Chapter 628: The Imaginative Players
"Ah!!!" After nightfall, screams began to come from different directions throughout the hospital—the upper floors of Building One, the laboratory of Building Two. Sometimes the screams were so distorted that players couldn't even distinguish between male and female voices, and they involuntarily projected someone's voice into their minds, sending chills down their spines in the dead of night.
Moreover, the situation inside the hospital had become even worse than the day before. Black spots had grown on the corridor floors, and a strange, pungent odor drifted everywhere, keeping even the players who had planned to sneak out and steal samples at night from daring to leave their rooms.
With the environment deteriorating, players were forced to cooperate. Gu Yu, Zheng Liang, and their group gathered together with some other Black Players to discuss countermeasures.
They had attempted the first task during the day, but not a single player had cleared it. Instead, the players who had undergone psychological therapy all developed some kind of problem.
"I paid special attention to that Scar-Armed guy," said a Short-Haired Black Player. "He didn't come back out after his treatment during the day. During the hospital disinfection just now, I saw two Security Guards carrying a body bag out of that treatment room. Word is he was scared to death."
"Scared to death?" This was salt in the wound for the already beleaguered players. "What the hell could scare someone to death? There weren't any random ghosts or monsters running around the hospital during the day!"
"I don't know the specifics," the Short-Haired Black Player said. "But I've figured one thing out—this hospital is definitely experimenting on patients. Scar-Arms probably died because of that."
"I counted heads. Aside from the ones taken to the seventh floor, there are fewer than forty left from the third to the sixth floor. Some went missing last night," Gu Yu said. "I'm afraid even more will disappear tonight."
"And there are new patients coming into the hospital," Wen Xuelin added. "But they were sent straight to Building Three for quarantine."
