"Lava!! The Player's Love Letter was printed and produced in the Information Department.
Previously, she only looked at the folder containing the "medical records". This time, she spread out all the documents she had collected on the floor and flipped through them page by page. Finally, she picked out all the inner pages of the Love Letter. This batch of pages had not been bound and were scattered all over the place. There were a few stacks of the same content. Lin Sanjiu guessed that what she had was probably not the complete version. At the very least, Lin Sanjiu now had a general idea of what was going on.
Just as she had expected, the fragmented information she had obtained was just the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire world of Lava. As the core of Lava, the hospital was filled with all kinds of complicated rules and regulations. Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and read for a long time. The more she read, the more restless she became. When she finally finished reading the last page, she let out a long sigh.
There was not a single word in the Player's Love Letter that could help Hei Zeji.
That's to be expected …
After her vague hope of getting lucky was shattered, it turned into a new layer of pressure that pressed down on her heart. Lin Sanjiu kept the Love Letter and covered Hei Zeji's body with all the repetitive and useless pages. She buried him like a snowman. The space in the Tool Room was so small that she had to keep her legs together to avoid touching him. Now that there was a barrier between them, it was much safer for her.
"Let's see if there are any other cards that I can't use …" Even if it was some trash like a dirty towel, he could use it to cover Hei Zeji's body tightly so that she wouldn't accidentally touch it.
She mumbled to herself as she opened the card library. As she read, she suddenly froze. She flipped through a few cards and opened her mouth in disbelief.
"Oh right, I have such a Special Item with me!"
Hope was reignited in an instant, and it rushed through her veins like a tidal wave. She sat on the spot, unable to believe that her problem could be solved so easily. Still in doubt, she carefully read the instructions on the card again. Soon, her hope gradually faded, and doubts rose like a hot air balloon.
She knew that her luck couldn't be that good.
Lin Sanjiu had never used it before, so she did not think too much about it. Now that she looked at it, she realized that if the item description was correct, then this item should actually be trash. The item description would not be wrong.
The condition of its use was simply a paradox. This had already determined that it could not be used … However, it had indeed been used by others before, and not just once … How did the previous owner do it?
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and thought for a while. Suddenly, she stood up.
That's right, the previous owner's method should be very simple. If her analysis was correct, Hei Zeji could be saved. However, in order to save him, she had to find Bohemia first.
"Bohemia must be outside …" Lin Sanjiu hesitated for two seconds and gave up on the idea of bringing Hei Zeji out of the hospital. It really wasn't easy for him to move. Even if he found the cart from before, it would be too risky to escape while pushing a flatbed cart that was used to transport machinery. She had no choice but to leave Hei Zeji here and bring Bohemia to the basement of the hospital. It was midnight now, so no one would come to open the cleaner's tool room. This meant that she and Bohemia had to return here before morning to kill Hei Zeji.
If he woke up halfway and returned to the laboratory, it would be terrible.
"I have to be careful …" Lin Sanjiu squatted on the ground and struggled for a while. In the end, she still took out the [Penguin Books for Children].
She flipped to the center of the book, and an origami cup appeared between two pages. The cup was steaming. On the page of the book, a mother-like woman was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was about to take the cup from a little boy with a smile on her face. There were also two lines of stiff narration that were commonly seen in children's books: "You've worked hard. Have a sip of tea" and "You are such a good child".
The little boy stared at his mother with his dark eyes. The frozen smile on his face showed that he was very happy. Not far behind him, the light from the living room shone into the dimly lit kitchen. Lin Sanjiu could barely make out a pair of man's feet from the doorway. Lin Sanjiu had no idea how long the pair of feet had been lying on the ground.
Lin Sanjiu checked the first few pages of the story. When she was sure that the cup was not filled with lethal poison, she pulled it off. But then again, even if it was a lethal poison, she would still pull it off.
Hei Zeji's chin had turned into a deep black hole. It was as if a worm had eaten away half of it. Lin Sanjiu held the cup and looked down at him from above. Then, she shifted her gaze away. She was glad that he was no longer in his original appearance. If there was a black hole on his original appearance, she would have found it even more unbearable.
After Lin Sanjiu poured the hot tea into the black hole, she observed for a while. When she made sure that no tea flowed into his body, she threw the paper cup away and opened the door quietly. She walked into the corridor again.
It was already past midnight. She only had six to eight hours before the cleaner came to work in the morning.
Fortunately, the security was lax and the curfew had been lifted. She had been hiding in the tool room for almost 30 minutes, but she did not hear any patrolling footsteps. Even if Wei Xing had reported to the hospital, the hospital would probably think that she was in the process of becoming a guard. They were waiting for her to leave the laboratory and join the security department. As long as they did not check the laboratory in the middle of the night … they would only find a red-faced man with empty internal organs.
Every step Lin Sanjiu took was careful and slow. She even tried her best not to rustle the fabric of her clothes. Of course, she couldn't go back the way she came. Fortunately, there was a green emergency exit sign hanging at the corner of the ceiling. She followed the direction indicated by the emergency exit sign and walked silently for a while. Then, she stopped.
Even if she didn't know the layout of the ground floor of the hospital, she knew that this corridor would not lead to the emergency exit. There was a bench in the corridor that she was very familiar with. Opposite the bench, there was a door with the sign "Pantry".
"I'm not far from the toll booth. Why is the emergency exit here?"
Lin Sanjiu's doubtful gaze followed the little green man on the ceiling. Soon, she walked toward the staircase behind the toll booth. The sign with the little green man made a circle on the ceiling and turned around to go back the way she came.
"Damn it, this thing is just a decoration." Lin Sanjiu thought about it again. There was probably no emergency exit at the ground floor of the hospital. There wasn't even a normal exit. After all, these NPCs didn't really need to go home from work, take the train for half an hour, and have dinner with their wives.
"Did Wei Xing come and go from the toll booth?"
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She hid beside the staircase and stared at the door that led to the toll booth for a while. The light shone through the gap between the door and the door. From time to time, she could see the shadows of footsteps.
There were NPCs working the night shift. If she put her ear on the door, she might be able to hear the conversation between the players who were exchanging their Item Points.
It would be terrible if the toll booth was the only way for her to leave. Her time was limited, so she couldn't wait for the NPC to take his lunch break. Besides, even if she could wait until lunch break, the toll booth would be closed by then.
"Do I have to get out the same way I came in?"
She recalled the small layout of the toll booth and calculated the time needed to rush through the door and leap over the counter. The whole process would take less than five seconds. Even if she only had one right hand, she could do it. However, the problem was that the counter would be surrounded by other players. She didn't even need the NPC to call for the other players to stop her …
"There's no other way."
Lin Sanjiu stood up and walked silently in the opposite direction of the toll booth. She could spend another hour or two looking for the exit, but she felt that she wouldn't get any results. She had no other choice but to barge into the toll booth.
However, she could at least take some precautionary measures.
To be honest, ever since the apocalypse came, there was one thing that had helped her countless times. It was as reliable as the [Planar World], and that was corpses. Even though she didn't have any corpses on hand, there was something not far from her: Takemiya, who had lost his ability to move.
When she opened the door of the counter in the pantry, Takemiya was still in the same position, waiting for her. Hei Zeji must have been very good at packing luggage in the past. In the past, Hei Zeji must have been very good at packing luggage. He was able to fit a fat old man into such a small space without breaking a few bones. She dragged Wuming out and carried him with one hand so that he would not make any noise when he dragged his feet on the ground. Then, she walked up the stairs step by step and stood in front of the cashier.
She could vaguely hear a male NPC talking to a player at the toll booth. She could hear bits and pieces of their conversation through the door. She placed Takemiya beside her feet and activated [No Coincidence, No Story]. She held her breath and waited. When the male NPC's voice stopped for a while and didn't speak again, Lin Sanjiu turned the doorknob silently and slowly. She peered through the gap of the door.
The male NPC was blocked by the door, but … there was no one in front of the counter.
Lin Sanjiu grabbed Takemiya's collar again and slammed the door open with her shoulder. Then, she dashed in. The male NPC screamed in shock. The moment she raised her eyes to look at the toll booth, her heart almost leaped out of her throat. Four guards were standing in a row opposite the toll booth. When they saw her face, they all rushed towards her at the same time.
The male NPC held the counter behind him with both hands in a dramatic manner. He kept shouting, "Catch her!"
Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu swung her arm and threw Takemiya horizontally. Takemiya knocked down two guards who were standing closest to him. Seizing this precious moment, she turned around and dashed toward the counter. She could feel the faint sound of the wind behind her reaching for her.
She didn't have time to grab the male NPC to block her. If she delayed for even a second, she would fall into the hands of the guards. She had no choice but to jump over the counter as fast as she could. She couldn't even feel her racing heart. All she could see was the counter in front of her. When she grabbed the counter with her right hand and leaped over it like a deer, a person suddenly stood up from the other side of the counter. Lin Sanjiu didn't realize that the person had been squatting on the ground the whole time.
"Lin Sanjiu?"
