Chapter 124: Memory Retrieval Clinic

In the afternoon, Ke Lan took Wu Ruimao and the others to challenge a relatively simple level scene nearby.

In their words, it is to hone the team, increase personal experience, and at the same time, obtain some [Memory] cards.

This is a good thing.

The scene is also relatively simple, it is just 'taking up a seat'.

The level scene is in a nearby library, and the rules are very simple. Follow the prompts in each game, crack it, and find the corresponding seat in the library. The challenge is considered a success if you sit in the seat within the specified time.

Apparently, this level scene isn't difficult.

The real difficulty may be how to use the prompts to decipher the corresponding seat location.

If it were just Wu Ruimao, Guo Zening and the other three, it would definitely be very difficult to challenge this scene because they are not good at solving puzzles. But with Ke Lan here, things are very simple. Although the clues and seat positions are different for each challenge of this scene, the essence remains the same. Ke Lan can still crack the clues and find the corresponding seat positions in a short time.

Another difficulty is that after cracking the seat position, a sixty-second countdown will be immediately triggered.

Everyone must sit in the designated seats within sixty seconds.

This requires both speed and consideration of each party's position before cracking.

For example, one person can be assigned to each floor. In this way, after cracking the system, if the location is on different floors, the time of going up and down the stairs can be saved. Ke Lan has experience in this matter, so he can make good arrangements.

"This is not difficult, so how did you get injured?" Luo Xi looked at Guo Zening.

The latter sighed, "Don't mention it. Yes, Ke Lan arranged it very well, but he didn't tell me that there was someone sitting in that seat. I ran over and saw that there was a child sitting there, but my time was limited, so I..."

"Did you chase the kid away?"

“Almost!” Guo Zening lowered his head: “Later, the child’s parents came over, beat me up, and pushed me down. That’s when my arm was injured.”

Looking closely, there were indeed signs on this guy's face and body that looked like he had been beaten.

"Actually, there is a better way to get the kids to leave." Wu Rui next to her also tried to hold back her laughter.

"But I didn't have time to think about anything else at that time. I was so anxious. You know if the challenge failed, all my [Memory] would be lost in vain." Guo Zening tried to argue, but it was obvious that this incident made him lose face.

Luo Xi had a simple meal.

At the same time, Ke Lan began to explain the challenge they would take on next.

"The scene of grabbing seats is just child's play. It's not challenging. Of course, the rewards are also mediocre. Experts would not bother to go there. The real challenge is the First Hospital." At this time, Ke Lan looked at the building of the First Hospital across the street.

The hospital is very grand and covers a large area. It has an outpatient building and an inpatient building. It is brightly lit and full of people.

"As far as I know, there are many types of [cards] produced in the First Hospital, and many of them are useful. For example, [Healing] is a must-have for masters. If you don't have [Healing], then challenging more difficult levels is simply a pipe dream."

"The scene of the First Hospital will be opened at 7:30 pm. We still have more than ten minutes to prepare. When we go in, there will be special people there to identify the people who have regained their memories. All the people who have regained their memories who enter the First Hospital will be guided to a special entrance, called the Recalling Clinic. The entrance to the level scene is inside the Recalling Clinic."

Ke Lan finished the mutton skewers in his hand and took a sip of fruit beer.

"From the moment you enter the scene, danger ensues. I went there once, and how should I put it? The doctor immediately diagnosed me with a serious illness and forcibly took me to have surgery. They didn't give me anesthesia, and then they took out all my internal organs. It hurt like hell."

Ke Lan looked pale.

Besides gnashing of teeth, there is more fear.

I guess he has some psychological trauma.

"So the first thing we need to solve is how to deal with the diagnosis of those evil doctors. Basically, if they say you are sick, then you are sick, and immediately two big men will come to take you for surgery. The first thing we need to solve is this first level."

Ke Lan looked at Luo Xi.

The latter ate the skewers without saying a word.

Ke Lan had no choice but to continue, "But I have already thought of a way to crack it. Last time I went alone, so I couldn't resist them. But this time, there are five of us in total. I guess it will be difficult for them to attack. Even if they do, we have the power to resist. And I am sure that in this situation, they will not act rashly, because if it is just a confrontation and fight, the First Hospital will not become a level scene, because it is obviously unfair."

"Is it so dangerous?" Guo Zening asked with a frightened look on his face.

Brother Mao seemed to be hesitant to speak, probably wanting to ask this too. Wu Rui didn't care. She looked at Luo Xi and handed him a skewer of grilled tofu.

"Ke Lan, based on your observation, who are those doctors and nurses? Ordinary people in the scene? Employees? Or other people who have recalled their past?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"It's definitely not someone from Shiyi, but it's definitely not an ordinary person either. I think it should be an employee, or a role similar to an NPC in the scene." Ke Lan answered seriously.

"Then your speculation should be correct. If a single person enters the scene, he can be easily subdued because he cannot prove himself. However, multiple people may not be safe either. By the way, did you make any preparations the last time you went there?"

"Preparation? What preparation? I prepared weapons, but I didn't use them."

"The case, I mean."

"Case?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, but soon, as if he had thought of something, he reacted.

He slapped his thigh and said, "Fuck, why didn't I think of that? Damn it, wait a moment."

After saying that, he jumped up and ran to a roadside clinic nearby.

Just after Luo Xi had eaten and drunk his fill, Ke Lan ran back, sweating profusely.

He was holding a stack of medical records in his hand.

"Let's go, time is almost up. If we can get in earlier, we may be able to gain an advantage. But I heard that if we enter later, the danger will increase." Ke Lan wiped the sweat off his forehead.

As for the medical records in his hand, Luo Xi knew what they were used for.

Because Ke Lan said it very clearly just now, after entering the outpatient clinic of the First Hospital, you must accept the doctor's diagnosis, and the diagnosis result is entirely determined by that doctor. The doctor said that you are terminally ill and need surgery immediately.

Then he would have no choice but to be taken for surgery, just like what happened to Ke Lan last time.

This guy was so frightened and terrified that one can imagine how unreasonable and terrifying the scene in the First Hospital was.

But if there are cases before you go, then it will be easy.

By not requiring your doctor's diagnosis, wouldn't this bypass the danger of the first link?

Just now, it was Luo Xi who reminded Ke Lan, and the latter finally reacted.

"Luo Xi, it seems like it was a good move for me to bring you here. To be honest, using other cases to replace the diagnosis process of the First Hospital is indeed a good idea. I should have thought of it, but sometimes it is difficult to stay calm. But I found that you seem to be able to remain calm at any time. I shamelessly ask, how do you do it?"

At this time, Ke Lan asked seriously.

Luo Xi's response was just four words: "Nothing else, just practice more!"

"Practice more? How the hell do I practice this? Do you have nothing to do, so you keep running to the First Hospital? The last time I was cut open, it took me several cycles of rest to recover." Ke Lan also knew that everyone has their own path.

Luo Xi's method is only suitable for Luo Xi, but may not be applicable to Ke Lan.

Similarly, Luo Xi was also unable to handle some of Ke Lan's methods.

As the saying goes, fish have waterways and birds have flight paths.

Compared to Ke Lan, who looked thoughtful and heavy-hearted, the other three, Wu Rui, Mao Ge and Guo Zening, were much more relaxed.

In a team, how to conquer a scene can be handed over to the captain, or the brain of the team, and they are the "limbs" of the team, and they only need to perform their duties according to the arrangements of the brain.

When you walk in from the gate, the outpatient hall is in front of you. However, there are several security guards standing there with blank expressions. Each of them wears glasses, which really fits the saying "college students work as security guards after graduation."

Just looking at their appearance, they really look like college students.

These security guards' eyes quickly swept through the crowd. For normal people, they would just glance at them and not look at them again. But if it was someone who had restored his memory, they would be noticed immediately by these security guards, and then they would be asked to go through another passage with a friendly face.

That is, the 'trial field' that the Recollection Man has to go to.

These security guards are all "employees", Luo Xi has figured it out. Basically, there are employees in any larger level scene, such as Lao Wang's "A Day in the Life of a Worker". Because it is an initial scene and the mechanism is very simple, he can manage it alone.

This also indicates that, in addition to the initial scene, other large-scale scenes during the days of confinement may be more dangerous than the other.

After all, from the perspective of the 'company' that manages these levels and scenes, how to quickly and effectively kill the Memory Collector is the source of their assessment and performance.

Why would the company set up checkpoints? They could even easily identify the Memory Collector. Wouldn't it be more efficient to just kill them? Unless there were rules for the day of confinement.

This rule defines principles similar to "fairness and justice", which is why they cannot kill indiscriminately.

As expected, Luo Xi and the other four were politely invited out by the security guards and led into a special passage.

It seemed like there was a temporary safety passage under construction, surrounded by safety nets on all sides, and no one knew where it led to.

Besides the five of them, there were other memory restorers, and Luo Xi was sure that this was the most memory restorers he had ever encountered in the same level scene.

There are people in front and behind.

At least, there are a dozen.

In addition to them, there are also those who may come to recall the past.

My goodness, how many people who recall memories can participate in this level scene at the same time?
"The First Hospital is very famous because its attributes are Chaos 4 and Yin-Yang 3. Do you know Chaos 4? It is the most chaotic and disordered place. Because it is very difficult and it is a large scene, so in order to balance it, many 'reward points' will naturally be set up in the scene. The [Healing] card can only be regarded as one of the rewards in this scene. There are many similar valuable [cards]. These memory collectors are here to obtain functional cards."

"But the benefits here are huge. As long as I can get some valuable function cards, it's worth it even if I die in there. Also, the ticket to enter the First Hospital is not cheap. It costs this much."

At this time, Ke Lan stretched out his finger and made a "two" gesture.

Two [memories]?
That's not cheap indeed.

"Starting from two cards, sometimes you may have to pay more." Ke Lan said.

You have to know that this is just a ticket. There is no guarantee that you will gain any benefits in the scene. The greater probability is that you will gain nothing and die in a very terrible way.

But in other words, the price of two [Memory] cards can also stop many pure memory-collecting novices.

As for those who have completed the game three times but still haven't obtained the card ring, coming here is simply seeking death.

Those who can come at least get the card ring.

There are even experts who have found the formula for professional cards and completed the card assembly.

And the masters who can obtain professional card sets are definitely at the top of the pyramid among the Shiyi people.

In fact, in addition to the dangers and challenges inherent in the level scene itself, the threat from the Memory Collectors naturally comes from their peers, other Memory Collectors. Sometimes, the threat from other Memory Collectors may even be greater than the danger of the scene itself.

Some of the people who are trying to recall their past are not here to conquer the scene at all. Their purpose is simple: to rob.

Because in large scenes, there are a lot of people who come to Shiyi, and they are not comparable to the poor people outside.

The temporary passage built by the safety net came to an end, and there was a building in front. The strange thing was that this place should be not far from the outpatient building outside, but that kind of noise could no longer be heard.

It's eerily quiet here.

Occasionally, screams could be heard coming from nowhere.

It seems to be shouting 'I'm not sick'.

Luo Xi and his friends arrived at a very old hall with a sign saying, 'Shiyi Ren Clinic'.

We've arrived.

"I thought we were early, but I didn't expect there were people who arrived earlier than us." Ke Lan frowned and muttered.

There are already quite a few people in the outpatient hall.

There were about ten people, in groups of three or five, and it was obvious from the looks of them that they were not easy to mess with.

However, there are also some who appear to be kind on the surface. When you glance over, they will smile, nod and say hello.

"Get a number first!" Ke Lan had been here before and knew the procedure, so she ran to the registration counter to pay.

In fact, it is to pay [Memory].

Luo Xi leaned over to take a look, and was surprised to find that the nurse at the registration counter had no face.

His face was bald and had ears, which looked very strange.

And every nurse has six fingers on one hand.

This looks extremely disgusting.

Anyway, Wu Rui and the others immediately showed signs of discomfort, but Luo Xi felt nothing as usual. He was just curious. With six fingers on one hand and twelve on both hands, would he be able to type faster?
The problem is, they have no faces and no eyes. Are they typing blindly?
"Who is the patient?" At this time, the faceless nurse inside asked, her voice was quite nice.

"Me, and him!" At this time, Luo Xi grabbed Ke Lan and said, while pointing at Guo Zening.

Both of them were injured, so it was natural for them to go see a doctor.

Luo Xi had just guessed that preparing in advance and fabricating cases were just a way to deal with the doctors' diagnosis here. In fact, there was another possibility. The reason why Ke Lan was diagnosed with immediate surgery last time was perhaps because he had no injuries or illnesses.

Luo Xi had asked about this before, and Ke Lan confirmed this.

So this time, Luo Xi planned to take a two-pronged approach. If he and Guo Zening were really injured, then how would the doctors here diagnose and treat them?

"Two patients?" the faceless nurse asked again.

"Yes, two patients." Luo Xi nodded.

"I understand. According to hospital regulations, a patient can only be accompanied by two family members at most. However, the family members also have to pay. After all, the hospital also needs to make money," muttered the faceless nurse.

Ke Lan was stunned.

He was very surprised because he had been here once before and didn't know that there was such a provision as "family members" accompanying the guests.

"Wait a minute, the family members don't need medical treatment, right?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask.

The faceless nurse actually laughed so hard that her body shook. "What do you want to see the family? But if you really want to see a doctor, that's not impossible."

"No need for that, no need for that. I'm just asking." Ke Lan was overjoyed.

Obviously, Luo Xi discovered a new setting.

Memory collectors can be divided into two roles: 'patients' and 'family members'.

What is certain is that the positioning of these two roles is different, but based on his last experience, in this ghost place, being a family member is definitely safer than being a patient.

Moreover, the settings of these two identities must be known to those who often come here, but this news has not been leaked.

Apparently, this has become an unspoken rule for those who often come here to reminisce.

Everyone already knows it tacitly.

"After paying the fee, go find a doctor. If there is no designated or familiar doctor, we will assign one randomly. You two, uh, both have external injuries, so go to the surgery department and find 'Dr. Wang.'" The faceless nurse handed over the receipt.

Logically speaking, Shi Yi should have left at this time. After all, who the hell would want to face such a terrifying faceless nurse? If you see her too much, you will have nightmares.

But Luo Xi is one of the very few special people.

He did not leave. Instead, he looked at the faceless nurse who was serving him with a smile and asked, "How is Doctor Wang's medical skills? What is his title?"

"Don't worry, deputy chief physician. His medical skills are very high and all the patients he has treated say that he is a good doctor!" The faceless nurse's voice was still very pleasant.

Luo Xi glanced at the nurse's chest.

There's a work badge over there.

"Zhao Xiaojuan!" Luo Xi said.

"What's wrong?" The faceless nurse's voice sounded a little unhappy.

"It's okay, I just want to ask if you have a boyfriend." Luo Xi said casually. At this moment, he looked like a rogue who was deliberately trying to take advantage of a good family.
