Chapter 366 Monster Hospital (Sixty-Five)
The other players looked at each other. After listening to what the president said, they had a lot of questions in their hearts, but they didn't know how to start, especially since the other party seemed unwilling to say more. They felt that the president suddenly had a little bit of malice towards them, just a little bit.
However, this atmosphere was soon broken by the eldest lady who had recovered from her shock. Her face was still very pale, but her body was covered with a layer of fine light, making her look much more sacred. She did not object to what Bei Xi said, but when she showed this expression, a hint of complex emotion flashed in her eyes, which she quickly concealed.
Then everyone saw the eldest lady stand up from the president's arms in front of so many people, patted the president's shoulder lightly, and then pretended to be serious, "Who are you trying to scare by pretending like this?"
Everyone could see that she didn't actually use much strength in her hands, but the identities of the two seemed to have changed in some way. In the past, it was basically the president who protected the eldest lady, but now the situation was reversed. The eldest lady acted like an elder, and after scolding the president, she looked at the others with a smile.
"Don't pay attention to her, she just remembered something that happened before and is making a fuss with me!" Although this was said politely, the subtext was that you should not have any hostility towards the president, otherwise the person with hostility is actually the eldest lady. As for what the president remembered and why he made such a fuss, the eldest lady did not give any extra explanation.
Although everyone was very curious about the scene before them, and the president did not show any resistance or dissatisfaction towards the eldest lady's or Shenqi's actions, on the contrary, he even enjoyed these details. Even Twelve would not be so blind as to walk into the muzzle of a gun.
As for President Barbie, President Yan, and the Sixth Vice President, players in the second tier whose IQs are second only to President Yi and the eldest lady, they have more or less figured out President Yi's true identity from the system's task description and what President Yi said just now.
At this point, the strange scope in which the roles of the controller and the controlled changed due to changes in identity finally made everyone realize that they seemed to have unknowingly become a part of someone's play.
Fortunately, the eldest lady, Shen Qi, was still in a rational state and took into consideration the feelings of others, so she did not let this atmosphere last for long. Before another wave of black air came, she stretched out her hand and tapped lightly in the air, and saw golden protective circles rising from the player's body, covering the entire player.
"This protection circle can last for a while, so that you will not be invaded by the evil thoughts of ordinary people," the eldest lady said again, her tone much more serious, "but you need to help me draw out more evil thoughts so that I can enter the biochemical area. This protection circle can't last too long. The entire monster hospital is open. You must stay away from the biochemical area as much as possible. It can help you resist a certain degree of evil thoughts, but it is not omnipotent, so you still have to be careful."
Before, except for some players who knew the inside story, the rest of the people were naturally very curious about the eldest lady's personal skills. After all, she was an ordinary player who had just entered the game not long ago, but she had turned the entire game upside down. Apart from the fact that her personal skills were special, others could not think of any other reasons.
But after the system revealed the eldest lady's true identity, they were more shocked. After being shocked, they began to accept it because the eldest lady looked no different from before. They felt that Shen Qi was just Shen Qi, and the eldest lady just had an extra identity. But until now, they finally saw the power of Shen Qi with their own eyes, and saw the other party's ability to turn stone into gold, and finally realized that the eldest lady in front of them was no longer an ordinary person like them.
As another wave of ordinary evil thoughts came, the eldest lady waved her hand and drove them away like flies. Only then did everyone finally realize how powerful Shenqi's ability was.
But there were still some people who were more careful and discovered another possibility implied in the eldest lady's arrangement. After the crowd had left a little, President Yan approached them, avoiding the crowd and saying, "How are you going to deal with the evil god and Man Wugui? If you only rely on suppressing them like before, then you should have succeeded last time..."
President Barbie, the Sixth Vice President, and President Alice all tacitly agreed to stay for the time being. Although they did not express their opinions for the time being, it was obvious that they had the same idea as President Yan, especially since they had witnessed with their own eyes how powerful the Evil God and Man Wugui were.
If Shen Qi could completely get rid of the evil god and Man Wugui while recovering her heart and memories, she could just stand there and wave her sleeves. Why did she go to so much trouble to give them a protective shield and keep them away from the biochemical zone and as far away from the main battlefield as possible?
The president listened to their questions but did not explain. She even showed some impatience because of their questions. The eldest lady smiled helplessly and said, "I always have a way. I just have to make a choice."
After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the leader. Thinking of some information in the system task description, everyone was silent. But before they could speak again, the eldest lady said solemnly, "It would be best if you could trust me. This time it will be completely over. Just do as I say."
Because of the hint from the eldest lady just now, the rest of the people understood what the eldest lady meant by making another choice. At this moment, they looked at the president with guilty eyes.
If there was only their own lives on the other side of the scale, they could directly ask the eldest lady to give up themselves. However, now the entire world was placed on the other side of the scale, including the world with their relatives and friends where they lived before, as well as different spaces where they had never met other lives. What was staked on this side was too precious, so precious that none of them dared to speak.
Finally, it was the Sixth Vice President who said unwillingly, "But why? Why did it have to be the First President? Miss, you know the First President best. Ever since she entered the game..."
"Sixth, that's enough," the first president interrupted the sixth vice president, "I've said everything I need to say. You already know what to do. I don't want to say anything more."
"But President..." Three years of revolutionary feelings have made the Sixth Vice President dissatisfied. To her, the First Vice President has done nothing wrong, but now she is forced to become a victim of the whole world. Of course, she thinks it is unfair.
"I've said enough. Since you know I don't have much time left, go away and do what you need to do. Leave the time to me. I still have a lot to say."
The president's expression returned to its original coldness, as if they were not discussing their own life and death, but an unimportant matter. When she said that she still had a lot to say, she did not even look at Nan Huan. It was unknown whether it was intentional or unconscious.
Now that things have come to this, it would be inappropriate for the others to stay any longer. They might have only entered a few dungeons with Bei Xi, and from the perspective of ordinary people, they might not even be considered friends. But in fact, only players who have entered dangerous dungeons know that there has already been a comradeship between them that is unmatched by anyone else.
They really wanted to express something to the president, but no matter what they said at this time, it would be as if they were holding a golden ticket to immortality and showing off to the other party. In the end, they could only try their best to complete everything the eldest lady asked them to do with a guilty and praying heart.
From the moment the Sixth Vice President opened his mouth, Nan Huan had not spoken again. Her eyes had actually always been on Bei Xi, but she didn't say anything. Now was not the right time, and she couldn't show anything unusual.
In addition to the players, there was another group of people waiting behind. After seeing the players finally leave, Patient 111 came over with other patients. The protective shields on some of them had been broken, revealing the monster parts. As the restrictions of the monster hospital ward were opened, they finally remembered who they were and why they were here.
"We didn't recognize you at first sight," No. 111 spoke first, "You haven't really changed, it's just that too much time has passed, and we've been comfortable for too long."
There was a sense of loss in his tone, and it was obvious that he was thinking back to the time when he, Nan Huan and Bei Xi were carefree in the clean death place. "We have been lucky for so long, now it is time for you to free yourself as soon as possible. We know in our hearts that we have never been abandoned."
The monster characteristics of Patient No. 111 have been revealed. The black air, as if it had smelled some delicious food, has been staring at the other party with eager eyes. If it were not for Nan Huan's ability, he would have stepped forward and put these patients back into the state of being controlled by evil thoughts. Patient No. 111 has been using great self-control to resist these evil thoughts and the temptation to himself.
But there is no way, because monsters are born to be nourished by these things. These floating black air are like the attraction of air to humans, which is innate.
“I understand,” Nan Huan stretched out his hand and tapped a few times in the air. The golden light flew to each monster like a meteor, repairing their damaged protective circles, making their monster forms disappear and turning back into human forms. “This protective circle can last for a while. You should stay away from the biochemical zone as much as possible, which will have less impact on you... I’m sorry..."
Nan Huan hesitated and finally apologized in a low voice. Although he was speaking to those patients, Patient No. 111 always felt that these words should be spoken to Bei Xi. He sighed and said nothing more, but a lot of unwillingness surged in his heart, not for himself, but for Bei Xi.
Bei Xi was different from these monsters since she was born. Her hands were not stained with the blood of any of her kind. Even when they wanted to get rid of her completely, they did not kill her completely. Her hands were not stained with the blood of any human being. Unfortunately, she was born in the land of death, and was destined to not be able to accompany Shen Qi for the rest of her life.
As the players and patients of a guild alliance dispersed one after another, the swarming black air faded for a moment, but they soon smelled that the one that stayed in place was the most attractive, but the periphery of that attraction seemed like a blazing fire in the darkness.
Although it attracted moths to come closer, no moths wanted to fly into the fire for the time being. They only dared to stay at a position not too far away, exploring carefully in the hope of finding an opportunity.
The black air from the biochemical area was like a thick, indissoluble fog, floating in the air. However, they seemed to have sensed the strategies of Nan Huan and Bei Xi, and seemed to know that the other party would come over directly in a short time, so they just wandered around the biochemical area, with no intention of staying away, nor any intention of driving them away.
The whole space fell silent again, leaving only two people who had recovered their memories. Nan Huan looked at Bei Xi who was so close to her, not knowing what to say. However, given the current situation, she was a little worried that if she didn't say anything now, she might not have the chance later. Finally, she hesitated and spoke, "I'm sorry..."
"You know, these are the three words I least want to hear," Nan Huan started to say but was interrupted by Bei Xi. "You have never let me down. If it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of my own people that day, and I wouldn't have seen such a clean death, nor would I have had so many different experiences with you again. And you have already tried and chosen for me, and that's enough."
Bei Xi looked at Nan Huan seriously, and while speaking, he held her in his arms again, coaxing her gently. Even though she had recovered her memory, even though she was the high and mighty Shen Qi again, Bei Xi would rather she was still Nan Huan. She would still think of his arms when she was wronged or felt scared, even though she would never feel wronged or scared again.
Nan Huan let herself indulge in Bei Xi's arms for a while, and whispered "I'm sorry" to Bei Xi in her heart, but only she knew what these three words meant. She didn't want to fail again this time, but she was not sure if she still had a chance, so she apologized to Bei Xi in advance. The other party certainly didn't understand it now, but after a while, she would understand it.
"I want you to promise me something," Bei Xi's throat seemed to be blocked, but after a moment she still spoke with difficulty, but she held Nan Huan tightly in her arms, not wanting Nan Huan to see her expression, "Can we end it all once and for all? When we get to the biochemical area and help you find the last missing piece of your heart, then we can end it all, okay?"
Nan Huan was held in Bei Xi's arms. When she heard the word "heart", her whole body froze for a moment. Bei Xi thought she was a little worried because he already knew all the plans, so he reached out and stroked her back. "We learned in the acting dean's office that there were a total of five sources of infection, and the source of infection in the biochemical area had been activated. So when we decided to open the safe in the acting dean's office, the system prompted that the second source of infection had been activated, and then the remaining sources of infection were activated one by one. You only recovered four heart fragments. As for the first heart fragment, we have to find it back first, right?"
Bei Xi remained calm from beginning to end, especially after learning all the memories. She was worried that Nan Huan would do something like before that she was unaware of, so she forced herself to calm down at the first possible moment. She needed to control all the information and possible situations to prevent something like last time and make sure these things were completely resolved this time.
So she quickly sorted out the information in the copy, and from Nanhua's actions and arrangements, she came to some conclusions. Nanhua arranged for all the players and patients to temporarily take some black air away from the biochemical area, which meant that the two of them had to treat the biochemical area as a battlefield.
Just like many years ago, as long as Shen Qi gathers all her strength again, she can completely eliminate these evil thoughts, so they must first get the last piece of the opponent's heart, and then Bei Xi and the monsters just need to release all their strength to allow Shen Qi to directly get rid of the evil god and Man Wugui.
Nan Huan was indeed shocked by Bei Xi's words. Although she did not expect Bei Xi to remember such details under such circumstances, fortunately, many years ago, when she was dealing with some details, Bei Xi had already fallen into darkness, so even if the other party recovered his memory, there was no more information about her that she did not want to expose, and she immediately calmed down.
"I have been wandering in the world for such a long time, watching those people spend their entire lives trying to achieve their own little desires, but some of them still don't get a good result in the end. Sometimes I would fall into confusion," Nan Huan did not directly answer Bei Xi's words, but instead talked about another seemingly unrelated thing.
Although Bei Xi didn't quite understand what Nan Huan meant by this, she still listened carefully, trying to understand him, "Sometimes they know that the ending can't change anything, but they still don't give up, and they have to use that little bit of strength to fight against the way of heaven?"
Bei Xi pulled up the person in his arms and gently wiped her slightly red eyes with his hand, as if he wanted to keep Nan Huan's appearance in his heart forever.
Nan Huan felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, but he was reluctant to look away. He just held hands and nodded, "You have to know that the scene we saw before about the acting dean was just accidental. Although I was very arrogant when facing Tiandao, I actually had no confidence at all."
Bei Xi was amused by her little girl's thoughts when she spoke, and stretched out her hand to scratch her nose. "I know, the more uncertain you are, the more aggressive you should be. This is called negotiation skills. You taught me before, but I didn't expect you to use it so early? And you used it on Tiandao. So the system in this game is Tiandao, right? No wonder I always disliked it?"
The two of them chatted as if no one was around, not caring at all that their words would be heard by the system. Or perhaps Bei Xi was deliberately trying to tease Nan Huan, and said these words just so that the system could hear them.
