[Extra mission ③ is triggered. Do you want to accept the mission?]
[Tip ①: In addition to the main mission, for every additional mission completed, the final mission reward will increase by one level.]
[Tip ②: Once the additional task is triggered by the player and chooses to accept it, the player must complete the task. If he does not accept the task or the task fails, the final task reward will drop by one level.]
[Tip ③: In view of the extreme difficulty of this additional task, if the player chooses not to accept the task, the final task reward level will not be reduced.]
[Task description: Prevent the birth of the Lord of Ghost Stories.]
—He directly skipped Extra Task One and Task Two, triggering Extra Task Three.
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbability: Chapter 1360 Chapter 441 The Balance between Diseases (4k)
The appearance of the system prompt further confirmed Bai Zhi's previous speculation.
The current system mandatory tasks, in addition to the seven days of survival of the main task, there are also three additional tasks that have not been triggered. Bai Zhi did not expect that he could directly trigger the extra tasks ③.
…prevent the birth of the Lord of Ghost Stories
Recalling the little girl whose face was covered with smiley marks that the shadow puppet had seen at the cost of his own life, Bai Zhi's expression turned slightly subtle for a while.
That purple-haired lolita who only plays with other people's heads like balls, could she be the quasi-ghost-story master of this world
The unraveling of an old mystery is often accompanied by the emergence of several other new mysteries.
Hospitals, doctors, nurses, patients... the hidden truth of this world may be far more complicated than he imagined.
"Okay, the other party has left, we can go out."
After secretly recovering the shadow puppet's headless body, Bai Zhi regained his ghost realm.
Because the shadow puppet's head was taken away, he would not be able to summon a new shadow puppet for a long time in the future... at least until the opponent found a new ball.
But as the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Also because of the connection between him and the shadow puppet, as long as the shadow puppet's head is not discarded, he can sense it in advance once the other party appears near him.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
As Bai Zhi recovered the ghost realm, everyone quickly returned to the hall.
"...Fortunately, it's not his head."
After quickly walking closer and taking a look at the head that was thrown quite casually in the hall, Brian Silver was obviously relieved.
To be honest, although with the strength of the opponent, it was impossible for him to overturn in the ditch at the beginning, he was really worried that his teammates would immediately declare a dog lead at the beginning.
"Don't waste time. Which floor is he on? Let's go straight up to find him."
Bai Zhi walked straight towards the elevator with a concise expression on his face.
"Also, I asked you to collect all the information about the diseases before. Whether you can solve the problem of your own symptoms depends on that."
He could vaguely feel that as he had used psychic powers many times before, the disease in his body was already on the verge of getting worse... He didn't want to go into that crematorium again.
Since Brian Silver used the elevator just now, it can at least be confirmed that the elevator is safe. If there is a shortcut, he will naturally take the shortcut.
Due to what he had done before, no one had any objections to this, and coupled with the psychological shadow of almost facing the final boss, no one spoke for a while.
A few minutes later, a group of five people arrived on the sixth floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, the figure of Baiye Priest wearing glasses appeared outside the elevator.
In this situation, it seemed as if he knew in advance that they would come up, so he waited here specifically for them.
"Come to my side."
Without saying too much nonsense, after a slight nod to Bai Zhi, Bai Yeji turned around and walked towards the corridor.
Unlike other dark floors, the visibility here at Baiye Sacrifice is quite high. Every once in a while, a luminous gem is adsorbed on the wall.
These gems seemed to be small lighting props that the other party had deliberately made in the past, so they were laid without any distress, showing the style of a rich man.
Not long after, a few of them arrived at a room.
The layout of the room is no different from other wards. It is a closed space with no windows and only doors. However, in the corner of this ward, there is an electric shock chair.
"My symptoms have been basically suppressed."
After closing the door again with his backhand, he stretched out his hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and Priest Baiye spoke.
"I originally planned to go downstairs, but according to the divination, if I went downstairs at that time, I would die miserably, so I stayed up there... Did something happen downstairs?"
"Divination... no wonder."
After listening to Baiye Sacrifice's words, Muyu Xingzhou seemed a little enlightened.
"I mean, why did you take so long and know that we would take the elevator up? We thought you were cold."
"...What happened down there?"
After a moment of silence, his eyes glanced at Brian Silver's neck, and Priest Baiye asked with a slightly weird expression on his face.
"Also, why is his neck crooked?"
-Although strong glue is said to be very strong, glue is just glue. Because of the incident before, Brian Silver's head was obviously tilted to the side.
"Uh... How should I put it? It's hard to describe the specifics, but if you really choose to come down from the top at that time... maybe it will be gone."
He also glanced at Brian Yin who was standing aside. After thinking for a while, Muyu Xingzhou spoke.
"Before, we almost met the quasi-monster master you told us about before. The other party didn't even show up yet. Just the sound of footsteps made our sanity plummet... Fortunately, he was black and white. The first one responded, otherwise we might have sent it on the spot."
—When talking about the incident just now, Muyu Xingzhou still had a lingering fear on his face.
He and his sister are just players who haven't even obtained a system rating yet. How come they directly encountered an existence of the level of the Lord of Ghost Stories
Even if the mandatory tasks this time include system rating tasks, the difficulty is a bit too exaggerated.
"The quasi-lord of ghost stories...his head was also caused by such a reason?"
Baiye Priest frowned slightly.
"Oh no, that's because his super glue didn't stick properly."
Baiye Sacrifice: "???"
"When the disease broke out, I was attacked and beheaded by other patients. That patient's disease was [segmentation syndrome]. It was Black and White who saved me, and he gave me the super glue to glue my head on."
While trying to straighten his head with both hands, as if he didn't want to focus the attention of the question on himself, Brian answered in a sullen voice and also changed the subject.
"You said just now that your symptoms were suppressed. How did you do that?"
“…hedging between pathologies.”
With a slightly subtle look on his face, Bai Yejie glanced at Bai Zhi's body and answered the questions raised by his teammates.
"The conflict and opposition between diseases can maintain a balance of diseases in the body, thereby achieving the purpose of suppressing your own symptoms... You should have suppressed your own diseases, right?"
The last words he said were to Bai Zhi.
"To be precise, no. There was something urgent before."
Spreading his hands, Bai Zhi shrugged slightly.
Although he had speculated on this method before, due to what happened with the school beauty at that time, he didn't have any extra time at all, so he simply postponed it.
—When Bai Zhi said these words, Ling Xiaoyiyou couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at him.
"Sickness hedging...are you going to kill other patients?"
At this time, Mu Yu Xingzhou on the side couldn't help but started to ask.
"Those patients themselves are already very pitiful. If you want to..."
"Have you ever gotten to know them?"
Interrupting her words unceremoniously, Priest Baiye turned his head and glanced at her lightly.
"Put away your boring sympathy. If you had understood them, if you had tried to have a conversation with them, then you would not have asked such a stupid question now."
Let’s not mention those patients who are in extreme danger and escape from the ward, but for those patients who stay in the ward and linger because of their illnesses, their biggest wish in this life is to get a long sleep.
—Just like the patient with syrinx syndrome that Bai Zhi talked to before.
You want to die but you can't, and you can only endure the torture and pain of the diseases that come to you all the time... This is something more terrifying than death.
For those patients, death is their only salvation.
Mu Yu Xingzhou: "..."
"Ahem... Okay, now that you know how to suppress your symptoms, let's hurry up."
As if he deliberately wanted to teach his sister a lesson, after waiting patiently for a while, until his sister was about to cry, Muyu Xingzhou started coughing. The roundabout.
"Diseases that can counteract and balance your own symptoms may not necessarily exist on your own floor, so everyone should collect all the information. Relieving and suppressing your own symptoms is just the beginning. The highlight is yet to come.”
You know, leaving aside the three additional tasks that no one has triggered yet, the main task is to let them survive here for seven days.
In a survival mission like this, it is well known that the difficulty of survival becomes higher the further you go. This was just the beginning of the first day, and they had encountered so many things one after another. It was hard to imagine what would happen in the future.
If you don't seize the time to control your illness, you may not have such leisure time in the future.
As a player, even if you are not in the intelligence school, with the addition of profession and talent core, the attribute of intelligence will never be too low.
Once the intelligence attribute exceeds 25 points, photographic memory is just the most basic ability.
In this way, after spending almost two hours, Ling Xiaoyi unified all the cases into a book under the narration of others.
She is personally best at statistical clerical work like this.
Because they had to deal with their own illnesses, everyone temporarily used Bai Ye Si's ward as a gathering point. This kind of statistical work was also completed here.
"…spontaneous combustion?"
Bai Zhi looked thoughtful as he looked at a medical case copied by Ling Xiaoyi in his hand.
[NO.13014 Spontaneous combustion]
[Body temperature continues to rise.]
[The temperature can rise to a maximum of more than 200 degrees, and the patient will become a furnace and affect the surrounding body.]
[Fire will ignite inside the body.]
[Patients will experience extremely severe pain and burning.]
[When the condition is severe, the fire rising inside the body will completely burn the inside until the patient is burned to coke.]
[There is no specific medicine and no cure.]
[The patient should be placed in a cold environment, the air conditioner in the ward should be turned on at all times, and ice cubes should be added to the room regularly at regular intervals.]
Judging from these cases alone, there are five or six diseases that can correspond to his [Ice Crystal Syndrome], but the most consistent one among them is [Spontaneous Combustion Syndrome].
The consequences of the two diseases coming together are a little hard to say at the moment, but no matter how you say it, it will be better than what it is now.
Not only Bai Zhi, but also Ling Xiaoyi's [Hundred Flowers Syndrome], he also reluctantly found a more suitable symptom... maybe
[NO.3580 Disappearance of Limbs]
[Arms, eyes, ears, nose, mouth.]
[Every once in a while, part of the patient's limbs will disappear out of thin air.]
[The missing limbs seem as if they never existed from the beginning.]
[There will be no wounds where it disappears.]
[The eyes disappear, as if there have been no eyes since birth, and the light will be lost from now on.]
[The disappearance of the arm is equivalent to being born with a disability.]
[If the mouth disappears, the ability to eat will be lost.]
[The missing limbs, no one knows where they went.]
[When the disease is severe, not only the external limbs, but also the internal organs will begin to disappear, and eventually the whole person will disappear completely.]
