After accepting the three side quests, Feng Bujue stayed in Room 216 for another five minutes.
In those five minutes, he inspected the rest of the beds and confirmed that the two beds were empty as well. He tried to get information from the duke and Victor, but the two ignored him completely and continued to argue. It looked like he would not be able to get any hint from these two NPCs.
Then, Brother Jue searched the four bedside tables in the room. Naturally, he could not touch the duke and Victor's bedside tables. In the end, he found a strange coin inside Mr. Harper's table.
After doing all that, he opened the door and walked down the corridor.
"This scenario's setting is quite sharp …" Feng Bujue walked down the corridor slowly. He played with the coin with one hand and mumbled, "From the description of this coin … this should not be the human world …"
— — — Name: Coin
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Can be used to purchase the coin from the vending machine in the restaurant lobby.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: The most common currency in the Monster Kingdom. Due to the constant changes in the exchange rate, the bartering habit cannot be eradicated, so there is no specific denomination printed on the coin. Due to the king being killed by adventurers, adventurers, or his own relatives, and sometimes accidentally self-destructing, there is no picture of the king on the coin. — — —
"Since this is the Monster Kingdom …" Feng Bujue could not help but think, "Then, am I a monster as well?" He scratched his head. "But from the reflection, Lester should be a person … Is there something special about him under the clothes?"
That was difficult. Even though in the scenario, when the other characters looked at Feng Bujue, they appeared to be Lester. When Brother Jue looked at him, he was still in a purple suit. Furthermore, even if he found a mirror, he would not be able to remove his shirt. Therefore, only the heavens knew what kind of monster Lester was.
"Wait a minute …" A thought crossed Feng Bujue's mind. "Then what about the man in the bandage and the Chad siblings?" He thought to himself. "The man in the bandage asked me, 'Are you not afraid of me?', and I'm not afraid of you. And he even said something like 'I'm a ghost, do you know what that means?' " He stroked his chin and muttered, "Logically speaking, what he meant was … I, a 'living person,' should be afraid of 'ghosts.'" He frowned slightly. "Also, regarding Chad's sister, the system defines her as a vengeful spirit. She's also a ghost …"
He thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he had come to another corner.
"Eh? Could it be … "Feng Bujue changed his train of thought slightly, and he was suddenly enlightened." Oh … so … the general meaning is … the 'monsters' in the monster kingdom and the 'humans' in the human world are actually the same. In this world, a 'ghost' is a very scary thing … "He seemed to be saying a tongue twister." In any case … this scenario is a haunted hospital in a monster kingdom. "
As he thought about this, he turned the corner.
He just turned around when he saw a figure walking toward him.
"Hi, Lester." A nurse appeared before Feng Bujue and greeted him coquettishly.
She was wearing a white nurse uniform with a low neckline, a short skirt, and long white stockings. Her body was curvaceous, and the cleavage before her chest was immeasurably deep. She had a slender waist and a pair of long legs that could cause one's imagination to run wild.
However … this nurse had the head of an insect.
The head above her neck was that of a giant mosquito. It had a pair of large, bulging compound eyes and a drooping beak that buzzed when she spoke.
The strangest thing was … there were no antennae on her head but a mosquito coil.
Yes, a mosquito coil. And it was the most traditional spiral-shaped mosquito coil, the kind that was burning and giving off smoke …
"Jenny …" Feng Bujue looked at the name on the nurse's badge. "Hmm …" He walked around the nurse and turned to leave. "Good night."
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? "Jenny turned around and asked," Why did you run away when you saw me? "
"How am I supposed to answer this kind of question … I feel like there are too many things to ask about that head of hers …" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself. On the surface, he still replied politely, "Erm … it's nothing. I just happen to have something on hand …"
"Yo …" Jenny placed her hand on Brother Bujue's shoulder and leaned closer. "What is it?" She asked in a soft voice, "Is it about the thing that you and I did in the storage room on the third floor during your shift the night before yesterday?"
"Lester is so powerful … In every sense of the word, he is so powerful!" Feng Bujue roared in his mind, but on the surface, he said in a serious tone, "Haha … I really do have something to do …"
"Tsk …" Jenny scoffed and rolled her eyes at Brother Jue. (Every eye on her compound eyes rolled back at the same time) "You're such a prude …" Then she waved her hands, swayed her hips, and turned to walk away gracefully.
Feng Bujue yelled in his mind, "What is this? Are you really a nurse? Are you sure you're not a role-player at the nightclub? The Monster Kingdom is so open! After playing Thriller Paradise for so long, I finally met a super casual NPC in the scenario … but it was a mosquito! "
…
After bidding farewell to Jenny, Feng Bujue continued to move forward based on the map in his memory. Even though the map was not that valuable, it was better than walking blindly. Brother Bujue believed that … as long as he looked at the places with the 'breaks' on the map, he should be able to find the spot to change the floor. If that did not work … he had thought about it. At most, he would retrace his steps and stay in Room 216 for a minute before running back to the elevator at the beginning of the scenario and taking the elevator to change the floor.
Just like that, he walked for another five minutes before Feng Bujue finally saw something worth celebrating. Not far away from him, on the wall on his left, there was a door. It was an electric sliding door that opened to the left and right, similar to the ones used in convenience stores. However, the door was in a horizontal position, which meant that it opened from top to bottom.
Feng Bujue walked closer, and the door opened on its own. Behind the door was a very short corridor, and three meters away was a T-junction.
"If the gravity changes …" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he lay down.
He sat on the ground and moved forward. When he was close to the edge of the door, he lay down flat and used the bottom of his feet to aim at the door on the wall. Then, he slowly reached his feet into the door. When both of his legs were in, the gravity did indeed shift. Feng Bujue 'fell' into the door with his feet facing the direction of the door.
Since he had adjusted his posture beforehand, he successfully landed on his feet. Even though he did not have the aid of equipment and skills, and his physical fitness was not that high, the difference of two to three meters was not enough to kill him.
The impact after landing was much smaller than Brother Bujue expected. He understood immediately. After all, Lester was a monster. His physical fitness was probably stronger than a normal human being, and the difference between the floors was within his acceptable range.
"This place is …" After Feng Bujue landed, he looked around. From the number of the door not far away, this should be the first floor.
He was not sure where the cafeteria and blood bank were, but the Pediatric Emergency Clinic was definitely at 1F. That was stated in the mission tab. In other words, coming to this floor would allow him to complete at least one side quest.
Furthermore, earlier, the count and Victor had used terms like 'on the way' and 'on the way', so the chance of the cafeteria and blood bank being on the same floor was very high.
"The corridor is no different from the one on the second floor …" After Feng Bujue steadied himself, he picked a direction and walked down it. "By the way … after leaving Room 216, I've been walking for quite some time already, but Chad hasn't shown up …" He thought back to the earlier system notification and said, "So … as long as I keep moving, I won't be hunted down?" He soon overturned that assumption. "No … in that case, I only need to keep walking up and down the corridor to clear the scenario." He was thinking when another corner appeared before him.
"Then … for now, I'll assume that the basis of this scenario is' AFKing '." Feng Bujue continued. "The main mission of this scenario gives the player a high degree of freedom, so it uses a monster like Caretaker Chad to replace the punishment of AFKing." He licked his lips. "Hmm … The terrain here is complicated, and I'm not familiar with this place. If I run into a dead end after triggering Chad's pursuit, and there are no doors nearby that can be opened, then I'll be dead meat." With that in mind, he picked up his pace. "Danger is everywhere … There is a price to pay to understand the rules. After all, this is Nightmare Mode, so it's never wrong to plan ahead. "
As he walked, suddenly, a series of noises echoed in his ears.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
The sound came from a room with the number 109 on it. It sounded like … someone was knocking on something made of iron.
"Is this another trick to scare people?" Feng Bujue wondered. "Or … is this some kind of event waiting to be triggered?"
Clang, clang, clang, clang …
As Feng Bujue got closer, the sound became more urgent. When he reached the door, the sound kept on ringing.
"Hmm … This feels like a death trap …" Brother Jue stood before the door and said calmly.
It was a door that did not have a lock, and it could be opened with a push. It was indeed suspicious.
Normally speaking, in a scary puzzle game, it was best not to barge into a room that was obviously creepy and scary. First, he would look for clues, items, and the like nearby or elsewhere before entering. Perhaps he would be able to resolve the instant death plot.
However, Thriller Paradise was a game that was filled with malice. The system was very reasonable in some aspects and very unreasonable in others.
The door in front of him was most likely a classic horror trap.
Brother Jue pushed the door open, and he might face a death trap, but if he turned and left, he might die as well.
"No hint, no clue …" Feng Bujue mumbled. "Is this a pure gamble?" He thought about it for a second. "No, this is a test of the player's courage."
With that in mind, he stepped forward and pushed the door open.
"Ah!"
There was a shrill scream.
A ghastly pale ghost face flew over.
This was the simplest and most direct method to scare people. It was obvious, but it was always effective.
Unfortunately, it was useless against Feng Bujue.
"I knew it …" Feng Bujue's face was calm, and one could even say that he was disappointed.
After the screams and images flashed past, the clanging sounds also stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.
Brother Jue stepped into the room and started to scan the environment.
Room 109 was very small. It was less than 10 square meters in size. There were many miscellaneous items in the room, and they were basically useless decorations that could not be moved or picked up. But … on a shelf in the corner of the room, there was something very obvious and eye-catching — a treasure chest.
Brother Jue strode to the treasure chest, and the 'unlock panel' appeared in front of him.
