After Feng Bujue rushed out of the elevator, he started to run down the corridor. But to his surprise … just as he turned the corner, something unexpected happened.
The corridor in front of him was filled with ghostly shadows.
"Where did they come from?" Feng Bujue looked at these translucent figures and thought to himself. "The lights are still on, and I'm not wearing sunglasses … So, how come I can see them?"
He had his suspicions, but he did not stop running. He could not afford to waste any more time. Even if there was something wrong, he had to force his way through.
The ghosts naturally noticed Brother Jue's appearance, and they reacted immediately. They all turned their faces around and groaned incoherently. At the same time, their bodies started to move at a very slow frequency. They reached out their arms toward Brother Jue … as if they were trying to pull him back.
"No way …" Feng Bujue only took a few steps before he realized something was wrong. "They can affect me now …"
He used the term 'affect' instead of 'touch', which meant that the ghosts did not have the ability to come into physical contact with him, but … they were not completely unaffected.
At that moment, when Feng Bujue 'passed' through the translucent ghosts, there was an obvious sense of obstruction. This feeling was like swimming on land. Each ghost was like an invisible and heavy cloud of air. Once a player came into contact with them, they would slow down the player.
"Looks like there's not much time left …" Feng Bujue tried his best to focus. As he resisted the chill that came from his body, he twisted and turned among the ghosts to maintain his speed. "The closer Lester's' body 'is to death, the more obvious the influence these ghosts will have on me. Until … I become one of them. "
Fortunately, not every corridor was filled with ghosts. After this part of the corridor, the situation in the surroundings became much better. Even though there were still one or two scattered ghosts blocking the way, as long as there were not many of them, they would not slow down Brother Jue.
After running for ten minutes, Feng Bujue came to the door of Room 216. He pushed the door open and saw …
Victor and the earl had left the bed and were standing by the window. They were fighting a strange shadow that was poking its body out from the window.
"Ah! It's you! Come help me! " When Victor heard the sound of the door opening, he glanced at the door from the corner of his eyes and shouted.
The earl added, "Don't forget to close the door!"
Feng Bujue did not say anything. He slammed the door shut and strode forward.
In these few seconds, Brother Jue's eyes were fixed on the strange shadow that poked its head out from the window. It was a monster in a coarse green robe and had a hideous face. Its head was like a broken bag. It had no hair, no ears, and no nose. Its eyes and mouth were like three black holes.
"What should I do?" Even though Feng Bujue was fast, he did not have any skills, and the only equipment he had was a cleaver. Furthermore, only the upper half of the monster's body was outside the window, and it was entangled with the count and Victor. Even if Feng Bujue wanted to cut it down, it would not be easy.
"You idiot! With the very thing you just extorted from me! "cried Viktor.
"So, that's how it is …" Feng Bujue said. "So, that's the setting …" Hearing Victor's hint, he seemed to have understood something instantly.
Item Name: Moonlight Bomb
Item Type: Consumable
[Quality: Excellent]
Special Effect: Create a 'moonlight explosion'.
Remark: Made with elfin craftsmanship, it will explode upon impact. After the explosion, the moonlight stored inside the bomb will be released.
Even though this thing was defined as a consumable, from the special effect and remark, it was most likely meant to be used in this scenario. The question was, where should it be used?
At that moment, that question was easily answered.
Before Victor finished, Feng Bujue put on the sunglasses and tossed the bomb at him.
With a bang, there was an explosion of light. Then, an incomparably mournful wail was heard.
This burst of light was very strange. It was clearly a very strong light, but it did not irritate the eyes. The earl and Victor were not affected; they did not even close their eyes. They only took a few steps back, away from the monster that started to 'spontaneously combusted' after being hit by the moonlight.
"Hmm … Looks like I've overdone it?" Feng Bujue thought to himself as he looked at the scene before him.
Brother Jue retraced the plot in his mind, and he soon understood. If he had not extorted Victor's Key when he handed over the mission, when he returned to this room, the battle would have already ended, and he would not have needed to be there.
Based on what he had done, it would have been more difficult.
[Moonlight Bomb] was not an item that he had to get. He would only have the chance to use it when he had all the flags ready. At the very least, he had to fulfill the conditions of 'successfully extorting Victor', 'completed Victor and Harper's mission, and did not go to the blood bank', 'did not go to the third floor, and completed the deal with the little girl'. Only then would he be able to reach this point, and achieve the plot branch of 'the player kills the Mirror Demon with his own hands.'
Feng Bujue was able to follow his usual style of doing things and unintentionally reach this point. He had to admit that he was quite capable.
"He's trying to escape! Find a mirror and suck him in! "Suddenly, there was another shout. It was Victor's shrill voice.
At the same time, the burning body of the Mirror Demon was gradually 'retreating' back into the window. The monster seemed to be struggling at death's door and was trying to escape back into the mirror.
"Let me do it!" Feng Bujue said as he took out a small mirror from his pocket and raised his hand to look at the Mirror Demon.
As he expected, once the mirror shone on the Mirror Demon's body, the monster was unable to move. He was stuck on the window and slowly turned into ashes.
The wailing gradually disappeared, and the room returned to silence.
The count and Victor both walked slowly back to their beds, and they both let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
Feng Bujue also caught his breath and said, "The one who smiled at me earlier and created the illusion of the bloody handprint … was him, right?"
"Hey! Buddy, I smell blood, "the count said." You've brought the stuff, right? I'm thirsty. "
Feng Bujue hurried over and handed the two packs of Type B blood that he took from the blood bank to the count.
The count was a straightforward person. As if he knew that his Brother Jue was in a hurry, after accepting the blood packs, he quickly took out the reward from his patient's pocket and handed it over.
The reward this time was … a white sock.
Yes, there was only one, and it did not even have an item description. It felt like trash.
However, Feng Bujue knew the use of this item. He took out the other sock from his pocket and held both of them in his hands. As he expected … they were of the same design and color. Furthermore, the item description page appeared when the sock was put together.
Item Name: A Pair of Thermal Cotton Socks
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Greatly reduces the effect of freezing on the body.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: It is very important to keep your feet warm. Of course, you don't have to put it on.
The remark was correct. There was no need to put it on because when the two socks were placed together, the chill around Feng Bujue disappeared. Obviously, this pair of socks was just a symbolic presence in this' space '. It could make Lester' feel 'better, but … it would not prolong the survival of his' body '.
"Okay … Guys, I still have something else to do." After handing in the quest, Feng Bujue took out the Teleportation Stone to the third floor and prepared to go up.
"Good luck, buddy."
"You did well earlier, but I will still file a complaint against you!"
"The beer is so delicious!"
The three weirdos in the room said their lines as a response to the player.
Several seconds later, Feng Bujue activated the item in his hand. He saw a white light flash before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the scenery around him changed.
The teleportation stone in his hand disappeared after it was used. That was not a good sign …
The third floor of the hospital was obviously isolated from the other floors. There was no staircase that led to this place on the second floor, and the elevator did not connect to this place. The only teleportation stone was one-way. All of this proved one thing … After reaching this floor, it was not far from the boss battle.
"Okay … Mr. Director." Feng Bujue took out the cleaver and walked forward. "Your big brother is here …"
The teleportation stone had a fixed destination. At that moment, there was a wall three meters behind Brother Jue, and there was no fork in the road. It was just a long corridor that stretched out in a straight line.
Both sides of the corridor were snow-white walls. For the time being, he couldn't see the door or any other reference point.
Feng Bujue walked for about one hundred meters and finally found a door on his right.
"Seems to be locked." When he grabbed the door handle, the system notification appeared.
"Hmm … Could this be the director's office?" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he took out the key to the director's office. He tried to insert it into the keyhole, but it could not be inserted.
"I knew it … It really isn't …" He immediately took out another key, which was the backup key that Lester had secretly made.
This time … it worked.
After opening the door, Feng Bujue saw something unbelievable … Behind the door was not a room but a small space about three meters long, and three meters away … there was another door.
Feng Bujue walked in cautiously and soon grabbed the handle of the door behind him. The system notification appeared again. "This exit will allow you to leave the hospital directly. Are you sure you want to leave now?"
"Oh … so convenient …" Naturally, Feng Bujue did not open the door. He pulled his hand back and mumbled, "After killing the director, I can leave the hospital from here, right?" As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to return to the corridor.
Unexpectedly, a second later, he heard another notification: [This room can only be entered once. Once you leave this room, the room will disappear.]
"What!" Feng Bujue was shocked. "This is a trap, isn't it? To set up a room like this on the path to the boss battle, any normal person would come in! But after I came in, you told me that this is a one-time use! "
Brother Jue could only stand in the small, enclosed space. He scratched his chin and tried to come up with a solution. "The mission clearly states that I have to kill the director before leaving the hospital … If I leave through this door now, the main mission will definitely fail … But if I leave this place and go find the director, this room will disappear …"
He thought about it and decided not to open the door. If he did, he would definitely fail, but if he did not open the door … there was still a ray of hope. He could find another way to escape after killing the director.
"Open the door and you will be reborn." Suddenly, the system notification appeared again.
"Hmm?" Feng Bujue was startled for two seconds when he heard that. Then he laughed, a cold laugh …
"Ha … Hahahaha!" The cold laugh slowly turned into laughter. "Hahahaha …" The laughter turned into a maniacal laugh, and there was a clear sense of mockery in the laughter.
Before the laughter stopped, Brother Jue walked out of the room and returned to the corridor. With a swing of his arm, he closed the door beside him.
"That's like drawing legs on a snake … Mr. Dean!" He yelled at the empty corridor and ran away.
At this time, Feng Bujue's eyes were filled with determination.
After running for three minutes, he saw the other end of the corridor. There … was a door made of gold.
With the key in his left hand and the cleaver in his right, Feng Bujue walked forward without hesitation. He inserted the [Director's Office Key] into the keyhole of the door and pushed it open.
The next second, a blinding golden light burst out. The room that appeared before Brother Jue was more spacious than the cafeteria on the first floor. The floor was covered in gold bricks, and large oil paintings hung on the four walls. There were art decorations in the corner, and there was even a chandelier on the ceiling.
Next to the window was an office desk that faced south, and opposite the desk was a window. Even though it was dark outside the window, the 'person' who sat in the chair was still facing the window, leisurely smoking a cigar.
"You just refuse to give up, don't you … traveler from another world?" The director said as he turned the chair around.
The hospital director had the appearance of a human being. He was about 1.7 meters tall, had a beer belly, was balding, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
He wasn't wearing any clothes, but … he was "wearing" something else.
It was unclear whether it was a stream of consciousness representation or there was indeed such a race in the monster kingdom. In any case, the director's skin was covered with a layer of 'copper coins'. They were round and square holes, and they were thick and shiny.
"You are quite sharp …" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and looked at the man. "I know someone who can interfere with the system voice …" He seemed to be referring to Billy. "I didn't expect there to be more than one …"
"If I didn't say that last sentence, perhaps you would have succeeded …" the director said as he puffed out the smoke.
"Oh, you mean 'open that door, and you will be reborn', right?" Feng Bujue added. "Ha … Actually, it doesn't matter. Before you said that, I had already decided not to open that door." He paused for a moment and shrugged. "But it's still meaningful for you to say that out loud …" He laughed mockingly. "At least you let me know two things … First, you're afraid of me. Second, you're an idiot."
"Humph … Afraid of you? Why would I be afraid of you? "the director replied." Do you think you can defeat me with that cleaver of yours? "
"It's too late for that, idiot." Feng Bujue added. "When I first arrived at this scenario, your lack of confidence was already showing." He smiled. "Your opening statement was indeed confusing … You did not lie about Lester's personality. He is indeed an open-minded person. But … when you said 'no one likes him', that is very strange. " He titled his head. "If no one likes him, then based on the fact that he 'harassed the nurses and female doctors', you could have fired him, couldn't you? Once someone complained about him for sexual harassment, you could have fired him immediately. "
Feng Bujue started to pace back and forth in the room like he was putting on a detective show. "After I met Jenny, I was even more certain that there was no such thing as' harassment '. At most, it was' flirting '." The mocking smile on his face became more obvious. "Now that I look at your opening statement … I can see a lot of 'jealousy' in it. Things like 'your handsome face' and 'your lack of self-control' … Haha … Mr. Director, I think you are so jealous that you have lost your mind. "
The director's expression turned ugly, and the face that was covered by the copper plate was already twisted.
But Feng Bujue was far from done. He continued aggressively, "Yes, Lester has done many things that do not follow the rules, but for the other employees and patients of the hospital, that is a good thing. Or perhaps we can use a word — 'care'. That is something that people like you will not understand." He shook his head. "Because he is so popular with everyone, it is very difficult for you to fire him … Therefore, your resentment toward him has only grown." He turned around and raised a finger. "However … you are the director after all. Under your constant pressure, the HR department compromised. Finally, you can get rid of that annoying kid. "
"Haha … Perhaps it is fate. Lester's last night shift is on December 5th." Feng Bujue paused for a few seconds and continued with a smile. "Just as you said … he often fails to arrive on time, so this time it is the same. He is late again." His eyes changed slightly, and he met the director's gaze. "And this time, being late has saved him, stopping him at the gates of hell."
The director's face was twisted, and he said in a low voice, "Humph … Are you sure?"
"Of course I am." Feng Bujue did not wait for the director to finish. "On the way here, I already understood …" He reached out and pointed behind him. "The room earlier, the so-called 'door to leave the hospital', was not prepared for Lester at all …" His expression turned serious. "That was a door for you to escape …"
