Chapter 222 Frog Hospital (Twenty-Two) One Thousand Tadpoles

At the Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen and the female teacher stood in the corner, holding their breaths as they watched the female ghost and the frog fight.

The croaking frogs and cries rising to the sky became louder and louder, and then gradually became sparser after reaching a certain point. The reverberation became softer, from the initial deafening to a whisper.

Lin Chen pretended to be ignorant and secretly observed the movements of the female teacher. At the same time, he pricked his ears to listen to what was happening on Qisi's side.

He heard that Qisi first pretended to betray Lu Zimo, and then killed Huang Xiaofei through a sneak attack.

Under the premise that Huang Xiaofei is a villain like Yu Kun, Lin Chen is happy for the success of Qisi's plan.

But a voice in his subconscious reminded him tirelessly that this matter was full of doubts.

Ziss's performance is so smooth that one can't help but wonder if he is used to deceiving people.

The method of killing is also very skillful, and it has probably been done many times in multiple copies.

Lin Chen couldn't help but begin to wonder how much of what Chiss said was true and how false. Could everything shown in "Rose Manor" be a fabricated personality for the purpose of deception?

But if there are some things that really cannot be seen, why would Qiss let him know about them?

Lin Chen was just puzzled when he realized that his consciousness was disconnected and the female teacher beside him was looking at his face seriously.

"Lin Chen, have you joined the guild?" The female teacher pinched her glasses clip and asked coldly.

Lin Chen shook his head: "Not yet, I've been busy running around for the past month, haha, I haven't had time to pay attention to this area yet."

The female teacher nodded slightly, her light gray eyes always focused on Lin Chen's face: "I originally wanted to invite you to join my guild, but now there is a more economical option for you."

"The 'door' has been opened, and the opening of the 'tower' will not be too far away. If there are 'cards', it is better to form a new force from scratch."

What is this all about? The Riddler is not popular these days...

Lin Chen was confused when he heard this, and said "Ah" indifferently.

He was about to ask a question, but the female teacher looked away and looked at the calm water: "You go down to the pond, and I will stay on the shore to take care of you."

…

"You go down to the pond, and I'll stay on the shore to take care of you."

At Blue Frog Hospital, Qisi looked down at the bloody pool water for a while, then turned his head and said to Sun Dekuan.

Naturally, Sun Dekuan had no objection. He nodded repeatedly and jumped into the pool with three steps at a time, splashing water as high as half a person. He was afraid that Qisi would not be able to see his active and cooperative attitude.

On the one hand, he didn't dare to look too useless, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to be an eyesore, lest Qiss take care of him.

Finding a passage in the pond is the best way out. At least keep your distance from dangerous people and stay calm.

Sun Dekuan didn't even have time to take off his shoes and pants. At this moment, his whole body was soaked in water, and the wetness covered his body, making him feel a little heavier.

He awkwardly bent down and put his hand into the water to fumble, but he heard the young man on the shore suddenly say: "Start looking under the statue of the Virgin."

…

Lin Chen took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, stepped into the cold pond, and his heels immediately sank into the soft soil.

On the bright red pool water, there are dots of large and small lumps of grease, which reflect purple or pink colors under the cold moonlight. The stumps of the frogs are floating on the water like heavenly flowers, and a few frog legs are still there. Twitching slightly.

The water surface was so startled by the people entering the water that it trembled, and a pool of fleshy foam swam around, spreading out and gathering again.

The viscous liquid full of impurities sucked his skin. Lin Chen bent down, gritted his teeth and stretched his arm into the water. Starting from the edge of the pond, he carefully explored it inch by inch.

Letting the female teacher stay on the shore and explore the pond by herself was also Lin Chen's original idea.

First of all, it was Zis's suggestion to find the passage. He had to do it himself to feel at ease.

Secondly, the pond is full of all kinds of dirt, so it is not appropriate for girls to go into the water.

But the female teacher said this division of labor in an arranged tone, with a non-negotiable and no-rejection attitude, which always made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Lin Chen, you look from the outside in. We can save some time by searching from the inside out." Qisi's voice sounded calmly.

Lin Chen replied in his heart: "No problem!"

…

"Not at all! The entire bottom of the pool is flat, and you can't find anything!"

The moon has already set in the west, and the eastern sky is turning gray like a dead face, gradually spreading to the entire sky.

Sun Dekuan started searching in circles starting from the statue of the Virgin. After touching the edge of the pond, he straightened up.

His body was covered in blood, his clothes were wet and stuck to his flesh, and the hair on his head was soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.

He was breathing heavily, fearing that Qiss wouldn't believe it, so he gesticulated hurriedly: "Brother Cheng, I have really touched every inch of the land, not even a crack!"

"No, I found nothing." Lin Chen looked at the female teacher and said breathlessly.

The female teacher stared at the stone platform in the center of the pond and said, "Go and see if you can move the statue of the Son."

A statue of the Holy Son?

Lin Chen turned his head and looked back. The baby placed on the stone platform in the middle of the pool was looking up at the sky, and the shadow it cast was just right to cover a small area.

He walked over.

…

"The statue of the Virgin cannot be moved with our strength. If it is damaged, we are not sure whether it will lead to bad results. It depends on Lin Chen."

At Blue Frog Hospital, Qisi paid attention to Lin Chen's movements and smiled at Sun Dekuan: "Come up, it's cold in the pond."

You know that too?

Sun Dekuan complained crazily in his heart, but did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

He crawled out of the pond on his hands and knees, and immediately there were large pools of water stains on the stone platform and the ground, completely outlining his human shape.

The bloody smell dissipated in the wind. Sun Dekuan breathed heavily and supported his body with his hands to stand up. Water was still dripping from the corners of his clothes.

When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.

…

"Can move."

At the Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen hugged the white stone statue of a baby with both hands and lifted it up, successfully lifting the base of the statue away from the stone platform below.

There were fine stones scattered on the stone platform, and after brushing them off with your hands, only a flat surface remained.

Lin Chen tentatively knocked on the stone platform twice, and a dull sound of "bang bang" sounded in the silence.

The stone platform is solid and there are no secret passages.

"No, there is no passage in the pond." Lin Chen said firmly.

How could it not be?

There are no other exits visible to the naked eye in the hospital, and the only door leads directly to the pond...

There are both blue frogs and green frogs in the pond. One kind of frog obviously comes from outside...

Frogs are not very capable of migration, so the passage must be nearby...

The clues are so clear, but why can't we find the passage?

Is there something wrong, or is the form of the passage different from what the players expected?

"We are still missing some key clues. There is still one day left today. You can go to the dean's office to have a look."

Qisi remained calm, turned around and walked towards Lu Zimo.

There are changes in the main mission, but it does not affect the part of the plan related to the side mission.

Since getting Lu Zimo's note, Qisi has been thinking about ways to maximize profits.

First of all, Lu Zimo definitely couldn't stay.

Acting alone for a whole day, with a probability of having unique information at hand, and a high probability of betrayal, such a person is a great trouble and hidden danger no matter what the circumstances.

The benefits he may bring are far less than the existing risks. In a gambling game with thin trust, any doubt is enough to sentence the cooperative opponent to death.

Secondly, there is no benefit to keeping Huang Xiaofei.

The rewards for clearing the dungeon are personalized, and each player will receive different props. After learning in Sunset Ruins that each dungeon would have an MVP, Qiss vaguely suspected that the quality of the reward props would be linked to the player's performance ranking.

It can be inferred from the ranking rules of the newcomer list that the weird game places more emphasis on force than intelligence. Although rationally he felt that Huang Xiaofei's comprehensive strength was not too strong, Qisi still believed that it was necessary to seize the opportunity to eliminate potential competitors.

In the same way, the female teacher in Lin Chen's description also needs to be eliminated. Of course, this is a story later.

Finally, there is the "number advantage" problem that has always existed in weird games.

Players' physical strength cannot make a qualitative leap through the game, and they can only arm themselves with props. In other words, except for bugs like Chang Xu, most players' physical strength has limits, and they can be sneak-attacked and bullied. few……

In the beginning, a large part of the reason why Qisi did not have murderous intentions towards Huang Xiaofei and Lu Zimo was because he believed that they were a tacit understanding of the two and had a greater numerical advantage.

But now, since they dug their own graves and created discord, they had nothing to fear. Qisi was happy to add insult to injury, waiting for both of them to suffer, and then reap the benefits.

Lu Zimo twisted on the ground for a long time, until his whole body was covered in crumbs of dirt, but he still couldn't break the chain.

He could only give up struggling and kneel on the ground dejectedly, glaring resentfully and uneasily at Qis, who was getting closer and closer.

Qisi squatted down, took out the towel that blocked his mouth, and threw it to the ground.

Lu Zimo panted rapidly and threatened with a deep look: "Cheng An, if you let me go now, I can pretend that this never happened."

"Otherwise, when you leave the dungeon, I will definitely put you on the forum. No matter how eloquent you are from now on, you will only be a rat that everyone yells at!"

Qisi tilted his head: "Who is a serious person who would use his real name?"

"I can draw. Half an hour is enough for me to sketch your face and hang it on the forum!"

Qisi sneered: "Who is a serious person to use his own face?"

Lu Zimo: "..."

He saw a sugar bowl filled with tadpoles appearing in Qis's hand, and he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart: "You...what do you want to do?"

"Didn't I say before that you'll have to make mistakes through trial and error?" Qisi sighed, as if feeling sorry for Lu Zimo's memory.

A sugar bowl filled with tadpoles appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he said in a matter-of-fact tone: "You have already eaten so many tadpoles, at least a few hundred."

Lu Zimo finally understood what Qisi was going to do and yelled: "I won't eat! You bastard! Scum! Beast!"

He struggled violently, rolling around on the ground like a maggot.

Sun Dekuan was attracted by the movement here, and ran over in small steps, regardless of his still wet clothes.

He looked at Qisi and Lu Zimo, with a look of unbearable expression on his eyes: "It's not good to eat hundreds of tadpoles at once, right? Lu Zimo's failure rate is already 60%, and it will probably reach 80% now." %Bar?"

Qisi looked sideways at him, his dark red eyes and scarlet pendulum refracting the glimmer of light together: "He can't eat so much, so why don't you help him share some of it?"

Sun Dekuan was startled, and immediately turned his back to the two of them: "What about... I have a bad gastrointestinal condition, and eating randomly will cause diarrhea... Come on!"

Lu Zimo fell into despair, watching Qi Si unscrew the lid of the sugar jar slowly, grab a handful of tadpoles with his hands, and put them to his mouth.

The tadpoles just taken out still smelled of mud, and the sticky liquid rubbed against Lu Zimo's face, and he subconsciously tilted his head.

However, Qi Si pinched his chin and turned his head back, with a smile on his face, clear and pure: "Eat it, or I will kill you."

The blood-colored pendulum flew out from his sleeves, and the sharp pendulum aimed at Lu Zimo's temple. The blue veins in his forehead could almost feel the coldness coming from his face.

Lu Zimo had no doubt that if he showed an uncooperative attitude again, Qi Si, the sadist, would probably make him die miserably.

He shrank his neck, opened his mouth quickly, and let Qi Si throw a handful of tadpoles in.

He still had a little unrealistic hope, such as holding the tadpoles in his mouth first, and then spitting them out quietly when Qi Si wasn't paying attention...

Who knew that the next second, Qi Si grabbed his chin and threw him up, and with his other hand pressed his throat, rubbing it lightly and heavily.

His throat felt sour, and he instinctively swallowed his saliva, along with the tadpoles in his mouth.

Qi Si didn't wait for him to react, and grabbed another handful of tadpoles and did the same thing.

Only after he had finished a jar of tadpoles did Qi Si reconnect his consciousness and ask Lin Chen: "How is your task progress?"

Lin Chen found that the progress of the "One Thousand Tadpoles" task was rising wildly from a certain point in time, and he thought that Qi Si had made some moves.

At this moment, he looked at the prompt "Current Task Completed" on the system interface and answered anxiously: "The task of making people eat a thousand tadpoles is completed, Qi... Brother Qi, what did you do over there?"

From his subtext, it was obvious that he was worried that Qi Si had persecuted some unlucky player.

"What are you thinking? I am also a human, right?" Qi Si tutted and cut off the connection of consciousness again.

He collected the curse pendulum, let go of Lu Zimo, and stepped aside.

Lu Zimo's face was pale, and he stared at Qi Si with resentment: "If you have the guts, just kill me! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Qisi tapped his chin with his clean hand, with a half-smile on his face: "If you are quiet, I might be able to save your life."

Lu Zimo immediately shut up.

Qisi walked towards Huang Xiaofei's body, grabbed her hand, rubbed every knuckle, and finally touched an invisible ring on her right little finger.

Qisi took off the ring.

After leaving the finger, the ring's invisibility was lifted, and it showed a scarlet color in Qi Si's palm.

It does not belong to Jiuzhou, nor to Xila.

Qi Si looked at Lu Zimo: "Where did it come from?"

Lu Zimo was silent for a moment, and said: "My sister snatched it from the hands of Xila members and modified it with the prop appearance modification coupon."

"When?"

"About a month ago, probably March 9th."

"It's been so long, and Xila's people haven't looked for you?"

"I... I don't know."

It was already bright, and the pointer of the fate pocket watch crossed the number 6.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

Sun Dekuan's blood disappeared completely, and his clothes were generally restored to neatness except for some wrinkles.

He stood far away, looking at Qi Si with a fearful look, neither advancing nor retreating.

After all, he is still a normal person. He has lived in a society ruled by law for forty years. His values ​​are not too positive but not too crooked.

In his cognition, Qi Si's behavior is crazy.

Qi Si stuffed the towel back into Lu Zimo's mouth, and when he stood up, he saw the fear of the tool man.

He just smiled indifferently: "Sun Dekuan, take Lu Zimo with you, let's go back to the ward."

"Okay... okay!" Sun Dekuan walked to Qi Si reluctantly, bent down to help Lu Zimo up, and carried him on his back.

Qi Si led the way in front, and Sun Dekuan followed behind. The two walked towards the hospital building along the way they came.

Behind them, the sound of frogs roared. (End of this chapter)
