Chapter 472: Cursed Hospital (10)
Looks like you are not one of the patients here Feng Bujue asked probingly. His hands had not stopped moving but neither had his brain. The content of the story, the tone that she used, the dress that she wore, they all pointed towards the same messageshe might be one of the first ghosts to inhabit this hospital.
Why would you say that? The girl asked.
I have seen the map for this floor for about 3 to 4 times already and have been going around. I can confirm that there are only 18 rooms with numbers on this side of the hospital near the lobby, in other words, room 101 to 118, and on the other side of the hospital, block B is the cafeteria and the room number should start with 101B Feng Bujue added. So this room 125 should not exist in the first place.
After hearing that, the girl did not reply but sit that wordlessly.
[What's going on what I said couldn't trigger the next event? Or Something bad has already been triggered?] Feng Bujue thought. [or It's because I haven't braided her hair?]
if you do not know how to do this, let's not waste time. At this point, the girl suddenly said to change topic.
Erm Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and hesitated. During this two seconds, he considered his options. Okay In the end, he chosen to give up.
Put down the comb. The girl said coldly, I'll do it myself. She said as she raised her small hand and then added. According to our promise, this is yours A candy mysteriously appeared in her palm. It was a rectangular candy wrapped in a black wrapper. It gave off a faded scent of grains.
Name: Little Black Rabbit Milk Candy
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: perhaps you can use it to trade something
Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: Snack with a strange taste, beloved by the White Wolf Race.
[Phew so I only needed to hand her the comb.] Brother Jue was feeling relief inside. He quickly placed the comb on the bedside table and then reached out to take the candy.
Uncle, you have more things to do right After handing over the candy, the girl said. She lifted her face up to stare at Brother Jue. You better move fast You're running out of time.
Chill complete chill..
The girl's words were like a pail of chill water, drenching brother Jue. This was not a descriptive sentence, but an actual chill was suffocating Feng Bujue.
Then I will leave now When Feng Bujue said that, he could see clearly the white puff of mist that came out from his lips. When he opened the game menu to look, he was suffering from the 'frozen' debuff. All these changes pointed to one thinghe should leave as soon as possible.
[Looks like this Room 125 is similar to the security room Only the event has been triggered, the player has to leave immediately or else it's certain death.] Feng Bujue concluded. Since he already realized something was wrong, there was nothing worth hesitating He grabbed his flashlight and turned to run.
Brother Jue wasn't slow but he was still too late In these few short seconds, a pair of invisible and giant cold hands gripped him in its palms. Jolts of pain shot from his joints, his muscles turned numb
The door that was just metres away felt like it was more than 100 metres away each step drained him greatly.
What the fuck! It was not Feng Bujue's intentionally to curse When he opened his lips, the chewing gum fell out from his lips and that caused his to curse. Turns out the chewing gum had frozen into an ice cube. If he did not spit it out, the blob of thing would freeze in his mouth and then get stuck in his throat.
this can't be the end Feng Bujue looked at his fast dropping Life Points and was honestly shocked. Five seconds later, he gritted his teeth and moved to the door and found his hands clutching the doorknob. Thankfully, this part was not that difficult, with a twist, the door swung open.
Just a little bit more Brother Jue used all his energy and half tumbled, half rolled out of the room. At the same time, he slammed the door to Room 125 close.
Bang!
After the door slammed shut, the chill disappeared instantly. Feng Bujue knelt in the corridor for some time before he caught his breath again. The returning temperature rapidly undid his frozen condition and the loss of Life Points had stopped.
That was so close He collapsed to the ground and picked up the flashlight that rolled to his leg. He mumbled. That was a bit too sudden he took out the candy from his pocket, placed it in the middle of his palm to study. That was not even an actual 'side quest' but it was so difficult? Could it be With a flash in his eyes, the expression his face changed.
Hmm I get it now. Feng Bujue sighed a long sigh and stood up. In any case I better find 'that key' first
Half an hour passed just like that Feng Bujue walked out from the dark alley and mumbled, So the key to the paediatric clinic is not at this area When he returned to the relatively brighter area, he switched off the flashlight and pocketed it. Thankfully I did not come out empty-handed Obviously the quest given by the Goblin was not as easy as it appeared
When Brother Jue left Room 125 and turned back to look, the room had already disappeared. Then he tried all the room in the dark corner of the hospital other than the previous nursery that he visited, only two doors were open, the rest all said that they 'could not be opened.'
Therefore, he ransacked the two available rooms he ended up with two items but neither of them was a key.
The first was:
Item: Torn X Ray Film
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Broken
Function: Unknown
Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: Only half of the film is left. A blurry image seems to appear when shone against a light source
This was found on the back of a scorched body of a child. When Brother Jue planned to remove this 'half' film, the system warned him, This X Ray is stuck on some charred material, tearing it out might damage it.
With such a clear hint, Brother Jue knew what to do. With the hairspray, he slowly slid the film out from the carcass. And the second object that he found was undoubtedly the second half of the film. But in the end, Feng Bujue did not take the completed film with him because they were technically worthless, the useful thing was the six digits recorded on the two separate films
In the dark, Brother Jue used the flashlight to discern the true function of these two objects. So after he got out, he rushed to Room 109 and danced to the treasure box. The window floated up and the hint to key in 6 digits appeared again.
203040 After keying in this password, the system announced. Correct password.
With a click, the box opened. Brother Jue anticipated that he would obtain some useful equipment or skill card but
Name: Key to the (emergency) paediatric clinic
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Can't you read?
Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: Strange why would this key be locked inside a treasure box and why would the password be recorded on a X Ray film? And why would the film be torn into two halves and hidden separately? What is going on?
Yes indeed, what is going on! Feng Bujue repeated this malicious remark and roared. The system has done all the mocking already! By the way, the keys are the strangest object in this puzzle okay? You place the key to Room A in Room B but then hid the key to Room B in Room C, it's an endless circle with endless riddles that's the most illogical thing, isn't it?!
Indeed In conclusion, most horror games used this method to create a pathway for the players so that they would explore the map according to the dev's intented route.
Hmph After shouting his disgruntlement, Brother Jue felt better. never mind, at least a mission is done. He took the key and left to head to the paediatric clinic not far away. He used the key to open the door. The place was dark and he used the flashlight to look around. The atmosphere was quite scary but nothing came out to scare him, but even if there was Brother Jue would be unfazed. It did not take long for him to find the quest item inside the drawer of an office table.
Name: Victor's Key
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Open the wine cellar at Victor's Home
Whether it can be taken out from the scenario: No
Remark: Many years ago, Victor Leadworks was just a secondhand dealer, a small character that no one knew until the day he got a mysterious recipe for a drink from a far away eastern country. After that, he started a steady trade with the dwarves and his business took out and soon became the richest goblin in the area. When asked about his secret to success, Victor always answered, 'The dwarves are generous entrepreneurs and my wine cellar is like a mint.'
So it is you! Feng Bujue was suddenly reminded of something, he shouted. A familiar name!
Indeed, Victor Leadworks was the person who swindled Zombie Must Die from the legendary dwarf blacksmith Orr All-Must-Die. Mr All-Must-Be had an epic life. He was scammed several times due to his propensity for women, money, alcohol and temper. But it was also due to these experience that he managed to forge so many legendary weapons.
And Victor was the first person to start the chapter of this legendary dwarf blacksmith's life
Hue Hue hue Feng Bujue started to laugh wickedly. It feels like I can use this to get something from him His face darkened and said sinisterly. Damn Victor if you do not cough up at least 10 legendary equipment, I swear I will swallow your key into my stomach
After knowing the history, Feng Bujue carefully put his leverage away and then walked out from the room and headed towards the cafeteria. He still had no idea there was another 'old friend' waiting for him there.
At the same time, inside the cafeteria's kitchen. A large mount of a person was working in front of the kitchen island. He had a human body but a pig's head. He wore a white tank top and camo pants over a big belly. The exposed skin was pink in color and the wiry muscles on his arms looked as firm as stone
Suddenly, he turned his head slightly to the left and said, Finally, he's here
He put down the long ladle, closed the lid over the pot and turned the fire down. Then he picked up a cleaver and walked out from the kitchen.
