Bloody Hospital (7): Forgetting

“I also paid attention to the corridor. All traces of our fight yesterday have disappeared.” Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t help but sigh, “It really is worthy of being the supernatural world of the Silver Page Area.” The difficulty was much higher than that of the Bamboo Silk Area.

“Maybe it’s an illusion?”

Xia Ruize guessed. He had played with illusions to such an extreme that when faced with such an incomprehensible situation, the first thing he thought of was the illusion.

What if they actually never left the hospital bed from beginning to end last night, and what they saw and experienced were actually illusions?

“No, it’s not an illusion. The harvest is not fake.”

Xia Ruize immediately denied his own guess. In his system space, there were three pieces of White phantom fragments, one piece of Blood phantom fragment and a yellow low-grade special medicine, all of which were opened from the treasure chests of white phantom and blood phantom who were killed last night.

To put it simply, an illusion is one that confuses reality with falsehood and confuses people’s minds. The attacks encountered after entering an illusion come from the illusion itself, and there are no “living things” that really survive in the illusion.

The fact that phantoms could drop treasure chests meant that they were real.

Among the spoils of war, the introduction of White phantom Fragments and Blood phantom Fragments was that they could be fused into new phantoms, and the introduction of special medicine was that taking it could quickly restore physical strength and energy.

Interestingly, the miracle drug was an ordinary white pill. Its appearance and name remind people of the miracle drug provided by Aardman Hospital to terminally ill patients.

Speaking of spoils of war, Cheng Huaiqian took out a piece of the White phantom fragment he had obtained and gave it to Xia Ruize, saying with a smile:

“I’ll give you all I have. I don’t know how many fragments are needed to fuse them together.”

Gao Hexuan quickly gave Xia Ruize a piece of the White phantom Fragment that he had obtained. He was extremely happy. It had always been the two big guys who took him flying and shared all the rewards with him. Now he could finally contribute a little to the team.

Xia Ruize did not refuse and fought hard for an hour. With his luck, he only got five silver treasure chests, while Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan got one treasure chest each. The treasure chest drop rate was really too low.

It would be better to concentrate the fragments in his hands than to have them scattered among three people. If they could fuse the White phantom, they would be able to understand their opponent better.

Unfortunately, when Xia Ruize put the five pieces of white phantom fragments together, the small pile of glowing white crystals still showed no reaction and showed no signs of merging at all.

“Let’s have a good rest today. We might experience the same thing as last night tonight.”

Xia Ruize looked at the pile of White phantom fragments, thinking that the low drop rate might indicate that there was still a chance to continue collecting fragments in this mission world.

Hearing this, Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan also felt that although they did not feel too uncomfortable physically and mentally, they still felt a little tired. After Xia Ruize finished speaking, Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t help stretching and yawning. He hugged his lover’s waist and lay down on the hospital bed, ready to sleep with his beloved lover.

Anyway, the relationship was exposed, and he didn’t care at all and was not prepared to hide it. He didn’t even go back to his own bed, and insisted on squeezing into a small bed with Xia Ruize.

Xia Ruize found a familiar and comfortable position in his lover’s arms, and the two of them covered themselves with the quilt and closed their eyes to rest.

This scene made Li Hai, who was lying on the bed opposite, stunned. He turned around and saw Gao Hexuan lying down with the quilt covering his face. It was obvious that he was ready to sleep.

Li Hai moved his mouth. He hadn’t spoken a word to his fellow patients since he woke up this morning. They were all about to rest. So who could he share his feelings with?

Don’t the patients think that the special medicine of Aardman Hospital is very effective? Today he felt that the pain in his body had been reduced a little and he was in better spirits.

Just when the bored Li Hai was about to lie down to continue sleeping, a loud noise came from the corridor outside. Not long after, the door of their ward was suddenly pushed open. The four people in the ward all looked towards the door, only to see a tall and strong man standing outside, leaning his head to look inside.

The burly man’s eyes met Cheng Huaiqian’s and Xia Ruize’s, their eyes lit up, and they exchanged a knowing look.

Afterwards, the burly man was escorted back to his ward by the medical staff who had chased him.

But this was enough. From the burly man’s familiar eyes, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian could tell that the other had not lost his memory of last night.

“It seems that people who ‘die’ at night will forget their experiences at night, while those who persist until they fall into a coma will remember them.”

Xia Ruize immediately realized that the appearance of the burly man confirmed this. It seemed that the young woman also remembered what happened last night, but the bald boy had forgotten it because he died at the last moment.

As for ordinary patients like Li Hai, it was very likely that after they left, the phantom broke through the defense set up by the young woman and killed the ordinary patients hiding in the ward, so they forgot about their experiences last night.

“Is it possible that all the patients in the hospital will ‘die’ at night, lose their memories, and be fine during the day?”

Cheng Huaiqian’s guess made Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan feel a chill in their hearts. The very thought of this guess was terrifying.

Was it really okay to die once in the night for no reason?

Considering the three-quarters mortality rate in this hospital, it was probably not that simple.

Soon it was time for the doctors’ rounds. The doctors found that the patient was not very cooperative and were given three cold faces in a row. Fortunately, Li Hai was so excited that he chatted with the doctors enthusiastically, which finally made the doctors regain the familiar feeling.

Before leaving, the doctor warned the people in the ward seriously:

“I will warn you again, do not leave the ward without permission.”

The doctor who was speaking glared at Cheng Huaiqian fiercely and continued to threaten:

“If someone breaks the rules today, they will be deducted one day’s supply of special medicine and given a verbal warning. After three warnings, they can leave our hospital.”

It seemed that the person whose medicine was confiscated was the burly man. If he was really a terminally ill patient, he would definitely be very worried about not being able to get the special medicine. But now, he might even be secretly happy.

Therefore, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were not too worried. They ignored the doctor’s sharp warning and just closed their eyes to rest.

The doctor sneered sarcastically. Many of the patients who had just arrived at Aardman Hospital still retained their arrogant and domineering personalities in the outside world, but the reality would soon make them understand that when their lives were in the hands of others, no one could remain tough.

The doctor left the ward, and then they had a relaxing and enjoyable sleep time with nothing to do until lunch. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian sniffed the familiar scent on each other and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Even the lunch that the nurses put up was quickly dealt with by them and they continued to sleep. Soon it was two o’clock in the afternoon and it was the turn of the patients on the fourth floor to go to the garden for some fresh air.

The burly man and the young woman were standing at the stairs waiting. When they saw Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walking out of the ward, their eyes lit up and they immediately walked over.

“I was in such a hurry yesterday that I didn’t have time to introduce myself. My name is Wang Huan, you guys can just call me Huan Huan.”

The young woman looked at Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian with a smile in her big eyes, smoothed her curly hair with her delicate hands, and introduced herself in a very pleasant voice.

Cheng Huai Qian calmly put his arm around his lover’s waist and moved Xia Ruize a little further away from Wang Huan.

Wang Huan nonchalantly threw a wink at Gao Hexuan who was standing behind the two of them. She had noticed last night that the two handsome guys were a couple. Alas, what a pity! How come such excellent men were all digested internally?

What’s even more regrettable is that Gao Hexuan had a dull expression and followed his two teammates with empty eyes. He didn’t know where the focus of his vision was. He didn’t respond to Wang Huan’s seductive eyes at all, which made people very angry.

“Zhao Tonggang.” The burly man also introduced himself.

At this time, the bald boy came over and glanced at the five people walking together with surprise in his eyes. He couldn’t understand why these five people came together.

Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang also looked at the bald boy in surprise as he ignored them and walked away, with a strange look in his eyes.

“Little brother, he…”

Wang Huan turned to Xia Ruize and asked in confusion.

“We suspect that those who have ‘died’ have lost that memory.”

Xia Ruize did not forget to maintain his weak personality. He leaned against Cheng Huaiqian and answered in a low voice.

Wang Huan nodded suddenly. She and Zhao Tonggang were just a little surprised, but not too surprised by the answer.

In fact, after waking up in the morning and finding that their fellow patients in the same ward had no special reactions, they had a guess, but without anyone to discuss with or more examples to verify, they were not quite sure of their guess.

Zhao Tonggang would rather attract the attention of medical staff and force his way into each ward to look for the people who fought side by side with him last night, just to verify that his memory was true.

The bald boy’s behavior completely confirmed their guess. Even if they were trialers, they would forget everything if they died at night.

Several people walked into the garden together, and Wang Huan couldn’t wait to ask:

“Brother, if tonight is the same as yesterday, what are your plans?”

While speaking, she blinked her big eyes at Xia Ruize, asking him to take her with him.

It was clearly seen from last night’s battle that under the strong restrictions of this mission world, Xia Ruize had exerted the strongest strength, so it was better to cling to him as soon as possible.

Cheng Huaiqian was unhappy. What was wrong with this woman? He obviously had a lover, but why did she always try to get in on the relationship?

Xia Ruize helplessly reached out and patted Cheng Huaiqian’s back to comfort his angry lover, and answered Wang Huan’s question in a cold tone:

“Tonight the two of us are going to go and see it alone.”

The implication was that they were not going to cooperate in any action tonight.

This answer was beyond Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang’s expectations. They both looked a little unhappy, but they did not continue to argue. After confirming that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had no intention of cooperating, they said goodbye and left.

Afterwards, Zhao Tonggang and Wang Huan found the bald boy. They remembered last night’s experience clearly. Such a large number of phantoms could not be solved by one person alone. They still had to unite other forces as much as possible.

The bald boy’s brows were furrowed more and more as Zhao Tonggang and Wang Huan spoke. The two suddenly ran over and said that they had fought side by side last night, but they were “dead” so they didn’t remember anything?

The bald boy thought this statement sounded ridiculous, but Zhao Tonggang and Wang Huan accurately described his weapons and commonly used moves, as if they had really seen it with their own eyes.
