Chapter 40: Choking each other's necks to show respect "Now, we are even...
The strong smell of blood spread in the monster's abdomen, which made Cecia frown. She endured the discomfort and broke the green cocoon, pulling out Wang Jianguo, who was covered with gastric juice.
The things inside its body were forcibly pulled out, and it kept wailing in pain. It flailed around with its hands and accidentally injured several doctors.
At this moment, the doctors no longer cared about faith or gods, and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be targeted by it.
After transferring Wang Jianguo to a safe area, Cecia moved back and forth among the fleeing doctors. The doctors she touched were fixed in place as if their feet were stuck with glue.
It's still somewhat useful.
She nodded with satisfaction, and the note on the red balloon fluttering around her read:
"Creatures you touch will be unable to move for ten minutes (E)."
Without the support of Wang Jianguo's desire, the monster's wounds could not heal.
Under the fierce siege of the phantoms, it began to show signs of defeat, its movements became slower and slower, and finally it fell to the ground with a deafening roar.
"Thanks."
Many phantoms surrounded Cecia, and among them a young man called "Toothed Head" stepped forward to express his gratitude.
Although he survived the battle, half of his arm was eaten by the monster.
"No, you guys helped me."
Cecia waved her hand and led them to the doctor.
Ten minutes had not passed yet and the doctors were still unable to move freely. They huddled together trembling, waiting for the judgment to come.
"I'm going to take the dean away. As for the doctor and that guy, you can do whatever you want with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, they rushed to the doctor like a gust of cold wind, and screams suddenly rang out.
On the other side, the young man in the lead brought the remaining shadows to the monster.
The opponent was already dying, but they deliberately did not give it a quick death. They continued to torture it, inflicting non-fatal wounds on it, and listening to its desperate cries.
It deserves it, for these shadowy figures are patients in a mental hospital—
Moreover, they are all patients who have experienced the "discharge ceremony".
When Cecia went to the basement to investigate, she not only changed the magic circle in the basement, but also used the Bell of the Dead to summon all the patients who died tragically.
They acted as informants throughout the entire hospital, and Feng Zi's eavesdropping and Wang Jianguo's betrayal had long been heard by Cecilia.
She remained calm, pretending to know nothing, and played along with the opponent's plan. In fact, she had already changed the magic circle on the square and reached an agreement with the phantom.
As soon as they hear the bell, they come out in droves.
They wanted no other reward than to kill them completely and destroy this disgusting hospital.
[Congratulations to the player "Cesia" for successfully curing her illness. You will be rewarded with a random special item in the dungeon. ]
Under the continued pain, the monster was overwhelmed and completely lost its life.
The system prompt sounded, and Cecilia subconsciously looked back. The silver-haired boy was still standing beside her, but his figure gradually became illusory.
"goodbye."
He whispered, and then completely disappeared into the air.
Don't worry, see you soon.
Cecia thought.
In addition to her, the symptoms of other players are also gradually disappearing.
Even Ji Lu stopped hurting himself. He stared blankly at his bruised body. The continuous severe pain made him feel scared.
He almost killed himself.
After dealing with all the enemies, the phantoms opened the door of the mental hospital and released all the patients in the square.
Before leaving, the young man in the lead handed Cecia a booklet and said solemnly:
“I hope this helps.”
Opening the booklet, it recorded everything the dean had planned with them over the years.
It turns out that they are not creatures created by the writer, but a kind of alien spiritual beings.
When they first arrived in this world, humans could not detect their existence, and only extremely inspired writers could see them.
So, they attach themselves to the monsters created by the writers to absorb human emotions and transform them into nourishment for themselves.
The dean knew the whole truth from beginning to end, but for the sake of wealth and status, he chose to cooperate with them.
He is responsible for luring more humans to strengthen their power. They will help him get everything he wants and let him join the upper class...
As for the writer, he is just a poor guy who is being exploited.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully cracking the truth of the world. The dungeon "Super Mental Hospital" has been cleared. Do you want to leave the dungeon immediately? ]
[Note: If you select No or do not make a selection, the system will automatically force the player to leave the dungeon after five minutes.]
Before she could make a choice, a cry of pain was heard beside Cecia.
"It's over! Everything is over! I can't get out now!"
After going through all the things, the dean's high-end suit was corroded and tattered, with only broken strips of cloth barely hanging on his body, and even his bright red underwear could be seen.
Not only that, his whole body was covered in blood and mucus, and he looked extremely miserable.
"It's so rare for me to encounter something like this, and it's a copy that I've read the walkthrough for! I should be the protagonist, this is my chance!!"
"I have planned everything! As long as one player is sacrificed, everyone can pass the level! Just sacrifice one!"
He broke down and cried, his speech was incoherent, and he looked mentally unstable.
"I don't want to die! I want to get out alive! I have old people and young children to take care of..."
"Who said you were going to die?"
Listening to the other party's inexplicable complaints, Cecilia raised her eyebrows.
"The dungeon mission asked me to complete the sacrifice ceremony on Friday... but I messed it up! Even they died! It's all over now!"
Wang Jianguo cried and shouted with tears streaming down his face.
"They have successfully appeared, and the sacrificial ceremony has been successfully completed, except that the sacrifice has changed from humans to them."
Cecia said coldly.
"Your mission didn't say to keep them alive."
“Is… is that so?”
Hearing this, Wang Jianguo was stunned and even snorted.
During the conversation, the countdown to leave the copy ended. The scene in front of Cecia's eyes gradually blurred. A strong sense of weightlessness came over her, and she returned to the original world.
[Leaving the instance, settlement is in progress...]
[The dungeon "Super Mental Hospital" has been cleared. The player "Chesia" has achieved the achievement "Facing Fear". You will be rewarded...]
A series of mechanical sounds continued to sound, but Cecilia had no intention of checking the contents.
The sharp ice blade was placed on her neck, and bright red blood slid down the ice blade and spread on the carpet.
"What are you doing?"
Cecia smiled heartlessly, as if it was not her life that was threatened.
"Aren't we friends? If we hadn't helped each other and united in friendship, we wouldn't have been able to come back alive."
"...trespassing into the vampire clan and assassinating the lord, this is the friend you were talking about?"
Manipulating the ice blade, Wilbert said coldly.
"That's all a misunderstanding. Are you going to turn your back on me? Don't forget..."
Cecilia pretended to be sad and took out the video from her bosom.
But this time it didn't work, instead the ice blade penetrated an inch further into his neck.
"As long as you die, no one will know about this."
As if he had made up his mind, Wilbert's magic power began to surge. He slowly raised his right hand, and the ice blade was about to pierce Cecia's throat.
But just a second before the skin was cut, Cecilia's lips curled up into a sly smile and her body swayed slightly.
As he waved his hand, a faint light flashed, and a "crack" sounded in the air. The ice blade shattered instantly and scattered all over the ground.
Even though he didn't have time to mobilize his magic power, he was unwilling to give up. He simply took two steps forward and grabbed Cecilia's neck with his right hand.
Because her neck was squeezed, her face turned pale, but she still showed no signs of panic.
"Now, are we even?"
She managed to squeeze out a sentence, her voice slightly distorted due to breathing difficulties.
When Wilbert was about to exert more force, the figure exploded and disappeared in the air.
"Substitution magic?"
Watching the other party escape from his hands, he felt a surge of anger at being tricked, and then followed the remaining traces of magic and chased after him.
On the other hand, while Wilbert was blinded by anger, Cecia sneaked away as soon as the copy was just released, leaving only a substitute to play with him.
Based on last experience, humans from the same copy should appear randomly next to her.
How could she allow those weak humans to wander around in the dangerous vampire territory? Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? !
That’s right, she was trying to protect humans, and she definitely wasn’t coveting their abilities.
Searching quickly around, Cecia found the record first.
Perhaps because his injuries were too severe, even though he suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar environment, Lu Ji did not run around in panic, but lay quietly where he was - waiting to die.
Unfortunately, Death did not come, but Cecia came.
"We meet again."
He lay peacefully on the ground, his voice weak.
"Are we entering the same dungeon again? I'm afraid I don't have the energy to make it through this time."
"Do you know where the others are?"
Cecia did not refute, but dragged the record into the hidden bushes and cast layer after layer of magic on him to block out the smell of blood.
Ji Lu shook his head: "I didn't see anyone else."
"Stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."
After settling the other party, Cecia reminded him that it was like the dragon had hidden the treasure it had just found.
"Where are you going?"
The record asked weakly.
"Need me..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a scream from not far away.
"Don't move, wait for me to come back!"
Cecia emphasized again, and then quickly rushed to where the sound came from.
…
Next to a building, even though Yu Xiaoxiao tried hard to hide her figure, the smell on her body still exposed her.
Soon, she was discovered by the patrolling vampires.
"Look over there! Is that a blood slave that escaped?"
"Quick! Catch her!"
The patrol team attacked from both sides, and Yu Xiaoxiao didn't hold out for long before they caught her.
Wrapping the chain around her arm, the red-haired vampire sniffed her scent deeply and asked in confusion: "The smell of this blood is like the legendary human—"
