Chapter 15
At six o'clock in the morning, the sounds outside disappeared, and the sunlight came in through the window little by little. Shen Yunzhe was still sitting on the ground.
It was at this time that Shen Yunzhe realized that he seemed to have been here for two days, and he had not slept an eye in these two days and two nights, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Who dares to sleep?
Wan Cen disappeared when the sunlight came in. It seemed that Wan Cen would only appear in Ward 404 at night when the hospital was open.
Shen Yunzhe felt that his vision was going dark, and the pinch marks on his neck became more vivid and terrifying with the passage of time. He forced himself to take out the documents he had found in the dean's office from his arms, and began to read the words on them in the dim light. Some of the files were transcripts, and some were Wan Cen's medical records.
There are also records of communication between the psychiatrist and Wan Cen.
【record】
"The nurse on duty said: He came out of the ward at night. At that time, the patient and his family were asleep. The nurses on duty would not watch him all night. He went to the roof alone. It's my fault that I didn't notice him coming out. But who knows how he got to the top floor? It was always locked."
'Doctor on duty: I was called to the emergency department to deal with a child who was in a car accident. I really don't know anything. Don't call me.'
'Security guard: I was on patrol when I heard a bang. I shone my flashlight over and saw him lying on the ground. The ground was covered in blood, but for some reason he seemed to be smiling. It was really scary.'
"Cleaner: I'm just here to clean. It's useless for the police to ask me."
[Dead Person's File]
Wan Cen, male, 23 years old, a university graduate, dropped out of school due to family circumstances. He had a very bad relationship with his parents. After committing suicide, he was sent to the hospital without anyone to take care of him and was unable to pay for medical expenses. His mental state before committing suicide was worrying, and he was suspected of having a mental illness.
"An examination revealed that the deceased had jumped from a high-rise building. The fatal wound was on the back of the head, and no other injuries were found. The corners of the body had a stiff smile. Surveillance footage showed the deceased leaving the ward alone."
【Medical Records】
"Psychiatrist: He has paranoid delusions. This disorder causes the patient to believe something is threatening their safety, and they will engage in all kinds of bizarre behaviors to protect themselves. Wan Cen has always believed that he found a phone that is inhabited by a demon, and the demon is coming out of the phone, and he has no control over it. If he jumped from the building to escape this delusional demon, it is also possible. Unfortunately, we were planning to transfer him to a mental hospital for treatment tomorrow."
"Surgeon: We had a lot of trouble rescuing him. There are so many people who commit suicide when they are depressed. We can't just assume he's mentally ill. This one has a background of family discord. Who would have thought... and he's only been in the hospital for a few days."
"Director: The hospital has regulations. We can't just send someone to a mental hospital. We have to follow the rules. No one dares to do that without the family's consent. Isn't that right, police officer?"
【Left behind by the deceased】
"I hear its voice every night. What does it look like? I don't know. It's probably a dark shadow, something shapeless or flowing. It hides in the phone and keeps killing people who pick it up. Once it kills enough people, it will come out of the phone and kill more people. Doctor, it's about to come out. When it comes out, it will definitely kill everyone in the hospital."
'I'm not lying, I've heard it in other wards too, I'm not mentally ill.'
'Once it comes out, everything will be over!'
Putting the document on the ground, Shen Yunzhe pressed his temples. He was so dizzy that he couldn't even see the words clearly.
Leaning against the door, Shen Yunzhe tried to touch the door handle.
【What are you doing? 】
"Find someone else. This is a safe house. If we stay here for now, we won't be hunted by the shadows." Shen Yunzhe murmured softly, as if sighing, "No more deaths."
But you can't.
As soon as the system finished speaking, Shen Yunzhe lost his strength, his vision gradually blurred, and the whole person slowly slid to the ground. His last consciousness was the shaking door handle in front of him, but he knew that it was not the door handle that was shaking, but himself.
"I said at the outset that I'm allocating parallel worlds based on your current tolerance. Synchronization certainly requires your physical strength. Two days and two nights without sleep and the injuries you sustained along the way are suppressing your spirit. If you continue to overdraw your mental strength, you'll die."
"Perhaps it was my fault for assigning you the codename Forensic Doctor. His sense of responsibility was so strong that it suppressed your own personality."
【Go to sleep and take advantage of the last time to recover your strength. 】
…
When Shen Yunzhe woke up, the sun was already setting. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen, and found that it was already past five in the afternoon. He had slept for almost twelve hours. Shen Yunzhe tapped his temples hard, and then hurriedly turned on the live broadcast.
The comments in the live broadcast room were sparse. Watching a sleeping man was not as exciting as watching other players' life and death trials.
From the barrage, Shen Yunzhe knew that Yang Siwei was still dead. She had lost too much blood and was targeted by the shadow. She was soon dragged into a narrow space by the shadow, and all the bones in her body were broken. Now the shadow was chasing Qin Chao, and Qin Chao was only barely alive with Le Jia's help.
Shen Yunzhe struggled to stand up, still feeling shaky, but he felt much better because of the sleep he had just had.
The hospital is about to open. Instead of risking your life to save Qin Chao now, it is better to complete the mission first. After the mission is completed, all surviving players can leave.
Dong, the bells ring and night comes.
Qingcheng Jianbai Central Hospital opened.
Wan Cen's figure appeared on the hospital bed with the sound of the bell and the shadow. He sat there and stared at Shen Yunzhe with a strange sense of anticipation in his eyes. Shen Yunzhe didn't know what he was expecting, he just wanted to end this game as soon as possible.
"I found your body, and I also found your past." Shen Yunzhe threw the documents in his hand to Wan Cen. "Now, where is your soul?"
Wan Cen seemed to be smiling, his eyebrows were curved, and his dark eyes were filled with light.
He raised his hand and pointed at himself.
He was telling Shen Yunzhe: His soul is here.
"Who are you kidding? You don't look like Wan Cen now." Shen Yunzhe said.
Wan Cen shook his head and pointed at himself persistently with expectation in his eyes. Shen Yunzhe clicked his tongue and took out the mobile phone he had taken from his pocket. After seeing the phone, Wan Cen's eyes brightened. He nodded desperately and stretched out his hand, asking Shen Yunzhe to give him the phone.
It's very weird, but in this kind of inherently weird playground, it seems very normal.
Shen Yunzhe smiled, raised his phone, and threw it hard to the ground in front of Wan Cen's wide-open eyes. Because of the force and angle used, the phone broke into three pieces with a click.
He would never give this phone, which looked wrong no matter how you looked at it, to Wan Cen, who looked wrong no matter how you looked at him.
"Everyone who died in the hospital turned into a shadow. Wan Cen said the demon in the phone was a dark, shadow-like thing. The records repeatedly mentioned that the people in the hospital had gone crazy and were attacking each other. So what are you? Wan Cen committed suicide by jumping off a building because he wanted to save people."
"In this case, Wan Cen is just a small figure who can do nothing and change nothing."
"Are you the devil in your phone?"
'Wan Cen' seemed not to have heard what Shen Yunzhe said at all. He just got off the bed and walked step by step to the broken phone. He held the phone in his arms as if it were some object of faith, and his mouth, which was sewn shut with needles, opened slightly.
Shen Yunzhe struggled to make out the general words coming from his sewn-up mouth.
"I just wanted to save people, but I didn't expect that I would be the last sacrifice. It would come after I died."
"A shadow emerged and engulfed everyone, and no one could escape."
"Even if I die, I'll be trapped here forever..."
It seemed to say something, but also seemed to say nothing.
[Qingcheng Jianbai Central Hospital's mission completed, the hospital gates now open.]
[Game upgrade storyline opens: Battle Royale. ]
[Players are requested to escape from the hospital within ten minutes! ]
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Wan Cen.
Black blood slowly flowed out of the broken cell phone, or rather, it was a black sticky liquid. Wan Cen was infected by the liquid, and he melted along with the liquid, turning into a completely shapeless gel-like substance. The liquid suddenly exploded, and Shen Yunzhe quickly opened the door of the ward and ran out.
Countless shadows stood at the door of the ward looking at him.
Black sticky substance came out from the ward door, the lights in the hospital building went out one by one, and darkness mixed with the sticky substance rushed towards us.
On the other side, Le Jia, who was dragging Qin Chao, also heard the announcement. They were outside the inpatient building at this time. With a creak, they saw that the hospital gate was really opened.
"Successful? Why?!" Qin Chao staggered two steps and then fell to the ground.
"We don't have time to do anything, and we have no idea what the truth behind the hospital's relocation is."
Le Jia looked at the lights in the hospital building that were constantly going out, and she said, "It's Shen Yunzhe."
"Shen Yunzhe? Isn't he dead?!"
"Who else could it be?! It's not the two of us. Yang Siwei died in front of us, and only Shen Yunzhe was not killed by us." Le Jia's eyes were bloodshot. "He must have found the truth by himself. Where is he now?"
Qin Chao coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood, "Ah? Where is he?"
"I have no idea!"
"He's still in the building, maybe surrounded by shadows." Qin Chao covered the bloody hole in his chest. "But we can't even protect ourselves right now, there's no way we can save him."
Le Jia's eyes were red. "I'll take you out first, and then I'll go find him."
"Lejia?"
"He saved Yang Siwei. I can't let him die like this!" Le Jia said, "I never thought someone would save someone in such a situation."
Most of the players in the game were drawn in by Pinxixi Live, which made them more defensive towards this world and their fellow human beings. Le Jia was also tricked in by her boyfriend with the promise of "seeing something good". When she looked at Yang Siwei, it was as if she saw herself.
She no longer trusts people, let alone human nature.
But last night, Shen Yunzhe resolutely helped Yang Siwei lead the shadow away, even though he knew he would die.
Good guys should be pointed at guns?
No, good people should live long!
