Bloody Hospital (12): Cunning

“According to your human understanding, a small amount of life energy can cure all your diseases and keep you healthy. A little more life energy can delay aging and restore your youth. A large amount of life energy can even extend your life!

Hahaha, for example, our poor little David, according to your human calculations, he should be 78 years old this year.”

Duowei spoke casually, not caring about David’s life or death at all, as if he was a tool that could be discarded at any time.

When Duowei mentioned David’s age, Xia Ruize and the other two looked at David, who was thrown to the ground by Cheng Huaiqian and whose life or death was unknown. Although he had some wrinkles on his face and a Western face that made people face-blind, he looked only about 40 years old. It was hard to imagine that he was actually nearly 80 years old.

Duowei looked at the shock on the faces of the three humans with satisfaction and coaxed:

“You may not understand the preciousness of life energy just by listening to it. Fortunately, you have a generous friend like me. I can let you try the wonderful taste today. I guarantee that you will fall in love with the feeling!”

“Oh, that’s interesting. I want to try it.”

Cheng Huaiqian raised his eyebrows and prepared to try it himself. He calmed down his two teammates in his heart, and on the surface, he looked at the phantom on the recliner with an expression of three parts of doubt, three parts of curiosity, and four parts of indifference, and asked:

“Since the life energy you mentioned is so good, why are you willing to give it to us?”

“Your human world is full of intrigues and deceptions, which I disdain to even touch. Therefore, I need human representatives to help me collect those beautiful souls. In return, I will give you precious life energy.”

“Just like what the Aardman family did? Harvesting the lives of our kind to feed you?” Cheng Huaiqian snorted coldly.

“Why do you say that so harshly? It only takes one dying soul to heal another dying human being. What a good deal!

If the truth is made public, I believe that there are many people in this world who will come to me with a handful of delicious souls, just to enjoy the beauty of life energy being poured into their bodies. “

Duowei retorted.

“What you said makes sense. Let me try out how attractive the rewards we will get from our cooperation are.”

Cheng Huaiqian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, like a serious businessman discussing cooperation:

“If you are satisfied, we can discuss everything. Our capabilities are not comparable to that piece of junk on the ground. We can provide you with the amount that he can only get in a year in one month.”

The phantom on the recliner swayed, and seemed to be more excited. Then a transparent liquid similar to a stream of water flowed from the phantom to Cheng Huaiqian, and the gurgling life energy was transmitted into Cheng Huaiqian’s body.

Cheng Huaiqian narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression relaxed, and he seemed to be enjoying it very much.

Five seconds later, the transparent water flow dissipated, Cheng Huaiqian opened his eyes, and his attitude immediately became more enthusiastic. He greeted Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian repeatedly:

“Not bad, come on, you guys try it too, you’ll feel refreshed.” These words were spoken to Duowei.

In his heart, he said to his teammates:

“I see, this energy is why we are pulled into the bloody world at night.

On the first day we arrived at this mission world, this energy scattered in the air entered our bodies. Because it was too rare and we didn’t feel anything unusual, we didn’t notice it. But in fact, we had been ‘marked’ and were pulled into the bloody world at night.

But there is nothing wrong with this energy itself. It is purer than the life energy extracted from the zombies in the last world. It has been marked anyway, so a little more will not make a difference. We might as well take the opportunity to extract more benefits from this guy.”

There was a smile in Xia Ruize’s eyes. As expected of Boss Cheng, he would not let go of even a single needle or thread of the enemy.

Duowei also understood what Cheng Huaiqian meant, but he was ready to let all three of them taste the sweetness, so he did not refuse. So two streams of transparent water fell on Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan respectively. The two could clearly feel the warm energy flowing into their bodies.

Suddenly, the transparent water flowing towards Xia Ruize became thicker and faster, from the original thickness of a finger to the thickness of an arm, and the flow rate also changed from slow to rapid.

Xia Ruize himself was also surprised, but he knew the reason. It was because the talent skill [Son of Nature] that came with his mature Bright Elf bloodline was activated.

As the darling of nature, the Bright Elves could slowly absorb the free life energy in the natural environment, slowly recover their physical strength and injuries, and when seriously injured, they could actively and quickly extract the free life energy in the surrounding environment to accelerate recovery.

This skill was very inconspicuous. Most of the time, its function was to allow Xia Ruize to fight longer. It had only been activated in the final stage of the wilderness world before. Unexpectedly, it was now activated by the outside world and activated by Duowei’s transmission of life energy.

As soon as the skill was activated, life energy several times greater than before rushed into Xia Ruize’s body and quickly flowed through his body. Xia Ruize sighed comfortably.

Duowei was dumbfounded. He couldn’t understand how Xia Ruize could snatch energy from its body. By the time it reacted and immediately stopped transmitting energy, Xia Ruize had already forcibly taken away an amount far exceeding the planned amount. He was immediately heartbroken.

“Hey! You, you, you! Forget it, as long as you do your job well, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Duowei was so distressed that his whole body shook, and he pointed in the direction of Xia Ruize angrily, but for some reason he had to hold back.

Cheng Huaiqian raised his lips with ill intentions and asked slowly:

“What if we don’t want to help you?”

“Hmph, do you think you can get out of my castle?”

Hearing the sarcasm in Cheng Huaiqian’s tone, Duowei’s anger, which had not yet subsided, was aroused and his voice became cold.

The next second, Cheng Huaiqian thrust the longsword in his hand at Duowei. The long sword pierced Duowei’s body, earning Duowei a cheerful laugh. He said sarcastically, “Don’t waste your energy. Your tricks are useless to me!”

“Really?” Cheng Huaiqian asked back with a smile, and his hand trembled. The long sword in his hand began to emit a dazzling blue light from the hilt, and in the blink of an eye it spread all the way to the tip of the sword.

The blue light on the long sword that penetrated Duowei’s body even began to spread from the sword to its body, causing its body to begin to solidify and become a state similar to light yellow transparent glass.

“ah!!!”

A scream echoed throughout the entire underground space, and the phantoms outside the castle were all affected and thrown into chaos.

“Damn it! You actually hurt me! I want you all to die!”

Realizing that there was something wrong with the longsword in Cheng Huaiqian’s hand, Duowei’s body, which had not yet been frozen by the long sword, suddenly dissipated, and then condensed into a phantom again not far away. There was raging anger in his voice, and then a harsh sound rang in the ears of the three people.

Cheng Huaiqian turned the sword in his hand and handed Duowei’s frozen body part on the sword to Xia Ruize.

Xia Ruize put his hand on it and actively activated the skill of [Son of Nature]. He could clearly feel the life energy flowing into his body.

At the same time, Xia Ruize used his mental power to construct a closed sphere around the three people, completely wrapping them up.

He had secretly tested it last night and found that as long as he used his mental power to completely wrap himself up, he could to a certain extent resist being pulled into the bloody world.

Today was the first time he tried to use his mental strength to resist Duowei’s ability in a battle. He didn’t know if the three of them would still be dragged into the bloody world, considering that Duowei had been weakened during the day and he had made preparations in advance.

The actual situation was that with Xia Ruize’s mental defense ball, the sonic attacks from Duowei’s world that the three heard were not so unbearable, and they were able to attack Duowei’s world with a clear mind.

Especially Xia Ruize’s [Eye of Wisdom], the small golden flame could even ignite Duowei. Although it would be extinguished quickly, it also made Duowei very busy.

Duowei was so angry that the entire Phantom was in a bad mood. If its strength had not been severely weakened during the day, how could it be willing to collude with these three damn humans? Only the greedy and cowardly Aardman family was the easiest tool to control, and these three powerful humans could only become its food. It was simply unwilling to cooperate with such unstable and dangerous elements.

These three damn cunning humans somehow got the entrance to the dungeon from the stupid agent of the Aardman family, and actually came to it in broad daylight, even pretending to accept its invitation, and stole a lot of precious energy from it.

As a result, they would attack it as soon as they had taken away its energy, as if they knew it was only temporarily appeasing them and was going to pull them into its own world at night before attacking and torturing them. It was so damn annoying.

Duowei angrily attacked Xia Ruize and the other two, but found that its attack was not very effective. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had destroyed its bloody world, were actually stronger than they had shown in the previous two nights. Duowei was unable to do anything to them for a while.

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten minutes. Duowei found that he could only be busy resisting, but his attacks had little effect on the three people. He could not force people into the bloody world in the daytime. He realized that continuing the stalemate would be disadvantageous to him, so he could only reluctantly choose to retreat temporarily.

They saw Duowei’s pale yellow figure completely dissipated in the air, never condensed again, and no one knew where it dissipated to.

“It’s a pity that there was no reminder of the kill. That guy is not dead. He has a high IQ and can make a strategic shift.”

Cheng Huaiqian looked at Xia Ruize with a smile, saying it was a pity but his eyes were full of interest.

Xia Ruize also smiled, and the next second, he pointed out the exact place where Duowei was hiding, “Yes, it’s right there.”

Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan immediately attacked the place where Xia Ruize pointed. It was a broken corner. Duowei, who was attacked, showed up again and avoided Gao Hexuan’s attack, but failed to avoid Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s attacks.

After it launched an angry attack, it disappeared into hiding again.

But Xia Ruize was always able to accurately point out where Duowei was hiding, and the attacks of the three of them were like maggots attached to his bones, chasing Duowei all over the castle.

“Why! How on earth did you know where I was?!”

Duowei was extremely depressed. It had never been forced into such a desperate situation before. Even its always-effective art of disappearing and hiding had been cracked.

Xia Ruize smiled and did not answer.

To be honest, this was inspired by Duowei’s attack method. In fact, after entering the elevator, Xia Ruize began to construct a phantom world that was exactly the same as what he saw.

As they were invited into the castle by Duowei, illusions also spread into the castle.

Duowei wanted to stabilize them with words and benefits, and pretended to invite them to cooperate, but the strong malice emanating from it never stopped. The three of them then cooperated with its performance, and also to make it easier for Xia Ruize to wrap Duowei in the illusion at the slowest and least noticeable speed.

What the three people and the phantom saw and heard were exactly the same as before, but they were actually in Xia Ruize’s illusion, an illusion world built on the real world that could be confused with the real world.

As the creator of the illusion, Xia Ruize had absolute control over the situation inside the illusion. Therefore, no matter how clever Duowei’s escape method was, it could not escape the illusion at all, and would naturally be locked in place by Xia Ruize in real time.

After being angry and depressed, Duowei calmed down and felt carefully, and finally found that the space he was in was abnormal. With a ruthless heart, he paid a huge price to break free from the shell, completely escaped from the illusion world, and disappeared in the dungeon.
