A group of people entered the cafeteria and took their seats before seeing the number of players in the game. There were twelve people in total, including four nurses and eight doctors. Sitting in a corner far away from them was an old man in blue overalls, who seemed to be either a cleaner or a temporary worker. He was eating meals facing the wall with a blank expression.
The lunch is a simple meal, with two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish. The food in the hospital doesn't taste very good.
After Gu Meng finished her meal, she propped her cheek in one hand and held a drink cup in the other, pretending to casually look at the people at the next two tables, only to find that someone was also looking at them, so her eyes became undisguised, sizing each other up .
Gu Meng looked back, shook the orange soda in the cup, and said to the other three: "There seems to be a new player here. The couple at the second table on the right have been asking questions to their teammates, and they don't know what the teammates said. The girl looked like she was about to cry."
"I thought it was a customs clearance and upgrading game, that is, only players of the same level can team up to play the same game. For example, we are called second-level players for the time being. Then the ones we encounter in the second game must be second-level players. Players, it seems that this is not the case now, the game does not limit the player level." After Tang Zhi finished his understanding, he picked up the egg custard with chopsticks. The food was obviously not to his liking, and he frowned in distress, "Mr. .”
For the past seven days, Gu Meng has been cooking in the Zhiwu. The dishes are not the same every day.
Gu Meng was praised, she was happy, she smiled: "Young master, just order now, or I will go to the cafeteria later to see if I can cook for you."
After eating, Bo Ye put down his chopsticks, pressed the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and said shamelessly, "If you can, make me a portion. Anything is fine. I'm not a taboo. The dishes here really... refresh my taste buds."
Gu Meng quietly rolled her eyes, then remembered another matter that she had been puzzled for a long time, and asked Tang Zhi, "Before you entered the campus scene, you had already experienced a game, right? How did you suddenly join our dungeon?"
Tang Zhi raised his eyelids to look at him, and after a moment of silence, he unshirked in front of the other three and undid the top two buttons of his shirt, grabbed the neckline and pulled it aside. The red tattoo, similar to the "∞" symbol, looks like a small bow.
"I got the privilege after clearing the level. During the game, I can choose a copy arbitrarily. There are only two opportunities." Tang Zhi explained, "The first game I entered was a zombie scene in the end of the world. The way to survive is not to be infected. At that time, only I survived alone, and after clearing the level, I got the privilege to choose a dungeon. At first, I had two tattoos, and then I passed the ring..." He raised his left hand, showing the platinum ring on his ring finger to the opposite side, which was the wedding ring between him and Bo Ye. Jie, "After I found the copy of Bo Ye's existence through the ring, one of the tattoos disappeared, and now only this is left."
Enjin glanced at his ring, then at his left hand, which was empty, and frowned dissatisfied.
Bo Ye stretched out his hand to pull the collar of Tang Zhi's shirt, and fastened the buttons neatly: "Explain, explain, what meat is showing!"
On the opposite side, Gu Meng bit the straw, leaving shallow tooth marks on it, thinking to herself, and said, "If it's really like what Enjin said, this hospital doesn't even have an exit, how can we get out?"
Bo Ye was urging Tang Zhi to eat, and after listening to his question, he didn't seem to care much: "If it's a secret room, then there must be a secret passage, or the NPC will automatically open it after certain conditions are met."
Gu Meng sighed: "I can't see the door, I always feel unreliable, and I feel a little flustered."
Bo Ye chuckled lightly: "With us here, why panic?"
Gu Meng raised her eyes and looked opposite.
Tang Zhi probably had a hard time swallowing, but he was concerned about Bo Ye's gaze, so he had difficulty eating small bites. Bo Ye scratched his chin and smiled softly: "Don't be squeamish, eat quickly."
He looked to the side again. Enjin pursed her lips tightly and kept staring at his left hand, not knowing what was bothering her.
Gu Meng instantly settled down.
Indeed, with these sincere and warm people around, why panic.
…
After a good meal, they walked out of the cafeteria and went to the hall on the first floor to verify their conjectures.
Gu Meng made a circle around the outside of the first floor. There were all walls and no gates. It was certain that the entire hospital was a secret room. Looking out through the window, the weather was gloomy, no car passed by on the road in front of the hospital, and the parking lot was very empty, a typical wilderness.
Passing the door of the first waiting room, suddenly a little boy who was not as tall as his waist jumped in front of him, startling Gu Meng.
The little boy is about seven or eight years old, wearing a red hoodie, with milky white skin, just a blink of his big round eyes, black and bright, with obvious double eyelids, will arouse the love of his father, but his eyes are staring blankly. Some people have scalp numbness.
Gu Meng coughed lightly to cover up her gaffe, looked around, saw that there was no one else, squatted down and held the little boy's shoulders and pulled him closer. Due to her professional habits, she unconsciously lowered her voice when facing the child: "What's your name, kid? Why are you alone? At this?"
The little boy's eyes turned around his face, followed by a slight focus, locked his eyes, took out a pencil and a small sketchbook from the pocket of the hoodie, lowered his head, and held the pen on the paper write.
Because of the close distance, Gu Meng could clearly hear the "rustling" sound of the pencil scratching on the paper.
After a while, the boy turned the sketchbook to Gu Meng, showing the immature handwriting on it—
[Your eyes are so beautiful.]
The "eye" of "eye" is also written as "qing" by mistake.
Gu Meng looked at it and laughed: "Thank you, but you haven't answered my question yet, what's your name?"
The boy didn't speak, just stared at his eyes, the big eyes were silent, whether it was an illusion or the oppressive atmosphere, Gu Meng felt that those eyes were not looking at a living thing, but looking at... an object.
A chill ran up his spine, he stood up abruptly, took a step back, and reassessed the danger of this little boy.
"Oh, Fang Fang! Why are you running around again?" The sound of high-heeled shoes sounded heavy and steady, and Yu Chunjiao appeared in time. around.
The little boy looked up at her, pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes instantly returned to the innocence of a child.
"We can't do this again in the future. Doctors and nurses have to work. You will disturb them by running around in the hospital." After Yu Chunjiao educated the little boy, she looked at Gu Meng apologetically, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Little Meng, I'm so sorry, this is Dean Jin's grandson, Jin Fang, who used to live in the hospital with Dean Jin, and Dean Jin just passed away not long ago, and the little guy is waiting for his family to pick him up in the past few days."
After hearing Dean Jin again and again, he should be the key person. Gu Meng wanted to take the opportunity to ask for details, but Yu Chunjiao rushed in front of him and said, "I will take Fang Fang up first, you are busy with your work, don't bother me." .”
Gu Meng had no choice but to say goodbye to them.
After watching the man disappear around the corner, Yu Chunjiao led Jin Fang to the waiting room.
On the way, the two walked very slowly, the head nurse's voice became hoarse and gloomy, and said, "Don't worry, it's all yours."
While talking, two female players walked towards him, one in a white coat and the other in a nurse's uniform.
Seeing them, the white coat was startled, and took the lead to say: "Head nurse, who is this little boy?"
Yu Chunjiao immediately laughed and said loudly, "Dean Jin's grandson is waiting for his family to pick him up soon."
"it's so cute."
"Look at how good he looks."
The two women were a little excited and kept admiring.
Jin Fang's eyes wandered between the two for a while, and he stepped forward, opened the sketchbook and faced the woman in the white coat.
[Your eyes are so beautiful.]
The white coat opened his eyes slightly, blushed, and smiled at Jin Fang.
When Gu Meng arrived at the front desk on the first floor, the three of Enjin were already standing there waiting.
Bo Ye: "How is it? Did you see the door?"
Gu Meng shook her head and said, "I didn't find the door, but I met Dean Jin's grandson on the way, named Jin Fang. That kid seems a bit... autistic."
Then, he said the matter exactly.
Tang Zhi asked: "When will his family come to pick him up?"
Gu Meng helplessly spread her hands: "I don't know."
Bo Ye looked around the hall, saw that there was nothing to pay attention to, and suggested: "Go up first, and look at each floor."
There was a glass tray in the corner of the front desk, which contained fruit candy. Before leaving, Tang Zhi grabbed a handful and put it in the pocket of his white coat.
…
If you don't count the two basement floors, the hospital has five floors.
The structure of the second and third floors is almost the same as that of the first floor, with complete departments, including two operating rooms on the third floor. The fourth floor is the inpatient department, with a total of more than 20 wards, and it is also the player's residence. The fifth floor is the administrative staff office.
After turning around, the administrator's office could not be entered, and there was nothing to see in the places that could be entered. Soon it was 6:40 in the evening, and most players chose to return to their rooms on the fourth floor.
The doctors collectively locked down the doors at seven o'clock, and they didn't want to stay outside for too long, lest they bump into something they shouldn't, and they still can't escape. Although the four nurses were able to work in the hospital until ten o'clock, two of them were newcomers, so naturally they didn't dare to hang out in the hospital where there was no one in the middle of the night.
There are two beds in one room, and there is a separate bathroom. The walls are moldy and black, and there are bloodstains everywhere. Although it is scary, it is the only place to live.
Gu Meng and En Jin live in a room, next door to Bo Ye and Tang Zhi.
After taking a bath, Bo Ye stood bare-chested and stood beside the bed to change the sheets. Tang Zhi came out of the bathroom, his white and tender face was flushed red from steam, he glanced at the bed by the window, the sheets were covered with mildew spots, he went to Bo Ye's bed on the other side without saying a word, and said, "Sleep together."
Of course Bo Ye had no objection.
The two turned off the lights early and lay face to face on the bed.
It seemed to be raining outside, and the sound of "patter dripping" continued, which made people feel very uncomfortable. The lingering dampness climbed up the skin through the sheets, and the whole body seemed to be moldy.
In the darkness, Tang Zhi closed his eyes, frowned uncomfortably, with a look of patience. For some reason, the back of the neck, which was exposed in the air, always had a cold breath.
He leaned towards Bo Ye.
Bo Ye asked him softly: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
Tang Zhi opened his eyes and looked up at the bathroom.
The bathroom door was open at the moment, and a mirror above the sink was facing the door. The moisture had not yet dissipated, and a layer of white mist was faintly covering it.
Looking at the cloud of white mist, Tang Zhi was a little scared, and said in a soft voice, "Honey, go and close the bathroom door, okay?"
Bo Ye smiled and scratched the tip of his nose: "Aren't you usually very courageous?"
Being ridiculed by the man, Tang Zhi was not happy, he raised his face and bit violently, biting the skin of Bo Ye's fingers.
Bo Ye had no choice but to get up to close the bathroom door. He held the doorknob. Before closing the door, he looked around in the small and dark bathroom, and his eyes finally fell on the mirror.
Perhaps because of the light, only the outline of the figure was reflected in the mirror, and he did not see his own face clearly in the mirror.
The door was gradually closed, and the moment the lock sounded, a black figure flashed in the foggy mirror.
After that, the image of the waning moon outside the window in the mirror gradually became clear.
The author has something to say:
Black figure: As long as I flash fast enough, the protagonist group will not be able to catch up with me.
