Chapter 474: The Infinite Weird City (5000 Monthly Pass)
"If your boss doesn't approve your leave, you will resign directly!"
Han Fei was sincerely doing his best for Lin Lu. Now Shizhi and Boss Gu were fighting over Oriole, and Oriole was in that hospital, so Lin Lu was likely to be implicated.
"What you said makes sense at first glance."
"I know you just applied for the job and it's hard for you to decide to resign, but please believe me once. That hospital is very dangerous. Don't go there again after you get off work. Stay at home." Han Fei slowed down.
In terms of tone, he rarely interacts with more normal women, so he needs to organize his language slowly.
"But... your mother is still in the ward. When I went to ask for leave today, I seemed to hear the doctor discussing your mother's condition."
"What did they say?"
"I feel like there is still hope, but the director and the doctors seem to have received dirty money from Boss Gu. I didn't hear the details clearly. I only know that they seem to be changing the time for inspections of the intensive care unit tonight."
After Lin Lu finished speaking, Han Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was very keenly aware of the problem.
"When will the ward rounds be changed?"
"Generally speaking, the room will be inspected twice in the middle of the night. It used to be once at midnight and once at four in the morning; now it has been changed to only once at two in the morning." Lin Lu told the information he overheard.
Han Fei.
"The ward rounds are done at two o'clock in the morning, and then until dawn, the doctor is not there during this time? What if the patient has an accident?"
"There are still people on duty, but as long as there are no accidents, they should rest in the duty room."
"There must be something fishy about the change in the ward round time. Boss Gu has been in contact with the doctor, and he threatened me with my mother again this morning." Han Fei lowered his voice: "There is obviously hope for my mother to be cured, but the doctor told me that she only has
In the next week, it seems that Boss Gu wants to deal with me around my mother."
When Han Fei saw Boss Gu's bodyguard approaching him, he spoke faster: "Be careful when you are on duty tonight. If you encounter trouble, call me anytime and I will rush over as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Han Fei put away his phone. The expression on his face did not change from beginning to end, but his eyes were a little scary.
Boss Gu left two bodyguards in the store. They would follow Han Fei wherever he went to ensure that Han Fei was in their sight.
"The mother of the owner of the shrine is seriously ill and is still taking medicine. She cannot move and can only stay in the hospital. I can't move her to any other place."
Han Fei walked around the store. He wanted to see the situation in the underground warehouse so that he could make the next decision.
But as soon as he approached the entrance to the underground warehouse, he was stopped by one of the bodyguards.
Generally speaking, he is now restricted to the thrift store and cannot leave the store at will, nor can he enter the underground at will.
"Boss Gu has cleared out the underground warehouse and set up the altar. The next step is to place tributes and prepare to sacrifice to the gods."
The loss of the truth greatly stimulated Boss Gu, and all his plans were forced to advance.
"I smashed a big hole in the shrine, the foundation of the memory world is unstable, and a future that no one has experienced appears."
Han Fei looked out the window, looking through the rain curtain and staring at the city washed away by the heavy rain.
"The sky has darkened, and the nights will become longer and longer."
Sitting behind the counter, Han Fei took out his cell phone and sent a message to Brother Snake's men, asking them to bring the old lady and the package and come to the department store at midnight tonight.
After Brother Snake's men replied, Han Fei was worried. He was prepared for double insurance, so he sent another text message to Wang Pingan. Unfortunately, Wang Pingan did not reply.
"What are you doing?" The bodyguard who just stopped Han Fei from approaching the underground warehouse came over again. He reached out to Han Fei and asked for Han Fei's mobile phone: "Who did you call just now?"
Looking at the bodyguard's extended hand, Han Fei just smiled and said, "The landlord is urging me to pay the rent."
Han Fei stopped using his mobile phone and picked up a second-hand book from the thrift store and read it. Slowly, it became completely dark.
There were not many customers in the mall, and a large number of shops were closed. At around nine o'clock in the evening, the lights in the mall were almost out.
"Would you two like something to eat?"
Han Fei walked towards the bodyguards, but the two bodyguards did not reply. They stared at the entrance of the underground warehouse, with some black hair growing on their skin.
"It was quite normal before, why is it suddenly like this?"
After patting the bodyguard's arm gently, the bodyguard suddenly turned his head and bared his teeth at Han Fei like a mad dog. However, after only half a second, he returned to normal.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay." Han Fei slowly moved away from the bodyguards. The two bodyguards sitting at the entrance of the underground warehouse were slowly alienating, and they hadn't noticed it yet.
"It's only around nine o'clock. Certain things in the past memory world will only be alienated after zero o'clock."
With a hint of uneasiness, Han Fei looked out the window. There were far fewer lights in the city tonight. Under the heavy rain, the whole city seemed to be distorted.
"No wonder the fingers dare not destroy the shrine casually. If fate changes, alienation will come early." The sand river in the memory world is a symbol of death, and the water in the wishing well is the condensed hatred and resentment. In this world, everything has to do with water.
Everything about it is ominous.
The night has been getting longer, and with the thick dark clouds, now there is no trace of light in the night sky...
"Ding dong", "ding dong"...
At ten o'clock in the evening, the store doors of the second-hand shopping mall kept being opened, and there were footsteps on the escalator leading to the underground warehouse.
Many toys and dolls on the old shelves had tears on their faces, and some old items that were originally clean also had blood stains on them.
The floor made a creaking sound, as if something was crawling inside. Behind the cracked shelves, it was pitch black, but if you shine a flashlight inside, you can see several black eyes.
The tables and chairs seemed to be shaking slightly, and a dull sound came from the underground warehouse, as if a huge heart was beating.
Han Fei didn't know what happened in the underground warehouse. He felt that all the abnormalities came from underground.
"The mission requirement is to survive for thirty days. The diary of the owner of the shrine has thirty pages, which means that he should have been sacrificed on the thirtieth day. But now the mall owner is under pressure and has arranged the altar in advance.
Han Fei weighed it silently: "Should I find a way to destroy that altar?"
Thunder roared and heavy rain pounded the glass crazily. The second-hand appliances in the store were clearly not powered on, but the screens began to flash. Amid the black and white snowflakes, a person could be vaguely seen being pushed into a well, screaming wildly.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Han Fei walked to the door of the store. When the sound of ding dong ding dong sounded, he heard the system prompt.
"Attention player No. 0000! Your hunger level is now 60 and your mood level is 30. Do you want to start today's work?"
"yes."
As soon as the system's cold beep sounded, Han Fei felt his shoulders suddenly sink. He turned around and saw an arm covered with black hair resting on his shoulders.
"Stay here, don't move." The appearance of the bodyguards has completely changed. Their exposed skin has long black hair, their bodies are stooped, and their spines seem to have been forcibly bent. They look like humans, but more like
dog.
"Okay." Han Fei turned around and quietly took out his mobile phone to send another message to Brother Snake's men to ask them to arrive in advance. But when the screen of his mobile phone was shining behind him, Han Fei saw countless people reflected on the screen.
human face.
Adjusting the angle, Han Fei pointed his cell phone at the glass display window. He found a person lying on the glass behind the store door.
Those people had sad faces, pressed their hands against the glass, and pressed their faces against the display window. They kept looking inside. Among them, there were a few that looked familiar to Han Fei. They seemed to be workers who had received money from Boss Gu during the day.
"Bang!"
The sound of breaking glass suddenly sounded!
The people lying outside the store all entered the house. They were attracted by a sound underground, walked past Han Fei, and walked toward the underground warehouse one by one.
There are more shoe prints on the floor of the shopping mall, and soon those shoe prints will be covered by new shoe prints.
The night sky was as dark as ink, and the heavy rain seemed to flood the city. It was extremely noisy here, but not a single human voice could be heard.
"Can't wait any longer!"
Han Fei decisively walked out of the thrift store, but he only stayed outside for a few seconds before his mood value dropped a bit. This unprecedented rate of decline forced him to stop.
"How can it be?"
A muffled growl passed into my ears, and the sound that sounded like a beast making when it was in danger actually sounded in the thrift store.
Han Fei slowly turned around. He saw that Boss Gu's two bodyguards had turned into big black-haired dogs. The canine teeth protruding from their mouths were stained with scraps of clothes and meat. There was no humanity in their eyes, and there were collars around their necks.
Wearing a collar made of money.
"Alienated?"
In the eyes of the owner of the shrine, the bodyguard is like a dog kept by Boss Gu. He does not argue about right and wrong and will do anything for money.
The two wild dogs, with greedy eyes and a strong desire to attack, bared their teeth at Han Fei.
After leaving the thrift store, the mood value will drop rapidly. The lower the mood value, the more alienated the monsters you see, and the more dangerous the situations you encounter.
But if you stay in the store, you have to keep company with these two mad dogs, and you may be attacked by them at any time.
Perhaps because Han Fei refused to enter the store, one of the dogs lowered its back and lunged at Han Fei!
The mouth was open, with two rows of living teeth and canine teeth, and a strong smell of blood wafted out of the mad dog's mouth.
"Afterlife!"
Taking out the death knife, Han Fei found in a very short period of time that the place where the mad dog was wearing the money collar had no hair and still retained human skin.
"That should be the weak spot."
The blade made of human nature passed through a ray of light, and the mad dog's head was cut off directly.
"Being able to be killed by me means that you must have killed many people." Han Fei did not put away his knife, and continued to kill the other mad dog.
Before he could take action, another mad dog had already ran over, biting the same kind of body with big mouthfuls. It was hard to imagine that just before night fell, they had been guarding the shop together.
Black-red blood seeped into the ground along the floor. The mad dog that was biting its companion suddenly stopped chewing. Its eyes stared directly at Han Fei, with the shadow of a shrine appearing in its eyes.
As he kept growling, the mad dog's body began to expand, and finally exploded in front of Han Fei.
Blood splattered everywhere, completely changing the appearance of the store. What was even weirder was that at this moment, all the clocks on the wall stopped moving.
Han Fei felt extremely uneasy because he knew that the thing in the shrine recognized him.
Originally, the mood value would not drop when staying in the store. That was because the shrine protected the thrift store, but now the shrine discovered that the person who ripped off his "skull" last night was in the store. Let alone protecting Han Fei, it would not do its best.
Killing Han Fei would be an apology to the evil god.
The heartbeat coming from the underground warehouse became clearer. Han Fei looked at the ground, and the powerful heartbeat was coming towards him rapidly from far away!
Han Fei turned around and ran. His mood value would drop a little every few seconds. Before he could even run out of the department store, his mood value had dropped to a very dangerous range.
His mind was filled with all kinds of terrifying thoughts, and he couldn't concentrate at all. The heavy rain outside the mall was like a sea falling from the sky. If he dared to step out of the mall, he would be swallowed up directly.
Under such extreme circumstances, Han Fei had no choice but to go out. He had no choice but to die if he stayed.
"Run to the west! Brother Snake's men will come from Xicheng District!"
He ran towards the darkness without hesitation. Han Fei didn't dare to stop. He didn't know how far he had run. Suddenly, a little light appeared at the end of the street.
"Brother, brother? Why don't you hold an umbrella?"
A stammering voice reached Han Fei's ears. He raised his head and saw a slightly deformed face.
Wang Ping'an!
"I, I just saw your message, I'm sorry."
"Ping'an, go to the People's Hospital! Take me there quickly!" Han Fei got on Wang Ping'an's electric car. Only when he caught Wang Ping'an did his mood value drop slow down.
Opening the panel to check, Han Fei's mood value was only sixteen points, and everything in his eyes was alienating.
The road at night seemed to have turned into a Styx. Pale arms would occasionally stretch out from the flowing water. Eyes opened in the ever-changing red street lights. The dark trees were filled with hanging figures.
Wang Ping'an, who braved the heavy rain and was unaware of the changes around him, put on Han Fei's helmet before starting the car: "Brother, my dad said he would give his helmet to you. He said you are a good person, so let me call you
Your brother, I made friends with you and said you wouldn’t harm me.”
Heavy rain was ravaging the city crazily. Amidst the noisy rain, Wang Ping'an's voice seemed to carry a special power that allowed Han Fei to hold on to his reason tightly and not be affected by alienated ghosts.
"Your dad thinks I'm a good person, what about you? In your impression, what kind of person am I?" Han Fei's mood value dropped to fifteen points. He grabbed Wang Ping'an's shoulders, and his cheeks had already been hit by the rain.
wet.
"I don't know what a good person is and what a bad person is. I just feel that you treat me as a human being. You make me feel that I am a human being just like you." Wang Ping'an still stuttered when he spoke, but he smiled happily.
, it seems that riding a bike with Han Fei in the heavy rain is a cool thing.
The electric car rode across the stone bridge, and the fence was filled with soaked people. They shouted loudly, hoping that Han Fei would take them home, and they would chase the electric car, but it seemed that they would never be able to leave the stone bridge.
"Peace, please drive faster."
The mood value dropped to fourteen, and the city in Han Fei's eyes had completely changed. He had never seen such a scene in his nightmares.
The rain washed away the outer skin of the building, exposing the flesh and blood inside. People were embedded in the building in various directions, and even breathing felt suppressed.
There is blood and sweat flowing at the foot of the city, and there are smiling faces that no one wants.
All the souls were roaring, but none of them could hear each other's voices, and everything was eventually drowned by the heavy rain.
"Brother, brother! Don't you dare fall asleep!"
"I didn't sleep."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't slept. I once sent a mother and her son to the hospital. The mother kept holding her child and shouting loudly - Don't you dare fall asleep. Brother, why can't people who go to the hospital fall asleep?"
Wang Ping'an seemed to be afraid that Han Fei would fall asleep, so he kept talking, but Han Fei's attention was entirely focused on the attribute panel.
When the mood value dropped to nine points, they finally arrived at the People's Hospital.
The electric car stopped, and Han Fei and Wang Ping'an looked up. The building in front of them became unfamiliar. It was bloated and ugly, and the white wall paint was full of black blood vessels, as if the God of Death was wearing an angel's mask.
In the memory of the owner of the shrine, this hospital received black money from Boss Gu and took away his mother, so the whole building became like this. In fact, the alienated world can be regarded as a kind of confession from his heart.
"Let's go to the fourth floor."
Entering the hospital, Han Fei's mood value dropped a little. He didn't even have time to take off his helmet and ran to the fourth floor with Wang Ping'an.
The steps that were easy to climb on weekdays became like a ladder to heaven tonight.
Just four floors, it seemed like a distance that he would never be able to cover in his lifetime.
"I know your pain. I came here just to change everything. I can go and see for you the places you have never been to in your life."
Han Fei took out the wishing jar and shouted with all his strength: "I have helped you so much, now I just want to see my mother."
Blood-red figures appeared quietly, first the old man's family, then several shop assistants, and finally the woman on the third floor of the shopping mall.
Together with Han Fei, they walked up the steps and dyed all the white steps red.
One step at a time, bloody shoe prints forced Han Fei to the fourth floor.
Rushing to the end of the corridor, Han Fei pushed open the ward door full of rotten flesh.
In this grotesque city of infinite alienation, the ward where the mother of the owner of the shrine is located is exactly the same as in her memory.
On the bedside table without any clutter, there is a bouquet of artificial flowers that will not wither.
The haggard mother was lying on the white sheets. On the left side of her hospital bed were various medical instruments, and on her right side stood a drunk man.
The man was holding a certain medical pipe with one hand and trying to turn off the still-operating equipment with the other hand.
Looking at the man's back, Han Fei clenched his fingers together fiercely, and his nails dug directly into his flesh.
