The front yard area of the clinic and the external forest showed only slight signs of graying and no living creatures were seen.
The two of them temporarily hid under a broken tree in the front yard.
Observing the main building of the clinic, which was covered in silver moonlight and had gray airflow constantly escaping from its surface.
It was as if the moon was a spotlight, and the clinic was its main target.
After observing for a while, Yi Chen whispered his doubts.
"The longer I observed it, the stranger it felt like this clinic under the moonlight was. It was completely different from the clinic we explored during the day... It seemed to be bigger and deeper, and there was an indescribable sense of disharmony."
Edmund immediately added: "Active, huh?"
"Yes, that's the feeling... It's as if the whole building is slowly coming back to life, like a living thing. If you walk in through the front door, it's like walking into the body of a monster."
Edmund explained briefly:
“That’s what ashification does.
According to rumors, the landform structure or human-leftover buildings in the gray areas that have already formed will change drastically, and even some unreasonable areas will appear.
These areas are more like living things, they wriggle, crawl, and even swallow all intruders.
The graying inside the clinic is already quite serious. I estimate that within a week, this place will officially become a thin gray area. "
After hearing this explanation, Yi Chen became even more confused.
“I have a question… Clearly when we came here today, there was no sign of graying.
Why has the graying reached this level by the middle of the night? Isn’t there an intermediate level?”
However,
The question raised by Yi Chen also troubled Edmund. He had been thinking about it during the time he was observing under the tree.
I bit my nails and made a bold guess:
“To be honest, the ashification will never stop.
This level of graying definitely did not just happen, it has been going on for at least seven days.
I suspect that all this has something to do with the 'moon'... Perhaps due to the appearance of the moon, the two of us were brought into a co-located space."
This speculation reminded Yi Chen of a game setting in his previous life.
“Inside and outside world
Is it possible that only the two of us were affected by the moonlight and were brought inside
Dagbert and Miss Anna were not affected and remained on the surface
That would explain the sudden disappearance.”
When Edmund came to this more likely guess, his expression turned extremely ugly.
“If that’s the case, we’ll probably die here.
A being that can create a co-location space and possesses the characteristics of the moon, at least a seriously ill person, even very close to open source... an important figure who has not been cleared in the "fake moon incident."
Just then,
Little Grape suddenly jumped out, waving his hands, his eyes full of excitement!
"How interesting! If this happens, maybe we can eat 'Moon Grapes'! You guys should work hard and carefully find the guy who created the 'Moon'.
This grape agrees very much with your speculation just now."
Little Grape's slightly humorous words eased the tense atmosphere a little.
Yi Chen also followed this speculation and continued to raise his own doubts.
“If there really was such a strong person, he could have come out and killed us when we were in the clinic and when we were killing the patient on the rooftop just now.
In fact, nothing appeared.
Regarding the co-location space, it is just our current speculation.
Of course! If there really are two overlapping spaces, perhaps the "secret medicine left behind" is here.
Let’s go and take a look inside the clinic.”
"Well, but we must be careful! Once we have found enough clues to prove that there is a terrifying existence behind the clinic that is far more powerful than us, we will immediately terminate the mission and rush to the carriage gathering point."
"Um."
The two set off.
Using the isolation and concealment provided by the clothes, quietly approached the main entrance of the main building.
Yi Chen was in front, Edmund was behind.
It is worth noting that
Although the moonlight can be projected into the interior of the clinic, providing sufficient light.
But the two of them still lit the kerosene lamps.
The flames produced by the burning can not only dispel the darkness, but also separate the weird 'moonlight'.
When they stepped into the lobby on the first floor,
Both of them stood there in a daze, seemingly unable to accept the scene before them.
Gray-Erosion
The transformation taking place inside the clinic was far beyond what the two could have imagined.
1. Some tiny holes and abscess tissue appeared on the surface of the wall, and fluid was constantly flowing out of them.
2. The elevator opposite that should have been broken was completely repaired, but it was painted dark red. Combined with the lights inside, it looked like a big blood-red mouth, waiting for its prey to enter.
3. There was a nurse sitting at the counter, wearing a clean nurse uniform and a white hat, but with a bandage on her face.
Tick-tick~
Blood continued to seep out from between the bandages, revealing a 'bloody face with an open mouth'
The nurse did not have any fingernails, but instead had long, thin needles protruding from the tips of her fingers.
Squeak~ The tabletop was being scraped in a very regular rhythm, making an extremely harsh sound.
Seeing this, Yi Chen and Edmund also took out their weapons and approached the counter.
Just then
The nurse suddenly spoke, and more blood oozed out from the mouth bandage:
“Welcome to Moonlight Clinic, I have been waiting for you here for a long time.
You were able to calmly and decisively avoid Dr. Ma Lin's ward rounds, and later killed Dr. Francis on the rooftop... Your agility and bravery have been recognized by Mr. Lee.
As the head of the Moonlight Clinic, he wants to meet with you. Some things need to be discussed in person, and he may even give you some special rewards.
If you refuse to meet,
You will be trapped forever in the Moonlight Dimension created by Mr. Li, who is the closest being to the Moon Trace.
At the same time, our clinic will mobilize all staff to hunt you down endlessly... until you lose your ability to move, and then perform full-body transformation surgery on you."
While Edmund was still hesitating,
Yi Chen gently put his arm on his shoulder and whispered:
"Our speculation was correct. The existence of a suspected seriously ill person created this co-location space. And the two of us were drawn in for some unknown reason.
The nurse's words just now are enough to show that they knew everything about our actions from the beginning.
They chose to test our strength instead of killing us outright... Obviously they have a certain 'need' for us.
Choosing 'meet' is the only chance to survive.
I have experience in communicating and cooperating with patients, so I will be responsible for the "meeting" from now on. 』
"OK… "
With no better options, Edmund had no choice but to agree.
Yi Chen took a step forward, casually put his arm on the counter, and threw a look at the nurse.
"Please lead the way."
"Okay, please follow me."
The nurse limped into the elevator, which was shining with crimson light.
The right side panel of the elevator is covered with buttons in the shape of flesh bubbles, and the numbers engraved on them are all negative numbers.
