Chapter 310 Monster Hospital (Part 9)
In fact, the reason why the lobby of the Monster Hospital is so noisy is not simply because of the job allocation issues of the staff, but also because of the patients on the other side who have completed the pre-examination.
The number of patients was small relative to the number of staff, but because the pre-examinations of patients could not be carried out at the same time and they had to queue up, the time it took for people on both sides to enter the hospital lobby was about the same.
However, the eldest lady who came in first immediately locked onto a few players at the top of the positions. Apart from a few familiar faces, there was only one unfamiliar face. And looking at the areas shown on their name tags, the highest was only in Area B. According to the tone of the hospital, there should not be any intersection. But precisely because of this, Nan Huan felt a little uneasy.
She originally thought that if they were assigned according to the area, she should run into one or two of them, but there was not a single player staff member in Area A, and even Area B was only assigned a neutral player. This was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.
However, her attention was soon attracted by the players on their side, because just like all the staff would change into corresponding doctor or nurse uniforms according to their positions after entering the hospital, these diagnosed patients naturally also wore uniform patient uniforms.
However, compared to the ordinary blue striped hospital gowns that are not aesthetically pleasing, the patient gowns in the Monster Hospital are much better looking, with pink flowers on the hems, comfortable fabrics and a furry touch. Regardless of whether they are real patients or just pretending, they all feel relaxed instantly.
In order to prevent patients from using their name tags to hurt themselves or others, the patient's number and area of residence are considerately embroidered on the right chest of the shirt.
Nan Huan was looking at the players in his guild, as well as their numbers and areas, when he was suddenly hugged by Bei Xi. "What are you looking at? There are only two of us in Area A. A neutral player was assigned to Area B, and the rest are in Areas C and D. I just noticed the number of people, and no one was left behind, whether it was the staff or the patients. In the first stage, the system still let everyone in. It seems that the purpose is not to screen, but just to distinguish."
Nan Huan was robbed of his lines by her, and found several issues worth complaining about and exploring in depth from her words, but in the end, after picking and choosing, the words on his lips became, "What on earth did you do to make them assign you to Area A?"
If we say that Nan Huan's publicity was something she had from the beginning, whether it was her unique number or the various symptoms diagnosed by the system, all of which showed that her position would be different in this preliminary examination. Then Bei Xi was using her 70-point physical characteristics to challenge a 100-point result, which would naturally make Nan Huan realize that something was wrong.
Twelve on the side was eager to try, and originally wanted to complain in front of his own president, but was frightened by Bei Xi's ambiguous eyes and stopped abruptly. In an instant, his desire to watch the show turned into a prayer that he would only have a good life if the president's family was harmonious.
"I didn't do anything, I just used a little trick." Bei Xi obviously didn't want to analyze her mental journey to Nan Huan, so she tried to divert his attention. "I think the distribution of people is a bit uneven. Although we are assigned positions according to symptoms, I don't know what the staff are assigned to, but generally speaking, there should be talents in each area. Otherwise, the system may have gone to great lengths to make them all choose staff members. Why is that?"
Nan Huan obviously knew that the other party was trying to change the subject, but he was still unconsciously led by the other party's topic. "Not only that, in addition to the fact that there are only two of us in Area A, I also found that the only doctor and the only patient in Area B are both from the presidents of two neutral small guilds. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? But I'm not familiar with these two people. Do you have any relevant information? President One?"
The last three words were obviously said with gritted teeth, meaning that she would let you go this time, but if you dare to do anything to hurt her next time, she would not be so easy to talk to. Nan Huan knew with her knees that Bei Xi could only start from the degree of danger, so although it was not clear what method Bei Xi adopted in the end, it must not have been easy. Coupled with Twelve's aggrieved look, it was almost obvious that the president had done something dangerous just now, but due to the other party's majesty, she could not say it.
Bei Xi smiled and pinched her fingers, accepting the gnashing of teeth address, then turned around and looked at Twelve threateningly and suggestively, "What are you still standing there for? It's time for you to take the stage."
Poor Twelve, with the title of vice president and doing the work of an assistant, it is not enough for him to be ordered around every day. He also has to worry all the time about whether his two immediate superiors will suddenly do something weird. He dares not say anything, so he has to take small steps and hurried to report the situation.
"Miss, those two guild leaders are from small, neutral guilds, and the guilds themselves are not particularly powerful, but the strength of these two guild leaders should not be underestimated."
Twelve suddenly transformed himself into a competent assistant and began to tell Nan Huan and Bei Xiting the information he had just found out of the archives word for word.
President Barbie and President Alice, who were standing nearby, also came over after seeing the young couple finish their private conversation.
"The one who chose to work is the guild leader of the Speakable Guild—President Yan. Her personal skill is called Silver Tongue, which can make people more convincing when speaking, and make people agree with her unconsciously. The strongest effect can make players with weaker mental strength commit suicide directly. This will not be judged as cannibalism by the system, of course, only in certain specific circumstances."
Regarding the last sentence of Twelve's supplement, Nan Huan nodded to indicate that he understood and no explanation was needed.
That is, when a person is already in a low mood and has this tendency, if President Yan uses his skills at this time, and the player actually commits suicide, it will not be considered a violation of the rules of the game.
However, if a player does not have any problems in this regard and is in a good mood, but is controlled by President Yan because of her weak mental strength, then if she commits suicide, it will not be considered a violation of the rules of the game.
"And the one who chose to be the patient here," Twelve turned sideways and pointed behind her. Her movement was not very big, and because there were many other players behind her, it would not attract attention under normal circumstances. But the person who was pointed out seemed to be observing the situation on their side, and the moment their eyes met, the other party gave Twelve a friendly smile.
After all, to some extent, this was also considered as talking about others behind their backs, and being caught red-handed, it was difficult for Twelve to suppress his guilty conscience. Although he responded to the other party with a smile, his whole face was still red. When the eldest lady noticed this, she gave the other party an apologetic smile, and then motioned for the other party to continue.
"The one just now was... the president of the Fission Power Guild—President Qian," Twelve calmed down and continued, "Her personal skill is mutation, which changes the molecular structure of objects by touching them. Currently, the scope and limitations of this skill are unclear. Judging from the history of President Qian's use of personal skills, this skill seems to be able to only be used on inanimate objects, and the changes are irregular, as if the other party can control it."
Even though I already know that there are many hidden talents in the game, I still feel a little shocked when I hear about the situation of these two presidents. One is a walking killing machine that can kill people invisible with words, and the other is a god who can change the structure of objects. Conservatively speaking, they are not very sure whether the other party can change the body structure of a living person. If they can, then as long as the other party wants, she can activate her skills the moment she touches you, which is hard to defend against.
"Miss, President One, do you want to persuade them to rebel?" President Alice was very clear about the importance of these two presidents, especially in this ultimate copy. The system chose these two neutral presidents for unknown reasons. Especially now, it was unknown whether it was accidental or inevitable that the two of them occupied area B among the patients. This was a bit subtle.
Nan Huan frowned and thought for a moment before directly objecting, "Not for now, but when all the neutral players, including them, come to ask for help, just remember to help."
Nan Huan did not explain. After giving these instructions, he waved his hand, indicating that the issue was over.
"Dear patients, it's getting late. Please follow me and go back to your respective wards to rest."
On the other side, the staff who were forced to work overtime became even more resentful after hearing this. However, President Qian figured out other meanings from President Yan's slightly unconscious expression. Ever since they were forced to split into two camps, staff and patients, the communication between the two had been cut off. Even after entering the hall, they still couldn't communicate. I don't know if it was a deliberate restriction of the system or some other reason. But after seeing that both of them were in Area B, it was obvious that President Yan and herself were relieved. She also made a gesture to the other party, indicating that there were too many people here, and to contact again when they returned to the ward. President Yan had agreed, but changed his mind in an instant and asked her to wait for her contact, as if there was some emergency. She had no choice but to agree.
Although it is impossible to tell from the outside how many floors the monster hospital has, when Nan Huan is inside, he discovers that the hospital is even bigger than he had imagined.
The hospital lobby could accommodate nearly a hundred players at the same time, and it didn't seem crowded at all. Moreover, the passages for patients and staff were different, and the two sides complemented each other without any impact at all.
On the patient's side, as soon as the preliminary examination was over, the nurses didn't care at all about these players who had immediately returned to normal. Apart from their gentle smiles as always, they felt like home compared to those players next door who had to start working immediately after entering the hospital.
Arranged according to the number and division of wards, Nanhuan and Beixi were at the front of the line and followed the nurse upstairs. There was a large spiral staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor.
Although Nan Huan absorbed the black air in the previous copy and her physical strength had increased, her physical foundation was relatively weak. She had just been blown by the wind outside and had just entered the warm hall. She was a little drowsy. Bei Xi hugged her waist, observing how long it would take, and looked around for possible elevators.
But she hadn't found the elevator yet. The moment she turned the corner, she suddenly felt as if a layer of white fog covered her eyes and she couldn't see anything. She could only hear the nurse who was leading them say, "Okay, we've arrived at Ward A."
In Nan Huan's impression, the more dangerous area should be a more secret area in the hospital, or at least a more secluded place, or the last place they would go after everyone else was sent to the place. As a result, she leaned on Bei Xi's shoulder, and before she had time to close her eyes, she heard that they had arrived.
However, the moment she opened her eyes, she did not see the white mist that Bei Xi had seen. Instead, she was surprised to find that they were no longer in the stairwell. Not to mention other players around them, there was not even a single medical staff member. There was only a long corridor that seemed to have no end.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in the minds of Nan Huan and Bei Xi.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for triggering the side quest - An alien hidden among its own kind?
Task Description:
As the deserted A District ward, the patients here have not seen new faces from outside the Monster Hospital for a long time. In order to welcome your arrival, the patients in Area A racked their brains to prepare a grand welcome party. Of course, this little trick could not be hidden from the nurses and doctors. In order not to disturb the patients' interest and ensure their safety at the same time, the staff, after careful consideration, dressed up as patients and mixed in Area A.
As newcomers, you don’t want to waste the patient’s kindness, nor do you want the staff to disturb your celebration, so you decided to quietly pull the staff out before the party ends. 】
Before Nan Huan came to her senses from the fact that she was instantly transferred to Area A, she was greeted with a task prompt. She didn't know what to complain about first and took a step back in daze. Only to find that Bei Xi followed her movements, and the arm across her waist was also blocked by a hard object.
The two of them were stunned at the same time, and instantly realized that something was wrong. They looked back at the same time, only to find that there was a solid white wall behind them. Except for walking forward, there were no passages, elevators, stairs or other parts on both sides connecting to other areas.
"There's also a white wall on the other side."
Bei Xi reacted instantly, stood in place, used his super five senses, glanced at the straight white passage in front of him, and stated another fact.
"So is Area A restricted to this area alone, cut off from other areas, or are all areas in the hospital separated in this way?" Nan Huan knocked on the wall with his hand and found that the wall was solid and there didn't seem to be any secret passages. "The hint said that medical staff were mixed in with the patients, but if that was the case, how did they get into Area A? This doesn't make sense."
Everything has its most basic logic. Even in the most unreasonable copy, there is a basic logic based on the copy, even if this logic is very different from the general situation. What shocked Nan Huan was not that there was a strange area A in the monster hospital in this form, but that if area A existed in isolation, then there would be problems with the medical staff's entry and daily work. Either there was an employee passage that they didn't know about, or there must be other secrets hidden in it.
Bei Xi knew that she was complaining because she didn't understand the situation at the moment and didn't expect an immediate answer, so she didn't comment. Instead, she stood there, narrowed her eyes, which had darkened a lot, stroked her chin with one hand, looked around carefully, and then commented carefully, "I think other strange places can be ignored for the time being. After all, we haven't explored this place in depth. But do you think this is a place where a grand party is going to be held? Not to mention a welcome banner, there's not even a balloon. Isn't that too sloppy?"
Bei Xi naturally noticed the side quest at the first time. After all, the actual situation was too different from the quest description, right? Not to mention the grand decorations, not even a single person was seen.
Nan Huan was shocked by her weird approach, but after thinking about what she said for a while, she felt that what Bei Xi said made a lot of sense. She yawned lazily and let herself lean on her arms. "Then let's go forward and take a look. Maybe the welcome gift is hidden in front. I thought I could rest after entering the ward. I underestimated the shamelessness of the system."
She was too lazy to even laugh it off while complaining about the system, and since Bei Xi regained consciousness and entered this copy, the two of them had not had a chance to have a good talk. Now was the right time, and there were not many people here, or even if there were, they chose not to show up for the time being. She could just talk to Bei Xi about another matter.
"So now can you tell me why I suddenly fell into a coma when I was in Bailan City before, and what was going on with that golden light on my body?"
Bei Xi held her in his arms as if they were on a sightseeing tour, walking forward leisurely, not distracted at all, and even able to check if there was any danger nearby. When he heard Nan Huan's words, his muscles were not tense at all, and his words were not slow at all. "I was not very clear at the time, I just felt an uncontrollable force in my body, and I passed out before I even turned my head to look at you. But when Hull showed up later, I was in the same situation as before. I could feel the changes in the outside world, but I couldn't wake up. But this time was different from before. I didn't return to the familiar environment. It was more like I was trapped in my own mind, like I was dreaming all the time, but I couldn't wake up."
Nan Huan didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he reached out and poked the totem on her neck, "Then what's going on with this..."
Before he could finish his words, Bei Xi covered his mouth. He stretched out his long arm and led the people to the other side of the corridor. He took out the iron axe with his backhand, "There's someone."
