The other party will fall into the trap, which means that others will fall into the trap as well.
Unless they possess talents like Bai Zhi's and can see through those things, it will only be a matter of time before they are tricked. That level of mimicry is truly flawless.
Of course, one cannot generalize between people. Even if Bai Zhi is turned into something, he can still find a way to get out of it...
"Well...just this one."
In the dark corridor, he stopped in front of the door of a ward. Looking at the medical records posted on the door, Bai Zhi nodded.
[NO.1234 Cavity Syndrome]
[Cavities will appear one after another on the patient’s body.]
[The holes that appear will penetrate the flesh and blood, forming holes one after another through which the other side can be seen through the body.]
[Where there is a cavity in the patient's body, all flesh and blood will disappear without any wounds, as if they were born there.]
[The occurrence of a cavity does not affect the patient's physical condition and internal organ function, even if there is a cavity in the heart.]
[The size of the cavity is as big as the middle finger, and occasionally smaller holes may appear. The patient will not feel any pain due to the appearance of the cavity.]
[If there is a hole in the eye, the patient's vision will disappear and he will become a disabled person who is born with incomplete vision.]
[If the mouth is filled with holes, the patient will lose the ability to eat and can only supplement physical nutrition through intravenous drip. At the same time, the patient will also lose the ability to communicate.]
[External organs will be affected by cavities, but internal organs that disappear due to the appearance of cavities will not.]
[Every time there are more holes in the body, part of the patient's emotions will disappear, and finally he will be close to a completely rational state.]
[When the condition is severe, holes will appear all over the body, and eventually the whole person will disappear completely.]
[There is no specific medicine and no cure.]
[The patient should be placed in a separate room and all the requirements of the other person's life should be met as much as possible.]
Below the medical records, pictures showing several states of the patient's illness looked particularly scary in this dark environment.
The densely packed holes in the patient's body are enough to make a trypophobic patient go crazy on the spot.
But compared with other weird diseases, patients suffering from "cavitary syndrome" can be regarded as the best-selling ones.
On the third floor, Bai Zhi had explored it one by one before. Now that he was revisiting his old place, it wasn't because of an outbreak of illness or because he wanted to deepen his impression. He had other things to do.
— Communicate with these patients.
If according to his own inference, this is the lair used by the Lord of Kaitan to cultivate new Kaitan, then the style of this lair would be a bit inconsistent.
Regardless of the professional items and props provided for each patient, the descriptions on the medical records are also very suspicious. This is not a place to raise a cup, but more like a professional treatment and shelter. place.
If this place was built by players and humans in this world, then there must be traces of them left in these buildings.
In this case, communicating with the patient to obtain information is the best option.
And the current [Cavity Syndrome] is the most suitable patient that Bai Zhi has found among the thirteen wards on the third floor besides himself. The others have either drastically changed their temperaments or completely lost the ability to communicate. If they have Cavity Syndrome, , the more serious the condition is, the more rational you will become, which is a rare breakthrough.
Like his room, this ward was also unlocked.
So soon, as the door quietly opened, a beam of orange light quietly came out from the crack of the door...
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbability: Chapter 1354 Chapter 436 Patients and Infection (4k)
Different from what Bai Zhi expected, the layout of the room seemed unexpectedly warm.
Unlike his ward, which was more like a torture chamber, this ward was decorated like a study, with neat rows of bookshelves reaching the top, a small bed filled with books, and a Desk with lamp.
On the bookcase facing the small bed, there is a photo of a family of five. The background of the photo is a dark and desperate world like the doomsday sky, but the family of five in the photo is smiling extremely brightly.
The soft orange light is the main color in the entire room. Behind the desk, a figure wearing a black woolen coat is sitting there with a book in his hand.
When Bai Zhi saw this figure for the first time, he felt nauseated for no reason.
Putting aside the body that was covered by clothes, the opponent's entire face was densely covered with holes. At first glance, there were at least thirty or forty holes in them.
But if it were just like this, it wouldn't be a big deal, but among the holes unevenly distributed on the face, at least half of the holes were densely packed with maggots.
The fat white worms regarded those small holes as their own nests, squeezing in and out... It was an almost disgusting scene of penetration.
Compared with the scene in front of me, empty fingers, lotus pods, etc. are not on the same level at all.
The patient sitting behind the desk did not care about the maggots that were directly building their nests in the cavities of his body. Apart from occasionally picking off a few maggots that crawled near his eye sockets and blocked his sight, he Basically, I won’t care too much about it.
The desk is filled with all kinds of books, and there are several plates on the left side of the desk. The food on the plates has become rotten due to being piled up for too long, and is so dense that it is no longer recognizable. White insect eggs are distributed among them, which is where the maggots were born.
With just a face like this, it's hard to imagine how disgusting the other party's body must be under the scarred body covered by clothes.
"Finally here? Nurse, I need... hmm? A patient?"
Noticing the movement at the door, the patient sitting at the desk raised his head and looked towards him. With his movement, his face suddenly became sparse with large white worms rolling down from it. .
"According to the hospital's rules, patients are strictly prohibited from going out. You violated the rules."
"This hospital is finished. At least I didn't see any doctors or nurses."
Bai Zhi did not choose to get close to the desk, but stopped at the door.
"Judging from the spoilage of the food, it seems that you haven't had a doctor visit you for a long time, right?"
"As long as hospitals exist, doctors must exist."
The patient stopped turning the book manually and looked up at him. There was no emotion in his tone, and the intervals and pauses between each word were as strict as a machine.
"Before the doctor arrives, the patient had better return to his room honestly, otherwise he will be punished, and patients are not allowed to visit each other."
"We'll talk about this kind of thing later. I have a few questions in my mind right now. Can you answer them for me?"
Secretly remembering what the other party said in his heart, Bai Zhi waved his hand.
"As a courtesy, you help me answer the questions, and I can also help you with a few favors as appropriate. What do you think?"
"… What do you want to know?"
After a moment of silence, the patient raised his head and looked at him.
"Players from another world, you shouldn't waste your time with me."
"Sure enough, you can guess these..."
Looking at the patient in front of him, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"How did your world evolve into such a situation?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"In the final analysis, we players are too weak. What's the point of talking about what happened in the past?"
Turning his eyes back to the book in front of him, the patient's tone was terrifyingly calm.
"People die every day, people escape every day, people are infected with diseases every day, and people become monsters every day. From the moment the battle line was lost, the world has seen its desperate ending."
"Then what's the origin of this hospital? How did you end up here?"
Listening to the other party's words, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"In that situation, where can you escape to?"
"The last line of defense collapsed first, and the system of our world collapsed last. Before the system of our world completely collapses, all players with an epic rating and above will have the best chance to escape from this world. , and only they have this opportunity.”
Stretching out his thick-gloved hands to remove a few fat white maggots that had crawled into his eye sockets, the patient responded in a calm tone.
"The collapse of our world is a foregone conclusion. Those ghost stories have begun their own fighting and fighting. We, who were sentenced to a reprieve of death, have been given the last bit of time to survive."
"...Are you a player too?"
Suddenly his heart moved slightly, and Bai Zhi asked the other party.
"Yes, but I'm too weak. With only level 17, I can't help at all at that time. But even though I'm like this, I'm still regarded as a hero by my family."
After closing the book and standing up from the chair, the patient went to the bookcase and took down the family photo that was placed on the bookcase, and then placed it on the desk.
"I was lucky. Even at that time, my family members were still alive. In the last days, I spent the last time with them and then took this photo."
"They should love you very much."
Looking at the family photo in front of him, which was obviously taken under the most desperate background, but was smiling brightly, Bai Zhi nodded.
"I loved them too, so after this photo was taken, I killed them."
When talking about these past events, the patient's tone seemed quite calm from beginning to end.
-The holes that appeared on his body deprived him of most of his emotions.
"Rather than become a monster, I would rather die happily as a human being, but I can't. Beings like me are only worthy of being torn apart by those things in battle, and then falling into eternal darkness."
Putting the photo on a slightly cleaner place on the table, the patient raised his head and looked at him.
"But when I woke up again from the darkness, I existed in this ward as a patient. This was my past."
"..."
Listening to the other party's desperate story of the past told in the calmest tone, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel silent for a while.
His previous guess was not wrong. The patients in these hospitals were the original aborigines of this world.
"I don't know how long I stayed in this ward, and I don't have the mind to calculate it. As holes appeared one after another in my body, I began to lose human emotions bit by bit. I didn't I don’t feel sorry for this, but I feel a little lucky, at least I won’t feel pain anymore.”
He came back to sit behind the desk again, and the patient's tone was as calm as ever.
"I don't know who built these hospitals, and I don't know what the world has become. All those doctors and nurses are wearing thick protective suits and can't see their faces. They only meet some of my daily needs. Other than that, they don’t interact with me much at all.”
"But I didn't see a doctor outside, and all the lights in the corridors were destroyed, and many dangerous patients ran out of the wards."
Listening to the words of the patient in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although the other party's story said it helped him answer a few questions, more questions popped up.
If the situation in this world is really as he expected, and the hospital they are in now is also the monster breeding nest of the master of ghost stories, then not only the cases cannot be explained, but the doctors and nurses can't explain it either. Can't explain it.
Prepare food, meet daily needs, work hard to prevent the patient's condition from worsening, and try to research a specific medicine to cure the disease... No matter what, it has nothing to do with the Lord of Strange Tales.
The core of his personal talent is [Trust]. After being inspired by Ye Ran'er's use of her own [Deception] talent core, although he has not yet developed any other decent uses, there are some more obscure uses. He has still developed the ability.
-For example, he can easily tell whether the other party is lying.
This ability is derived from his innate skills. Although it seems to be of little use, it can play a very good role in certain situations.
The words spoken by the patient in front of me are completely true.
Since there were no errors or deceptions in what the other party said, then where have all the doctors and nurses who should have been in this hospital gone
"I don't know, I've never been out."
Turning his head and looking at the puddle of food on the table that had completely rotted and grown with white flower maggots, the patient answered calmly.
"Maybe the doctor hasn't been here for a long time, but as long as the hospital exists, the doctor will definitely not disappear. But I accidentally heard the nurse talk about it before. I have told you everything I can tell you, you If you continue to stay here, you will only be wasting time."
"…Thank you very much."
After a moment of pondering, Bai Zhi nodded.
"As a courtesy, what do you need now? If it's food, I still have some here."
"No need. Since the time when doctors and nurses gradually stopped showing up, I have found that I no longer need energy supplements from food. Now that the disease has worsened to this stage, I may have become a monster. .”
Shaking his head slightly, the patient raised his head and looked at him.
"If you're really going to repay me, I want you to kill me."
"you sure?"
Looking at the patient in front of him, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"Do you think there is any point in surviving for me now?"
Letting those fat white worms crawl around in the holes in his body, the patient calmly spoke.
"I have thought about committing suicide, but patients like me who are infected by the disease are deprived of the right to commit suicide. Only external forces can kill us."
"..."
Bai Zhi didn't answer immediately. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the patient in front of him.
