Chapter 365 Monster Hospital (Sixty-four)
【Warning, the third source of infection has been activated. 】
Since they had already made the choice when facing the first door, that they wanted to temporarily control the source of infection within the ultimate copy, then the choices they would make for the following doors were already determined from the beginning.
As the two made their choices, the system's prompt sounded, and the door on the wall of the activity room was opened first. The sound of violent heartbeats seemed to be buzzing in Nan Huan's ears, until the golden light, as if sensing a familiar presence and call, entered Nan Huan's heart.
Nan Huan was pushed back several steps by the sudden impact before Bei Xi hugged him to steady his body. The pain in his heart did not diminish with the return of a piece of heart fragment. On the contrary, it became more obvious because of their appearance. As the heart fragments returned to their place, they brought more memories and past events.
【Warning, the fourth source of infection has been activated. 】
【Warning, the fifth source of infection has been activated. 】
The system prompt sounded like an indifferent outsider, watching all this, watching the energy that could sustain the operation of the entire Monster Hospital being opened up little by little by Nan Huan, releasing the black air that had been suppressed for who knows how long.
Until the moment the fifth source of infection was activated, the black air that was originally forbidden in the biochemical area seemed to be suddenly released. The restrictions in every area of the entire Monster Hospital were completely broken, and all the black air began to rise at once.
Nan Huan was completely wrapped in golden light, but his chest was not completely filled. Bei Xi's attention was always on the biochemical area.
After all, when they got the news from the acting dean's office, it was already clear that the source of infection in the biochemical area had already been activated and began to wake up, but was unable to move freely due to certain restrictions.
But until now, we still can't see where the last piece of Shenqi's heart fell. If Nanhuan and Beixi had never come into contact with the biochemical area from beginning to end, and had not made any choices regarding the biochemical area, how could the source of infection there be directly activated and begin to wake up?
Bei Xi inexplicably had a bad premonition. Although the current situation was not optimistic, she instinctively cared about things related to Nan Huan, especially with the activation of the fifth source of infection. Her memories of Nan Huan had been restored, but strangely, the condition she had due to the infection did not worsen because of the facts before her. On the contrary, it disappeared very secretly.
The restlessness that she had originally felt from the black energy seemed to have disappeared without a trace after the ban was completely lifted.
But at the moment, she couldn't think so much, because Nan Huan's body couldn't bear so much energy and memory at once. The whole person was already in the air, with an expression of extreme pain on his face. Bei Xi had no choice but to hug him tightly, trying to accompany her through this painful time temporarily.
As all the sources of infection fully awakened, those patients and players who were temporarily controlled and in more serious conditions were briefly awakened. They didn't know why they were kneeling here, nor did they know what they were chanting. They only knew that the moment they regained consciousness, the entire Monster Hospital began to shake violently from the ground as if it had suffered an earthquake.
Each ward that was originally closed, with no way out or entrance, slowly revealed its true appearance amid the shaking. The wall that sealed each ward finally let go of its clamped hands like an old man, and the existence of the entire hospital was revealed to everyone.
At the same time, accompanied by the black gas floating in the air, players like President Barbie, President Yan, and Twelve, who were still in a state of clear consciousness, had already begun to fight back at the moment the earth shook.
Because they could feel that at that moment, some kind of restriction seemed to be opened, and the influence of the black gas on them was constantly increasing. At the same time, everyone noticed that in the opened biochemical area not far away, there was flowing more viscous and pure black gas, like a dark army, trying to engulf everything in the Monster Hospital with an overwhelming posture.
At this moment, all the players who were still conscious in the ultimate copy heard the system's solemn prompt. After all, they had never heard the system's tone that sounded more like a human and carried an admonition before.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for triggering the ultimate main mission - Eliminating Infection. 】
All the players were shocked, as they did not expect the ultimate main quest to arrive so soon. However, those players who had entered the dungeon with the eldest lady and the president, whether they were friendly or enemy, felt it was absolutely natural after being shocked. After all, since the eldest lady entered the game, any dungeon she entered, no matter how difficult it was, seemed to have a peculiar ability that could push the development of the dungeon forward in the shortest time.
But this is a 3S level ultimate copy after all. Except for some players in the BC ward who keep in touch with the eldest lady and the president, and know some news about the copy, the remaining players did not realize until the main task was released that they seemed to have no important information about this copy at all. What exactly is the infection?
But now they no longer have the instinct to ask questions, and can only try to dig out more information from the system's task description.
【Task Description: The so-called pollution is actually the evil thoughts that have been passed down from ancient times. Everyone has evil thoughts. One thought arises, and one thought disappears. The cycle of cause and effect creates the myriad worlds and the cycle of heaven. But the tragedy is that the last God Qi in the world, in the long years and billions of cycles of heaven, has developed pity for mankind and prevented destruction, but also developed evil thoughts. God Qi's natural spirituality destined that the evil thoughts she fostered would not be so easy to dispel, and she would continue to plant the seeds of evil thoughts in the hearts of humans and devour them. 】
Until this moment, or before entering the ultimate copy, facing the dense black air that invaded all copies and rest areas, even the players who couldn't believe it had to admit that the game they were in was not a simple game.
Therefore, no one now associates the system's words with any mythological stories.
Moreover, as the system prompt sounded and the entire Monster Hospital was expanded, the figures of Nan Huan and Bei Xi finally came into everyone's sight. The golden light on Nan Huan's body was exactly the same as the golden light that had suppressed the black air before. How could people not think too much?
What's more, when the warning of the awakening of the infection source sounded just now, most of the players had regained their sanity, and they watched with their own eyes how many rays of golden light flew into the eldest lady's body.
It is not difficult to guess who the Shenqi the system is talking about, but the system mentioned destruction, which means that they should not have existed many years ago, and it was because of Shenqi's interference that today's situation was caused.
Those players who were originally in the same guild alliance also had some big waves in their hearts, but they mostly felt that they had made the right decision and that people like the eldest lady were indeed from the Holy Heart.
But for the players of the Anti-One Guild Alliance, they finally realized that they had been deceived by the evil god, realized their short-sightedness, and realized that their previous choices were not simply aimed at a game or a slightly more powerful player, but at the savior of mankind.
At this point, the gazes that each of them cast on the young lady became different. Even until Bei Xi finally landed on the ground with Nan Huan in her arms, no player dared to surround them immediately.
But Bei Xi's expression was always indifferent. She was not a human being. She had been sticking to her original intention and not harming humans before. It was not because she had much love for them, but she just didn't want to use her superior ability to oppress them. In the end, she gave up herself and wanted Shen Qi to completely solve those evil thoughts. It was not because she was so great, nor because she cared about the people. She just didn't want to make things difficult for Shen Qi.
I also don't want the other person to spend the next billions of years of his life in guilt and regret just for saving me.
So she didn't really like the looks those humans gave Nan Huan. Some of them looked at her with respect and distance because of Nan Huan's true identity, some looked at her with fear and reluctance because Nan Huan had the power of life and death over them, and some even felt that they had made the wrong choice from the beginning, and were ready to give up and feel very resentful.
In short, Bei Xi didn't like it very much. If she had a choice, she would want to lock up Nan Huan and never allow anyone to look at her. But before, she knew that such a thing would never happen. Now think about it, it should be even more impossible in the future.
Countless horrible thoughts could clearly flood her mind in a single second, but she was extremely cautious when holding Nan Huan in her arms, fearing that he would be sad.
However, even though the system's voice suddenly became more humane, it did not leave more time for Nan Huan and Bei Xi. Instead, it continued to educate other players diligently about Shen Qi's original choice.
[Many years ago, before Shen Qi was about to reincarnate, in order to protect more humans, she buried those evil thoughts deep underground, hoping to completely eliminate them after reincarnation. However, as fate would have it, some monsters were bred on that land because of the evil thoughts. In addition, Shen Qi's evil thoughts gave birth to three souls and seven spirits, and they had thoughts. Shen Qi's one thought made the late catastrophe have the sign of reappearing on the earth again. Shen Qi had to break her heart into pieces and built this hospital to protect those monsters while suppressing the evil thoughts.
Until now, all the evil thoughts have been released.
Because of Shenqi's choice, the field of the ultimate copy has been temporarily blocked. Please eliminate these evil thoughts before dawn. Otherwise, after dawn, the field of the ultimate copy will be broken, and the catastrophe that has been delayed for many years will sweep across all existing worlds and destroy all existence.
Tip: Whether the dungeon's field is broken or the infection is not completely eliminated, the game will disappear directly. 】
"What do you mean by sweeping across all the worlds and destroying all existence?" The system's voice suddenly disappeared, and the entire Monster Hospital space became very empty. Some players took a long time to find their voices again. "Does it mean that the players in the buffer zone will not be spared? Just like before we entered the ultimate dungeon, will the black air swallow us all?"
It takes too long to enter the game, and some players may have psychologically regarded this as a real game. They know that if they are injured in the game, as long as they don't die, they can recover when they return to the resting place.
But now the rest area has been invaded by black air, and they finally realized that the game is no longer just a game. After all, after being injured here, there is no rest area for them to recuperate.
The barriers between copies have also been eliminated. What's more, the entire game is just the last line of defense for the human catastrophe. If we fail here, will the belated catastrophe reappear?
Some players need to understand more clearly. Although they are reluctant to break other people's fantasies, it has come to this moment and everyone must work together. "I'm afraid it will only be worse than this. You forgot that the world we lived in before coming here, the relatives and friends we like and love, and the world we live in will also be destroyed..."
This fact is indeed too heavy, or perhaps all the players never thought that the final solution to the game would be a cosmic disaster, a scene they have only seen in movies.
Perhaps when they watched those movies about saving the world in the cinema, they also tried to put themselves into the perspective of the protagonist, imagining that they had special powers to save the world and save the people they loved.
But when all this really happens in front of everyone, they will find that their shoulders are not as heavy as they imagined, and they are capable of taking on this responsibility and being responsible for the people they love.
At times like this, people's admiration for the strong will begin to arise again, and they all want to place their hopes on the strong, hoping that someone can carry the world on their shoulders.
But before the players standing in the ward could turn their eyes to Nan Huan again, they were interrupted by Twelve, "What are you looking at? What's so good about it? Don't forget that this is the final instance. We heard about the main quest. If you think you can get out of here safely relying on one person, then you might as well just end your life right now. We don't keep idle people in our guild. If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself."
As he spoke, Twelve swung his whip, and the black air that had just crowded in front of him was dispersed at once. Except for the players from the guild alliance, the rest of the players with bad intentions felt that Twelve's whip was not hitting the black air, but was clearly hitting them in the face.
But it must be said that this is still somewhat effective. After all, from the moment the system opened, the players always had a feeling of unreality. Until this moment, when they saw the black air being dispersed by Twelve's whip, they realized that they still had personal skills and that the black air could be repelled. They finally recovered from that unreal feeling.
Nan Huan has basically responded to the energy in her body. Apart from a little more divinity, there is no other difference. After hearing Twelve's words, he patted her head, as if to encourage her.
When everyone saw her actions and familiar expression, they felt relieved. President Yan, President Barbie, President Alice and other presidents gathered around. In addition to confirming the situation of the two, they also needed to know more information.
Among them, President Yan was the first to bear the brunt, "Since the clamp was broken, the black energy seems to be different from before." She observed the expression of the eldest lady while reporting her findings. Although she had not spent a long time with the eldest lady, she admired her in her heart and of course hoped that she would be safe.
"The black energy before could not be touched or broken. Once touched, you would be infected. But now it is different. Although you will still be infected if you touch it, it will not be fatal. It's just that you are easily affected in such an illusion."
"The black energy before was the work of the evil god, who wanted to use you to open the restriction of the infection source." Bei Xi saw that Nan Huan's face was still a little pale, so she simply spoke for him, "It can't be considered as real evil thoughts. These now are the evil thoughts that have been suppressed for tens of millions of years. The evil god used them to completely control you and turn this world into an existence dominated by her alone."
President Yan keenly heard that what the president said was "I want to completely control you" instead of "us", but he did not ask more questions. He also understood that it would not be so easy after this fierce battle.
"Most of these evil thoughts are ordinary human evil thoughts, you can deal with them," Bei Xi didn't care whether President Yan understood what he meant or not, he just explained to himself, "It's just that the number is a big problem, especially these evil thoughts, which are now controlled by the evil god, so the ultimate goal of this main task is actually to eliminate the evil god and Man Wugui, so our goal has not changed."
All around were familiar players, some having worked together before, some just starting to work together in this dungeon, and some players from Guild One itself. They had all dealt with Guild Leader One to some extent, but at this moment, they truly felt for the first time that not only had the young lady changed, but Guild Leader One had changed as well.
Although she was always cold before, and rarely smiled except to the eldest lady, she still cared about many things, such as the internal affairs of her own guild. For example, she never took the initiative to provoke unrest, and even treated players from other guilds in the alliance with courtesy.
But now, she acted even more indifferent, and her words directly pointed out the conflicts with Xieshen and Man Wugui. She did not hide her disgust for the two of them. It was more like she was deliberately revealing something in her words, and it seemed as if she was reminding everyone, wanting everyone to stay alert and stay away from her.
