Chapter 8
Shen Yunzhe didn't dare to go over, nor did he want to turn around and run away.
It wasn't that his legs were so weak from fear that he couldn't walk, but that he noticed the elevator behind the girl.
Every hospital's inpatient building has an elevator that goes directly to the operating room. This is not surprising, mainly because Qin Chao once said: the clue is in the elevator.
Jiang Shuqi calls himself "Doctor Liu". Does this mean that he has been recognized by the ghosts in the game as Liu Ruoyu?
To prove this, Shen Yunzhe began to recall the medical records he had read, and then said, "Don't play too much, you're going to the operating room soon."
According to the game settings and the description in the file, Jiang Shuqi's surgery was performed on the day the hospital was evacuated. Shen Yunzhe did not know the results of the surgery, and even the file was left in the department. Now it seems that the little girl did not have time to enter the operating room.
The hospital was evacuated in a hurry. Surgeries were scheduled in the morning, but all staff had to be evacuated in the afternoon.
"That's why I've been waiting here for Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu, why are you here just now?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Shen Yunzhe with a confused look on her face.
When she tilted her head, blood, which was red to black, flowed out from the wound on her forehead and landed on her hospital gown.
"I'm sorry I'm late." Shen Yunzhe said, "I need to transfer your file to the ophthalmology department first, so that a nurse can take you to the operating room."
As he said this he began to back away, trying to move to the doctor's office next door.
"But, Doctor Liu, you've already signed." Jiang Shuqi stared at Shen Yunzhe intently, "Doctor Liu, where are you going?"
Shen Yunzhe paused and said, "I'll help you find a doctor who can perform the surgery."
"No more, all gone."
Shen Yunzhe noticed something was wrong.
The little girl walked out of the elevator, and Shen Yunzhe finally saw her complete appearance. She looked surprisingly well, with no other terrible scars except for her arms with exposed bones and a wound on her forehead. However, her eyes were filled with resentment that was not right for her age.
"The elevator fell down and we were all trapped inside. It was so painful and dark. We kept shouting for help."
"But no one came to rescue us."
"Doctor Liu, I called you and cried for you to come. Why didn't you come..."
Gradually, new tones began to mix into the little girl's tender voice. There were both male and female tones, and several tones mixed together, as if they were integrated into the little girl's soul and were denouncing him together, telling him about the pain and despair before her death.
"You didn't come..." The little girl stared at him, her voice blending into a strange and terrifying tone, "Why didn't you come!"
With a ding-dong sound, Shen Yunzhe felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.
It seemed as if it knew that Shen Yunzhe would never take out his phone, so the phone dutifully announced the new rules in a mechanical voice.
【Rule ④: Elevator use is prohibited during daytime.】
"I didn't even use the elevator!" Shen Yunzhe shouted, "I didn't even go into the elevator!"
The phone slowly added the next sentence.
[Except for Doctor Liu Ruoyu. Note: As the game difficulty increases, the game will add appropriate plot points.]
Shen Yunzhe understood.
In other words: the person the little girl called at the beginning was not necessarily Liu Ruoyu, but because the difficulty of the game increased, and he happened to have used Liu Ruoyu's identity and happened to walk here, the game directly changed the plot and it became: the little girl called Liu Ruoyu, but Liu Ruoyu did not come to save her.
He feels so wronged!
Shen Yunzhe turned around and ran, but before he took two steps, a ball rolled to his feet.
"Doctor Liu, do you want to play hide-and-seek?" The little girl's voice rang in his ears.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head and looked around. What he saw was no longer the same as before. Instead, it was layers of iron walls. The smooth metal reflected Shen Yunzhe's current appearance. He saw the ball rolling under his feet, and also saw the little girl's appearance reflected on the walls around him.
Elevator? An elevator without buttons?!
"I'll be a ghost and come to find you now." The little girl's laughter echoed in the elevator.
Shen Yunzhe pounded the elevator door hard twice. There was a loud bang and Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. The next moment, the elevator lights went out and the feeling of weightlessness came over him. Shen Yunzhe squatted down and made a self-protection posture. He still remembered how to save himself in case of elevator accidents.
Although this wasn't an ordinary elevator accident, it's better to do something than nothing! Falling from the third floor to the basement is only five floors, so if you're lucky you won't die!
But things were not as Shen Yunzhe had imagined. The feeling of weightlessness passed quickly and the elevator door opened instantly. Shen Yunzhe looked outside the elevator in a daze. He saw the sign for the fifth floor. Was the elevator going up?
He didn't get out of the elevator because he didn't think the matter could end so easily.
At the moment when Shen Yunzhe was tensing up, a pale hand suddenly grabbed the elevator door from the side. Shen Yunzhe wanted to step back, but his back was the deepest part of the elevator. Fortunately, the hand did not seem to want to come in, it just lingered at the elevator door for a while.
The next moment, a black figure ran out of the elevator and jumped straight out of the window.
There was a bang, the sound of a human body falling to the ground.
The elevator door slowly closed. The moment it opened, Shen Yunzhe saw a black figure climbing up the window again and giving him a hideous smile.
Huddled in the corner of the elevator, Shen Yunzhe took out his mobile phone from his pocket and anxiously opened the live broadcast interface. He turned on the barrage, trying to find some clues from it. At this time, the audience were gloating, and the screen was full of their triumphant voices, but their disgust towards him was still rising, and the difficulty of the game was approaching 3 at a rapid speed.
Click, the elevator stopped again. Shen Yunzhe didn't turn around, but just stared at himself on the screen.
The elevator door slowly opened, and a black figure came down from the window and was crawling towards the elevator. Shen Yunzhe felt a chill filling the elevator, and his hair stood on end. He still did not turn his head to look outside, but just looked for any news that he had not noticed before through the live camera.
Seventh floor, this is the seventh floor.
Shen Yunzhe stared at the camera intently, and at this moment a shadow caught his attention. Something fell outside the window and hit the ground under the influence of gravity, making a hideous sound.
Another person fell from a building.
The black figure's hand finally reached into the elevator. The elevator closed with a click. Regardless of the black figure's hand reaching in, there was a "puff" sound, and the black hand was pinched off by the elevator door. Blood spurted out, and the hand fell in front of Shen Yunzhe. Shen Yunzhe looked at the severed hand with an ugly expression.
He felt like vomiting again.
The elevator continued to go up. Shen Yunzhe coughed, then he dodged the severed hand and walked to the elevator entrance, with a hint of determination in his beautiful eyes.
This hospital's inpatient building has a total of nine floors. The black figure has just arrived at the elevator door. The next time the elevator door opens, he will definitely come in directly. Fortunately, because it is an elevator that leads directly to the operating room, the space inside the elevator is very large, which means: he has only one chance.
That is to leave the elevator while the black figure rushes in.
Ding Dong, the elevator stopped.
The elevator door opened a crack, and a strong smell of blood hit him in the face. A black shadow squeezed into the elevator little by little. Shen Yunzhe covered his mouth and nose to avoid making any sound.
The shadow flowed into the elevator like a ball of sticky liquid as the elevator door opened. Shen Yunzhe suppressed the fear of facing this thing and waited for it to completely enter the elevator. The moment it was completely in, Shen Yunzhe let go of his body and ran out.
He felt the wind, which had a fresh smell different from the smell of blood, but Shen Yunzhe felt endless malice from this freshness.
It was so easy, it just came out like that? It was that simple?!
Shen Yunzhe forced himself to look back, and the next moment he saw a black figure crawling in the elevator and lying there quietly. The moment he looked at Shen Yunzhe, he showed a vicious smile, as if his original purpose was to make Shen Yunzhe leave.
It was at that moment that Shen Yunzhe felt the sense of weightlessness.
He thought of the person who fell from the building on the seventh floor. It was just like him now. What you think is a way out is actually a designed death.
There was nothing under his feet, and when he looked up he saw the blue sky. Shen Yunzhe seemed to be falling.
Ninth floor... falling from such a height would definitely lead to death.
"I found you." The little girl's voice came out from the black figure. She said, "It's your turn to be a ghost."
[Emergency! Replace synchronization capabilities immediately!]
[World A03842, Codename: Climber, Synchronous Start!]
At that moment, a lot of things popped up in Shen Yunzhe's mind.
You can save yourself, you can grab something, why don’t you tie a safety rope before doing dangerous sports?!
Where the hell does he have a rope to tie it up?
Although he thought so, Shen Yunzhe reacted quickly. At the moment of falling, he grabbed a protruding window sill without any hope. The railing of the window sill broke in half with a creak, and Shen Yunzhe's arm felt as painful as if it was torn off.
The railing broke completely and he continued to fall, but he had adjusted his body position to be closer to the wall, making it easier to grab other things.
Finally he grabbed a broken window, and even though the shards of glass pierced his palm, he didn't dare let go.
He was hanging outside the building, swaying, his face pale with pain, but at least he didn't fall down and become a corpse.
[Successful synchronization, Code Climber is good at self-rescue in extreme situations. ]
"It sounds nice to call you a climber, but you're actually an extreme sports enthusiast, right?"
Shen Yunzhe struggled to prop himself up and climbed onto the windowsill next to him. He breathed a sigh of relief only after making sure he would not fall any further. He exuded an air of despair.
After calming down, Shen Yunzhe noticed that his arm had been dislocated.
He pushed his dislocated arm upwards expressionlessly, and the excessive pain led to numbness and trembling of his limbs.
Climbing up the windowsill and rolling into the building, Shen Yunzhe lay on the dusty ground, coughed twice, and sat up, covering his arm. Shen Yunzhe looked for the floor and found that it was the fourth floor.
He fell from the ninth floor to the fourth floor, but his arm was only dislocated but not broken. He must be in such good health.
[How does it feel?] The system asked him.
Shen Yunzhe swallowed, then slowly exhaled, and relaxed completely.
"……Stimulate."
[Very good, Codename: Climber. Personality traits: The pursuit of excitement is the belief in life.]
"It was too exciting." Shen Yunzhe said, unable to tell whether he was upset or relieved, "I was just thrown down from the ninth floor by a ghost and almost turned into a pile of pulp."
Getting up from the ground, Shen Yunzhe decided to stay away from all elevators.
He took two steps and stopped, then spoke, "Why do I feel...something is not right?"
What's wrong?
"Since we've switched to a synchronous world, why haven't my subconscious judgments about hospitals and medical care disappeared?"
[Is this strange? You've misunderstood. Knowledge is a non-tangible thing that can be accumulated. Acquired knowledge certainly won't disappear from your mind overnight. However, your synchronization rate with Codename Doctor is only 20%, so you've only gained the basics.]
[When the synchronization reaches 100%, you will be able to fully master this medical ability.]
"Can it transform me from an ordinary person into a skilled doctor?" Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly. "Without paying a price?"
He doesn't believe it.
He never believes in good things that fall from the sky.
Unfortunately, there is no way to refuse now. He also needs this ability to help him survive.
I hope that there won't be a day when he needs to pay everything he has for this gift given without any reason.
