Chapter 325 Monster Hospital (Twenty-four)
Looking at the calm expressions on the faces of patients No. 151 and 111, Nan Huan realized that these two people seemed so calm because they knew they would not be contaminated by the black flowers.
The black flowers blooming from the vortex failed to touch and immediately changed their target and faced Nan Huan. Bei Xi quickly grabbed Nan Huan's waist, stood in front of her, pulled out the iron spear, and stabbed the black flowers.
It was just that the scene just now was played out again, and a faint golden light emanated from Bei Xi's body, blocking the black flowers and bouncing them back directly. The iron axe in Bei Xi's hand seemed somewhat useless.
Nan Huan understood it immediately. For some unknown reason, someone had set up a protective circle around these patients, so the black flowers could not get close to them at all. And because she and Bei Xi had become patients in Area A, they had also entered the protected area.
But if that was the case, why were these black flowers rushing out of the whirlpool? It couldn't be a simple trick to take away President Xuan and the other two, right?
This was not in line with the style of the evil god. She took the three people away, probably because she had made a deal with them. The fact that nearly half of the three people were covered with black energy was the best proof. But Nan Huan didn't believe that the evil god would do anything extra for them.
Bei Xi also put away the iron axe at this time, with a puzzled look on his face. He must have thought of the same question as Nan Huan.
"The reminder to complete the task never sounded." Nan Huan stood there observing the flowers, his frown loosening a little as he thought of something, "There are more than three people who sneaked in disguised as staff members..."
Those black flowers failed one after another. There were four people in the room, but they couldn't succeed in targeting any of them. They were just flying around like headless flies. But in the moment when Nan Huan was talking, they seemed to suddenly become half wise and had a goal. They woke up from their dizzy state and left the room in the next second. The whole process took no more than three seconds.
Nan Huan originally saw the reactions of patients No. 151 and No. 111 and thought that they must know some news, but the current situation did not allow her time to inquire further.
Those black flowers must have determined their next target, or the real target, so they left. In addition, President Xuan and the other three have disappeared in the vortex. If there are other players who are staff members here, they must not be in the same group as President Xuan and the other three. They did not act together, and that person did not disappear with them. Now he has become the next target of the black flowers. This situation is not right no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, Nan Huan and Bei Xi had to follow the direction that Hei Hua left and leave the room of patient No. 151.
There were traces of flowers leaving in both directions. Nanhuan was stunned for a moment. Could it be that there were players in both directions?
Bei Xi reacted faster. The situation here was unclear. The other party split into two groups. She didn't know whether they wanted to lure her and Nan Huan apart, or for some other reason. Although it was certain that the black flowers could not hurt Nan Huan, Bei Xi did not dare to take the risk. So before Nan Huan opened his mouth and said it would be better to chase them separately, she hugged the other party a little tighter and chased in the direction where there were more flowers.
President Yan did not dare to stay in the room for too long. Since the system notified her of entering Area A, the infection would intensify over time. She only waited for a few seconds and did not see President Xuan and the other three contact her. She knew that even in this situation, they still chose to deal with the eldest lady and President Yi first.
President Yan silently lit a candle for the three of them in her heart, thinking that they were too confident in some deals that were not brought to the table. Although she had never seen the eldest lady and the first president in person, when the entire copy and the game were invaded and the rest area fell, the eldest lady could obviously ignore those people who had nothing to do with her and even had a lot of revenge against her, but she still sent invitations to the ultimate copy to everyone and gave them a chance to choose. Based on this point alone, President Yan felt that she was not the kind of person who could kill indiscriminately.
What's more, a new player who has just entered the game can get a piece of Faith Totem Fragment in every copy she enters. If she collects all the fragments and opens the ultimate copy, she will have the support of a guild behind her. Both her own strength and the guild alliance behind her should not be underestimated.
She had dealt with several of the guilds and presidents of the First Guild Alliance, and none of them were unreasonable, so there must be other reasons for them to unite. So, between whether she should remind the First Guild President and the eldest lady, or find patient X first to prevent her own infection from getting worse, President Yan chose the latter.
Patient X's sudden appearance in Area A should not have gone unnoticed by the patients here. After all, the system had disguised them as Area A patients when they appeared here. But President Yan felt that Patient X should not be disguised as a Area A patient. After all, he disappeared from Area B every night, and everything was calm before, except that someone followed them in this time. So President Yan was more inclined to believe that Patient X was secretly hiding somewhere in Area A.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no access control for the patients here. They were still walking around outside in twos and threes late at night. This gave her convenience, allowing her to check inside the room using the familiar faces of the patients in Area A.
There was no more space in the ward except under the bed where someone could hide. President Yan had checked several rooms with quick hands and feet, but had not found any possible trace of Patient X.
She also knew that this was a simple method, especially since she didn't have much time now. However, apart from changing her face, the system didn't seem to give her any more hints. She could only temporarily suppress her impatience and force herself to calm down.
After searching another ward, nothing was found. President Yan had not yet left the room, but he seemed to sense something. He stared at the door, and suddenly several black flowers flew towards him aggressively.
President Yan reacted quickly. The moment he took out a long sword from the control panel, he tried to activate his personal skill, "Stop, don't attack..."
There was an indescribable ethereal quality to her voice, as if she had sensed some kind of aura and had changed the tone of her voice.
The black flower that was attacking aggressively just now seemed to understand what President Yan said. It paused for a few seconds and then resumed its attacking posture. Fortunately, President Yan did not rely on her personal ability, so she was not caught off guard. However, when her sword pointed at one of the flowers, the flower flexibly bypassed her sword.
President Yan's personal skill - silver tongue, will add persuasiveness when speaking, making people agree unconsciously, and the strongest ability can allow the player to commit suicide, but this skill has a drawback, it must be used on an NPC who can understand what is said, or a conscious being. What surprised President Yan was not that the black flowers were not controlled by the skill, but that they paused for two seconds before launching the attack again.
The two-second pause indicated that these flowers seemed to be conscious, but not under her control. Either her personal skills were not good enough, or there were other reasons. But now was not the time to think too much, because she found that after the black flowers bypassed her sword, they did not attack her directly as expected. Instead, it was a bit like...
As soon as there was some movement in the room, the ward was opened again, and the eldest lady and the president finally rushed over.
They met unexpectedly, and President Yan had no time to think carefully about whether something went wrong on the part of President Xuan that exposed them, or whether this sudden black flower had some deeper meaning.
Bei Xi didn't see President Yan's appearance clearly at all. She just confirmed that the situation of this player was completely different from that of the three people led by President Xuan. She immediately swung her sleeves, and saw many transparent tentacles flying out of her sleeves, grabbing the black flowers approaching President Yan one by one in the tentacles.
The moment those black flowers were caught, they disappeared like a wisp of black smoke with a bang. They were completely different from the appearance of the five-clawed creatures that had just rushed out of Patient No. 151's room.
Is it so easy to solve?
Why was it a little different from what they imagined? Nan Huan poked his head out from behind Bei Xi and looked around the room. For a moment he didn't understand what the evil god was trying to do by doing this.
President Yan looked at President Yi with some curiosity. He had not received the news before that the other party had the same skill as the jellyfish, and that thing was extremely easy for her to use, just like her own hand, and it did not feel like a prop at all.
"Um, excuse me, I want to ask, do you have any black marks of infection on your body?"
Nan Huan could probably guess who the person in front of her was, but the situation was complicated after all. She didn't want the other party to think that they had any other purpose, so she didn't reveal her identity, but just asked about her physical condition.
The young lady's question was very gentle and without any malice. President Yan then realized that the black flowers just now were related to infection, but the infection on her body was obviously related to time. No wonder...
"We received a side quest and came to Area A," President Yan thought for a few seconds and chose to tell the truth, "After entering Area A, the body will be infected over time. And those black flowers just now, they dodged my sword but did not attack me immediately. It seems that they were just playing hide-and-seek with me..."
President Yan suddenly realized that there was an information gap between the two sides. The president and the eldest lady had no idea about her current level of infection. It had nothing to do with the number of flowers, but everything to do with time.
When she was halfway through her words, Nan Huan and Bei Xi frowned at the same time, "Oh no, it's not this side, we've been lured away from the mountain, this is just a trick..."
Before they could finish their words, they both turned around and headed in another direction.
