhiyan fell ill three times. Each time, he would take Bai Jin with him to find an empty room and start peeling off the walls.
At first Dr. Bai refused.
But his little patients would always come up to him, tugging at his sleeve with a pitiful look on their faces, with tears almost coming out of their pretty eyes, making it impossible to refuse them.
After many times, Dr. Bai gradually realized that he was the one being played around with.
Just before getting off work, Xu Zhiyan experienced his last attack of the day, but this time he found that no matter how much he shouted, Slice always had a cold and half-smiling look on his face, and was unwilling to be his tool.
In desperation, he could only speak tentatively.
"Doctor Bai, I have some prepared internal organs here. I'll give them to you tomorrow."
"I'll prepare the medicine."
Doctor Bai nodded, looking very businesslike. He had already expected that the assistant in front of him would use the other can of offal to offset the cost of the medicine, so he simply did not ask for it, otherwise he would appear to be very stupid.
Xu Zhiyan choked.
He touched the invisible Popular King cloak on his back, and looked at the slice in front of him that was almost completely transformed into a monster.
Doctor Bai's monster transformation time seemed to be cumulative. He had been observing it before, but just now he was finally able to confirm that with each of the several attacks during the day, the opponent's monster state was getting worse.
But what is most confusing is that Dr. Bai, who is in a monster state today, seems to be different from the monster last night?
Although many parts of the opponent's body were still covered with fine and hard black scales, its shape had not changed much, especially the eyes. Unlike the scarlet eyes that had lost their minds last night, today only the whites of the eyes were left, which looked a bit scary.
Xu Zhiyan, who had been taking the opportunity to collect human skins for a day, wanted to give up, but he just found an empty room, which was very big and had a lot of skins.
Damn, it's so hard to decide.
A few seconds later, Xu Zhiyan made up his mind and lifted his clothes up, revealing his flat and white belly.
"In exchange, Dr. Bai, would you like to feel my internal organs?"
He moved forward, grabbed the monster Bai Jin's palm with his other hand, and gently pressed it against his abdomen. The cold scales made Xu Zhiyan shiver uncontrollably.
The monster's heavy breathing could be heard in my ears.
After a long time, Xu Zhiyan felt a scaly hand touching his belly, and then it left reluctantly.
"You are having an attack now."
Doctor Bai's voice was muffled. After he finished speaking, he quickly walked to the door and turned his back.
"Call me when you're done."
"Okay~"
The plan was successful, and Xu Zhiyan's bright smile returned to his face.
During the day, he discovered that this doctor unexpectedly followed the rules and had been doing his job as a doctor very well. He was very popular in the hospital and had countless loyal fans.
Moreover, Doctor Bai himself always puts the patients first. He guessed that the other party would not do anything to him during the illness as long as they could still communicate. Well, although the eye-catching thing was sticking high before the monster was sliced and turned around, but as guessed, as long as it did not completely turn into a monster, Doctor Bai's behavior was still normal.
In the live broadcast room, the audience expressed envy as they watched Xu Zhiyan happily cutting human skin.
[The pure love warrior fell to the ground! ]
[Dr. Bai, really, I am crying! I swear to God, he truly loves Xiao Baiwan! ]
[It was so funny! ! Did you see him just sending a message to Dr. Liu? When Xiao Baiwan was digging at the wall, my view was stuck and I saw it. ]
[[图片.jpg]Hahaha, he actually asked Dr. Liu how to tell if he was being mentally controlled! ]
[Hahahahahahahahaha self-doubt]
[But Xiao Baiwan is really bold. From my perspective, the doctor has become a monster, but he still dares to let the other party touch his belly. He is not afraid that the doctor will go crazy and stab him again! ]
[Forget it, judging from Dr. Bai's current performance, his chances of committing suicide are higher than killing Xiao Baiwan! ]
When the attack was over, the two quietly left the empty room.
Just as Dr. Bai was about to rush to the next ward, his phone rang.
"Hello? It's me."
"Caught the attack? Okay."
"Lock him in first, I'll be there soon."
After a few brief words, Dr. Bai hung up the phone and handed the task of recording the data for the last few rooms to Xu Zhiyan who was standing beside him. He also explained that a new ward had been arranged for the other party and asked Xu Zhiyan to go find the head nurse himself.
"Hey? Where are you going? Can't I follow you?"
"If you go, there will be no medicine to take."
"Bye! Go early and come back early!"
Looking at Bai Jin's hurriedly leaving back, Xu Zhiyan had no choice but to act like a social animal and walked into the next ward.
When he checked the last room, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Are you the new doctor?"
The person who spoke was a little boy about six years old. He was sitting alone in the ward with a bunch of storybooks open in front of him.
Xu Zhiyan remembered this voice.
When he had the disease before, he couldn't communicate with any monsters. But when he ran to the vicinity of consultation building No. 3, he heard the voice of a child asking what happened outside.
Quickly flipping through the medical data manual, Xu Zhiyan realized that he was in Consultation Building No. 3.
He showed no sign of anything unusual, walked forward, and planned to ask about the patient's condition as usual. However, when he glanced at the story book in front of the little patient, he inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu.
On the unfolded pages, the author of the picture book wrote a series of stories in cute fonts.
[The wishing tree is the most mysterious tree in the world. It is born only in wishes. It will only appear when enough people have wishes.]
[Ah, midnight has come, and the wishing tree has blossomed!]
[Those who have unfulfilled wishes can find the wishing tree by following the scent of the flowers! Once you find it, it will fulfill all your wishes...]
Midnight, blossom, scent.
When these three elements came together, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but think of the NPC patient he met in the garden last night.
The other party followed the sickening aroma and walked to the center of the garden with the desire to go home.
…
In the solitary confinement cell, Sezier sat on the narrow and damp floor with a complicated expression, his facial features wrinkled together.
He didn't understand. When he received the notification of the outbreak, he immediately found an empty room without leaving any trace, locked himself in, and killed the monster as quickly as possible, making sure not to make any sound.
But why!
Why was it that before his illness was over, a group of monster nurses rushed in from outside the door and sent him to the detention building without saying a word!
“Squeak—”
The small window on the door was opened, but the light was blocked by the figure, and Saizier heard Dr. Bai's voice.
"Good evening, Dr. Sai. I'm glad you're here to deliver medicine again."
Hearing this, Saiziye's eyes darkened.
Damn it! The medicine he just received from the dean hadn't even warmed up yet, and this black-hearted NPC showed up on time!
