4. Chapter 4

The atmosphere in the restaurant was quite strange.

The old people were in pairs, and the new people were basically scared and just looking forward to being able to cling to someone.

Halfway through the meal, many people with small calculations came to the old people and took the initiative to flatter them.

Glasses was one of them.

Before entering the infinite loop, Glasses was just an ordinary office worker. He followed the rules and conscientiously completed his boss's arrangements and work, and never thought of committing a crime.

But now, he has entered this thrilling trainee competition with an uncertain future and dangers. Not only can he not go back, but he is also in danger of losing his life.

Because he has been sitting in the office for many years, Glasses is fat and weak, and he has no skills except work. His rating is the same as his lowest-level job in the real world, only F level. If he can't get a score above E level in the re-evaluation of this game, he will die.

No one wants to die, and Glasses is the same. So after entering the first game, he started to make his own calculations.

After the nurse opened the door, he immediately rolled and crawled to the restaurant upstairs, silently observing everyone who came in from the entrance.

After all, waiting is useful. Glasses has a more comprehensive understanding of the trainees in this session.

There are two people with S-level badges, three A-level, more than a dozen B-level, more C-level and D-level, but the most are E-level and F-level like him.

Among them, the S-level with long black hair has a cold expression, and the momentum around him seems to be frozen.

The other blond boss who is also S-level has a smile like spring breeze, and even wearing a hospital gown can't hide the holy aura on him.

Before Glasses mustered up the courage to step forward, he saw that several E-level and F-level who had the same idea as him took the lead and walked towards the two S-levels with plates.

Zhuge An didn't even raise his eyelids, just put down his chopsticks, and said nothing, and scared the newcomers to tremble.

Unexpectedly, the other blond boss did not respond coldly to the newcomers' expressions, but smiled in understanding.

"You are all newcomers. I am the Messiah, you can just call me that."

Perhaps the boss's easy-going nature made the newcomers feel more at ease, so the newcomers immediately started to introduce themselves. Glasses observed for a while and joined in with a thick face.

They expressed their fears one by one, as well as their confusion about the current situation.

Messiah did not interrupt, but listened quietly, and nodded in approval after the last person finished speaking: "Indeed, the trainees with high ratings are basically survivors who have survived in the infinite loop for a period of time. You are still newcomers. It is indeed too cruel to throw you into the trainee selection without giving you any chance to grow."

"Don't worry." The blond young man looked gentle, "This is just the first game. If there is anything I can take care of, I will help you as much as possible."

In a place where many trainees cannot see, the barrage of onlookers also swiped a woo woo woo.

[Wow, the Holy Son is still so gentle, I am crying]

[Really like your name, the Holy Son who saves all living beings from fire and water 55555]

[I am about to cry when I see this scene. I was lucky enough to meet the Holy Son last time. He saved me like this, and gently comforted me that I was fine. Wow, he is a good man in the modern era]

"......The Holy Son is still the same."

He Jianlan took a bite of ham, "Those newcomers are obviously flattering and deliberately exaggerating the facts."

When he said this, a rich newcomer was shouting that as long as Messiah protected him, he would promise him a huge sum of seven figures after returning. Messiah didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kept saying that it was no need, it was just a small favor.

Qin also glanced at it without interest, "He is not always like this."

Among the top ten trainees, Messiah is the most popular except for that one.

Because he is a recognized good man in the infinite loop.

Many old survivors were once newcomers, and many old survivors also received the Messiah's grace when they were newcomers, and there are many who repay him with gratitude.

In a world full of treacherous things like infinite loops, such a character is very rare, and it is easy to become a spiritual leader. The title of Holy Son is given to him by the survivors out of respect.

Messiah's own strength is unfathomable, and his character is good, so there are always many people around him. Even if there are people who don't like him and secretly think he is hypocritical, they are silent under the strength of him and his followers.

For example, now, those newcomers are almost building a shrine on the spot to worship Messiah. Looking at him is like seeing the Virgin Mary descending to the earth, and they wish they could stay with him for three days and three nights without leaving.

He Jianlan sighed in his heart that he was short-sighted, and then retracted his gaze.

It's good to follow Messiah, and maybe you can save your life. But the ratings of these newcomers in their personal shows probably won’t be that high. The Messiah can protect them for a while but not for a lifetime, and they will still have to die when it’s time to die.

All newcomers who enter the infinite cycle must go through life and death before they can have the awareness of their own struggle. If they hide their heads or rely on others, they will only end up dead.

When he retracted his sight, He Jianlan's peripheral vision accidentally swept across the corner of the restaurant and paused unconsciously for a moment.

The white-haired young man with a stunning appearance was sitting quietly in the corner, mechanically lifting and putting down the spoon.

He half lowered his head, and from this angle, only a beautifully shaped jawline could be seen.

This newcomer is quite interesting.

He Jianlan narrowed his eyes.

Almost all the newcomers in the hall, let alone newcomers, even several C-levels have a tendency to surround Messiah for shelter. Everyone has the idea of ​​not taking advantage of the opportunity.

In this environment, this white-haired man can still sit quietly, neither humble nor arrogant, and even didn't even look back, which is obviously very unusual.

"Old Qin, what do you think about that random task?"

Qin was also impatient, "What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, just say it."

He hated people who had a hard time talking, but unfortunately his partner was such a guy who liked to say something with a hint of meaning.

He Jianlan was a B-level player, but because he had a special prop, many A-level players were a little afraid of him. Especially after he and Qin Ye formed a partnership, he was like a tiger with wings, and his combat power doubled. This time, he was lucky enough to be assigned to the same venue, and many old people in the restaurant were envious.

"I said, don't keep looking at Zhuge An when you have a little doubt. If they notice it, you don't know when they will count you in." He Jianlan said helplessly, "Think about what Zhuge An did in the 'Cursed Mask', don't step into their chessboard without knowing it."

These words really worked. Qin Ye immediately withdrew his gaze with a stinky face.

He Jianlan was speechless. By the way, he silently raised the white-haired newcomer's suspicion list by several levels.

Just at this time, Zong Jiu finished his meal.

He seemed not to notice the scrutiny from all directions, but quietly placed his chopsticks, lowered his head, and wondered what he was thinking.

Logically speaking, beauties always attract attention. But the white-haired young man's aura and alienation were too strong, and no one dared to come forward and talk to him for a while.

The boy who had been watching from a distance for a long time finally plucked up the courage and sat opposite him with a plate.

Zong Jiu closed his live broadcast room and raised his eyes lightly.

In just one meal, the number of people in his live broadcast room jumped from zero to several thousand. Perhaps this is the privilege of being good-looking.

Sitting down was a very shy boy, not only his face but also his demeanor were still immature, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the look he gave him contained gratitude and trepidation.

"I, I, I'm Sheng Yu."

Seeing the white-haired young man looking at him, Sheng Yu even began to stutter, "Thank you before."

As if afraid that Zong Jiu would not remember, the high school student quickly added in a low voice, "In the dormitory before, thanks to your reminder."

After Sheng Yu said this, Zong Jiu found some memories.

The other party was also a member of the E-level eight-person dormitory.

The young man looked at him quietly, until Sheng Yu was frightened, he nodded indifferently, "It was your own choice that saved you."

This is not wrong. Didn't Xia Chuan not believe what he said?

If Sheng Yu himself didn't believe it, he would only end up like Xia Chuan.

Sheng Yu wanted to say more, but the noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet as if a pause was pressed.

"Da, da, da."

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the tiles rang out.

A nurse in a nurse's uniform walked in. They looked indifferent, and the leader was holding a swaying oil lamp in his hand. It was the female nurse who opened the door for Zong Jiu earlier.

These nurses all had pale faces, not normal pale or anemic pale, but rather a strange paleness.

Experienced old people subconsciously looked behind them.

Unexpectedly, under the cover of the incandescent light in the restaurant, black shadows were quietly floating on the clean tiles, which also proved their identity as human beings.

"You are all new patients admitted this morning. The schedule of activities of this hospital is posted on the wall over there. In addition, I only remind you of a few points."

"One: No night tours. Two: No fighting between patients. Three: Absolutely obey the orders of medical staff."

The head nurse said in a cold tone: "If you try to violate it, you will be put in the confinement room at the least, or forced to receive treatment at the worst, depending on the severity of your illness. Believe me, you don't want to try it one by one."

No one in the restaurant said a word, as quiet as being in a grave.

"Very good, you are much more obedient than the last batch of patients admitted to the hospital."

Obviously, this attitude satisfied the head nurse, and a rare smile flashed across her harsh face.

"Cooperating with our treatment will only benefit your own condition. I am very pleased that you can figure this out."

The newcomers following Messiah were shaking like sieves, and they didn't dare to ask where the previous batch of patients had gone.

"Okay, the rules are over, now let's start lining up to take the medicine."

The head nurse waved her hand, and the nurses behind her walked out of the shadows one by one with medicine bottles, distributing pills and water to the trainees in the restaurant one by one.

The trainees exchanged glances in private.

Sheng Yu whispered to him what to do.

Zong Jiu didn't say anything.

The white-haired young man brought the pill to his face and smelled it, frowning slightly.

Take it or not?

There was no label on the medicine bottle, and they had no idea what medicine it was. But combined with the dizziness and weakness they felt when they just woke up, this was probably a sedative or antipsychotic drug commonly used in mental hospitals.

The unknown medicine in the mysterious and strange hospital, you can tell with your toes that it is not to be taken. What's more, they don't have mental illness at all.

As if they had guessed what the trainees were thinking, several nurses stood there, distributing pills while staring at everyone with sharp eyes, and wanted to see them swallow the pills before distributing the next one.

If they didn't eat it, they would violate the third rule. No one wanted to be the first guinea pig to experience the confinement room mentioned by the head nurse.

A nurse said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't waste time."

Everyone hesitated for a moment and showed their skills.

Glasses quietly looked up at Messiah who was drinking water and swallowing the pills.

But unfortunately, due to the angle, he couldn't see whether the other party had swallowed the pill in his hand.

The nurse who was staring at Messiah moved her eyes away with satisfaction and fell on Glasses.

The cluster of eyes made Glasses feel cold on his back, and he quickly stuffed the white pill into his mouth with trembling.

"What else can I do, just eat it."

On the other side, Zong Jiu's fingers moved slightly and threw the pill directly into his mouth.

After everyone had swallowed the pills, the head nurse suddenly ordered, "Roll up their sleeves, open their mouths, and lift their tongues."

It was over.

Yan Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care about the lack of water at this time, so he swallowed it dry with saliva. Many people in the restaurant had the same reaction as him. The worst was an overly nervous trainee, who was directly startled and coughed repeatedly, and accidentally coughed out the unswallowed pills, which rolled to the ground with saliva.

The trainee's face was now as pale as the nurses.

The head nurse sneered and waved her hand. A group of burly nurses appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the trainee's feet, and dragged him away without saying anything, disappearing into the dark corridor.

[Fuck, this kind of coercion looks so scary...]

[To be honest, in this kind of horror dungeon, the first one is usually killed as an example to scare the monkeys. Miserable. I guess they can't come back]

[This dungeon is not easy. They start with a big move. I'm curious about what medicine the head nurse gave them]

[Going back upstairs, it should be antipsychotic drugs such as Lumina, Chlorprothixene or Chlorpromazine]

After a while, the screams of the trainees in the corridor stopped abruptly, and the next moment, the heavy iron door was locked.

This is confinement.

The restaurant was quiet, and no one spoke.

Seeing that the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was achieved, the head nurse nodded with satisfaction, left a word of free activities and turned away.

Not all the trainees who entered this venue gathered in the restaurant. A few people chose to explore directly. Presumably, these nurses still have to deliver medicine to those people.

Zong Jiu stared at the white corners of the nurses' clothes disappearing into the darkness, and suddenly curled his lips and turned over his palm.

Like a magic trick, a white pill was lying quietly in his palm.
