Chapter 327 Monster Hospital (Twenty-Six)
Nan Huan was not too surprised. She even seemed to have expected this situation. She took the paper cup microphone directly in her hand. The system did not prompt her on how to answer it. She tried to put the mouth of the cup to her ear and said, "I am the eldest lady..."
In other circumstances, this statement would be a bit childish, but Nan Huan had no other choice now. The other players did not know her name, so she could only report her title so that the players on the other end would know who she was at the first moment.
In the fake ward C, President Barbie had to pay attention to the black shadow that suddenly attacked, and at the same time organize her words to communicate with the unknown player on the other end. As a result, before she opened her mouth, she heard a familiar voice and almost couldn't breathe. The huge joy, under the guidance of reason, made President Barbie always remember that every second of the call time is very precious.
"Miss, I'm Barbie. We're in a bit of a situation right now. We've accepted a side quest..." President Barbie explained the situation indirectly without leaving out any details. "Before, whether it was the black sticky liquid or the attacks from the black shadows, they were relatively mild. But just now, after the microphone was found, the attacks became very fierce. The situation is not good now..."
She described the current situation very carefully without exaggerating, but Nan Huan knew that the situation must be worse than she said. However, now was not the time to delve into it. "So from the description of the task, as long as you wake up this sleeping person, you can leave the fake Ward C..."
"Yes," President Barbie's voice sounded a little hurried, "but the information we have now, about this person's identity and where he is..."
"We have found that person," Nan Huan took the initiative to explain the current situation before she finished speaking, "The side quests in each ward are connected. We have now found the sleeping patient. We will find a way to wake him up. You guys hold on..."
Five minutes was not a long time, so Nan Huan could only briefly explain the current situation, reassure President Barbie and the others, and ask them to hold on a little longer.
"That's good, we will."
For President Barbie, the person on the communications end was the eldest daughter, and the other party was with President Yi, and had already found the person at the core of their mission. This was much better than they had expected. It was like giving all the players a shot of adrenaline in this situation. No matter what desperate situation they were in, hope was always a good sign.
Fortunately, before the communication was interrupted, the two sides had already exchanged the most important information.
All the players on President Barbie's side had felt more than half relieved of their uneasiness when they learned that the people on the other end of the phone were the eldest lady and the first president. All the burden fell on the eldest lady and the first president.
Inside the room, President Yan and President Yi were still trying to stop the black flowers from entering the mind of Patient No. 233. They both heard what Nan Huan had just said.
Although President Yan also had many questions in her mind, it was obvious that President Barbie on the other end of the communication was in a more critical situation, so she did not explain her infection and related side quests for the time being. Instead, after the communication was interrupted, she looked at President Yi with some confusion, "Can't we just wake her up?"
Since there is now a clear solution to the problem, does that mean that they don't need to do this useless work? After all, they have worked hard for so long but cannot prevent those black flowers from entering the patient's body.
The president's brows had been furrowed since she saw that they seemed to have no way to deal with the black flowers. In response to President Yan's question, she extended a tentacle from her sleeve again, rolled up Patient No. 233 from the bed without any gentleness, and gave President Yan the answer.
"It's impossible to wake him up with ordinary methods. We've already tried it," Nan Huan explained. "And I suspect it's not because President Barbie and the others found the paper cup microphone, but because these black flowers have aggravated his digestion in his dreams. So the situation of the players on President Barbie's side is not optimistic."
President Yan understood. The eldest lady and the first president must know more about the current situation than her. They realized something was wrong in their rooms. It was not easy to lock No. 233 before President Barbie called. But at the moment, it seems that the two have not found a way to break the situation.
"What about killing him directly?"
President Yan raised a possibility. This was not the primary solution to the problem, but only a backup plan. If it really came to the last moment, perhaps the eldest lady and the president might need to make such a decision.
Nan Huan did not answer the question immediately. Instead, she looked at President Yan with a somewhat surprised expression, as if she did not expect the other party to raise this question at this time. However, she instantly understood that President Yan actually raised this question out of testing.
"You're overthinking it. Not to mention killing him directly, it doesn't conform to the original intention of the system to issue this task," Nan Huan thought about the information she had obtained and the information she got from President Barbie. It seemed that they were not very comprehensive. In addition, President Yan also came to Area A, and those black flowers were also related to her. Just as she guessed just now, the side quests encountered by their three wards were essentially related, which meant that President Yan might have grasped some information that he himself was not aware of. So Nan Huan had to distract himself to communicate with the other party now, "Even if the system left such a way, what exactly happened to Patient No. 233? The truth is needed, instead of disappearing here in this way."
Nan Huan didn't say this intentionally for President Yan to hear. She also had no intention of gaining his trust or taking this opportunity to recruit him. But now was not the time to test each other. After she finished speaking, she didn't pause and went straight to the point. "President Yan, I'm sorry. If it were under other circumstances, I would be happy to discuss more about the system with you. You can ask any questions you have. After all, it was me who asked you to come to this ultimate copy. You have all the rights to know. But now our fifteen common partners are still waiting for us to wake up Patient No. 233. Instead of testing each other here, it is better for us to work together to rescue all the partners and then talk in detail. And I believe time is also precious to you, right?"
"I agree with your proposal. Do you think the system really leaves us a way out? Can we use our own methods to wake up the person in front of us? Or is there really a way to prevent these black flowers from entering the other person's body and alleviate the situation of President Barbie and the others?"
President Yan was silent for a moment, retracted the gaze he had just given him, and became very serious.
"I think it should be possible," Nan Huan admired her decisiveness. When he said he wanted to solve the problem, he asked the most fundamental question at once. "The system will not give a question without an answer. What we need to do now is to reassemble the fragmented information obtained from the three tasks. There must be a way to wake up patient No. 233. At present, I have the information from President Barbie and me, so I think the key information should be with you. Moreover, this information may not be the kind given by the system in the open. It is more likely to be the kind of subtle information that will not attract your special attention, but may make you a little confused. Do you have any impression about this?"
Regarding the fact that the eldest lady felt that there was some necessary connection between the three tasks, President Yan felt that she would not make this determination based solely on the black flowers. Although she really wanted to know the reasons why the other young ladies made such a conclusion, now was obviously not the time to dwell on this point. Moreover, she felt that the eldest lady's guess was correct, so was the key to solving the problem really on herself?
President Yan did not answer immediately, nor did he ask any further questions. Instead, he lowered his eyes in this situation, trying to stay calm. He quickly reviewed in his mind all the things he had found strange since the mission was triggered. He got information from the nurse along the way, followed the bed of patient X, found the secret passage, and came to Ward A. There were actually some things that made him feel wrong.
"If you want to judge it this way, I think there are two strange things. The first is that when those black flowers started to attack me in the ward where I was, I used my personal skill, and my personal skill was effective for two seconds."
Before President Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the first president, "Are you sure it was effective for a short time? This is not consistent with the consequences of using your personal skills?"
President Yan was not surprised that President Yi knew the consequences of her personal skills and the reasons for their triggering. At the same time, she was very impressed that President Yi was able to grasp the key points immediately. She nodded solemnly, "Yes, I am sure that my personal skills took effect, but not completely."
Seeing the slightly puzzled expression on the young lady's face, President Yan explained very considerately, "My personal skills are quite special. The premise of using language to influence others must be based on the understanding of the other party. Although it is not necessarily limited to the target of influence being a person, in general, even if the target of influence is not a concrete object, it needs to have a certain degree of awareness, so..."
"So this information is the system's way of reminding us that these black flowers are not ordinary sources of infection," the eldest lady quickly understood President Yan's intention, but the meaning behind this hint from the system was not yet clear. "Besides this, what do you think is strange about the other point?"
"The second point is a smell." President Yan had nothing to hide now. "My side quest was to find a patient. I followed the clues and found Ward A. But when I was trying to find a way out in the passage, I smelled a faint scent of grass."
When the president heard this, he showed an expression of understanding.
