Chapter 149 Jishi Medical University 7
Yu Naixin blinked and chimed in, "Yes, I also heard that a corpse was buried under the banyan tree!"
Lin Yuting was startled by Yu Naixin's words, but still opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Really?!"
“I heard it from my senior,” Yu Naixin whispered into Lin Yuting’s ear, gradually lowering her voice until it was a secret only the two of them could hear, “My senior also said…”
Just then, Li Yuanyuan suddenly slid the chair she was sitting in backwards, the wooden legs scraping against the floor with a rather jarring sound.
Yu Naixin was interrupted before she could finish speaking, and Li Yuanyuan was also drawn to the sound, looking at Yu Naixin with some confusion.
Li Yuanyuan's face remained gloomy and indifferent. She sat up from the chair without saying a word, grabbed the chair with both hands and dragged it back to its original position, and then sat back down.
Even strangers could tell that Li Yuanyuan was throwing a tantrum.
As Li Yuanyuan's roommate for almost two months, Lin Yuting knew that Li Yuanyuan was angry.
But she really couldn't understand why Li Yuanyuan had suddenly become angry.
Lin Yuting turned to look at Yu Naixin, trying to get an answer from her other roommate.
At this moment, Yu Naixin's gaze also fell on Li Yuanyuan.
She seemed completely unsurprised that Li Yuanyuan would forcibly interrupt her; it was all within her expectations, or rather, she had deliberately lured Li Yuanyuan into doing so.
A girl with the sweetest and cutest appearance, possessing the most innocent and delicate peach blossom eyes, is actually the most cunning hunter. She is patiently waiting for her prey's move with a faint smile on her lips.
[Help! The Demon King's expression is so captivating!!! When will "Heartbeat 1000%" finally add a screenshot saving function, or at least a way to watch replays?!]
[I'm so envious of Li Yuanyuan! I wish I could be looked at like that by the little witch!]
[I was wondering why the long-time viewers in this live stream all have such a high level of fan engagement; this "Yao Ling" is indeed a very charismatic guest on the show.]
It's hard to imagine that this is a new guest who hasn't interacted with any of the other guests since she entered the venue. Her ability to gather information and solve puzzles is astonishing.
The rumors circulating among the NPCs at Jishi Medical University about the banyan tree spirit are somewhat unfounded. As one of the banyan tree spirit's most devout "believers," Li Yuanyuan would certainly be angered to hear someone misunderstand the spirit. "Yaoling's" swift and decisive move seized Li Yuanyuan's weakness.
“There are no corpses buried under the banyan tree.” Li Yuanyuan’s voice was muffled, but louder than before. “The sacred roots of the banyan tree contain supreme holy blood, not the blood of any corpse!”
Oh wow.
Yu Naixin blinked; the information she'd gleaned was more than she'd expected.
If we filter out Li Yuanyuan's obsessive emotions, which seem to be deeply entrenched in a cult, we can probably conclude that what's buried under the banyan tree is most likely not the remains of an ordinary NPC, but rather something else entirely, closely related to the banyan tree spirit youth himself.
Yu Naixin's plan was simply to confirm the authenticity of the "buried corpse in the banyan tree" story through Li Yuanyuan's reaction.
Since her NPC roommate had generously provided more information, Yu Naixin considerately refrained from further provoking her. After quickly packing her things and slinging her backpack over her shoulder, she pulled the still somewhat confused Lin Yuting out first, giving Li Yuanyuan some quiet space to herself.
Lin Yuting showed maximum acquiescence and disregard for the actions of the guests on the show and the related consequences. As long as Yu Naixin changed the subject, she would forget about Li Yuanyuan's matter.
Just as Lin Yuting complained, Jishi Medical University is indeed very good at saving money. At this moment, it is completely dark outside, and the streetlights on the campus are spaced quite far apart, and the brightness is also very worrying. Yu Naixin guesses that NPCs with some night blindness will have to use a flashlight to see the road clearly.
To get from the student dormitory to the laboratory building, you have to cross the stadium. There is a bridge over the river. When Yu Naixin and Lin Yuting arrived, they suddenly saw a group of white, ghost-like things slowly floating across the bridge.
Yu Naixin quickened her pace immediately.
What unexpected bonus? New terrifying rumors about the school?
As they got closer and could see more clearly, Yu Naixin realized that the "ghosts" were actually a group of students from the same school. They seemed to be on their way to a lab class, all wearing white lab coats, their legs obscured by the railings on both sides of the bridge. In the dim light, they really did look like ghosts floating in mid-air.
[This is hilarious! Another guest on the show tricked by a student NPC crossing the bridge at night, hahaha!]
To be honest, when I first saw them, I also thought they were supernatural beings, and I even wondered if they were related to the upcoming third guest character.
That's what creates a scary atmosphere!
Yu Naixin: "..."
The stadium area is already considered a relatively central area of Jishi Medical University. The streetlights here are so economical. When we get to the experimental building that Lin Yuting emphasized, will it return to its natural state with hardly any artificial light?
As it turns out, Yu Naixin's idea was absolutely correct.
After crossing the bridge and passing the stadium and administration building, the area around the huge laboratory building was so dark that it was only slightly darker than pitch black, with a faint moonlight and starlight.
Lin Yuting was obviously very experienced in this, but she still couldn't help but shrink her neck and hold Yu Naixin's hand tightly, as if she wanted to huddle together for warmth and get as close to Yu Naixin as possible.
Yu Naixin doesn't mind her roommate, who has provided so much guidance, getting close to her. However, the underlying logic of the "Heartbeat 1000%" NPC is not to interfere with the guests. Since she, a guest on the show, has come to the territory of the two guest participants, Lin Yuting will probably disappear temporarily due to force majeure, leaving the entire venue for her and the two male guests to perform.
Sure enough, after leading Yu Naixin to the entrance of the laboratory building, Lin Yuting said she needed to go to the restroom and parted ways with Yu Naixin.
Yu Naixin waved to her: "See you later."
The corridor of the laboratory building was pitch black. Yu Naixin stomped her foot, but the motion-activated lights did not respond. She then took out her phone from her pocket, turned on the flashlight function, and went upstairs.
Lin Yuting had told her that their class was on the second floor.
Yu Naixin walked at a leisurely pace, shining her flashlight around as she went. Unfortunately, the corridors and stairs were very ordinary, with no unexplained bloodstains or any special markings, not much different from the medical university in her hometown.
The first floor corridor contained a freezer room sealed off by a special iron door, while the second floor housed a more basic laboratory. Yu Naixin saw a rather familiar skeletal specimen through the only open door.
Medical students begin their study of anatomy and physiology with the skeletal system as a broad framework, and the same applies to their experiments.
The identity of the guest in this episode of "Jishi Medical University" fits the description of a freshman who has just entered university.
The laboratory lights were on, and several skeletal specimens on display had the dark yellow hue of normal bones. Around them, there were also specimens of different organs soaking in a protective solution.
A complete artificial full-body skeleton model was placed right at the entrance, and Yu Naixin tilted her head slightly to look at its skull face.
The model is half a head taller than her.
[Holy crap, the little witch's height! Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard!]
When viewed alone, "Yao Ling" actually has excellent proportions, and you wouldn't guess how short she is, but once there are other objects around her for reference...
[Did I see a hint of displeasure in the little witch's eyes? Hahahaha~]
The human skeleton's face always looked like it was grinning widely. Yu Naixin glanced at its hip bones to confirm it was male, and returned the smile to the skeleton: "Hi~"
"—How long are you going to hide, Professor?"
Yu Naixin's eyebrows curved like crescent moons, her expression innocent and harmless: "I'm the fragile human, and you're the dangerous, terrifying, and powerful monster. Don't make it seem like I'm bullying you."
To show her sincerity, Yu Naixin even took several steps back to distance herself from the skeleton guy, so as not to scare him any further.
[What is the female guest saying? Does she think this skeleton is Professor Frankenstein's monster?]
[Finally, we see her misjudge once. Otherwise, this "Yao Ling" would be far too intelligent, bordering on demonic. It's true that this is the Frankenstein's territory, but he's not just any displayed specimen. He walks in from outside in his complete form. As long as the show's guests didn't initially choose the Frankenstein as their ideal man, and they managed to survive the banyan tree spirit's attacks, that's how they all met him.]
[No! If the Great Demon King wanted to make things up, it wouldn't be like this. Her current demeanor indicates that she's telling the truth. At least that Frankenstein professor is indeed wary of her and hasn't dared to officially show himself!]
[Um, I understand your die-hard fans' admiration for the female guest, but don't blatantly lie... This is only her first meeting with the Frankenstein's monsters on the show, how could they possibly be afraid of her?]
[Pfft, maybe they think that this "Yao Ling," in the short time she spent choosing her favorite male guest in the waiting area, has already made the Frankenstein's monster professor, who has ruined countless title zone guests, quite wary of her as a newcomer to the title zone~]
The next second, a cold wind suddenly rose from the skeleton specimen. After a brief distortion of light and shadow, the skeleton specimen disappeared and was replaced by a Frankenstein's monster professor who was over 1.9 meters tall.
This time, the Stitched-together professor no longer had the exaggerated smile and self-righteous arrogance on his face. His expression was gloomy as he stared straight at Yu Naixin, his eyes filled with undisguised vigilance and apprehension.
"You..." The Frankenstein professor's voice was deep and husky, with a very resonant quality, "How on earth did you do that?!"
