September 5th, 2121.
Early morning.
This was another city hundreds of kilometers away from Qing City.
City Hospital.
Late at night.
The hospital corridor was faintly filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
Because this was the season of respiratory viruses, timely disinfection and protection … were very important.
In the long and narrow corridor, the lights were dim, flickering.
"Didn't we ask the logistics department to fix this broken light a few days ago? It's been a few days and it's still not done. How can they not fire this kind of efficiency? This is f * cking ridiculous. "
A middle-aged security guard held a flashlight and patrolled the hospital corridor in the middle of the night.
He muttered to himself.
Hiss —
Suddenly.
The security guard felt a chill on his back.
There seemed to be a strange chill that swept across his back.
In an instant, it gave him the illusion that a woman had quietly touched him from behind.
— — But this hand was a bit cold.
The security guard was so scared that he shivered and looked back.
There was no one behind him!
There was only one window in the corridor that was open, and the cold wind was blowing.
"Tsk, you scared me!"
It was already autumn in September.
The temperature at night was a bit cold.
Plus, the corridor window was not closed, and the autumn wind was blowing. No wonder there was such an illusion.
The security guard did not dare to complain loudly. He just walked forward and silently closed the corridor window.
Chi —
The flickering light flickered violently again.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have been so greedy to watch those 'weird sick hall' movies. The quality is not good, and it makes people's imagination run wild."
After finding the culprit behind the chill on his back, the middle-aged security guard felt a lot better. Even the flickering light looked inexplicably cute.
"Hmm, it's almost time to sleep —"
Tap.
Tap.
Tap, tap.
Suddenly.
At the end of the dim corridor, there was a crisp sound of high heels.
If one listened carefully, the sound of the high heels seemed to have a strange rhythm, as if —
The movements were not very agile.
Because the sound of a normal person walking should be tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
Not — —
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
"Who is it!"
The middle-aged security guard's legs could not stop shaking.
At the same time when he heard the footsteps, he almost subconsciously turned around and swept the bright flashlight in the direction of the sound.
Not sure if it was because of the horror movie he watched not long ago, the middle-aged security guard felt that the atmosphere in the hospital tonight was a bit strange.
"It's all because of this broken light!"
The middle-aged security guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He did not notice that in these few seconds, the palm of his hand holding the flashlight was full of sweat.
It can't be that bad?
I have an eighty year old mother, and a...
A tall and sexy Figure appeared from the end of the corridor.
It was a female doctor in a white doctor
Hu — —
The moment he saw the figure clearly, the middle-aged security guard let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, he thought of his own shock and couldn't help but find it funny.
He was already so old, but the longer he lived, the more timid he became.
Soon, the female doctor walked up to the middle-aged security guard.
"You are …"
The middle-aged security guard suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a little, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Doctor Doctor
The female doctor lowered her head and looked at the name tag on her chest. There was a young photo on the name tag.
Then Doctor Zhang gestured to the security guard and smiled.
"Oh, hey, Doctor Zhang, are you working the night shift tonight?"
The security guard put away the flashlight and did not know where to put his hands.
There was no other reason. This female doctor was quite beautiful, so the security guard did not dare to look directly at Doctor Zhang's cold eyes.
Doctor Zhang?
Yes, he vaguely remembered that there was such a doctor in the Cardiology Department on this floor.
It was said that she was unmarried and single. If he could be twenty years younger …
"No, I came back to work overtime."
"Overtime? Are you very busy? I also saw the news today. It said that two young children died in the past two days. They were both around twenty years old. The news said that the cause of death was heart disease. Tsk tsk, young people nowadays don't know how to strike a balance between work and rest. They go out all day … "
"Hehe."
Doctor Zhang smiled and did not seem to want to be entangled in this topic.
"By the way, Doctor Zhang, I saw the way you walk. Did you hurt your foot?"
Hearing this, Doctor Zhang's expression suddenly became a bit strange.
She just shook her head: "I'm not used to wearing high heels."
The middle-aged security guard saw Doctor Zhang's expression and instantly shut up.
— — Asking for a snub.
He quickly waved his hand: "Then, Doctor Zhang, I'll continue to patrol. This won't bother you!"
The security guard quickly smiled and left the enchanting Doctor Zhang's side.
Doctor Zhang nodded softly and walked in the direction of the ward without looking back.
The middle-aged security guard could not help but look back.
That little bum was … * cough cough * See no evil, see no evil.
Afraid that the beauty would find out that he was peeping, the middle-aged security guard quickly turned back and continued to patrol. He did not dare to look for too long and picked up the flashlight again.
Generally speaking …
Patrol was just a formality.
Or to deal with some disputes that were inconvenient for the doctors on duty to deal with.
After all …
The conflict between doctors and patients was indeed very difficult to explain.
Otherwise, who would hire an old man like him to be a security guard?
The middle-aged security guard yawned, and the surrounding temperature seemed to be a little warmer.
Sure enough, it was that damn window. The cold wind blew, which scared people to death.
"Sigh, I heard that because of the increase in the incidence of heart disease among young people, the news just said that our hospital should do some data statistics and write a proposal to advocate for the citizens to eat reasonably and work and rest —"
"It's not easy to be a doctor these days. Not only do you have to know how to treat patients, but you also have to know how to write a proposal. You also have to be able to stay up late and have good skills. Your Body-strengthening Technique and Swimming Dragon Steps can't be too low … Tsk tsk."
"That's right —"
The middle-aged security guard suddenly remembered something.
It was just this morning.
The city news seemed to have published a memorial article.
It said that a female doctor in a hospital in the city had suddenly died of a heart attack at home. They also urged the citizens of the city to forward it.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged security guard turned on his phone and reviewed the news that he did not read carefully in the morning.
"Eh? She's actually a doctor in our unit? "
"Wow! A woman? Only 26 years old? Unmarried! Sigh, what a pity! "
"I heard that the body is still in the freezer of the morgue …"
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
The middle-aged security guard inexplicably felt that the doctor who died of a heart attack looked a little familiar.
As everyone knew, there was always a big gap between appearance and photos.
The middle-aged security guard rubbed his eyes.
He looked at the name of the deceased at the bottom of the news.
"Zhang … Zhang … Zhang …"
In an instant, the middle-aged security guard's face turned pale.
Slap.
The phone fell to the ground and made a sound.
"Oh? So it's' me '? "
A voice suddenly sounded from behind the middle-aged security guard who was cold all over.
Murmuring in a low voice.
It was close to his ear.
A delicate fragrance assailed his nose.
…
…
Qingcheng.
The weather was gloomy.
Irin silently browsed the "apostle forum".
[Senior gods, your brains are numb. You have doubts about the agility enhancement route. Do you know how to improve it?]
[Now that I think about it, I was so lucky in the previous trial!]
[The heartwarming story of me and a female apostle in a trial is being serialized!]
[Oh my god, oh my god! I'm a powerhouse, but my spirit attribute was increased more than my strength in the previous trial!]
[Newbie, may I ask, what level is it to get an A evaluation in two trials in a row?]
…
Then, there were all kinds of replies below —
[OP, cut it off for eternity!]
[Manual comical!]
[Dog head, save me!]
[Tiger body trembles, three minutes to leave!]
[Life is as lonely as snow —]
[Bragging is a kind of attitude.]
"…"
Irin briefly browsed through it and didn't seem to find anything particularly interesting, so she silently closed the forum.
A post filled with boastful comments …
Took up 90% of the time.
But it was understandable.
Compared to a certain period in the future, the current apostle circle was still in the "peaceful period".
— — It was very normal.
Not far away.
Pan Zhengyi was expressionless, with a hint of coldness.
Suddenly.
Pan Zhengyi raised his hand.
An invisible aura slowly emitted from his body.
"Apostle panel!"
Irin: "…"
A few seconds later, Pan Zhengyi changed his posture.
"Again, apostle panel!"
Irin: "…"
"Damn it — apostle panel, damn it!"
Irin: "…"
Pan Zhengyi tried another 18 postures.
Finally, he put down his sore arms.
Then, he ran in front of Irin and opened his palm.
"Give me a bottle of 'Forgotten Love Water'!"
"That's called Happy Drink," Irin corrected him.
"It doesn't matter, I want to drink it."
Irin helplessly took out the "Happy Drink" from the inventory and threw it to Pan Zhengyi.
Pan Zhengyi raised his head and gulped down a big mouthful.
Then he began to sing happily.
"Happy breakup ~ I wish you happiness ~ You can find something better ~"
While singing loudly, Pan Zhengyi gradually walked away.
Bang.
Then, he closed the door and locked it.
Irin sighed softly. "Another one has gone crazy."
…
Pan Zhengyi's strange reaction could be traced back to when Irin and Pan Zhengyi had just returned from the simple and honest Gotham City.
That day.
Irin looked at the painful "50000 chaos value" requirement and speechlessly exited the module space.
Pan Zhengyi ran over with a frown.
Irin spent five seconds to carefully analyze Pan Zhengyi's expression and actions and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Pan Xiaozheng?"
Yes, the relatively normal Pan Zhengyi.
"That's not important!" Pan Xiaozheng's expression seemed to be a little complicated. "What happened in the trial?"
Irin heard this and could not help but be slightly stunned. "What happened to you and you're asking me?"
Pan Xiaozheng hesitated for a moment, but still told his story tirelessly.
Unfortunately —
There was no wine.
Irin listened to the end.
He could not help but fall into deep thought.
Pan Zhengyi was actually more mysterious than he had imagined.
Could it be that the world of lunatics was really so difficult to understand?
"In other words, you usually share memories. Even if you don't appear, you can still see the outside through 'his' eyes?"
"Yes!" Pan Zhengyi nodded.
"Then in Gotham City, the only thing you remember is' the other you ', hiding in the ladies' room to put on makeup? Then … that's it? "
Pan Xiaozheng sighed. "Then … when I woke up, I was lying in a nursing home, surrounded by corpses."
"You don't remember anything in between?"
"Yes." Pan Zhengyi saw that Irin finally understood and felt inexplicably better. "It may be difficult for you to understand the relationship between 'him' and me. It's also difficult for me to explain clearly in a short period of time …"
Nonsense, it would be abnormal if a normal person could understand.
Irin silently said this in his heart.
But he did not interrupt Pan Zhengyi's words.
"Usually when I appear, well, 'he' is in a state similar to deep sleep. Actually, 'he' should also feel my presence, so most of the time, 'he' subconsciously doesn't go to sleep, unless … he really can't help it. "
"That's the origin of his dark circles?"
"Err … that's not important." Pan Zhengyi shrugged. "When I woke up in the nursing home, I felt … something different. 'He' doesn't feel like he's in a deep sleep. It feels like … he's gone."
"Gone?" Irin's expression turned serious.
Pan Xiaozheng rubbed his messy hair. "No, that's not quite accurate. In short, I am very sure that when I woke up, I did not take the medicine … the 'NT-046'."
Irin lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
In other words.
Pan Xiaozheng did not understand what was going on with Pan Zhengyi's inexplicably accurate intuition in the second main quest.
One minute later, Irin chuckled.
"Isn't that good?"
Irin was referring to Pan Xiaozheng's official promotion.
"No, you don't understand," Pan Xiaozheng's face was conflicted. "'He' only feels like he's gone, but he's actually still here!"
"What do you mean?" Irin heard this and frowned slightly.
"I can't open the apostle panel!"
“？”
"Pan Zhengyi is not here. Other than opening the storage space, I can't use the apostle panel or skills!"
"Oh —" Irin understood. He pointed at Pan Zhengyi and slowly said, "So, you're now a moving warehouse?"
Pan Xiaozheng: "…"
He really wanted to punch this guy's face with his low charisma.
But he could not refute.
"Then go to sleep." Irin waved his hand.
Pan Xiaozheng: "?"
Irin chuckled. "If you don't sleep … what's the use of having you?"
Pan Xiaozheng: "…"
In short —
Pan Xiaozheng was crippled.
It was quite sudden.
At first, he thought that it was his main account that had come online. He did not expect that Pan Xiaozheng had only hacked half of the account and could not obtain the full authority of this body. No wonder he was so depressed and conflicted.
Suddenly.
Pan Xiaozheng silently rummaged through the storage space.
Suddenly, he took out a metal baseball bat from the storage space.
Irin looked at it.
His eyelids twitched slightly.
This metal baseball bat was really too familiar.
He reckoned that Li Erpang, who had been tortured by the baseball bat, would be so scared that his two hundred pounds of fat would bounce on the spot when he saw this bat.
After all —
He was traumatized.
"You brought this out before you left?"
After the shock, Irin could not help but frown.
He remembered that the equipment of the villains could not be brought out of this world.
[Question Mark Scepter] was the same.
He did not know the reason.
The only two items that Irin brought out from Gotham City were [Bat Battle Suit — Modified] and [Bat Motorcycle].
[Bat Battle Suit — Modified] was the kind of useless equipment that he could not use.
Therefore, when Irin saw Pan Xiaozheng take out the bat, he had such a reaction.
Pan Xiaozheng was quite conflicted. He was not in the mood.
He just casually played with it and said casually, "No, it's a draw."
A draw?
Irin: "…? Let me take a look? "
Pan Xiaozheng was not worried that Irin would snatch the bat away and threw it directly at Irin.
The metal bat … it was lighter than expected.
Of course.
This was also because Irin's strength attribute had increased by a lot.
Harley Quinn's metal bat was full of holes, but the end was very smooth, as if it had been carefully polished over the years.
…
[Harley Quinn's good friend]
[Grade] Epic
[Restrictions] Strength greater than 5.0, Luck greater than 5.0
[Durability] Does not wear out
[Effect] Click to view details
[Description] Click to view details
…
“！”
Irin expressionlessly threw the [Harley Quinn's good friend] back to Pan Zhengyi.
Then, he said nothing.
He rushed into the bathroom.
Five minutes later.
Yi Lin washed her hands thoroughly, washing them a total of 15 times.
After walking out from the bathroom, he saw that Pan Xiaozheng was still playing with the 'good friend' in boredom.
En, he played with it for 15 minutes.
Was it really that fun?
Irin's face turned slightly odd.
"Right, when it was time to calculate, it was you … what was your rating?"
After asking that, Irin added, "If you feel that it is inconvenient, you can choose not to tell me. I won't force you."
These were the apostles' secrets after all.
Irin did not feel that his relationship with Pan Zhengyi and Pan Xiaozheng was that good.
He asked that because he had some speculations about the previous instance dungeon. He still needed to get some information from Pan Xiaozheng.
Pan Xiaozheng did not seem to think that this was a big deal. He tossed the [Harley Quinn's good friend] around and said casually, "Rating B, but it rose to A later. Why?"
A?
Irin recalled Pan Zhengyi's performance in Gotham City.
Rose to A, which meant …
Pan Zhengyi only had one chance to get a random reward?
Wait a minute.
He had managed to obtain an Epic Equipment from the trial with a single lucky draw?
Irin's eyes twitched slightly.
His expression was somewhat stupefied.
"Like I said, this is your secret. You can choose not to tell me. But I still want to ask … before you were able to see the apostle panel, what was your … or Pan Zhengyi's luck? "
"8.6, why? Is it very high? "
"Not high … you can go to sleep now."
“？”
"Scram, I need some peace and quiet."
…
…
In short, this was Pan Xiaozheng's story that he had to tell.
After his attributes soared, there was indeed a side effect.
Different from the rapid increase in spirit attribute, the increase in strength and agility attribute in a short period of time would cause his body to be uncoordinated.
After all, this was equivalent to a supernatural power that was forcefully added onto the apostle's body. It was not something that could be obtained through training.
It took a few days.
Irin was finally able to familiarize himself with his strengthened body.
September 9, 2121.
Irin was in the washroom.
Don't misunderstand, he was not washing his hands.
Irin used Blood Jasmine to lightly cut a wound on his finger.
Blood flowed out.
Irin was expressionless. Instead, he opened the apostle panel and looked at the recovery of his HP while observing the healing speed of the wound.
"Mm, the experiment is almost done."
After saying that, Irin raised his eyebrows.
Xiu —
A finger was cut off.
Three minutes later.
Irin walked out of the washroom.
Through 36 experiments of varying degrees, he had a rough understanding of what had happened to his body after strengthening the [Dionysus Factor (Incomplete)].
"Also … when I have time, I need to send a tube of blood for Meng Meng to test."
[Dionysus Factor (Incomplete)]'s description had an "unknown side effect" that made Irin feel uneasy.
But from the looks of it, he did not find any special side effects.
However, the healing ability, although it was not clearly stated on the attribute.
But Irin tested it on his body 36 times.
He came to a conclusion.
It was not that the healing ability did not consume anything. What this ability consumed was his stamina.
Human stamina was not digitized on the apostle panel.
Actually, it could not be digitized either.
But after activating the healing ability a few times, Irin could clearly feel the fatigue coming from his body.
After a few more times of healing, his entire body felt like it was hollowed out.
This made him feel a little helpless.
But all in all, [Dionysus Factor (Incomplete)] was worthy of being a grade A enhanced. It was half a grade higher than the [Killing Technique] that Irin comprehended on Haunted-mist Mountain.
This greatly increased Irin's survivability.
After Irin put away the blood jasmine.
Since he was bored, Irin casually opened the communication list.
At this time, Irin noticed that Li Changge's profile picture had been set as "Do Not Disturb".
Because Li Changge was too noisy before, after setting the "Do Not Disturb", Irin did not think of it for a while and threw this matter to the back of his mind.
Irin opened Li Changge's chat interface.
After omitting a lot of nonsense at the beginning.
The last message was actually from two days ago.
Unlike Li Changge's usual style, this message from two days ago was unexpectedly concise and comprehensive.
There were only four words —
"Boss, save me!"
