The strange rules in the game, in the mirror world, every 10:45 in the evening, the hospital will be filled with water, counting from the second basement floor to the top floor of the fifth floor, as for when the water on the entire seven floors will recede, Players have no way of knowing.
The water was already down to the neck, and the six people worked together to open the door, wading through the water to the central hall on the first floor, aiming at the main entrance of the hospital.
Cheng Jiaojiao is short to prevent being submerged too quickly. She put on her high heels and walked hard in the water while brushing away the long hair sticking to her face. She was upset: "I can definitely get out, right? Make sure the door is open." Can the card be swiped to open that door? If we are tricked by that child NPC, we will all drown here."
"Bah, bah, don't be crowed." Chen Jiahao was flustered when he heard that, his feet almost slipped into the water, and he thumped twice, "There's nothing wrong, we're all at the door, what else can happen? "
While the two were talking back and forth, the water level continued to rise, Cheng Jiaojiao raised her head, and her feet could no longer touch the bottom.
Gu Meng is 1.8 meters tall, and it's hard enough to stand at the moment. She said: "Swim over, swim over quickly."
Chen Jiahao didn't know how to swim, so he jumped up and said anxiously: "Hey, who will take me!"
Gu Meng had no choice but to grab his arm and swim towards the door with difficulty, feeling like dragging a bundle of water-filled pork.
No one in the group expected that when they were about to reach the door, an accident happened.
Gu Meng led Chen Jiahao at a slow speed and fell behind the team. At this time, the water had already risen to a height of three meters.
Suddenly, the four people in front heard Chen Jiahao yelling in a hurry, followed by the sound of water splashing violently.
Enjin turned around, steadied Chen Jiahao to prevent him from drowning, looked around, and said in a cold tone, "Where's Gu Meng?"
Chen Jiahao coughed a few times, his face was covered with water and he couldn't open his eyes. He pointed down with one hand: "Water... water... There is someone under the water, just rushed over and knocked Gu Meng away..."
Before finishing speaking, Enjin let go of her hand and dived into the water.
Chen Jiahao screamed again, grabbed the air with his hands indiscriminately, and sank again.
As soon as Bo Ye arrived at the door, he had to turn back when he heard the movement from behind, picked up Chen Jiahao, handed it to Tang Zhi, and then dived down to find Gu Meng.
Cheng Jiaojiao quickly glanced at the front door which was close at hand, and shouted to Bo Ye: "What about the door card?"
"Find a safe place to stay first." Bo Ye ordered and dived into the water.
Under the water, two white figures were fighting close to each other. Upon closer inspection, one could find that one had strangled the other by the neck, and was firmly pressed to the bottom of the water.
Enjin's eyes sank, and she quickly swam over and grabbed the man above him by the back collar and dragged him away. Bo Ye followed closely and rescued Gu Meng who was sinking in the water.
After Gu Meng came to the surface, she spat out a big mouthful of water. She looked rather dazed in the hypoxic state, but she never forgot the business.
He hugged a pillar, took out the white door card from his pocket, and said dying, "Open the door."
Enjin quickly swam up after finishing the water ghost.
Coming to Gu Meng's side, seeing that he was very weak, he raised his hand to caress his face, and asked worriedly, "Do you need artificial respiration?"
"Ah?" Gu Meng was still not very sober, she didn't react when she hugged the pillar.
Enjin moved closer and repeated: "Artificial respiration."
Gu Meng was completely awake, shaking her head and waving her hands: "No, no, I'm fine, everything is normal, and I'm in good health."
Unexpectedly, Enjin sighed, resting her forehead on the pillar, lowering her eyelashes slightly.
Gu Meng: "..."
Seeing your little appearance, you are quite lost.
At this time, the water was almost touching the ceiling, and the chest was pressed against the water, and everyone felt more or less difficult to breathe.
Chen Jiahao grabbed the horizontal bar above the door and did not let go, shouting loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up! Come and someone open the door! This place is going to be flooded!"
Cheng Jiaojiao became irritable when she heard his voice: "Shut up!"
The credit card machine was already submerged by the water, and Bo Ye dived into the water, Tang Zhi took a deep breath and followed him.
The underwater environment is blue and very quiet, with only the water gurgling past the ears, and the pillars, tables, chairs and other facilities soaked in the water are all magnified in a circle.
Tang Zhi held the doorknob with one hand, waited for Bo Ye on the other side to slide the door card through the card slot, then pushed the door outwards, pushed twice, and frowned as if he had discovered something.
Bo Ye saw Tang Zhi tugging at the door, but he couldn't open the door for a long time, his heart slipped from a bad premonition, and he swam to his side to work together with him.
Above, the water level was still 20 centimeters away from the ceiling. Chen Jiahao raised his face, greedily sucked up the little air left, and asked anxiously, "The door...why hasn't the door been opened yet? Is it okay?"
Cheng Jiaojiao was also unbearably choked, and from time to time she lowered her head into the water to take a look, seeing that Bo Ye and Tang Zhi were still unable to open the door, she understood it.
She raised her face, coughed a few times, and said dejectedly: "The door can't be opened, we still have time to go up now, go to the fourth floor, go back to the original place... at least we won't be drowned."
Gu Meng just approached, and after hearing her words, she was surprised: "Can't you open it?"
At this time, the two men under the water surfaced together.
Bo Ye wiped his face, his expression was a bit ugly: "I swiped the card, but the door can't be opened."
Gu Meng couldn't believe it, and said: "But Jin Fang said that his card can open all the doors of the hospital!"
Cheng Jiaojiao snorted, "NPCs can lie too."
When Gu Meng thought about it, her complexion also turned ugly.
Indeed, their last game was a huge lie, and none of the key NPCs told the truth.
Tang Zhi looked around the surrounding environment, thoughtfully: "There is another possibility... The main entrance of the hospital is not an escape exit."
One word awakens the dreamer.
But as soon as the words fell, the water surface rose in vain, and the remaining 20 cm gap was instantly filled with water, and the first floor was completely submerged.
Everything happened so suddenly, Cheng Jiaojiao and Chen Jiahao opened their eyes wide, expressions of panic and fear appeared on their faces, fortunately, they had enough breath before the incident happened, and they could last for a while.
Tang Zhi pursed his lips tightly, his expression was a little strange, he blinked, then lowered his head, his precious little face was tense, as if he was enduring something.
Gu Meng noticed his strangeness, and was about to make gestures to ask, but saw Bo Ye grabbed Tang Zhi, turned his face and pressed his lips against his.
The others silently looked away, knowing that the two of them were breathing.
Cheng Jiaojiao pointed to the direction of the safe passage, motioned for herself to go there, and then walked upstairs.
Although Gu Meng didn't want to give up at this point, the facts proved that the door couldn't be opened, and she couldn't think of any other way to get stuck here for the time being.
At this moment, there was a sound of mechanism above the heads of the six people, and there was a lot of movement.
They all looked up and saw that there was an air vent on the ceiling, and the louvered protective cover automatically slid open to the right, revealing a square gate with a combination lock next to it.
Everyone cheered up, and gathered around at the same time, and found that there were twenty-six letters on the keyboard, indicating that the password was a combination of letters and did not contain numbers.
Almost the moment he saw the combination lock, Tang Zhi responded, "Nevermore."
Naturally, he cannot make a sound in the water, but everyone can understand his mouth shape.
Cheng Jiaojiao nodded excitedly. This was the clue she got this morning, so she was very impressed. Hearing from Enjin that this was the last clue, there was a high probability that it was the pass code.
Tang Zhi pressed the keys on the combination lock with his face up, but when he pressed the seventh digit, he couldn't enter it no matter what.
Obviously, this is another six-digit code.
With ups and downs in his mood, and in the suffocating environment, Chen Jiahao's mentality collapsed first, he let out a breath accidentally, and then sank straight down, pinching his own neck, with a very painful expression on his face.
Gu Meng was about to go down to get him, when he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, his eyes moved over, and the scene that caught his eyes made him panic instantly, and he clung to Enjin's body with hands and feet.
In the hall below, a group of monsters poured in from all directions, and there were hundreds of them at a glance.
They seemed not to be affected by the water at all, and they were walking along the marble floor in the water-filled environment, gathering together towards the door, staring at the few people on the ceiling, each with malicious intentions.
Chen Jiahao sank to the floor of the hall, and before he could get out of the suffocation, a monster walked up to him, bent down and grabbed one of his arms and legs, grinning grinningly, and tore at both sides.
Chen Jiahao writhed violently in the water, like a dying fish, the dense blisters rising continuously.
The monsters around him were gathering more and more densely, and the number was astonishing. Looking at it made the scalp tingle, and the people above obviously couldn't go down to rescue it.
After a while, a large pool of dark blood spewed out from the middle of the monster, and the blood changed its shape in the water and spread out, slowly rising in strands until reaching the ceiling.
Cheng Jiaojiao avoided a thread of blood in horror, perhaps stimulated by the scene of dismembering the corpse below, she suddenly pushed Tang Zhi under the gate, who was trying the password, in a frenzy, and kept pounding on the steel gate.
Tang Zhi was caught off guard, and before he could stabilize his figure after being knocked away in the water, he suddenly felt his ankle tighten.
Lowering his head, a woman with stitches all over her face grabbed him and opened her mouth eeriely at him.
The woman's body sank, dragging Tang Zhi directly into the pile of monsters below.
When Gu Meng saw it, his heart sank. Before he could react, Bo Ye beside him turned around in the water, swam down at a very fast speed, and squeezed into the middle of the monster from the outside.
Gu Meng gritted her teeth and turned around to go down. Although she knew she was outnumbered, it was impossible for him to watch Bo Ye and Tang Zhi be torn apart.
Enjin looked down, and then at the gate on the ceiling. This time, instead of following, she went under the gate first.
Cheng Jiaojiao has been ripped off a long time ago and is nowhere to be seen now, but Enjin doesn't care about her situation at all.
He stared at the combination lock, propped his left hand on the ceiling, and tapped his index finger and ring finger alternately for a while, then pressed the first code with the other hand, knocked for a while, and pressed the second... That's it, slowly Slowly put together the six letters and press the confirm button.
The turntable on the gate slowly turned, and finally flicked, and it was lifted upwards.
Obviously it is midnight in the hospital now, but after the gate is opened, there is a blue sky and daylight on the top, and warm sunlight shines into the water.
Enjin didn't stay long after unlocking the lock, and immediately turned around and swam downward, where the pile of monsters had already gathered into a hill.
As soon as Gu Meng got close to the group of men and women with strange shapes, he was dragged in by a hand. Hands were everywhere, pulling his clothes and imprisoning his limbs. The withered vines were tightly bound, and as far as the eyes could see were weird, patchwork faces.
Through the gaps in countless limbs, he saw the two people besieged in the center.
Bo Ye held Tang Zhi tightly in his arms, the tens of thousands of hands couldn't separate the two, the clothes on his back were torn, and many monsters jumped on him and bit him.
Under Bo Ye, one of Tang Zhi's wrists was exposed, hanging limply, and he had already lost consciousness.
Gu Meng struggled towards the middle with all his strength, at this moment his breath was no longer enough to support him, and the suffocation gradually invaded...
When he was in despair, a cloud of black mist spread from between Bo Ye's lips, and many monsters around him also saw it, and tilted their heads to look at the cloud of black mist.
Gu Meng couldn't help opening her eyes wide, her heart trembling violently, she thought: "Fuck!!! Bo Ye is going to transform into a squid?!"
The cloud of black air floated up and down in the water, and gradually took on a personal shape, and its image gradually became three-dimensional.
Petite, black and straight, wearing a blood-stained school uniform.
It's Junko!
Gu Meng was dumbfounded.
Chunzi hovered above many monsters, suddenly raised his left hand, and gradually tightened his five fingers.
The men and women around Bo Ye and Tang Zhi were dominated by some kind of gravitational force, their bodies floated up uncontrollably, rolled into a ball in the water, and kept spinning.
The moment Junzi clenched his hands tightly, the monster was like a ball of paper that was crushed and crumbled together. The head, arms, thighs and other body parts slowly fell in the water and sank to the floor. , sounds very dull underwater.
Creepy.
Bo Ye felt a sudden relief in his body, he took his last breath and took Tang Zhi upstream, the sunlight from the exit penetrated the deep water and shone obliquely on the two of them.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Meng kicked off the woman who was pulling his feet, trying to escape from the crowd, but the oxygen in his chest was completely consumed, and his movements became slow and difficult.
At this time, a hand reached in from the crowd, grabbed him, and dragged him out.
Gu Meng crawled out of the water, rolled to the side and lay on her back, spit several times in succession.
After a while, Enjin also came up.
They went ashore from the exit, and they were on a huge rock at the moment, surrounded by mountains and green bamboos, with the sound of roaring waterfalls in their ears, and bright sunshine above.
Enjin walked to the edge of the rock and took a look, and there was a huge waterfall hanging down below, bottomless.
He turned around and said, "Gu Meng, it's time to go."
Gu Meng waved her hand in a desperate manner: "I can't walk."
I almost suffocated underwater, and I haven't recovered yet.
Enjin became interested, and lay down on top of his head, her eyes were clear and enthusiastic: "Do you need artificial respiration?"
Looking at the upside-down handsome face above, Gu Meng couldn't laugh or cry, and patted his cheek: "Cub, how keen are you on artificial respiration?"
Seeing Gu Meng's moist lips opening and closing, En Jin quietly slipped out the tip of her tongue and licked the corner of her lower lip.
Gu Meng didn't notice his eyes, dragged her body to turn over, climbed up, and when she got to the waterfall, she went crazy: "This game is too unfriendly for people with fear of heights!"
Every time you escape, you have to go through a cliff jump.
Enjin approached from behind, hugged his waist, and fell straight down: "Don't be afraid, I will take you."
"Ahh—Eun Jin—"
"Your father's—I'm not ready yet!!!"
Gu Meng fell into the cliff with his high-decibel cry, and was gradually covered by the sound of the waterfall.
In the morgue on the second basement floor, a hunchbacked figure entered with a cleaning cart.
Slapping on the light on the wall, the temporary worker placed the cart by the wall, took out a black plastic bag, and said softly in an old voice: "Sia, Dad brought a fresh heart, this time it's a little lamb, just now Not long after birth, try... let's try..."
While talking to himself, he walked towards the morgue, and when he looked up, the plastic bag in his hand fell to the ground.
Directly in front of him, a glass jar was quietly placed on the ground, inside which was a human heart.
The temporary worker hurried forward a few steps, bent down, and picked up the jar with trembling hands.
[West Asia]
[The purest heart]
When he saw the words on the label, he shouted excitedly: "Sia! Sia! Dad found your heart! Daughter! Your heart is back! You can't go wrong this time!"
He hurriedly opened the morgue, impatient to install the heart back into the girl's dark chest.
Just when he was about to take out the cold girl, a white card caught his attention.
The white card inlaid with gold was held in the girl's hand.
The temporary worker turned pale with fright, and looked around the morgue warily, suspecting that someone had entered and exited here, but the morgue was empty and cold, without any unnecessary traces.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out the card in the girl's hand, and there were two lines of characters printed in pear blossom script.
[Nevermore!]
[Never return.]
Frowning, thinking that someone was joking with him, he felt displeased in his heart, casually turned the card over to check, but saw the vigorous and powerful characters on the back, and those gray eyes flashed with strange brilliance——
[Dad, thank you for being with me for so many years, I am very happy, but the time is up, I have to go, goodbye Dad, Sia loves you.]
The temporary worker greedily looked at this text over and over again, a smile gradually appeared on his old face, but suddenly, his expression became sad again, he squatted down and hugged the jar of heart, buried his head, and began to cry .
The author has something to say:
With my urine nature, there is a high probability that I will not have time to update tomorrow. I wish you all a happy new year in advance. Remember to save half of the New Year's Eve dinner, and there will be surplus food next year.
I wish you all good results in everything you have worked hard in the past 19 years, good health and no insomnia.
Don't say I'm short, I'm really hard, and I'm afraid.
