Liu Hanxi.
Liu Hanyue.
Liu Hanyue—Ge Juan’s daughter and the owner of the room without a sign next to the cafeteria.
The two names were so similar that Qi Chanyang immediately asked, "What is your relationship with Liu Hanyue?"
Liu Hanxi curled her lips: "It's my sister."
Gu Shanshan and Qi Chanyang exchanged glances.
Gu Shanshan squatted down and looked Liu Hanxi in the eye: "Xiaoxi, why did you come to this hospital?"
Liu Hanxi tilted his head and looked at her with his left eye. The eyeball of his right eye fell down as if it was out of control. He caught it skillfully and pressed it back into the eye socket.
"Mom said I was sick and needed treatment."
"What's wrong with you?"
Liu Hanxi shook his head: "I don't know."
Gu Shanshan then asked: "Then do you know where your sister went?"
Liu Hanxi shook his head again.
The normal person was found, but nothing seemed to have changed.
Liu Hanxi knew very little, and it was not clear whether it was because he was young or because he was unwilling to tell them.
"My mother said that I was too stupid and my eyesight was not good. She would find a way to treat me... I didn't know how to treat it, but Uncle Han said that as long as I took the medicine well, I would definitely get better."
Take medicine well again.
Does this medicine have any other effects besides transforming the body? Why did Ge Juan bring her son to take this medicine
At this moment, Liu Hanxi seemed to hear some sound.
He looked at Qi Chanyang anxiously: "Uncle, can I take the medicine now? The dean will be angry if I don't."
"Who is the dean? Have you ever met the dean?"
A trace of fear appeared on Liu Hanxi's face: "I have met Dean Chen. He is very tall and strong."
Gu Shanshan hurriedly asked: "What will happen if the dean gets angry?"
Liu Hanxi shuddered, his left eye wide open: "When he gets angry... he will, he will eat people."
Gu Shanshan comforted him: "It's okay, the uncle with the stick is very powerful, the dean won't be angry. That medicine is not a good thing, you can't take it anymore."
Liu Hanxi rolled his eyes and looked at Jie Fangcheng with a strange smile.
"But... people who don't take their medicine are not good and cannot see the dean."
Before anyone could understand what he meant, the lights in the corridor were suddenly turned off with a click, without anyone operating them.
The clock struck eleven on the first floor of the hospital.
Qi Chanyang's hand felt light, and Liu Hanxi, who had been behaving like a naughty child, took the medicine bottle from him while he was not paying attention and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
In the darkness, Liu Hanxi smiled a mixture of fear and excitement: "You will meet the dean soon! He is very powerful... He is my sister's food!"
"What's the meaning?"
But after Liu Hanxi took the medicine that took a while to take effect on other patients, he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep in the corridor.
Gu Shanshan's brain was working rapidly.
"'My sister is the one he eats', but you clearly saw Liu Hanyue yesterday, Brother Qi, she should still be alive?... No! We have seen all these NPCs now, the patients, the doctors, Ge Juan... including the NPCs in the kitchen, during the day. Only Liu Hanyue! We didn't see her during the day!"
Gu Shanshan felt that something was missing.
Just one more clue... It seems like the whole thing could be solved.
At this moment, Qi Chanyang's face suddenly changed.
"Something is coming! Everyone, quickly go back to your room and close the door!"
The eight players immediately divided into groups of two according to the originally allocated rooms, returned to their rooms, turned off the lights and went to bed.
Qi Chanyang looked at Jie Fangcheng who was still standing in the corridor.
Xie Fangcheng nodded at him: "I can beat him."
Qi Chanyang then breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door of Ward No. 1.
There was complete silence and darkness.
Qi Chanyang's "Self-cultivation of the Clay Man" was activated, and he could clearly sense that an extremely terrifying aura was slowly approaching.
This aura was more terrifying than Ge Juan... no, it was even more terrifying than the level 2 boss he had experienced before.
If he opened the door now, Qi Chanyang felt that he might see a monster as tall and terrifying as a mountain.
Getting closer...
Even though he knew Jie Fangcheng was guarding the door, Qi Chanyang still felt an instinctive shudder.
If he still had a chance of escaping from Ge Juan, under the aura of this NPC dean, Qi Chanyang had no doubt that he would not even dare to move.
Fortunately, there is Jie Fangcheng...
The monster's breath was getting closer and closer, and Qi Chanyang couldn't help but frown.
quiet.
Why is it so quiet
Wouldn’t Jie Fangcheng hit the monster with a stick when he saw it
Why has he not responded yet
The breath at the door was getting closer and closer.
Qi Chanyang could feel that it had reached the stairs, only one step away from the door of Ward No. 1.
Why? Jie Fangcheng is standing at the door!
While Qi Chanyang was still thinking, the monster's breath had already reached the door of Ward No. 1.
It stood at the door. In the dead silence, Sun Miao, who was lying on another bed, spoke tremblingly: "Who... who is knocking on the door? Brother Jie?"
"What?" Qi Chanyang was stunned for a moment, "Did someone knock on the door?"
"Yes! Brother Qi, the sound is getting louder and louder... Yue, it's getting louder and louder!"
The wall between Ward 1 and Ward 3 was just broken by Han Qi, and Lu Xiaoqin's voice came along. She trembled and said, "I heard it too..."
Gu Shanshan immediately said, "I didn't hear it. It seems that those of us who didn't take the medicine didn't hear the knock on the door!"
First, there were words that only players who had taken the medicine could see, and now there was a knock on the door that only players who had taken the medicine could hear...
Qi Chanyang suddenly reacted: "It's not hysteria! It's a side quest!"
As he shouted, Sun Miao on the bed next to him screamed miserably and was grabbed by something unknown.
He struggled in mid-air, and the sharp claws of the unknown monster pierced his abdomen. Blood suddenly spurted out and splashed on half of Qi Chanyang's body.
"Sun Miao!!!" Qi Chanyang was terrified. He knew it was impossible to attack the BOSS of the side copy, but he still took out the "Gift of Whale Fall" and used all his strength to stab at the ball of air that held Sun Miao.
Just like piercing into a thick fog, the "Gift from Whale Fall" passed through the air under Sun Miao and pierced into the wall.
Sun Miao spat out a mouthful of blood: "Save me! Save me...Ah!!"
Qi Chanyang's eyes turned red.
Can't be saved!
The BOSSes of the side quests all appear in fixed scenes, like Liu Hanyue who was triggered by Qi Chanyang yesterday. She appears in her own room on the first floor, and once she leaves that room, she can be touched by everyone.
So yesterday, Jie Fangcheng saw her and attacked her.
But a boss like the Dean... or to put it another way, the Dean BOSS actually appears in fixed scenes.
The scene where he appears regularly is [Hospital]. Now they have not left the hospital scene, so except for those who are in the side copy at this time, players who are not in the side copy cannot attack the BOSS.
At the same time, the BOSS of the side copy cannot attack players who are not in the side copy.
In other words... except for the three players including Jie Fangcheng who didn't take medicine, the rest of the players are within the dean's attack range.
Jie Fangcheng and the other three couldn't attack the dean, and the dean couldn't attack the three of them!
When did Sun Miao and the others enter the side copy
There will definitely be a prompt after entering the branch copy!!
It was last night! They all took medicine last night, and after taking the medicine, everyone fell asleep, so even though the system prompted them, they didn't hear it.
Maybe the dean had come last night, but everyone else had taken medicine and fell asleep, so the dean did not attack them.
But today, the player who took the medicine did not take it again, triggering the dean's death rule!
medicine!!
The medicine is with Liu Hanxi!
Players must take the medicine as soon as possible!!
At this moment, in Qi Chanyang's sight, the door of Ward No. 1 suddenly opened.
It was Jie Fangcheng who heard the screams and walked in.
When he came in, he looked up and said, “I’ll go!”
Why is Sun Miao floating in the air like a sunny doll? As if he is being held by something
Jie Fangcheng raised his stick.
Qi Chanyang stopped him: "It's useless! Go save everyone first! That medicine bottle..."
Before he finished his words, Jie Fangcheng smashed down heavily with the stick in his hand.
If Qi Chanyang's attack on the side-quest BOSS just now was like entering a cloud of fog, it seemed as if he had passed through something, but it caused no damage at all.
Jie Fangcheng's blow with the stick was like hitting a waterfall.
There was a "pop" sound, and this time even Qi Chanyang could hear it.
"What the hell is this?" Jie Fangcheng couldn't help himself.
What the hell is this? He felt like he was hitting a ball of cotton through something.
This thing was so weak that Jie Fangcheng couldn't even sense its existence... Of course, Jie Fangcheng couldn't actually sense anything.
He had been down there for too long, and suddenly came to a place where the concentration was too low, just like a person who had been drinking honey as water for years and could not taste the sweetness of fruit juice. Now, everything he looked at seemed to be nothing.
But this thing feels sticky when used, and it doesn't feel as good as the ones used on Han Qi and the others.
What is this
Sun Miao had fainted. Lu Xiaoqin understood what was going on just by listening to the conversation between Qi Chanyang and Gu Shanshan. Now she was the only one in the room who could see and hear this monster.
She was trembling all over and couldn't see anything in the darkness. She gritted her teeth, sat up straight and turned on the light in the room.
Warm golden light leaked into Ward No. 1 from the gap between the two rooms. Lu Xiaoqin opened her eyes wide, forcing herself to hold back the nauseous feeling of fear that made her want to vomit, while she quickly gave instructions to Jie Fangcheng, the only person who could attack the monster.
"Brother Jie! You hit him in the abdomen! He screamed... He wanted to eat Brother Sun!! His mouth was next to Brother Sun's right foot!!!"
Jie Fangcheng didn't know where the monster was, so he followed his instructions, jumped up from the wall, and smashed Sun Miao's right foot with the stick in his hand.
Sun Miao fell to the ground like a sunny doll with its string cut, and his life or death was unknown.
This time, Qi Chanyang could even feel a distinct vibration coming from the floor.
He looked at Jie Fangcheng in shock, confusion and fear.
Players who have not received the side copy cannot attack the BOSS of the side copy.
This is not the player’s own experience summary at all!
This is clearly written in the system's player manual!!
what's the situation
what happened
At this moment, the monster screamed.
Lu Xiaoqin's voice was clear and bright: "He raised his hand! He wants to pat Brother Sun on the head!!"
Jie Fangchengyan moved casually and yanked Sun Miao's head upward with the stick in his hand.
Lu Xiaoqin shuddered, her eyes widened: "It's...looking at me now!"
The monster is indeed very tall, but that's because he is not a "human".
He was pieced together from various humans and non-human animals. In the darkness, the monster as black as a hill turned his head, and that inhuman face had human features.
Lu Xiaoqin recognized it at the first sight.
"It's Chen Xiangyuan! The facial features are Chen Xiangyuan!! It... it's rushing over now!!"
In Lu Xiaoqin's pupils, the monster rushed from Ward No. 1 through the walls of the two wards almost at lightning speed - he was like a ball of deformable mud, squeezing in from the hole, bringing the smell of blood to the room.
Gu Shanshan hugged her in panic, as if this would prevent her from being strangled in mid-air like Sun Miao.
But the monster's long, sharp fingers had already stretched out, and then it opened its huge mouth, which looked like countless mouths sewn together.
Lu Xiaoqin screamed, "It's in front of me!!"
The next second—
With a "bang" sound!
The monster in front of Lu Xiaoqin looked like a sack hit by a boxer, spinning and hitting the wall.
Under the light, Jie Fangcheng had his back to her, still in the posture of smashing out with a stick - it was strange, he seemed to be not used to using this kind of thing, and when he swung the stick it was more like dancing with a sword.
The stick stopped at the ground, and he unconsciously and habitually made a sword flower, frowning.
"What the hell?"
“Brother Jie…” Lu Xiaoqin’s eyes were filled with tears.
Jie Fangcheng turned his head and looked at her: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Before she finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqin's face turned pale, "Brother Jie..."
"What's wrong? Where is that thing?" Jie Fangcheng picked up the stick again.
Lu Xiaoqin stared at the room in a daze: "It...it..."
In the room, the monster that was originally as big as a hill began to melt and really crawled all over the room like mud.
From time to time, some organs would roll out of the mud and then sink back into the mud again.
The monster's voice came from all directions, including men and women, old and young.
"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!"
Pairs of eyes emerged from the mud.
"What's wrong? Where is the monster?"
Lu Xiaoqin looked at him blankly, with a kind of emptiness in her eyes that only a dying person would have: "Brother Jie...save me..."
Before she finished her words, Lu Xiaoqin's body was suddenly covered with red spots.
Strands of hair passed through her body, slowly dragging her into the air.
Lu Xiaoqin is timid and easily frightened, often screaming.
But at this moment, she opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Jie Fangcheng jumped up from the wall and swung his stick!
Still hit something, but it was of no use at all!
Lu Xiaoqin was slowly lifted into the air.
The mouth that was originally stitched into one now split into countless pieces, surrounding her.
Everyone opened their mouths, drooling as they looked at Lu Xiaoqin in mid-air.
Lu Xiaoqin's tears rolled down. Her throat was pierced by a strand of hair. She was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to scream.
She looked down at the two people.
Jie Fangcheng seemed to understand something and was swinging the stick in his hand towards the wall.
The mud-like monster that he hit let out a painful roar, but it did not affect the other monsters in the mud who continued to stare at Lu Xiaoqin.
This time I'm really going to die...
Lu Xiaoqin looked at Jie Fangcheng, then at Gu Shanshan.
Her pupils seemed to be somewhat dilated, and she only had the strength to open her mouth.
-Thank you.
Lu Xiaoqin spoke using lip language.
Gu Shanshan cried out in pain, "Xiaoqin!"
But Lu Xiaoqin had already closed her eyes.
Under her, the monster's mouth emerged from the mud one after another, and it seemed that it was about to bite Lu Xiaoqin.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Qi Chanyang held the "Gift from Whale Fall" tightly in his hand. He raised his hand suddenly, and the skill of "Gift from Whale Fall" was activated. A water sword seemed to have life and broke away from the bone spur, spinning like a dart, harvesting above Lu Xiaoqin.
The hair broke one after another.
"Xiaoqin!"
Gu Shanshan rushed over and caught Lu Xiaoqin who had fallen, then dragged her into the nearby Ward No. 1 and put her and Sun Miao in a corner to look after them.
Lu Xiaoqin was covered in blood, her eyes were closed, and it was unclear whether she was dead or alive.
Jie Fangcheng was surprised: "Can you attack?"
"right!"
There was no time to explain, Qi Chanyang clenched the weapon in his hand and activated the rabbit kick skill.
When the monsters merged into one, he could sense an extremely terrifying aura. But now, the monsters separated on their own initiative, and Qi Chanyang still dared to fight one-on-one.
This is different from the kitchen NPC. That NPC is essentially just a monster that can split into countless small bats.
But this... How many things are made of this
The monster felt pain, roared, and then formed a huge arm from the mud and smashed it towards Qi Chanyang.
"Brother Jie! Help me!!"
Qi Chanyang's item "Broken Shadow Man" was activated instantly.
Because the monster is so huge, the size of its shadow is also very impressive.
This prop is not that powerful, and Qi Chanyang does not plan to use shadow man to fight monsters, but it is still possible to control the shadow to imitate.
Jie Fangcheng's eyes lit up: "Here it comes!"
Although he couldn't see the monster with his eyes, he followed the movements of the shadow and accurately hit the monster's synthetic arm with his stick.
After a few times, after a roar like a lion or tiger, the monsters opened their eyes and looked at Qi Chanyang with resentment, very unwilling, but quickly slipped out from the crack of the door like mud.
Qi Chanyang fell to the ground.
Jie Fangcheng looked at him, and then looked at him again.
Qi Chanyang smiled bitterly: "I took two pills."
In order to speed up the effect of the medicine, Qi Chanyang could only take two pills at a time.
Unlike the newcomers, he could clearly feel the changes in himself after taking two pills at a time.
The hair grew longer, the arms grew longer, and even the legs grew a little longer.
It looks like he is heading towards becoming a patient NPC.
The only lucky thing was that he finally heard the "ding" sound of the side quest opening in time.
[Ding—Player Qi Chanyang triggers the multiplayer side quest: Dean! Great Dean! ]
[Ah! Our great dean! Although he is very busy! Although he shoulders a heavy responsibility! But he still comes every night! To check! The room! What a noble spirit! Praise the dean! ]
[Hint: The dean hates patients who don't follow the doctor's advice the most! Are you someone he hates? ]
Qi Chanyang sighed inwardly.
He was before, but he’s taking two pills now, does that count as doubly obedient
Jie Fangcheng looked at him and couldn't help but be moved.
This person... has been emphasizing to everyone that you can't take medicine, you can't take medicine, and taking too much medicine will kill you, but at this time he took the initiative to take two pills.
The effect of Qi Chanyang's medicine had already taken effect, and there was a cut on his leg that he had cut himself.
"I just gave one to the other players. At least this way, they can get through the night safely. Remember to give one to Xiaoqin and Sun Miao later."
Qi Chanyang felt that he was a little confused.
He glanced at Lu Xiaoqin and Sun Miao who were lying side by side on the ground.
Both of them looked pale, and Gu Shanshan was bandaging their wounds.
But the situation is not optimistic.
Sun Miao looked seriously injured. There was a long puncture wound on his abdomen and blood was oozing out.
But in fact, Lu Xiaoqin is the one who is truly dangerous.
Her body was covered with wounds, like a hydrangea pierced by countless needles and threads. Even her internal organs had been pierced, but on the surface she still looked as usual.
Qi Chanyang took out a roll of bandages from the system backpack: "This is all I have."
His points have been used up.
Gu Shanshan took the bandage with trembling fingers and wrapped it around Lu Xiaoqin carefully. With her back to Qi Chanyang and the others, Gu Shanshan quickly raised her shoulders and rubbed her eyes.
Qi Chanyang's eyelids were twitching.
He knew he had reached his limit.
"I've asked you to carry the NPCs in the corridor into the house. Tonight... you have to work hard... to find clues... we don't have enough time. And..." Qi Chanyang tried to open his eyes and looked at Jie Fangcheng, "If you are the only one who can pass the level in the end... go to the forum... post... tell everyone... to be careful of this copy..."
Qi Chanyang tilted his head and fell asleep.
Gu Shanshan rubbed her eyes again.
At this moment, she heard Jie Fangcheng behind her seem to mutter something.
"Humans are really..."
Gu Shanshan took a deep breath, turned around, and her expression returned to her usual calm.
"What?"
Jie Fangcheng burst out laughing.
He shook his head.
"fine."
Gu Shanshan looked down at Lu Xiaoqin, then closed her eyes and made a decision.
"Brother Jie, they are no longer viable. I have an idea, maybe... we can give it a try."
