Chapter 548

After Mr. Hood finished speaking, he winked at Jenkins, who was sitting next to him, and motioned for Jenkins to also let the noble lady use the pistol. Bryony's character card did say she carried a pistol and even a small fragmentation steam bomb, but Jenkins wasn't going to do that.

Chapter 1334 Chapter 1311 The Third Curse

"I object. It is impossible for two wolves to attack a noble lady."

Jenkins said at the table.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Mr. Corpse asked.

"Because the noble lady Michael is standing next to the writer William, and wild animals will never attack the writer if they have other goals, so the noble lady and the businessman's daughter beside the writer each have to face Three wild wolves."

He explained it this way, and then added without pause:

"This is not a random fabrication, Mr. Corpse. You are the host of the story, so you should naturally know whether it is reasonable."

He said loudly, and then looked at Hathaway:

"So your writer doesn't have to stand in the way of the wolf, he can do whatever he wants at the moment he's attacked."

The cat lying next to Jenkins stared at him with wide eyes, then looked at Hathaway, and then at the wooden sculptures on the table surrounded by wolf sculptures. It had not encountered such an interesting thing in a long time.

"How did you know?"

After a long time, Mr. Corpse asked.

"I was once asked to investigate Jenkins Willamette, and I know a lot about him."

Jenkins said the answer he had prepared, and then saw that the wolf statue on the table really moved and automatically avoided the writer and his cat.

"Mr. Bailing, what are you still hesitating about? Respond quickly. This character is obtained by rolling 100 points. Don't waste his role."

Hathaway seemed to have just come to her senses and hurriedly flipped through the silver metal sheet that recorded the author's information.

"The writer uses the skill [Ice Condensation] to condense the water vapor in the air into ice, temporarily blocking the wild wolves that rush towards the explorers. Because the fog in the hospital courtyard is heavy and the moisture is sufficient, this can success."

she said, then rolled the dice. Because the ability value was [83], it was a success without exception.

Several others who did not respond also asked the explorers under their command to respond.

The wild wolf on the table no longer jumped around everyone, but actually charged forward. Each statue acted according to the command just now, and Jenkins' wooden sculpture pulled Britney's wooden sculpture behind him - an order Hathaway did not give, and then waved his hand into the air in front of him.

A blue light suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light was even brighter than the lightning that flashed outside the window just now. The blue light went out, and a circle of miniature sharp ice spikes appeared connected to the ground and surrounded the five explorers. The seven faster wild wolves on the sharp ice spikes were still wailing and struggling, and the remaining metal statues had been pinched. Fleeing away with his tail.

"This ability... is a bit too powerful, right?"

Jenkins heard Mr. White Cat say hesitantly.

"The other party is a Level 4 Gifter after all. Maybe his specialized ability is ice condensation."

Mr. Hood defended the writer because he knew that any information about these five adventurers would be very sensitive for him and his friends. While the story is still going on, for the sake of unity, some things can be left undiscussed.

After repelling the wolf's attack, it took some effort for the five people and one cat to jump out of the circle of ice spikes. Then they continued to choose the building that should be explored. Because Jenkins was determined not to go to the morgue where Mr. Corpse held the party first, so under his guidance, they chose the only two-story administrative building behind the main building. The purpose is to explore whether hospital administrators know the root cause of what is happening here.

There is also a cursed skeleton and evil spirit in this building. This time the evil spirit used the characteristics of the spirit body to launch attacks directly from the wall. However, despite the counterattack of the two benefactors, they still could not survive the two. round.

Its bones were under the collapsed cabinet, covered by the rags of the curtains. It was unclear how it died.

This time, the same decision was made as before. After burning the bones, a group of five people searched the building inside and out. In the end, it was the useless aristocratic young lady Blainey and the businessman's daughter controlled by Mr. Hood who made the discovery. The former found a note with a strong musty smell in the broken wardrobe in the room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. , the note was in the pocket of a tattered black formal suit; the latter was found in the account book on the second floor, and it was found that there was something wrong with the account.

"The noble lady showed her discovery to her friends. On the note was the phrase, 'It is about to escape, deep in the morgue.' The explorers were deeply disturbed by the appearance of the note, because They have been trying their best to avoid entering that unlucky place. As for the account books on the second floor, although the accountant's methods are very clever, the numbers are difficult to falsify. The businessman's daughter can easily see that since the summer of fourteen years ago. At first, the hospital would have a large amount of unexplained expenditure every week, but in the winter of that year, inexplicable income made up the difference.

"There must be something terrible in the morgue of the hospital, and it was created by the hospital itself. It is estimated that the money was used to control the terrible thing in the morgue, but it was only later that it could not be controlled and it turned into a curse. ”

Mr. Hood guessed, and then asked Miss Magic:

"Do you know of a creature or curse that fits this profile?"

"Knowing too much, it's hard to say what's there before giving further characteristics. You also know that there are too many strange things underground in Nolan, and many outsiders have come in recent decades, so the hospital dug up The possibilities are there.”

Miss Magic replied.

Just at this time, there was another thunder outside the window. The white light that flashed across the sky in an instant and the rumbling sound that followed made the group of people feel very heavy.

Because the curse has been released to the city for the third time before, the situation outside looks quite bad. At this time, the fire in the fireplace in the room has completely blocked the natural light outside. In the eyes of the players at the table, the outside is more terrifying than the deepest night.

"According to custom, the morgue of Nolan Hospital is built on the ground and is a separate building. Maybe we can go to the short building over there that looks the shabbiest."

Mr. White Cat suggested while looking at the scenery on the table, but this was a wrong view. Jenkins knew that the morgue was not in that building, and even knew that it was not on the ground.

But there was no need for him to point that out, because he didn't want to just go there until he figured out what was going on here.

The group of people voted and chose the short building for the next adventure. Then when going up the stairs, the collapse of the stairs almost killed the sailor walking in the front.

Chapter 1335 Chapter 1312: Riding the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Without the stairs, everyone would naturally not be able to go to the second floor. Only when checking the stairs at the end, because Hathaway made multiple successful rolls in succession for the writer's character's detection, the players received unexpected news:

"Although it looked like an accidental collapse, the writers carefully looked at the remains of the stairs that fell to the ground and found that the stone was not as damaged as they thought."

"It means that the break here is not a natural phenomenon. Someone made it break. Someone didn't want us to go upstairs."

Hathaway concluded, and given that this was information she had obtained through multiple successful dice rolls, it wasn't like someone was deliberately trying to lure them upstairs.

Now that they know this, the five people are even more interested in the upstairs. It's just that the stairs from the first floor to the second floor completely collapsed. Such a high height cannot be overcome by just jumping on the spot.

Later, the players controlled the explorers and found some tall furniture and moved it to the stairs, so that they could barely ensure that they climbed to the second floor. But just as the group was preparing to take action, Mr. Corpse gave him bad news:

"The temporary stairs you built with furniture are too dangerous, so the merchant's daughter and the noble girl cannot climb up. If you want to continue exploring the second floor, you must leave the two of them on the first floor."

"This is not okay!"

Hathaway was the first to say, and then defended:

"This is too dangerous. In this case, two women with only pistols are left on the first floor. It is basically a dead end. Maybe we can let more people stay on the first floor to protect them, and the remaining people go to the second floor. explore."

Others did not know her relationship with the noble lady, and she was manipulating the most powerful person, so the three people at the round table except Jenkins were all moved by Hathaway's "selflessness".

In the end, it was discussed that because the writer's martial arts was too outstanding, he should go alone to explore the unknown area on the second floor. The remaining countess and sailor stayed on the first floor to protect the two young ladies who did not have much fighting ability. If danger occurred, they could at least hold on until the writer came back from the second floor.

Mr. Corpse asked everyone to move separately. I don't know whether it was the arrangement of the story or his own will that was hindering it. In short, as soon as the writer arrived on the second floor, he immediately encountered a new evil spirit. At the same time, Mr. Corpse also announced that everyone on the first floor had encountered a ghoul.

"Ghoul? But why are there ghouls here?"

Hathaway questioned.

"This is an abandoned hospital. Isn't it a good place for ghouls and other creatures to hide? You just happened to disturb the residents here at an inappropriate time."

"But that's not right. The alien ghouls are also smart enough. Even if they adapt to this environment, they will not choose such a cursed place to make their home."

Jenkins immediately retorted that all five people knew that Nolan did have ghouls because Mr. White Cat mentioned it last time.

"Although I am the host and narrator of the story, everything that happens in the story has an inherent logic. It is as if you can constantly update the character cards you hold through questioning, and even reverse some of the things that have already happened. Story. I can also tell you that since it appears, there must be a reason for it to appear. This is not deliberately targeting you.”

Mr. Corpse said this methodically.

"Is it reasonable? The ghoul that shouldn't be here appears here because someone invited it to appear today?"

Jenkins said sarcastically, but Mr. Corpse ignored the sarcasm and continued the story:

"Then it's time to fight. Now the evil spirits on the second floor use their spiritual nature to confront the writer through a wall, so the writer has no way to rescue you. Before the first round of action, please ask the four people on the first floor to throw The dice determine the physique. If it fails, the character you control will be poisoned and comatose due to the [poison] when the ghoul appears.”

The four people cast two heavy metal dice one after another, and the result was not optimistic. As a benefactor, the female countess was not even as good as a sailor in terms of physique, so she failed the first one. The subsequent Sailor's throw succeeds, but the Merchant's Daughter's throw fails. And Jenkins even threw 94 points for Bryony, which means that after calculating Mr. Corpse's mandatory bonus just now, Jenkins rolled a negative number this round, which would lead to an accident.

"The ghoul was peeping at the adventurers in the dark corner. After confirming that the most threatening writer had left, it couldn't wait to appear in front of the four of them. The toxins on the ghoul immediately affected the businessman's behavior. The lady and the lordess fell to the ground in a coma. The noble girl who was standing closest to the ghoul not only fell into a coma, but because she was too close to the inhuman alien species, her spirit came into contact with an existence that should not be touched, and she was in a coma. , she witnessed..."

"Please wait, the noble girl I hold cannot witness any strange existence. This is absolutely impossible."

Jenkins said again that he felt he had touched the true meaning of the game.

"Why is it impossible? Please don't tell me. The noble girl has a strong faith and strong will, so the gods protect her from evil intrusion."

This should be Mr. Corpse's sarcasm, but because his tone did not rise and fall at all, the sarcasm was not obvious.

"Of course that's not the case. The noble girl carries a piece of jewelry that is directly related to God. At least until this piece of jewelry expires, it is absolutely impossible for her to come into contact with other weird beings."

Jenkins said with certainty, because she knew that Britney would carry the small jewelry he gave before, which had his real name on it.

"I don't know if what you said is true or not, and even if it is true, the so-called god-related item may not really be useful. Please update the character card and let us see how the story will proceed."

As Jenkins pulled the character card from the hidden compartment, a small metal figurine representing the ghoul appeared on the set. The merchant's daughter, the Baroness, and Brienne immediately fell unconscious and fell to the ground. At the same time, a black mist fell from the sky and surrounded Britney, but golden light was immediately released from Brienne's body, temporarily dispersing the black mist.

"Throwing luck."

Mr. Corpse said.

Jenkins did so and succeeded.

"Just when the noble girl was about to fall into a coma and saw the great and indescribable devourer that the ghouls believed in, an inexplicable light emitted from her wrist, and the power of God pulled this fragile soul back. But The jewelry also lost its power and shattered into mortal objects. It could no longer function, and the noble girl woke up...she could fight."

Chapter 1336 Chapter 1313 The Mine Under the Hospital

"The noble girl shot at the ghoul!"

Jenkins said immediately, not giving Mr. Corpse time to add the "first strike" tag to the ghoul.

"The sailor picked up the merchant's daughter's pistol and shot it too!"

Mr. White Cat also said.

The sailor's firearm usage value was quite high. Even though Brienne's shot missed, he still hit the ghoul's eye. Although this damage does not constitute a fatal blow to the terrifying alien species, it effectively delays its attack again.

The time bought was enough for Hathaway to manipulate the writer on the second floor to punch through the wall to kill the evil spirit, and then jump directly back to the first floor through the hole in the floor.

From the moment Jenkins's failure value exceeded 100, Hathaway became a little impatient. She was quite unskilled when directing the writers to act, and always used the most direct method to act.

After temporarily repelling the ghoul and resolving the crisis, she even warned Jenkins directly:

"Please carefully consider the possible consequences of your actions before you speak or act next time. You know, your carelessness just almost cost an innocent ordinary girl her life! No, you may even cause our story to end! "

She was exaggerating, but Jenkins understood Hathaway's sentiments. If he were Hathaway, he would be even more anxious. It’s unimaginable how many times Hathaway has been worried and frightened from the beginning of the story to now. Jenkins wants to apologize to her, but now is not a good time.

"I see."

He maintained the character setting of Mr. Candle and spoke unhurriedly. The magical lady on the side seemed to want to defend Jenkins, but after thinking about it, she still didn't speak because she saw Mr. Hood's eyes hinting to her not to speak at this time.

Among the other three people except Hathaway and Jenkins, he was the only one who vaguely saw the clue. Mr. Bailing most likely also knew the noble lady Mihail, and had a quite deep friendship.

Of course, Mr. Hood won't point this out, it's other people's privacy. Just like what he said just now, revealing other people's secrets at this time will only make the story more complicated.

Although he failed to kill the ghoul, at least it was seriously injured and repelled, and he probably won't come back for a while. After confirming that the enemy had retreated, the story continued. Hathaway directed the writer to continue exploring the second floor, and then effortlessly found a skeleton with a hat in the corner of the closet in the largest room.

"This is already the fourth body, should we burn it? I'm really worried now whether all this can really be saved once we release all the curses to Nolan."

Hathaway asked her companions at the table. Others had similar doubts. But the situation had developed to the point where there was no room for hesitation, so the fourth skeleton was also burned.

At the same time that the small flames were jumping on the desktop background, a heavy rain began to fall in the dark night-like urban area of ​​Nolan outside the window. Compared with the thunder and lightning that strikes from time to time, this heavy rain is nothing, but spring is not the rainy season in Nolan, and such rain is rare in this season.

In addition to the skeleton, the writer under Hathaway's command, under the influence of the [Cat Training] ability, successfully discovered a small drawer of gems and several letters from the hidden compartments in the beams.

Those gems have been appraised by the female countess and the noble girl Michael, and they are all high-end luxury goods with genuine value. Although the writers of the letters are different, the recipients are all "Dean Foster".

The content of the letter was still Mr. Corpse telling everyone that a small high-quality ruby ​​mine had been discovered directly beneath the abandoned hospital. The writers of those letters conspired with "Dean Foster" to hide the gem mine and develop it independently, without notifying the true owner of the hospital land and avoiding paying taxes to the city hall.

Through the sailor's [Investigation] and the Countess's [Investigation], it was later discovered that there were several lines of very small text on the inside of the envelope. These words, which appear only in later-dated envelopes, mention something extraordinary that seemed to have been unearthed during the secret excavation.

"Isn't this a bit cliché? Greedy mining of minerals has released the darkness and evil underground, causing huge disasters. Among contemporary books, probably only knight novels still use such vulgar plots."

Miss Magic said this.

"But the letter has been identified as being written more than ten years ago, so it is not someone who deliberately designed to deceive us. Moreover, the broken staircase just now looks like it is deliberately blocking us from going upstairs, or deliberately separating the five adventurers. , so these letters found from upstairs are extremely credible.”

This is Mr. Hood's opinion, and everyone agrees with it.

"Just now we found a note saying that something was escaping from the morgue, and then we found that the items in the account book were wrong. So, is the entrance to the mine in the morgue? The money that disappeared in the autumn fourteen years ago The money is used for initial mining investment, and will be returned after making money after half a year? "

Mr. White Cat reasoned, and then asked Hathaway:

"Mr. Bailing, should we directly search for the location of the morgue next? I remember you said that there is a map of the hospital hanging opposite the stairwell on the second floor."

This is the most reasonable approach at present, but Jenkins always has concerns about the familiar underground morgue. It's hard to say whether there is an entrance to the mine there, but there must be means arranged by Mr. Corpse there.

Jenkins is determined to tell what he knows about Mr. Corpse, but the only advantage he has against Mr. Corpse at present is that he knows about Mr. Corpse and Mr. Corpse does not know that he knows.

"This is a bit too risky. I think it would be safer to explore the entire hospital before going to the morgue."
