Matryoshka Off-Limits

Chapter 8: Castle Night

Views:

Even sterilized kittens and puppies sometimes hate their owners, let alone an earl.

The bearded man's expression also looked very ugly.

However, from the moment the system recognized him, he could no longer perform any horrific offensive actions. When their eyes met, Wen Shi managed to keep a smile: "See you tomorrow morning."

The bearded man glared at him fiercely and walked away reluctantly.

Wen Shi completely lost the mood to read.

The office was in a mess. After cleaning up the debris on the desk, he searched for a long time in the corridor but couldn't find a trash can. On the way, he passed the pharmacy, the lounge, and even the prayer room. In this era, many mental patients were believed to be possessed by demons, and treatment was no different from torture.

Wen Shi was about to give up and go back when he found that the nurse's station in front was empty.

The entire hospital was in a state of chaos, with dirty needles lying on the table, as if ready for a second use. Wen Shi returned to the office, took out the camera he found while cleaning the cabinet, and quickly took a few photos for evidence.

The dean's office is also nearby.

The door was not locked. Wen Shi pushed open the half-open door. Inside was spacious and luxurious, with leather chairs. On the wall hung a portrait of a bearded man, who looked very prestigious.

“It’s much more luxurious than my office.”

There were some fragments in the trash can. Wen Shi picked them up and pieced together a sentence: Dean Ao, the money will arrive tomorrow. As usual, my brother must stay crazy all the time.

The camera was pointed at the evidence and a few more pictures were taken.

[You discovered the dirty dealings inside Frank Hospital.]

Da da.

There were footsteps in the corridor.

Wen Shi threw the pieces of paper back to their original place, but there was no way to hide the camera.

The fat nurse's weight did not affect her speed. She came over like a gust of wind and asked with a ferocious look on her face, "Doctor Aaron, what are you doing here?"

"The Earl was dissatisfied with my poor treatment results and asked me to take Dean Ao with me tomorrow." Wen Shi said slowly, "The rule of the castle is that every doctor who treats patients must leave photos and information. I couldn't find the dean, so I came here to take a self-portrait."

The fat nurse was skeptical: "The dean went to the second floor."

Wen Shi said "Oh", and naturally went upstairs to go out. Just as he took a step, a crazy reminder sound came.

"Warning! This is a Class A dangerous area not related to the current instance. Please enter with caution."

Wen Shi paused.

The fat nurse smiled coldly from behind and asked, "Why don't you go up?"

Wen Shi retreated awkwardly: "Tomorrow's treatment is crucial. I will go and write a complete treatment plan first."

Wen Shi returned to the office with lingering fear and frowned: "It seems that there are many places in this world worth exploring."

There is no time to develop the photos.

He took out the film directly and started writing the letter.

Do one good deed every day. This is what Wen Shi had promised that person.

Ao previously mentioned that he was very nervous when he was taken to prison, which means he was very afraid of going in. Having fear means that one can deal with it.

The content of the letter explained the irregularities of the mental hospital, the director's bribery and the inhumane abuses. Wen Shi also recorded all his lack of knowledge about mental treatment on paper, hoping that it would be taken seriously.

The sound of violent running interrupted his thoughts.

Wen Shi raised his head and his eyes met those of the patient outside.

The patient had long black hair and a very slender figure. There was a bandage wrapped around his throat, and it was unclear whether he was a man or a woman.

In addition to the throat, the patient's shoulders, wrists... almost one-third of the body was wrapped in bandages, and blood was oozing from under the yellowed bandages. If a normal wound was covered like this, it would definitely get infected.

The door of Wen Shi's office was broken by the bearded man, which gave the patient an opportunity. He jumped in like a wild beast.

Just then, the fat nurse also rushed over.

This hospital did not use restraints, but only the most primitive hemp ropes. The patient's wrists were rubbed bloody by the ropes. He held the broken hemp rope and strangled Wen Shi's neck, silently revealing a threat: If you come one step closer, I will kill him!

The patient was strangely as strong as an ox, and Wen Shi couldn't break free. He looked at the fat nurse outside the door, and unnoticeably used his elbow to push the letter on the table into a pile of messy documents to make it less conspicuous.

The bandaged patient noticed his little movement and tightened the rope, and marks immediately appeared on Wen Shi's neck.

He seemed ready to die together with his partner until he caught a glimpse of the contents of the letter and suddenly stopped moving.

Wen Shi lowered his voice and said, "The nurse and the dean are in cahoots with each other. They won't care whether I live or die. It's useless for you to hold me hostage."

The brief encounter before made Wen Shi feel that the nurse looked down on him.

As expected, the fat nurse was not hesitating because she was worried about Wen Shi's safety, but was waiting for the head nurse to come. In a moment, the head nurse walked in with a needle.

Wen Shi continued calmly: "You killed me, but you helped them."

Faced with the nurse approaching step by step, the patient was persuaded by him.

Wen Shi: "Only I will help you."

It's not that I can, but that I will. Apart from him, no one else in this hospital will write a letter of complaint.

This letter of complaint was indeed very convincing, and a hint of struggle flashed across the patient's ferocious eyes.

"Delete file 82."

The bandaged patient finally made up his mind, said something quickly in Wen Shi's ear, relaxed the strength of his hands, and reached out one hand to his waist without any expression.

There was a sharp pain in his back, Wen Shi frowned in pain, and felt something piercing into him.

[You have accepted a special mission to delete file No. 82]

[The player obtains 1 world fragment! Please note that this fragment is very important. With it, you will truly be one of the candidates for the dean.]

[Current hospital exploration degree rises to 5%]

[You are one step closer to becoming the dean]

virtual reality.

All the words on the public list disappeared for a moment. No matter if they were players who had just come out of a dungeon, or were watching the leaderboard, or were just passing by, they all stopped and looked.

"Player 460872 triggered a special 3S-level copy clue!"

“This copy will be officially launched soon.”

"All players, please note that this instance is a super-level instance, and the difficulty may exceed 3S at any time!"

"Attention all players, the first player to crack the hidden branch in the dungeon will receive a super-powerful item!"

Super God Props?!

The highest-level props in the mall are only god-level, and they are basically unique and sold out while supplies last. All god-level props are firmly in the hands of the top ten guilds. A super god-level prop can completely change the current situation.

"Look, the Ten Commandments are coming!" The people exclaimed, lamenting that the Grand Council came too quickly.

"This is the first time I've met someone from the top ten guilds."

"Members of the Seventh Commandment are here too."

The names of the ten major guilds are taken from the Ten Commandments in the Bible. It is unknown who was the first to do so, but the most powerful are the members of the First Commandment.

Super God props are of extraordinary significance, and no guild will ignore them.

Player 460872.

*

As the first rookie player in history to attract the attention of the top ten guilds at the same time, Wen Shi didn't know how big a sensation he had caused. Everyone who saw the announcement in the virtual world was extremely curious about him.

With an elbow strike and a neat shoulder throw, Wen Shi threw the patient out in one go when the other party relaxed his grip. He couldn't let the fat nurse notice the report letter on the table, so it was best to keep the patient as far away from the table as possible.

Fortunately, the patient did not resist too much and was thrown out with the cooperation of Wen Shi.

The fat nurse immediately gave the patient electric shock, and the head nurse's needle pierced the patient's blood vessel steadily and accurately.

The slender body trembled violently, like a dead fish making its last struggle after being dehydrated.

Wen Shi had personally experienced the strength of the bandaged patient, but now he was easily subdued by the nurse. Wen Shi was puzzled. If the nurse was so powerful, the bearded man should be even more powerful. Why was he just a reckless man swinging an iron hook

As soon as the nurse left, Wen Shi touched his back.

"hiss-"

He pulled the object out of the skin bit by bit with pain, and it turned out to be a bloody diamond-shaped fragment.

The words [Fragments of the World] automatically come to mind.

"With it, I am qualified to compete for the dean's position, which is a big step in my entrepreneurial journey."

Wen Shi opened the panel, put it into his backpack, rummaged through the boxes and found clean gauze to bandage himself.

Unfortunately, as he had just arrived, Wen Shi didn't know where to send the letter of complaint, and since it was not a special item, it could not be put into his backpack, he temporarily hid it in the bookshelf and would find a chance to inquire about it later.

Wen Shi hardly slept a wink that night.

The office door was broken, and no matter how brave he was, he wouldn't dare to fall asleep in such an environment.

The next day, the driver was waiting outside the gate early. Wen Shi simply ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast and went out. The driver looked impatient and kept looking at him, until the bearded man came out, then he immediately smiled and invited him to get in the carriage.

Wen Shi once again confirmed his position at the bottom of the food chain.

For the sake of social status, he must work hard to become the dean!

The space inside the carriage instantly became smaller after the bearded giant came in.

Wen Shi leaned against the wooden board tightly. He was actually more reluctant to see those disgusting scenes than the fear of the unknown. The maggots crawling on the bearded man's wrist were denser than yesterday, and a few would occasionally fall off as the carriage bumped.

Wen Shi tried not to look at the maggots and said, "Thank you for your hard work later."

The bearded man glared at him fiercely.

Wen Shi pretended not to notice and said flatteringly: "After all, you are the dean, and I am just a novice."

Then he quickly added in his heart: Die in the line of duty quickly, so that he can take the position with dignity.

Wen Shi discovered an interesting phenomenon. Players cannot break the rules of the game, and these NPCs are also bound by rules and regulations. For example, a character cannot be OOC, as long as the reason is legitimate and in line with their personality, and NPCs cannot do things according to their temper.

For example, at this moment, both of them were being roasted over a fire, about to receive suicidal treatment.

The carriage was moving as fast as ever.

The bearded man asked unkindly, "Does the Count agree to this treatment plan?"

Wen Shi: "Is there any patient in our hospital who has agreed to our treatment plan?"

"… "

The game won't leave you with a dead end, which is why Wen Shi isn't too nervous. There must be a way to survive this quest line, and the bearded man following along obediently should be the glimmer of hope the game leaves for him.

When they were about to reach the castle, Wen Shi suddenly turned his head and began to concentrate on the scenery outside, especially the puddle of water under the street light. He did not withdraw his gaze until the carriage had gone far away.

A few minutes later, the two were no longer reluctant and stood in front of the castle as agreed.

What's strange is that the castle is locked today.

Wen Shi knocked on the door.

The housekeeper came to open the door and asked in surprise, "Dr. Aaron, why are you so early today?"

Wen Shi: "I'm worried about breaking the appointment like last time."

As soon as I entered, I noticed that the atmosphere was not right. The only potted plant that showed some vitality in the hall was broken all over the floor, cracks appeared on the wall, and only half of the chandelier was left, hanging dangly.

The entire castle looked like it had been looted by robbers.

The butler went upstairs before Wen Shi opened his mouth to ask, and came down after a while, saying in a deep voice: "Master, please come over."

The butler led the way, and the owner of the castle met them in the safe house.

The safe house is on the fourth floor and has only one secret door and no windows.

It was obvious that the owner of the castle was in a very bad mood, and his pale face was very creepy in the dark room. Wen Shi had prepared a perfect explanation to explain why he brought a beard with him, but neither the butler nor the owner of the castle asked about it.

The moment he saw Wen Shi, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the castle owner. He suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards Wen Shi.

"Your scent," his narrow eyes narrowed, "has become more fragrant."

What does this mean

The owner of the castle moved closer and continued to sniff pervertedly.

He intuitively knew that this compliment was not a good thing. The two were very close to each other. When Wen Shi avoided looking at each other, he noticed that the other person's pants had been torn by something.

Wen Shi felt a little confused. Wearing a torn piece of clothing did not fit the elegant personality of the castle owner.

He was even more curious about what happened before he came, but facing the castle owner who licked his lips, Wen Shi immediately said: "If you are ready, start today's treatment now."

After saying that, he looked at the bearded man again and said, "Dean, it's up to you."

The bearded man took out several medicine bottles and an unopened syringe from the inner pocket of his white coat.

He mixed the medicine with one hand, and then ordered Wen Shi: "My hands are not convenient, you are responsible for the injection."

"… "

His reason was reasonable, and the bearded man's right hand was broken at the root.

The owner of the castle sitting on the chair didn't comb his hair meticulously today, and the wisp of hair that fell down cast a shadow on his side face. Facing the confrontation between the two, he said nothing, but just stared at death quietly.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Wen Shi's face changed slightly. There is no formula for chemical castration in this era. But the bearded man did it, and he urged himself impatiently, saying not to delay the patient's treatment.

"I..." Wen Shi tried to find a reason to retreat.

The bearded man smiled grimly and said, "My medicine is very effective."

"Please complete the castration treatment as soon as possible."

The reminder sound also began to count down continuously, like a death knell, striking again and again.

"Countdown 30 seconds."

“29s, 28s…”
