After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 29: Blue Mountain Mental Hospital (XXIX)

That's not really a "person".

If Jie Fangcheng opened his eyes, he would find that this "person" had the head of Patient No. 1, the long and thin arms that belonged to Patient No. 6, but the hands that belonged to Patient No. 9.

Its entire upper body is extremely small, and it is obvious that it is a child's body - this is Patient No. 4.

Perhaps because it came in a hurry, this "person" had four legs on its lower body, one from each person. Because the legs were of different lengths, it staggered when it walked in, and each step was extremely difficult.

It walked to Liu Hanxi and stretched out its hand.

The hands from Patient No. 9 slowly untied Liu Hanxi's rope.

As soon as he broke free from the restraints, Liu Hanxi immediately looked at the person lying on the bed and gestured to the "person" who saved him: Kill him first, so that he won't ruin our good deeds!

Patient No. 1 nodded in agreement, but his hands were raised uncontrollably and he gestured to Liu Hanxi.

-do not kill.

Liu Hanxi was angry: He didn't take any medicine anyway! He must be dying!

-no.

Liu Hanxi's fingers danced quickly: Are you sick? He is going to die sooner or later, doesn't it make a difference

-do not kill.

The two men faced each other and fought for a long time like they were fighting with hand seals. Liu Hanxi was faster and even finished his composition after dancing for a while. However, the opponent was obviously more advantageous and all of them said "No, no".

He was furious, but time was running out, so he could only turn around angrily and look at the person lying on the next bed, then tiptoe out with the group.

The door closed gently.

Jie Fangcheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

.

The corridor was silent during lunch break.

This is the only safe time in the hospital, and the doctors need to go to the third floor to eat... Although something seems to have happened on the third floor recently, making their food very scarce, and Han Qi has been drooling over it for two days, but compared to the evenings when the dean is active, lunch break is naturally safer.

Liu Hanxi walked to the elevator, and the "person" following him stretched out his arms skillfully, stretching his long arms to two fingers wide, with his fingers touching the top of the elevator. Then the hands squeezed into a flat piece and went into the elevator shaft.

Soon, the elevator display light that was originally showing "1" went out.

The "people" around Liu Hanxi exerted force, and the eight NPCs gathered into one, and only then were they able to barely pry open the elevator door.

The elevator door was pitch black, but there seemed to be a pile of something on the top of the elevator.

Liu Hanxi carefully jumped onto the top of the elevator, and stretched his hand downwards, his palm seemed to be stuck in a ball of mud. He stirred it for a while, and then pulled his hand out.

After it was pulled out, only white bones were left on his palm, but flesh was wriggling, quickly wrapping his hand again and soon growing into a new hand.

The mud gave off an unpleasant smell, but Liu Hanxi picked it up as if it were a precious pet and rubbed it against her cheek.

Countless strange, shrunken canine teeth rolled out from the mud and immediately started gnawing at his skin when they came into contact with it. The sound of canines eating could be heard from the silent elevator shaft.

Soon, Liu Hanxi reluctantly tore it back into his hand.

"Good dog, it's up to you tonight."

After saying that, he threw the mud in his hand against the wall.

On the dark wall, countless clumps of mud split apart, then gathered together, and finally formed bulges.

After doing all this, Liu Hanxi stood up, stretched out his arms, and waited quietly to be pulled up.

He waited for a few seconds, but there was no response from the person above.

Liu Hanxi slowly raised his head.

At the elevator entrance, an almost pale face stretched above his head, and a pair of dark eyes looked at him, and it was unknown how long they had been looking at him.

Jie Fangcheng's scarlet lips curved up: "What are you busy with?"

Liu Hanxi: “…”

Jie Fangcheng supported his chin. At his feet, the eight-member NPC group that had gathered together was scattered on the ground. Except for No. 1 whose head was knocked unconscious, the rest were lined up obediently. No. 9 had his hands crossed, looking peaceful and well-behaved.

Liu Hanxi looked at him, then suddenly turned around and fell directly into the gap next to the elevator.

I go!

Xie Fangcheng was stunned.

But the height of one floor obviously would not kill Liu Hanxi, a patient NPC. Only a "bang" was heard, and then Jie Fangcheng looked again and saw that there was no one in the elevator shaft. He didn't know where Liu Hanxi had gone.

Jie Fangcheng stretched his head and looked into the elevator shaft, but after looking for a long time he couldn't figure out what was going on.

He just said that this kind of work is not something he can do well.

Xie Fangcheng sighed, walked to the door of Ward No. 1 and knocked.

"Xiaoyang, I found a clue."

No one answered the door.

Jie Fangcheng knocked again, but still no response.

Qi Chanyang is a very serious person. Even if he has fallen asleep, he will wake up as long as there is a slight noise.

what happened

Jie Fangcheng opened the door directly.

The moment the door opened, Qi Chanyang, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, holding the "Gift from the Whale Fall" in his hand, and looked at the door warily.

When Jie Fangcheng asked, "What's wrong with you?", Qi Chanyang was stunned: "Brother Jie?"

Jie Fangcheng was puzzled: "Yes, can't you see me?"

Qi Chanyang looked at the person at the door.

In his eyes, there was a monster wearing an orange coat and a strange mask standing at the door.

The monster was tall, with water spots dotted on its orange coat.

To be honest, Qi Chanyang didn't believe it at first. After all, No. 9 could also imitate Jie Fangcheng's voice.

But the next second, the monster came with a shiny stick in his hand and put it on his shoulder, and his tone was still that nonchalant and asking for a beating.

"What's with that expression on your face? Like you saw a ghost?"

Qi Chanyang laughed bitterly: "It really is like seeing a ghost."

After he described the scene he was seeing, Jie Fangcheng was speechless: "You hysterical people are still bringing me a change of clothes?"

When they arrived at the elevator, Qi Chanyang looked at the NPC fragments scattered around the elevator shaft, and couldn't help but frown after hearing what had just happened.

"What on earth does Liu Hanxi want to do?"

"I do not know."

Qi Chanyang simply jumped to the top of the elevator. After jumping up, he was stunned for a moment.

"Soft."

The top of the elevator seemed to be covered with a thick layer of mud. Qi Chanyang jumped up and felt the touch on his feet. He squatted down and reached out to touch it.

It's not an illusion, it is indeed soft and feels sticky to the touch, as if there is a layer of film wrapping the wet soil together.

Qi Chanyang raised his head and looked around.

In the elevator shaft, clumps of squirming mud clung to the walls, making the already dilapidated elevator shaft look even more terrifying and eerie.

Qi Chanyang's nose twitched and his brows furrowed: "Brother Jie, do you smell a burning smell?"

Jie Fangcheng took two breaths, then shook his head: "No."

Qi Chanyang smelled it carefully, and the burnt smell seemed to have disappeared.

The elevator shaft was pitch black, yet it gave people a sense of being spied on.

Qi Chanyang's "self-cultivation of the clay man" did not give any warning, but he instinctively felt uncomfortable.

"Brother Jie, please pull me up first."

Jie Fangcheng didn't have much else but a lot of ropes, and soon a rope was hung down.

Qi Chanyang grabbed the rope and quickly climbed out of the elevator shaft.

Jie Fangcheng asked: "What did you find?"

Qi Chanyang couldn't help but take a step back.

Now Jie Fangcheng is chatting with me in the guise of this monster, which really makes people lose some SAN value.

Qi Chanyang turned his face away, and when he could no longer see him, he spoke: "The things on the wall are similar to the dean's, all mud-like stuff. The top of the elevator feels very soft."

"oh."

Qi Chanyang looked at him and sighed.

"Forget it, I'll go find Shanshan."

Gu Shanshan couldn't sleep in Ward No. 4. She always felt that there were many strange things in this copy.

The condition for passing the copy is to survive for three days. If an old player enters the game, such as Qi Chanyang, if it is not for helping them, the newcomers, Qi Chanyang can just not take medicine every day, he can defeat NPC No. 1.

But newbies have no way out when facing NPCs.

According to Qi Chanyang, the system gives each player an equal chance of survival.

But this copy is complete hell for newcomers.

Took the medicine and died three days later.

If you don’t take medicine, you will die on the first day.

So if a team is made up of novice players, what should they do to pass the dungeon

Are their current speculations and plans correct

Seeing Jie Fangcheng and the others at this time, and looking at the elevator shaft, Gu Shanshan felt a strange feeling in her heart becoming stronger.

"Brother Qi, your hysteria is getting worse. Now you can't hear Brother Jie knocking on the door. Maybe in a few hours, when he stands in front of you, you won't even be able to recognize him."

Qi Chanyang also nodded seriously: "Yes."

"Liu Hanxi and these patient NPCs obviously took action at night... We don't know what the action is yet." Gu Shanshan frowned, "Brother Qi, do you think... someone seems to have deliberately removed a very critical clue from this copy, which makes us particularly passive."

Gu Shanshan looked at the dark elevator shaft. "According to the normal logic of clearing a level, a team of weak players cannot compete with the NPCs. Then after entering the dungeon, the weaker players should have NPCs to help them. Obviously, the patient NPC should have been in the same group with us, and Liu Hanxi should have become close to us because of some clue. But that's not the case."

“In the current copy, the clues we can find are like pieces of meat. Even if we find them completely, without the bones and tendons, we still cannot know the whole story.

Gu Shanshan is not the only one who has this strange feeling.

Qi Chanyang also nodded: "Yes. According to my experience in completing the dungeons, as the player is the weaker party, in order to prevent the gap between the two sides from being too big, the players will generally be given some support. But this dungeon doesn't seem to have that..."

As he spoke, Qi Chanyang's eyes inadvertently swept over Li Fangcheng.

In his sight, the man was still wearing orange clothes, standing aside boredly, occasionally looking into the elevator shaft.

Even in Qi Chanyang's eyes, this man looked like a monster.

But even if he is a monster, the infuriating leisurely manner in him is unstoppable.

Seemingly bored of waiting, he leaned over to the elevator entrance, broke the stick in his hand into two halves and connected them together, made one end of the stick into a hook, and used it to hook the mud on the wall.

Finally, a piece was hooked off and Jie Fangcheng picked it up with a stick.

"Eh? Isn't this Liu Hanxi's eyes?"
