Chapter 146

On the wall, the words [No. 03] Ward are so clear that they are almost dazzling.

Wen Jianyan stopped and turned to look behind her.

The corridor was pitch black, like a hollow and cold eye socket, there was no sound of footsteps, and the man's beastly figure could not be seen.

Edward did not follow.

In other words, it has not been chased for the time being.

At this time, Wen Jianyan suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Lu Si, and asked, "Speaking of which, you have encountered a patient who is in critical condition, right?"

Luce froze and nodded.

"I remember you said that patients are invincible in the other world? Then how did you escape in the end?"

There was a puzzled expression on Luce's face. Although he didn't know why Wen Jianyan asked this question suddenly, he still answered honestly:

"We dragged the patient with props, and then ran in the opposite direction with all our strength..."

"And then? Did you run out of that distorted space?" Wen Jianyan asked.

Luce nodded.

"So, when we got chased by that mad dog, did you get out of that messy hallway after we separated and ran away?"

Luce froze for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said, "No."

Although the killer with the ax didn't catch up, they ran wildly in the **** and **** corridor the whole timeuntil the bell rang.

It seems that this is the difference between high risk and medium risk.

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.

He had noticed it before when he was in the confinement room. It was obviously just a corridor leading straight to the end. He didn't go back the whole way, but Edward would appear in front of him.

Not because the map is circular, but simply because he can't leave.

The mental world of moderately critical patients can escape, but if you fall into the spiritual world of high-risk patients, the only thing you can do is wait until the bell rings and the world ends.

"In a sense, it's a good thing."

Wen Jianyan raised his head, glanced at Ward 03 on the wall, and said with a sigh of relief.

"Ah?" Huang Mao, who was bending over and panting, raised his head, with a puzzled expression on his face, "How can it be a good thing if you can't get out?"

Lu Si was stunned for a moment, and soon realized why Wen Jianyan asked this question: "Wait, so you mean..."

"Yes."

Wen Jianyan nodded.

Although the difficulty of the dungeon is great, it will definitely not give the main anchor a chance at all.

The state of these bosses in the inner world is almost invincible, which is already very unusual. If these inner worlds can still overlap, then the anchor may fall into a situation of confronting multiple unsolvable monsters...

Since the spiritual domain of high-risk patients forms a world of its own, it means that it is unlikely that these worlds will be stacked, and they may even be mutually exclusive.

This should also be a dungeon to prevent the anchor from falling into a situation where he is facing enemies from both sides and facing multiple bosses.

"So, we are considered to have escaped from Patient 01 now?"

After listening to the explanation, Huang Mao showed a relieved expression on his face.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, raised his eyes and glanced at the distant corridor with lingering fear, subconsciously lowered his voice, "And haven't you had time to enter the mental realm of patient 04?"

"That's right." Wen Jianyan gave an affirmative answer.

It has to be said that after learning of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The sense of danger and oppression on No. 04 is so strong that people don't want to have anything to do with him at all.

"Great," Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That guy really made me feel uncomfortable."

As the protagonist of the other party's painting, no one wants to meet No. 04 more than Wen Jianyan.

but

He lowered his eyes, a look of worry flashed across his eyes quickly.

Wen Jianyan didn't think that this mutually exclusive state could not be brokenotherwise, Dr. Reese would never know what he was doing in Edward's spiritual world.

But this must be conditional or limited.

After all, although Dr. Reese witnessed the scene where he persuaded Edward to commit suicide, he never showed up during the whole process.

The development of this dungeon so far is really too weird, which makes Wen Jianyan feel a faint sense of unease.

"In any case, let's not let our guard down so early." Luce said.

He turned his head, looked around slowly, and said in a low voice: "This patient No. 03 will be detained on the second basement floor, which means that the danger level will not be lower than that of No. 04."

To make matters worse, since the lights in the other party's ward were dimmed when the meal was delivered, they didn't take the meal box away until they left...

In other words, Patient 03 is completely unknown to them.

Gender, race, age, appearance, everything is blank.

And this hallway transformed from the opponent's spiritual world is terrifyingly empty. It is neither full of simple and straightforward violence and blood like Edward, nor is it like the paranoid critically ill patient Luce met. Bizarre.

This immeasurable unknown is especially frightening.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and swept towards the task bar - the tasks on it were refreshed at some point.

[Primary task released: found? ? ? ward]

[Intermediate task released: found? ? ? real name]

The two familiar tasks are now the only clues in their hands.

"Let's go, let's look forward."

Wen Jianyan suggested.

Instead of standing in the dark and waiting for the danger to come, it is better to take the time to explore before being discovered by the patients in Ward 03, and wait for the opportunity to complete the task, which may help improve their chances of survival.

He exchanged the flashlight, and walked forward cautiously under the guidance of the faint light.

The corridor was dark and long, with no windows, no doors, only a long, slender, endless corridor. The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every step seemed to be stepping on the heart.

Compared with Edward, the changes in this spiritual world are more serious, and it is almost impossible to see the original blueprint of the Ping An Sanatorium.

"It's too depressing, it's so infiltrating."

Huang Mao followed closely behind Wen Jianyan, muttering softly.

Obviously in the last dungeon, he still regarded Wen Jianyan as a scourge, but in this dungeon, the other party has become his main source of security.

Su Cheng looked at Wen Jianyan: "Do you need me to draw a card?"

Wen Jianyan shook her head: "No need for now."

It has not yet reached the point where divination is necessary, and the precious talent times cannot be wasted.

In the darkness, Huang Mao stopped suddenly.

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Wen Jianyan's cuff, with a trembling voice: "Front, there is something in front."

The rest of the people were shocked.

There was a dead silence around my ears.

Wen Jianyan subconsciously held her breath, turned her wrist slightly, and manipulated the flashlight to shine forward.

I saw a black rabbit doll sitting quietly in the middle of the corridor, its eyes were dull brown, and a small note was pressed under its body, with something written in scarlet scrawled on it.

"Come on, let's play hide and seek."

Huang Mao looked terrified, he stared straight at the note, and gently read the words written on it in a very low voice.

Several people looked at each other in surprise.

They didn't see any enemies, and they didn't hear any pursuit, but for some reason, a creepy chill slowly climbed up from their feet, chilling their spines and making their hairs stand on end.

"Continue to go."

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth and said.

The group took a deep breath, collected their minds, carefully avoided the black rabbit in the middle of the corridor, subconsciously quickened their pace, and hurried forward.

"Again, here we come again."

Huangmao tugged Wen Jianyan's sleeve tightly in horror, and said in a low voice.

Under the slightly flickering light of the flashlight, the second black rabbit doll appeared in front of everyone, with a note also pressed under its body.

"I'm a ghost."

Huang Mao read in a trembling tone.

After carefully avoiding the second rabbit, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace again.

The hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, messy and hurried, as if trying to escape from some invisible shadows.

The corridor was dark and deep, as if there was no end to it, and the walls on both sides were cold and solid, like a passage leading directly to hell.

Soon, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.

It radiates to the distance like a blood vessel, and it can't be seen at a glance.

The third black rabbit doll sat upright in front of the branching corridor, with a small note under its body.

Huang Mao's face had completely lost its color, it was as pale as paper, and Jean's shoulders trembled slightly, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and whispered in a suffocated voice:

"100."

At that moment, Wen Jianyan saw a brand new task pop up in the task bar again.

[The primary time-limited task has been released: find the hiding place within 100 seconds]

[Intermediate time-limited task has been released: the hiding place cannot be found]

Oh shit.

Wen Jianyan cursed inwardly, her voice rapid: "Hide separately!"

The dead silence was completely broken.

The sound of frantic footsteps echoed in all directions, and the six people dispersed at the fastest speed, running towards different corridors, trying to find a hiding place before the 60-second countdown ended.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm so nervous, help!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! The anchor runs away!"

99, 98, 97...

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth and ran wildly along the corridor she chose.

The huge maze seems to have no exit, and different forks lead to different branches, making people dizzy and not knowing where they are.

hide and seek.

where to hide

As he ran, he scanned the corridor with his eyes.

71, 70, 69...

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the countdown was slowly moving towards the end.

The walls were cold and smooth, extending straight into the darkness, with no doors, no rooms, no exits, and no entrances.

There is nowhere to hide.

what happened?

Wen Jianyan frowned slowly, with a puzzled look on his face.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Fuck, I've been running for a long time, why is there no door at all!"

"Are other anchors like this too?"

"I just came from the live broadcast room of the anchor next door... It seems that someone has found a hiding room..."

"Yes, it seems that some corridors have rooms, and some corridors do not..."

"No way, no way? Can someone perfectly avoid every corridor with rooms?!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is the first time I've seen the instance of Ping An Sanatorium! Can someone tell me what will happen if I don't find the hiding place before the countdown ends!"

"will die."

50, 49, 48...

The 100-second countdown is still halfway through.

But along the way...

Not a single place to hide.

There are no rooms, no corners, straight corridors and seamless walls all the way, no matter where you are, you can see everything in a glance.

As time passed, Wen Jianyan's heart couldn't help beating wildly, every part of his body throbbed with extreme tension, and his stomach gradually rolled over.

Grass.

Hastily!

This must be too bad luck, right? !

Suddenly, Wen Jianyan stopped abruptly.

The uneven panting sound echoed in the corridor, and the rapid heartbeat hit the eardrum like a drumbeat. Wen Jianyan stood where he was, holding a flashlight in his hand.

Through the narrow lamp post, one can see that in front of the fork not far away, there is a small white rabbit on the ground, with a note under it.

There are three words crookedly written on it:

follow me

A small arrow is drawn below, pointing to a corridor to the right.

Wen Jianyan clenched her teeth subconsciously, her finger joints turned slightly white from the force.

There is no time to hesitate.

He quickly made a decision, turned around as quickly as possible, and ran in the direction pointed by the arrow!

second intersection.

The white rabbit appeared again.

[here]

The arrow below points to the left.

29, 28, 27...

The countdown in the upper right corner of the line of sight continued to decrease, and there was less than half a minute left.

Faster, faster.

Sweat dripped from Wen Jianyan's forehead, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.

The white rabbit sat quietly at the third intersection, waiting motionlessly for Wen Jianyan's arrival.

continue

Arrow points forward.

In the dark corridor, the sound of chaotic footsteps and rapid panting echoed. Wen Jianyan ran in the passage at the fastest speed. He heard the whistling wind and the loud noise of blood hitting the eardrums. He clenched his hands tightly. Gritting, feeling my adrenaline rushing all the way.

10, 9, 8...

The last ten seconds.

The tense muscles released pain signals, and the joints of the body cracked.

Wen Jianyan didn't slow down.

The internal organs twitched under tension, fear, and high pressure, as if being tightly pinched by a hand, bringing overwhelming pain.

In the light of a flickering torch, a door appeared in the darkness.

5, 4, 3...

The closed door is close at hand.

Wen Jianyan's mind was blank, and he had almost lost the room for thinking, only his limbs were acting instinctively.

"Crack."

The doorknob was unscrewed.

Wen Jianyan stumbled and rushed in

1

The door closes behind.

The countdown is over.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: find the hiding place within 100 seconds

Reward points: 200]

The familiar mechanical sound echoed in his ears, Wen Jianyan fell to the ground, his eyes turned black, he gasped for breath, his body was hot under the violent exercise, his back was wet with sweat, and the thin protective uniform It sticks to the back and brings extreme discomfort.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Fuck, I'm scared to death, help!"

"Day Ri Ri, this is too **** close! I really can't breathe!!"

Before Wen Jianyan could relax, the system notification sounded again. It was cold, rational, without any emotional fluctuations, and it was just broadcasting dutifully:

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Found? ? ? the ward

Reward points: 200]

The darkness enveloped the body like a swamp, and the icy chill seeped into the texture.

[Integrity First] There was a brief silence in the live broadcast room.

"...Wait, wait, here, is this the ward of No. 03?"

"Ahhhhhh! Help, help, help!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Wen Jianyan gasped for breath in the dark.

There was silence around my ears.

He raised the hand holding the flashlight, turned his head slowly, and looked behind him

The flickering light of the flashlight could barely dispel the darkness, illuminating a familiar iron bed not far away.

A sign hangs at the foot of the iron bed.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near outside the door, one step, two steps, walking steadily towards this side without haste.

Wen Jianyan was startled, turned around subconsciously, and turned to look at the door

In the next second, a hand was stretched out in the darkness, and it tightly covered Wen Jianyan's mouth!

Wen Jianyan's eyes were wide open, and all the exclamations were blocked in his throat.

"Snapped-"

The flashlight fell from his hand, rolled on the ground, flickered twice, then went dark.

The bottom of the bed was pitch black.

Wen Jianyan felt that his limbs were tightly restrained, and his back was pressed against another cold body.

The other party's arm was around him, and the palm was still covering his mouth, and a soft, low voice sounded close to his ear: "Shhh."

"..." The young man's body was tense, like a bowstring being stretched to the extreme. He lay at the bottom of the narrow bed, motionless, and what he had just seen on the iron sheet flashed through his mind.

Patient Name:

Sex: Male

Illness: Multiple Personality, Violent Tendency

[Dangerous degree: high risk]

"Crunch"

The door was pushed open from the outside.

The corridor was lit up with scarlet lights at some point, and the color of blood smeared in through the slowly opened door.

"Da da da."

The sound of calm and steady footsteps approached.

Wen Jianyan held his breath, cold sweat dripping from his palms.

In the narrow field of vision under the bed, a pair of feet could be seen approaching the bed.

The other party seemed to be humming something in a low voice, the non-tuned nursery rhyme was intermittent, which made the hair stand on end.

Step by step approach.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Day Day, come here, come here!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I can't do it anymore I have to go out to catch my breath, I'm sorry brothers I will come back later!"

The footsteps stopped.

The other party seemed to have seen something, the non-tunable nursery rhyme disappeared, leaving only a frightening silence.

rustle.

There was a sound of cloth rubbing.

"..." Wen Jianyan's eyes moved, and his eyes fell on the flashlight not far from those feet, his pupils involuntarily constricted slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a pale and slender hand slowly pick up the flashlight.

"Ah... are you here? My little rabbit?"

the voice asked cheerfully.

"Da da da."

Footsteps approached the bed.

With every step closer, Wen Jianyan's body tensed an inch.

rustle.

There was a sound of cloth rubbing.

The fabric on the outer edge of the bed was lifted, and the other party leaned over and looked towards the bottom of the bed.

Under the **** light, Wen Jianyan could easily see the other person's faceit was a tall young man with black hair and black eyes, a smile on his lips, and a handsome face, but there was a kind of panic about him. crazy and neurotic.

He was dragging a pitch-black rabbit with one hand, and dripping blood dripped from the rabbit.

At the moment when the cruel gaze came, Wen Jianyan almost forgot how to breathe.

The other party's gaze swept across the bottom of the bed carefully, but it seemed as if it penetrated directly through his body, without falling on any real point.

A look of disappointment appeared on the face of the black-haired boy.

"not here."

He let go, and the cloth on the edge of the bed fell, blocking the light outside.

As the footsteps moved away, Wen Jianyan's body relaxed little by little.

"Click."

The door was closed.

The **** lights disappeared, leaving only darkness.

Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for completing the task: the hiding place cannot be found

Reward points: 500]

it's over.

Wen Jianyan let out a long breath of relief.

As the system's voice disappeared, the hand that had been covering his mouth was retracted, and he was gently let go.

He got out from under the bed, shook his dusty hair, and looked at the other person in the room.

The young man has snow-white hair, a pair of light blue eyes, a gentle expression, and shyly pursed lips. The whole person looks as if carved from ice and snow, clean and transparent.

He is dragging a white rabbit in one hand.

It was the one that showed Wen Jianyan the way before.

Although he has the exact same face as the lunatic just now, his temperament is quite different.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked.

Wen Jianyan gasped in shock and shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry, my brother..." The boy showed an unspeakable expression.

After pausing for a few seconds, he sighed and clenched the rabbit doll in his hand in frustration:

"I, I'm a coward, sorry."

"No, you don't need to apologize." Wen Jianyan took a breath, shook her head, and looked at him gently, "If it wasn't for you, he might have found me by now."

Hearing the other party's thanks, a slight blush appeared on the boy's snow-white face.

He pursed his lips shyly and murmured:

"No, you're welcome."

"What's your name?" Wen Jianyan stretched out her hand, rubbed the other's fluffy soft hair, and asked gently.

"Nair."

The young man raised his head, admiringly, wetly, and looked at the young man in front of him with affectionate eyes.

"When...he shows up, I will hide," Neil rubbed in his direction, and carefully grabbed his sleeve:

"You... want to hide in together?"

"You and your friends can come in, and I will protect you," said the cowardly protagonist.

The young man showed an excited expression: "Really?"

"I, I work hard."

The boy nodded seriously.

Holding the snow-white rabbit doll in his arms, he walked to the closed cabinet and raised his hand to open the cabinet.

A secret passage appeared in the cabinet.

Across the passage, there is a pure white world with the same layout as this side.

"right here-"

The young man turned his head and looked at the young man who had moved to the door unknowingly, with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong?"

"Baby, you are really realistic in acting."

Wen Jianyan smiled frivolously, and glanced down: "Of course, it would be more perfect if the rabbit in your hand didn't have human eyes in its eye sockets."

In the next second, the props that had been prepared were activated immediately!

The boy's feet were firmly glued to the ground.

"Anyway, thanks for letting me hide for a while."

Wen Jianyan winked at him slyly, opened the door in a smooth manner, turned and fled, like a rabbit regaining its freedom:

"Bye-Bye."

The room returned to dead silence.

The white-haired boy lowered his eyes and stared at the rabbit in his arms.

That handsome and harmless face, as pure as white paper, lost its smile, leaving only a cold emptiness.

He stretched out his hand, poked his slender fingertips into the rabbit's eyeballs, and slowly dug out the two **** eyeballs amidst the sound of sticky water.

"It's all your fault."

he complained.

"My little bunny ran away."

"Zizi"'s two eyeballs were mercilessly crushed into meat paste, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oh, why?"

No. 03 raised his eyes, and the almost neurotic madness in his eyes was comparable to his other personality. He gently hugged the rabbit in his arms, buried his face in the fluff, and said sadly:

"We brothers always had the same taste."

The white-haired boy raised the corners of his lips, showing a pure angelic smile, and rubbed his cheek against the rabbit doll:

"But this time he must like mine more."

He licked his blood-stained fingers, his eyes were filled with intoxicated madness, and he giggled:

"He called me baby."
