The last game
This sentence seems to be a double entendre, as if saying that all dangers will end at this point, and as if implying that he will die in the final game.
Wen Shi was still carrying a curse, and there were less than forty-eight hours left. If he completed two tasks at the same time, he might not be able to make it in time.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Is this game related to the curse of the fifth floor?"
No. 51 answered every question, nodded, and repeated his previous words.
Just like what Patient 233 said, Patient 51 was relatively easy to deal with. It was his nature, not a disguise. Wen Shi's nerves were always on edge, and the more so, the harder it was to deal with him. Ao was easier to deal with.
When you meet an honest NPC, the best way is to speak frankly. Wen Shi asked bluntly: "Do you think my survival rate is high?"
"Very high," said No. 51. "If you want, the survival rate is almost 100 percent."
Wen Shi smiled: "That's good, I have the desire to survive."
No. 51 also smiled and asked back: "Really?"
"Seeing is believing." Wen Shi was still confident: "How do we play?"
No. 51 got out of bed and put on his slippers. He released the shadow that had just led him and continued, "The patients in the Rift Zone all have different degrees of splitting abilities, just like my body and soul can be separated at will. Isn't it interesting?"
Wen Shi nodded in support.
I thought to myself that compared to the Lord of Terror, you are just like Tu Bianxi's toy doll.
"In this little game, you will be in the same state."
"?" The last time I heard such an explosive request was in the mermaid copy, where I was asked to act like a stone that cracked on the spot.
When No. 51 roughly explained the rules, the system prompt sounded.
The mechanical sound is as cool and steady as usual, but it feels a little different.
[Inherited Task: Doctor-Patient Relationship
Mission content: At midnight, your body will go to a special place, but your soul will remain in the hospital.
The most important thing between doctors and patients is trust. Hospitals are dangerous. Please choose a patient you trust and let him keep your soul for you.
Remember! Don't let Patient 51 find your soul hiding place, he will destroy your soul!
Note: 1. You can attach the soul to an object to make it easier for the patient to keep;
2. If Patient 51 fails to destroy your soul before midnight tomorrow night, you will be deemed the winner;
3. If your body can successfully return to the hospital before Patient 51 kills you, you will be considered the winner.
[Please arrive at the fifth floor of the hospital before midnight.]
[Please decide on the soul keeper within one hour. The soul binding rope has been sent to the backpack. ]
[Soul Binding Rope: After use, it can help you attach the soul to a designated object.]
No. 51: "I love playing hide-and-seek. After midnight, I will walk out of the ward, find your soul and destroy it."
"Be sure to hide it well." He reminded with a gentle smile.
There was a dark light surging in Wen Shi's eyes. Without a soul, only an empty shell was left. What was the difference between him and a dead person
In a sense, this is similar to the curse on the fifth floor, both of which make people become rigid and solidified.
It was only a few hours away from midnight, and since the task reminder had already been sent, Wen Shi didn't want to delay any longer and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, No. 51's voice came from behind again: "There is no poison in the last meal of the death row inmates. It is always extraordinarily rich and delicious."
Wen Shi paused and walked out without looking back.
No. 51 was almost saying that the task was not difficult, and even hinted that he enjoyed the process and there was no need to be nervous.
The floor lights in the corridor dimmed again.
Li Nan stood by the door with his arms folded, leaning against the wall, his long legs conspicuous. He heard everything that was said in the ward clearly, but only the task reminder could be received by the person himself, so Li Nan was not clear about Wen Shi's specific task.
Although there were no other players around, Wenshi still used anti-eavesdropping props as he walked forward for the sake of caution, and took the initiative to explain the subsequent tasks.
He wanted to hear Li Nan's opinion.
About half a minute later, Li Nan said, "The important thing is the hiding process."
"The mission says that your body will go somewhere else. It may not be easy to come back. Based on the patient's analysis, it is likely to involve the traditional human nature test of the game." Li Nan said slowly: "This uncertainty is too high. Don't consider it before the mission begins. The most urgent task is to find a suitable soul custodian. As long as we survive until midnight tomorrow night, the mission can be successfully completed."
Wen Shi nodded, thinking the same thing as he did.
"It is stipulated that you must find a patient to keep your soul. There are three ways to do this. One is to let a familiar player transfer to a patient and sign a contract, so you don't have to worry about being deliberately betrayed. The other is to find a patient in the deep area who can compete with No. 51. In this way, even if the other party finds out who your soul is with, they may not be able to snatch it and destroy it. This is a bit difficult, but you can settle for the next best thing..."
Wen Shi knew he was referring to Jian Qingrong.
"The last way is to transfer the patient yourself and try to exploit the bug, but you probably won't do that."
Changing to a patient position means losing one's identity as a doctor. It is hard to say whether one can easily switch back, after all, it is the only official position.
Wen Shi would not take risks with his inheritance rights. He raised his head and let out a light breath. For nearly ten minutes, Wen Shi barely moved like a statue. Only the slightly rising and falling chest proved that he was still breathing.
When he looked forward again, he whispered, "I will win."
Li Nan raised an eyebrow.
Wen Shi didn't know what he was thinking, and said inexplicably: "No. 233 said that No. 51 is the softest of all the patients in the ghost world."
Li Nan laughed: "He doesn't look like a kind person at all."
It can only be said that the reference is already the lowest level in the industry.
"That's enough." Wen Shi stretched his slightly stiff body and said, "I'm going to do some preparations and take care of some trivial matters."
However, one thing is certain, unlike other players who were relieved at the sight of light, Pei Wenwei must be feeling very heavy at the moment, as if even breathing was tiring.
"Jian Qingrong—" The next second, along with the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, was the sound of Wen Shi gritting his teeth. He rolled up his sleeves as he walked: "Come out and get spanked, you swindlers!"
Li Nan: “…”
He underestimated Pei Wenwei's vitality.
In the darkness, Wen Shi, who was walking with big strides, bumped into Jian Qingrong's shoulder.
When Jian Qingrong was called by his full name just now, his face changed completely. His first reaction was to put the blame on the little octopus, saying it was its idea. Anyway, now that everyone is united in will, it can't be considered as malicious evasion.
But when he heard the last few words, Jian Qingrong's attitude changed, and he stood at attention as if he was ready to be beaten.
"Hiss..." Wen Shi rubbed his forehead. He thought the other party would at least give way. But when Jian Qingrong saw him coming, he did not retreat out of guilt, but took the initiative to move forward two steps.
When they collided, the originally aggressive Wen Shi felt the muscles under the fabric trembling slightly. It didn't seem like fear, but more like hidden expectation. His whole temple jumped.
I almost forgot, this is a king whose favorability can increase just by watching me pick my chin with a sword.
"Don't be angry, we will settle the score later." Wen Shi took a few deep breaths and decided to focus on business first: "I have to go find the host and the others. I have other things to do tonight. If I am not back before 6 pm tomorrow, please help me kill Ao."
The task of killing the dean could not be neglected, so he arranged the work in an orderly manner.
"I need you to do me one more favor." Wen Shi pulled Jian Qingrong's clothes slightly. When the latter lowered his head, he whispered a few words in his ear: "It may be a little difficult, but..."
For fear that the patient might eavesdrop on the most important part through other means, every note was spoken very softly.
As he spoke one sentence after another, the hot air brushed against his skin, and Jian Qingrong felt a slight tremor from head to toe: "It's not difficult, I will take care of it."
His assurance brought a rare sense of peace of mind.
After Wen Shi made some other arrangements, he selected the soul custodian before the countdown ended. At the same time, he opened his backpack and prepared to use the task props issued by the game.
"Do you want to use the [Soul Binding Rope]?"
"yes."
"Please choose a soul carrier."
After Wen Shi made his choice, his brain seemed to be emptied for a moment, which made him look a little confused.
But soon, this feeling dissipated, as if nothing had happened, and his mind could function normally as usual, without any uncomfortable feeling as if his soul was being pulled out.
Jian Qingrong: "Are you okay?"
Wen Shi: "Anyway, the brain stem is not missing." That's enough.
"… "
It's almost midnight.
There are patients running around everywhere now, and Jian Qingrong has basically no restrictions on his activities. In order to cooperate with Wen Shi's plan, he ran to other places at around eleven o'clock.
Wen Shi leaned against the wall alone, wondering where he would be taken later.
Is there some secret room or hidden map on this floor
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his back. Wen Shi stood up with a start and quickly took out the lantern.
Something was slowly coming out of the dense cracks in the wall behind him. Wen Shi took a step back subconsciously, and for a moment he thought of the scarlet nematodes in the operating light. When he looked carefully, he found that it was actually thin and dry straw.
In each crack, the straw seemed to have been squeezed out in bunches from a meat grinder. In the limited light of the lantern, they piled up and mixed together, finally forming the shape of a straw demon.
Wen Shi was stunned.
Frank Hospital was built in the past, and the scarecrow demon has the ability to look back, so it doesn't seem surprising that he appears here. But the traditional ability of the scarecrow demon is only to send people to the most painful time period and lure the target to offer their souls, and he no longer meets these two conditions.
The Golden City has experienced a bug with the scarecrow once, and the game won’t give it a chance to do it again.
It is unclear what this straw demon can do, but the only thing Wen Shi can be sure of is that every time it appears, it involves emotions and human choices.
Without any regret, Wen Shi stared at the devil, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation on the corner of his mouth.
He picked out a phrase that these monsters could understand, an old popular phrase from ten years ago, and said, "In Blowing Sting."
·
downstairs.
Li Nan, Yu Xingzhou and Song Yan were staying in a ruined office.
Li Nan patiently repeated Wen Shi's task.
"From what No. 51 said, Pei Wenwei will face a difficult choice."
Song Yan was stunned for three seconds after hearing this, and kept pacing in the office: "It's over, it's over..."
Li Nan: "Don't worry too much."
"No, I mean that No. 51 is finished." Song Yan took a deep breath: "You don't understand, my king never makes choices, No. 51 will be played to death."
"… "
