In the operating room, as soon as Li Nan came in, he was met with enthusiastic faces, and every pair of eyes was looking straight at him.
He glanced at the iron hook in the surgeon's hand and suddenly felt that the terrifying hook was not much different from the eyes of these people.
Li Nan focused his inquiring gaze on Yu Xingzhou and said "hmm" with a hint of doubt.
Yu Xingzhou waved his hand and said calmly, "Nothing."
No one can see what expression is underneath the cold mask.
No one spoke for a while, and the only sounds in the operating room were the sounds of the doctor operating the knife and sewing the wound.
Everyone who came in would receive a task reminder. Li Nan glanced at the cabinet behind the doctor and was the first to break the silence: "What are your plans?"
Everyone looked at him without saying anything.
The plan is right in front of you.
Li Nan: “…”
Are you possessed by a demon
Didi—
A rapid prompt sound rang out.
After the suture was completed, the numbers on the instrument began to fluctuate immediately, and then dropped rapidly after a while. The surgeon was no longer surprised by this scene, but he was still quite disappointed.
The fat nurse closest to him looked at Wen Shi and others with vicious eyes and said, "There are a lot of goods to experiment with today. Maybe we can make a breakthrough."
The surgeon became excited again after hearing this, took off his blood-stained gloves and changed into a new pair. A normal person would have exhausted all his energy after a major operation, but the doctor didn't know what kind of monster it was, but he didn't seem tired at all, and immediately urged the nurse to clean up the failed experiment on the operating table.
As the fat nurse removed the tube from the dead man, she said, "Are you too impatient? In the past, when only the cerebellum was replaced, the patient's survival rate was slightly higher."
Although the conditions were not very good, one out of ten was in a coma, and they were all sent to the transplant ward for observation.
The doctor who was questioned glared at her unhappily. The fat nurse said no more and while untying the restraints, she transferred the anger she received from the doctor to the new guinea pig.
"Have you made up your mind?" the fat nurse asked maliciously, "Who will go first?"
"he."
Except for the young boy, everyone took a step back and pointed at Li Nan.
Li Nan was not indignant at being pushed out, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of distribution method do you use?"
The new guy stays and pushes him out, the law of the strong sacrificing
The boy picked up the steel pipe, as if he was afraid that the person would run away: "I'll take you there."
The mastermind behind the scenes, Wen Shi, silently watched this scene. The boy gave up Devouring. After the team battle mission, he could no longer use his skills. Everything he enjoyed now would be wiped out sooner or later, including the points. While he could still use it now, he naturally wanted as much as possible.
It's a pity that the [Revelation] skill has a limited number of uses in a single copy, otherwise it would be very useful to play the game.
The fat nurse's smile widened when she saw the teenager using the steel pipe to threaten people to come over. Watching people killing each other was much more interesting than assisting in surgery.
Li Nan stepped forward cooperatively, without taking his hands out of his pockets. The boy guessed that he might be holding some powerful prop in his hands, and he pushed the steel pipe forward a little as if unintentionally, poking the opponent's waist.
Smart people know how to cooperate. Li Nan understood that Shadow was preparing to take action.
The moment the man's body was dragged away, the boy approached inconspicuously. The next second, the blood-stained body suddenly stood up on the spot. The movement was too large. Some of the brain matter that was not cleaned up on the forehead bounced out, and some of the thick liquid splashed on the nurse and the other part splashed on Li Nan's neck.
"Cover me while I get the things." The young man reminded in a low voice and poked the fat nurse fiercely with the steel pipe.
The monsters were all startled, let alone Li Nan, whose peaceful expression was almost broken. He had thought of countless backup plans, but none of them included making the corpse stand up.
There was a sharp pain in her shoulder. The fat nurse was stabbed by the steel pipe and was about to get angry. Suddenly, Wen Shi, who was leaning against the door, exclaimed, "Oh my God! The brain transplant surgery was successful."
After cutting it open, it was filled with black sesame filling. Yu Xingzhou added indifferently: "Kill this experiment quickly, it's simply a monster."
The blood on his head and the half-long hair that stuck together covered his dilated pupils. The dead man picked up a nearby scalpel and waved it wildly, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
The doctor was most concerned about the experimental subject. He was misled by Wen Shiyi and immediately said, "Don't let them get close to the experimental subject!"
Seeing that the fat nurse wanted to attack the test subject indiscriminately, the doctor shouted angrily: "Even if you die, he can't die!"
The contents of the operating cart were overturned by the man, and the medicine injected before death lost its effect. The man, after resurrecting from the dead, briefly regained his orcish strength.
"Thirteen seconds." Wen Shi counted down.
The doctor rushed to the experimental subject, and the boy took advantage of the chaos to rush to the cabinet. The doctor subconsciously tried to stop him, but was stopped by Li Nan. He held a cross pendant in his hand. A white light flashed before the doctor's eyes, and he felt as if his soul was sucked away for a second. When he came to his senses again, the boy had already opened the cabinet door.
"You have been given a tranquilizer*2."
"Eight seconds, quick." Wen Shi reminded.
Without taking the time to read the instructions, the boy quickly pressed the red button hidden behind the cabinet.
The door of the operating room opened.
The doctor was furious. His original body was very strong, and in his anger part of his body transformed into a beast. His sharp claws pierced through the sterile gloves and grabbed the boy.
The boy did not dodge or evade, and attacked the resurrected man with the steel pipe, as if he was determined to kill the experimental subject.
Even when his rage was off the charts, the doctor reflexively retracted his claws to protect his masterpiece.
"Hold him down, I'll give him an anesthetic injection!"
The doctor ordered the fat nurse to subdue the dancing corpse and prepared the anesthetic himself. The moment he picked up the needle, the crazy man's body went limp and he fell heavily backwards.
There was a loud bang, and the doctor was stunned on the spot.
"Walk!"
Without Li Nan's reminder, the boy had already sprinted towards the door.
How much time they have depends entirely on luck, as it will take some time for the doctor to examine the body.
When the boy was about to rush to the door, the doctor at the back finally realized that he might have been tricked. He didn't know why the corpse was abnormal, but he first suspected the new group of guinea pigs: "Security!"
The doctor's roar almost echoed throughout the entire corridor: "Catch them for me!"
He was still trying to see if the dead man had any signs of resurrection.
After successfully running out of the operating room, Song Yan did not feel relieved and was even a little panicked. The lights in the operating room had been broken by the cart thrown around by the man, and now only a small part of it was still on, and the light was flickering.
The corridor was even darker.
He didn't dare to rush forward for a moment, as he always felt that the security guard was walking towards them.
Wen Shi used his actions to tell Song Yan that this was not an illusion. He bravely turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and in the area where the light was directly shining, the sheep-headed security guard appeared under the pale light.
Wen Shi, who had been running around all the time, didn't think of running away this time, nor did he try to get away with sweet talk. He just walked in front of the crowd and stood there, looking at the sheep-headed security guard walking towards him.
His shoulders were very thin, but Song Yan felt inexplicably safe standing behind him.
Li Nan: "There should be only one security guard on this floor."
Wen Shi nodded. If there were other security guards, they would have rushed over as well when the doctor yelled so loudly.
Song Yan: "Do you want to fight hard?"
"I can't beat him." Wen Shi sneered. Not to mention him, even if Li Nan and Yu Xingzhou joined forces, they might not be the opponent of this sheep-headed security guard. The other party could guard an entire floor, so his strength must be extraordinary.
Yu Xingzhou was able to be fearless because he had a substitute in his hand, and the same was true for Li Nan, so they were somewhat confused about Wen Shi's calmness.
Just as Wen Shi thought, facing this terrifying sheep-headed security guard, they didn't have any good ideas for a while.
The doctor in the operating room was still studying the corpse that had briefly appeared dead. The doctor also had great confidence in the security guard's ability and did not think that a few damn mice could escape.
"Bet." Wen Shi suddenly said, "We can only bet that the security guards will let us go."
This sentence sounds like a fairy tale.
Wen Shi, however, said something completely unrelated: "It's almost ten minutes past one."
The time limit given by the game is about to expire, and the shadow and the original body will soon start killing each other.
Yu Xingzhou's shadow's way of thinking is similar to Yu Xingzhou's, and he knows the original body's purpose of coming to this copy. There is a locked room at the end of the corridor, which is no secret to anyone who comes to do the bracelet task. Anyone who is a little thoughtful, such as Li Nan, will go in and explore.
If Wen was the shadow, the best way to hunt the original body would be to hide somewhere nearby, waiting for the target to explore a dangerous place, and then fight them when they are most relaxed.
He took a few steps forward on his own initiative, and unexpectedly moved the direction of the flashlight, pointing it directly at the freezer compartment.
The transplant room cannot be entered, and there may be patients in the VIP ward who need to get up at night at any time. The freezer is the only suitable place to hide.
Almost at the moment the flashlight swept over, a dark shadow suddenly squatted down.
For goats with rectangular pupils, the fleeting images cannot escape their field of vision at all.
Song Yan swallowed his saliva, secretly sighing that Wen Shi's guess was accurate, and asked nervously in a low voice: "Will the security guards let him go and catch him first?"
This night shift security guard is a man of few words, and looks like an iron-faced and ruthless official.
Wen Shi was silent: "Maybe."
Like Yu Xingzhou, Shadow chose the hunting mission and did not know the function of the bracelet. He was hiding now, and the security guards could not see his bracelet. Faced with the uninvited guests who broke into the freezer, the Sheep Head Security Guards chose to capture Shadow first, and letting them go was not a violation.
As for why it was released
Wen Shi just had a feeling that this sheep-headed security guard seemed to treat him differently after hearing his answer about Dean Frank.
After all, the security guards could have just put them in chains, regardless of their nonsense about sacrificing their lives for science. But in the end, they chose to send them to the operating room, which was already a privilege.
Under the gaze of everyone, the sheep-headed security guard pulled out the deadly underworld chain from his waist, and the chain with autonomous attack consciousness went towards the direction of the freezer.
The sheep-headed security guard then entered the freezer first.
Wen Shi didn't wait a moment and rushed forward desperately. The stairwell was closer than the elevator, so everyone turned in and ran to the next floor.
The whole journey was not very long, but it was a life-and-death experience. Everyone’s clothes were soaked with sweat and they were breathing heavily like dead fish.
Instead of going directly to the third floor, Wen Shi leaned against the wall, using the coolness from behind to calm himself down.
The main reason why Li Nan brought Wen Shi here was to facilitate the exploration of the hospital. Now it seems that this is a very wise move. If nothing else, at least a surrogate prop was saved. After escaping danger temporarily, he did not ignore the excitement of several people when he entered the operating room: "So you were just waiting for me to fake my death?"
Everyone looked away, wondering what nonsense he was talking about.
Wen Shi changed the subject in time: "What is the effect of tranquilizers?"
Also wanting to quickly turn over the chapter of pretending to be dead, the boy cooperated and said, "Let me see."
He checked the instructions:
[Tranquilizer: One bottle can calm the brain monster on the second underground floor for about ten minutes.]
After the boy explained the purpose, Wen Shi murmured, "A chameleon I met before hinted that there was a dormant monster on the second underground floor."
Originally he thought the monster might be the guardian of the evolutionary fluid, but the previous prompt clearly mentioned that the task was related to the key, so it was self-evident what the monster was guarding.
No matter what, you must go to the second floor, because all the advanced evolutionary liquids are there.
Wen Shi was about to say he wanted to go downstairs when Yu Xingzhou suddenly asked, "Do you mind waiting for me for ten minutes?"
Wen Shi thought about it and nodded.
Yu Xingzhou walked towards the fourth floor again. Song Yan came back to his senses from his previous shock. Seeing Yu Xingzhou's fading back, he asked, "Is he going to hunt the shadow in reverse?"
Wen Shi: "Yes, now is the best opportunity."
Firstly, if Shadow was touched by the security guard's chain, his skills would be locked for thirty minutes, and Yu Xingzhou's skill lock time had already passed; secondly, the bracelet could only be used once, and Shadow could not continue to stay on the dangerous fourth floor. It was the best time to take action while he was hastily escaping.
While waiting, Li Nan smiled and said, "Why don't we just go?"
He and Yu Xingzhou were unreserved when it came to sharing information, and showed no mercy when it came to backstabbing.
"One less person means one less competitor for the key."
Song Yan didn't understand the function of the key. After hearing them mention it again and again, he looked at Wen Shi with a confused look on his face.
Wen Shi leaned against the wall without moving, just smiled, but did not show any intention of leaving.
With Yu Xingzhou and Li Nan balancing each other, even if he couldn't get the key, one party would offer him considerable benefits in order to win him over and stop the other party. If he only went with one of them, the benefits would probably be greatly reduced.
Wen Shi had agreed to go with Yu Xingzhou to prevent the persecution of the other party's shadow. Now that Yu Xingzhou was going to hunt shadows, he would most likely use the time-pause skill, and the only use of this skill would be to check and balance Li Nan.
There was a faint noise coming from above.
As a fellow shadow, the boy felt a subtle sympathy for the shadow that was being hunted upstairs.
The light from the corridor on the third floor partially seeped into the stairwell, leaving only half of Wen Shi's body in darkness. After a while, he seemed to be getting impatient, so he took out his phone to check the time, tapping the wall behind him impatiently with his fingertips.
"It's so slow." He complained.
Wen Shi completely ignored the death of a shadow with whom he had many interactions.
At this moment, the boy realized that what the original body said that night was true. All his little kindness was used on himself.
Ten minutes and thirty seconds later, Yu Xingzhou came downstairs again. There was a wound on his neck, but it was not fatal.
Wen Shi straightened up: "Solved?"
Yu Xingzhou nodded.
No one spoke, and the group went downstairs again.
Once you reach the lobby on the first floor, the only way to go down is to take the elevator.
When entering the elevator, Wen Shi suddenly asked the boy: "Where is your little aunt?"
The boy's expression was a little distorted: "I'm trying to make a voodoo doll with the ball of thread."
Wen Shi didn’t quite understand.
"She was worried that I would die, so she could put my soul into the doll and find a way to revive me later."
Before the boy came, he spent several hours reasoning with the girl, telling her that being strong alone was not enough, and that the hospital must be full of all kinds of rules, and that anyone who touched them would die. The girl, who was aware of her own IQ, knew that she could not help him in this regard, so she chose to save the situation in a roundabout way.
After he finished speaking, he didn't even wait for Wen Shi's teasing, and the boy still felt a little uncomfortable.
Wen Shi's eyesight was a little vague. He didn't know what he was thinking about when he pressed the button for the second floor below ground. The smile on his lips disappeared: "To want to reverse life and death without the concept of life and death is a tragedy in itself."
The boy thought Wen Shi was referring to the fact that the little zombie had wanted to form a zombie father-son group with him, so he didn't ask any more questions.
We soon reached the second floor below ground.
It was pitch black all around, and after the elevator door closed, there was no light at all. The floor had a sandy, grainy feel, as if no one had cleaned it in a long time.
Wen Shi’s cell phone was running out of battery, so he switched to Li Nankai’s flashlight.
Moving closer to the light source, Wen Shi took out the blueprint of the monitoring room, which only showed a part of the map.
"This road leads to the God-level Evolution Fluid. We have to go to a place that is not drawn on the map."
There is no way the game would put the key and the evolution fluid on the same path, allowing them to kill two birds with one stone.
Teenager: "Why not do the thief mission first?"
Wen Shi: "The little octopus and the others are doing it for me. If they see any extra evolutionary fluid when they pass by, they will take it out as well."
Wen Shi's task was to find a bottle of unique evolutionary fluid, which must be hidden the deepest and most concealed. The remaining ordinary god-level evolutionary fluids would be much easier to find. In addition, the little octopus's perception of the pollution source, if everything went well, the tasks of the boy and Song Yan could be completed at the same time.
The boy frowned: "Why don't you do it yourself?"
Wen Shi shook his head. It was true that relying on the power of others would make him vulnerable to being targeted by the rules, but when he was on the negative first floor, he had already been targeted like a sieve, so this little bit was not a big deal.
"And, relying on a brainless ..."
Before the boy could sneer, Wen Shi interrupted, "I almost forgot to say, it has a brain, and hyperamnesia."
If the occasion wasn't wrong, the boy's stunned expression would be worth taking a photo of.
When Wen Shi was about to continue walking forward, his clothes were suddenly grabbed. He turned around and heard the young man whisper, "Evolutionary fluid, is it so amazing... Will it work if it is used on people?"
Before he finished the rest of his words, the young man shuddered in advance and immediately gave up the idea.
Yu Xingzhou and Li Nan's focus never shifted. Li Nan glanced at the map and said, "If we want to avoid the evolutionary fluid route, we need to turn left at the first intersection."
Wen Shi asked the teenager to give one tranquilizer to Li Nan, and they kept one for themselves in case of special situations where one person got entangled and the other could come to the rescue in time.
It seems that no one has come to explore the second underground floor yet, and it is so quiet that it is a little scary.
Song Yan kept swallowing his saliva, and finally tried to breathe only through his mouth. There was a strong smell of blood in the air, which was even stronger and more pungent than the smell he had felt in the operating room before.
The road they were currently walking on was like a big tree, with many branches, but overall it was fine. The underground second floor was not as coherent as the upper floor, where the passages could be connected in all directions, and many roads here could be seen at a glance.
There were small rooms on each aisle. There were no doors in the rooms and they were filled with iron barrels. Wen Shi picked one to check and found that the barrels were full of bloody brains.
Song Yan stood at the door and expressed his inner feelings: "It seems to be convenient for something to eat."
Wen Shi walked out, feeling a little dizzy from the smell of blood, and continued to walk forward.
The team made full use of the strong, Li Nan was the first to go, and Yu Xingzhou was the second. When passing a corner, Li Nan suddenly stopped.
The off-white walls and ceiling disappeared, replaced by a layer of dark red flesh membrane. Its surface was not smooth, and many oval lumps of flesh similar to polyps hung on the side walls of the fascia, about the size of a baby's fist.
Li Nan was very brave. He walked directly into the area covered by the flesh membrane and pointed the flashlight at one of the pieces of meat.
It's not as ugly as imagined, more like a... cocoon.
The same idea came to everyone's mind almost at the same time.
Layers of red filaments were wrapped around the piece of meat, making it appear oddly soft.
Li Nan reached out to touch it, resisting the tingling sensation on his scalp and not moving his fingertips away. After a moment, his face turned slightly pale: "Memory."
"Um?"
Li Nan: "When I touched the cocoon, a few vague memories flashed through my mind."
It is the memory of a certain werewolf orc.
Wen Shi also entered the area covered by the flesh membrane, approached a cocoon at random, and made a guess: "After the monster eats the brain flower, it will form a cocoon."
However, I can feel that the cocoon is shrinking, and I think it will disappear again after a while.
He paused and said, "This should be the brain monster mentioned in the prompt tone."
The brain nerves twitched slightly, and Wen Shi felt that a small part of his brain's memory was being absorbed. A dark light flashed in his eyes: "Hurry up, this thing will absorb people's memories even when it is not eating."
Having come this far, there was no point in giving up. Everyone walked silently into the depths of the scarlet.
After walking for a distance, even the floor tiles disappeared. Every step I took sank deep into flesh and blood. When I pulled my legs out and continued to move forward, the gaps in the soles of my shoes were filled with dense flesh paste.
The air became thicker and thicker, and the increasingly fishy smell indicated that they were approaching the core of the monster. Song Yan didn't even dare to look at his muddy pants, but the boy was very calm and even complained: "Are we walking into the belly of a monster?"
I wonder how the monster would react to the midnight snack delivered to its door.
Wen Shi thought seriously for a few seconds and replied, "That depends on whether the brain monster has achieved the integration of the stomach and brain."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding walls began to wriggle violently, and the flesh walls on all sides pressed inwards. The elastic fascia was absolutely capable of suffocating and dissolving people.
Wen Shi’s expression became serious: “Tranquilizer!”
The world was spinning, and the man was like a lone boat shaking violently in the waves. The boy lost his balance and almost fell into the meat paste. He quickly took out the tranquilizer. The instructions did not explain in detail how to use the medicine. The boy simply and roughly poked the steel pipe into the meat paste, stirred a hole, and sprinkled the medicine directly into it.
Except for the moment when the steel pipe stabbed the flesh membrane and caused it to tremble violently, everyone was knocked over. A few seconds after the sedative was injected, the storm finally stopped and everything around began to calm down.
This time, no one reminded them. After getting up, they rushed forward at their fastest speed. They had already used up one tranquilizer and had to get the key before the effect wore off. The remaining tranquilizer was to be used on the return trip.
While running, the boy glanced at Wen Shi.
Wen Shi knew what he was thinking about, about the distribution of key ownership later.
The young man Nian Piaopiao said: "Don't work so hard for nothing and end up making wedding clothes for others."
The key had no appeal to him, but if he really had to choose, the boy would more or less hope that the key would fall into Wen Shi's hands rather than the other two.
Wen Shi was not bothered by this at all.
The most difficult part of dealing with the brain monster was over. It was almost impossible to walk out of the operating room on the fourth floor alive. They had relied on some luck, the identity of "doctor" and the goat-head security guard's leniency, which allowed them to survive relatively smoothly.
At this difficulty, tranquilizers are a perfect way to deal with brain monsters, and there won't be any more problems. But the game won't let go of the opportunity to torture players easily. Considering everything in the entire dungeon, Wen Shi has no doubt that it will soon be time to make a choice.
From the moment he got off the train to the end, he carried out his decision all the way to the end. This kind of unconventional beginning and end made him want to swear.
The humidity increases as you go forward, and small blood beads can be seen condensing on the deep red flesh membrane.
When the humidity in the air reached a level that made it almost impossible to breathe, everyone had to stop running, adjust their breathing, and walk slowly forward.
Wen Shi now desperately wants to breathe oxygen.
His body reacted faster than he thought and he took a deep breath. The fishy smell went straight into his lungs and almost made him pass out.
While he was still trying to adapt to the current environment, Li Nan and Yu Xingzhou in front of him had already stopped.
Wen Shi, who was just walking forward with his head down, almost bumped into one of them. After stopping in time, he looked up and was stunned.
In the deepest part of the flesh membrane, countless veins like this intricate road all converged together, entangled in a very beautiful ancient mirror, from the inside of the mirror you can see the entire miniature of Sunset Town. Many gems were inlaid around the mirror, and Wen Shi noticed with his sharp eyes that one of the gems was slightly dark, which was inexplicably out of tune with all the surrounding decorations.
He immediately thought of the keys to leave the copy, which were also inlaid with gems.
This mirror is like the heart of the brain monster. This strange creature relies on it to survive.
The key may be right in front of you, but no one steps forward because there is someone standing next to the mirror.
Song Yan called out in surprise: "Miss Tour Guide."
The iconic silver hair is eye-catching in any environment.
However, when the other party raised her head, Song Yan was not so sure. The tour guide would not show her emotions on her face, but she did not have such an unfathomable temperament.
Wen Shi's eyes tightened, and he blurted out subconsciously: "True spirit."
Song Yan didn't quite understand.
The 'tour guide' moved her fingers slightly, and several blood-red cocoons appeared in front of everyone except the young man.
Inside the cocoon is a small portion of the player's memory that has been absorbed by the brain monster during the time they have been here.
The true spirit just touched them through the air and returned the cocoon to them. When the player subconsciously reached out to hold the cocoon, many memory fragments reappeared in his mind and deepened.
"In my opinion, memory, rather than organs, is the main component of a person." Although he is one of the most terrifying beings in the game, the voice of this true spirit is exceptionally peaceful, with just a hint of remoteness.
He created many species, earworms, small bright flying insects... but what he really wanted to achieve was a monster that stole memories.
Wen Shi understood immediately: "Light and other things can be transferred from one person to another, so do you think memory can be transferred as well?"
The True Spirit nodded slightly: "Unfortunately, stealing memories is easy, but preserving and transplanting them is difficult."
Li Nan instinctively felt that something was wrong. True spirits were synonymous with terror and arrogance, so there was no reason why they could be so approachable as to engage in questioning and answering questions with them.
"My true self is not here. This mirror is only a part of my origin." Zhen Ling seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts. When he spoke, the ordinary face of the tour guide flashed with a strange color. Zhen Ling smiled and said, "So my temper is still pretty good now."
Everyone's attention was on the True Spirit, except Song Yan. He looked curiously at his fingernail-sized cocoon, and when he touched it, he saw some images of the train.
Compared with other people's, my situation is obviously abnormal.
Song Yan asked quietly: "Is it because I have been in the dungeon for a short time?"
Wen Shi avoided this question. When he looked into the eyes of Zhen Ling, a sharp pain would immediately appear in his mind, so he looked away and asked directly: "How can we get the key?"
"choose."
As soon as these two words came out, Wen Shi resisted the urge to press his temple.
The True Spirit first looked at Song Yan: "I will give you two choices. Your origin is extraordinary. I can tell you the truth and activate a powerful body transformation for you. Or, do you choose to take this key?"
Song Yan asked almost instinctively: "After I get the key, can I give it to someone else?"
He saw that the boss seemed to be trying very hard to get it.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet for a moment. Song Yan shrank his neck, wondering if he had said something wrong.
After a while, Wen Shi gently reminded: "Choose the first one."
Getting the key is meaningless to Song Yan.
Song Yan didn't understand why, but he still followed Wen Shi's advice: "I choose the truth and changing my body."
Zhen Ling looked at him deeply.
Song Yan suddenly realized something. Everyone was deliberately avoiding the gaze of the True Spirit, and only he was looking back. In Song Yan's judgment, the reason why others avoided him was definitely not because of fear.
"You are one of my avatars."
Just a few words instantly made Song Yan's mind go blank.
His comprehension ability is not bad, and this sentence reveals a lot of information just from its literal meaning.
Song Yan's breathing became rapid. Was the other party trying to say that he was not an independent individual
How could it be possible? He obviously had a happy family and a decent job. Song Yan remembered that he fell asleep on the bus while on a business trip, and when he woke up again, he was already on the train. Thinking of this, his face became more and more ugly, and he finally realized the problem. Every time he tried to explore a memory, there would be mistakes. For example, Song Yan was surprised to find that he could not remember the appearance of his parents at all.
"I'm a doctor." He felt ridiculous even when he said this. After coming to the plastic surgery hospital and seeing these perverted experiments, he did not subconsciously empathize with the patients from a doctor's perspective or condemn such behavior.
Ignoring Song Yan's pale face, his true spirit passed Wen Shi and looked directly at Yu Xingzhou.
"Your memory is slightly interesting. You come from a prominent family and have a brother who had an accident. After the accident, you gave up your studies and rushed back to take charge of the situation. However, the people in your family, including your own mother who was easily influenced, believed the rumors and thought that you wanted to inherit the family business, so they asked someone to take action against you." Zhenling used the most straightforward language to tell the cruel truth. "It was not until later that you found out that the famous doctors you asked someone to find and the health products you sent had all been repeatedly tested and inspected by them."
Yu Xingzhou stood there calmly, but his thoughts seemed to have drifted back to three years ago, when he had just finished dealing with a business deal with great effort, and his family called to say that his mother was ill. When he rushed to the hospital, his weak mother held his hand and hesitated several times.
"Xiaozhou, if you want something, you can just tell us..."
At that moment, he understood something and felt like he was falling into a cold cellar.
True Spirit: "I also give you two choices, choose the key or the potion."
Yu Xingzhou's fingers flexed stiffly: "What medicine?"
"Your brother's injury is to his brain nerves, which is a relevant specialty. What we have the most here is medicine to treat the brain." Zhen Ling said calmly, "I can't bring things from this world to you, but there is a way to use medicine as a medium."
Yu Xingzhou was so smart that he immediately understood what he meant. The price of using the potion was to enter the game as a player. Not long ago, he had used a similar excuse to meet with Wen Shi to discuss how much the other party was willing to pay to get him into the game.
A full half minute passed without him giving an answer.
"Why are you silent?" Zhen Ling smiled. "According to your memory, your brother has always said that it is better to die than to live like this. I believe that if this choice is placed in front of him, he will enter this world without hesitation."
But what happens after entering is another matter.
What humans love to do most is to vent their anger on their incompetence.
Wen Shi frowned.
Choosing the key will surely bring Yu Xingzhou unrest for the rest of his life, while choosing the potion will be the beginning of another tragedy.
He couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "You only have one key, what if we both choose it?"
Zhen Ling tried every means to put Wen Shi to death, but was also extremely tolerant of him. If it were someone else, speaking in such a cold and hard tone, the price he would pay would definitely not be small.
"Don't forget who I am."
The mirror is best at copying, and if he wants, he can even give everyone a key.
However, in order to leave the game, the three keys that need to be collected are different. Even if the true spirit directly gives three keys to one person, it will be useless.
Yu Xingzhou finally spoke again: "Does the medicine really work?"
"Of course, it's not a terminal illness."
I don’t know if it was Yu Xingzhou’s illusion, but Zhen Ling felt a little sad when he mentioned the terminal illness.
Yu Xingzhou didn't hesitate too much: "I choose potion."
Zhen Ling was not surprised by his choice, and his gaze, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, finally stopped on Wen Shi.
"Your adoptive father..." The True Spirit paused for the first time: "Many people call them monsters and are looking forward to his return."
—To want to reverse life and death without any concept of life and death is a tragedy in itself.
The boy thought of what Wen Shi said in the elevator and the experiment of transplanting dead people's brains into living people, and turned his head suddenly.
Wen Shi asked calmly, "You took Dad's brain, right?"
The true spirit did not answer.
Wen Shi continued: "You want him to be resurrected in me."
The shocking statement made everyone's eyes tremble, and they all looked at him, not understanding where he came to this conclusion.
The true spirit just smiles and says nothing.
Just when Wen Shi thought that the silence would continue, the True Spirit spoke: "I will still obey his wishes, but some things may not. I can tell you where all the sources of danger you will face in the future are and how to deal with them. Do you want to know these or do you want the key?"
"Key." Wen Shi didn't hesitate for even a second.
The air became quiet again.
Song Yan, who was originally unable to accept the reality, suddenly felt that he was not that unfortunate after listening to Yu Xingzhou's story; and Yu Xingzhou, who had just made a decision, inexplicably felt that his experience... was not so bad when he heard about what Wen Shi was going to experience.
Between the two sides, it was always Zhen Ling who spoke first. He only said one sentence: "Your luck is the greatest misfortune."
Wen Shi replied perfunctorily: "Yeah."
His face was full of words: Read, keys, come quickly.
Seeing this, Song Yan couldn't help but think, since the boss is so strong, should he also stand up? For example, set a small goal first, and let the incarnation swallow the original body
That’s right, use their own spear to attack their shield!
He became more energetic.
Almost at the moment this thought arose, an extremely dangerous gaze swept over, and Song Yan reflexively hid behind Wen Shi.
Zhen Ling was wondering what he was thinking of when he saw this scene. The murderous intent in his eyes faded a little, and he casually waved his hand, and two keys flew towards Wen Shi and Li Nan at the same time.
Wen Shi silently put the things into the safe and checked the time. His mind was filled with only the task.
Zhen Ling narrowed his eyes: "You don't care about these things at all?"
Forced to be beautiful and strong, Wen Shi shrugged.
There are older sister, younger brother, son, grandmother and a good-for-nothing shadow in the family. Little Octopus follows him around, and Song Yan is his fanboy behind him. In the past, he had his father to teach and support him all the way, and he has made a few friends recently.
In the end, he just said calmly: "Thank you for the invitation. I have a happy family with relatives and friends in the future."
On the other side, after Li Nan received the key, he asked suspiciously: "I don't have to make a choice?"
Zhen Ling said expressionlessly: "You are too ordinary."
Li Nan: “…”
I'd really be sorry if you didn't have a tragic life, no family misfortunes, and no rough road ahead.
