Chapter 6
Shen Yunzhe was sure that almost no one slept last night.
He didn't fall asleep either, not because of the hustle and bustle outside or the possible casualties, but because of a faint smell coming towards him.
After syncing with the 'Doctor', his sense of smell became very sensitive. Some smells that were normally difficult to notice would be magnified in his sense of smell. He smelled a very subtle fishy smell in the room, like a rusty iron block after rain, with a hint of iron smell.
The noise outside never stopped, occasionally accompanied by screams, sharp and ecstatic.
As soon as six o'clock in the morning arrived, the bustling sounds outside suddenly stopped, as if nothing had happened, and the room slowly became brighter, but the strange fishy smell did not disappear.
Qin Chao opened his eyes and looked around first. He breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that everyone was staying safely in their original positions. Although he had dyed his hair red and looked like a young man, he was secretly the person in charge of this group of people.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
"Everyone, wake up. The time has come. We must find the news today. It's already the fifth day. If we don't find it, we will all die."
Shen Yunzhe stood up and asked, "Time limit?"
"Oh, I haven't told you yet. The game field usually has a time limit for missions. You won't be allowed to stay in there forever. Seven days." Qin Chao replied: "If we can't complete the mission and leave here within seven days, then all the ghosts in here will turn their attention to us."
"No one can escape."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, covered his nose with his hand, and suddenly realized that his clothes were also stained with blood, but he was not bothered by the smell of blood on his body?
"What are you doing?" Le Jia noticed Shen Yunzhe's actions.
"It smells good." Shen Yunzhe replied.
Le Jia and Qin Chao looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes. The next second, their faces changed. They quickly turned around and called out to the people sitting next to them one by one. The fear they had suffered all night made them nervous. Almost everyone almost jumped up, except the one who was huddled in the corner.
"Hey, wake up, Zhang Wenli!"
Shen Yunzhe still remembered this person. It was rare for him to not make any movement last night. No matter whether Shen Yunzhe came or those people had a conflict with him, he seemed to be very tired and kept leaning in the corner with his eyes closed, so Shen Yunzhe didn't even see what he looked like.
Le Jia tried to reach out and pat Zhang Wenli on the shoulder, but he didn't move.
Swallowing secretly, Le Jia pushed him with her hand, and just this one push made a click sound.
Just like jelly falling to the ground, with a sticky sound, Zhang Wenli's entire body was cut into countless pieces and fell directly to the ground, blood splattered, and countless pieces of flesh were wetly stuck to the ground. He was cut into pieces silently in his sleep, and no one at the scene noticed it.
“Ah!!!” The screams could no longer be controlled and everyone’s faces turned pale.
After the blood exploded, the strange smell of blood in the room became stronger. Shen Yunzhe finally couldn't hold on any longer and covered his mouth and nose, frowning tightly.
He felt like vomiting.
This is a physiological reaction that is difficult to control, and it even surprised Shen Yunzhe. He was very sure that this physiological reaction was not coming from him, which meant that as a doctor in the parallel world, he hated the smell of blood very much.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head and retched, but the sound was not obvious amid the screams of horror from others.
He gripped the door handle so tightly that his fingertips turned white and painful.
Even if you're the same person, you'll still differ in some ways. One of Codename Doctor's characteristics: He absolutely hates the unnatural smell of blood.
[Don't ask why I'm only saying this now. I'm just the system. It's your job to familiarize yourself with and apply your abilities.]
Shen Yunzhe thought to himself: Fuck you.
If he dies one day, it will definitely be because of this thing.
"Is it you!" Before Shen Yunzhe could control his urge to vomit, a sharp male voice drowned out all other sounds.
Wang Liyang stared at Shen Yunzhe intently, "You're the only one who smelled it, and you didn't say anything after you smelled it!"
"This smell was there when I came here yesterday. How do I know someone died?" Shen Yunzhe looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.
"It's you, it must be you. Nothing happened before you came." Wang Liyang seemed very sure of his own words, or perhaps he simply didn't want to believe that something could really kill a person without them knowing. "You must be fake. You're not a new player at all!"
Le Jia and Qin Chao did not stop this farce. Le Jia even picked up his mobile phone and started watching it indifferently.
After a while, Le Jia finally spoke.
"Calm down, everyone." Le Jia came over with a cell phone. "Don't pick on him. He's a human being."
This sentence was said to Wang Liyang.
"Sister Le? Why?!" Wang Liyang was a little surprised. "How can you be sure?"
"Look for yourself." Le Jia handed the phone to Wang Liyang.
Wang Liyang picked up his phone in confusion, only to find that it was the live broadcast interface. Because the players gathered together, the audience also gathered together, and there were a lot of barrages.
The screen was filled with gloating remarks.
[It's him, kick him out! ]
[The scene of doubting teammates is so common that I'm a little tired of watching it.]
This kind of questioning process only occurs in newbies' games. The big guys all know the stakes involved, so this is too childish and boring.
I still want to see him kicked out. He was so lucky last time, I don't believe he'll be so lucky now.
"These spectators are targeting Shen Yunzhe, which just proves that Shen Yunzhe is not their companion." Qin Chao also spoke up, "We have an even number of players now. If you lose one more and it becomes an odd number, the consequences will be unbearable."
Wang Liyang's face changed.
No one really wants to take that risk.
"Have you ever considered the consequences if he's a player?" Le Jia was very unhappy. "Wang Liyang, I've warned you many times."
"I, I am doing this for everyone's good..." Wang Liyang's face looked grim, and he explained himself timidly.
"Okay, let's go out and look for clues. Wang Liyang, you stay here and deal with the body." Le Jia said, "The body can't be left in the safe house. And Shen Yunzhe, you don't look well. Aren't you a doctor? It's just a corpse. You need to get used to it as soon as possible."
Shen Yunzhe sighed, "I'm a doctor, but I save lives."
Wang Liyang hadn't expected to be left behind to deal with the body. He was a little terrified. "Is it going to be done by myself? I, I..."
"How many people do you want to keep to deal with the bodies? It's not like we haven't dealt with them before, so hurry up." Qin Chao's words decided whether he would stay or go.
Everyone left the room and Shen Yunzhe looked at the open door.
"Can we leave him alone?" Shen Yunzhe still asked.
He is still a good person after all.
"It's okay. Almost nothing happens here during the day." Qin Chao said, "At least nothing has happened in the past three days."
Seeing that no one cared, Shen Yunzhe looked back at the door for the last time and turned to leave.
Well, he is not a savior, and he doesn't want to care about those who are always targeting him.
Wang Liyang waited until everyone left before he was sure that he was really left alone. He looked around with a distorted expression, and finally looked at the pool of meat paste in the corner of the room.
"It's better not to die in the right place." Wang Liyang muttered softly.
This floor had been investigated before, and no one would be careless about matters related to life. He also remembered that there was a piece of iron in the corner of the hallway, which could be used to shovel out the meat paste. Thinking of this, he quickly glanced around and then picked up the piece of iron.
"hiss……"
Wang Liyang hissed, and when he let go of his hand, he saw that a sharp corner of the reddish, rusty iron sheet had cut his hand, and blood was flowing onto the iron sheet. He quickly let go of his hand, and after making sure that the wound was not serious, he dragged the iron sheet back to the room with his other hand.
"What bad luck!" Wang Liyang cursed as he walked. "Even a piece of broken iron is bullying me."
Pushing open the door, Wang Liyang threw the iron sheet in the middle of the minced meat. He lowered his head to clean it up. He piled the minced meat on the iron sheet. At this moment, he saw a piece of meat with a darker color.
No, it’s not that the color is dark, but rather... there is a shadow here, a black shadow standing on the minced meat.
Wang Liyang finally reacted. He fell back onto the ground and looked at the wall in front of him in horror.
There was a familiar shadow standing on the wall, as if the shadow was stuck to the wall. That was the posture Zhang Wenli was in when he died. At that time, he was squatting against the wall and dozing off. Yes, that was Zhang Wenli!
But, but he was already dead, and his body had turned into a pile of minced meat!
"Help, help..." Wang Liyang subconsciously called for help.
The shadow trembled as if it heard his voice.
Wang Liyang immediately covered his mouth, but it was too late. The shadow stood up and faced him. Wang Liyang saw it moving along the wall, getting smaller and smaller, as if an invisible person was approaching him.
Even a child in this situation knows he has to run. Wang Liyang turned around and tried to crawl out. His legs were so weak that he could hardly stand up, but he found that he couldn't crawl at all because his feet were being held.
A pair of cold hands grabbed his trouser legs and finally strangled him.
Suffocating, Wang Liyang scratched his neck hard, but there was nothing, nothing, he couldn't grab anything, as if the air was strangling him. In the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he looked at the wall next to him. On the white wall, Zhang Wenli's shadow was pinching his shadow hard.
…
At noon, the player came back after searching around but didn't find many clues.
"Let's go check out some other places this afternoon." Qin Chao sighed. He looked towards the safe house and then spoke, "Why is the door ajar? Wang Liyang?"
He tried to push the door open, but before he could do so, Shen Yunzhe's face turned pale and he took a step back. A strong smell of blood, even stronger than before, rushed into his nostrils, making him almost vomit. Qin Chao's hand froze. He looked at Shen Yunzhe's reaction and remembered what happened in the morning.
Le Jia obviously also felt something was wrong.
"Push it away." Le Jia said.
Qin Chao nodded, and he carefully pushed the door open with one hand. The next moment, the smell of blood that was hidden by the door hit him in the face.
The flesh paste that should have been cleaned up by Wang Liqun was still piled there, and he was lying on the ground, his face blue and purple, his expression distorted and terrified, with a circle of red pinch marks on his neck, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, and his eyeballs bulging as if they were about to fall out.
He died with his eyes open.
"Don't go in." Shen Yunzhe covered his mouth and nose and pulled Qin Chao.
"Look at the wall."
The people present were stunned for a moment. They subconsciously looked at the wall in the room and found something was wrong.
There were two black shadows on the snow-white wall, one huddled in the corner and the other standing in the center. They were motionless, like a prank painted by someone.
But the room was empty, with only two dead bodies.
