Bloody Hospital (14): Fight to the death

Xia Ruize pointed to the end of the corridor behind the three people, smiled awkwardly and said:

“These are all directed at us. Are you sure you still want to cooperate?”

Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang just turned their heads to look in the direction Xia Ruize pointed, and then were horrified to see a large number of phantoms floating in from the middle staircase and the windows at the end of the corridor, rushing towards them.

Wang Huan pointed with trembling fingers at the countless phantoms in the distance, and then at Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, almost questioning his life, “Then, those… those were all attracted by you?”

“Yes, there is no time to discuss. Please bear with me.”

As Xia Ruize spoke, his eyes glowed with golden light. This time, he did not rush to attack the approaching phantoms, but instead observed them carefully.

This time, he noticed something different.

Among the large number of phantoms, some of them had a faint glow around them, while others looked like translucent, hazy shadows. Among them, the phantoms with glow around them were a minority.

After fighting these things in the bloody world for two nights, Xia Ruize didn’t notice the difference between them. Now, after careful observation as if he was playing a spot-the-differences game, he finally found out the slightest difference.

The difference was very subtle. Without the support of the Eye of Wisdom and careful identification, there was no way to distinguish it.

Xia Ruize grabbed two white phantoms with his hands using telekinesis, and let them attack him, feeling the difference carefully, and then smiled with satisfaction.

The next second, Xia Ruize turned around and rushed to the windowsill in the ward. Cheng Huaiqian had already broken the glass. The three of them jumped down from the windowsill one after another, leaving Wang Huan and the other two who were watching and Li Hai who was awakened stunned on the spot.

“They…ran away?”

Zhao Tonggang muttered to himself, in disbelief. He was still struggling over whether to fight alongside the three men, but they ran away first?

“What are you waiting for, you big fool? Let’s run too!”

Wang Huan watched the phantom getting closer and closer, and reacted very quickly and turned around and rushed into the ward where the bald boy was originally in. The black cat in her arms jumped out in advance and broke the window glass. Wang Huan then jumped out of the window.

Zhao Tonggang’s reaction was not slow either, mainly because the phantom that had already rushed to the front was only concerned with chasing Xia Ruize and the other two and had no time to attack him, giving him time to follow Wang Huan’s footsteps and move away from the center of the battlefield.

The bald boy reacted the slowest. After all, tonight was the first time in his “memory” that he encountered a phantom. He had no experience in dealing with it and was completely at a loss. His first reaction was to rush forward and fight it head-on.

In the end, he saw the other five people all jumped out of the window and left, and there were too many phantoms in front of him, so he had to make the self-aware decision to retreat.

Comparing the ward of Xia Ruize and the other two that were already crowded with phantoms, the bald boy had no choice but to follow Wang Huan and Zhao Tonggang. After all, those two had been trying to get him to cooperate and were more experienced than him.

On the other side, Xia Ruize and the other two rushed straight to the cafeteria after landing. They wanted to know whether there was an elevator leading to the dungeon in this bloody world that was hard to distinguish from reality.

At this time, there were only scattered phantoms with slower reactions in the garden. Xia Ruize ran in the front and carefully identified them. According to his command, some of the phantoms were dispersed by the three people attacking together, but some of the phantoms were ignored by the three people, and even rushed straight through and passed through the phantoms.

The latter did not cause any substantial harm to them except for the visual effect.

The three rushed to the cafeteria, but they couldn’t find the small door to enter the warehouse, and they didn’t find anything where the elevator should be.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other and understood.

After being dragged into the bloody world by Duowei, the environment they saw was all fake. After all, even the phantoms they saw were partially fake.

The fake phantom would mess with their vision, drain their energy and focus, and would not provide them with any treasure chests. Of course, the fake phantoms would not actually harm them.

After figuring it out, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian turned their heads to look at the phantoms that were chasing after them and swarming back to the garden, and smiled meaningfully.

Next, the three did not run anymore. Instead, they leaned against the large wall of the cafeteria and, under Xia Ruize’s command, accurately killed the real phantoms mixed in with the group of phantoms. As for the fake phantoms, the three completely let them crowd around and ignored them.

An endless stream of phantoms rushed up, but did not cause any substantial harm to the three people. Duowei, who controlled the bloody world, became angry.

The price it paid in the afternoon to escape from Xia Ruize’s strange illusion was not small. The energy it had accumulated for a long time was wasted by three hateful humans.

After escaping, it hid in a hiding place specially prepared for it, and stayed there to sleep and recuperate for the entire afternoon.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Duowei couldn’t wait to come out and pulled the three humans into his bloody world.

It was also at this time that it discovered that half of its accumulated food reserves were consumed by three damn humans in just one afternoon. Heartbroken to the point of bleeding, Duowei vowed to torture the three humans and turn them into energy to compensate for his losses!

Unexpectedly, the cunning humans actually saw that some of the phantoms were fake, used to confuse people and put psychological pressure on those who were dragged into the bloody world, and the real phantoms were killed as many as they rushed forward.

Due to the special nature of the bloody world, the phantoms killed in it could completely dissipate. If he continued, his own reserve food would become less and less. The furious Duowei decided to take action himself, and thus, a huge golden phantom appeared in the bloody world, which was much more brilliant and taller than the Duowei on the recliner that Xia Ruize and the other two had seen in the afternoon.

A golden phantom that was more than ten meters high illuminated the entire Aardman Hospital. It was clearly a phantom, but as it approached, the ground shook with its movement.

“Finally I waited for you to come out.” Cheng Huaiqian raised the corner of his mouth. After all, this was Duowei’s world. If Duowei hid, they really couldn’t do anything about it.

Cheng Huaiqian flipped the longsword in his hand, exerted force with his feet, and jumped higher than Duowei. He held the sword with both hands and chopped down at Duowei from top to bottom.

Duowei knew that this guy’s sword was a bit strange. It was obviously a physical attack weapon, but it could hurt him as a spirit, so he prepared to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

At this time, Xia Ruize took out his light arrows, drew his bow and shot arrows. Suddenly, forty arrows with flowing light shot towards Duowei, blocking its way to dodge around.

Duowei didn’t take Xia Ruize’s arrow seriously and moved sideways a long distance to avoid Cheng Huaiqian’s sword. The next second, “bang bang bang” explosions sounded one after another. Duowei was hit by six arrows, and none of them penetrated his body and flew away, but exploded directly inside his body.

After the explosion, only two-thirds of Duowei’s huge body remained.

“Unforgivable!”

Angry sounds came out from between his teeth word by word. Duowei, who was extremely angry, stood still and took a deep breath. Then, the terrifying sonic attack became visible in the air, spreading in a fan shape and sweeping towards Xia Ruize and the other two.

The three of them were knocked away by the sound waves before they could even react. Their heads felt like they were hit by a hammer and they instantly fell unconscious.

He was careless. He didn’t expect this guy to have such a terrifying attack method hidden…

This was the last thought in Xia Ruize’s mind before he fell into a coma.

When Xia Ruize regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and stared blankly at the bright sunlight pouring into the ward from the window. There was a buzzing sound in his head that kept echoing, making it impossible for him to calm down and think. He could only keep his eyes open.

Li Hai, who was in the opposite bed, also woke up and called Xia Ruize:

“Little patient Xia, we are the first group on the fourth floor to go to the garden to rest today. Get up quickly. You can go out soon. Rest time is precious. Alas, little patients Cheng and Gao, why are you still sleeping so soundly?”

Xia Ruize continued to stare blankly at the sunlight outside the window without responding. At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Wang Huan, Zhao Tonggang and the bald boy walked in.

The three of them observed for a while and soon found that Xia Ruize had woken up. They immediately surrounded Xia Ruize’s bed. Wang Huan looked at Xia Ruize with a complicated expression, frowning slightly, with a tender feeling of pity. After a pause, she asked softly:

“Brother Xia, do you want some water?”

Xia Ruize frowned, suppressed the shock in his mind, and asked back, “What happened last night?” His voice was hoarse and dry.

Wang Huan’s expression became even more worried. Alas, the little brother didn’t remember. It seemed that he died last night. Two such powerful little brothers didn’t survive. What should they do? She was worried in her heart, but she still answered seriously:

“We came to the ward to look for you last night, wanting to ask if you were willing to cooperate, but all of a sudden, all those phantoms surrounded you, and you and your teammates were completely surrounded by them in the garden.

There were so many of those evil creatures at the time that they surrounded us in three layers, and we…we didn’t dare to go over.

Then a huge yellow phantom appeared. It looked extremely scary. We didn’t even see clearly what happened before both of you died.

At that time, we were hiding behind the hospital building and watching. We were also affected by the yellow phantom’s attack, but fortunately we didn’t faint completely.

The yellow phantom disappeared after the attack. We saw that the little phantoms were going to attack you, so we gathered your three bodies together, and then protected your bodies while fighting the little phantoms.

Fortunately, you had already cleaned up a lot of little devils before, and the three of us helped each other and persevered to the end.

From waking up to finally falling into coma, the battle last night lasted a total of four hours…”

Xia Ruize listened quietly, and when his mind became clearer and he was able to control his body, he fed himself a yellow low-grade special medicine from the treasure chest.

This was truly a miracle drug. After taking it, he could clearly feel that both his body and mind were recovering rapidly, and his brain was working quickly again.

Although Wang Huan looked more worried as she spoke, Xia Ruize calmed down instead.

He was sure that he was not actually dead last night. At least he remembered everything that happened before he was knocked unconscious by Duowei’s attack. This meant that after he fell unconscious, Wang Huan and the other two did protect his body, so that he was only unconscious but not dead, and he was able to retain key memories of the battle.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruize smiled soothingly at Wang Huan, then stood up and fed each of the other two patients, Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan, who were still unconscious on the other two beds, a pill of special medicine.
