After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 17: Blue Mountain Mental Hospital (XVII)

Qi Chanyang looked up at the sky in silence.

He said it!!!

He said such arrogant words!!!

Gu Shanshan, who was standing by, had a blank expression on her face when she heard this. She turned her gaze to Qi Chanyang, looking at him with a questioning expression.

Qi Chanyang didn't know how to explain it to her, so he could only nod vaguely.

Gu Shanshan let out an "ah" in confusion.

The fact that she could say things like "Count me in as one of the players who don't take medicine" shows that she was already mentally prepared to die.

After all, she had dealt with mutated patient NPCs before, and had faced Ge Juan with Qi Chanyang. Now she had a general understanding of the strength of this group of NPCs in this copy.

It is impossible for a normal human to defeat this group of dungeon NPCs. Even an experienced player like Qi Chanyang who has completed the game six times can only run away when he sees Ge Juan.

Those doctor NPCs are obviously quite capable.

As a result, now, more than an hour ago, she and Qi Chanyang were almost killed by the NPC, and in the blink of an eye, the doctor dared not move

Gu Shanshan couldn't help but ask: "Why don't they dare to do it?"

Faced with Gu Shanshan's doubts, Qi Chanyang didn't know what to say.

Tell her "The big brother in front of you is so powerful that NPCs run away when they see him"? This doesn't even sound like bragging, it sounds like the two of them are going crazy and hysterical because of the NPCs outside.

Qi Chanyang hadn't figured out how to explain it in a way that would sound more credible when Jie Fangcheng spoke up: "Because I scared them."

He really dares to say that!!!

Qi Chanyang glanced sideways.

Gu Shanshan, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but asked in shock: "How did you hit me?"

Jie Fangcheng waved the stick in his hand and made a few movements: "This is how you beat him."

"Can you beat him?"

"sure."

Gu Shanshan turned to look at Qi Chanyang, and from her expression she thought Jie Fangcheng had gone crazy.

Qi Chanyang looked up to the sky and sighed: "He is right."

Gu Shanshan: “…”

Very good, Gu Shanshan now thinks he is crazy too.

But Qi Chanyang could also understand it. After all, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qi Chanyang wouldn't believe it.

Moreover, this person has an inexplicable temperament that makes people feel that what he says is so righteous and natural, but also so like nonsense.

This matter is difficult to explain. Gu Shanshan probably wouldn't believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes.

After all, I didn’t believe it before.

Thinking of this, Qi Chanyang said: "It's okay, you will know tomorrow."

Gu Shanshan's expression was even more difficult to describe.

Qi Chanyang pretended not to see it: "Let's leave it at that for tonight. Generally, it is not recommended to go out to look for clues after 12 o'clock in the dungeon, because 12 o'clock is a dividing line. For players, the period from early morning to sunrise is the most dangerous time."

This is also an experience summarized by players. After a new day begins, the dungeon may have new rules, and generally, the strength of NPCs will increase during this period.

Players are human beings after all. Although their bodies will be strengthened after clearing the game, they are still more adapted to daytime activities, so experienced players will avoid this period of time known as the "NPC home court."

But this time, Qi Chanyang paused after he finished speaking, turned his head and asked Jie Fangcheng: "Is it okay?"

Jie Fangcheng was still very easy to talk to: "Okay."

Qi Chanyang: "You guys take a rest, I'll keep watch."

After that, he stood up and sat at the door with his weapon.

Gu Shanshan shook her head: "I'll keep watch. You guys have worked hard to find clues."

Qi Chanyang smiled: "It's okay, this is your first time in a dungeon, take a good rest."

It only took a few hours for these newcomers to be pulled into the game after their death in the real world.

Decades of normal life ended in an instant, all hard work became a bubble, family, lover, and friends were separated, and one became a horror game player. This psychological change also needs to be adjusted.

Gu Shanshan blinked quickly: "Thank you, Brother Qi. If you are tired, Brother Qi, please call me."

"good."

Jie Fangcheng was already lying peacefully on the bed. He asked caringly, "Why don't you take this stick first and give it to me when I wake up."

Qi Chanyang: "... I have weapons."

Jie Fangcheng took a look at the "Gift from Whale Fall" in his hand. It looked strange in shape and was only as long as two palms.

"Is your weapon useful?"

"good."

Jie Fangcheng waved his stick and said, "This one of mine is very useful!"

Qi Chanyang's eyes shone: "Really?"

Could it be that... this stick only looks ordinary on the surface, but is actually some rare prop

Boss, are you hinting at something

Jie Fangcheng nodded and kindly handed over the stick: "This one is longer."

"What?" Qi Chanyang didn't quite understand for a moment. After taking the stick, he paused.

This is clearly just an ordinary stick!!!

If it is an item with special functions produced by the system, such as "Gift from Whale Fall", a small prompt box will appear above the item when it is first obtained.

When Qi Chanyang held the stick in his hand, he only felt it was heavy.

Isn't this just six table legs twisted into an iron rod? ?

Jie Fangcheng explained to him: "Long weapons are safer, and you can lean against the door and change your posture when you get tired."

Qi Chanyang: “…”

He put the stick aside numbly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Call me if you make any noise."

After saying this, Jie Fangcheng finally closed his eyes.

The room was quiet.

Qi Chanyang leaned against the door and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, a faint sigh was heard from the room.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Jie Fangcheng turned his head and looked at him. "This is exactly when I have to go to work. It's hard for me to adjust my biological clock."

"Ah? Aren't you sleepy?" Qi Chanyang was puzzled. "I saw that you were almost asleep just now because you were leaning on the stick."

"I'm not sleepy. I'm always like this."

"… "

"Come on, come on." Jie Fangcheng got out of bed and pulled him up without saying anything. "Go to sleep. I'll catch up on some sleep tomorrow."

Qi Chanyang hesitated for a moment.

Dealing with NPCs at night consumed a lot of his energy and he was indeed a little tired.

Qi Chanyang said: "Then call me if you are sleepy."

"okay."

While lying on the bed, Qi Chanyang was a little curious: "What kind of work do you have? Do you need to start work now?"

Jie Fangcheng said honestly: "Let's settle the accounts."

“…” OK, the image of the manager of the finance department of the big boss’s underworld will never collapse.

Qi Chanyang closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

After both people in the room fell asleep, Xie Fangcheng opened the door and sat down facing the door.

He wiped the stick clean from his hand and stared at the open door with alertness.

The night is long, let's have some conversation with some NPCs! .

seven in the morning.

Qi Chanyang opened his eyes when the first bell rang in the hospital, and then he sat up suddenly in bed with his hair standing on end.

He didn't know when the door was opened. There were only him and Gu Shanshan who was still sleeping in the room. Even Patient No. 1 who was seriously injured last night was gone.

Jie Fangcheng, who said he would keep watch, was nowhere to be found, but his stick was still at the door.

He didn't even take his weapons? What was Jie Fangcheng doing

Did something happen yesterday? But Qi Chanyang was a light sleeper, so he would have woken up if there was any noise!

Qi Chanyang nervously held the "gift from the whale fall" in his hand and stuck his head out of the door.

"woke up?"

Qi Chanyang: “…”

Jie Fangcheng came in and picked up the stick again.

"Let's go, it's time for breakfast."

"… how do you know?"

"Number Nine said so."

Soon He Xin's voice came from far away in the corridor.

"Don't sleep! The cafeteria is open for dinner! No food for those who are late!!"

After Qi Chanyang got out of bed and looked out the door, he was stunned.

He Xin, who had a pair of eyes rolling around as if he was picking up goods yesterday, was now standing about ten meters away, staring at Jie Fangcheng.

Jie Fangcheng leaned against the door boredly, and seemed to find this action a bit tiring, so he stood up straight.

He Xin, who was ten meters away, immediately took a step back.

Qi Chanyang was shocked: "Oh my god!"

Jie Fangcheng was also shocked: "Damn! Is it that serious?"

Xie Fangcheng didn't hit him yesterday, mainly because He Xin ran away too early and couldn't be caught.

The bell rang again, and various sounds came from the wards one after another.

Soon, the NPC patient who had taken his medicine normally yesterday walked out of the room and walked down the corridor to the cafeteria as usual.

Next is number four.

The little girl who had turned into a horrible appearance yesterday has now returned to her original appearance, still with two ponytails, and looked like a doll as she passed by the two of them.

Qi Chanyang frowned.

"It looks like the patient is a repairable NPC."

"What?"

Qi Chanyang explained: "Some NPCs in dungeons will return to their original state even after death the next day. These are repairable NPCs."

"so smart?"

Qi Chanyang remembered: "By the way, where did NPC No. 1 go?"

"Oh, in Ward Nine."

"???"

"When he woke up in the morning, I asked him to comfort Number Nine."

Compared to the two patients who either died or fainted before midnight, No. 9 was tied up in the cafeteria for the entire night and was not released until the cafeteria NPC came to work.

At six o'clock in the morning, when No. 9 staggered back, his neck had returned to normal. When he saw Jie Fangcheng, his head swayed wildly. His neck, which was still longer than that of an ordinary person, looked like a faucet for watering flowers on the lawn.

Jie Fangcheng tried to reason with him: "Can you blame me for this? You wanted to eat me yesterday!"

Number Nine whimpered: "Twelve o'clock, no food..."

"Oh, you're normal at twelve, right?"

"Um… "

Jie Fangcheng touched his nose and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Number Nine went back to his room crying.

So after Number One woke up, Jie Fangcheng patted his shoulder, then patted his neck, chest, and limbs... Anyway, Number One finally gave in and limped off to find Number Nine.

Qi Chanyang: “…”

"What's wrong?"

But there were too many things to complain about, so Qi Chanyang opened his mouth: "... Number One also listens to you?"

Jie Fangcheng said tactfully: "It's OK. We communicated with each other a little bit."

After a while, the players woke up one after another.

After a good night's sleep, everyone seemed to be in worse spirits than yesterday.

Xue Kai's face turned pale: "What on earth is that pill? I've been having nightmares tonight."

"Me too, me too! I keep dreaming about when I die."

"I kept dreaming about what happened in the cafeteria yesterday... yue..."

All the players who took the medicine had nightmares, but Gu Shanshan looked the best among them.

Many people were curious and asked what happened after she didn't take the medicine yesterday.

When Gu Shanshan finished telling the story of the No. 4 mutation yesterday, the crowd gasped.

The current patient NPCs look scary enough, but they can also transform! They are so scary after the transformation!

Can they really clear this copy

After listening to this, Lu Xiaoqin was very anxious: "Are you okay?"

"I almost died yesterday. Fortunately, Brother Qi saved me."

About ten meters away, He Xin urged again: "It's time to eat!"

Many people trembled after hearing his voice, and Lu Xiaoqin fearfully grabbed Gu Shanshan's sleeve.

Qi Chanyang felt a little more confident.

He said calmly: "Let's go eat first, and then talk after dinner."

When we arrived at the cafeteria, the patient NPCs were already seated. Even No. 1 and No. 9, who came from nowhere, were sitting at the dining table.

The nine patients looked at them in unison, their unusual faces facing them. Lu Xiaoqin thought of what Gu Shanshan had described yesterday and trembled with fear. Gu Shanshan held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay."

After the players took their seats one by one, breakfast was served soon.

White rice porridge with pickled vegetables and two fried dough sticks per person.

The seemingly normal breakfast slightly eased everyone's anxiety.

After Gu Shanshan sat down, Patient No. 4 next to her looked at her and said, "Big sister."

Everyone felt a little sad.

Yesterday in “Maican”, this NPC also said the most terrifying words in this voice.

—Let’s play a game and guess how much meat you have.

At this moment, the little girl looked like a normal little girl, except that her eyeballs were bulging, and when she stared at people, it made people feel a chill on their backs.

She tilted her head and said, "Big sister, you were so smart yesterday! But Qingqing won't lose again tonight!"

There was silence at the table.

Lu Xiaoqin covered her mouth and looked at her worriedly.

Gu Shanshan was quite calm, and asked, "If I choose to take medicine at night, will Qingqing take it?"

Number Four pursed his lips and lowered his head to drink his porridge.

Number One also didn't take any medicine. He didn't say anything at this time and just lowered his head to eat the fried dough sticks.

In silence, Jie Fangcheng asked No. 9: "I'm curious too, No. 9, if I take medicine tonight, will you take it too?"

Number Nine's eyes lit up: "Eat, eat... I need to take medicine."

Xue Kai's brain was quick, and he immediately reacted: "Brother Jie, didn't you take your medicine yesterday?"

"Um."

Everyone looked at him, Xue Kai said quickly: "If you didn't take the medicine, what happened yesterday? Those few..."

Xue Kai pointed his chin at He Xin who was standing at the door.

"Can I not take this medicine?"

"sure."

"Oh my god! How did you do that??"

Jie Fangcheng said tactfully: "I talked to the doctor a bit."

Sun Miao rushed to ask: "Can we still communicate? Is it easy to communicate?"

Jie Fangcheng was honest: "It's not easy to communicate."

Then he added: "So it is recommended not to communicate with them."

Everyone thought, who else but you can communicate with these NPCs

Xue Kai was a bit blindly obedient to him, and at this time he was ready to ask for advice: "How do you communicate with them?" Jie Fangcheng demonstrated it himself.

He turned his head and said to He Xin who had been staring at him: "What are you looking at? Are you looking for death?"

He Xin glared at him fiercely, but lowered his head.

Jie Fangcheng said calmly: "Look, he's not looking at me anymore. Doesn't this mean that the communication is successful?"

Xue Kai: “???”

Everyone: “????”
