"Simon?" Mouse didn't understand what the doctor's current tragic situation had to do with Simon. After the two sides separated, they went their separate ways. Simon stayed with them in Pripyat to continue the investigation, while the doctor left with the maintenance worker. Although he sympathized with the doctor's current situation, he couldn't blame Simon for this.
"It seems like your health has been deteriorating recently." The doctor didn't rush to explain. Instead, he looked around first. His eyes swept across the swollen arm of the young man, Rat's injured leg, and Kratos' pale face.
"What do you mean?" Kratos's expression changed.
"Do you remember what I said before? Based on Coconut's exposure to radiation at the nuclear power plant, her condition shouldn't have deteriorated so quickly. Even if her palm had come into contact with the graphite on the ground, in less than a day, she fell into a coma with a high fever and almost lost her life. This speed doesn't conform to medical common sense."
"You suspect that someone did something to her?"
"Simon was the first person to notice that something was wrong with her that night," the doctor said coldly.
The young man shook his head. "But this doesn't prove that Simon did something to her. Besides, Simon isn't an omnipotent god. How could he worsen Coconut's condition?"
"It's graphite."
"What?"
"I'm answering your question. How did he worsen Coconut's condition? He secretly placed the graphite core next to Coconut."
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Kratos asked.
"Of course, because he did the same to me and the maintenance worker. He warned us not to leave Pripyat, but we didn't listen to him. So, before we left, he placed a piece of graphite in our backpacks," the doctor said angrily. "Two days later, we found out that the maintenance worker had been carrying that backpack. When we arrived at the hospital, he was sent to the emergency room. You saw my condition.
"I didn't stay in the hospital because I knew that since Simon had done something to Coconut and us, he wouldn't let you go. So, I rushed back to Pripyat overnight to warn you, but I didn't know where you were. All I could do was stay by Shelbina's side and wait for you to come."
After the doctor said what he wanted to say, the stairwell fell into silence.
It was mainly because the news he had just provided was too shocking. Everyone had always thought that the deterioration of their physical condition was due to the nuclear radiation they had previously suffered, but they did not expect that there was actually a human factor involved.
Moreover, the players who chose to play solo were no fools. After careful consideration, they realized that the doctor's words were highly credible. It wasn't just because of the two things he said, but most importantly, Simon was the only player who was still in a relatively good condition.
If there was really someone playing tricks in the dark, Simon was undoubtedly the most suspicious.
Even so, Submission Slayer found it hard to accept. "Simon … … why did he attack us? Even if you don't believe in his character, isn't this instance dungeon a single-player mode? Players are teammates, not enemies. "
"You'll have to ask him," the doctor said.
After saying that, Kratos opened his mouth.
"What do you want to say?" The subdued youth asked.
"All of you have seen the post that Fulou posted on behalf of Simon. Simon took out 200,000 game points to put up a bounty, but he obviously doesn't have that many game points with him. He can only use a Grade-B game item as collateral," Kratos said. "He is in desperate need of game points now."
"You mean he plans to kill us and rob us of our game items to make up for the lack of game points?"
"You have to admit that this is the fastest way to earn game points."
"What about the main quest? We still don't have any clues. If he kills us, won't his chances of completing the main quest become even lower?" Mouse asked weakly.
"You're right, but this is only because 'we' don't have a clue. Maybe he already knows how to complete the main quest. That's why he started to attack us. Once he kills all of us, he will complete the main quest alone and return with a full load of rewards," the doctor said.
As soon as the doctor's voice trailed off, another voice came from upstairs.
"That's a good suggestion."
The players' expressions sank when they heard the voice. They could tell that it was Simon's voice.
Zhang Heng slowly walked down the stairs from the third floor, glanced at the players in front of him, and said to the doctor, "You're good at creating a diversion."
"Not at all. I can't compare to you at all." The doctor sneered, "Who would know that the great Simon is also a person who says one thing on the surface and another thing behind his back?"
Zhang Heng shook his head when he heard the doctor's words. "Let me correct you on two points."
"What?"
"First, I don't need to say one thing on the surface and another behind my back. If I really want to kill you and rob you, all the players in this dungeon can't stop me even if they work together."
Zhang Heng didn't deliberately use a threatening tone when he said this. In fact, he sounded very normal. However, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression. Even the doctor opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Simon had always been very easygoing, and he kept a low profile in this dungeon. Basically, he would ask for everyone's opinion in advance before he took action. He didn't use his identity as the captain to force anyone to do anything. After a long time, everyone even forgot that he was the first player who defeated the masters of the three major guilds to take first place on the scoreboard.
"Second," Zhang Heng glanced at the doctor and continued, "I sympathize with your experience, but unfortunately, you've found the wrong person."
The look on the doctor's face showed that he did not believe Zhang Heng's words. "Let's not talk about me and the repairman for now. How are you going to explain that everyone's condition is deteriorating faster than normal?"
"Although you've found the wrong person, you're right about one thing. Someone is secretly increasing the radiation we receive. However, that person is not me. As for why I'm better than you, it's because I'm more vigilant." Zhang Heng waved the thing in his hand.
"What is this?"
"A portable radiation meter. I got it from a militia's sprinkler. The range is very small, and the upper limit is only 3.6 Roentgens. However, it's enough to help me get past dangerous places and items," Zhang Heng explained. "After Coconut was sent to the hospital, I went back to her house with the detector. I found that the radiation value in her room was indeed abnormal. My detector went off the charts in many places. This means that someone put a strong radiation source in her house." "That's right," Zhang Heng explained, "After Coconut was sent to the hospital, I went back to her house with the detector.
The teenager was stunned when he heard this. "That time, you asked me to rob clothes with you. Was it because you wanted to get the meter?"
