I don’t know if it’s because of the extra group of ghosts, but the elevator is sinking abnormally slowly.
Wen Shi was still thinking about the videotape. There was no doubt that this mission was used to trick the players, but it must also contain a wealth of information. Putting aside the horror factor, the staff of the sanatorium admitted that the videotape was precious research material.
Why do we need to specifically record the causes of death of employees in large factories
Wen Shi looked at the ghosts around him calmly.
Most of them have entities, such as the female ghost in red, the knocking ghost, the hanged ghost, etc., and only a few have no entities.
The elevator is very small, but the monsters around the red-clothed female ghost will automatically keep a short distance from her. The two ghosts that were kicked down earlier did not dare to resist, which shows that the red-clothed female ghost is the strongest among all the ghosts.
Feeling the special attention, the female ghost in red twisted her neck 180 degrees and looked over.
One of her eye sockets was empty, leaving only a hole. Whether she was looking at a person or a ghost, anyone she stared at would turn away unconsciously. However, Wen Shi did not do that, instead, he smiled back in a friendly manner.
Seeing such a genuine smile, the female ghost in red couldn't help but be stunned.
"You are the best female ghost I have ever seen." Wen Shi said.
The Blood Bride cursed all female NPCs who were prettier than her to be extremely disgusted with Wen Shi. So far, only the female ghost in red was willing to look at her more.
Thinking of this, Wen Shi was even more moved, and he almost made a heart shape with his cat's tail.
[Hint: The ghost girl A Ling's favorability towards you is 5. ]
Wen Shi determined from the reaction of the red-clothed female ghost that she, like the old man ghost, had reason after death. There were also knocking ghosts, but not many. After coming up, they just kept knocking on the elevator door. The few ghosts floating around had no logic at all, and they kept muttering, "Eat meat, eat meat."
Wen Shi was already starving, and when he heard them yelling, he felt like his stomach was about to cramp.
The elevator stopped on the second floor and reacted slowly. After it stopped, the door did not open immediately. The knocking ghost impatiently made a "dong dong dong" noise.
Wen Shi's ears moved, keenly catching the sound outside. When the door finally showed signs of opening, he did not move forward, but backed away. A strong fishy wind blew in. In a sanatorium with a complete air filtration system, once this smell was released, it meant something was wrong.
Wen Shi once again felt the difference in his body after its transformation. In the past, he should have felt nauseous when he smelled this smell, but now, it further stimulated his appetite.
A sanatorium employee fell in along with the fishy wind.
He thought he would fall heavily to the ground, but the expected pain did not come, and he found that he could not fall down at all.
Looking back, he saw a monster in an elevator behind him. The monster that had been chasing him turned around and ran away after seeing the full elevator.
"Help..." The sanatorium employee struggled desperately to get out, but was strangled by the upside-down female ghost in red. The monsters around him couldn't wait to pounce on his body and bite him madly.
"Excuse me, excuse me." Wen Shi panted and struggled to squeeze out of the elevator.
He had no intention of helping. First, he had no ability to stop the monster from eating, and second, the staff of the sanatorium were not good people. The screams behind him soon stopped, and only a pile of bones of the staff were left.
The elevator was almost in the middle of areas A and B. The sign for area B had fallen to the ground, and it was covered in sticky blood and flesh, and it was unclear whether it came from an employee or a monster.
The long and narrow corridor was in chaos. Not far away, the staff of the sanatorium were holding electric batons, catching the "Pure Heart Beasts" that had been released.
"It seems that the gatekeeper ghost was successful."
Break your hair when it is warm and buy paper money to burn.
The worship mission required that it be done before 3 a.m., and it was already past that time now. Wen Shi was not sure if he could still contact the gatekeeper ghost in this way.
Physical examination area.
Since separating from Wen Shi, the player's experience has been full of twists and turns.
Before entering the elevator shaft, Ji Yuanzhi was cautious and waited until the cooldown period of the first invisibility item was over before leading everyone to climb down. When they reached the end of the abyss and found a button on the wall, Ji Yuanzhi emphasized that for safety reasons, they should use the invisibility item first.
This was an extremely wise decision. The moment the secret door opened, it faced directly into the sanatorium.
There happened to be a riot upstairs, and all the employees rushed to support. For the sake of exploration, the player also followed up.
Until the invisibility item expired, they were forced to join the fight.
"The gatekeeper ghost is also here."
Ji Yuanzhi's glasses are very special and can see ghosts. When he discovered that the doorman was a ghost, he knew that the riot was related to someone.
Chaos, fighting, howling... the sounds of electric batons hitting rotting bodies and teeth biting flesh were intertwined, and even Lu Tang, the most capable fighter, wished he had three heads and six arms to deal with it.
"What's going on?" After Lu Tang repelled a monster, he wiped the blood splattered on his face.
Ghosts have no humanity. The gatekeeper ghost was originally planning to implement the abduction plan, tricking these people to the third floor to attract the ghost's attention and replace Wen Shi. But he suddenly smelled the smell of paper money, and his excited voice rang out: "The master's brother is calling me! He's coming, he's coming!"
He is still alive!
The guard ghost closed his eyes and felt that the two sides were very close, so there was no need to even go over to them.
Lu Tang, who was fighting a monster with no way out, felt relieved. He didn't know since when, Pei Wenwei's presence seemed to give people a sense of security.
The Liu sisters who were saved by Wen Shi had the same feeling.
Zhou Xiaochun and Zhang Suihe smiled at each other: "Although Pei Wenwei is ruthless, he can always escape the game routine and make the right judgment."
When they all looked up, at the other end of the corridor, Doctor Cat was still firmly in the center. Dozens of ghosts surrounded Wen Shi, among which the female ghost in red was the most ferocious. Her long black hair and endless brain matter extended all the way along the ground, devouring the monsters along the way with extreme ferocity.
Wen Shi's condition was obviously not normal. There was a bell on his neck. When he saw the shattered monster remains on the ground, he had a strange, greedy expression on his face.
As if sensing something, Wen Shi raised his eyelids and locked eyes with all the players, his mandarin duck eyes flashing with an icy cold color in a blood-red glow.
You look... delicious.
He suppressed the urge to eat, but couldn't help licking his lower lips.
Adjust your breathing, regain your normal expression, and wave your arms enthusiastically again... My friends, here I come!
The excitement in the players' eyes was gone. Wen Shi advanced and they retreated. They almost shouted in unison, "retreat, retreat, retreat!"
The taste of living people is always the most delicious, and some ghosts are already uncontrollably rushing towards the players.
Wen Shi immediately looked at the red-clothed female ghost with a pair of cat pupils. The latter used her brain to wrap the two evil ghosts in the front. In an instant, the evil ghosts seemed to be poured with sulfuric acid, and they quickly melted and merged with the brain.
Due to the intimidation of the red-clothed female ghost, the other ghosts no longer dared to act rashly. The red-clothed female ghost turned her neck and looked at Wen Shi: "You eat."
Obviously, he thought Wen Shi's eager look just now was for food.
Wen Shi forced a smile: "I like to stock up on food."
The red-clothed female ghost didn’t really care about Wen Shi, it was just that she hadn’t been out for a long time, and she finally met a sweet-talker like him, so she just took care of him a little.
There were many employees of the sanatorium in the physical examination area. She hated these people very much. Her black hair entangled several moving targets, and the red-clothed female ghost floated over and began to feast on them.
"Where are the residents on the fourth floor?" Seeing the female ghost in red going to prepare dinner, Wen Shi immediately asked the gatekeeper ghost.
"We released them as you said. As for how many of them can escape alive, it depends on their luck."
Wen Shi’s previous behavior of blocking the ghost gave his teammates a reassurance, proving that he had not turned into a monster.
Zhou Xiaochun asked nervously, "What are these ghosts doing?"
"They were brought here for the videotape mission." Wen Shi checked the time and said, "It is estimated that they will disappear in ten minutes."
Thanks to the red-clothed female ghost, the surrounding monsters were avoiding the area where they were.
"Doctor Aaron."
A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Wen Shi turned his head suddenly, and the door of the CT room slowly opened, and the escort walked out: "I didn't expect you to finish reading our research materials in recent years so quickly."
The escort broke the neck of a monster that rushed towards him. It was so powerful that it was beyond imagination. He didn't even look at the dead monster's body, nor did he look at Ji Yuanzhi and others. He showed a professional smile to Wen Shi: "Doctor Aaron, please let me take you to the archive room for a tour."
Wen Shi looked at the chaotic fighting around him and asked tentatively: "Don't you care about this place?"
"It's just a minor accident. Security personnel will be here soon to calm it down."
Wen Shi lowered his eyes and said nothing. He had no way to refuse, so he could only follow him quietly.
The monster did not attack the people in the alienated state. After the escort personnel easily killed some creatures that blocked the way, it gave up attacking the escort personnel.
The two of them were like air, wandering in the jungle of wild beasts until they disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Not long after they left, a group of well-trained personnel with more powerful equipment appeared and quickly took control of the situation.
One of the groups of people walked up to Ji Yuanzhi and others.
Ji Yuanzhi took the initiative and said, "We are here to donate blood."
He had seen on the bulletin board that large factories often called on employees to donate blood.
The security captain did not even bother to delve into this flawed story and instead used a pager to call a professional medical worker.
Three
Without waiting for the players to be surprised, the medical staff directly pointed out three people, namely Ji Yuanzhi, Liu Yuan and Liu Yun.
"According to the blood donation requirements, we need to take samples from you first to do a contamination source test."
At the same time, Ji Yuanzhi and three others received a prompt tone.
[Side Quest: Donate Blood
Mission Reward: See the monster. After completing the mission, the exploration level of the sanatorium will increase to 50%.]
Ji Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and speculated that the exploration degree between team members could be accumulated, and this exploration degree should include Pei Wenwei's part.
Donate blood? See a monster
Liu Yuan couldn't help but turn pale.
Ji Yuanzhi saw her panic and said coldly: "You are lucky enough."
Zhou Xiaochun and others who did not receive the mission will be even worse off. And Pei Wenwei is the most unlucky one. Not only did he bring out a bunch of ghosts in the first mission, but now he has to face everything alone.
There is a tragic control group, so at least we should know how to be content.
The security captain glanced at the remaining three players and said, "They broke into the physical examination area without permission. It just so happens that a lot of Pure Heart Beasts escaped. They will make up for it."
Zhou Xiaochun and others were taken to the breeding farm.
In the breeding garden, each person was immersed in a glass tank with tubes inserted all over their body. The glass tank could not be opened from the inside. After the players were locked in, their hands and feet were locked with iron chains and unknown liquid was injected into their bodies.
Zhang Suihe did not think about why the blood donation task was not triggered, but focused on the present: "We can live for less than two hours at most."
The hearts they processed on their first day at work came from the Heart-Purifying Beast. After dawn, someone would definitely come to dig out their hearts.
The purity of his mind was constantly decreasing, and Zhou Xiaochun, who was always nervous, was calmer than ever before.
He was ready to activate the [Divination] skill to help his teammates complete the task as quickly as possible so that he could also survive.
The principle of divination is: predict small things, not big things. The bigger the event, the stronger the backlash, and often in order to avoid this outcome, bad judgments are made in the process. But this time is an exception, and he had to make an exception.
The copper coin automatically flew down from his neck, scratching his palm and leaving a few words that others could not see clearly.
After a while, Zhou Xiaochun reluctantly raised one hand and took out his cell phone.
The glass tank is soundproof. Lu Tang touched the tank wall with the knife at his waist, making a sound, reminding him to be careful about triggering the rules.
The sanatorium is hidden so deeply, it must attach great importance to confidentiality.
Zhou Xiaochun was bleeding from all seven orifices, and he had something in mind. He was just delivering messages related to the mission, which should be within controllable range.
On the other side, after entering the blood collection area, Ji Yuanzhi, Liu Yuan and Liu Yun were forced to go to the air shower room for disinfection first. When they heard the phone ringing, they answered it.
"Twelve rules of death... related to water, suction cup... survival time, seven minutes." Zhou Xiaochun told him the clues obtained from divination.
Ji Yuanzhi heard the sound of a door opening, followed by footsteps, as if someone was approaching Zhou Xiaochun, and immediately asked, "Where's Pei Wenwei?"
Zhou Xiaochun spoke weakly and feebly: "Choice."
The two words were very vague. Ji Yuanzhi thought that his physical condition was too poor and his consciousness was confused, so he asked specifically: "What about the rules of death and the length of survival?"
"No, only choice." Zhou Xiaochun: "His keyword is humanity."
"… "
Ji Yuanzhi fell silent.
Zhou Xiaochun knew how the other person felt at the moment. Before the staff confiscated his phone, he cursed with all his strength: "What a fucking life!"
While everyone was taking exams in math, physics and chemistry, one person was taking an exam on ideology and morality.
Is there any justice?!
·
Third floor.
Back on the third floor, someone walked into the data room carrying a large box containing a bunch of videotapes. The escort took the initiative to explain: "Over time, the videotapes will get damp and moldy, so these were taken away for repair."
The archive room is some distance away from the data room, and there are only these two rooms on the third floor.
The escorts once again took him to the door without any intention of entering.
"Here is information about the employees. You can pick the ones you are interested in."
Wen Shi asked: "Is your information also in there?"
The escort nodded.
"You must be curious about the difference between us and the Purifying Beasts." The escort said, "In fact, we are more advanced. The staff of the sanatorium have antibodies in their bodies, which allow them to coexist with the pollution source and will not lose their minds and attack people."
This is similar to Wen Shi in the alienated state, but Wen Shi can only live for seven days. The sanatorium staff are obviously not like this. They have stronger strength than monsters and longer lifespans.
The escort took out a syringe from his pocket and said, "You can learn more from the archives."
Wen Shi vaguely guessed what he was going to do. There was a line of words posted outside the archive room: No entry for unauthorized persons. Disclosure of any archival secrets is strictly prohibited.
"The archives room is a confidential area second only to the dean's office. Although you have signed a confidentiality agreement, the letter of commitment is only generally binding. We still need to do a double recording."
The escort turned on the recorder and asked Wen Shi to stand facing the surveillance camera: "Please cooperate."
He took a step forward and prepared to give Wen Shi an injection.
The gatekeeper ghost wanted to stop it but was blocked by an unknown force. The same went for Wen Shi himself. After confirming that this was a necessary part of the game, he simply gave up resisting.
If I'm not mistaken, the drug that's about to be injected into the body is the truth serum that was injected during the interview on the first day.
The familiar feeling of consciousness being pulled away came over him, and Wen Shi's eyes gradually became unfocused.
The escort played with the syringe in his hand and asked in a gloomy voice: "Doctor Aaron, will you report everything about the sanatorium to the main hospital?"
While questioning, he had already decided to kill the doctor. This doctor was the one sent by the main hospital to inspect. How could he not report
A few years ago, some changes happened in the sanatorium, and they have been trying to break away from the control of the main hospital.
"No," Doctor Cat raised his tail and asked unconsciously, "Why should I report it?"
The escort officer said viciously: "Of course it's because you are a lackey of Frank Hospital and you are loyal to them!"
Wen Shi was indifferent.
The escort realized that he was too excited and slowed down his tone: "Did the headquarters find out something was wrong with the sanatorium and send you here?"
Wen Shi shook his head.
The escort felt a little relieved: "Then why did you come?"
Wen Shi subconsciously wanted to say that the game sent him here, but the words involved made him unable to speak.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the murderous intent in the escort's eyes grew wildly: "What are you going to do next? Write a report, steal files, or leak research data?"
Wen Shi raised his head slightly, and murmured seriously: "First settle down, then mobilize more branches to surround the main hospital, and finally kill the top leaders, and I will be the dean."
"?"
As early as when he found out that the sanatorium was related to Frank Hospital, Wen Shi wanted to place [My Home] in the sanatorium. In addition, the existence of the sanatorium meant that there were probably many branches related to Frank Hospital in the instance. Once he had incorporated all of them, he could then override the main hospital from the outside.
To sum it up, it is nothing more than: build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king.
Thinking of this, Wen Shi smiled happily at the camera. He was doing a good job in starting his business.
On the other side of the camera, the man sitting at the desk looked at the cat doctor with a sweet smile in the camera and was silent for a long time.
Not long ago, he looked up why cats wag their tails. The answer is that cats wag their tails when they like someone, and also when they feel safe.
Why does he like me? Why does he trust me
The man used to be very puzzled by this, but now he re-read the information and found that there was another reason that had been overlooked from the beginning: sometimes they would raise their tails high to patrol their territory.
And ever since Wen Shi entered the sanatorium, he has almost never let go of his tail.
