Chapter 4
Ning Xiao ran out of the children's hospital, panting. He turned on the live broadcast on his phone and looked at the screen. The barrage of comments would not stay for too long, but even so he could see the remaining hostility in the comments.
Yes, a good old player once told him not to trust the audience too much, because he had no idea who these audiences were or what they were thinking. It would be the stupidest thing to trust Garou completely.
"See?" Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief.
"What can I do!" Ning Xiao roared with a grim expression, "We can't offend the audience! Don't you see? Once the audience is dissatisfied, the game difficulty will increase, and the probability of encountering terrible situations will double! In this situation, how many accidents can ordinary people like us survive!"
"You caused the difficulty of my game to drop to 1.2!" Ning Xiao held up her phone and pointed at a value to show Shen Yunzhe, "It's all your fault!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at him with unexpectedly calm eyes. He listened to Ning Xiao's hysteria and roar filled with insecurity. He was already scared to the extreme and tried to comfort himself by taking his anger out on others. Shen Yunzhe glanced at his phone, which was still filled with violent remarks that made him feel depressed.
"There's a limit to self-deception." Shen Yunzhe said, "I'm going to the inpatient building now. Come with me and see for yourself."
After saying that, Shen Yunzhe ignored him and turned around to walk back. According to his habit of appearing out of thin air, he found a direction that was most likely the inpatient building and walked in. According to the general plot of horror novels, the operating room and the ward area are the places where problems are most likely to occur, and they are also the places with the most information.
The current situation can no longer be explained by normal means, and I can only try to complete the game tasks.
Ning Xiao stood there in a daze. He looked at Shen Yunzhe's back. Because he was wearing a white coat, he seemed to almost blend into this terrible hospital. He stared at Shen Yunzhe in confusion, then looked at his phone in confusion, completely not knowing what to do.
If they want to survive now, they should find the old players as soon as possible. Although the game progress of new and old players is parallel, the information will not be synchronized. The more information they get from the old players, the greater the probability of their survival. This is why he desperately begged the audience to give him the position of the old players at the beginning.
But now... the position is wrong, the audience has a great dislike for him, and the difficulty of the game is also increasing little by little.
What to do, what to do, what to do!
【Go and kill this player. 】
Suddenly, a barrage of comments caught Ning Xiao's attention, and Ning Xiao stared at the message that floated by.
It seemed that not only Ning Xiao, but other viewers also noticed this barrage, and in an instant countless similar barrages floated out.
[Yes, kill him. As long as you kill him, we will give you the correct address.]
"No, no!" Ning Xiao hurriedly shook his head, a hint of fear in his eyes. "Game rules: Players are not allowed to kill each other. This is against the rules!"
[You don't need to kill him at all, just make him lose his ability to move. ]
"Haven't you done this before? Just like last time."
"I didn't, I didn't..." Ning Xiao's face was pale. He seemed to have remembered something, his eyes full of fear and terror.
Yes, Ning Xiao did something like this in the last game. At the end of that game, there was only one place left to pass, and there was a terrifying evil spirit blocking the way. He just didn’t want to die!
The audience told him that he only needed to attack one person, because ghosts were very sensitive to the smell of blood. As long as someone was injured, the evil ghost would move over when it smelled the blood, and then he would have a chance to escape.
Yes, he did. He attacked the man from behind and fled for his life while the evil spirit was hunting him.
Ning Xiao believed: If it were anyone else, he would do the same!
[See that metal piece next to him? Just pick it up and hit him on the back of the head, and he'll fall down immediately.]
The barrage of comments continued to encourage him.
[There's no need to kill him, as long as he can't move. He has two ghosts following him, and either one of them can take care of him.]
[That's right, you just did us a favor. ]
[Go ahead, trust us, the veteran player is in the inpatient building, but there are five inpatient buildings, so it's not easy to find which one it is.]
Ning Xiao swallowed, looked away, and then reached out with trembling hands to pick up the rusty iron piece on the ground.
I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Ning Xiao thought to herself.
Being able to find the location of old players and reduce the difficulty of the current game, Ning Xiao could clearly feel the audience's disgust towards Shen Yunzhe. This newcomer had no intention of pleasing the monsters in the live broadcast, so these monsters were not satisfied.
As long as he targets Shen Yunzhe, whom the audience hates the most, he can reduce the difficulty of his game.
Who told you not to learn to please others? He comforted himself.
Ning Xiao walked quickly towards Shen Yunzhe, hiding the rusty iron sheet behind him. He almost ran over, as if to throw away all his conscience, holding the iron sheet high. He knew that if he went down this time, he would never be able to turn back, but he just wanted to survive!
Unfortunately, Shen Yunzhe is not a fool. He has never let down his guard against Ning Xiao. He does not trust Ning Xiao, and even less so the viewers of the live broadcast.
The iron piece hit nothing, Shen Yunzhe turned around and took two steps back, looking at the iron piece in Ning Xiao's hand, he immediately understood what he was going to do. Shen Yunzhe, who grew up under a socialist-friendly education, not only encountered inexplicable ghosts, but also had to face attacks from fellow humans.
Oh my god…
"Calm down, calm down!" Shen Yunzhe stepped back and kept his distance from him, staring at him intently. "Ning Xiao, don't believe what the audience says. They're deliberately misleading you!"
"What do you know? Newbie." Ning Xiao clutched the iron plate and yelled at Shen Yunzhe, "You have no right to say such things if you haven't experienced it. I've seen ghost hands emerge from the ground and pull players into the mud. I've seen people crammed into boxes, spread out like minced meat. I've also seen a dozen players only have one survive!"
"In such a dangerous playground, lowering the difficulty of the game is the right thing to do!"
Shen Yunzhe cursed in his heart. He knew that he had no way to convince this person now. Ning Xiao was still a normal person when he entered the game, but he was immediately dominated by fear when he knew that this was an upgraded version of the game field. He was not the Holy Father and had no intention of waking him up.
Could you please not target yourself?
Leave here immediately and never meet this dangerous guy again.
Shen Yunzhe tried to find a way to escape quickly, but as he looked around, his eyes widened slightly and he looked to the side with a little surprise in his eyes.
He seemed to see a black and gray shadow slowly approaching here through the broken glass next to him. It was moving very fast. It was five meters away just now, but now it was within two meters. Shen Yunzhe began to retreat with a grim expression.
Something's wrong, something's wrong now!
"So, die for me." Ning Xiao found nothing.
He thought Shen Yunzhe was afraid of him, so he held the iron sheet and approached Shen Yunzhe step by step.
Just as he was about to swing the iron sheet down with force, there was a "puff" sound, and his movement stopped in place. He opened his eyes slightly, and confusion filled his eyes.
A stick hit him hard on the head, and the clear sound of bone breaking echoed in Shen Yunzhe's mind. Red blood and white brain matter splattered on Shen Yunzhe's white coat, and perhaps other places, but Shen Yunzhe had no time to care.
The skull is one of the three hardest bones in the human body, but it was smashed to pieces by a stick. Ning Xiao was thrown out, his eyes still wide open in a daze, and there was no movement at all.
The dark grey shadow condensed little by little, and finally turned into a black, faceless humanoid figure. The humanoid figure was wearing professional attire that Shen Yunzhe could tell at a glance.
It's the hospital security!
"Don't make loud noises in the hospital." The black humanoid figure was holding a long stick. It stepped in front of Shen Yunzhe with the blood-stained stick.
At that moment, Shen Yunzhe's mind was blank, and he watched the stick fall inch by inch.
"I'm pediatrician Liu Ruoyu!"
Shen Yunzhe said this at a critical moment.
The stick stopped in front of Shen Yunzhe's face, blood dripped down, and the black humanoid figure stopped in place, as if it had stopped moving because of Shen Yunzhe's words.
Shen Yunzhe tried his best to control the trembling of his fingers. He reached into his pocket, calmly took out Liu Ruoyu's name tag and pinned it on his chest pocket.
"I'm Liu Ruoyu, the chief pediatrician. I'm going to the inpatient building for rounds now. That guy just suddenly started a medical disturbance. Thank you for stopping him."
The security guard moved, putting away his stick and facing Shen Yunzhe with his featureless face. "Which floor is Doctor Liu going to? There are no patients who need rounds today."
Because he was too close, Shen Yunzhe's hairs stood on end. He forced himself to look at the security guard's face, pinching himself hard with his hands behind his back.
The doctor's experience told him that the security guard in front of him was not faceless, he should not even be black, he was just burned, his face was burned into a ball, his body was burned into charcoal, and when you got close, you could smell a burnt smell.
"On the fourth floor of Building B, there's a little girl named Jiang Shuqi." Shen Yunzhe steadied his voice. "She needs to be transferred from the pediatric department to the ophthalmology department, and she needs to be prepared for emergency surgery immediately. As her attending physician, I have to go there immediately to complete the formalities."
The security guard was staring at him, although Shen Yunzhe couldn't see his eyes at all.
"Even doctors can't break the rules," the security guard said. "I hope Dr. Liu will remember this."
When the security guard disappeared, Shen Yunzhe was still standing there. A minute later, when he was sure that the security guard really did not appear again, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall next to him to calm himself down.
[Very useful, right? If you hadn't communicated with the parallel world to gain access to the hospital's abilities, you wouldn't have subconsciously looked through the remaining patient records, nor would you have known that a young patient needed emergency surgery.]
[Codename Doctor happens to have an exceptional memory; he can memorize all the information after reading it once.]
There was no answer and no reaction. After a few seconds, Shen Yunzhe stood up and walked to Ning Xiao's body. A few minutes was not enough for Ning Xiao's body to react. The confusion frozen in his eyes made him look like he was still alive.
But his broken neck and fist-sized wound on his head were hard to ignore. He was already dead, having been beaten to death by the charred security guard with a stick just now.
Shen Yunzhe looked at him, and after a moment he sighed and picked up the phone that Ning Xiao had thrown out of his pocket.
He didn't want to recall how the phone was thrown out of the pocket by its owner's abnormal inertia.
When Shen Yunzhe opened his phone, he saw cheers and disgust on the barrage. The two kinds of comments intertwined together to form an indescribable feeling of weirdness and disgust.
[Wow, I thought I'd see a double kill by the security guard.]
[I'm quite optimistic about this player. Even though he's a bit of a wimp, he can still survive.]
[I'm shocked, but it doesn't matter. This is the kind of plot that makes it interesting. If I died so easily, wouldn't it be boring?]
【It's an even number, so one more person has to die eventually.】
【Suddenly I find this guy more pleasing to the eye.】
[Hint: The disgust level has decreased, and the game difficulty for player Shen Yunzhe has changed to 1.]
Although it is difficult, now is not the time to pay attention to what the barrage says. Shen Yunzhe exited the live broadcast interface and clicked on the announcement. Sure enough, he saw that new rules had been added to the original announcement interface.
[Hidden Rule ② has been confirmed: Do not make loud noises.]
