Chapter 33 The Fifth Player How about I turn you into a patient? ...
"Let...let me go! I was also forced! They forced me to do this!"
For a long time, the person behind him didn't say anything, but the axe at his neck was getting closer and closer. The dean began to shirk responsibility and blamed them for everything.
But Cecilia still ignored him.
While she was restraining the dean with an axe, she was looking around at where she was.
The light here was dim and weak, barely enough to illuminate this small and cramped room. There were mottled marks on the wall, dark red marks that looked like blood.
The air was also filled with a strange smell of disinfectant, intertwined with a musty and damp smell that made one dizzy if they smelled it for too long.
In the corner was a shabby wooden cabinet, in which various surgical instruments were placed in different categories, and in the middle of the room there were three fixed beds.
On top of it lay bed number two, bed number three, and Wilbert.
Compared to the treatment rooms seen during the day, this place is more like a place to treat patients.
But the "patient's" condition became even worse.
The girl in bed number two had her eyes tightly closed, and there were horrible scars on the corners of her mouth, as if she had been torn in half by a tool. She had only done some simple bandages on it, and it was still oozing blood.
The condition of the man in bed number three seemed to have worsened. Not only did the ulcer on his face not receive treatment, but half of his face was scratched and disfigured, with his entire face covered in blood.
In such a situation, he had no restraints on his body, allowing him to continue to inflict more wounds on himself.
Only Wilbert was relatively decent, with no visible wounds and a clear mind. It seemed that the dean had not had time to attack him.
"What did he do to you?"
Ignoring the dean who was mumbling all the time, Cecia forced him to walk to the bedside and asked Wilbert.
"I didn't see it."
Wilbert shook his head.
"I was the last one brought in, and they were already like this."
"But I think his purpose is the same as the treatment, which is to make the patient suffer from some extremely serious disease, and he mentioned them many times."
"Yes! Yes! They made me do it!"
The dean kept saying this, as if he had grabbed the last straw.
"We are all human beings, and I don't want to harm my compatriots." He pretended to cry, "But they won't let me go!"
"Who is your compatriot?"
Cecia made a disgusted "tsk" sound and kicked the other man in the calf, causing him to scream in pain.
"Harmony brings wealth! Harmony brings wealth!"
Enduring the severe pain in his legs, the dean still tried hard to save the situation.
"My friend, think carefully. I am a person they value. If you kill me, they will be furious and all of humanity might be doomed!"
In order to save his own life, he persuaded earnestly.
But these experienced words were totally inconsistent with the immature appearance of the boy, giving people a strange sense of incongruity.
According to the doctor's description of the dean, the other party should be an elderly and stubborn old man, but what she saw was a young boy.
In addition, the system said there were five players in this instance, and the dean immediately captured four of them...
When teaming up with NPC Feng Zi, the page that popped up on the system indicated his NPC identity, and when teaming up with Wilbert, the page also stated "player".
Perhaps this could confirm her thoughts.
Cecia thought for a moment, then opened the system interface and clicked on the team function.
[Searching for people who can form a team within one meter nearby...]
[Dear players, please choose from the following:
1. Player Records
2. Player Yu Xiaoxiao
3. Player Wang Jianguo】
The fifth player, found it.
"Stop pretending."
Cecia said softly, dropped the axe in her hand, and let the other party crawl away from her.
"Wang Jianguo, you are also a player, right?"
"You...what are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying..."
Upon hearing his real name, the dean forgot to run away for a moment and stammered to explain.
"You don't admit it?"
Cecia sneered, raised her hand and selected "Player Wang Jianguo" in the system interface.
[Dear player, player Cecia is applying to team up with you, do you agree? ]
Looking at the window that suddenly popped up in front of him, Wang Jianguo was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his identity would be exposed in this way.
He was stunned for a long time and was unable to make a choice until the window deadline expired.
“Is he a player too?”
A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the hospital bed. Yu Xiaoxiao in bed number two woke up at some point. She supported half of her body with difficulty and looked at Wang Jianguo with hatred in her eyes.
When players first encounter a dungeon that they cannot exit, they have little experience and will reveal their identities as soon as they enter the dungeon and join other players. This also leads people to form a misconception:
Those whose identities are not disclosed are NPCs.
It so happened that Wang Jianguo behaved extremely skillfully and quickly took on the identity of the "dean", harming other players without any scruples, so no one expected that the fifth player would be him.
"How dare you..."
Yu Xiaoxiao originally had a sweet voice, but after the inhuman torture, her vocal cords were completely destroyed. Not only did her voice become as terrifying as a monster, but she also had to endure great pain every time she spoke.
"Can you still speak?"
When Wang Jianguo heard Yu Xiaoxiao's voice, his focus was not at all on what she said.
"That's not right... I clearly made her a little mute. Could there be something wrong?"
He subconsciously took a few steps forward, as if wanting to check on Yu Xiaoxiao's situation.
"Are you still in the mood to care about others?"
Cecia kicked him in the stomach.
Like a kite with a broken string, he flew backwards several meters and hit the cold wall heavily, making a dull sound.
Sliding down the wall, he staggered and tried to get up, but the severe pain came like a tide, and his body seemed to be falling apart, completely out of control.
"you……"
Just as he uttered a word, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a cold light cut through the air and headed straight for his face.
The sharp axe flew past his scalp and stabbed into the wall behind him. He raised his head in fear and saw only the slightly trembling axe handle.
"Tell me, since you are also a player, why do you do this?"
Pulling the axe out of the wall, Cecilia squatted down and gently stroked the other person's tender cheek with the axe blade.
"I...I was really forced!"
Wang Jianguo hurriedly explained that he was scared to death and was sweating all over.
"When I first entered the dungeon, the system issued additional tasks. As the dean, my task is to follow their arrangements and complete the discharge ceremony every Friday."
"Is this why you treat other people like this?"
Cecia raised her eyebrows and acted as if she didn't believe him at all.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry to everyone! I know! It's definitely wrong to do this!"
Seeing that the axe could cut his throat at any time, Wang Jianguo's eyes rolled around and he tried desperately to find a way to exonerate himself.
"The so-called discharge ceremony is actually a sacrifice ceremony. At least one qualified patient must be offered to them to complete the sacrifice."
He spoke urgently.
"If the ritual is not completed, they will go out of control. When that happens, not only will I be in trouble, but all the players in this instance will die!"
"So? So you're going to sacrifice us and save only yourself?"
Cecilia asked boredly, she wanted to see what kind of bullshit the other party could make up.
"How...how is it possible?"
Wang Jianguo smiled awkwardly. After all, that was what he had done before.
But now...
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"To be honest, I have seen this copy on the forum before."
He made up his mind and simply revealed the information he knew.
"The difficulty rating of this dungeon is easy, which means that if all players cannot clear the dungeon, at least one player must be sacrificed. As long as there is a player among the sacrificed patients, we can learn their origins and easily clear the dungeon."
"After all, this is a game, and the players who sacrificed themselves won't really be in any trouble..."
"Yeah?"
Cecia swung the axe in a complete circle in the air.
"Why don't you let me give you a speed pass?"
“No, no, no!”
Wang Jianguo squatted down instantly, holding his head and shouting loudly.
"This dungeon is a little different. Not only is there no way to exit, but players can also feel pain. If you die here, you might really die..."
As he spoke, he forced a flattering smile at Cecia.
"My friend, you are very capable, and I have a high status in this dungeon. Why don't we work together? I'm sure we can pass it quickly."
"As for your companions, you can save two of them."
Seeing that Cecia didn't say anything, Wang Jianguo continued to persuade her: "Look at that man, he is basically crazy. Even if he gets out of the copy, he must be mentally unstable. Why not let him be the sacrifice?"
"If we give up one of them, the remaining four can survive."
"Then why don't I give up on you?"
Cecilia asked softly, and to Wang Jianguo's ears, these words sounded like the whisper of a devil.
"I, I'm the dean! Only patients can be sacrificed!"
Wang Jianguo panicked and tried to defend himself with gesticulations.
"He lied."
Wilbert, who had been watching coldly, spoke up, hitting the opponent's sore spot accurately.
"My original identity was a doctor, but after he caught me and started to experiment on me, my identity has changed to a patient, and even my additional task has become treating diseases."
Hearing this, Cecia looked at Wang Jianguo with a smile and asked in a low voice: "How about turning you into a patient?"
"don't want!"
A sharp sound came out of his mouth. He shrank back, trying to squeeze into the corner while racking his brains for the last chance.
"My friend, I'm telling you the truth. In reality, I'm the boss of a listed company. Don't disbelieve me, this appearance is just the appearance I bought. I'm actually in my 40s or 50s."
"Just let me go, and I'll reward you handsomely when I get out!"
