Lin Sanjiu had once wondered if she could escape from the lava world during her rest time. After all, she was neither an illegal person nor a player during that period of time. She didn't expect that her plan would be foiled so quickly.
The hospital didn't care if you listened to the instruction to rest or not because it was obvious that the lava world could force a person to enter a "state of complete rest".
It was a very strange feeling. Her mind was so tense that it felt like it would snap at any moment, but her heartbeat gradually slowed down and calmed down. Her muscles also relaxed. It was as if her body had a mind of its own, but it refused to follow her mind.
Any thought she had was very disgraceful. Even something that required a little bit of effort, like blinking or thinking about what to do next, became so vague and distant that it gradually disappeared from her consciousness. Lin Sanjiu felt that her eyes were slowly closing. Her vision narrowed, and her vision became blurry.
Until a heavy "dong" sound rang out, startling her and forcing her to open a sliver of her eyelids.
Hei Zeji was sprawled on the floor. Even though he had fallen from the ceiling, he didn't move an inch. It was as if being smashed by the floor was a very comfortable thing. The nine legs of the four guards retreated like frightened flies. One of them even shouted, "Who is it?"
"It should be either a player or a patient." One of the guards walked closer to Hei Zeji. His old black leather shoe stopped in front of the chair. It was only a few inches away from Lin Sanjiu's face. She could even see the white crease on the front of the shoe. A withered, dark brown hand reached down and turned the guard's head. After a few glances, the guard shouted, "You really are one of the wanted criminals!"
Lin Sanjiu forced her eyes open a slit. Just when she saw the peaceful and content face of a sleeping child, her upper eyelid collapsed and stuck to her lower eyelid.
She wasn't asleep. At least, she didn't feel like she was asleep. All the distracting thoughts had been dispelled. Her body had never felt so relaxed and comfortable before, even though she was sprawled under the chair and there was a cold and hard floor beneath her.
What happened next, she had no idea at all.
She could still feel the shouts of the guards, the footsteps, the tremors of the floorboards … She could still feel them, but these details were not left in her mind. It was like knowing that there was a Mars in the universe, but the sandstorm on the surface of Mars had nothing to do with her.
When she opened her eyes again, the sound of the broadcast gradually became clearer, and it once again became meaningful.
"… Break time is over. Lava!! The duration will be from 7: 30 pm to 9: 30 pm. Players and patients, please adjust accordingly. "
She was still under the chair, unseen. She looked outside and saw that the floor of the corridor was empty. Naturally, Hei Zeji was nowhere to be found. With four of the nine legs gone, the remaining two guards stopped patrolling and stood in the corridor as if they were guarding against something. They shouted at the second group of guards, "Yes, yes, you guys spread out and keep an eye on him … The other wanted criminal might be nearby!"
'Damn, I lost a person just after I left the pantry.'
Lin Sanjiu felt a headache coming on. While she was sighing inwardly, Mrs. Manas was helping her find the silver lining on the dark clouds. She advised, "It's not all bad news. After an hour of rest, the aftereffects of the coffee are almost gone. That forced rest is more effective than a nap. "
"Forget it," Lin Sanjiu consoled herself. Fortunately, the person who was captured was Hei Zeji, so she wouldn't have to rescue him. If it was Raven Jiang or Bohemia who was captured, she might have to break into the security department. She was not in a good condition to fight, but it was enough for her to figure out the situation in the hospital. Once she had a grasp of the situation, she could look for Hei Zeji.
But now … how was she going to get out from under the chair?
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground and waited for an entire round of the game. In between, she took a full rest, but she still couldn't find a way out. The number of guards in the corridor increased again, but this time, there were more than nine legs outside. After Hei Zeji was captured in the corridor, the hospital seemed to be more motivated. They had sent more guards to different areas. Now, the first group had six people and thirteen legs. The guards were divided into two rows and continued to patrol the area. They were doing a more thorough check.
It was already 10: 30 pm, but the guards didn't seem to have any intention of changing shifts.
The alarm had stopped not long ago, but the lockdown did not end just because they had captured a wanted criminal. Lin Sanjiu twisted her neck silently and observed for a while. She realized that it was very difficult for her to get out from under the chair. No, it was too polite to say that she couldn't get out from under the chair at all.
If she crawled out from under the chair when the first and second group of guards had their backs facing each other, she would encounter the same situation again. The place where she crawled out from was almost the same spot where the first group of guards had turned around. In order not to be discovered, she had no choice but to crawl back under the chair again. It was pointless.
If she waited for the first group of guards to turn around and walk past the chair toward the pantry, the second group of guards would be facing the corridor she was in. Hei Zeji had once told her that in the eyes of the NPCs, the basement of the hospital was brightly lit. It didn't affect their vision at all. Even if she crawled on the ground, the second group of guards in the corridor behind her would still be able to see a huge black shadow crawling on the ground like a lizard.
When she thought of this, she could almost hear their roars.
"I don't think we can use the tent," Mrs. Manas was also worried. "They know that you are a wanted criminal with your face. It would be troublesome if the temporary residence effect doesn't affect you … It's better not to take this unnecessary risk."
"How am I going to get out?"
"It would be great if I have an item like the [Chameleon]." Lin Sanjiu looked at the beige floor and sighed anxiously. However, even if she still had the [Battle Item], she remembered that she had already used it to imitate a chameleon … When she thought of this, she raised her head and looked at the T-junction in front of her.
Thirteen feet moved back and forth, rising and falling as they passed by the chair. Lin Sanjiu didn't know who designed the patrol route, but basically, every place was under surveillance. For example, the T-junction behind the first group of guards seemed to be unguarded, but the second group of guards was about to turn around. Once they turned around, they would be able to see everything going on in the T-junction.
Furthermore, there were definitely more guards patrolling the two sides of the T-junction.
Even if she managed to escape from the chair, what if she bumped into the guards in the T-junction?
"We can't just stay here until they retire," Mrs. Manas grumbled anxiously. When she noticed that Lin Sanjiu didn't answer her and took out a card from her card bank, she suddenly became cautious, "Are you playing a joke with your life again?"
