Chapter 208 Frog Hospital (VIII) Embryo

There was no frog sound among the din of people.

Qisi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Red frog?"

Sun Dekuan blinked twice and slapped his fat face in disbelief: "No, the frog disappeared again... I wonder if I was dazzled?"

The male voice behind him was still crying with self-blame, and the nurse beside him looked tired and lacked real feelings of comfort.

Qisi patted Sun Dekuan on the shoulder and continued along the previous path: "Let's go. To figure out what happened, we need more clues."

Sun Dekuan looked back as if he had just woken up from a dream, and followed Qisi.

The corridors of the hospital are as twists and turns as a maze. Patients in hospital gowns sit at the door, staring blankly at the passers-by.

Every time you turn a corner, the corridor you enter is the same as the one before. If the room number hadn't changed, I might have had the illusion of being trapped in a ghost wall.

Sun Dekuan muttered in a low voice: "There is not even a safe exit along the way. If you don't know better, you might think it's a prison..."

"Perhaps it's to prevent patients from running out." Qiss smiled with interest and looked into the distance along the dirty wall. He didn't see any maps, lights or street signs. .

For no reason, he remembered a horror game called "Exit 8" that he played in his childhood. The character was in a long and narrow corridor. When he saw something abnormal, he had to turn back, otherwise he would be trapped in the underground passage forever and could not leave.

Ziss noticed that there was no staircase on the fourth floor of the hospital. The entire floor seemed to be completely isolated in a separate space, independent of the outside world.

Normally, the inpatient department and the operating area of ​​the hospital are separated, because the operating area usually has higher requirements for sterile conditions and involves the management of high-risk items such as anesthetic drugs and surgical instruments. This will undoubtedly have a negative impact on its security.

All departments of Blue Frog Hospital are packed together on the fourth floor. Along the way, Ziss saw not only the wards and operating rooms, but also the consulting rooms, archives and laboratories. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, as if this floor is everything in this hospital.

Sun Dekuan thought for a while and asked: "Then what are we going to do next? Find a way to get out of here?"

Qisi said "hmm" and had no intention of explaining the plan to the tool man.

In the silence, there was a radio announcement coming from the ward, which seemed to be shouting some slogan.

"You will be given a rope to hang yourself and a bottle of medicine to drink..."

"We must resolutely implement policies and never allow more children..."

These slogans were shouted impassionedly, but it was probably due to poor signal quality that the sound played out was intermittent, giving people the feeling of the background sound effects before the appearance of The Wrongful Ghost in a horror movie.

From time to time, there were a few prominent noises that sounded loudly and sharply, as if someone was crying.

Sun Dekuan felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and touched his chubby arm: "Little brother, I may have guessed what this copy is for..."

Qisi raised an eyebrow at him, gesturing for him to continue.

Sun Dekuan was encouraged and continued to speak fearfully: "Well, you were born late, so you don't know some things. The background of this copy seems to be true. I heard my mother say that back then, the Federation..."

He stopped talking and changed the tone of telling ghost stories: "Anyway, at that time over there, many children were mashed up as soon as they were born and thrown into the methane pit. Many women also died. There was so much resentment. It’s big.”

"They are not willing to give in. Why can't they give birth and live, and then let the people behind them have to give birth to death after decades? They start to cause trouble. Any pregnant woman who enters the operating room, don't even think about it if the fate is weaker. Live or die together..."

Chiss listened intently, without comment.

Based on what he had seen in the past few days, he had actually figured out the background of the copy.

Lin Chen said that this dungeon was related to childbirth. In the hallucination, the operation he was responsible for was to induce labor for pregnant women. The patient was hostile to the medical staff but could not express his anger...

This dungeon never deliberately concealed anything from the players in terms of background. It was simply that the policy did not allow people to have more children. Pregnant women were sent to the hospital for abortions, but they died of heavy bleeding during the operation as if they were cursed.

At first glance, this was related to Sun Dekuan's mention of the innocent soul claiming his life, but Qisi would not believe the empty words of others, and secondly, he would not believe that the weird game would design the answer to be so simple.

All in all, no matter what the reason, the fact is that more and more people are dying on the operating table, and Cheng An, who is responsible for the operation, also suffers from coma. Players arrived in time, replaced and started to play some of the original NPCs.

Next to him, Sun Dekuan was still talking: "Too many people died later, and the commotion was so big that several hospitals were demolished. It is said that a lot of frogs emerged from the foundations, and they all grew up eating the corpses of children. There are ghosts. Will bite."

"The hospital had no choice but to hire a bunch of monks and Taoist priests to do it, but it didn't work out. In the end, the federal government asked a master to study Feng Shui and built a government building at a key location, which suppressed the resentment."

"My eyelids have been twitching from yesterday to now. Now I think about it. Aren't the ghosts of pregnant women I met in the corridor last night just ghosts? Let's stay in this wretched place for another five days. It's not me who said, Sooner or later you will have to wear your braids..."

Qisi narrowed his eyes and asked, "In what year exactly did this happen? Is there anyone named 'Cheng Ping' in your hospital there?"

He had a vague feeling that this copy might be similar to "Su's Village", "Double Happiness Town" and "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School", and be related to the real world.

Although it is not known whether the weirdness of reality is taken from the copy, or the script written by the copy is performed in reality, as long as it can produce weirdness such as [Statue of the God of Happiness] and [Insomnia Bacteria], it is good news for Qi Si.

The deterrence hidden in the shadows can certainly make the Federation cautious, but who knows whether the decision-makers will be ruthless and cut off their tails to survive. To be on the safe side, some chaos that can stir up turmoil is necessary.

Qi Si is happy to find something for the official organization to do, so that they don't have to create text garbage around Fu Jue all day long.

"This matter has been a long time, it seems to be several decades, and I don't know exactly when it was." Sun Dekuan recalled, "The name 'Cheng Ping' is quite common. If we really have such a celebrity over there, I will not have no impression of him at all."

... That's fine.

It seems that this copy is the same as "Hopeless Sea". The background seems to be related to reality, but it actually takes place in a parallel world.

Sun Dekuan looked at Qi Si: "I'm not saying this, little brother, you don't suspect that the dean of this copy is from reality, right?"

Qis shook his head slightly, suppressed the strangeness in his eyes, and turned a corner again.

This time the scene finally changed. The corridor that twisted like a intestine seemed to have finally come to an end. In front of him was no longer an endless road and wards on both sides, but an open space of about 40 square meters.

There was a wide open iron door embedded on the wall in front of him. Thick white mist was surging outside the door like clouds and waves. Figures were looming in the mist, and only vague outlines could be seen.

There was clearly no lock, and there were no obstacles, but just seeing such a scene was enough to make people stay away, as if behind the door was an unknown world symbolizing horror, and as long as they stepped in, it meant death.

The fear of being surrounded by natural enemies grew in his heart. Sun Dekuan shuddered and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, should we go forward?"

If Huang Xiaofei and Lu Zimo were here, they might have gone to explore the way because of their skills.

But Qi Si had a clear understanding of his own strength.

He looked around and saw an iron door embedded on each wall, with two big characters "Mortuary" and "Kitchen" written on them. The iron doors were aligned with each other and faced each other across the road, which suggested "from death to eating, kill on demand".

In Qi Si's impression, many hospitals, considering food safety, cost-effectiveness and hygiene management factors, usually do not have kitchens in order to reduce trouble, but tend to outsource catering services.

However, in Blue Frog Hospital, special services such as tadpole soup cannot be provided by external catering institutions, and can only be provided by the hospital itself.

Qis walked straight to the kitchen, pulled out a thin wire from the bracelet very skillfully, and poked it at the door lock.

Sun Dekuan looked at the side with a vacant look: ... Are college students now so well-rounded?

Qi Si pried open the door lock and looked back: "I haven't been to the kitchen much. I may need to trouble Brother Sun for the next evidence search."

"Hey, you are so polite." Sun Dekuan smiled and scratched his head, walked forward and pushed the door open.

He has been a chef for more than 20 years. The kitchen is like home to him. No matter how strange the copy is, the kitchen is just a kitchen.

The white acrylic table is painted with oil stains that cannot be wiped clean, but the big pot on it is washed shiny. The exhaust pipe and the range hood work alternately, and the air in the room is still clean.

A covered iron bucket is placed in the corner, which is out of tune with the scene.

Facing the familiar configuration, Sun Dekuan's fear subsided a lot. Seeing Qi Si walking towards the iron bucket, he also followed with courage.

When he got closer, he could vaguely hear the sound of rippling water, as if something was swimming in it, and it would occasionally hit the edge and make a light "tongtong" sound.

Sun Dekuan's palms were sweating unconsciously. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qi Si lift the lid and reveal a bucket of bloody liquid inside.

The liquid was surging like it was alive. Looking closely, you can see dense tadpoles swimming in the bloody soup, crowded together like sesame seeds in a funnel, heads against heads, tails entangled with tails.

This is terrifying, but it makes people feel more disgusted. Sun Dekuan took two steps back in shock and almost cried out.

There seemed to be something sinking at the bottom of the bloody water. Qi Si grabbed a soup spoon from the corner, reached into the bucket and fiddled with it for a while, and fished something out.

It was a fist-sized tadpole-shaped meat ball. Above the tail, tiny claws and a bloodshot head could be vaguely seen. It was clearly an unformed human embryo.

The embryo's epidermis was bumpy, and it seemed to be bitten out by tadpoles.

Qi Si blinked, and the fetus disappeared, replaced by a dead red frog.

Sun Dekuan stared at the blood and flesh on the spoon with his eyes wide open: "I... the tadpoles we eat grow up eating this stuff? What are they trying to do?"

"Maybe they are thrifty and reusing medical waste; maybe they want to accumulate resentment and harm the people who take the tadpoles - who knows?"

Qis threw the frog corpse back into the bucket, put the lid back on, and put the spoon under the faucet to wash it and put it back.

While he was slowly cleaning up the traces, Sun Dekuan had already run to the door in a few steps.

Ever since he saw the bucket of tadpoles, he had a sense that the tadpoles would crawl onto him and bite his flesh. If Qi Si hadn't been in the kitchen, he would have run away.

Sensing the tool man's resistance, Qi Si followed suit and left the kitchen, holding Sun Dekuan with one hand and slamming the door with the other.

Sun Dekuan suddenly pointed forward and said, "Little brother, when did that come?"

Qisi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that an iron bed had been parked outside the door at some point.

A pale and skinny woman was lying on the bed, and next to her was a half-formed baby's body that was also pale.

The bloodstained sheets had been removed, and there was no trace of blood on the body.

Qisi walked around the iron bed and lowered his head to look at the number and name on the woman's bracelet.

[S951, Jiang Xue]

The iron bed was placed in the middle of the open space, quite close to the morgue and the kitchen. After what he had just seen, it made people suspect that it would be sent to the kitchen next.

There were no nurses around, and the door of the morgue, which had been locked not long ago, swung open a little automatically, spewing out the cold air.

In the silence, there were only the breathing sounds of two people, and the light in the scene seemed to be several degrees darker, and the shadows in the mist outside the door also squirmed restlessly.

Sun Dekuan suggested in a trembling voice: "Little brother, why don't we go back first? This place seems a bit weird to me, or wait for more people to come..."

Qi Si looked at him sideways and chuckled: "Since we are here, do you think they will let us go?"

Sun Dekuan was frightened and shivered, and felt that the air seemed to be full of evil spirits, staring at him with ill intentions.

He cried: "I'm not saying, little brother, don't scare me, I will take it seriously..."

Qi Si satisfied his own bad taste, pushed open the door of the morgue and walked in.

Near the door were several iron beds with corpses, covered with white cloth from head to toe, with only arms with bracelets hanging at the edge.

The bracelet of the corpse closest to Qi Si reads [11027, Zhao Zhu], which obviously does not use the same coding rules as the corpse outside.

Qi Si looked at the numbers of the nearby corpses. Most of the female corpses have an "S" at the beginning of the number, and the number is less than one thousand.

Of course, some female corpses have numbers of more than ten thousand, without "S" as a prefix.

Qi Si guessed that the corpses marked with "S" were all pregnant women, and they were specially marked to distinguish them from other corpses for subsequent use.

However, more than nine hundred people have died, why hasn't the hospital attracted the attention of the relevant departments?

Also, how did the hospital convince the family members of the deceased to leave the bodies in the morgue?

A gust of wind came from behind, and Qi Si reacted quickly and took a step to the side to avoid it.

The next second, there was a "pop" sound, and a chubby figure fell to the ground.

Sun Dekuan struggled to get up, his voice trembling: "Someone... pushed me..."

Having his train of thought interrupted, Qi Si stared at Sun Dekuan expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "The person who pushed you is most likely not a human."

As expected, he saw the latter almost fainted from fear.

Qi Si half-closed his eyes, grabbed the back of Sun Dekuan's collar and pulled it down, revealing his chubby back.

Two small bleeding handprints were clearly printed on the white skin, which were particularly obvious.

The iron door of the morgue suddenly slammed behind him, making a loud "bang".

Sun Dekuan rushed over and grabbed the door handle, but no matter how he turned it, the door did not move.

He frowned and almost cried: "Little brother, this door is locked and can't be pushed open..."

The cold system sound rang in his ears, accompanied by pale prompt text.
