Chapter 219 Frog Hospital (XIX) Entry and Exit

The failure rate column shows [45%], which is still within the acceptable range.

What troubles Ziss is that the prompt text says that the dean will come to see him tomorrow.

According to his plan, he and Lin Chen would search for a passage connecting the two hospitals at the bottom of the pond tonight. If successful, he could try to advance the main mission tomorrow night.

During the day tomorrow, current tasks such as "Cure" and "A Thousand Tadpoles" need to be completed as soon as possible.

I don’t know if the dean’s intervention will affect the established process.

After the nurse finished speaking some gloomy words, she returned to normal, her face and figure settling into clear outlines.

"Dr. Cheng, the bed is available. It's the same bed as before. Let me take you there." She smiled and made an inviting gesture to Qisi.

Qisi nodded slightly and followed the nurse calmly, silently letting her lead the way. He turned around the familiar corridor and stood at the door of Room 404.

Like the previous two times, he was the last to enter the room and sat down on his bed. However, he looked past Sun Dekuan and glanced at Lu Zimo with interest.

The thin young man in a hospital gown had his head lowered, his face was pale, his expression was timid, and he looked particularly pitiful.

Sensing Qiss's gaze, he shifted his face slightly and responded with a hidden gaze.

"Today is the same as yesterday. Everything is reset at six o'clock in the evening. It seems that six o'clock is the refresh time for this instance." Huang Xiaofei made a judgment and joked with a smile, "In this way, we can go farther in the future. , don’t worry about not coming back at night.”

Perhaps because she had the hope of clearing the customs, her tone became much more relaxed and she lost the solemn tone when she left the house.

Qisi looked away and smiled brightly: "Yes, no matter where you are, you can return to where you were when the time comes."

Just now, he realized a problem.

Lu Zimo was separated from the others for twelve hours. No one knew where he was, where he had been, and what he had done before the reset.

After information is disseminated, its value will be reduced accordingly; compared with similar information, the fewer people who know it, the higher its value.

If Lu Zimo does not stay in the ward as the players think, but uses the daytime to explore other parts of the hospital like the players, then the clues he obtains will make him better than other players due to their uniqueness. Naturally, it has a layer of information advantage.

Huang Xiaofei sat on Lu Zimo's bedside table and briefly recounted the players' exploration process to him, probably to put him at ease.

Lu Zimo thanked her quietly, looking flattered.

Huang Xiaofei seemed to be very pleased with this performance, and smiled and patted his face.

Sun Dekuan winked at the side for a while, then moved closer to Qisi and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, it's not me who said that there is definitely something wrong with these two people. How can cousins ​​get along like this? There is so no sense of boundaries. Bar?"

Qisi rested his chin on his knees and listened helplessly to Sun Dekuan's opinions. He nodded from time to time to show that he was listening, but his eyes were filled with darkness.

I don't know if it was prejudice, but in his impression, every fat man he met was quite annoying, and he was definitely not a good candidate to develop into a tool man.

Even in order to prevent such people from leaking information in the future, it is more convenient to deal with the copy as soon as possible in the later stage.

After clearing the copy of "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School" and entering Sunset Ruins to see various records and rankings, Qiss actually had a vague feeling. Being the only survivor would easily attract attention, leaving one or two mediocrities behind. Passers-by as cover might be a good choice.

Anyway, now he has two weird things, the Statue of Joy and the Insomnia Germ. There are plenty of reserves that can be harvested, and he really doesn’t lack the bonus points to guarantee a minimum number of deaths.

But people like Sun Dekuan are too mediocre.

He is mediocre and pretends to be clever and smooth, so boring that he can see the truth at a glance.

Qisi found that he really hated such people.

“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”

The ringtone of the old-fashioned phone rang suddenly, cutting off the whispers of the players.

Qisi left Sun Dekuan behind, walked over and picked up the phone, smiled and said, "Lin Chen, good evening."

…

Green Frog Hospital, staff quarters.

Lin Chen sat at the desk with the phone, and beside him stood a female teacher in a black suit.

Without Yu Kun's presence, the situation seemed to have improved a lot; but under the gradually growing suspicion, the situation did not seem to have changed much.

Lin Chen kept in mind the key points that Qisi told him, which was to inform other players of everything that happened from last night to today without exposing the connection between the two people's consciousness.

He held the phone and stated as calmly as possible: "After hanging up the phone last night, we encountered Hyakki Yakou here. Many female ghosts rushed into the room and begged us for their children. Their attacks were too violent. Another one of us died..."

Huang Xiaofei walked up to Qisi at some point and asked coldly: "There are only two people left over there, right?"

"Yes." Lin Chen glanced at the female teacher beside him and recalled, "We later escaped through the window to the pond, and those female ghosts also chased us and forced us into a corner."

"Just when I thought I was dead, a red frog suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the pond. The female ghosts didn't know why, but they all turned around and rushed towards the frog, saying that it was their child."

"They jumped into the pond one after another and wrestled with the frogs. In the end, both sides were injured, and the whole pond was covered with blood and body parts."

"The strange thing is that after dawn, everything seemed to refresh once, and the pond became clear again. If it weren't for the real injuries on my body, haha, I'm afraid I would have thought I just had a nightmare."

This statement undoubtedly confirms the "refresh" mechanism that players have already known. Although there are many developments that cannot explain the specific reasons, it just fits the characteristics of the weird game.

Even if they don't understand the principle behind it, players will only think that it is their own problem, either because they don't collect enough clues or their reasoning is not in place.

Huang Xiaofei looked at Qi Si and said lightly: "If we want to explore the pond tonight, we must clear all the frogs that bite people. We can sharpen the knife before cutting wood. We can first find a red frog to see if we can lure those difficult pregnant ghosts to the pond."

She has the same deep resentment towards frogs and pregnant ghosts.

Frogs attacked Lu Zimo during the day on the first day, and the pregnant ghost obstructed her exploration at night on the first day, causing her to be ridiculed. It would be best if they could die in a group.

Moreover, the situation described by Lin Chen provides a feasible way to quickly pass the dungeon.

The statues of the Son of God and the Mother of God are separated in two hospitals. Players on both sides must find the passage between the hospitals if they want to complete the main task.

The pond is mixed with green frogs and blue frogs, which is the most likely place for passages to appear. It is imperative to search the bottom of the pond.

And if you want to search the bottom of the pond safely, you must clear the field.

The two strange elimination games of ghosts and frogs, players complete the main task, which is beautiful and can be called art.

Huang Xiaofei thinks there is nothing wrong with this.

Although I don’t know if Qi Si will bury a pit for her in an unknown place, the clearance is just around the corner, and no one needs to hurt others for no reason.

This time, maybe I can really survive from the dead and get a TE clearance record.

Qi Si saw Huang Xiaofei's expression and calmly asked into the microphone: "Lin Chen, how is your mission progress? How many tadpoles have we eaten in total?"

Lin Chen said: "Four hundred and six tadpoles."

Fourteen fewer because Lu Zimo didn't eat tadpoles last night.

"Well, you lead the female ghosts to the pond tonight, and after they and the frogs are both injured, go to the bottom of the pond to find a passage, is that okay?"

Qisi tilted his head slightly, curled his lips, and repeated the plan he had already said: "If you can find the passage smoothly, I will find a way to help you complete the current task tomorrow, and then solve the main task..."

There was a busy tone of "beep beep beep" from the other end of the phone, and the time was up.

"Go to bed early, turn off the lights at 9:30, go to bed early and get up early to have a good body!"

"Don't open the door or window after turning off the lights. If you can't sleep, lie on the bed and wait for the wake-up bell to ring before getting out of bed!"

The nurse's knocking on the door and shouting sounded as usual, from far to near.

The sound of lights being turned off in several nearby wards intensified the urging.

"There are only two of them left, can they do it?" Huang Xiaofei looked at Qi Si and couldn't help but speed up her speech. "Although I don't know the size of the pond, since there are four people on each side of the weird game, the search will not be easy."

"I believe he can do it." Qi Si smiled and quickly issued a copy of the entry and exit permit to each player.

Since the call was connected, Qi Si has been keeping the consciousness connection open to facilitate the next action.

Lin Chen listened to the conversation between Qi Si and Huang Xiaofei and secretly clenched his fists.

Even though he had failed once before, the boss still trusted him so much.

This time, he must not let the boss down again.

The female teacher stood beside Lin Chen like a ghost from beginning to end, and her light gray eyes looked at the latter's face without blinking, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts.

At this moment, she asked in a cold tone: "Do you have other ways to communicate with Cheng An?"

Lin Chen's heart beat violently when he was asked this question suddenly.

He turned his head stiffly and said in a natural tone as much as possible: "No, I never thought I would meet him again in this copy."

The female teacher nodded, leaned against the door frame, and stared into the depths of the corridor.

Blue Frog Hospital, Room 404.

Lu Zimo sat on the bed, holding the access permit with his name on it, lowered his head slightly, and wondered what he was thinking.

Huang Xiaofei also got on her bed, looked at him sideways and smiled: "Zimo, it's not time to finish this dungeon tonight, just stay in the room and don't make trouble."

Lu Zimo pressed the access permit under the pillow, but shook her head: "No, sister, I also want to help."

Huang Xiaofei was stunned, and spit out a light sigh: "Virtue! If you want to follow, just follow, you won't be a big trouble."

"Snap, snap, snap..."

The sound of light switches rang one after another, the lights in the ward gradually went out, and the world was completely swallowed by the seamless darkness.

The voices and footsteps gradually faded away, but the eyes of the players flickered like stars in the darkness.

In the stagnant silence, everyone was counting the time silently in their hearts.

At the moment when the hour hand of the fate pocket watch passed ten o'clock, Huang Xiaofei stood up and turned on the flashlight.

Under the dazzling white light, Lu Zimo stood up with the help of the bed rails, lowered his head and chest, and stood beside the woman like a ghost.

The latter gave him a soothing look, turned around, walked towards the door, and pushed it open to go out.

The three followed closely behind.

The corridor was not completely dark. The dim light flickered, and the vast water vapor surged, as thick as the white cloth of a funeral home, making people fear the reason for haunting.

In the mist, bloated white-clothed figures lined up like ghosts, walking slowly with stiff steps.

The leading female ghost in white dragged a black umbilical cord like a tail and walked slowly in front of the players.

The players were well prepared and took out their own entry and exit permits and held them in front of their chests.

On the half-rotten face of the female ghost, the turbid eyes turned around and scanned each entry and exit permit one by one.

After reading it, she turned back to the team and led a long line of female ghosts in white to continue along the previous route.

Passed the level.

The players still did not dare to relax, and passed by the female ghost team by the wall, until they saw the end of the team disappear at the corner of the corridor, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Dekuan didn't dare to breathe before, and his legs were so tight that he didn't tremble. Now he just felt half of his body go limp.

He subconsciously glanced at Qi Si beside him, and saw that the young man was looking at the direction where the team disappeared with interest, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

He shuddered: "I'm not saying, what on earth are you doing outside, Brother Cheng, how come you haven't been afraid since entering the dungeon?"

Qi Si has replaced Huang Xiaofei and stood at the front of the team. Now he said without turning his head: "Didn't I say before, just an ordinary college student, with poor grades, the kind who eats and waits for death."

"However, my father is a heavenly master, and he usually tells me some supernatural knowledge. He is not reliable. When I was a child, he accidentally locked me in the attic with a bunch of magic tools. My courage was trained at that time."

Sun Dekuan felt powerful , got closer: "With our father's skills, can he see the existence of the strange game?"

"I don't know." Qi Si said, "He has been dead for two years, killed by a ghost."

"My condolences...my condolences." Sun Dekuan swallowed his saliva, unable to suppress his curiosity, "What kind of ghost is it? Can it kill our father?"

Qisi half closed his eyes, his voice was low and mysterious: "It's a female ghost in the hospital, raised by humans, seeing too many births and deaths every day, and full of resentment. The old man went to see a doctor, and originally planned to keep out of the way, but he didn't expect to be recognized."

What is this all about?

Sun Dekuan was confused, and before he knew it, he had followed Qi Si to the end of the corridor.

Huang Xiaofei stood behind the two of them, holding up a flashlight and shining it on the foggy doorway.

Qisi walked straight to the kitchen on the side, skillfully pulled out the wire from the bracelet, and pried open the door lock.

He strode into the door, holding an empty sugar jar in one hand and a long-handled spoon in the other, reaching into the iron bucket full of tadpoles.

He scooped out spoonfuls of tadpoles and stuffed them into the sugar jar until there was no more room, then he tightened the lid of the jar.

Then, he put the spoon to the bottom and stirred it, and fished out a bloody dead baby.

Qi Si wrapped the dead baby with a towel, walked out of the kitchen door step by step, walked to the front door, stopped, and waited sideways.

The surging white mist seemed to have substance, trembling and stretching out long white silks in all directions, and the curling smoke twisted and graceful, outlining all kinds of strange shapes in the darkness.

Without warning, a crying female voice sounded in the distance: "Child, our child..." (End of this chapter)
