The Silent and Eerie School (Part 7)
Successful completion of the task will reward you with 200 points; failure to complete the task will result in your elimination by the system.
Friendly reminder: Players are advised to ensure they possess independent thought.
"What's going on? This mission's score is twice as high as the first mission's score? Does that mean this mission is also more difficult than the first mission? Then why does this mission sound so simple, and there's no time limit..." Huang Chenchuan shuddered uncontrollably as he thought about it.
Li Su's gaze fell on the small print in the mission prompt, and she repeated softly, "Players, please ensure you possess independent consciousness..."
What does that mean? Does it mean they'll lose consciousness during the upcoming physical exam?
Before Li Su could figure it out, the female teacher on the podium urged her again: "Hurry up! Everyone line up at the classroom door!"
The female teacher seemed incredibly happy about what was about to happen, ignoring even the murmurs of discussion below, and wearing a stiff smile on her face.
Qi Zui leaned close to Li Su's ear and whispered, "Su Su, look at these non-player students, I feel like these students are all very strange."
As Li Su followed the players in front of her, she secretly observed the remaining students in the classroom.
They were all like copies, even their posture of bowing their heads and the length of their fingers holding the pen were exactly the same, as if...
Like a robot given some kind of command.
Qi Zui glanced at the remaining students and slowly said, "They seem to have no thoughts of their own."
Hearing Qi Zui's words, Huang Chenchuan got goosebumps all over and quickly rubbed his arms, saying, "I...I...we won't end up like them, will we...?"
Li Su didn't speak, but her thoughts kept expanding.
The reality might be worse than Huang Chenchuan imagined. If he wasn't mistaken, after the upcoming physical examination, they might end up like the rest of the students in the classroom—
Completely lose self-awareness.
But how can I avoid this physical examination?
The infirmary was surprisingly close to the classroom, just around the corner at the end of the corridor.
It's as if the infirmary is there to provide treatment to these students at any time. But would such a serious emergency really occur in the classroom that requires sending them to the infirmary? Or is the infirmary simply there to reform unruly students?
"The line will be divided into three groups and stand in line at the entrance," the female teacher said, cutting the line in the middle.
Soon the female teacher walked up to Li Su, her dark eyes darted around twice, then she grabbed Li Su's arm and pulled her to the far right: "Start with you, the rest of you line up at the door of the third waiting room."
The door to the first waiting room opened from the inside, and a male voice said, "Come in."
The boy standing at the door of the first waiting room was already crying from fright and hesitated to go in, but the female teacher pushed him hard from behind, and the door to the first waiting room was closed after the boy went in.
Immediately afterwards, the door to the second waiting room was opened from the inside, and just like the boy had experienced, the female teacher pushed the player standing in the first waiting room into the waiting room.
In that case, Li Su will be the first person to be examined in the third waiting room.
Suppressed sobbing could be faintly heard from within the group, coming not only from girls but also from boys.
Li Su's fingers trembled slightly, and she could only grip the hem of her school uniform tightly.
This task is very different from the first one. The task hints given this time are almost non-existent, just an empty sentence that doesn't even tell them what to do. At least the hints for the first task allowed them to recall the relevant details, but this task leaves them at a loss.
"I quit!"
A boy in the second group rushed out, the immense mental pressure having driven him to the brink of collapse: "What kind of bullshit horror game is this! I want to go home!"
"Did I even agree to this before they dragged me into this?! Damn it, who is it?!"
The boy ran straight towards the back of the group, getting further and further away from the group, when he seemed to be struck by something, collapsing to the ground, bright red blood flowing from his heart and meandering towards the group.
The boy convulsed, his eyes rolling back, his lips moving as he uttered his last few words: "Go...home..."
The female teacher glanced at the lifeless boy with obvious disgust, then turned to look at everyone still queuing at the infirmary entrance: "This is what happens when you break the rules. You'd better remember this."
The words were spoken lightly, as if what had just died was merely an insignificant little insect.
The female teacher stepped forward, scanning the new faces standing in the line. Her expression turned ferocious: "At Shengze Middle School, rules are the only thing you have to follow. Any so-called new ideas of rising up in rebellion are not allowed here!"
Security guards, who appeared out of nowhere, dragged the boy away like a sack of blood, leaving a long trail of blood until the boy's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Huang Chenchuan's legs went weak instantly, and he managed to grab Wang Fan's clothes in time to prevent himself from kneeling on the ground.
Those who rebel only face certain death.
The sobbing in the group grew louder, but this time no one dared to run away. Everyone stood in their original lines, waiting for the unknown to come.
The door to the third waiting room in front of Li Su opened, and there was no urging from inside. Li Su stepped out.
The door to the third waiting room was also closed. Huang Chenchuan's voice choked with emotion: "Brother Qi... Li, Su Su Su, he won't be alright, will he...?"
Qi Zui and Qi did not react at all, they just stood there stiffly, their eyelashes not even trembling, like two soulless robots.
Unfortunately, Huang Chenchuan was standing behind Qi Ye and didn't see their expressions, assuming they were too scared to speak.
Upon entering the medical room, Li Su found that it was no different from an ordinary medical room. Bottles and jars of medical supplies were placed on a simple table, and a simple hospital bed was placed at the back, with a man in a white coat sitting in front of the bed.
The man focused intently on pouring the medicine from the brown medicine bottle onto a clean gauze.
Without any instructions from the doctor, Li Su dared not make any rash moves and could only stand there, desperately trying to think of a solution.
The doctor finally finished tidying up the medicine in his hands, looked up at Li Su, and slightly moved his mask: "Sit on the bed."
Li Su carefully observed the male doctor's appearance. Although he was wearing a white mask that covered most of his face, compared to the stiffness and unnaturalness of the female teacher NPC, the male doctor in front of her was obviously very natural, and his movements and expressions were no different from those of the players.
Li Su swallowed hard, walked around the doctor, and sat on the hospital bed.
A warm hand grasped Li Su's ankle, and Li Su reflexively lifted her foot, leaving a footprint on the once clean cuff of her white coat.
The doctor lowered his eyes, his gaze, which held an ambiguous meaning, falling on the footprints on the cuff of his sleeve.
"I'm sorry..." Li Su slowed his breathing, afraid that the doctor in front of him would kill him immediately.
Upon hearing his voice, the doctor slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Li Su's eyelashes, which were trembling with fear.
Su Su is afraid of him? Why? He didn't do anything, he just touched Su Su's ankle.
The doctor bent down and grasped the leg that had just escaped his grasp once more.
Li Su only trembled slightly this time, trying her best to control herself from kicking the doctor in front of her.
Her well-defined fingers slid into the wide trouser leg, the fingertips brushing against her delicate skin, bringing a tingling sensation. Li Su bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying out.
What kind of inspection is this? Why is it being done?
Before Li Su could figure it out, the doctor had already pulled up her trouser leg at the ankle, exposing a section of her smooth, fair calf.
Li Su's trembling fingertips pressed down on the doctor's hand, which was about to move upwards, and her eyes were already reddening from the fear in her heart.
The doctor struggled to look away from that calf, and their eyes met.
"Let go." The doctor's voice was hoarse.
Li Su remained silent, and the two remained locked in a stalemate, with only the clock on the wall ticking away. Finally, Li Su gave in, removing her hands from the doctor's and gripping the bedsheet tightly at the edge of the hospital bed.
He dared not disobey the NPC's orders.
The wide school uniform trousers were rolled up to just above the knees before finally stopping.
The doctor's gaze, which had been fixed on the knees, turned somber.
Li Su felt as if the air had frozen, watching in horror as the doctor picked up the gauze from the table.
What should we do? Should we start using something to drug him?
Under Li Su's gaze, a gauze soaked in medicine was gently placed on the wound on his knee. It was cool and soothed the burning discomfort of the wound.
Li Su was stunned, as were the viewers watching the live stream.
"??? Can anyone tell me what's going to happen?"
"Wait, this doctor doesn't look right either. I've never seen him before, and he definitely doesn't look like an NPC."
"Hypnosis? That's it?"
"Wait a minute, Doctor? You weren't treating the last player like this..."
"I mean, could this doctor have developed a crush on my baby? I know my baby is very beautiful, but I can't allow it!!!"
The doctor raised his eyelids and said in a steady voice, "The other leg."
Li Su blinked twice as he watched him, trying to pull his leg back from the doctor's grasp. But the doctor took the opportunity to place his leg on his thigh, and before Li Su could react, he bent down and lifted the other leg onto his own thigh.
Li Su moved stiffly, but the doctor firmly pressed her ankle down with his hand. Without looking up, the doctor said, "Don't move."
The other pant leg was also rolled up above the knee, and another piece of gauze soaked in medicine was applied to the wound.
Li Su was even more confused. Was the second side quest really a physical examination? The literal meaning? Why was the doctor also thoughtfully treating his wound at the same time?
When did this game become so user-friendly?
After making sure that the wounds on both legs were firmly covered with gauze without any leakage, the doctor finally looked up.
Just like a doctor giving instructions to a patient after a routine medical consultation, the NPC male doctor in front of me also said, "Take care of your wound these next few days."
Unable to gauge the NPC's attitude, Li Su could only agree for now: "...Mm."
Li Su didn't dare to look at him. She tried to pull her leg back, but just as her hand reached for the rolled-up trouser leg, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.
“Look me in the eyes.”
The doctor's voice suddenly became ethereal, as if it came from a very, very far place into the brain, giving no chance to escape.
When Li Su realized something was wrong, her eyes were already meeting the doctor's gaze.
