Chapter 233 Split the Hospital
As expected, Xiaoliu's wallet was emptied and he gained peace of mind.
"Thank you for your patronage."
After Xu Zhiyan finished collecting the points, he helped the player up with a smile, but he found that the player in front of him didn't seem to be well.
Although Xiaoliu's gaze stabilized after he paid the money, when he raised his head, he felt blood gushing out of all his seven orifices, as if he had suffered some kind of severe mental trauma.
Feeling the growing aftermath of the attack, Xu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to serve the new customers first.
The small garden is located between the consultation building and the inpatient department.
Xu Zhiyan carried the man to the door of the outermost consultation building and shouted inside: "Is anyone there? We need help here!"
However, until he walked in, none of the nurses who usually walked in a hurry appeared. After turning around twice, Xu Zhiyan found that not only the nurses, but even the patients had disappeared.
The entire hospital was empty.
Casually pushing open the door of an empty clinic, Xu Zhiyan summoned Xiao Cugu, and together they helped Xiaoliu, who was in a somewhat unwell condition, to the bed.
“…That’s a bit bad.”
He frowned, looked deep in expression, and sighed deeply.
Xiao Cu Gu, who was wiping the blood off Xiao Liu, heard this, nodded in agreement, and raised the small sign.
[Master (crossed out) Brother Xu, are you worried about Doctor Bai?]
Just the aftermath of the attack was enough to shock an ordinary player to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices and becoming unconscious. How terrifying is Doctor Bai when he is awake!
Moreover, after Dr. Bai was attacked, the NPCs in the hospital disappeared. Strength represents everything. Does this indicate that the slices of the ghost master are related to the copy system? Or is there another cooperative relationship?
Little Gritty's brain began to think frantically.
It represents the monster in the safe house!
Every time after leaving the dungeon, it will review the situation from the monsters' perspective together with the snail housekeeper Liuliu, and strive to become a more useful existence in the next dungeon!
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan shook his head after seeing the sign.
"No, I'm not worried about Dr. Bai and Lao Tie."
He pointed at the half-conscious Xiao Liu, his eyes showing a little distress: "Isn't this a hospital instance? Why can't we use some medical resources for free? He is so poor, if I heal his confusion, how much should I charge?"
Although he really wanted to earn the Iron Knight's money immediately, Xiao Liu paid the money in a daze while his consciousness was blurred.
It is not the style of a conscientious businessman to dump his customers everywhere!
"As for Doctor Bai and Lao Tie, they should have to fight for a while, right?" Xu Zhiyan waved his hand and made a rough assessment of the garden battlefield.
He had personally experienced the strength of the Iron Knight's attacks.
Even though he was beaten badly in the end and there was some performance element in it, the opponent's attack was real, and he could feel that the Iron Knight did not intend to kill him at that time, but was looking for an opportunity to kill him with one blow. He didn't know if he wanted to give him the pleasure of completing the Pope's order.
"Forget it, let's just give Xiao Liu a free treatment and wait and see how the battle develops over there."
We have to wait until the Iron Knight finds out that Dr. White is very powerful before we can sell insurance!
Little Grit was silent.
In the live broadcast room, the barrage was silent for a long time, and the audience had mixed feelings.
[…Xiao Baiwan, he really has a strong sense of professional ethics.]
[Yes, although fifty thousand is too much...]
[Xiao Baiwan could have just run away with the money, but he actually sent the patient to the hospital. He really made me cry! ]
[Is this the reason why something is expensive as the legend goes? ]
[Upstairs! Withdraw! Don’t let Xiao Baiwan see this sentence when he reviews the game! Damn, wouldn’t it be more justified for him to take the money after seeing this?! ]
[Oh my god, I thought he was worried about Dr. Bai.]
【? ? ? ? Didn't the person above go to the soldering iron live broadcast room to take a look? The battle was really, quite tragic. If Xiao Baiwan didn't go to the soldering iron room, he might be gone. 】
[What! I'll go check it out! ]
Compared to Xu Zhiyan who was dawdling here waiting for the entry time, the audience in the live broadcast room had the right to jump channels, so they naturally didn't have to wait anxiously. Many people jumped into the Iron Knight's live broadcast room.
As soon as they entered, someone noticed that the screen from the main perspective was red.
[What the hell? How did he become famous? Has anyone gotten into Laotie’s live streaming room? ]
[It's a mental infection. All the perspectives in the live broadcast room are blurred with a layer of red. Nothing can be seen clearly! Only the old iron can see something from the first-person perspective. ]
[…Fuck, I advise you not to watch this.]
[No, I want to see it. The more you say it, the more I want to see it!!]
[Crap, crap, just take a look. You deserve this for being stubborn. Don’t vomit after reading this! ]
Human beings have always been curious, and after this conversation, everyone switched to the Iron Knight's first-person perspective live broadcast room.
As soon as they got there, everyone noticed the problem.
Although the Iron Knight's first-person perspective is visible, it is also covered with a layer of red mist, as if his eyes are bloodshot and he sees the world through a blood mist.
She changed her weapon. In her hand, she held an upright shield that emitted golden light, improving her defense while healing herself. Her main weapon, the mace, lay twisted on the ground like a piece of rubbish. It was hard to tell that it was originally an SS-level, high-priced weapon.
It was a little dark around. This was because after the skill Iron Wall was used, a shield wall composed of hundreds of giant shields was formed, blocking out light and attacks.
“Boom—Boom—”
The giant shield trembled, enduring the attacks again and again, but only faint cracks appeared on it.
"Bang!"
The Iron Knight placed his shield on the ground, and with two fingers broken off, he trembled as he reached out for the potion with his left hand. A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, along with a lot of wriggling gray infected organisms. They crawled out twistedly, as if they had just reveled in a human body.
However, the cracks in the shield wall indicated that she didn't have much time to rest.
The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked and their speed in leaving messages slowed down a lot.
[Fuck! This! Did we defeat some hidden BOSS? ]
[It’s amazing that they could beat the Iron Knight like this…]
[Doctor Bai, no, I don't think it's an ordinary doctor! It's too scary! The Iron Knight's initial attack should have been intended to kill him with one blow, and then "Puff--" it smashed Doctor Bai's head! ]
[?! What the hell? What is attacking now? ]
[The moment his head was smashed, Doctor Bai's body began to change. Ahhhh, it was the kind of spliced monster that makes people's sanity value drop wildly OTZ. I don't know how to describe it. Let's go to other perspectives and watch it later.]
[I glanced at the side, and it was probably a mosaic monster of a few million, stacked a hundred times! ]
[Look at that shit, just one look will stack a confusion buff, the Iron Knight eats precious medicine to stay sane. ]
[What kind of evil god is this! I'll lose my mind after just one look at it!]
[So Dr. Bai is in charge of the monsters' sanity? Is he going to release everything now? Help! ]
Just when the live broadcast room was chatting enthusiastically, all players in the dungeon received urgent task reminders.
[Warning! Someone has triggered the NPC special mode! The copy is falling into the space layer! ]
[The special repair mechanism of the copy is activated. ]
[Try to repair the copy...]
【Repair failed.】
[Try to repair the copy again...]
On the panel, the copy repair prompts filled an entire page, and the anxiety of the game system could be felt through the screen.
But it was of no use.
Hundreds of repair messages later, in the blink of an eye, the copy hadn't improved at all.
Players were forced to receive rare special mission prompts.
[The Split Hospital is in a serious crisis. Players please pay attention. If the mission fails, everyone will be devoured. ]
Before talking about the task content, the system first emphasized its importance.
[Special Mission: Restore NPC to Normal]
[Note: To stop the NPCs in the hospital garden from continuing to riot, please use all means to suppress them.]
[Tip: This NPC is in a complicated situation. After his superficial rationality is shattered, the special monster inside will be released. Players should try not to look directly at him.]
[The system can only provide basic protection for players, ensuring that you will not be mentally polluted if you get close. ]
[Reward: SS-level item (1 piece) + reward time 300s]
[Special Tip: If the mission fails, everyone will be swallowed by the NPC! ]
Different from the black font of ordinary tasks.
Even the fonts of special missions are red, bold and large, which makes people see the anxiety of the system at a glance. Moreover, there is no killing in the content of the mission. Even the system thinks that players cannot kill special NPCs.
…
Laundry room on the 17th floor of the inpatient department.
When Song Longchuan saw the special mission, he was holding a new repairman uniform top in his hand. The Jian Fan siblings and the bandaged man next to him were also holding different clothes in their hands.
This was the hidden branch they had obtained earlier.
Obtaining clothes for different identities can trigger special hidden identity missions after dusk. Special identity night missions will receive double rewards.
Judging from the prompts, in addition to patients, players should also be able to obtain the other six identities: doctor, nurse, repairman, physician assistant, patient's family member, and dormitory manager.
It’s a pity that their rhythm was disrupted by the illness, and in the end they could only get the lowest level and most restrictive patient status.
Lu Fan, who was rummaging through clothes in the laundry room, pulled his head out of the drum and asked with a frown.
"Ah, Brother Longchuan, do you want to take care of this special mission?"
Without waiting for Song Longchuan to answer, Lu Jian frowned and said to his sister in a deep voice: "You will die no matter what."
Lu Fan said impatiently: "It's just a special NPC that went berserk. If we were the only ones in this dungeon, that would be fine, but the Pope and the Iron Knight are here too. What if they finish the mission first?"
She also had a certain degree of understanding of the Iron Knight's combat capabilities, and did not think that there would be any NPCs in the dungeon that the other side could not deal with.
Song Longchuan put away his clothes and shook his head, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
"Let's go and have a look. Generally speaking, an NPC that can cause the entire instance to move is not too weak. Anyway, the system only said to suppress it, and there is only one reward. Maybe we can intercept the Iron Knight."
Hearing this, Lu Fan's eyes lit up and he quickly packed up the nurse uniform he had just chosen.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
She couldn't wait to cut off the Iron Knight's beard! She still remembered the humiliating experience of helping Song Longchuan to provoke the Pope and having his arm broken by the Iron Knight.
It would be great if we could turn the tables this time!
Seeing that Song Longchuan was still choosing, Lu Fan casually opened the two washing machines, put the clothes inside into the bag without even looking at them, and urged him loudly: "Let's go! There must be all kinds of clothes in these two big drums, don't choose!"
Song Longchuan was keen on seeing the Pope suffer a setback, so he casually threw away the uniform in his hand after hearing this.
The identity uniforms for the side quest must be a complete set. He searched for a long time but couldn't find any. Lu Fan had just put away a lot of clothes, so there must be a complete set of uniforms among them.
The four of them no longer cared about the messy laundry room, nor did they realize that the NPCs on the road had disappeared.
On the way, Lu Jian seemed to realize something and suddenly spoke.
“The attacks have stopped.”
Due to the large number of people, the onset times were always staggered, and the subsequent onset times were getting longer and longer, so the four people rarely matched completely. Even if they did not get sick at the same time occasionally, it would not exceed an hour.
After hearing this, Song Longchuan waved his hands and explained: "It should be because of the special NPC in the dungeon. If this disease is imposed on the player by the system, then at this time, the system will put all its efforts on repairing it..."
"Come to think of it, the repair of the five-star instance has not been able to completely get the NPC back on track, so this NPC may be very powerful."
He added, his tone hinting with eagerness.
If it was a special NPC that wasn't that strong, it would probably be killed by the Iron Knight soon, but if this one was strong enough, he might actually be able to intercept it!
Song Longchuan's good mood did not last long.
Because he met the dusty and dishevelled Saizier.
The ground beneath my feet kept shaking, the dim sky seemed to be still, and the sound of collision could be faintly heard from behind the building.
The four of them met the lone Pope at the side of the last building in front of the garden.
Just one more turn and they would reach the garden.
Saizier was a little confused.
When the confinement was temporarily lifted, he thought that the Iron Knight had found a way to get him out, but before long the system was almost urging him to do a special mission.
What made him uneasy was that after leaving the confinement room, no matter what props he used, he could not contact the Iron Knight.
Until a minute ago, he got a hint from Zoffy using a special communication item.
[Don't come]
This... this is totally unlike Zoffy's tone.
His Iron Knight was very respectful to him. Although he didn't talk much, he always considered him. Now, Saizier was a little unsure whether this was some messed up prop that Xu Zhiyan had created again, or whether Zoffy had really encountered a crisis and had no time to type other words.
Finally, Sezier decided to go to the garden and take a look.
"Hey! Isn't this the useless little cookie Saiziye? Why isn't the Iron Knight tied to you? Isn't she afraid that you will be beaten up if you are left alone?"
Song Longchuan's ridicule appeared.
He was a little surprised to see that Saiziye ignored him.
"What's wrong with you today? You didn't even refute it? Are you in a hurry to find your dog?"
Sai Qiye stopped, turned around and rolled his eyes at Song Longchuan: "Get lost."
"Hehehe, you're angry!"
"Bang!"
A beam of light came over, but was steadily resolved by the skill that Lu Jian released with his hand.
"What? You're fighting just because of a disagreement? Can't you afford to play?" Song Longchuan frowned, looking very surprised.
Although the Pope has a bad temper, it is rare for him to hit someone like he did today.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to start fighting at the next moment, there was a loud noise, and then the dormitory building in front of them actually fell straight back!
The building was huge and it crashed down with a loud bang, and the people had no time to run away.
"Bang!!"
The rubble stirred up thick smoke, and when it completely dissipated, five people with different light shields on their bodies were buried in the rubble.
The Pope was the first to climb up. When he saw the scene clearly, he stood there in a daze.
Next came Song Longchuan.
"Ahem... ahem - what is this?"
When he saw the monster in the garden, his tone changed and he could hardly hide his surprise.
Finally, there are the siblings Fei Zhi and Jian Fan.
But without exception, everyone stopped when they saw the monster in front of them.
Under the dim sky, in the center of the garden, countless limbs covered with black scales were stacked high, much taller than the buildings on both sides, and were still growing outwards.
The black scales squirmed, revealing something of what was inside.
There are organs that look like human internal organs, as well as unknown organs that do not belong to humans. Hundreds of organs are rising and falling slightly, proving that they are alive.
Huge wings dangled from the monster's sides.
If you count carefully, you will find that each wing has five joints, which is obviously not suitable for flying. The flesh wings that are more than 20 meters long are enough to make your scalp tingle!
Eyeballs of different shapes are distributed throughout the monster's body.
Red, yellow, black, with vertical pupils, as big as a fist, bigger than a window... This monster seemed to have no taboos, absorbing countless organs and then brutally putting the plundered things into its own body.
However, judging from the size, it is highly unlikely that the person who contributed these organs was human.
Countless black bones were entangled with white bones, forming a deformed appearance. A single bone was thicker than a human waist, supporting this huge monster... no, the evil god.
The five people just took a look, and a chill that almost made them kneel down ran down their spines.
"Bang——"
Lu Fan knelt on the ground.
Bloody tears flowed from her eyes, her whole body was shaking, and her chest was heaving violently as if she was having difficulty breathing.
Lu Jian wasn't much better.
The moment countless eyes looked at him, he immediately turned his face away and did not meet the evil god's gaze, but this only made him maintain his current standing posture and not kneel down like his sister.
In comparison, Saiziye and Song Longchuan are better.
But the tense bodies of the two men also indicated that they discovered that this special NPC was not as easy to deal with as they had imagined.
At the same time.
Xu Zhiyan was waving his hands in the empty room, trying to comfort his unlucky teammate.
"Oh, don't worry, I can go alone."
Jiang Huaique's forehead veins throbbed, he grabbed Xu Zhiyan by the collar, approached him and spoke viciously.
"Xu Baopi, can you be more serious? This is a special mission that cannot be repaired! It's extremely difficult, and there are also the Pope and the doctor in this copy... Why are you joining in the fun!"
As soon as he received the task, Xu Zhiyan sent a signal and gathered his teammates together to avoid anyone getting injured and having to pay for their treatment.
Jiang Huai Partridge's idea is simple.
"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. These two top auxiliary players, one is a healer and the other is a reinforcement player. They are accompanied by very strong attacking players. They will handle this special task!"
“Woof woof!”
"Yes, Brother Xu, I also think it's too dangerous for you to go."
Jin Sheng also agreed.
Although their current record seems good, that's just playing with newcomers in low-level dungeons. It will be very difficult to go against the famous players on the points leaderboard.
Xu Zhiyan rescued his collar from Jiang Huaique's hands and looked away guiltily.
"You can only make money if there is demand. Don't worry, I am fully confident about this matter. Well, maybe I was the one who caused this..."
The special mission came right after he expected the Iron Knight and Slice to fight, and it looked like the fight would be intense.
As a player, Iron Knight certainly does not have the power to move the copy coordinates, so it can only be Slice himself who turns into special mode after being attacked.
Doctor Bai is the slice he encounters that most closely resembles the ghost in the safe house.
In addition, the opponent was able to collect other slices on his own, so he had predicted that the opponent would be very strong.
Now it seems that the opponent's strength seems to be beyond expectations.
During the conversation, Xiaokuigu, who was working hard with Yu Xiu, finally completed the new task.
[Brother Xu! The banner is finished.]
[The payment code I applied for from the game system before was finally used.]
It was holding a large banner that was more than ten meters long, and had four summoning boxes hanging in its hands.
[Should I let the wall-climbing beast hang up first?]
"Well, hang it up first. I'll go when I get the money. Otherwise, I won't go." Xu Zhiyan looked at the banners opened by the low-level monsters with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal the four monsters to hurry up.
Looking at the words above, Jinsheng's petting of the dog suddenly intensified, and Xiaoyi's whites of his eyes were exposed.
Jiang Huaique stood there stupidly, and only spoke after a long while.
"... Invest in a million insurance and enjoy safe fighting? One million points can save your dog, cross it out, a life? ... Xu skinned you? How many points do you have for this collection?"
On the side, Yu Xiu, who had just helped Xiaokuigu post the payment code, spoke up to answer.
"A single payment of one million! Brother Xu's ability to make money is so strong that he actually made one million!" When he mentioned this, Yu Xiu's eyes were full of admiration.
Xu Zhiyan smiled and waited for his points to arrive.
He didn't have to wait long. A few minutes later, he received the long-awaited points prompt: "Here it comes! As expected, my friend, you haven't played it before—"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Xu Zhiyan's smile suddenly became strange.
He counted the payment information on it and said hesitantly: "How...how did you receive seven million?"
A transfer of four million came from Song Longchuan.
A transfer of two million came from Saiziye.
A transfer of one million from Zoffy...
Jiang Huaique leaned over to take a look, his face not looking good: "Return the money. Let's not talk about the fact that Sai Qiye wants to kill you. If all of them can't beat them together, then you must be -"
"What a joke! How can you spit out the money you earned?"
Xu Zhiyan slammed the table and stood up, interrupting his teammates.
"Did I save them for money? How is that possible! The instance is about to be destroyed. If they can't defeat the enemy together, then the entire instance is in dire straits. How can I not go?"
"Xu Ba Pi, please speak human language."
"Damn it, if I hesitate for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the 7 million points!"
…
Xu Zhiyan, overwhelmed by the points, ignored his teammates' attempts to stop him and rushed to the small garden.
But as soon as he stepped into the range, he felt countless eyes falling on him.
The monster, whose body already covered the sky and the sun, was like an evil god descending, and it was growing wildly outward from the center of the hospital, with strange limbs covered with scales spreading out.
The moment Xu Zhiyan appeared, growth stopped for a moment.
Thousands of eyes filled with love and attachment stared at it intently.
The next second, the black scales on the monster's body exploded, as if it had found its target, and dozens of tentacles rushed towards the stupidly standing young man.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
The faint light shield that had just appeared on his body was broken by the tentacles, and several defensive props were directly shattered. Before Xu Zhiyan had time to feel sad, when he reacted, he was already wrapped by the black-scale tentacles.
The scales were hard, especially the ones around his waist, which were too tight and hurt.
“…”
He was a little panicked.
Damn, the money I made today is a bit hot.
