Chapter 132: Sweet Date in the Blood Drawing Room
Chapter 132: Sweet Date in the Blood Drawing Room
"That is to say, Yuan Meili's father's search for his daughter is a plot mechanism. According to their setting, the other party will ask the person in charge of the specific horror plot for leave. You used this mechanism to lock on the Face-Facing Wall-Ghost? This is absolutely amazing. As long as you can find clues, it's a sure thing."
Wu Rui also came to her senses at this time, and she said excitedly.
Luo Xi shook his head: "Nothing is certain during the imprisonment. Both you and I are taking risks. There is a possibility of failure at every step. For example, the responsible one among the seven wall-facing ghosts may not have the guts, or Yuan Meili's father may not need to ask for leave. In short, we must always have a backup plan."
But no matter what, they made a profit this time.
Every time the First Hospital level scene is opened, only one [Lucky Star] card will be issued, because once someone finds a shameless wall-facing ghost, this area will be closed and no one can enter.
Wu Rui was naturally very excited about this, even though she didn't get the card. Instead, Luo Xi next to her, although he got the [Lucky Star], had a very serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.
The two of them were now heading up to the third floor to have their blood drawn for testing.
According to Luo Xi, the process of seeing a doctor in the hospital must be completed, which may be the key to passing the level.
At least it's worth a try.
The other people who have recovered their memories tried to avoid the dangers of the first level, and then began to look for ways to find and overcome the terrifying plots that could obtain cards in the hospital, and they never got tired of it. As for the subsequent tests and treatments, no one would be interested unless they were related to the [cards].
Especially after a long time, which location and which plot are related to the cards are no longer secrets, so as long as they are not related to the cards, no one will do the serious treatment tests specifically.
The blood drawing room is a place without [cards].
In fact, in the hospital, blood drawing is a necessary item for many examinations. It should be very lively, but when Luo Xi and Wu Rui arrived at the place, they found that there were almost no Shiyi people here, only a few eerie and faceless nurses.
Coupled with the dim lighting and the blood collection window where you can't see what's inside, there is no benefit and no one would come to such a scary place.
"Luo Xi, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something troublesome?" Wu Rui saw that Luo Xi had a frown on his face all the time, and finally couldn't help asking.
In addition to being curious, she was also very worried. If there really was any trouble and Luo Xi couldn't solve it alone, they would be able to help.
Luo Xi glanced at her and said, "I just realized one thing. We shouldn't have obtained the Lucky Star so early."
"Why?" Wu Rui was stunned. She analyzed, "Actually, it's not too early. You just saw that there are already several Shiyi people guarding there, and some people have tried. If people keep making mistakes, as more and more faceless wall-facing ghosts are eliminated, it is almost certain that [Lucky Star] will be taken away."
Luo Xi shook his head: "Among the seven wall-facing ghosts, one is Yuan Meili's father, and is related to the plot of the women's restroom on the fourth floor of the level scene. So, what about the other six? Are they also related to some other plots in the level scene? If so, then that area was closed because of the taking of the [Lucky Star], which is equivalent to closing the clues of the other six fearful plots."
Wu Rui suddenly realized.
And the more I think about it, the more I feel that Luo Xi's analysis makes sense.
Because Luo Xi said from the beginning that the level scene is a whole, and many of the plots and elements here are interconnected, either explicitly or implicitly. As the saying goes, follow the vine to find the melon, the seven wall-facing ghosts are the vine, but now, when they only caught one vine, they closed the scene, which is equivalent to giving up other clues.
But it's too late to realize this now.
"It doesn't matter. If you view the various horror plots in the level scenes as nodes, and the different nodes are related to each other, then this is a network, not a line. If it is a line, if the node is broken, the whole line will be broken, but if it is a network, it won't be broken."
Luo Xi's brows relaxed at this time.
He was going to draw blood. In addition, according to the five danger predictions on the [Danger Prediction] card, the fourth danger prediction was: Do not go to the blood draw window No. 4, unless you want to die.
This is clearly a dangerous spot.
However, among the six horror scenarios of obtaining cards that Liang Qu mentioned, none of them had anything to do with the blood-drawing room.
So there is actually a need for exploration here.
Luo Xi took a quick glance and saw the numbers on the blood collection window, No. 1, No. 2, all the way to No. 5.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a reminder board on the table of blood collection window No. 4, which says: Please go to the nearby blood collection window to draw blood.
Blood collection window No. 4 was not opened at all.
Eight-thirty.
In the lobby on the first floor, outside the registration window, Ke Lan was waiting anxiously.
He couldn't help but take out a cigarette, but before he could light it, he was warned by an extremely terrifying ghost in a security uniform. The other party even wanted to take him to the security room. If Zhao Xiaojuan hadn't come to rescue him, Ke Lan would have been taken away by the security guard with strange tentacles on his face.
"Smoking is not allowed in the hospital. Didn't you see the sign next to it saying no smoking?" Zhao Xiaojuan said at this time: "Luckily, Xiao Lu and I are familiar with each other, otherwise, you would be in trouble."
Xiao Lu should be the security guard with weird tentacles all over his face.
Ke Lan glanced at Zhao Xiaojuan and thought to herself, Sister, I don't think dating you is much safer than going to the security room.
Luo Xi, you damn guy, just wait for me!
"Let's go to the cafeteria and use my card." Zhao Xiaojuan pulled Ke Lan and then naturally put her arm around his.
Ke Lan's whole body was tense.
Feeling the woman with a great figure next to him, feeling her arms, her body leaning towards him, it is no exaggeration to say that Ke Lan's mind went blank at this moment.
He didn't even know how he got to the hospital cafeteria.
It seemed like I walked through a corridor, and there were medical staff all around me, and then I didn't see a single person.
That’s right, it says ‘Staff Canteen’ in front and it is only for hospital staff to use.
The canteen is spacious, but the lighting is dim and you can't see far away. You can only see the tables stretching out. The place is not small, but there are few people. There are also few medical staff eating. There is a window in front for serving food, with signs for stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns, noodles, fruits, etc.
"What are you eating?" Ke Lan was observing when he heard Zhao Xiaojuan beside him ask him.
"Uh, whatever!" This isn't a restaurant where you can order food, and besides, Ke Lan isn't really here to eat.
He knew why Luo Xi asked him to go on a date with Zhao Xiaojuan.
That is to use this faceless nurse as a breakthrough point to see if we can find out some hidden clues and secrets in the First Hospital level scene, even if it is just to extract some information from Zhao Xiaojuan.
He had been thinking about how to start the topic for a while.
Although he had already greeted Luo Xi's eight generations of ancestors several times in his heart, Ke Lan also knew that it was inevitable that Luo Xi would hand over such an important task to him.
Among that group of people, who can compare to me?
Luo Xi is smarter than me, but is he as handsome as me?
Luo Xi would like to come on a date, but would nurse Zhao Xiaojuan be interested in him?
Apart from Luo Xi, he is definitely in the top tier in the team of seven in terms of appearance, intelligence, fighting ability and adaptability. So, although this job is very challenging, only he, Ke Lan, can do it.
Neither can anyone else.
Thinking of this, I didn’t seem so angry anymore, but I was still afraid.
Zhao Xiaojuan twisted her graceful body to get food. Ke Lan focused his mind and began to observe carefully.
"As a large-scale level scene, why does the First Hospital have a cafeteria that the Memory Retrievers cannot enter under normal circumstances?" Ke Lan now thought of a question.
And after he calmed down, similar questions began to burst out like a blowout.
"In addition, Luo Xi also said that all the levels and scenes in the Day of Imprisonment were designed by humans. This is like a game designer who will plan the functions of different scenes during the planning stage. In other words, if a scene is useless, it will definitely not be inserted by the designer, that is, the administrator. So according to this premise, the staff canteen must have its uses."
Ke Lan felt that his brain was beginning to regain its original thinking ability.
After all, people are already sitting here, what's the use of being afraid and scared?
It’s better to calm down and explore the clues.
Luo Xi said that if they wanted to get through the First Hospital, then he would definitely be able to help, and he would be the most crucial helper.
At this moment, Ke Lan heard two doctors talking across two tables.
These two doctors also have no faces.
Moreover, their hands were deformed. One doctor's hand was like the forelimbs of a mantis, like a curved blade; the other one was even more exaggerated. One hand was swollen like a huge carrot, and the fingers could not be seen at all. They might have been completely fused together.
The most terrifying thing was not the fleshy radish that was fused together with fingers, but the fact that the thick fleshy radish looked like an insect nest with many holes on it. In each hole, strange insects were crawling in and out. If someone with trypophobia or entomophobia didn't faint on the spot after seeing this, he would be considered very brave.
When Ke Lan saw it, she took a deep breath.
"What kind of monster is this?"
As a veteran, Ke Lan has experienced more than a dozen days of looping, and has participated in many levels and scenes, many of which he has completed. But what he saw at this moment was something he had never seen before.
In the First Hospital, it seems that no medical staff is normal.
There is no weirdest, only weirder.
But soon Ke Lan was attracted by the content of the conversation between the two doctors.
"If you are short of care workers, then go and recruit them. There are so many unemployed people now, are you still worried that you won't be able to recruit people?"
"Oh, that's easy to say. The work in Ward 2 is not that easy."
When Ke Lan heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.
Look, the crucial information is here immediately.
Recruiting ~ Second Ward ~
These are all keywords, write them down.
"I know the work in Ward 2 is not easy. To be honest, if I didn't have patients there, I wouldn't want to go there. It's scary." said the doctor whose meat radish looked like a worm's nest.
Ke Lan wanted to laugh.
You're already in this state, is there anything that can scare you?
Hey?
No, if there was, wouldn’t that mean that Ward 2 would be even more terrifying?
This is Ward 1, and it is so bizarre and dangerous. Then Ward 2 must be even more terrifying and dangerous.
"Anyway, if you know someone who wants to make money, you can find me and I can arrange for them to join you directly."
"Then let me ask you."
"it is good."
At this time, Ke Lan heard the sound of footsteps. She looked up and saw Zhao Xiaojuan coming over with a tray of food.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Her voice was really gentle.
If it weren't in this environment, if I didn't look at her face, perhaps this really would have been a sweet date.
"No." Ke Lan also said with a smile, but soon he could no longer laugh because he saw the food that Zhao Xiaojuan brought back.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment, Ke Lan's first reaction was to jump up and run away.
On the metal plate, there was a dish of fried fingers and eyeballs, a scalp with standing hair wrapped in unknown stuffing and deep-fried, and a steamed foot with a tattoo that said XX I love you forever.
vomit~
Ke Lan felt like vomiting.
"What's wrong with you? Are the dishes not to your taste?" Zhao Xiaojuan immediately stepped forward and asked when she saw Ke Lan's reaction.
"No!" Ke Lan didn't dare to say that it didn't suit his taste. He understood this point. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "That's right, I want to eat vegetarian food recently."
Obviously this is bullshit.
Because before coming to the First Hospital, he ate several skewers of grilled kidneys at the food stall across the street, and his mouth was full of oil.
"Oh, I thought you wanted to eat meat. If you want to eat vegetarian food, please wait a moment." Zhao Xiaojuan was still very gentle. She didn't complain or say why a grown man like you was so troublesome. She stood up and walked towards the food window again.
It seems that he is communicating with the master chef over there.
Ke Lan pushed the plate on the table aside.
You can't look at this thing. It makes my stomach churn.
It's so scary.
The food in the cafeteria was actually all cooked with human tissue. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he looked carefully and saw that there were a few faceless nurses having a meal together, eating braised human heads.
Moreover, Ke Lan discovered something terrible.
The faceless nurse has no facial features, including a mouth.
But when they eat, some of them will actually open a vertical mouth on their face, with tiny fangs that make people dizzy, and tongues that can stick out more than a foot long. Some of them twist their necks 180 degrees, then lift the hair on the back of their heads to reveal a bloody mouth.
He just happened to see this scene: a faceless nurse was holding a human head and gnawing on it, then she rolled out the eyeball with her tongue, swallowed it into her mouth and bit it until it burst!
Ugh~~
I can't bear it anymore.
Ke Lan felt that the scene was too exciting.
"Wait, wait~" Ke Lan suddenly realized: "Why would there be such horrible dishes in the First Hospital's staff cafeteria?"
Taking a deep breath, Ke Lan forced himself to recover from the fear and discomfort. At this moment, the words that Luo Xi had said to him kept echoing in his mind.
The level scenes in Forbidden Days are all artificially designed, especially the good level scenes, and perhaps any setting in them is not useless.
Perhaps even a tiny scratch on the wall may hide some information that can be deciphered.
"Although the conditions for entering this staff cafeteria are very harsh, it is not completely impossible for people with memories to enter here. I came in, right? So all the settings here also have specific meanings."
"One of the purposes of the cafeteria dishes that make people feel extremely uncomfortable is definitely to make the people who have restored their memories feel scared. But it must not be that simple, because the people who have restored their memories who can reach here are already very nervous and scared. So is it necessary to use such terrible dishes to deepen this fear?"
Ke Lan began to think about this matter carefully.
After thinking for a while, Ke Lan glanced at Zhao Xiaojuan's perfect back, then looked down at the dishes on the table.
He reached out and touched the metal plate.
The next moment, Ke Lan's eyes lit up.
"So that's what happened!"
Zhao Xiaojuan came over with another plate of food, and was stunned when she got closer.
"Where's the food?" she asked.
On the table, the dishes she had ordered earlier were gone. Not only the dishes, but even the plates were gone.
"I ate it." Ke Lan lied.
"Don't you eat meat?" Zhao Xiaojuan put down the plate in her hand. There were indeed some vegetables on it, including corn and sweet potatoes.
"I was a little hungry just now. It's okay to have a meal occasionally. After all, you made it for me yourself." Ke Lan is not incapable of sweet talk, but she was a little nervous before.
But the discovery he just made made him very excited, and his original tension was also relaxed a lot.
I don’t even know if it’s because I’m used to it, but why do I feel that this faceless nurse Zhao Xiaojuan is quite pleasing to the eye?
"Am I going crazy?"
Ke Lan muttered to himself.
When Zhao Xiaojuan heard what Ke Lan said, a blush appeared on her featureless face.
This scene makes people's scalps tingle.
"Are you full?" Zhao Xiaojuan asked.
"I'm full!" Ke Lan reached out and touched the vegetarian dish on the table, looking a little disappointed. Then he said, "You haven't eaten yet, so eat it."
As soon as he said this, Ke Lan felt a little regretful.
He just saw how the faceless nurse ate, and the scene was simply scary.
Why are you bringing up things that are not related to the topic?
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaojuan didn't think much about it. She stretched out her slender fingers and picked up a sweet potato. Then, her palm cracked open, revealing a mouth, and she bit off a piece in one bite.
Then he picked up the corn, placed it in his palm, and chewed it with a crunching sound. It tasted quite delicious.
It was only then that Ke Lan discovered that it seemed that every faceless medical staff member actually had a mouth. Some were on their necks, and some were where the noses were originally, and at different angles.
And Zhao Xiaojuan's mouth is on the palm of her hand.
Watching Miss Zhao eating, Ke Lan suddenly had a guess.
"Could it be that these faceless monsters don't really have no facial features, but their facial features grow somewhere else?"
