After learning about Luo Jin's condition, the three people in the ward all looked solemn.
Zhou Xiaozhen said, "Didn't Haikuo Tiankong say it would take more than ten years? Luo Jin has been in the Fourth Hospital for less than ten years, right?"
"Haikuo Tiankong also said that it has something to do with the frequency of going to dungeons or the use of physical cards." Zhao Lan said in a low voice, "Luo Jin goes to dungeons too frequently, and he uses a lot of physical cards, at least not less than us."
"Then what should we do?" Zhou Xiaozhen, who has always been carefree, also began to get scared, "We have also used a lot of physical cards, what should we do?"
Yu Xiao clasped her hands together, lowered her head, and her hair fell on her cheeks. She said, "We haven't had any problems yet, so you don't have to worry too much. The ward is safe."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "But we have to go to dungeons to earn points."
"You can earn points even if you don't go to dungeons. I can sell talismans." Yu Xiao said.
Zhao Lan looked at Yu Xiao, with deep worry in her eyes, "But you have a position in the hospital, you have to go to St. Elizabeth's to stamp regularly, and you have to go to the dungeon to take assessments."
This is what Yu Xiao is most worried about. She can get points without leaving the ward, but what about work? Can she find a way to quit her job and stay in the ward forever?
She scratched her hair worriedly, raised her head and let out a long breath, "It's so hard to live."
It's so hard to live, this is the inner portrayal of the three people in the ward. Finally, there is a chance to live, but it seems that this road is blocked.
"Xiaoxiao, you want to quit your job, right?" Zhao Lan held her hand. "You can draw talismans, so you can earn enough points even if you don't go to the dungeon."
Yu Xiao didn't say anything. She was confused. She could earn points by drawing talismans, but what about others? There were so many patients in the six hospitals. How many of them could draw talismans?
Yu Xiao asked, "Those patients who can't draw talismans can't leave the hospital?"
Zhao Lan was stunned and thought, "It can't be said that there is no chance at all. Hai Kuang Tiankong also said that the erosion of Yin Qi takes time. Maybe as long as we accumulate enough points before the Yin Qi erodes the human body and causes serious and irreversible consequences, we can leave."
Even so, Luo Jin's speed of earning points is fast enough, right? Not only does he download dungeons quickly, but he also earns points by doing business. Even he ran into problems before he accumulated enough points.
"You still want to play the dungeon?" Lu Xun looked at his friend in shock, "Didn't you hear what Yu Xiao said just now?"
Luo Jin sat on a chair with a teacup in his hand, as calm and silent as ever. After a moment he said, "What else?"
Lu Xun: "What?"
"Just stay in the ward and use up the points you have accumulated bit by bit?" Luo Jin's slender fingers gently rubbed the wall of the cup, "You still have to play the dungeon then."
Lu Xun was stunned. Luo Jin said, "Why not continue playing the dungeon and earn enough points to leave here before I go completely crazy."
"Gulu..."
The familiar sound of a cart was heard outside the door, and the messy quilt in the dark ward moved. Haikuang Tiankong poked his head out from under the quilt. He smelled an extremely tempting aroma as the cart got closer and closer.
"Dongdongdong."
"Buy food? We have brain sandwiches today."
He clearly heard the sound of his own saliva swallowing, and before he knew it, he had reached the door. The aroma became stronger, and the things outside the door were extremely tempting to him.
"Get out." He said, "Get out quickly."
As the cart went farther and farther away, he could still hear the delivery man humming happily. When he first entered the hospital, he could not smell any smell inside the door, and the delivery man never hummed, but in recent years, the delivery man hummed more and more frequently.
He returned to the bed and tied himself tightly with the quilt. He was afraid that he would lose control and open the door and walk out of the ward. He had a feeling that once he walked out, he would never come back.
Yu Xiao and the other two discussed for a long time in the ward and decided that they still had time. Luo Jin's frequency of going to dungeons was no slower than theirs, and it was not until several years later that he began to show symptoms. So they still had time, and all they had to do was to collect the points the three of them needed as quickly as possible during this time.
The three of them gathered together and carefully calculated the accounts with pieces of paper. The last time Yu Xiao came out of the dungeon, she already had more than a thousand points. This time, she didn't have time to sell talismans in the dungeon, so she only sold ten. Together with the twenty-two points she got from the dungeon, she had a total of fifty-two points.
She sold some talismans and some function cards in the past few days. Function cards are expensive, 30 points each, and she sold five in total, so she now has a total of 1272 points.
Zhao Lan's points are 80, Zhou Xiaozhen's points are 88, and on average, each of them needs more than 1825 points to leave the dungeon. So they still need more than 4,000 points in total, and these points are not enough just by selling function cards, because among those function cards, the one-time prop function cards cannot be sold for 31, and the one-time bad luck cards cannot be sold.
So they still have to sell talismans.
After finishing the account, Yu Xiao suddenly found that function cards and the like are not safe, and only the use of talismans has no side effects. So she studied the post about drawing talismans in the Fourth Hospital again, and compared them with the talismans sold in the mall. Yu Xiao found that the talismans in the post were not complete. Not only were they incomplete, but there were even fewer.
After studying it, she understood a little bit. Although there were many types of talismans in the mall, many of them were not useful to patients, such as talismans for praying for rain and avoiding fire. The talismans in the post were all useful to patients, similar to the talisman for thunder and evil spirits, which were simple, direct and easy to use.
A person's energy is limited, and drawing talismans is for their own use or to sell. Unless one is particularly fond of drawing talismans, no one would use precious yellow paper and cinnabar to draw talismans that are not useful or can't be sold.
Yu Xiao also discovered this. She started drawing talismans before she entered the Sixth Hospital. But so far, she has only drawn three kinds of talismans: the thunder-strike-evil talisman, the healing-danger talisman, and the life-protecting talisman.
Because she really has enough of them. The thunder-strike-evil talisman is used for attacking, the healing-danger talisman is used for healing, and the life-protecting talisman is used for self-defense. Because of this, she has not tried to learn new talismans for a long time.
She read the post again, and there were no talismans with special functions. So Yu Xiao started to browse the talisman area of the mall again. She saw the talisman for removing fox charms, the talisman for promoting fertility...
She was extremely annoyed. What are these talismans used for? Are they used to deliver ghosts?
There are also some talismans whose names she has no idea what they are for. There is no introduction to the functions of these talismans, and you can't just draw them by looking at them. Different talismans have different drawing methods, and there are certain rules for where to start and where to end.
Yu Xiao used to draw talismans according to the tutorials in the posts, so her success rate was very high. If she were asked to study the drawing method of a talisman on her own, she wouldn't be able to guarantee the success rate.
It would be great if the master of talisman painting in the Fourth Academy was from their Sixth Academy, so Yu Xiao could ask him for advice.
Because she kept sighing, she attracted Zhao Lan's attention. When Zhao Lan learned about her troubles, he said, "Maybe Luo Jin and the others know him."
"Do you want Luo Jin to give me the master's phone number?" Yu Xiao asked.
"Is it not possible?" Zhao Lan said.
It seemed that it was indeed possible, and Yu Xiao immediately called Luo Jin.
"I don't know him." This was Luo Jin's answer.
Yu Xiao was a little confused, "How could that be? Your business is so extensive."
"We also wanted to find him, but we couldn't." Luo Jin said, "He never revealed his information in the forum, and no one had ever seen him in the dungeon. Later, we gave up."
It was really difficult, Yu Xiao was tangled.
Luo Jin did not ask her how she knew that there was such a person in the Fourth Academy, nor did he ask her what she wanted to do with this master of talisman painting. Before the end of the call, he said, "I'm going to the dungeon tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Yu Xiao said excitedly, "Why? Didn't I tell you that it's not good to go to the dungeon too often?"
Luo Jin was silent for a moment, and said, "But I need points."
So Yu Xiao was silent too.
Luo Jin on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed. Yu Xiao had played two dungeons with Luo Jin and had called him many times. He was not a cold person, but he rarely laughed. This time he laughed and said in a very complicated tone: "I already have a lot of points. If I save a little more, it will be enough for me to live to 70 years old."
Yu Xiao opened her mouth but said nothing. The two were silent for a while across the phone and ended the call.
When Yu Xiao was feeling depressed, Gluttony called her.
Yu Xiao was so bored that she really didn't have the mood to argue with Gluttony. She answered the phone and said weakly, "Hello, what's up?"
"My friend." Gluttony's voice sounded very energetic. "You seem to be very listless."
Yu Xiao rolled her eyes. "Nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Wait." Gluttony said, "Is that how you talk to your friends?"
Yu Xiao said nothing and was about to hang up. Just as she was about to hang up, Gluttony said, "I have a message for you. They won't ambush you in the next instance."
"Really?" Yu Xiao was really surprised. Could it be that those attending doctors suddenly had a change of heart and knew that she was innocent, so they planned to reconcile with her and stop persecuting her?
"Have they figured it out?"
"No." Gluttony said, "Because they learned that your next copy is very dangerous and you may not be able to come out alive, so they decided to wait for you in the next copy." "
...Ah?" Yu Xiao was a little confused.
Gluttony laughed twice and said, "In fact, they are timid. Even they dare not enter that copy easily."
So dangerous? Yu Xiao asked, "What kind of copy is it?"
"Hehe." Gluttony: "Goodbye, my friend~"
"Beep..."
Putting down the phone, Yu Xiao hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen, "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Bad news." Zhou Xiaozhen leaned on the bed decadently, "I like to suffer first and then enjoy."
"I want to hear the good news first." Zhao Lan was also listless, "Too much bad news today."
"Okay then." Yu Xiao said, "The good news is that the Avengers will not wait for us in the next copy."
"Is this good news?" Zhou Xiaozhen pursed her lips. "I was in a bad mood originally, so I just wanted to see them happy. What's the bad news?"
Yu smiled. "The bad news is that the next copy is very dangerous. Even the attending doctor is afraid, so he temporarily gave up ambush me."
Zhou Xiaozhen fell on the bed, kicking her legs back and forth. "Ahhhh~"
This is not a good news and a bad news at all. This is clearly huge bad news.
Zhao Lan raised his hand, scratched her hair which was no longer a crew cut, and asked: "Then do you still want to continue the dungeon?"
"We have to... do it." Yu Xiao sighed, "Xiaozhen's nickname change doesn't seem to have much effect. My talismans are still not selling well. They can only sell more in the dungeon."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "How about, let me go alone this time."
Zhou Xiaozhen jumped up from the bed on the spot. Before she could say anything, she heard Zhao Lan angrily say: "Do you know what you are talking about?! In your mind, are we the kind of people who will go when there is benefit, and stay away from danger and let you face it alone?"
Yu Xiao: "I didn't..."
"That's right, Sister Xiao, what did you say? Look how angry you made Sister Lan." Zhou Xiaozhen patted Zhao Lan on the back and said to Yu Xiao, "Why don't you apologize to Sister Lan?"
Zhao Lan glared at Yu Xiao, took out her phone, and directly applied for tomorrow's treatment.
Yu Xiao: "..."
Zhao Lan said coldly, "Don't you dare say such things again in the future."
Yu Xiao: "..."
Seeing Yu Xiao was stupid and silent, Zhou Xiaozhen walked over and poked Yu Xiao's shoulder, "Sister Xiao, why don't you say anything? Are you moved?"
"I..." Yu Xiao's expression twisted, "I said I would rest for a week, and you are like this... I have to go to the dungeon tomorrow?"
Zhao Lan: "..."
Zhao Lan blushed. It was a rare impulse, but he made a mistake. Zhou Xiaozhen almost died of laughter. Hearing Zhou Xiaozhen's hearty laughter, Yu Xiao and Zhao Lan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
The solemn atmosphere in the ward was swept away. Meng Yan waited for them to stop laughing before saying, "Take me with you."
Yu Xiao waved his hand and said, "I will definitely do it next time."
Because they had to go to the dungeon the next day, the three of them went to bed early that night. Before turning off the lights, Meng Yan carefully jumped onto Yu Xiao's bed and curled up at the end of the bed. Yu Xiao felt it, but didn't say anything. He turned over and fell asleep.
Luo Jin and Lu Xun also applied for the treatment for the next day. Lu Xun couldn't sleep that night. He hadn't had insomnia for a long time, but tonight he had something on his mind.
On the one hand, he was worried about the news brought by Yu Xiao during the day, and on the other hand, he was also afraid. He always acted with Luo Jin, and since Luo Jin had already started to have such a dream, did it mean that he would not be far away?
He tossed and turned in bed, and finally felt a little sleepy after a long time. He just lay in bed motionless, waiting to fall asleep.
Just after he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Tap!"
A drop of water dripped on his forehead, and Lu Xun woke up immediately. Is there a water leak in the ward? It shouldn't be.
He opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him made him terrified. A dark shadow stood silently at the head of his bed, and he didn't know how long it had been standing there.
"Ah!!"
Lu Xun screamed, quickly took out the talisman, turned on the phone light and saw that it was Luo Jin standing at the head of his bed.
"Old Luo?!" Lu Xun was shocked and angry, "What are you doing?"
Luo Jin, who was beside the bed, was dazzled by the light, and his eyes gradually became clear. He saw Lu Xun squatting on the bed like a monkey, looking at him in shock.
Raising his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, Luo Jin frowned.
Lu Xun saw that he seemed to be normal, and felt a little relieved and said: "Old Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Jin didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't even remember what dream he had just had. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to smell a special fragrance, especially fragrant, more fragrant than any food he had ever eaten.
Turning back to his bed silently, Lu Xun walked over in doubt, squatted down and looked at Luo Jin who was sitting on the bed.
"Old Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Jin looked at Lu Xun silently. This was his good friend and good brother. It could be said that they shared a life-and-death relationship. Since entering the Fourth Hospital, they have never been separated.
"I will go to the bathroom to sleep in the future." Luo Jin said.
"What?" Lu Xun was stunned.
"I will go to the bathroom to sleep." Luo Jin raised his hands and looked at his slender white hands with a blank look in his eyes. "I feel that my situation has become serious. I don't even know if this is the first time... Lu Xun, I am very dangerous to you when I fall asleep. I just thought you... are delicious."
Lu Xun's breathing stagnated, and then a sense of sadness rose in his heart. He had seen too many deaths in hospitals, but he still couldn't accept the fact that his good brother might die.
"Lock the bathroom door." Luo Jin said as he stood up and began to roll up his bedding. As he did so, he reminded him, "Don't sleep too soundly, be alert. Hang a bell on the bathroom door, so that as long as the door is moved, there will be a sound..."
As he spoke, he didn't get a response from Lu Xun for a long time. Luo Jin turned around and saw Lu Xun with his head down, the light of his mobile phone shining on his face from bottom to top, looking eerie and ridiculous. His shoulders twitched, and the clothes in front of him were already wet.
Veins popped up on Luo Jin's forehead. He continued to make the bed and said, "I'm not doing this just for you. We've been playing dungeons together. Even if your situation is better than mine, it won't be much better. Maybe one day you'll dream of me. We can sleep separately, which is better for everyone..."
Lu Xun stood up and said, "I'll sleep in the bathroom."
Luo Jin: "Don't be crazy."
Lu Xun didn't say anything, but suddenly snatched the quilt from Luo Jin's hand, rushed into the bathroom at a high speed, and slammed the door. Then he shouted from inside: "Old Luo, lock the door!"
Luo Jin was speechless, "If I lock the door, aren't you afraid that I'll open the door again after I fall asleep?"
"...Then I'll lock the door." Lu Xun said as he locked the door from inside.
Luo Jin: "You don't want a pillow?"
Lu Xun hesitated. He wanted to say no. But his habit was that he must have a pillow to sleep. Without a pillow, he might suffer from insomnia all night.
So he started to open the door again.
Luo Jin handed him a pillow while he hesitated, "What should I do if I want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?"
Lu Xun's mouth twitched and he said, "Drink less water in the future."
The next morning, Yu Xiao and the other two got up early to wash and change clothes.
Meng Yan was lying in the quilt, looking at Yu Xiao eagerly, "Take me with you."
Yu Xiao: "Next time for sure."
"This instance is so dangerous, we must be well prepared." Zhao Lan said while putting on his coat: "Xiao Xiao, let's bring more function cards. Bring more compassion cards to prevent accidents." "
Yeah." Yu Xiao nodded, and at the same time she was very confused, "What kind of instance would scare the attending physician?"
Zhou Xiaozhen stuffed spicy strips into her mouth, "One with a lot of ghosts?"
"Ordinary ghosts are no match for the attending physician." Zhao Lan thought otherwise. "Besides, ghosts and attending physicians are colleagues. Will colleagues fight? Unless they are brainless ghosts like the former dean."
Zhou Xiaozhen took a breath of cold air. "A copy of a brainless ghost? That's really a bit scary. By the way, if there is no brain, will the function card like the one-time compassion card still be useful?"
This is indeed a question. Yu Xiao was a little entangled. If the one-time compassion card is useless, then the Daguan Tongbao will not be useful either.
"It really doesn't work..." Yu Xiao said, "Don't we have several one-time ghost transformation cards? Maybe we can become ghosts and blend in?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "I almost forgot that I haven't used my one-time ghost transformation card yet."
During the discussion, the eight o'clock reminder sounded.
"Ding!"
The three of them felt dizzy for a while, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a long corridor.
This scene was inexplicably familiar, as if they had returned to the Wise Hospital. It was the same long corridor, and the same row of wards.
In addition to the three of them, there were three men and one woman.
The three men were together, and their clothes were the same. The girl had very short hair, an indifferent expression, and her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she had not woken up and was in a bad mood.
"Hello~" Zhou Xiaozhen was the first to greet, "The three of us are from the Sixth Hospital. My name is Zhou Xiaozhen. Her name is Zhao Lan, and her name is Yu Xiao."
The man with the longest hair and a beard among the three men said, "My name is Feng Jun, from the Third Hospital."
The man next to him with a slightly long bangs and red phoenix eyes said, "Peng Chen."
The last man with round eyes smiled and said, "My name is Lu Chao."
After that, they all looked at the only woman who didn't speak. The woman put her hands in her pockets and looked at Yu Xiao and the other two with a scrutinizing look. She spoke with a hoarse voice, "Third Hospital, Wei Ran."
Her eyes made Yu Xiao a little uncomfortable, but her attitude was fine, so Yu Xiao didn't say anything.
At this time, the door opened beside them. They turned around and a man in a white coat, with a straight posture, silver hair and picturesque eyebrows and eyes, walked out from behind the door.
"Good morning." The visitor stopped five steps away from them, "Welcome to Time Hospital, I am your attending physician, Shi Guang."
He turned sideways and pointed to the row of seven doors, saying, "Time Hospital can cure everything. Everyone who has been to Time Hospital will leave a permanent mark. Go find your own way out. Everyone is a special existence and will have his or her own path."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away at a leisurely pace. The door at the end of the corridor closed, leaving only seven patients staring at each other.
Zhou Xiaozhen hated reading and understanding. "What the hell was he talking about just now?"
Zhao Lan looked at the seven doors and thought, "Let us find our own way out, and everyone has his own way. Is it suggesting that we each choose a door?"
