Chapter 350 Back to Reality (1) - Waking Up in the Hospital
Although the success rate is higher if you go into the dungeon with Si Zhong, it would be troublesome if they left the game together.
First of all, Ning Shu probably wouldn't be able to get rid of Si Zhong so easily in reality.
And if Si Zhong wanted to, he might be able to return to the game.
He might go back to the game himself, and he might even bring her back with him.
Secondly, if only he managed to leave, given Si Zhong's intelligence and shrewdness, he would easily guess the trickery involved.
This will likely block Mengjie and the others from leaving the game.
She can't be so selfish as to gamble with the opportunity for others to leave the game.
Therefore, she needed to take advantage of the time difference before Si Zhong returned to the safe zone and use the Reverse Travel Card to enter the "Winter Land" instance.
According to the game rules, you cannot enter the next instance with others until you have actually left the previous instance and returned to the safe zone, even if you have bound items.
—Because players cannot enter two instances at the same time.
When Ning Shu used the Reverse Travel Card to enter the dungeon, she deliberately looked around to see if Si Zhong had followed her in. She was relieved when she found that he didn't seem to have.
She asked herself honestly, Si Zhong had indeed treated her well these past few days, but that shouldn't be a reason for her not to leave the game.
After all, outside of the game, she has family, friends, and a normal life.
For other players, the game may be a survival game where they can die, and for them, dying in the game may be a relief.
But for Ning Shu, it was real torture, because—she possessed the memories.
For her, having the memory of dying and being resurrected countless times was no different from being in the deepest hell.
Not only could Si Zhong not be a reason for her to stay, but even Cheng Chuan couldn't be.
Having entered the special instance, she learned from her previous mistakes.
Ning Shu put all the things she had prepared to break the deadlock to good use.
The original plan was to have the assistance of Li Mengqi and others.
Now she is all alone, with other players she doesn't know. The process is arduous, but she eventually succeeded.
This time, the passage was different from the previous ones. Ning Shu did not hear the system's passage notification. Instead, he began to feel dizzy in the halo.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious when suddenly memories of the game flashed before her eyes.
Memories begin to be clear and detailed, gradually become blurry, and eventually turn into fragments.
Suddenly, a bright light struck, and she fell into a deep sleep...
Ning Shu had a long dream.
In her dream, she saw her parents and friends whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
She knew it was them, but she found that she couldn't remember what they looked like.
The only way to determine the other person's identity was by their blurry figure and words, as the scenes changed one after another.
What remains unchanged is that they always revolve around themselves, enacting the little things in their daily lives.
The scene shifts, and she sees various players she's met in the game, among whom Cheng Chuan and Li Mengqi are the most vibrant.
Unlike the blurry images of relatives and friends, their appearances were very clear, as if they were right in front of me.
Ning Shu was suddenly startled. Had she not left the game?
She was getting agitated when she suddenly heard a piercing alarm.
"The patient's condition is not right. Get Professor Su here immediately."
After a commotion, Ning Shu tried to open her eyes but couldn't.
She was terrified of this feeling, and her emotions became increasingly agitated, causing her body to become somewhat out of control.
Soon, she heard footsteps approaching, followed by a deep voice.
"What happened?"
"The patient's indicators are a bit off."
Ning Shu felt her eyelids being forced open. She saw a bright light and tried to squint, but her eyeballs couldn't help but dart around a couple of times.
"The patient is about to wake up. Stop the injection and let her wake up slowly."
After hearing what she said, Ning Shuli figured it out; she must be in the hospital.
One of the game rules is that players can't get sick. Since she's in the hospital, she must have left the game!
With this realization, Ning Shu relaxed and fell asleep again under the influence of the medication.
When I woke up again, what greeted my eyes was white, all white.
She turned her head and looked around. The interior layout suggested it was a hospital, and there was no one around her.
She tried to move her hands and feet, but found her body was stiff and not very controllable.
It seems that after she left the game, something happened to her, and she was found by a kind person who took her to the hospital.
Ning Shu realized that she wasn't hooked up to any IV drips or anything like that, which meant she should be able to move around freely, so she struggled to sit up.
After getting up, she tried to stand up but found that her hands and feet were somewhat uncoordinated.
She struggled to stand up, holding onto the bed, and the whole process looked somewhat comical.
My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had suffered some serious injury, causing a problem with her health?
"Is anyone there? Is anyone outside?" Ning Shu called out towards the door.
The door opened, and a nurse walked in. Her uniform was somewhat different from what she remembered.
Ning Shu still felt a little dizzy: "Where am I?"
Nurse: "The hospital."
Of course she knew it was a hospital; she was asking which hospital, okay?
Ning Shu: "Which hospital? Rongcheng or Shencheng?"
The nurse smiled: "It's Mary Hospital in Youcheng."
Ning Shu was taken aback. You Cheng? How could it be You Cheng?
That was the political center, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Rongcheng.
She was kidnapped and taken that far away?
Ning Shu: "Have you contacted my parents?"
The nurse shook her head: "I don't know."
"Then, who brought me here?"
"That was sent to you from above, I don't know anything about it."
"...Can I borrow your phone?"
The nurse looked bewildered: "A cell phone?"
Ning Shu was puzzled by the nurse's expression, and her heart sank. Had she not expressed herself clearly, or did the other party not want to give it to her?
Ning Shu explained: "A mobile phone that can make calls."
The nurse suddenly realized: "You're on a phone call, right? Here you go."
She touched a watch-like device on her wrist, and it instantly detached from her wrist, which she then handed over.
After Ning Shu took it and examined it, he realized it was a quantum computer.
She tried to enter her parents' phone number, but suddenly got stuck.
Because—she seems to have forgotten.
She should have known that number by heart, so why couldn't she remember it at the crucial moment?
She tried hard to recall, and remembered that there seemed to be the numbers 1, 3, and 7 in it, but she couldn't remember any of the other numbers!
This is absolutely unreasonable!
Seeing that she was holding her personal terminal but not moving, the nurse couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
But inwardly, I couldn't help but think: Why aren't you attacking yet? Are you having fun with my personal computer?
"I...I don't think I remember the number." Ning Shu's voice trembled, and her whole body felt cold.
Those memories she thought were indestructible were actually things she couldn't recall at all.
