The people waiting outside only waited for one minute before they saw the lights come on inside the police station.
They looked at each other. Ten seconds later, Feng Bujue walked out from the usual spot. "I found the switch for the backup power. This police station seems to have an independent power source."
That was undoubtedly good news. The five of them immediately filed in through the gap in the wall and entered the police station.
After it was fully lit up, the scene inside was actually very scary. Other than the ceiling that wasn't too damaged, basically all the desks, chairs, benches, computers, files, and water dispensers that could be moved were not in their original positions. There were also many things that looked like door fragments and more than ten broken door frames. The back of the police station's main entrance had the most stuff, so it couldn't be opened from the outside even if they had the key.
On the first floor, there were a total of three police officers' bodies. The first body that Feng Bujue had found earlier was closest to the entrance. As they searched deeper, they found two other uniformed Caucasian men. The second body was fat, and there was a gash on the side of his round abdomen … The third body was of medium height, and there was a gash on his left shoulder that cut through his collarbone. It extended all the way to his left chest, and the heart inside his chest had disappeared …
The game had a high reproduction rate for such disgusting things, but the system would suppress the player's desire to vomit, mainly by making some adjustments to the sense of smell and taste when the nerve connection was conducted, so that the player's stomach would not have a strong sense of discomfort.
Wang Tanzhi, on the other hand, didn't care. He had dissected quite a few bodies in real life. Of course, this had nothing to do with courage — he was just used to it. As long as the body didn't move, it didn't matter if it was cut open or not. However, he was afraid of ghosts, monsters, and even darkness. His reaction when watching horror movies or playing horror games was similar to a girl's.
Actually, even though girls had a strong reaction to horror movies, it didn't mean that they were cowards. This was a complete scam. Perhaps there were times when they would be afraid in real life, but watching horror movies was a different story … For example, if a young man and a young woman sat together to watch a horror movie, the man would often look nonchalant while the woman would look scared. One would pretend to be relaxed and laugh at the other, and the other would occasionally scream. This kind of thing happened every day. Most of the time, it was men pretending to be brave and women pretending to be cute. In fact, the two of them had a similar fear of horror movies, so there shouldn't be such a difference.
But I have to say that a man who doesn't pretend to be brave isn't cute, and a girl who doesn't pretend to be cute is too brave. This is how the world needs to operate, so please continue to work hard.
Back to the main topic, the three corpses. The corpse that Feng Bujue had searched had nothing left to unearth. The person who had his stomach cut open had a baton and a pair of handcuffs on him. When he picked them up, he found that the handcuffs were broken, and he couldn't find the key to the handcuffs on him.
Feng Bujue handed the baton to Mr. Lonely. Although it was a normal equipment, there was no equipment restriction, and it was a specialized weapon, so Mr. Lonely, who had been empty-handed until now, was very satisfied.
The third body was placed inside a very small cubicle. It appeared to be a place for cleaning tools. There was nothing on him. Just as Feng Bujue planned to strip him down to see if there were any tattoos or moles on the soles of his feet, Wang Tanzhi finally found a piece of paper in the man's pocket.
Naturally, he couldn't let go of such an obvious clue.
Item Name: A Paper Note with Numbers
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Unknown
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
[Remarks: 69185]
Other than these five numbers, there was nothing else on the note. Feng Bujue read the item description for a few seconds before tossing the note away.
"Hey! Brother Bujue, is it really okay to toss it away like that? "Wang Tanzhi asked.
Feng Bujue took out the bunch of keys that he had picked up earlier and studied them one by one. "69185 … 69185 … found it." He picked out the key with the five numbers engraved on the end and took it off the big bunch of keys. Then, he threw the whole bunch of keys away, leaving only this one, and said, "Hmm … That's right, this is it."
When the key was picked out and held in his hand, a new item description appeared on the menu.
Item Name: Key of Fire
Item Type: Plot Item
[Quality: Excellent]
Function: Can be used to seal the fire.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: A key with magical energy, one of the five keys to the Demonic Door.
"This should be a plot item required for a main mission." Feng Bujue said. "Even if we don't enter this police station now, after we enter the Demonic Door, there will be a follow-up mission for us."
"Wonderful, won't that save us a lot of time?" Wang Tanzhi said.
"Time …" Feng Bujue sighed. "Humph … Let's not talk about it. The item description says that there are five keys in total. Based on this Zelda-esque plot … I believe that after we reach the Demonic Door, the follow-up mission will be to find all five keys and then open or close the door. "
Long Aomin walked over from the other end of the corridor and said, "The staircase that leads to the second floor has been completely destroyed. Looks like we won't be able to go up."
"That's expected …" Feng Bujue passed him the key and had him look at its description. "The thing we're looking for is on the first floor."
Mr. and Mrs. Saddest seemed to have found something. They found a first aid kit among the trash in one of the rooms and took it with them.
When they opened it, they saw a roll of bandage and two bottles of transparent medicine. Naturally, these were consumables. The bandage's effect was to stop bleeding, and the two bottles of medicine were standard recovery potions provided by Thriller Paradise.
Item Name: Life Point Recovery Potion (Large) * 2
Item Type: Consumable
Quality: Normal
Function: Restores one hundred percent of the player's Life Points.
Can be taken out of the scenario: Yes
Remark: The maximum number of stacks is five. Continuous use of this item will weaken the effect. — — —
Feng Bujue understood from the remark that the maximum number of stacks was to limit the number of items that the player could carry with them. Since the inventory only had ten slots, even if there was a bigger inventory in the future, there would still be space for equipment and other items. The setting of decreasing effect after continuous use was to prevent the player from relying too much on this potion in battle.
"Very good … If one bottle is one hundred percent …" Feng Bujue took out his Disposable Syringe and passed it to Wang Tanzhi. "Doctor, I'll leave this to you."
Wang Tanzhi was a clever person, and he immediately understood what Feng Bujue meant. He picked up one of the potions and drew out about four-fifths of the potion. Then he signaled for Long Aomin to roll up his sleeves.
When Doctor Wang gave him the injection, Long Aomin returned the key to Feng Bujue and asked, "What does the number 69185 mean?"
Feng Bujue replied, "A low-level puzzle. It's just an alphabetical sequence. 6F, 9I, 18R, 5E, Fire."
Even though the explanation sounded simple, Long Aomin had a feeling that he would not be able to figure it out.
Wang Tanzhi completed the injection cleanly. The amount that he drew out was quite accurate. This shot restored eighty-three percent of Long Aomin's Life Points, and he was now back at ninety-five percent.
There was seventeen percent left in the bottle. Wang Tanzhi first asked Mr. Wang Tanzhi and Ms. Saddest if they had lost any Life Points. Both of them said that they had full Life Points, so Wang Tanzhi did not hesitate to grab the bottle and gulp it down. His Life Points returned to one hundred percent.
Perhaps some might ask, why didn't the two of them just drink one mouthful at a time? The reason was … once the player made the action of drinking, the item would disappear instantly.
As the most common 'health potion', the potion would be one of the main items sold in the game market. This was different from the realistic items in the scenario; it was a system item. As long as the player made the action of 'drinking', even if they raised the bottle to their lips, they would drink it all. There would not even be the feeling of liquid flowing down their throat, and even the bottle would disappear instantly. The potion was meant to be used by the player, not to quench thirst or create a sense of satiety, so that was how it was set up.
The single-use syringe was a loophole, and only someone like Feng Bujue, who was familiar with the game's description, would be able to figure it out. At that moment, Wang Tanzhi and Long Aomin still had not fully understood what was going on. They were just following Feng Bujue's logic without thinking. It was not until the scenario was over that they read the description of the potion that they understood the reason.
From the system's perspective, this was not only not a bug, it should have rewarded Wang Tanzhi with some Skill Points. Since the 'single-use syringe' would disappear after one use, the player had used one item to split it into two. There were gains and losses, but it was not something that was created out of thin air.
"One baton, one handgun, one plot item for the main quest, two health potions, and an item to remove the 'bleeding' status …" Feng Bujue did the math. "Normally, after completing the main quest and coming back to kill the zombie, there is a chance that the player will be injured by 'bleeding'. Life Points recovery potions are necessary, and plot items aside … two weapons for killing a monster like that, that's a bit too little …"
Feng Bujue lowered his head. His left hand crossed over his chest, and his right elbow rested on his left hand. He tapped his forehead with two fingers. "And here I was hoping to find a room like an armory or a bunch of confiscated marijuana …"
"Hey! What are you holding back for? Virtual drug experiences are forbidden! "Wang Tanzhi said.
"By the way!" Feng Bujue's eyes lit up. "That fatty's intestines have already spilled out, but how come his stomach is still so big? There's something inside! "
