Lin Sanjiu vaguely knew that she had been unconscious for a long time.
She floated in a tumbling darkness. Her consciousness was intermittent, and she couldn't even remember what had happened to her. It was only when she struggled to open her eyelids and her vision gradually became clear that she regained her senses.
There were a few long cracks on the grayish-white ceiling, as if a giant spider was about to weave a web.
"What happened?"
Lin Sanjiu frowned. She felt as if all her memories had been shattered into pieces. She had to put them back together piece by piece. "Ah, right. It's the Ukiyo-e that I got from Bonnie Bunny. The moment I took it out, I was swallowed by the lava … So, I should be in the hospital now?
Is the Ukiyo-e still with me? "
With this thought in mind, she raised her neck with difficulty. She wanted to look at her left hand and see what the hospital looked like. What she saw was a small room that was painted white. The walls of the room were narrow and cramped. Aside from the medicine cabinet, the single bed under her, and the IV stand next to her, there was nothing else. The room was so small, but it was equipped with a heavy and thick metal door. Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was about to lose her balance.
"So, this is what the hospital looks like …" Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized something was wrong. She raised her neck and looked around. Then, she couldn't help opening her mouth.
Her left arm was gone.
Starting from her fingertips holding the Ukiyo-e, her palm, wrist, and all the way to her upper arm, they were all gone. Perhaps because she was holding the edge of the Ukiyo-e when she swallowed the lava, it followed her to the hospital and was now lying crumpled where her left hand should have been. The crimson evil ghost head in the crack of the Gate of Hell, which was especially large compared to the other ghosts, seemed to have sensed her gaze. It rolled its eyes at her, and then deeply wrinkled the skin on its bald eyebrows.
"Why? Even a spirit in a Special Item is disappointed in me?"
Lin Sanjiu rolled her eyes at the evil spirit. "From today onwards, its owner has been demoted. It can do whatever it wants."
The battle with Bonnie Bunny was more rewarding than she had imagined. Not only did she get a special item, but she also discovered the lava location in this round of the game. Thinking back to Bonnie Bunny's random question ("How many special items have you used since the start of the game?"), The answer was obvious. Lava was hiding in the place where the posthumans stored their special items.
To be more specific, the lava should be stuck between the third Special Item and the storage space. When the posthumans took out the third Special Item, they would be caught off guard and swallowed by the flowing lava.
Raven Jiang was right: who would have thought that lava would come from such a place?
Lin Sanjiu had already used her [Tornado Whip] and her [Artist]. Furthermore, she had kept and released the Ukiyo-e, so naturally, it landed in the hospital. However, she found out a little too late. Now that she was in the hospital, she could not warn Hei Zeji.
He wondered what had happened to Crow River after she left.
She let out a low moan from her throat and slowly used her right hand, which was still on the IV drip, to support her body. She flipped to the right and sat up. "Fortunately, it was my left hand that was swallowed by the lava." As she thought to herself, she looked down at the hospital gown she was wearing and turned the Ukiyo-e back into a card.
"Bohemia and Puppeteer should be outside this iron gate, right? Was he also like her, staying in a narrow ward?
When her left hand touched the lava, the punishment disappeared completely. "As for Puppeteer …" Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment, and a headless body wearing a black leather coat appeared in her mind. She shuddered involuntarily.
[Ghost Painting]
This was a rare Ukiyo-e painting with bold colors. Legend had it that during the Night of One Hundred Ghosts, the gate to hell would open in Acheron, revealing a crimson Ghost King. Anyone who accidentally bumped into the Ghost King would be bewitched and would follow the team of one hundred ghosts into the gate to hell and become one of them. In other words, every living ghost with different expressions on the screen was once a posthuman.
How to use it: Very simple. You just need to pick up the painting and let it touch the face of the viewer. In this way, the viewer will be moved by such a strong and close artistic impact. They will feel the call of art and become one with the Ukiyo-e painting.
Note: Since the size of the painting is limited, it cannot accommodate an endless number of Night Ghosts. When the number reaches the limit, the posthuman that was sucked into the painting will be released one by one.
Bonnie Rabbit was indeed a close combat posthuman. He had Special Items that could only be used in close combat.
Lin Sanjiu decided to go out and see if she could.
She dragged the IV drip rack behind her and slowly walked toward the iron gate. She felt as if all her bones had been pulled out of her body. She was so weak that she could barely muster any strength. Fortunately, the lock on the iron door was to prevent people from coming in, not to prevent her from going out. She opened the locks one by one, and with a low squeak, she opened the heavy iron door a little.
She had subconsciously imagined the appearance of the hospital many times, but they all had one thing in common: it looked like an ordinary building, with something like a red cross hanging on the wall. She did not expect that when she saw the inside of the hospital for the first time, she actually felt dizzy.
There was nothing outside her door. To be more precise, the ground outside the door was as straight as a cliff. She did not expect that there was no floor outside the door. She hastily retracted her foot that was about to step out of the door. She accidentally pulled the IV needle in her hand and felt a sharp pain on her skin.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and bit the needle on the back of her hand. She pulled it out and looked outside again.
It was a barrel-shaped building. It was sealed so tightly that no wind could enter. There was not a single ray of sunlight. There were rows of white spotlights on the curved walls around the building. Together with the iron gates, they formed several arcs along the wall.
There were the same number of iron gates on each of the arcs. Behind each iron gate was a ward that looked exactly like the one she was in. Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked at the white spotlights. When the lights at the far end were so dim that she could not see them clearly, a dark circular floor was revealed.
It was hard to tell how deep this "patio" building was.
She looked to her left and right and found that there was another iron gate five meters away from her. She knelt down and grabbed the door frame with her only hand. Then, she stretched her upper body out as far as she could. She wanted to take a closer look at the neighboring wards.
When the iron gate opened, it slammed into the wall. It was accompanied by a strong gust of wind.
Lin Sanjiu's body was weak, and her reaction was slower than usual. By the time she realized that the gust of wind was coming for her, she quickly retreated into the room. By then, the gust of wind was already right in front of her. In that split second, a small shadow appeared in the wind. It suddenly opened its black hole-like mouth towards her right hand, revealing a few rows of white teeth.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't dodge it in time. When she fell back to the floor, the back of her right hand was scratched by the creature's sharp teeth. The moment the blood on the back of her hand spurted into the air, the creature turned its head and bounced off the door frame. Then, it turned around and rushed back to the direction it came from.
"It looks like a piranha," Mrs. Manas said in shock.
Lin Sanjiu gasped. She wanted to cover the bleeding back of her right hand with her left hand, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't have a left hand. She quickly sat up and followed the direction of the piranha. She saw half a human face peeking out from behind the opened iron gate.
"Why is there nothing?" The man grabbed the piranha and cursed under his breath. He shook the piranha a few times as if he was afraid that the piranha would hide something from him. He hid behind the iron gate. Other than a forehead covered with short brown hair, it was hard to see what he looked like. The man looked up and met Lin Sanjiu's gaze. He immediately retreated back into the ward, and the metal door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Lin Sanjiu closed the door and sat behind it. She stared at the back of her hand in a daze.
The piranha's body was small, but its mouth was huge. Coupled with its dense and sharp teeth, it wouldn't be surprising if it bit off her entire wrist — if its target was her right hand. The reason why it only scratched the back of Lin Sanjiu's hand was because it wanted to bite something on her hand.
With this thought in mind, she couldn't help looking at the IV drip that she had pulled out.
Could it be that the piranha wanted to bite the IV drip?
Her gaze moved up the IV drip and landed on the small IV drip. There was still half a transparent liquid in it. She took the IV drip off and looked at its label: [High Efficiency Nutrient Solution]. Apart from these words, there was nothing else on the IV drip.
"It should be something good," Mrs. Manas mumbled uncertainly, "Everyone wants to snatch it …"
"Compared to just now, I feel even weaker …" Lin Sanjiu didn't know if it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. She looked at the IV drip and sighed, "Could it be that I still can't take off the IV drip?"
She picked up the needle from the floor and held it in her mouth. Then, she took out the bottle of alcohol that her grand prize had given her and gave it a shower to disinfect it. After that, she inserted the IV drip back into the vein on the back of her hand. As the cold liquid entered her vein again, she let out a long breath and closed her eyes. She felt that her body was getting stronger.
