After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 18: Blue Mountain Mental Hospital (XVIII)

Views:

This time even the patient NPC stopped eating and stared at him blankly.

Xue Kai was dumbfounded: "Can this be possible?"

Qi Chanyang quickly said: "We can't do this!"

He was really worried that these new players would follow suit and start yelling at the NPCs.

What will happen if you develop this habit

Fortunately, novice players are just new, not stupid.

Look at these patient NPCs sitting next to you. They all look weird and your SAN value will drop if you look at them for too long.

In addition, with what happened to Gu Shanshan before, everyone knows that NPCs are very fierce and scary, and there is no time to avoid them. Who would want to deal with these NPCs!

Of course, the only exception is Jie Fangcheng—this guy is still chatting with No. 9 next to him.

Number Nine was crying out of grievance just now, with his head on his long neck almost parallel to his chest. He sniffed and took a sip of porridge, tears still falling from his pair of scary big eyes. People couldn't help but worry that he would cry his eyeballs out. The scene was extremely weird.

After Jie Fangcheng finished the "communication", Number Nine stopped crying. Half of his body moved towards Number Eight as if he was hiding from a dirty thing, and his two eyes on his upside-down head secretly looked at him.

On Xue Kai's left was Patient No. 8 NPC whose arms were twisted into a knot, and on his right was Patient No. 9 NPC whose neck was as snake-like as it was almost sticking to him. He was so scared to death being stuck in the middle that his left hand holding the spoon was shaking so much that he couldn't even get half a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

Jie Fangcheng was speechless and pulled Patient No. 9 back: "Look at why you are so scared? I may not hit you if I hit him."

uncertain!

Number Nine is going to whine again.

Jie Fangcheng hurriedly said, "Don't you like meatballs? Ask the chef to make them for you at noon! Make a big pot!"

Number Nine looked at him blankly: "No... OK..."

"It's okay, just discuss it with them!"

No matter how Qi Chanyang listened, he felt that there was not much difference between "discuss" and "communication".

Number Nine hesitated.

He is a shy person and is usually too embarrassed to say when he is not full.

Number Nine whispered: "This...isn't good...isn't it?"

"What's wrong with that?" Jie Fangcheng persuaded him, "There's a sign on the first floor that says 'The hospital loves me'. If they love you, they'll give you good food and drink. Don't worry!"

The temptation of meatballs was indeed quite strong. Number Nine's eyes soon became dull and he drooled: "Meat... Meat..."

Qi Chanyang looked at them speechlessly.

Is this a horror dungeon? ? Why did his teammates even order food?

And isn’t the slogan on the first floor “I love the hospital, the hospital loves me”? ? Those things in front are not important and can be left out, right?

After dinner, it was free time. This time, He Xin opened the door of the reading room and badminton hall on the first floor and disappeared without a trace.

Several people followed the patient NPC to the badminton hall first.

After the patients came in, they started exercising. Some of them lay on the ground with a ball and arched their backs, while others held a racket and twisted their body like they were having a seizure.

Everyone finally knew where the eyeball badminton that was hit so hard yesterday came from - No. 3 had dug out his eyeballs, leaving only black eye sockets.

He only had one left eye left, which was slowly turning and looking at the players gathered together.

Everyone felt cold.

Qi Chanyang blocked his view and quickly told him about the clues found yesterday and today's plan.

When they heard that there was a plan to tie the NPCs together tonight, everyone was confused.

Xue Kai couldn't help but ask: "How to tie it?"

Qi Chanyang first glanced at Jie Fangcheng.

The man was leaning against the wall with his stick, looking bored, not knowing whether to stand or sit properly.

Perhaps because he was tired of using the stick, he just put the stick on his shoulder like a gangster.

Qi Chanyang was silent for a moment.

He felt that if he said, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Jie will kidnap all the NPCs tonight," these newcomers would probably think he was mentally ill.

You have to see it with your own eyes.

Qi Chanyang could only say: "You will know tonight."

Everyone looked at each other, but they felt relieved after hearing what he said.

In this dungeon full of dangers, Qi Chanyang's reliable image has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although everyone doesn't know what he can do, they all trust him very much.

"So what do we do next? Continue looking for clues?"

"right."

There is very little in the table tennis hall and you can see almost everything at a glance.

Qi Chanyang: "Let's go to the reading room."

Yesterday he and Ge Juan had a brief fight in the reading room, and Ge Juan sawed the door of the reading room open.

But at this time, the door had been repaired again and even the room was cleaned again.

Who cleaned this

What's new

Qi Chanyang frowned and thought.

After entering the house, everyone dispersed and continued to look for new clues according to yesterday's arrangements.

Qi Chanyang also sat down next to the newspaper again, and then his eyes darkened.

Jie Fangcheng also sat down, holding a newspaper in his hand, flipping through it intermittently, and yawning from time to time.

Qi Chanyang said: "How about you take a nap?"

Jie Fangcheng pretended to hesitate: "You are all working, I am going to sleep, this is not good, right?"

Qi Chanyang smiled: "I'll have to ask you for help tonight."

"Okay then." Jie Fangcheng walked away without saying anything.

Qi Chanyang was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"Go to bed."

"Where are you going to sleep?" Qi Chanyang was confused.

He meant that Jie Fangcheng could take a nap on the seat over here, but where was he going to catch up on his sleep?

Jie Fangcheng was also confused: "Go back and sleep, where else can we find a bed here?"

Qi Chanyang was shocked.

They are all in a copy of the horror game. Does he need a bed to sleep?!

Jie Fangcheng looked at his expression and suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, you can't beat those NPCs."

"… "

Jie Fangcheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll move a bed down. I remember there's a spring bed in the dean's office on the third floor..."

As he said this, he opened the door and walked away.

"Eh!"

Qi Chanyang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. When he reached the door, Jie Fangcheng was already at the stairs.

Just now He Xin locked the iron door at the stairs again.

Qi Chanyang was careful and noticed when he came down that the locks on the door had been replaced with new ones, which looked sturdier than the old ones.

But there was a teeth-grinding "click" sound, and Jie Fangcheng threw the broken lock aside, opened the iron door, and disappeared from the stairs.

Qi Chanyang: “…”

Qi Chanyang waited at the door for a while, but there was no movement on the stairs.

However, there was a "ding" sound coming from the elevator behind me.

The elevator door opened, and Jie Fangcheng walked out of the elevator carrying a folded spring bed on his right shoulder and a pillow and bedding in his left hand.

"? What are you doing here?" Jie Fangcheng asked curiously.

Qi Chanyang looked at him, then at the elevator.

She looked at him, then at the elevator, and after a while she said, "You... are so arrogant!"

Jie Fangcheng also looked at him: "You are so weird!"

Where else can we get all these things down if not from the elevator

Jie Fangcheng moved the bed into the reading room, placed it against the wall next to the last bookcase, and lay down peacefully.

Although the new players didn't understand why he needed to sleep or where the bed came from, they all expressed their understanding.

"He was a newbie last night and didn't take any medicine. I guess he won't be more relaxed than Shanshan. Let him rest." said Sun Miao, a caring middle-aged man.

Everyone nodded.

The room was filled with the sound of flipping pages.

After a while, Lu Xiaoqin suddenly said in surprise: "Here is a diary!"

This is a very simple notebook, like the ones bought wholesale for fifty cents. It is a thin volume and is inconspicuous among a pile of thick professional books.

The name written on the cover of the diary is: Wang He.

When I opened it, I saw very neat handwriting.

[November 4th, heavy snow.]

It snowed heavily today, but she still went out with her cart. I saw from the window that she slipped and limped when she stood up. But she still went out.

It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have to sell the house, I would still have a job, and she wouldn't have to work so hard.

I really hate this disease!!]

[November 9, light rain.]

I spent another 5,000 yuan on medicine today. She said not to worry, the family has enough money, and she will definitely cure me. I am really lucky to have such a good wife! I love you, wife! !]

[November 21, light rain.]

why why why!!

I have never done anything bad in my life! Why did this terminal illness find me?! I want to die!

But no, I can't die! What's wrong with a terminal illness! She didn't give up on me even though she was terminally ill! She's my only relative! I can't give up! When I get better, I'm going to treat her well!! I love you!!]

[November 29, sunny.]

She has lost weight, her hair has turned white, and she looks very old. This is all for me... all for me. Wang He, how many lifetimes have you cultivated to be blessed! To have such a good wife!]

December 22

What kind of person is this doctor? He is not worthy of being called a doctor! Why does he advise us to give up treatment! Why!! I am only 28 years old! I will not die!! I cannot die! What will happen to her if I die? She is not in good health either, I have to support this family!!]

January 5

I saw her crying.

[January 11

I'm sorry, my wife, you have to go on alone. Fortunately, you gave up early and you still have some savings. Marry a healthy and good man in the future. How long can I accompany you? Half a year of survival is enough for us to say goodbye.]

Turn the page again.

The originally neat handwriting suddenly became sloppy, as if the person was extremely happy.

[January 14

I won the prize!!! Thank God!!! Thank God!!! The doctor said he came back from abroad! He will treat me for free! I am so lucky!!!

My wife was worried and went to check and found out that he had won many awards internationally! ! I am saved! Wife! We are saved! ! ! ! ]

[January 16, sunny!]

It's a sunny day today! The doctor said that a car from the hospital will come to pick us up! We are all lucky people who were selected by the "Blue Sky Project"! We are the first batch, a total of eight people!

But I have to separate from my wife. The doctor said that closed treatment will take about a year. She will miss me a lot. I will miss her a lot too! It doesn’t matter, we will see each other again in a year!]

Although the weather was bad, everyone in the car was very happy! I talked to them and found out that they were all poor people! Their families had no money to treat their illnesses.

But they… No! We! We are all lucky people! We were selected by the Blue Sky Project! The doctor said he is confident that we can recover! ! ! Oh my God! Thank you doctor! ! Thank you doctor! ! ! !]

January 21, heavy rain

Although I was lucky to be selected, I don't know why, but I always feel that this hospital is weird... I don't have any complaints about the doctors, but I always smell a strange smell at night, like the smell of the sea, but no one else seems to smell it.

Is it because of the rain?]

January 24, sunny

It is so relaxing here. We have good meals every day and everyone is happy talking and laughing. There is also a little sister among us who was abandoned after she got sick. Everyone loves her very much.

But the little girl might have been abandoned before, so she was very sensitive and had a bad temper, like a little hedgehog. Brother Li said that he would take Qingqing to his home after she was discharged from the hospital, and he would make sure Qingqing grew up healthy and happy.

After I get better, I want to give birth to a lovely daughter with my wife!]

[January 25, light rain

No more fishy smell!

The doctor said that treatment can start tomorrow!!]

Turning the page again, the handwriting suddenly became a little distorted.

[January 29

It hurts. I just had surgery and it hurts so much!

But there were no wounds on my body, and the doctor said it was normal... It was so strange that my trouser legs suddenly became shorter.

Have I become taller

[February 2

Another surgery... So strange... I feel like Brother Li has changed.]

[February

I can’t tell how many surgeries I’ve had. When I open my eyes now, I’m in the ward. Although there are no incisions on my body, it feels like something is stuffed inside my body.

What day is today

The security guard refused to tell me, but I saw on his calendar that it was still February.

[3rd day

It hurts... My name is Wang Ke

My wife’s name is… What’s my wife’s name? ? What’s my wife’s name? ? ?]

[3…

I want to go home... She is waiting for me to go home... I can't be cured...]

[I want to go home!]

[go home!]

[Go home, go home, go home...]

[go home]

The next few pages are blank.

At this moment, a page of paper clipped in the diary appeared in front of everyone.

Gu Shanshan had guessed that the Blue Mountain Psychiatric Hospital brochure, which was missing the last page, might contain the detailed address and contact information of the mental hospital when she found it on the newsstand.

But at the same time this little bit of information can't possibly take up an entire page - literally.

The most eye-catching words on this page are "Blue Mountain Plan".

[Blue Mountain Project: Blue Mountain Psychiatric Hospital aims to help all patients in need. The doctors will do their best to help you recover. Due to limited space, the hospital will admit the first batch of non-mental patients for free this month. Please cut out this page and send it to Blue Mountain Psychiatric Hospital. We will contact you as soon as possible.]

Gu Shanshan looked at the paper and quickly realized: "Now these NPC patients are the eight patients selected for the 'Blue Mountain Project'. Patient No. 4 is the little girl named Qingqing! This Wang He... is tall, so he should be Patient No. 6. The hospital tricked these people into coming in for experiments under the guise of 'free treatment'! Every time Wang He opened his eyes and woke up, he was in the ward. He thought he had undergone surgery again and again, but in fact there was no incision... I suspect that they have already done experiments on other mental patients in the early stage, and the experimental results were very successful, so they finally tricked some seriously ill people without mental problems to come in for the final confirmation. At this stage, they no longer need surgery, but only use drugs to achieve the effect!"

After Gu Shanshan finished speaking, Qi Chanyang added: "But they had eight patients in total, and we are seeing nine now! One of them is a normal person, which makes sense!"

"So what's the point of this diary..."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Shanshan inadvertently turned to the last page.

There is a line of small words on the cover on the back of the book.

That should be the last time Wang He woke up.

His handwriting was twisted, but he wrote with great care and force, and the tip of the pen almost scratched the paper.

It's just a name.

—Han Fangfang.

No one spoke for a moment, and everyone was almost certain that this was the name of Wang He's wife.

Wang He was diagnosed with a terminal illness. His wife Han Fangfang sold their house and opened a stall to save him.

As for Wang He, he may not know his own name now, but fortunately he finally remembered his wife's name.

If it weren't for the Blue Mountains Psychiatric Hospital, this couple would have been able to accompany each other through the final journey even if they had to separate sooner or later.

But now...

The person who lived with patient No. 6 was called Hu Jian, a photographer. His tires slipped on the road on a rainy day and he unfortunately fell into the river and drowned.

At this moment, a trace of pity appeared on his face.

"Number six... His legs are in pieces... So when he walks it looks like he's walking on springs..."

Even Qi Chanyang, an old player who had completed many dungeons, couldn't help but frown.

But now is not the time for these players to stand up for the NPCs.

Qi Chanyang calmed down first.

He looked at the diary in his hand: "I see. Our idea is right. We need to determine who is a normal person first. If we want to determine who is a normal person, we need to not take medicine, but if we don't take medicine, the NPC will be alienated, and after alienation, it will attack us. If we want to avoid being attacked..."

Qi Chanyang pointed to the last name.

"Just like this name, if we know this name and then face No. 6, he might not attack us... Or there is another possibility, after knowing this name, we can persuade the NPC to take medicine, but we don't take it."

This is a clue that can save your life!

Qi Chanyang said: "Now, let's continue to look for something similar, not necessarily a diary."

Everyone nodded.

Just when the atmosphere was peaceful and positive, He Xin's sinister voice came from the door of the reading room.

"Free time is up, get ready for treatment! Those whose names I call out, please come out."

He first stuck his head out and looked inside, his eyes rolling around as if he was looking for something.

Finally, everyone vaguely felt that he seemed to be relieved, and then two large, scary eyeballs flashed across everyone's face one by one.

Lu Xiaoqin was closer to the door and took a step back in fright.

He Xin's eyes didn't move, he just stared at her.

"Ms. Lu, you are the first one, come with me."

Lu Xiaoqin was trembling all over.

She was a timid person, and after being transferred into this horror game, she felt like she was going to faint at any moment. When others were gradually getting used to this horror atmosphere, Lu Xiaoqin was still crying out of fear because she was alone in a room with an NPC.

Being the first one to be called, she looked at Qi Chanyang with despair in her eyes.

Qi Chanyang took the initiative to speak: "Let me go first."

He Xin sneered: "Don't worry, everyone will get a consultation from Dr. Han."

It was obvious that Lu Xiaoqin would be the first target.

Qi Chanyang straightened his lips and comforted her with mouth language: Don't be afraid, listen to the NPC, everything will be okay.

Ask Lu Xiaoqin to see a doctor. As long as Lu Xiaoqin is obedient and does not trigger the killing rules, even if the NPC wants to kill her, it cannot do so. This is the rule of the copy.

Lu Xiaoqin knew it clearly, but she was still so frightened that her face turned pale and she followed He Xin out with weak steps.

He Xin turned his head to look at them, left a sinister smile, and took Lu Xiaoqin to the second floor.

Gu Shanshan was very worried: "Is Xiaoqin okay?"

Qi Chanyang shook his head: "It's okay. As long as she follows the rules, the NPC won't do anything to her."

Gu Shanshan still frowned: "Xiaoqin will not disobey the NPC. She is timid. But I am afraid that the NPC will deliberately scare her and make her afraid, thus breaking the rules."

yes.

It's obvious that this little girl grew up in an ivory tower, and she can always scare people.

Whenever she wasn't the first one to go, it was Qi Chanyang.

After all, Qi Chanyang had cleared so many dungeons and was very brave...

brave…

Qi Chanyang suddenly came back to his senses.

.

Second floor.

There were no windows in the corridor, not a single ray of sunlight could get in.

The only sound in the dead silent corridor was Lu Xiaoqin's own footsteps. The person in front of her was wearing a white coat, his legs moving alternately forward without making any sound. The mottled wall looked like a distorted human figure in the dim environment, and Lu Xiaoqin almost had to lean against the wall to move forward.

He Xin turned around.

His already terrifyingly large eyes looked like two terrifying black balls at this moment, staring straight at her.

"Ms. Lu, your appointment is about to start. Please don't waste time on the way. Dr. Han is a very strict person. If you are late, he will be angry."

Lu Xiaoqin shuddered, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to cry out loud.

She has always been timid. When she was a child, she would be so scared by a dog's roar that she would freeze in place and dare not move. At this time, she didn't even dare to raise her eyes, but only lowered her head and stared at her feet.

Just at this moment, a terrifying face suddenly appeared in sight.

He Xin bent over, turned his neck 180 degrees, and looked at her right under her eyes.

"Ah!" Lu Xiaoqin screamed and then burst into tears.

He Xin's mouth opened into a distinct arc under the mask, and he pretended to be surprised: "Ms. Lu, did you see any terrible scene? Why are you crying?"

As long as Lu Xiaoqin nodded, he would prescribe one for her on the grounds that "what you saw was all an illusion"... No, he couldn't wait any longer, he would prescribe two!

If she takes two more...

Lu Xiaoqin bit her lips tightly, crying and gasping for breath in fear, her hands that were holding the wall were shaking, and her nails left a scratch on the wall.

Lu Xiaoqin shook her head slowly: "No... I, I didn't see anything."

He Xin stared at her.

After saying this, Lu Xiaoqin covered her mouth, raised her head after a while, and her whole face was covered with tears.

"No... do you want to see a doctor?" she asked.

He Xin's smile disappeared little by little.

He snorted coldly and continued to lead the way reluctantly.

After arriving at the door of the outpatient clinic, Lu Xiaoqin took a deep breath.

She walked in trembling.

The dim consulting room was like a monster, opening its bloody mouth at her.
