Chapter 234: Frog Hospital (Thirty-Three) Exploration

Cheng Ping, or Cheng An'an, is an honest man - at least he thinks so.

His family has been farmers for three generations. In his generation, he studied hard, learned some medical skills, and went to a county hospital to work as a surgeon after graduation.

He is smart, capable, hardworking, and has a good family background. Therefore, he was promoted to the position of department director step by step. He also married Xu Qing from the same department and had a happy family.

Until "that policy" came down.

As an advanced member who always obeys orders, Cheng An implemented the policy more actively than anyone else.

He can no longer remember what he did specifically, but he only knows that there are more and more biting frogs in the pond behind the hospital. Every time he passes by, the frog sounds are deafening.

He thinks it's not his fault. If he wants to blame someone, he should blame those pregnant women for their bad luck...

But when the same experience happened to him, he couldn't take it lightly after all.

Xu Qing died, his son was gone, and he watched the broken line of the electrocardiogram become a smooth straight line, and the whole person seemed to fall into a cold abyss.

Why couldn't he even keep his first child?

The promised promotion did not come, only a few words of comfort and praise.

Cheng Ping felt unwilling and resentful, and desperately exposed all the secrets he knew.

But no one believed him, and everyone said he was crazy.

He was suspended from work, asked to be investigated, and was briefly locked up in a mental hospital for treatment.

After a muddle-headed experience, he heard the voice of God.

God claimed to be the master of life and death, who could let the dead return to the world, and promised him that as long as he could complete the ritual, he could resurrect his wife and children.

Under the guidance of God, Cheng Ping took the bodies of his wife and children to the pond and let the frogs eat them up.

His body died, but he continued to live in a sense.

The Frog Hospital was built according to his memory and existed in his consciousness, and he almost became the hospital itself.

All the places he needed were stuffed on the fourth floor, which was where his wife Xu Qing stayed most often and died last.

This ghostland he created was embedded in the fourth floor of the real hospital. Many pregnant women entered it by mistake every day and never came out alive.

Fortunately, it was a chaotic era. It was not until a long time later that the rumor of wronged ghosts seeking revenge spread. By then, enough pregnant women had been taken into the hospital and repeated the cycle day after day.

Many people and things in the hospital were controlled by Cheng Ping. The ghost of his wife lived here, the son who was induced to abort grew up here, and the caregivers and nurses he created killed pregnant women in the operating room.

He did not have to rush to complete the deal with God. He could slowly collect the consumables for the ceremony and try to find out more information about God.

But there were also many things in the hospital that were not controlled by Cheng Ping.

The frogs in the pond were so noisy that they dragged Cheng Ping into the pond while he was sleeping several times when he was not paying attention.

There were also a few lingering frogs that would enter the hospital building, jump out from various gaps to patrol and monitor, and even if they were killed, they would recover the next day.

Cheng Ping knew that this was a check and balance set by God, and he quickly found a way to deal with it.

He found that frogs would eat tadpoles, and thus judged that these early-dead ghosts hated new things.

He sent people to steal the tadpoles that frogs used as food, and let the patients in the hospital drink tadpole soup to attract the attention of frogs, and subtly turned their hatred to innocent pregnant women.

From then on, the death of pregnant women no longer required him to do it himself, he only needed to send them to the operating table, and the ghosts of frogs would do the work.

The god he called "Your Excellency" discovered his little tricks and gave him hints in a roundabout way, hoping that he would participate more deeply in the killing.

After repeated attempts, he realized the existence of "sin". Although he didn't know the specific mechanism, he could feel that it was not a good thing, and it was likely to become a means for God to cross the river and destroy the bridge.

Fortunately, he never believed in God. Since his family was broken up, he no longer believed in anyone.

The power and interests obtained by the charity of the superiors within the scope of the rules are ultimately unreliable. He must rely on his own strength to take the initiative to fight for what he wants.

So, he put on a mask, learned to deceive, and used every possible means in secret to avoid the guilt he would bear in the future.

Including dividing the Frog Hospital into two, including contacting other evil gods, attracting the attention of the Weird Game...

Even if the Excellency created the personality of Cheng An to contain him, he would also accept it with pleasure, and gradually assimilated Cheng An, inducing him to trade with the Weird Game and attracting players to join the game.

He loves his wife and son, but he knows that he must have enough chips to protect them and let the gods fulfill their promise to resurrect them.

Therefore, before the plan succeeds, any sacrifice is necessary, even if they are hurt.

And now, the plan is just one step away.

After Cheng Ping controlled Qi Si's actions, he turned into a black mist and blew towards the pond outside the Pond Hospital building.

He fabricated false information to let the players possessed by Cheng An relax their vigilance and come to negotiate with him smartly, just in time to get rid of Cheng An, the annoying guy.

He strictly controlled the quality and quantity of the sacrificed corpses to ensure that the power of the descendant was neither too weak nor too strong, just enough to strike a balance with the intervention of the strange game.

Next, he only needs to force another player to send the statue of the Son, combine it with the statue of the Virgin, trigger the switch of the ritual, and then he can complete the ritual without being contaminated by sin...

Cheng Ping was thinking happily, but suddenly felt something was not right.

If he remembered correctly, the player possessing Cheng An had a pendulum-shaped weapon. Why didn't he use it in the fight just now?

Forget it, it's not important.

…

Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen rushed towards the pond, a picture flashed in his mind without warning.

The handsome young man wearing flat-rimmed glasses was covered in blood, and was nailed to the wall with two shiny black reflective scalpels. Through the layers of blood mist, the white shirt and black trousers he was wearing could be seen clearly.

Even though his face had changed under the influence of the human skin mask, Lin Chen could still recognize that it was Qiss.

A voice told him that he must send the statue of the Holy Child to the Blue Frog Hospital as soon as possible, otherwise Qisi's life would be in danger.

This is undoubtedly a threat from an unknown entity.

Lin Chen had no doubt about the authenticity of the information. His heart seemed to be bound by an invisible thread, unable to move.

Something happened to Qisi, what should he do? Qisi could obviously hide his evil deeds, but he did not do so. Instead, he risked his life to find a way out for him. He could not abandon Qisi...

"Lin Chen, don't listen to anyone except me." Qisi's voice was weak, sounding very weak, "Don't come to Blue Frog Hospital without my instructions."

Is this... afraid that I will be coerced into taking risks?

Lin Chen asked tentatively: "Brother Qi, are you in trouble? I just saw you were injured..."

He briefly described the scene that flashed through his mind.

Qisi pondered for two seconds and said: "You read that right, I did encounter some troubles, but they are not fatal for the time being. You are my last resort. You are the only one I can trust. Just treat me as a gamble." Master, make a desperate bet."

The exact same lines triggered memories of the past, and Lin Chen's nose felt sore, as if he had returned to the later stage of the copy of "Rose Manor".

The situation was similar at that time. Qisi was in a desperate situation and said this to him, asking him to sneak attack Chang Xu...

This time, he must not miss like last time.

"Yes, Brother Qi." Lin Chen said clearly, "I'll be at the pond in one minute. You can come over at any time."

"Wait for my order," said Zeiss.

He leaned back against the slippery wall, the wound on his shoulder no longer bleeding.

It wasn't as if the bleeding had been stopped, but rather as if the only blood that could flow had been drained away.

Apart from the bone-piercing pain of the first two stabbings, Qiss couldn't feel much pain now.

This seemed to be one of the effects of being transformed into a ghost. All the senses became a little dull, and everything seemed to be facing him from a distance through a layer of veil.

As a result, he can stay awake and think and plan calmly.

"You bad guy! You tricked me into eating dirty food!" Cheng Xiaoyu swore vaguely while chewing on Qisi's arm.

Qisi sighed: "You obviously want to eat it yourself, how can you blame me? Besides, you also heard that I am your father's other personality. Are you sure you want to continue to do the following?"

Cheng Xiaoyu fell silent, let go of his mouth and took two steps back, tilting his head to think.

Qisi moved his bone-white right arm slightly and continued to reason: "Cheng Xiaoyu, in a sense, I am also your father. Your father who is the dean obviously does not love you and will not even give you candy. Let’s eat…”

Cheng Xiaoyu: "..."

…

Blue Frog Hospital, by the pond.

Cheng Ping saw a chubby figure standing in the middle of the pond from a distance, with a red and black crystal pendulum wrapped around his neck, which was particularly eye-catching.

He understood in an instant where the faint uneasiness in his heart came from.

In other parts of the Frog Hospital, it doesn't matter how many people are killed, but there is one place where there cannot be too many corpses.

The more dead people are consumed in the pond, the stronger the power will be after the Lord arrives, and the more detrimental it will be to maintaining balance...

The number "one thousand" was the only standard answer that [Weird Game] told him. He couldn't imagine what would happen if something went wrong.

He was afraid that the players would discover this and use it as a threat, so he deliberately released false information to make others think that killing more people anywhere would cause trouble to him...

But why would anyone bypass the suspicion he deliberately set up and discover the truth behind it?

"Who is a serious person who keeps a diary?" Qisi looked at Cheng Ping who had left and returned with a bright smile, "The more colorful you write, the more detailed the information you see for me, the more curious I am about what you want. What kind of facts are you trying to cover up..."

"Do you really think I believed what you said? If the truth is what you said, it's just that you didn't react in time when I killed Huang Xiaofei; when I killed Lu Zimo, why didn't you stop me?"

"I think you were probably still rejoicing at that time. It would be better for all the miscellaneous people to die outside, and not to die in the pond and pollute your ceremony. Am I right?"

Half an hour ago, Qisi wrapped a cursed pendulum around Sun Dekuan's neck and said to him: "If you don't want to die here like Lu Zimo, go to the middle of the pond and stand for half an hour."

Sun Dekuan agreed.

But how to prevent Cheng Ping from discovering his whereabouts was a problem.

Considering that the only two places that can be explored in the Frog Hospital are the fourth floor and the pond, and Cheng Ping did not discover that the players had poured out the tadpole soup, Qi Si directly asked Sun Dekuan to jump from the fourth floor.

He guessed correctly. The ground was right outside the fourth floor, and the first, second and third floors were all illusions. Sun Dekuan only stumbled and was not smashed into a pulp.

Afterwards, Sun Dekuan, with a sad face, spent ten minutes rushing to the center of the pond and standing still. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he would sort out this experience and post it on the forum after leaving the dungeon.

——It doesn’t matter if you don’t know your real name and real appearance. He has no other intentions. He just wants to thank these old bastards who helped him realize the dangers of society.

Twenty minutes later, Cheng Ping rushed to the pond, took a look, and turned away.

Cheng Ping warned Lin Chen not to bring the statue of the Son of God to the Blue Frog Hospital immediately.

Lin Chen turned around and passed the message to Qi Si.

Then, Qi Si activated the curse pendulum and killed Sun Dekuan.

The frogs returning from the hospital shared the newly dead bodies. A wisp of black smoke merged into the black cloud above the pond. The terrifying might pressed down heavily, and the corner of the white Virgin Mary's eye contained a drop of blood.

"Do you know what you did?" Cheng Ping asked angrily.

"The power of that lord is not something I can resist. You have created an unimaginable disaster with your own hands!"

In fact, Cheng Ping only needs to give up the last step of the ritual - merging the statue of the Son of God and the statue of the Virgin Mary, and all the bad situations will not happen.

But after investing so many years in the business, how can he be willing to give up at this time?

He hated the ruthlessness of those people, causing him to lose his wife and children and embark on such a road of no return.

He hated "that lord", who was evil and dangerous, making him feel terrified and had to spend a lot of energy to guard against him.

He hated Weird Game, who clearly cooperated with him, but the help provided was negligible.

He hated Qi Si, who was not deceived by him and even beat him.

Qi Si raised his eyelids and looked into Cheng Ping's eyes calmly: "Now, I have a deal here, I wonder if you are interested."

"I have a way to transform those sins that you are afraid of into usable power. If you are lucky, you may even be able to obtain the status of a god."

The white scepter appeared out of thin air in front of Qi Si's toes, standing steadily one centimeter away from him, emitting a lustrous milky white halo.

Cheng Ping saw the description of [Make you look more like a god (the more sins you absorb, the stronger the effect seems)], his body stagnated, and his hands trembled slightly.

Qi Si smiled at him, his eyebrows curved: "Dean Cheng, it is worth it for you to use a virtual hospital that is no longer used in exchange for a real way to become a god?" (End of this chapter)
