The power of words is greater than you can imagine.
The zombie stared at the phone receiver for three seconds and asked a soul-searching question: "If I can't give birth, will he beat me to death?"
Finally, he removed his hand from his stomach, shook his head, and answered himself: "No."
He came here to rescue people, so it would not be worthwhile to kill him again.
The "Bandaged Patient"'s expression was slightly interesting, but he was most concerned about the place where the zombie's hand had covered before. The seeds would not take root there.
Stupid yet shrewd is the best description of the zombie. At this time, the zombie actually saw through the true spirit's thoughts: "It moved a little bit after evolution."
As for why he moved here, he couldn't explain it clearly.
On the other side, after ending the call, Wen Shi looked at the weak man below and said seriously: "Come back tonight... Run wildly!"
Skill activation.
A figure returned the same way like a rocket.
Ji Yuanzhi in the steam box: "..."
Are you here to visit the prison? Leave after visiting.
Wen Shi changed the exit location to the prayer room, and at the same time found the president of the Seven Commandments in the [Kingdom] and gave the first order: check if there is anyone around the prayer room, and if so, help lead them away.
Whether the order would be fully carried out was uncertain. The students at Pearl Academy were easily controlled, and they would spread the private story of King Asa without hesitation. However, the will of the Seven Commandments leader was stronger, and the exact degree of implementation was unknown; it all depended on the difficulty.
Assuming there are players hiding in the prayer room and there is no danger to their lives, the President of the Seven Commandments will definitely execute it without hesitation. If the fat nurse is there, he may give it a try, but if Ao is nearby, the President of the Seven Commandments will probably turn around and leave.
Wen Shi bought some speed-boosting equipment and tried to get to the underground as quickly as possible.
The God of Fraud had a little misconception. Wen Shi was indeed very concerned about the claim that an important person had died, but he cared more about another sentence, which was also what he originally wanted to verify: I suggest you hurry up.
Zhen Ling did not lie, time is very important, but the other party's previous sentence was to remind himself to save Ji Yuanzhi, as if something would happen if he didn't save him in time.
As a result, an opportunity to borrow the road was wasted.
"All truths, and all lies?" Wen Shi's brain was working even faster while he was running frantically.
Ultimately, this round is still aimed at the zombies.
The people in the hospital don't know the relationship between the zombie and themselves. If their identities are discovered, it is impossible for the zombie to contact them specifically. It is obvious that the real spirit is behind it.
The speed was too fast under the sprint skill, and Wen Shi's eyes were dry and swollen. The zombies and the bandaged patients were together, so if there was any danger, they would both be in danger together.
The system previously reported that the mission of rescuing innocent people had been completed and the bandaged patient was obviously safe.
Innocent people, abused, miserable lives... Wen Shi suddenly thought of a possibility: "True Spirit Clone!"
Under this premise, every word the True Spirit said must be separated and examined. He hates the game, but the two sides are not in a hostile relationship as the True Spirit implied. The bandaged patient is controlled by the True Spirit and once helped the game issue the task of [Delete File No. 82].
Good guy, he is setting a series of traps for me.
The time of running frantically passed and the speed slowed down by half. Wen Shi did not stop, and while panting, he wondered why the true spirit targeted the wandering corpses.
Why zombies?
Apart from their terrible singing, lack of humanity, low loyalty and stupidity, the zombies don't have any other major problems.
Wen Shi recalled everything related to the zombies, opened the attribute panel, checked the data repeatedly, and his sight finally fell on [Your zombie has an unspeakable secret]. Suddenly, he seemed to be inspired by something.
"Words can be very misleading. Could it be that I've been misled?"
[00:05]
In the last five seconds, Wen Shi ran the last section of the distance in one go.
The road behind him vanished, and he appeared in the empty prayer room. Without a second thought, Wen Shi pulled the table over, turned the cross on the wall, and after the secret passage door opened, he rushed down at top speed.
He had been to the special treatment room once in the morning, and Wen Shi walked along the quiet and narrow path with ease.
There were small light bulbs overhead about every ten meters, providing much better lighting than on the upper floors. The door to the intensive care unit was locked, and even pressing the button wouldn't open it. The door even bent slightly outward, as if it were overstuffed.
Wen Shi took a few steps back, took out the Qingmu Sword, and activated [One Sword to Settle the Problem].
The unbreakable metal door, before this sword, was as fragile as a pancake. A sword mark appeared on the top third of the door, and another on the lower half, as if the head and lower body had been sliced through separately. Even though the target of the attack was the door, it still retained its traditional characteristic of being 'flat'.
[You have successfully used this skill more than four times]
[Xie Tangyan has obtained the "Mahayana Sword Technique"]
Wen Shi raised his eyebrows. This was good news. He could finally give something back to his family.
Without caring about his joy, a crack appeared in the door and a steady stream of black water gushed out. The smell and color immediately reminded Wen Shi of the liquid that the nurse poured when burning the corpse.
He squinted his eyes, wondering if he would be roasted to death by sparks.
After the door loosened violently, a large amount of liquid rushed down the heavy metal door. Wen Shi retreated to a safe distance early to avoid being smashed into a pulp.
Behind the door, the moment the zombie saw Wen Shi, his stiff eyes lit up and his loyalty increased by 0.2.
"Walk!"
Wen Shi glanced directly at the bandaged patient and shouted at the zombies to leave. In another minute, the electroshock therapy would begin, and they would all be left here.
"What's the rush?"
A gentle smile appeared between the brows of the "Bandaged Patient", and his eyes became the same as his original body. His true spirit beckoned his finger, and all the black water was absorbed into the black eyeball.
The ground was as smooth as before, and under the dazzling light of the incandescent lamp, the other almost pure white eye looked even more evil.
The lights suddenly went out.
All the live wires in the room disappeared, and the room was lit only by ghost lights. Even if it was time for electrotherapy, the torture instruments would not work.
"I'm really surprised you came." Zhen Ling leaned lazily on the iron bed, aiming at the belly of the wandering corpse and said, "Losing two important people is nonsense in itself, but I'm not lying, am I? If you don't come, there will be two dead bodies."
He winked at Wen.
Monsters related to Frank all like to use popular Internet terms from ten years ago.
Wen Shi stopped running, turned around, and suddenly took the initiative to walk in front of the real spirit, slowly uttering two words: "Liar."
Zhenling raised an eyebrow.
"You still want to mislead me now."
After saying this, Wen Shi made an unexpected move.
He moved to the side of the corpse, first placed his hand gently on the other's belly, which was very flat, and then squatted down and put his face against it.
The zombie lost control of his expression for the first time and was almost scared to death!
Because his body was too stiff, he forgot to push the other person away immediately.
"There is no fetal movement." Wen Shi closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"!" The zombie's loyalty dropped by 0.1. He wanted to reach out and push Wen Shi away, but too much of his strength had been sucked away before, so it seemed like he was playing hard to get.
Wen Shi remained indifferent and maintained this posture until he stood up after a few seconds.
The seeds of the mutant pomegranate flower, the change in the rooting position of the seeds, and the pregnancy physical examination report from the Mermaid Coast... everything seemed to suggest to him that the zombie was pregnant with a living creature.
However, any ghost child would have the urge to call out "Mom" when seeing him. If the wandering corpse was pregnant with a living creature, it should have developed consciousness after so much time and would not be so motionless like it is now.
"What do you think he is pregnant with?" He seemed to be asking the real spirit, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"You can leave the game if you collect all three keys." Wen Shi suddenly changed the subject. After standing up, he looked at Zhen Ling again. "I got one key at the sanatorium, and the other at the Sunset Red Plastic Surgery Hospital."
In summary, there are keys to all copies related to Frank Hospital.
"According to this logic, I should also be given a key when I clear the dungeon for the first time."
According to the clues obtained from the morgue in the previous copy, the key to the sanatorium came from the hands of the God of Death, and the key to the Sunset Red Plastic Surgery Hospital came from the hands of the God of Mirror. Each key was produced by a true spirit.
It is clear who provided the key to Frank Hospital.
Wen Shi stared at Zhen Ling. The smile in the latter's eyes disappeared, and he looked at him with a different look.
"Whoever made the key is responsible for handing it out. On the way here, I was wondering how someone with your personality would hand out the key."
The Death God, a name that suggests a star of misfortune, dislikes contact with the outside world, so it's natural for him to simply hand out keys as special rewards. The Mirror God uses mirrors to copy keys, which is quick and easy, so he generously gave one to everyone. And the deceptive True Spirit in front of him, given his style, would undoubtedly prefer to use a deceptive method to distribute keys.
The smile that disappeared from Zhen Ling's face shifted to Wen Shi's. He smiled and asked, "The wandering corpse is holding the key, right?"
No one knows what the mutant pomegranate flower seeds will produce when they mature, but through the written description, people subconsciously think of children.
Although it was a question, Wen Shi did not deliberately observe the reaction of the "bandage patient", proving that it was not a test at all. He had already reached this conclusion.
"If the zombie dies before the key matures and falls to the ground, I will lose this third key forever." Wen Shi frowned slightly, as if a little distressed. "If the key is gone, I can get another one in the next dungeon. But the one who issues the key is a true spirit, so you will never issue me a fourth key?"
"…Tsk, how cruel."
The expression between Zhen Ling's eyebrows was as tight as the bandages on his body.
It was like a magician whose tricks had been exposed. His eyes showed no sadness or joy, but were even more dangerous.
"You seem to be very good at deceiving, but it's not as much trouble as the Mirror Spirit caused me. I was tormented enough at the plastic surgery hospital." Wen Shi decisively dragged him down and said, "You are not as good as him."
It is easy to get into trouble if you offend the true spirit. In the live broadcast barrage of "Horror Club", a monster mentioned that the mirror god's real body was in Frank Hospital. Wen Shi tried to flatter it to win its favor, not to protect himself, but at least to prevent this deceptive true spirit from deliberately causing trouble.
It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. It won't cost you anything to say a few nice words.
When facing a place with reflective objects, Wen Shi showed a longing expression.
He looked up and repeated the words of support from the monster barrage that day: "Questioning the truth of transcendental philosophy, Mirror God, my eternal God!"
"…"
After praising him, Wen Shi ignored the real spirit and winked at the wandering corpse that was still staring at its belly: "Hurry up and leave."
Knowing he was in the wrong, the wandering corpse followed quietly behind.
"You're truly a traitor." Wen Shi sneered, "Did you deliberately move the pomegranate seeds to your stomach to mislead me?"
The zombie shook its head, indicating that it was an unconscious behavior.
That's the inertia trap. Wen Shi's mouth twitched. Pomegranate flower seeds are related to true spirits. What's the key point of the wandering corpse and the game?
Could it be that the zombies are the game's alter egos? In terms of their penchant for self-deception, the two maintain a high degree of unity, but the question is, do games have alter egos?
Out of sight, out of mind, Wen Shi summoned him back directly.
Before returning to the ground, Wen Shixian carefully stuck his head out, but did not see Ao, but instead saw the president of the Seven Commandments.
The president of the Seven Commandments also noticed him and hurried over. Due to the establishment of temporary faith, the hostility in the president's eyes decreased a little and turned into inquiry: "Why did you suddenly disappear from the treatment room before?"
At that time, he was blinded by the reflection of the cross. When he opened his eyes, there was no one beside him.
The president of the Seven Commandments tried hard to extract useful information from Wen Shi. If believers were ranked, he would definitely be the most troublesome one among them.
Wen Shi sighed, climbed up and dusted off his palms, muttering to himself: Be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, Ji Yuanzhi is still the most reliable.
"I was sucked into the space inside the cross and just found a way out." He explained vaguely and asked, "Have you been in the prayer room?"
"Well," the Seven Commandments Guild Leader replied vaguely, "I found a few players squatting there, and I tried to get them to go back first."
These people who were squatting there were actually arranged by him. He now had complicated feelings towards Wen Shi, as if he was serving a puppet emperor. On the one hand, he retained some respect from the common people for the rulers, and on the other hand, he felt that if he could do it, he could do it too.
They walked towards the staff dormitory together with ulterior motives, and Wen Shi wanted to bring the news that Ji Yuanzhi was still alive.
On the way, the president of the Seven Commandments mentioned a piece of news: "When the dean returned to his office, he was injured and became extremely irritable, mumbling about where he was."
Wen Shi pursed his lips upon hearing this. In this dimension, the only people who could injure Ao were the Earl and the patients from the Deep Region. One of his seven-day missions also mentioned finding something. He wondered if the two items were the same.
There are many players gathered in the staff dormitory. In addition to dealing with the nurses who check on the dormitories, due to their status restrictions, everyone seems not very enthusiastic about exploring the dungeon.
The small cubicle was not a place for conversation. As they walked to the door, Wen Shi briefly explained what had happened before concluding, "The spirits here will hand out keys in all sorts of bizarre ways. Be careful not to get tricked."
True spirits enjoy playing tricks on people, so the way they distribute keys must vary from person to person.
When he heard that Ji Yuanzhi was still alive, Yu Xingzhou's expression relaxed slightly under his mask. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you later. I'll go change my job first."
Li Nan took a step forward at almost the same time.
Wen Shi was curious: "Did you trigger the side quest?"
He looked at Song Yan, who also looked surprised. These three people had been together all the time. If something was triggered, Song Yan should have known about it.
Yu Xingzhou laughed, "Cross."
Wisdom cannot completely make up for the lack of experience. Wen Shi suddenly remembered the collections of true spirits in the cross space.
"The current dean played to his advantage and used his most important hand to exchange for the dean's position." Yu Xingzhou said: "So through the exchange, players can also complete the transformation of their identity cards."
There is only one director, but there are many nurses, and they don't need to pay as much as Ao.
The True Spirit couldn't have suddenly appeared just to see Pei Wenwei. The existence of the cross was both a trap designed by the game for the player and a help. The intern status was inconvenient, and they couldn't become patients. The only available positions in the hospital were full-time doctors, deans, nurses, and security guards.
"I won't go with you." Song Yan smiled shyly.
The true spirit in the cross had just been pulled and trampled upon, and as the incarnation of the mirror true spirit, he was easily taken out on.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless. Wen Shi hasn't stopped for the whole morning. His muscles are sore all over. He waved his hand and went back to the office to rest.
He had been hoping to get some sleep, but the constant noises from the ward reached his ears. Patients on the first floor were usually gagged only when they were receiving treatment, with nurses supervising the entire process, watching them scream in agony.
Treatments also have time limits, and two full hours had passed, yet the noise, far from subsiding, had intensified. Today's patients seemed particularly agitated. Wen Shi, helpless, got up and went to check on several wards. He discovered that the patients' eyes, once filled with despair and world-weariness, now had a hint of inexplicable excitement.
Wen Shi came to the nurse's station and asked, "What's the date today?"
"Number 11." The fat nurse, who was busy preparing medicine, answered him impatiently.
After dispensing the medicine, the fat nurse, holding the needle, dragged her bloated body towards the noisiest ward, complaining, "Are these patients crazy today?"
"The 11th..." Wen Shi calculated that the day when the main mission ended was exactly the 16th.
The sixteenth of every month is Friendship Day at Frank Hospital.
Thinking back to the excitement hidden in the eyes of those patients just now, Wen Shi had an ominous premonition that the fish and the knife on the chopping board were about to be exchanged.
At 11:30 in the evening, all the players, including Wen Shi, were called to gather in the prayer room.
Ao didn't show up tonight. Wen Shi heard a player talking to the Seven Commandments Guild President: "This afternoon, I saw the nurse running to the Dean's office several times with gauze and medicine. It seems the injury is serious."
The president of the Seven Commandments simply nodded casually, scanning the surroundings. The people who were looking for the same thing as him were black market players.
Yu Xingzhou and Li Nan were missing. It was unlikely that they would meet with an accident at the same time. Just as they were secretly speculating, a fat nurse entered the prayer room, followed by two tall and slender figures.
The new male nurse was wearing a light blue work suit. The fabric was very light and thin. His shoulders were slightly broader, making him look very calm and hardworking.
Except for Wen Shi and Song Yan who knew about it in advance, the other players were all shocked. They never expected that the game also provided a career change channel to nurse.
Without waiting for them to exchange information or offer a price, the plump nurse began assigning later tasks: "Tonight's shift will be a bit heavier, mainly responsible for the patients on the third and fourth floors."
As soon as these words were spoken, the players' bodies tensed up reflexively, and some even clenched their fists.
This is a cliff-like increase in difficulty.
The plump nurse seemed to realize that her request was a bit unreasonable, so she didn't make any harsh demands. "You can split into two groups. During the night shift, each group must capture one escaped patient."
She explained very carefully, "These two floors house severely mentally ill patients. Every night some escape, and they must be caught."
When she said the last sentence, the fat nurse tried her best to suppress the trembling in her voice.
Then she gave Yu Xingzhou and Li Nan a syringe respectively. Even if they changed jobs, they could not escape the night shift. The syringe was something that only the nurse role card could have.
Thinking of the difficulties they will face later, some players stared at the syringe with envy.
The plump nurse continued, "One group will be responsible for one floor. As long as you catch a patient who escapes, you can leave immediately. Choose to go to the third floor night shift on time after midnight. Those who are willing to go to the fourth floor have heavier responsibilities, so I will recommend you go to the patient area that is most suitable for patrolling."
Simply put, the patients on the fourth floor are more ferocious, and the NPC will directly reveal the problem and tell them where to wait.
Players on the third floor can only snipe blindly.
Ji Yuanzhi was in the fourth-floor fantasy zone. Wen Shi and the others had no choice, so Yu Xingzhou directly told the other players, "We'll form a group of four and go to the fourth floor."
The more people on night shift, the safer it is. Now they have a total of fifteen players, which is equivalent to Yu Xingzhou giving up some of his rights and demanding the qualification to be on duty on the fourth floor.
After a few whispered discussions, the players agreed.
If Yu Xingzhou hadn't asked for this, most people would have preferred to go to the fourth floor, which was more annoying than the unknown difficulties.
The plump nurse wrote down the list of personnel they had identified and began to make recommendations: "Team 4, I suggest you patrol area XX."
Wen Shi: "XX area?"
What kind of weird name is this?
"Area XX is the treatment area for sex addicts. They love to have erotic dreams and are rarely awake. Every time they wake up, the hospital moves them to the fourth floor."
When the nurse finished saying this, Yu Xingzhou, Li Nan and even Song Yan all looked at Wen Shi with complicated expressions.
"?" What are you all looking at him for?
Song Yan excitedly grabbed Wen Shi's arm and said, "It's a perfect match for our majors!"
Then I'll cut it all for them.
"…"
