It was something Jenkins did not expect to learn the truth about the town so easily. But he didn't want to know what was going on here, so he just had a brief conversation with the ghost, without getting into the topic of the town's truth, and set off with anxiety in his heart.
Unlike the maze-like shadow castle not long ago, the hospital in the town was only built in the shape of an ordinary hospital, so as long as you find the stairs, you can directly reach the third floor.
But the journey was not smooth, and the ghost nurse hadn't left that hall for a long time, so I don't know if there are other monsters occupying the corridors and stairs. Before Jenkins set off, she also worriedly reminded Jenkins that if he accidentally died, he must ensure the integrity of his soul:
"You can also live here. I have been here alone for a long time. If you are willing to live on the first floor of the hospital, I can help you find a good place."
She must have been alone for a long time.
The corridors on the first floor were covered with dry dust, and there was a horrible smell of corpses in the air. Jenkins proceeded carefully with his own candle, and every time he passed a door, he had to observe carefully before he dared to pass. But fortunately, there is no need to throw dice to move forward in the hospital, so the speed of progress is much faster than that from the outside.
The first trouble I encountered was shortly after departure, in the crooked corridor, a mummy standing in the middle of the corridor blocked the way. It should be classified as an undead creature, jumping up in place without any reason.
Jenkins wanted to stick to the wall and go around it, but he didn't expect that the mummy stopped jumping as soon as he got close, and looked at Jenkins instead:
"Do you know what the meaning of life is?"
Jenkins hesitated for a moment, not mentioning the fact that the mummy has reason to speak. It is very abnormal for a corpse to ask him the meaning of life as a living person.
"I'm going to tell Alexia later."
Thinking in his heart, he opened his mouth and answered:
"The meaning of life is warm blood."
Encountering this problem elsewhere, Jenkins would talk a few words of philosophy, but in this strange situation, the answer is obviously the only one.
"So it's warm blood, that's why I can't find the meaning of life..."
The mummy said with his head down, while Jenkins was nervously preparing to fight. He thought the other party would say something like "I want your blood", but the mummy didn't. Instead, he lowered his head and didn't move.
So he stared at the opponent to prevent a sudden fight, while walking against the dirty wall. When the two were level in the corridor, the mummy finally spoke again:
"Will I still find the meaning of life?"
"It's hard to say, but why don't you look outside the hospital? Just staying here won't yield any results. You can go to the nearby blacksmith shop and ask. The blacksmith seems to be a very wise man."
He kindly suggested.
"this is a good idea."
The mummy was about to walk, but as soon as it shook, its left arm fell to the ground. Both the corpse and the person stared at the withered arm, and no one spoke. It took a long time for the corpse to ask:
"Am I already dead?"
Generally speaking, the answer to this question will lead to whether to start fighting next. Jenkins didn't know how to choose, so he nodded based on the principle of not lying.
After getting the answer, the mummy let out a long sigh, stood still for a few seconds and then fell to the floor, stirring up a cloud of dust. It was motionless, completely lost its mobility, and completely turned into a real corpse. In a sense, the mummy who just spoke is dead.
"What do you really mean? Crazy."
Jenkins said in his heart, and then carefully tiptoed past the corpse, without even searching for any valuable relics left by the other party.
The hospital is indeed full of dangers. Apart from the mummy blocking the way, occasionally some creatures that are difficult to name according to their images will come out of the rooms on both sides of the corridor. A few of them were not interested in Jenkins, but most of them charged Jenkins.
Their strength is not particularly strong, and ordinary gifters above level 5 can deal with them. But each monster has a unique ability, and they are all related to blood. Their blood-colored bodies were severely mutated, and when manipulating the blood, it could even affect Jenkins himself.
The aftereffects of Jenkins injecting too much blood in the town have already appeared. In this case, once he directly encounters the metal scarlet mayfly, his body may be directly alienated.
Monsters blocked the way on the first floor, and the stairs leading to the upper floor were directly broken. With Jenkins' physical fitness, it is no problem to climb up directly, but the problem lies in the break of the stairs on the first and second floors, which is connected with a layer of reddish-brown creep. This layer of creep is not afraid of fire, and can digest any flesh and blood that touches it.
Jenkins didn't dare to take risks, so he could only continue walking along the corridor on the first floor before finding the stairs on the other side of the hospital. As soon as he came to the second floor from the stairs, he felt the cold wind coming from the depths of the corridor. Jenkins had been exposed to the power of ice and snow. At this moment, he could feel that there was definitely a creature that was extremely good at manipulating the power of ice living on the second floor.
Fortunately, his goal was not the second floor, so he continued to climb up the stairs, and finally came to the darker third floor.
The first floor of the hospital is the area for blood monsters, the second floor is cold and frozen, and the third floor is completely dark. Even the gifted candles, which are fused with a large number of special items, are suppressed by the darkness, and the dark vision is completely useless here.
The ghost nurse said that the monsters that took up the entire third floor were also part of the suppressed creatures in the town itself. It originally lived in an empty house on the edge of the town. After the town hospital was abandoned, it fled to the hospital and occupied the place.
The Ghost Nurse doesn't have much information about it, and it didn't do any damage when it came to the hospital. But occupying the third floor of the hospital itself hinders many functions of the hospital. Originally, even if the hospital was abandoned, it could occasionally perform blood therapy once or twice, or provide certain convenience for foreigners. But now the third floor is completely unusable, and the ghost nurse can't take out any of the conveniences that are beneficial to Jenkins. She didn't even take out the trading cardboard when Jenkins entered the hospital.
"What could it be?"
Thinking in my heart, I walked forward step by step against the wall holding a candle, and my spirit was extremely tense.
Suddenly, a huge eyeball appeared on the ceiling in front of him, and the pupil reflected the light of the candle, allowing Jenkins to clearly see himself in the other's eyes.
