Chapter 146 Jishi Medical University, with unwavering determination, performs the surgery with utmost swiftness...
Then, Yu Naixin saw that these gray mists, like some indescribable and powerful monsters, turned all the places where the Stitched Monster professor had separated from him into a bloody cloud of smoke in an instant.
The blood-red smoke was thin and faint, and it dissipated quickly.
The right acromion of the Frankenstein's monster, as well as the little finger and ring finger of his right hand, melted instantly, as if they had fallen into a highly corrosive liquid.
The small patch of gray mist around the Stitches monster turned a darker red.
Yu Naixin was blocked by his actions and had no choice but to take a half step back.
Behind Yu Naixin, the young banyan spirit's ten fingers transformed into brown branches, which continued to grow longer and thinner, quickly forming two intertwined banyan tendrils.
The banyan tree's tendrils extended out softly, wrapping around Yu Naixin's waist like tentacles. Although they couldn't touch Yu Naixin's body, they restricted her movements.
Yu Naixin: "..."
Looking down at the brown banyan tree tendrils that seemed to bind her like shackles, Yu Naixin raised an eyebrow.
It turns out that the young banyan tree spirit can transform in this way, just like the aerial roots hanging down from a banyan tree.
The Stitched-together professor's face was contorted with rage due to his injuries. As he looked at Yu Naixin, who was tightly bound, hatred and malice surged within him, and he could no longer maintain his previous facade of attentiveness and enthusiasm.
“Miss Yu…” The Frankenstein professor’s eyes turned a fiercely aggressive light, and the stitches on his face became even redder. “You should understand the principle of knowing when to stop, shouldn’t you?”
Yu Naixin met the eye of the eccentric professor without any hesitation, revealing a particularly sweet smile: "Rather than knowing when to stop, I understand better what it means to go all out and cut with all your might~"
Before she finished speaking, a fruit knife suddenly appeared in Yu Naixin's right hand, while she held a lighter in her left hand.
This fruit knife was bought by Yu Naixin during the "Cocoon Village" episode of the show. It has been sitting in her inventory ever since, and she hasn't used it except for the first simulation in "Swan Castle".
The lighter was purchased by Yu Naixin on-site from the system's regular shop for 15 Sweet Coins. The one used to light the bonfire on the altar in "Cocoon Village" had already been destroyed in the shattered and disappeared program instance.
While observing the banyan tree spirit youth reaching out towards her, Yu Naixin also opened her system screen and found that although the dungeon program had not officially started yet and the bullet screen interface could not be opened, all other functions were working normally.
So Yu Naixin didn't hold back. She stabbed the banyan tree tendrils in front of her with the fruit knife in her left hand, and lit a lighter in her right hand, aiming it at the transformed arms of the banyan tree spirit youth.
Yu Naixin wasn't sure which was more effective, physical attacks or fire attacks, so she decided to try them both.
The waiting area during the intermission has very strict restrictions on guest performers, but there are few restrictions on program guests.
Unable to use his spiritual power normally, the young banyan tree spirit instinctively tried to avoid being slashed or burned. The brown banyan tree tendrils surrounding Yu Naixin were no longer so tightly packed and showed signs of loosening briefly.
Taking advantage of that brief moment, Yu Naixin swiftly slipped through the gaps in the banyan tree tendrils and escaped.
Then, Yu Naixin, brushing against the body of the Stitched Monster Professor, rushed into the gray fog to her left, which was also the right side of the Stitched Monster Professor, without hesitation.
The Frankenstein Professor: "...??!!"
The damage the gray fog inflicted on the Frankenstein professor went far beyond the superficial dissolution of his limbs. This time, he was no longer able to stop Yu Naixin at a speed that exceeded human limits, as he had done before.
Moreover, Yu Naixin had experience dealing with the Frankenstein's monster this time. With many special artifacts that could be used normally and two system shops open, even if the Frankenstein's monster still tried to stop her, Yu Naixin had more than one way to make this annoying guest go somewhere cool and stay.
The Frankenstein professor could only stare in disbelief as Yu Naixin vanished from his sight with effortless grace.
The young banyan tree spirit's expression also became quite blank.
Both of the dungeon guests knew that there were only two paths to take after the gray fog. Besides the one they knew, they also knew roughly what direction the other path was.
But Yu Naixin, as if in a moment of panic, ran straight into a place outside of these two roads!
Yu Naixin's original choice of a random path was blocked by the Frankenstein's monster professor, and she ended up in a place that was a bit off from that path.
The petite figure was swallowed by the gray mist. The Frankenstein professor and the banyan tree spirit youth exchanged a rare glance, both seeing utter shock and bewilderment in each other's pupils.
Is this new guest on the show really in such a hurry to get themselves killed?!
Their new show ended before it even started?!
**********
Within the gray fog unseen by the Frankenstein professor and the banyan tree spirit youth, Yu Naixin had already summoned the priest's folding fan, flying on its surface and nimbly dodging the omnipresent spacetime vortex.
She single-handedly carved out a path to survival from countless dead ends, a path that no one could have imagined.
Before her eyes was a bizarre scene composed of countless chaotic spaces and times; in her ears were the roars of what sounded like an unknown behemoth within the vortex; strands of hair fluttered past where death hung by a thread. Yu Naixin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Wow—! Exciting! Fun!"
The girl's sweet voice laughed with a joyful and unrestrained tone, making the priest's folding fan at her feet almost cry.
Heaven knows how devastated and desperate Yu Naixin felt when she took it out of her inventory and saw this thick gray fog in front of her.
Yu Naixin has a cheat code given to her by "that person", which allows her to see clearly the scene in the gray fog, but the priest's folding fan can't see anything. For a moment, it even thought that its master had died and was calling it out to give his last words, or to drag it down with him to be buried with him.
No living thing can survive in the gray fog; this is a truth that has been repeatedly proven over the years by "Heartbeat 1000%".
Whether they are guests on the show, guests on the program, or "audience members," apart from "that great one" who created this gray fog, all living beings who enter the gray fog are essentially sentenced to death.
The gray fog used to restrict the guests in the dungeon show venue is not in its complete form. The dungeon guests can move freely and can also bring other guests through. However, in the chaotic space-time outside the dungeon show, the gray fog is a silent grim reaper and a silent executioner.
Fortunately, the priest's folding fan knew that although its master was a bit crazy, he was still quite reliable overall. It immediately began to carry out Yu Naixin's orders, moving around and shifting its weight under her command.
The priest's vision was practically nonexistent, like that of a blind person who could only rely on Yu Naixin's eyes.
Yu Naixin is its only trusted plant.
Despite the tense situation, Yu Naixin was still able to smile so happily, while the priest with the folding fan was practically on the verge of tears.
However, it had almost figured it out: its master seemed to have the ability to see within the gray fog.
This discovery greatly alarmed the priest with his fan.
In "Heartbeat 1000%", Gray Mist is the representative of "that person", and is more representative of His existence than the system.
As it turns out, "that person" actually granted this access to Yu Naixin?!
This is something that has never happened since the inception of "Heartbeat 1000%"!
This wasn't the first time the priest's folding fan had known that "that person" valued Yu Naixin, but this time it truly exceeded its understanding.
...Could it be that Miss Yu has some close family relationship with "that person"?!
**********
Finally, upon reaching the entrance to the "Saving Health Medical University" instance and being able to see the scenery normally, the priest felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a catastrophe, as he landed on the ground.
Yu Naixin used the same old method as before, immediately releasing the paper puppy as well, letting the paper puppy and the priest's folding fan hide in the shadows and follow her.
Yu Naixin had already put the fruit knife and lighter back into her inventory when she entered the gray fog. She looked around, observing the freshly baked environment around her.
The live stream started at that moment.
[!! The Great Demon King is streaming!]
[Oh my god, it feels like it's been ages since I've seen Little Witch's live stream! I'm so glad to see her again!]
[The "Big Boss" did indeed have a longer break this time, but the last dungeon run was too time-consuming and mentally exhausting for her, so a good rest is necessary.]
[She's only been in the lounge for a week at most, right? I'm already surprised she's started a new episode so quickly! No wonder she's the system-certified "Radiant Spirit."]
[It's reasonable to suspect that the Little Witch didn't continue resting simply because she ran out of Sweet Coins. Her last "Xiawei Temple" episode was terrifying; she used a full four substitute straw dolls, a whopping 4000 Sweet Coins! That's enough to buy a cultivation technique with few applicable attributes! And yet she still managed to pull out Sweet Coins to stay in the rest room for a week. The Little Witch has only participated in three episodes! Her money-making ability is unparalleled!]
The first to flood into Yu Naixin's live stream were her long-time viewers.
Yu Naixin glanced at the comments and found that no one was talking about the priest's folding fan or the paper dog. It seems that there was a slight time difference between the arrival of the program guests and the official start of the live broadcast.
Judging from the title of the segment, "Jishi Medical University," we can infer that the background of this segment is at least during the Republican era, though it is more likely to be set in modern times.
Indeed, Yu Naixin was standing on an asphalt road lined with trees on both sides, surrounded by fashionable college students, and in the distance stood a square, multi-story building.
The previous three episodes, whether Chinese or European style, were all set in ancient times. Seeing modern scenery for the first time in "Heartbeat 1000%" made Yu Naixin feel like she was in another world.
Although they were different from the universities I attended, the overall atmosphere of the two medical universities was very similar.
For a moment, Yu Naixin thought she had come home.
This could only be an illusion, of course. Yu Naixin paused for only a second before starting to explore the program's episode.
She forged her own way into the show's venue, neither near the Frankenstein Professor's territory nor the Banyan Tree Youth's territory, and the people around her were all NPCs.
The presence of a "banyan tree spirit youth" among the guests in the event implies that Jishi Medical University must have banyan trees planted there.
This suggests that the university is located in a tropical or subtropical region, as banyan trees require sufficiently high temperatures and humidity to grow, similar to the southern region of Yu Naixin's hometown.
In that case, judging the approximate season and month by the lush greenery around us is not very reliable, as Jishi Medical University is likely to be just as green all year round.
The college student NPCs were mostly dressed in summer clothes, with the occasional one wearing long sleeves. Yu Naixin was wearing a thin tracksuit with long pants and a long sleeve that she had bought from the system's regular shop, and it didn't look out of place at all.
Yu Naixin simply walked over to a friendly-looking female student nearby, put on her most gentle and harmless smile, and asked her about the situation: "Hello! I came from another campus and I'm not very familiar with this place. Can I ask you a question?"
Ahhhhh, no matter how many times I watch it, I'm still captivated by the Great Demon King's smile! It truly shines like the sun, brightening the entire world!
【"Yao Ling's" face is like a glass doll, exquisitely cute to the extreme. Her figure doesn't give off any sense of intimidation. Most people would easily like her at first glance, which is a great advantage when it comes to gathering information.】
No matter how tactfully you phrase it, I know you're saying the little witch is short, hahaha.
[The NPCs in "Heartbeat 1000%" behave and act almost indistinguishably from real people. Female college students are generally unguarded when faced with a cute and pretty younger woman, and the "big boss" is a master of acting and possesses exceptionally high emotional and intellectual intelligence, so he can definitely extract a lot of information from her.]
