The turtle man's fervent show of good will made Wen Shi's mouth twitch slightly. They were all taken to the territory of the real spirit, but they still didn't give up their persistence in trying to get some good luck. This spirit was really admirable.
Knock knock.
Before Song Yan could elaborate on the previous situation, there was a sudden knock on the door. The person who came was the president of the Seven Commandments.
Perhaps the fatal piano music will sound in the next second. The president of the Seven Commandments omitted unnecessary preparations and went straight to the point: "Killing the dean is not a trivial matter. Do you want to cooperate?"
Wen Shi was not surprised that the other party would come. The best way now was to split into two groups, one to destroy the piano, and the other to see if they could stop the transplant operation.
However, the president of the Seven Commandments has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, which can be compared to a time bomb.
Ji Yuanzhi suddenly said, "I will go with them to the dean's office to investigate and see if there are any other clues."
Each of these two matters is extremely important, and it is hard to trust others with it. Ji Yuanzhi was somewhat concerned about the musical notes painted on the wall outside the dean's office. Last night, because Li Nan got the key, everyone first explored the interior of the dean's office.
Wen Shi raised his eyebrows. It would indeed be better to have someone keep an eye on President Qi Commandments. They didn't have enough manpower and it was impossible for them to go to the dean's office and the deep area at the same time.
"Let's go," Li Nan said after Ji Yuanzhi and President Qijie and others left, "Let's go see what's in the so-called fairy tale area."
The corridor is more humid on rainy days. When going up the stairs, everyone has to pay attention to the movements around them. The dean is also in a deep area, so they have to avoid bumping into each other.
The fairy tale area is not far from the mentally retarded area, which indirectly confirms that Ao set up this area for personal service. Compared with other deep areas, only the mentally retarded area is easy to control and will not pose a threat to this newly established ward.
The commotion caused by the alarm had just stopped. I don't know if it was because the ghost world patient woke up, but the corridor was filled with unprecedented depression. The absence of the wandering dangerous patients did not bring much relief.
The fairytale area in front is very close, and the sign is not very conspicuous. It looks like a world of ice and snow, the temperature is very low, and the white mist that is different from the light covers it, confusing visual perception.
Before officially entering the area, Wen Shi suddenly whispered a few words to Yu Xingzhou. Song Yan was actively observing the surrounding environment and vaguely caught a few words. Just when he wanted to listen to what Wen Shi said in detail, everyone had entered the fairy tale area.
"The green fairy tale area is the safest fairy tale area." Song Yan narrowed his eyes and subconsciously read the words on the wall next to him.
There are not many wards, and you can only see a white door that almost blends into the wall every few meters.
"The red fairy tale area is the most dangerous one." Song Yan wondered, "Why is there only white here?"
White is always a representative color in hospitals.
Not long after, Song Yan saw the introduction to the green fairy tale area, and then the red one. In the process of alternating, Song Yan realized that they had been going in circles: "Ghost Wall?"
He first looked at Wen Shi. Even though there were two big bosses there, he still felt that Wen Shi was the backbone.
"Yeah... It's okay. We're in the fairy tale area now... Don't worry about me. You guys can explore the fifth floor first."
It was a call from Jian Qingrong, and Wen Shi actually answered the phone, chatting with the receiver.
Ghost faces appeared on the originally white wall, and Song Yan hurriedly reminded again: "Ghost wall."
The two sides made eye contact, and Wen Shi waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
Jian Qingrong had been asking about the mission. Wen Shi said a few words and then turned to ask about the situation in the fairy tale area.
Jian Qingrong told him that according to the memory feedback of the little octopus, there were not many patients in the fairy tale area and usually no one could be seen there. The little octopus once came in briefly and took a look around, but didn't find the telephone, so he went to the deep area on the adjacent north side.
Song Yan looked at Yu Xingzhou and Li Nan again, but the two of them didn't react at all.
It's a mystery! Why don't you care
On the other side, the dean's office.
Players including Ji Yuanzhi and President Qijie are studying the notes on the wall.
One player was dazzled: "Can there really be information on this?"
The one who nodded was the president of the Seven Commandments: "Musical notes are the most intuitive element that can be associated with the cursed movement."
Ji Yuanzhi himself is proficient in music, and while studying it, he also uses his omniscience skills to interpret it.
In an unnoticed corner, a shadow was cast from above, blending perfectly with the tail of the note.
Soon, a soft melody sounded.
The melody of this song is so familiar that some players subconsciously hum along in their hearts, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, my dear baby—"
With every word I sang, sleepiness swept over my brain.
In the most inconspicuous position on the beam, there was a strange puppet doll lying. It did not make any aggressive movements, but used invisible silk threads to pull individual notes on the wall, playing drowsy music.
Go to sleep.
As long as you fall asleep, you will be locked in the fairy tale area. If you don't have skills that match the fairy tale area, you will sleep forever. These players are the hope of leaving the hospital. As long as you can get the key or world fragments from the sleeping players, you will have a chance to get out of here.
The doll's face showed a realistic human expression, making the whole face look even more eerie and terrifying.
It was exactly the puppet that Tu Bianxi carried with him all year round.
After failing the team battle mission and being tricked into getting on the work bus, all of Tu Bianxi's teammates died on the bus. While he was fighting the ghosts, a line of prompts suddenly popped up in the game: "How old are you and still playing with dolls?"
The mechanical sound reminded Tu Bianxi that Pei Wenwei had once said something similar to mock him, and the anger that had just risen was suppressed by the next sentence:
"You have been diagnosed with Peter Pan Syndrome."
"It's not a recognized mental illness, it's a once popular psychological term. Fortunately, a hospital full of expired buzzwords recognizes this condition."
Tu Bianxi was then sent to Frank Hospital.
Because it was a newly established patient area, the patients in the fairy tale area were few and weak. The dean was also very generous to the area he built himself, treating these patients as watchdogs and allowing them to borrow some of the power from the music.
A small part of Tu Bianxi's will now resides in the puppet doll, and his main body is in the ward, using the ghost wall to trap Wen Shi and others. Even if the ghost wall is breached, it doesn't matter, as long as they can drag it out until the fairy tale area turns red, Pei Wenwei and others will definitely die.
The enemy is in the open, he is in the dark, and the advantage of taking the initiative is on him.
The lullaby continues.
"Tu Bianxi, are you sick?" President Qijie suddenly spoke.
The puppet was completely stunned.
After several seconds, his eyeballs, which were covered with white mist, moved. It was impossible. It was impossible for anyone to know that he was the one operating in secret.
As if he knew what the other party was thinking, the president of the Seven Commandments frowned and said, "Are you stupid? There is your information in the archives."
He and Pei Wenwei had read almost all of the information.
On the night they entered the dungeon, some players were locked up in deep areas as patients. Although they didn't know what Tu Bianxi had experienced, they were no longer surprised by this.
Without paying any attention to the puppet pretending to be mysterious, Ji Yuanzhi walked into the dean's office and searched the bookshelf. Soon he pulled out a book about music and found an excerpt from the piano score in it that matched the one on the wall outside.
The name of the song is "Office".
In the entire hospital, apart from the director's office, Pei Wenwei is the only one who has a personal office.
Is it dark under the lamp
The mechanism of this copy seems to like visual and perceptual deception. It is impossible to hide a piano in a small office unless there is a dark room.
President Qijie was secretly guessing Ji Yuanzhi's skills. It was not difficult to find the corresponding score, but it was a very complicated workload. Ji Yuanzhi was able to retrieve the information in an instant.
The most inexplicable thing is that the other party did not shy away from using this skill in public.
This inexplicable calmness made him feel creepy.
"I'll go to the office to look for the piano." Ji Yuanzhi interrupted the thoughts of the Seven Commandments President. While speaking, he glanced at Hengliang, indicating that the latter would take over the task of cleaning up the garbage.
The president of the Seven Commandments looked towards the dark corner on the beam, ready to throw it directly into the deeper and more powerful area.
·
Tu Bianxi himself did not know that the puppet was about to be thrown into the dangerous patient area. The dean's office was in a separate hidden map, and he had no way to sense the puppet's status through any possessed will.
After his strength increased significantly, Tu Bianxi's condition improved. He hid in the ward and operated remotely, thinking that he was well disguised. Five minutes later, the ghost wall was forcibly breached, but Tu Bianxi was still calculating the time without panic.
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, but instead of moving forward, the footsteps stopped at the door.
There were few patients in the fairytale area, all of them were single rooms, so it was impossible for a fellow patient to come. The ghost wall had just been destroyed, so it was obvious who had come.
“He probably won’t come in…” From any perspective, barging into a patient’s room recklessly is a very dangerous act.
But he was still uneasy, so he got out of bed and locked the door.
At almost the same time, the sound of someone pressing the doorknob was heard from outside.
"These crazy people." Tu Bianxi cursed inwardly, and was glad that the room was locked quickly. He didn't hear them go to other wards before.
boom!
The door panel trembled heavily, and the person outside chose to break in violently.
The door of the ward was kicked open, and Wen Shi and Tu Bianxi's eyes met.
In disguise, Tu Bianxi quickly calmed down and wanted to see what tricks this man was going to play.
At this moment, Song Yan poked his head out from behind, pointed at his nose and said, "This face is fake."
No one can see through falsehood and truth better than a mirror.
Even through the disguise props, one could feel Tu Bianxi's expression change.
Wen Shi walked in quickly without any preparation, his expression was as excited and enthusiastic as when he first saw No. 233: "It's great to meet an old friend in a foreign land, Xiao Tu, I can recognize you even if you turned into ashes."
As he spoke, he quickly placed an order for a lie detector item from the game store. "Time is limited, so we won't chat about the past today. Tell us what you know."
“…” These words made Tu Bianxi completely stunned.
He didn't even bother to find out how the other party discovered him. All his current situation was thanks to Pei Wenwei, and he wished he could eat his flesh, so how could he possibly reveal any clues
"It seems that you are not going to tell me anymore." The smile on Wen Shi's face gradually disappeared: "The Puppet Guild wanted to attack and torture me in the hotel to extract information. The means of torture are very despicable, but sometimes they are very useful."
After confirming that his identity was exposed, Tu Bianxi stopped pretending and just looked at him coldly. The game did not completely erase his identity as a player, and killing each other would be a way to his own death.
Ghost walls and puppets perfectly walk in the gray area and will not be judged as malicious injury, but the same cannot be said for torture.
Wen Shi was not good at torturing people, so he turned his head and looked at Yu Xingzhou.
Yu Xingzhou: “…”
Why don’t you go to see Li Nan
Li Nan took the initiative to speak, with no expression on his face: "There are no treatment rules in the fairy tale area."
As a newly established district, it is not perfect in all aspects.
"We have doctors and nurses among us, so there will be no problem treating him according to our professional settings." Li Nan said with reason: "There are many treatment rooms in the deep area, and we just need to put the patient in and start the equipment."
"… The fairytale area is glowing red now." Li Nan looked back at the corridor behind him, where the floor lamps were flickering with a faint scarlet light. "Red represents danger. If you continue to delay, we will retreat and send you to experience the full treatment package."
When it comes to grasping people's hearts, we still have to look to the old players.
Without waiting for Tu Bianxi to analyze Li Nan's words in detail, Yu Xingzhou took over the conversation: "Generally speaking, a red light means that surgery is in progress, and a green light means it is over. The red fairy tale area is the most dangerous fairy tale area, which means that the entire area will become very dangerous during the operation. I need to know how dangerous it is."
If the director wants to do a transplant, he must find a place to perform the operation. The fairy tale area founded by him is the most suitable place, so it is easy to distinguish what red and green represent.
Under the suffocating feeling of oppression, Tu Bianxi tried to negotiate the terms, but as soon as he raised his head, his pupils suddenly shrank.
A sharp, stabbing pain spread through his brain, which meant that something had happened to his puppet doll.
He changed his mind and proposed a condition: "You have to promise to take me out of the dungeon alive."
Yu Xingzhou did not respond, his eyes focused on the floor lamp that was gradually turning red.
Tu Bianxi quickly thought about how to negotiate the terms.
If someone plays the good cop, someone else will play the bad cop. Wen Shi seized the opportunity and started to play the good guy: "My main task is to inherit the hospital."
Tu Bianxi's first reaction was just ridiculous.
"As the trigger of the dungeon, it's not surprising that you have a special main quest." Wen Shi said calmly, "I can guarantee this with a lie detector. Once I successfully inherit the hospital, I will let you go immediately."
He tried his best to show the value of his life so that he could easily pry out more complete information.
Sure enough, Tu Bianxi felt a little tempted.
Lie detectors won't lie, Pei Wenwei said so, and this main quest is most likely real.
"There is no time to finalize more detailed terms now." Wen Shi took out the contract prop, which only had the clause he just mentioned about releasing the person.
Tu Bianxi gritted his teeth and said, "At least add one more thing. During this period, you are not allowed to attack me intentionally."
Wen Shi smiled: "Of course."
The premise is that someone doesn't commit suicide.
Tu Bianxi finally signed the contract.
"All surgeries in the hospital will be performed in the Fairy Tale Area. There will be at least ten nurses present for each operation. Sometimes more nurses will come in during the operation. No matter what you want to do, it will not succeed."
Tu Bianxi paused and said, "The color of ordinary operating floor lights is orange-red. This color tonight must mean that the hospital staff are going to perform surgery, and the protective measures during the period will be more stringent."
The three of them looked at each other.
Li Nan's tone was slightly lowered: "Try it first."
No matter how difficult it is, they have to give it a try. With money as the way, they can get out of it safely even if they fail.
Song Yan suddenly said, "There are many things with mirrors in the operating room. I can also turn into a small mirror and hide in the operating light. During the operation, any NPC who sees me will easily lose focus."
Wen Shi immediately rejected his proposal: "If a fight breaks out, you might get hurt by mistake."
If the mirror is shattered too badly, Song Yan might disappear.
Song Yan wanted to say something, but Wen Shi shook his head directly: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Don't be too extreme in everything."
Yu Xingzhou, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and thought that Pei Wenwei could be considered a good teacher when it came to dealing with people and things.
Wen Shi asked Tu Bianxi to lead them to the operating room to investigate the environment. On the way, he said to Song Yan, "I have a friend who used to be several times more extreme than you. He spent all day planning how to become a ghost after his death. But under my influence, he now has full self-control."
“… You should also learn from him and cherish and take care of your body, understand?”
Song Yan nodded heavily.
·
Five floors.
After Jian Qingrong finished talking to Wen Shi, he kept staring at the red receiver.
To be exact, he was staring at his hands.
Of all the things Wen Shi told him about the mission, he only remembered one sentence: The dean needs a hand transplant.
In the darkness, Jian Qingrong's mouth slowly pulled into a creepy smile.
If the other party transplants a hand with a contamination source, he can achieve a certain degree of remote control.
At critical moments, that hand will dance wildly on the piano.
After a while, Jian Qingrong withdrew his gaze and fell into another thought: Will Wen Shi be angry if I do this
I quickly rejected this idea, Wen Shi would understand.
With his own recovery ability, he could regenerate his severed limbs within a week. It was worth it to save the life of the dean who was about to start a massive killing spree.
When it is time to cut off, cut off.
What's more, Wen Shi has the same style of doing things. He often relies on his ability to resurrect and dies again and again, even when they first met.
"In this matter, you are my best teacher." Jian Qingrong murmured to himself.
