: Cursed Hospital (3)
A bad feeling would often become reality…
As Feng Bujue went towards the wall with anticipation and saw the plastic map that was pasted on the wall, the first ‘horrible puzzle’ made its official appearance. So this ‘map’ on the board was not arranged in an orderly manner. Other than the topic on the top side that said, “Xue Song Jun Public Hospital 2F Schematic Plan”, the other content were jumbled up together. The corners of the pictures did not match and the words made no sense… it looked like a jumbled up jigsaw puzzle.
“Oh… so this is a test of the player’s memory and logical skill…” Feng Bujue mumbled as he studied the chaotic picture. “But puzzle is just my forte…” He said as he steadied himself with his left hand on his right elbow and his right hand holding his chin. With fire in his eye, he started to rearranged the puzzle in his mind. Without knowing it, 5 minutes had passed…
Feng Bujue was standing in the same position and he groused, “hmm… this is more complicated than I thought…” After some observation, he realized the ‘puzzle pieces’ of the map were all in irregular shapes. There were about 20 plus such puzzle pieces mixed together and arranged in wrong places to make up this ‘map’. This was much more difficult than a normal jigsaw puzzle. The human brain would go through a lot just to memorize so many graphics and on top of that, to have to rearranged him mentally, that was even harder.
“Looks like I’ll be here for some time…” Brother Jue said.
Bang bang…
At that moment, a different change arrived. A powerful footsteps came from behind him and it was slowly approaching.
“Hmm? Is it that bandaged dude again…” Feng Bujue grumbled under his breath and slowly turned around. At the same he reached towards his pocket to grab his sunglasses. But this time he saw something else…
A large and imposing figure was slowly moving towards him. The monster had a bulb of meat as a head and he was almost 3 metres tall. His head was brushing the ceiling and his wiry muscle was practically bursting out of his clothes…
“What the…” When Feng Bujue saw that monster, he was shocked.
…
“Leicester, you bastard!” The monster’s meatball of a head tore open a gap to reveal a mouth. Two rows of sharp teeth grew inside them. He roared with this ‘mouth’, “I am going to kill you!”
“Hmm…” Feng Bujue put on the sunglasses and looked at the man before removing it again because he realized the man looked the same with or without the sunglasses. “Why is he coming after me like this? I don’t remember doing anything…” The man was not moving fast and he was still far away so Feng Bujue was not in a hurry to run, “Oh… I get it now.” Something dawned on him. “I’ve stayed at a place for too long, is it?” There was some basis behind this analysis because the main quest was, “Stay at your guard post and survive until morning,” so theoretically speaking… as long as the players did not leave the hospital and did not die, they could do anything they wished. Even though Feng Bujue found a deserted corner and did not do any exploration, he would not be seen as afk-ing. So the game had to push him to move in some other way.
“Hint: If you stay too long on the corridor, the angry care worker, Chad will appear. The powerful Chad can easily tear you into pieces so you need to run as fast as you can away from him. You can enter any room to escape from Chad. Chad will patrol outside the door for a minute before leaving.” The system’s perfectly timed announcement confirmed his suspicion.
“That is strange… The puzzle of the scheme before me is not something that can be solved in a short period of time…” Feng Bujue contemplated as he turned around to walk down the left side of the junction. “Am I supposed to find an item like a one-time use camera, take a picture of this map and then tear them into pieces and really treat it as a jigsaw?”
Feng Bujue had a slight OCD, especially to tell him to give up a half-solved puzzle, he would feel so uncomfortable… but with a lethal monster on his feet, he had no other choice anyway.
“Hey! Chad!” While Feng Bujue escaped for his life, he did not forget to turn around to chat with the care worker who was moving quite slowly. “Why do you hate me so much? What have I done to you?”
“You slept with my little sister!” Chad yelled.
“Okay… That was a convincing and irrefutable reason…” Feng Bujue groused his complaint before turning around to shout. “I believe there has to be a misunderstanding! Have you considered it was true love?”
As he finished, the meat at the side of Chad’s neck suddenly grew into a mound. Then the blob exploded and a second head pushed out, it was also a blurry meat blob but it was a female voice who said, “Leicester, you bastard, you said you will call me!”
“Hint: You have angered Chad and triggered the vengeful soul of his sister. From this moment on, his power will get an upgrade.” Before the system finished, the ‘double-headed giant’ moved 3 times faster.
This time… Brother Jue could not take his time to stroll anymore. He ran as fast as he could to find the door that was closest to him.
“This death flag came out of nowhere!” Feng Bujue shouted. “Singing Fearless can chase a monster away but trying to negotiate will cause it to become worse?!”
Soon he reached a consultation room. Without thinking about it, he slid to the door and grabbed the doorknob… the result was the classic hint appeared: It is locked.
“What the fuck~” Feng Bujue shouted as he continued to race down the corridor. After a few seconds of delay, Chad was even closer on his heels. This meant that Brother Jue could not stop to check the room one by one, the thing he needed to do instead was to pull the distance away… or else he would be attacked once he slowed down to try open a door.
“I knew I shouldn’t let my guard down…” Feng Bujue thought to him. “If only I have run and kept my mouth shut when he first appeared.”
The recent training in real life came into use at this moment. When Feng Bujue trained his focus, he soon adjusted his breathing, his pacing and posture, soon he deserted his pursuer. However, at that moment, another absurd scene appeared before him. There was a staircase at the end of the corridor but this staircase did not head up or down but was embedded into the right wall and appeared to lead to the side…
“What in the world…” Feng Bujue widened his eyes. Since stopping meant death, he had no choice but to get on the ‘stairs’.
And… he really successfully got onto the steps that extended to the side.
When Brother Jue’s feet landed on the stairs, he felt the gravity pull under him shifted… at that moment, there was a buzz in his mind, and it hit him immediately. “So the map was right all along!”
