Chapter 3
[Yes, you have awakened your ability, but it's not the ability in the game. To be more precise: you are the only one among all the players who has the ability.]
[This ability is called Parallel World. In other words, you can communicate with other parallel worlds.]
Countless choices will give rise to countless parallel worlds, and all possible worlds will give rise to different versions of you. Your ability is to synchronize your parallel selves. Of course, you can't cram everything in at once; human endurance is limited.
[Based on your current tolerance and adaptability, as well as the properties of the game field, we will assign the appropriate 'you' who can help you.]
[Current communication world: A03719, abbreviation: Doctor, syncing, sync rate: 20%.]
Pie in the sky? Shit luck?
Most people might have been ecstatic, but Shen Yunzhe was surprisingly not an ordinary person.
He avoided "luck" such as sweepstakes and lotteries. In Shen Yunzhe's not-so-long life, he always believed that everything in the world was equal, there was gain and loss, and to gain something was to lose something.
So he was not so happy about the arrival of this so-called parallel world ability.
After taking off his heavy coat and throwing it casually on the road, Shen Yunzhe went straight to the next floor. He took a quick look when he came in. This was a separate pediatric clinic building. Like the one next to it, this building was also quiet, with dust and scattered waste everywhere.
Perhaps the evacuation notice was issued too hastily and the evacuation was too hasty, so most of the things inside were not taken away.
Shen Yunzhe was still diligently broadcasting live on his discarded phone. Perhaps because of the gimmick of "the newcomer is about to die", the barrage of comments was much more than before.
[It's quite capable of running, but what's the point? As long as it's marked, it can be found no matter where it is.]
[That thing's body was cut in two, and with its organs missing, it assumed that wherever its blood flowed was where its organs were lost. It would do everything in its power to capture anyone who came into contact with its blood. The only way to escape the Hanged Man was to avoid being splashed with its blood in the first place.]
[Now two more people are going to be involved. It seems like there really won't be anyone left this time.]
[After being found again and again, he will collapse.]
[Wait? I feel like something's not right. Is he a little too calm?]
Shen Yunzhe took off his clothes as he walked. The smell of blood on his body was so strong that he couldn't stand it. Doctors generally like to be clean, this is a requirement, and it is too disgusting to have sticky blood on his body. He threw his clothes around as he walked, without any guilt about throwing garbage everywhere. When he entered the department, the bloody clothes on his body had been taken off by him.
Of course he couldn't take off his underwear. He was not stupid. He remembered that there was a live broadcast watching him all the time. After entering the department, he began to search through the drawers and cabinets. Finally, he found an unopened bottle of medical alcohol and some things that he didn't know whether they had expired or not.
Shen Yunzhe poured everything he found into a basin, tore his clothes and soaked the fabric.
What is he doing? Is he crazy?
[Something's wrong. Is he wiping the blood off himself?!]
[Huh? He wants to wash the blood off his body? He knows that the hanged ghost chases people through blood?]
[Logically, that's impossible. He threw his phone away a long time ago and can't see what we're saying.]
No one knows better than a doctor how to wash away accidental blood stains; after all, they've been dealing with blood since medical school.
While rummaging through the cabinets, Shen Yunzhe saw a white coat hanging in the cabinet. He threw the coat aside and then wiped the blood mixed with dirt off his face through the relatively intact glass of the cabinet.
Shen Yunzhe carefully cleaned off the blood stains on his face and body. After synchronizing with the 'doctor', he did not find that he had any additional memories of the parallel world, but he did have some additional medical knowledge out of thin air. That knowledge just came out when he looked at various places in the hospital and extended out accurately.
He also vaguely discovered that he had some more subconscious reactions that he didn't know whether they were good or bad, such as immediately judging the effects of the medicine when he saw it, being unable to tolerate hygiene, and subconsciously looking through the remaining patient files.
Through these, Shen Yunzhe determined that his parallel world self should be a good doctor.
He lowered his head to pour out the red mixture in the container, filled a new basin and prepared to wipe it again. He raised his head to look at the cabinet glass, the muscles on his face suddenly tensed, and his fingers froze in place and subconsciously tightened, because in the cabinet glass, Shen Yunzhe saw a white figure standing not far behind him.
It lowered its head with its back to Shen Yunzhe, its long black hair covering its body, and its hanging arms looked like they were broken. As if it realized that Shen Yunzhe was looking at it, it raised its head, but its neck could not bear the weight of its head, and its head twisted around in disorder.
Like a doctor, a doctor with a broken arm and neck.
Shen Yunzhe swallowed his saliva and slowly turned his head to look behind him. Although this was a dangerous action, just like in a horror movie, there was no one behind him.
He turned back slowly, and even though he had prepared himself mentally, Shen Yunzhe was still frightened to the point of having his hair stand on end.
A pale face was pressed against the cabinet glass. The woman opened her mouth wide, but there was no tongue in the empty mouth. She stared at Shen Yunzhe with her eyes open. Because her neck was broken, her head kept moving, falling backwards from time to time, and then she forced it back together.
Shen Yunzhe kept backing away until his way was blocked by the desk behind him.
“Clothes…” The woman opened and closed her mouth, and black blood flowed from her tongueless mouth, all smearing on the cabinet glass. It looked like the old and damaged cabinet was bleeding. “My clothes, give them back to me.”
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the white coat he had thrown beside him and asked, "This?"
"Give me back my clothes." The woman scratched the glass, her nails leaving white marks on it. "Mine, mine!"
Shen Yunzhe picked up the white coat and reached into his pocket, immediately pulling out a name badge that read: Chief Physician Liu Ruoyu.
Because it was right against the table, Shen Yunzhe could see the nameplate covered with a layer of dust on the table by turning his head. The name Liu Ruoyu was written on it by a middle-aged woman who looked very serious. Both her height and age did not match the woman in the cabinet.
"No, it's mine now." Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke in this terrifying situation, "Who told you to die?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Yunzhe's mind went blank for three seconds.
His expression gradually became confused, and he even tilted his head strangely, which actually made him look a little cute in this horrific scene.
The scene was dead silent. Shen Yunzhe heard the woman open her mouth and black blood gushed out. The cabinet could no longer hold back the blood, which flowed out from the bottom of the cabinet bit by bit. Shen Yunzhe turned around in pain and ran out of the clinic as fast as he could, closing the door tightly from the outside.
But what was going on? Why did he suddenly start to criticize that female ghost?
He has always been friendly to others and never says anything that makes people feel uncomfortable, even if the person in front of him is a female ghost.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." The system's voice echoed in his mind. "After communicating with a parallel world, you will be influenced to a certain extent by the other party's personality."
[Codename Doctor's personality: Although he is a doctor, he hates doctors.]
"Ah? He's sick? Why would he be a doctor if he hates doctors?" Shen Yunzhe couldn't hold back his voice. "You're even mocking a dead doctor. You must be crazy."
[To some extent, you have no right to blame others for being sick. Besides, that's you too, just you in a parallel world.]
"I don't hate doctors. I admire their selfless dedication from the bottom of my heart." Shen Yunzhe said to himself.
Looking at the white coat in his hand, Shen Yunzhe wondered what the chances were of being spared by the female ghost if he threw the coat back. It should be no more than 10%. Through the hanged ghost, Shen Yunzhe had already understood that the ghosts here were not good ghosts who took revenge. They attacked everyone indiscriminately.
Then why go back? And the clothes are definitely not hers.
Shen Yunzhe chose to wrap himself tightly in his white coat in this cold gaming world. "Hey, can you feel anything over there?"
"Are you referring to the Codename Doctors? Of course not. To be precise, you're the only one using their abilities right now."
[Of course, even if they do, they won't refuse to help you. After all, you are them and they are you. Helping yourself is only natural.]
[Don't say you feel guilty. That doesn't apply to you at all.]
"Tsk." Shen Yunzhe made a tsk sound.
What do you mean? He doesn't deserve to feel guilty?
Just as he was about to retort, there was a click from the side, the rusty and broken door was forced open, and a man walked out sneezing.
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Ning Xiao?"
"Cough, cough, cough." Ning Xiao saw Shen Yunzhe in the dust. He didn't know whether the cough was due to choking or embarrassment. He stared at Shen Yunzhe for a moment before speaking, "You, why did you change your clothes?"
Then he remembered that he had not asked Shen Yunzhe's name at all.
After all, he is just a newcomer, and in such an urgent situation, he doesn't want to be implicated at all.
"Hurry up and leave." Shen Yunzhe reminded him, "There's something behind me."
"What do you mean by 'something'?" Ning Xiao's face was grim. He didn't follow Shen Yunzhe, with suspicion on his face. "This is the address of the old players I finally got. They are in this building. I don't know how you got the address in advance, but I'm telling you, now is not the time for your petty revenge!"
Shen Yunzhe felt a little annoyed, "Do you really believe what those nonsense people said in the live broadcast?"
"What the hell?!" Ning Xiao's face turned pale in an instant. "Don't talk nonsense! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Don't you see? The audience's popularity will affect the difficulty of the game!"
"If they're unhappy watching it, it will make it much harder for players to clear the game!"
Suddenly stopping, Shen Yunzhe turned around and faced Ning Xiao. He took a deep breath, then grabbed Ning Xiao's wrist and walked back. Ning Xiao was startled. He began to struggle, but he couldn't get out of Shen Yunzhe's hand. Even if he struggled hard in the opposite direction, he couldn't get free.
"What are you doing?!"
"I'll take you to see the old player you're looking for." Shen Yunzhe used force to push Ning Xiao out. Ning Xiao staggered and fell to the ground.
He felt a tingling sensation on his fingers, probably a scratch.
"Are you sick? You...!" Ning Xiao's voice stopped abruptly.
Because he smelled something bad.
The smell of blood was so strong it was nauseating. In the silence, the only sounds were his increasingly heavy breathing and the strange noises that were drawing nearer. It was as if the floor was soaked in water, and someone was walking barefoot through it, walking so slowly that the water stuck to their feet.
He slowly raised his head and saw the slowly crawling figure at the end of the corridor.
The twisted neck and arms were wriggling on the ground, and the long black hair was draped on the floor, leaving a trail of black blood. The woman raised her head, revealing a bloody face.
"Ah!!!" Ning Xiao screamed uncontrollably.
He jumped up from the floor in a panic and crawled out. Shen Yunzhe sighed softly after watching him run away frantically.
Okay, at least I didn’t go to die.
【Tsk.】
[It's a tough nut to crack, but there are so many people who don't believe in live streaming viewers, and few can survive.]
I think he's annoying. He even took other people's clothes.
[He's so brave that he even dares to take the ghost girl's coat.]
【dislike. 】
[Reminder: As the live broadcast room becomes more annoying, the difficulty of the game will increase.]
[Warning: Dislike levels are skyrocketing. Once again, please note that audience likability will influence the difficulty of the game, so please please your audience.]
【5, 4, 3, 2, 1……】
[Player Shen Yunzhe, the game difficulty has been increased to 1.5.]
