Chapter 308 Monster Hospital (Part 7)
"Examination shows that patient 1076 is temporarily classified as... Zone A symptoms and can be admitted to the hospital."
Although the nurses and doctors had not shown any special emotions regarding the president's number before, when her test results came out, they received the same attention.
Bei Xi's expression was still a little solemn, because the cold and uncomfortable feeling in her body had not completely dissipated. She had now evolved into a taciturn person with the current situation, so she didn't seem to have anything wrong.
The remaining players who had not passed the preliminary examination could not help but look over with admiration when they heard the announcement. After all, the captain really did it. In such a short period of time, he not only fooled the nurse, but also fooled the machine without using any props.
Area A must be different. The eldest lady has a close relationship with this copy, and there are secrets about the game hidden here. No matter whether they are players in a guild alliance or those who remain neutral, they all hold the mentality of making the best of it. However, although they are envious, they feel that they do not have the ability and courage like a guild president.
Even if one could sense the patient's condition and the wards seemed to be divided according to the degree of danger, it was not easy to deceive the nurses and the machines 100%. Moreover, once something went wrong, one might even be deprived of the chance to enter the hospital. And the president's desperate jump was simply amazing. Not everyone could deliberately imitate it. Soon the president was led into the hospital.
The number of people at the hospital entrance was decreasing. Originally, the staff made up the majority, but the process here seemed to be much faster than the pre-examination on the other side, so after a while the entire line disappeared behind the strange screen.
This also includes the current presidents of the Anti-One Guild Alliance, as well as the players of their guilds. Among these players, the current president of the Seventh Guild, Sky Garden, is the leader. After all, it was the previous president, the Gambler, who brought up the guild league, but unexpectedly something went wrong with the guild league. They had to accept the eldest lady's favor and entered the ultimate copy to avoid their original destruction, and were forced to explore the mysteries of the game.
Fortunately, the presidents of the five guilds of the Anti-One Guild Alliance had made arrangements just in case before entering the guild league copy, so they only brought a capable vice president and two masters from the guild, just in case all the elite members of the guild were sent to the league copy.
But it was originally just a precautionary measure, but I didn't expect it to come true in this way.
Sky Garden is not actually the name of Guild President Xuan. It is because players who have seen her personal skill 'Sky Garden' were shocked. When she was still the vice president, she sometimes used personal skills to refer to it. However, after experiencing the unbelievable deaths in the guild league copy and the loss of so many of their elite players at one time, as well as the psychological activities of why all the players in the guild alliance were alive and well, and whether there was any conspiracy in this, she had to become the current president of the seventh guild - Miracle Art, and had to become the leader of everyone in this ultimate copy.
From the moment she heard the choice given to her in the dark, she understood that this copy was not simple. It was not until she logged in and confirmed the sacrifice of the Gambler's Guild Leader and other players, and that the current president and players of their Anti-One Guild Alliance happened to be selected by the system.
Although there were still some neutral players from small guilds, they posed no threat to them for the time being in terms of numbers. Then, the current presidents of their five guilds quickly reinforced the original alliance after confirming that the original president was indeed dead, while the players of one guild alliance were alive and well without any losses.
Time goes back to after the patient OR staff selection.
The other players lined up in the front, with only a few guild leaders hanging at the end of the line, opening the anti-eavesdropping channel.
The current president of the Fifth Guild, Order Without Order, was wiping his clean and smooth lenses while casually glancing at the figure of the young lady on the other side of the patient. "If one or two of our people are still alive, it means that it wasn't that woman who did it."
"Why should I doubt it? She is the only one who collected six pieces of the Faith Totem Fragments and summoned the Faith Totem," Mandala, the current president of the Ninth Guild, the Secret of Witchcraft, said expressionlessly, "And this ultimate copy. I think without her, the black energy in all the copies and the rest area would not appear."
The current president of the third guild, Land of Submission, was a little displeased when he heard this. He cracked his fingers and looked fiercely at the direction where the young lady entered the hospital. "No matter what the reason is, the players who have not entered the dungeon now have to put their lives and property on the young lady's shoulders. Those of us who have entered the dungeon still have some autonomy to choose. I like to hold my own destiny in my own hands. You should be the same, right?"
The five people present understood this suggestive statement, but no one continued to talk about this topic. Instead, the current president of the 8th Guild, the Saint of the Soul Journey, saw that President Xuan had been silent the whole time, and touched him in confusion, "President Xuan, you set up this private communication channel, what do you want to explain? Why haven't you said anything the whole time?"
President Xuan then retracted his gaze from President Yan at the end of the team, "What do you think is the possibility that President Yan is in the same situation as us?"
She didn't say this explicitly, but the Saints' Guild President quickly understood what she meant. He squinted his eyes and observed for a while before cautiously responding, "We can't be sure yet. After all, we don't know... the system's selection criteria. In addition to the players in our own guild, other players are possible, but we can't be 100% sure. Moreover, it's not a good idea to ask about this matter directly. If you're not careful, it will be leaked..."
She didn't say anything else, but everyone understood the meaning behind it.
President Xuan nodded slightly, "After we enter the hospital, everyone should be careful. If it is possible to bring President Yan to us, or if we can confirm that she has made the same choice as us, that would be even better."
All the guild leaders have heard of the name of President Yan, but before, everyone kept to themselves and did not interfere with each other in the game for so many years. But the current situation is nothing like the peaceful resting place. Since the opening of this ultimate copy, it means that there is no neutrality anymore. Every player who enters this copy will make a corresponding choice. Therefore, if they can win over President Yan, they will have a greater chance of winning. Everyone knows this.
What's more, this is the ultimate copy that concerns the secrets of the game. There is only this one chance. The current presidents of the Anti-Guild One Alliance don't want to hand over their lives to the eldest lady and the players of Guild One.
When President Yan stood at the end of the line, although she could not hear the obvious secret conversations of the presidents in front of her, she could feel their gazes on her intentionally or unintentionally.
Although she still didn't know what went wrong with the game, and what the young lady, the guild, and other players had experienced in the league instance, at this point, she knew that playing it safe was no longer effective, and her neutrality couldn't be maintained for too long. She would become someone that both sides would want to win over, or to eliminate, in other words, "cannon fodder."
I have just entered the game and I am weak and alone, so it is not appropriate to start a conflict now.
Just like that, both the president and players of the Anti-One Guild Alliance, and the neutral President Yan, were forced to walk behind the screen after signing the "Staff Admission Informed Consent Form".
If you maintain a certain super God's perspective, you will find that President Yan rushed into the only room in the corridor without changing his expression, and reacted in a very short time, pushed the door open, stood at the door and listened to a whole series of seemingly unrelated things. When he raised his hand and knocked on the door for the second time and got a response, in this enlarged virtual space, you can actually see many identical pure white corridors, as well as signboards on both sides of the corridor that were only displayed for a while, employee information, and floor diagrams, etc.
All players who chose to become staff members and signed the "Staff Admission Informed Consent Form" were assigned different white channels and faced the same scene.
Perhaps other players did not react so quickly, but the five presidents who had just taken office and President Yan all reacted almost immediately. This was part of the recruitment, or part of the job arrangement. After all, the letter of consent only mentioned staff members, but did not specify their positions. It should not be so vague. In addition, after they entered the screen, they did not immediately go directly to the hospital lobby, but came here, so it was obvious that everything here indicated a testing atmosphere.
However, even though they discovered this at the same time, due to differences in personal skills or understanding of the rules, there were slight differences in the behaviors of the several presidents.
Except for President Yan who entered the room quietly and left quietly after reacting immediately, the remaining presidents all made a little noise, but none of them caused irreversible consequences.
However, after hearing about the confusing patient's escape from the room, the presidents made different choices.
For example, the president of the Saints and the president of the Honors Students did not ask about Nurse Zhang at all, but instead focused on the identities of Nurse Hao and Nurse Wang. They used props and personal skills to ask the other party the truth to the greatest extent they could know under the system restrictions, and then they couldn't wait to knock on the door.
Another example is President Mandragora and President Loan Shark. They both clearly noticed that the patient's escape was not normal, but they ignored some of the information in the corridor before, so they could not guess the whole truth. Finally, in a short period of time, they decided to knock on the door directly, and then use their skills to directly control one of Nurse Hao and Nurse Wang, and let the other party directly admit their crimes in front of the Acting Dean. However, due to system limitations, they only obtained some documentary evidence.
Compared with the above two situations, President Xuan not only noticed the news on both sides of the corridor, but also set his sights on the wrongly accused Nurse Zhang. Unfortunately, President Xuan's personal skills had no effect on Nurse Zhang. And because even though Nurse Zhang was demoted, she was still the boss of a newcomer like her, so she could only watch Nurse Zhang leave and could not learn the truth of the matter.
But when President Yan knocked on the door, she was basically confident. The acting dean in the room seemed to have been waiting for her all the time. However, this time, there were no insufficient cups, paper balls thrown on the ground, and brooms placed randomly in the room.
President Yan just took a quick glance and stood quietly aside, even retracting his gaze and not in a hurry to speak.
The acting dean was sitting behind the desk, sizing him up. After about two minutes, he slowly spoke, "I thought you were the one knocking on the door, so you spoke first?"
At first glance, this sounded like a joke between colleagues who had been together for a long time. The other party's tone was also very calm, and his words did not seem to pursue any answer, but President Yan still spoke.
"It was the leaders who arranged for me to come here to study, and I have been waiting for their instructions."
When President Yan spoke, the gangster-like air that came from having been in society for a long time was instantly restrained, leaving only the clean aura of a newcomer, but without seeming too stupid.
The acting dean looked at her with a smile, and seemed very satisfied with her answer and reaction. After a pause, he introduced himself, "I am the acting dean of this hospital. I am the highest-ranking person in this monster hospital, except for the dean."
So he is the acting dean, so is that why he is called acting dean?
This self-introduction was actually a bit strange, because under normal circumstances, most people would be modest and would not use such a straightforward way. President Yan silently took note of the other party's words, bowed slightly to him, and greeted him very respectfully, "Hello, Acting Dean."
She was not at all anxious about why she was here, nor was she anxious about what position she would be assigned to, but she was very respectful and didn't talk much. She was an employee that the leader would like.
The acting dean's gaze finally lingered on the other person for a while longer. "Tell me why you didn't say anything when you first came in, and left by the door as if you didn't see anything?"
If everything just now was a test, then now it was the leader's personal exploration of his mental journey. President Yan knew that his behavior just now should have met the requirements to some extent. He breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and then slowly said, "I am a newcomer in the hospital. It was my mistake to appear in such an occasion. I don't think any of my superiors would want to be dismissed and punished in front of me."
Those insufficient numbers of cups, paper balls, kettles, brooms and the like are actually just interference options. After all, after entering the screen, all players understand that this scene is equivalent to a normal interview. They all want to perform well in the hope of getting a good position. Having a keen eye is the primary skill that people in the workplace must have.
Especially when they see such obvious test questions, it is easy for them to forget the informed consent form they just signed, which states that they must not violate the orders of their superiors.
This shows that job hierarchies are very strict in this hospital, so in a room full of your superiors, do you think the leader who is likely to become your superior in the workplace in the future would like to be fired and lectured in front of you?
Compared to a few balls of paper or a few glasses of water, this potential threat was much greater, so the moment he figured it out, President Yan turned around and left quietly.
"But you didn't just leave. You stood outside and listened to the entire outcome and course of events."
I don’t know if it’s because the hospital hasn’t received such a shrewd staff member for a long time, but the acting dean’s eyes were obviously much softer than before. When she spoke again, there was a hint of blame in her words, but it was not very heavy, which made President Yan understand at once that the other party had to continue to follow the system process here, so she felt much more relaxed when she spoke again.
"I thought that since the leader called me over at this time, there must be something important to tell me, so I didn't dare to stay too far away. I did hear something I shouldn't have heard when I was outside the door. I hope Acting Dean doesn't mind."
President Yan rolled her eyes in her heart. It was obviously the system that arranged for her to hear it. Otherwise, why didn't she make any sound when she was standing outside the door, but when she came out and went back in it was as if she had super hearing. However, she certainly couldn't say this.
After all, the Dean Dai already knew that she had eavesdropped, and if she denied it now, it would be suspected of being insincere, so she simply spoke very smoothly to clear herself of the suspicion of deliberately eavesdropping. At this point she pretended to be hesitant to speak and looked at the Dean Dai, and finally, as if she had finally made up her mind, she spoke again.
"There is one more thing. I have thought about it and I think I should tell you, Acting Dean. I just heard outside the door about the whole story of the escape of Patient X from Area B last week. My thoughts are a bit immature, so please correct me, Acting Dean."
What she said was very skillful. It showed her anxiety of inadvertently hearing some facts but then deducing a different truth. After much hesitation, she decided to tell the truth, but she also left a way out by saying that her ideas were immature and asked the Acting Dean to correct them.
The Acting Dean was obviously very convinced by President Yan's words. He nodded with satisfaction and let the other party speak directly.
"I think the person responsible for the patient's escape was not Nurse Zhang, but Nurse Hao, Nurse Wang and security guard Guo who worked together to create this escape incident. I'm afraid that patient X is also innocent."
As soon as she finished speaking, before she had time to see the expression on the president's face, she heard a system prompt.
【bite--
My careful friend, you finally grasped the key point of the whole thing.
Although you are just a newcomer, you discovered the truth about the escape. 】
