"Looks like … you're not a patient of this hospital …" Feng Bujue asked probingly.
His hands did not stop moving and his mind was spinning.
The story that the girl told, the tone of her voice, and the clothes she was wearing all revealed the same thing — she was probably one of the earliest earthbound spirits on this land.
"Why do you say that?" the girl asked.
"I've looked at the map of the first floor three or four times and personally visited many places. I can basically confirm that … on the first floor of the hospital near the lobby, there are only eighteen rooms with room numbers, 101 to 118. And on the other side of the cafeteria, Block B, the room numbers should start from 101B … "Feng Bujue answered." So … this Room 125 does not exist. "
After the little girl heard this, she did not respond at all. She sat where she was and did not say anything.
"What's going on … My words did not trigger the next step of the plot? Or … did I trigger something bad? "Brother Jue wondered internally." Or … is it because I didn't manage to comb her hair properly? "
"If you don't know how to comb her hair, then stop wasting time." Right then, the girl suddenly changed the topic.
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and hesitated for two seconds. In those two seconds, he was considering whether to continue or not. "Fine …" In the end, he gave up.
"Put down the comb," the girl said coldly. "I'll do it myself." As she said that, she raised her small hand and added, "According to our agreement, I'll give you this …" A piece of candy had appeared in her palm.
It was a square piece of candy wrapped in a piece of black candy paper, and it faintly emitted a cereal fragrance.
Name: Little Black Rabbit Creamy Candy
Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Perhaps you can use it to exchange for something.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: A weird-tasting snack, the favorite of the White Wolf Tribe.
"Phew … This is great. So, all I need to do is hand over the comb." Feng Bujue was secretly glad.
Brother Jue quickly put the comb on the bedside table and reached out to take the candy.
"Uncle, you still have a lot of things to do …" the little girl said immediately after handing over the candy. She tilted her head back and stared at Brother Jue. "You'd better hurry up … Your time … is running out."
Cold, bone-chilling cold …
The little girl's words were like a basin of ice water, drenching Feng Bujue's heart.
This wasn't a mental illusion, but a real cold, a cold that was almost suffocating.
"Then I'll take my leave …" When Feng Bujue said this, he could clearly see the white steam coming out of his mouth. He opened the game menu to take a look, and the [Frostbite] status was clearly displayed.
These unforeseen events were all sending out a clear signal — they shouldn't stay here for long.
Looks like this Room 125 is similar to the security room … Once some kind of trigger is triggered, the player will have to leave immediately, or else it'll be a dead end, Feng Bujue thought to himself.
Since he knew something was wrong, there was no reason for him to hesitate. He grabbed the flashlight and turned to run.
Brother Jue was not slow, but he was still too late. In these few short seconds, a pair of invisible, cold, giant hands had already gripped him in the middle of their palms. Piercing pain came from his joints, and his muscles suddenly froze and went numb.
At that moment, the door that was so close felt like it was hundreds of miles away from him. Every step he took was incredibly difficult.
"Oh … F * ck!"
Feng Bujue did not mean to curse, but upon closer inspection … he actually spat out the gum in his mouth with a "Oh!" and then cursed under his breath.
The three times the size of the gum in his mouth had now turned into a large lump of ice. If he had spat it out a few seconds later, the lump of ice would have frozen in his mouth and blocked his throat.
"No way …" Feng Bujue looked at his rapidly decreasing Life Points and was shocked.
Five seconds later, he finally finished the few steps with gritted teeth and reached for the door handle.
Thankfully, there was no difficulty in opening the door. He twisted and turned, and the door opened smoothly.
"Just a little bit more …" Brother Jue used all the energy in his body to dash out the door. At the same time, he swung his arm and slammed the door of Room 125.
Bang!
After the sound of the door closing, the feeling of cold disappeared.
Feng Bujue knelt in the corridor and panted for a long time before he could catch his breath. The rising temperature quickly removed his Frostbite status, and the loss of Life Points stopped.
"That was close …" He turned over and sat on the ground. He picked up the flashlight that had rolled by his feet and mumbled, "This difficulty came out of nowhere …" He took out the candy from his pocket and looked at it in his palm. "This plot is not even a side mission, but it is so difficult … Could it be …"
A light bulb lit up in his mind, and his expression shifted.
"Hmm … I get it now." Feng Bujue sighed and stood up from the ground. "In any case … I should find that 'key' first …"
…
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye … Feng Bujue walked out from the dark corridor and mumbled, "The key to the pediatric consultation room isn't here …" When he returned to the relatively brighter area, he switched off the flashlight and put it away. "Thankfully, I found something else …"
Obviously, the mission given by the goblin was not going to be as easy as he thought.
After Brother Jue exited Room 125, when he turned back to look, the door to the room had already disappeared. Then, he tried every door in the dark area … Other than the nursery room that he had visited earlier, there were only two rooms that he could enter, and all the other doors said, 'Cannot be opened.'
Thus, he rummaged through the two rooms and dismantled the furniture … Finally, he found two items. Unfortunately … they weren't keys.
The first one was:
Item Name: Torn X-Ray Film
Item Type: Plot Item
[Rarity: Broken]
Function: Unknown
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: It is only half of the film. Under the light, it appears to show some blurry images.
This was found on the back of a burnt child. When Brother Jue prepared to remove this' half 'of the film, the system provided him with a caption. "This X-Ray film is stuck to a burnt object. Tearing it off might damage it."
With such an obvious hint, naturally, he followed it. With the aid of the hair spray, he slowly peeled the film off the back of the child.
The second item he found was undeniably the other half of the torn X-Ray film.
However … in the end, Feng Bujue did not bring the two films out with him. Because the two films themselves had no value, the only thing that was useful was the six-digit code that was recorded on the film.
In the dark, Brother Jue had used the flashlight to observe these two 'unknown' items. Therefore … after he exited the room, he headed straight for Room 109. Once he entered the door, he jumped toward the treasure chest.
The interface to unlock the chest appeared before his eyes, and the prompt said, 'Please enter the six-digit code.'
"203040 …" After Feng Bujue keyed in the code, the notification said, "The code is correct."
With a click, the treasure chest opened.
Brother Jue had high hopes that he would be able to get a new equipment or skill, but …
Item Name: Key to the Pediatric Consultation Room (Emergency)
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: You can see the item's name.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: This is strange … Why would this key be locked inside a lockbox? And the code to the lockbox is recorded on an X-Ray film? And the X-Ray film is torn in half and placed in two different places? What the hell is going on?]
"Yes! What the hell is going on?! " Feng Bujue read the item description that was filled with malice and could not help but roar. "F * ck, the system is spitting out all the f * ck! Speaking of which, the key should be the strangest item in all the puzzle-solving games! Hiding the key to Room A in Room B, then hiding the key to Room B in Room C. Repeating this cycle and setting up layers upon layers of puzzles … Isn't this the most illogical thing? "
Indeed … if one had to conclude, most horror games used this method to guide the player so that the player could start the exploration in a certain order.
"Humph …" After Feng Bujue roared, his annoyance dissipated slightly. "Oh well, at least I've completed one of the missions." He picked up the key and walked toward the Pediatric Consultation Room that was not far away.
He used the key to open the door to the consultation room and pushed it open. There was no light in the room, so he turned on the flashlight to start his search.
Even though the atmosphere in the room was oppressive, there were no hidden scares. Of course, even if there were … for Brother Jue, it was nothing.
Not long after, he found the mission item in one of the drawers of the desk.
Item Name: Victor's Key
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Unlock Victor's family's wine cellar.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
[Note: Many years ago, Victor Ridwox was just a second-hand vendor who sold old goods. He was a nobody. Until one day, he obtained the recipe for a mysterious drink from a faraway eastern country. After that, he frequently carried out trading activities with the dwarves, and his business was smooth sailing. He quickly became a well-known nouveau riche. When people asked him the secret to his success, Victor would say, "The dwarves are generous entrepreneurs, and my wine cellar is more like a money-printing factory."
"It's you!" After reading the remark, Feng Bujue was reminded of something, and he yelled, "It's you!"
That's right, Victor Ridwox was the guy who bought [Bloodcorpses Must Die] from the legendary dwarven craftsman, Orr Must Die.
The life of Mr. "All Must Die" could be said to be a grand and tragic epic. He was scammed many times because of the four words — wine, sex, avarice, and anger. It was these scams that spurred him to create many legendary items.
And Victor's appearance was the prologue to this epic.
"Hehehe …" Feng Bujue suddenly laughed wickedly. "I have a feeling … that I can use this thing to blackmail him …" His face darkened, and he pretended to say, "Wei … if you don't hand over eight or ten legendary items today, I will eat your precious key …"
After fantasizing for a while, Brother Bujue carefully put away his' blackmail capital 'and walked out of the room toward the dining room.
He had no idea … there was an 'old friend' waiting for him there.
…
At the same time, in the kitchen of the dining room.
A large figure was busy in front of the spacious kitchen counter.
His body was humanoid, but he had a pig's head. He was wearing a white singlet and camouflage military trousers, and he had a big belly. His exposed muscles were light pink, and the muscles on his arms looked as hard as rocks.
Suddenly, he turned his head slightly and muttered, "Finally … here …"
As he spoke, he put down the long spoon in his hand, covered the lid of the pot in front of him, and turned the gas to a small flame.
Then, he picked up a kitchen knife and walked out of the kitchen.
