Sure enough, just as he expected, luckily he had a trick up his sleeve.
Jing Ning took the phone and read it without saying anything, but Yan Shuang didn't urge him. She just stared at Jing Ning, waiting for him to think slowly and then point out a way that would make everyone feel at ease.
Unexpectedly, Jing Ning put Yan Shuang's phone in his pocket and said, "I'm not familiar with this. Let Lin Haichen take a look."
Yan Shuang: ...I wanted to say something to Cricket, but he didn't say anything, nor did he dare to say anything.
The three of them went to the lobby on the first floor and took some food with them. They saw that other people in the team had also arrived. After counting, it seemed that no one else was killed last night.
Only the players were left in the hospital, and everything seemed like a dream.
After what happened last night, the fearless newcomers also began to restrain themselves.
Breakfast was still dry bread. Yan Shuang distributed the food to everyone and ate two in one go.
Seeing that he had such a good appetite, Ye Jing'an was impressed and couldn't help but wonder if he had lost his sense of taste last night.
"What if this is my last meal?" Yan Shuang said, wiping the crumbs from the corner of his mouth. "It's better to die full than hungry."
Ye Jing'an felt that he was led astray by Jing Ning, and refused to communicate with him. He moved forward to join the sister group of Tian Yiyi and Xu Yaoyu.
Jing Ning sat in a corner, eating while watching the people in the hall without saying a word, his face expressionless as he pondered the clues. Only after finishing his last bite did he speak to Yan Shuang, who was sitting next to him.
"They probably wanted to kill you last night," Jing Ning said, "but you didn't trigger the death conditions, so the two people outside didn't come in."
Yan Shuang coughed dryly, "If I opened the door and ran out or didn't lock the door, I would be in trouble."
"No...that's not right!" Jing Ning thought about it and denied it decisively, "At least he won't die immediately."
"What do you mean?" Yan Shuang asked.
"Don't forget your identity." Jing Ning said.
"Patients," Yan Shuang said. "The most important thing about patients is... being sick! If the doctor finds out you're not sick, you'll be arrested, examined, and then treated. So last night, I just opened the door, and the nurse wasn't sure if I was a patient or not."
This explains Jing Ning's statement that he wouldn't die immediately, that treatment would take time. What happens after treatment? Does he become a real patient, waiting for the countdown to his death?
"So, I just need to avoid being discovered by the nurses or not let them in." Yan Shuang continued
"This might be a condition," Jing Ning said, "but it's definitely not a death condition. The ghosts in the game are not soft-hearted. Once the death condition is triggered, a door alone won't be enough to stop it."
"Let's talk about what happened last night." Everyone had almost finished eating. Lin Haichen looked at Jing Ning and said, "Who's going first? First floor?"
Jing Ning stopped talking to Yan Shuang, stood up and said to everyone, "After you went up last night, we checked the first floor again, but we still found nothing."
"Yes, the five of us checked until after nine o'clock. At that time, it was too late, so they told us not to move around." Ye Jing'an looked at Jing Ning and took over the conversation.
Jing Ning nodded and continued, "We rested here. At 11:59 pm, the lights in the hall came on. Not long after, several hospital staff members came out of the room."
"I didn't do anything to you, did I?" Yan Shuang asked.
"No." Tian Yiyi answered, pointing at the two newlyweds, "They were scared and cried, and the staff came to comfort them. They must have thought we were their family members and that someone in their family was in the hospital, so they were crying. It's just..." She paused.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for what to say next.
Tian Yiyi pursed her lips.
Ye Jingan scratched his head awkwardly. "Those staff members looked at me a little strangely, but they didn't do anything. I can watch if I want to. It won't hurt me."
Jing Ning: "The hospital gate was closed the entire time. Around one o'clock, I took advantage of the staff's inattention to open the elevator and try to go to other floors. The elevator button was locked and I couldn't press it. Then I went to the stairs." He spread his hands and said, "The fire door was also locked from the inside."
"Are you trapped on the first floor?" Lin Haichen said.
"That's the case for now." Jing Ning said.
Lin Haichen nodded and continued, "I was in the office on the fourth floor last night. Starting at twelve o'clock, the computer screen suddenly lit up and the patient's name popped up. Not long after, the outside automatically started calling and someone walked in."
"Seeing a ghost in the obstetrics and gynecology department?" Ye Jing'an imagined the scene and twitched his lips.
"I'm just a surgeon, how could I understand? I've been fooling around all night." Lin Haichen remained calm as usual, "So I don't have time to go out and see what's going on outside."
Xu Yaoyu stood aside, hugging her thin arms: "Who among you is as miserable as me? I spent the whole night in the operating room."
She recalled that last night her ears were filled with screams and the bed was covered in blood. She was only an 18-year-old college student and it was difficult for her to bear it for a while. She was almost discovered several times and in the end she could only bite the bullet and do her job like other nurses.
Yesterday, Su Xiaoyue and the other four were actively filming videos in the operating room, but today they were all listless. Su Xiaoyue has been scratching her arms since she came down. The other two boys must have been scared last night, and now they are staring around in horror.
Everyone looked at the four of them.
Su Xiaoyue stopped moving, her arm itching making her feel a little creepy. She said impatiently, "After I went up, I started to remove my makeup and went to sleep. I usually don't wake up easily after falling asleep. I seemed to hear a very soft sound in the middle of the night, and I thought I was dreaming."
She then said to Weiwei next to her, "Please accompany me to the bathroom later. I seem to be allergic to something."
Weiwei nodded absentmindedly until no one around her spoke. Then she seemed to suddenly wake up. "Last night... last night, I heard a door open, and then someone came in. I knew it couldn't be you guys." She looked at her three companions. "Xiaoyue goes to bed early, so she wouldn't come to my room so late at night. Even if she did, she would come just after I fell asleep. It's even more impossible for Paopao and Xiaozai to come."
"So I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. The man walked directly to my bed and stood there for a while. I wanted to open my eyes, but I didn't dare. After a long time, I felt an indescribable strange smell in the air, and then I knew nothing."
Bubble stood there like a mountain, his features squeezed into his round face. The soft flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly as he spoke. "I usually like to stay up late. Last night, I was editing a video and it was already midnight. Then my neck started to feel a little uncomfortable. I was about to twist it, but I saw someone lying on the bed next to me. I screamed out, and then two nurses rushed in and pinned me to the bed. I don't know anything after that."
