Zhang Fin looked at the time on his phone, and then said to Jiang Qinian:
"It's about to begin."
"Um?"
At first, Jiang Qinian was still deep in thought, so he didn't understand what Zhang Fin meant, but after seeing the time, he immediately reacted.
So he put the empty bowl in front of him on the table, and then asked Zhang Fin:
"You're saying that the time for patients to kill each other is about to begin, right?"
Zhang Fin nodded.
"Yes, this is one of the few opportunities to observe the appearance of patients in other departments, but under the influence of hunger, many patients have lost their minds. They only think about how to kill each other and do not care about each other at all.
Weird look.
By the way, I'm sorry that I can't help you fight. As a cafeteria employee, I am bound by rules. I cannot take action against patients during the time when they are preying on each other.
So everything is up to you.
The closing time of the canteen is 10:30. No matter what happens at that time, you must leave the canteen. Although with your strength, there is a high probability that your life will not be in danger even if you are locked in the canteen, but if you burst out in order to escape,
With his own strength, the possibility of his identity being exposed is very high.
Another thing is to pay more attention to the movements around you during ward rounds at night. I don’t know what will happen during ward rounds, but according to my observation, after every night ward round, the residents who come to the canteen to eat the next day
It will be less...
I don't know if this has something to do with the ward rounds at night, but I think it's almost the same, so you should be careful.
This hospital has many restrictions, so we have very few opportunities to connect.
And I was basically not allowed to leave the cafeteria, so I had to come here when I wanted to meet.
Well... I will be on the second floor of the cafeteria on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week to take care of the patients who need extra meals, and the rest of the time I will be on the first floor.
During normal meal times, I will supervise the dining patients on the first floor. At that time, the only chance for us to have contact is if you deliberately violate the rules. At that time, I will take you away for disciplinary reasons.
But it should be noted that this can only be done when I appear anywhere other than the window. Once I appear in the food pick-up window, please do not have any form of contact or eye contact with me!!
Remember, remember!"
Having said that, before Jiang Qinian could ask clearly, the ten o'clock bell rang, and Zhang Fin stood up in a hurry, and then said to Jiang Qinian hastily:
"Anyway, I remember what I said, because the person who showed up at the food pick-up window is probably not me. Time is running out and I don't have time to explain it to you. In short, the specific situation depends on your own observation. Don't trust me 100%.
If so, the hospital's rules may change at any time, so trust your own judgment!
I will put the hospital building layout map for you in the gap in the wall on the left hand side of the door on the second floor. Please pay more attention to it yourself!"
After saying that, Zhang Fin hurried out, leaving Jiang Qinian alone in the private room.
In just a few seconds, the lights in the cafeteria suddenly went out. In the darkness, Jiang Qinian seemed to be aware of many terrifying unknowns around him. In this invisible environment, he let out waves of heavy breathing.
Like beasts out of their cages, they are hungry and irrational, killing everyone they meet in the dark!!
It's just that I don't know if there is some unknown force affecting perception, but his sense of smell and hearing were not affected.
"If that's the case...does it mean that it's not that the environment is too dark, but that there is something floating in the air, absorbing the light source?"
Suddenly, an idea came into his mind.
If there is some unknown force affecting his senses, then it stands to reason that his hearing and smell should also be affected, but now only his vision is affected, which has to make him have some other ideas.
.
So he raised his arm and waved it gently in the air twice. Sure enough, as his arm continued to swing, there seemed to be a large amount of black powder swirling and flying in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qinian tentatively gathered a spiritual light spot in the palm of his hand, but found that even at such a close distance, he could only vaguely see the light spot.
What on earth is this?
Why does this strange change happen when entering the ten o'clock cafeteria?
Is it to make the situation more dangerous, or do these powders have some other function?
What is certain at present is that these powders are indeed composed of some unknown force, and if you smell them carefully, you can detect a faint stench from them.
It's like... the smell of burnt corpses...
Therefore, Jiang Qinian now has some guesses about what these powders are, and it is this guess that gives him a kind of physical discomfort...
Fortunately, with the existence of the Styx body, these disgusting and weird things would not attach to him. Otherwise, Jiang Qinian would not want to stay in such a canteen for a second longer.
The Styx body cannot completely repel these powders several meters away. After all, the power on the powder is too weird, and the amount is huge. Therefore, if it is not actively stimulated, the passive effect of being close to the Styx body can only be equivalent to that of the Styx body.
A transparent barrier appeared on his surface, blocking the powder from the outside.
But this was enough for Jiang Qinian. Although the presence of black dust hindered his vision, his combat ability did not entirely rely on vision.
You can also rely on your sense of smell and hearing to display good combat effectiveness.
Moreover, it is essentially a type of cat. Its night vision ability is quite excellent, but its hearing is also unmatched by other monsters.
As for the wind dog, although its sensory abilities are not as outstanding as those of Xiao, its advantage is that it can feel the fluctuations of airflow around the body. With this ability, Jiang Qinian's strength is actually the same as before.
It's just that when fighting, you can't be tough and brainless, you have to use your brain.
Now that his eyesight has been greatly weakened, Jiang Qinian no longer does useless work.
He chose a seat near the door curtain and sat down, then closed his eyes and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the private room, and Jiang Qinian also held his breath and concentrated his breath.
Those footsteps were very heavy. Judging from the sound of their landing, they must have weighed at least three hundred kilograms.
"Huh? Which department is this patient from?"
Jiang Qinian thought so in his heart.
At first he thought he was a fellow gastroenterology patient. After all, if it was like what Zhang Fin said, patients invaded by stomach ghosts would eat constantly and their weight would increase significantly.
But then I listened carefully, and I heard very heavy footsteps outside, and every time I landed, I could hear that solid "dong dong dong" sound.
There is a very subtle difference between the walking sounds of puffy and strong people. This difference may not be anything special to ordinary people's ears, but in Jiang Qinian's ears it can be infinitely amplified.
So obviously, the unknown outside the door is not a gastroenterology patient.
It does not belong to gastroenterology but has such weight, which made him think of the orthopedics mentioned by Zhang Fin.
The monsters faced by orthopedics are equally terrifying.
It was a parasitic insect that lived in bones. Although Zhang Fin did not say what the ability of this insect was, he could guess a lot based on the experience of unknown events for a long time.
But this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is...the footsteps suddenly stopped when they reached the door curtain...
This... what is this going to do?
Sit back and wait?
Jiang Qinian was puzzled for a long time.
But what is certain is that the unknown is really eyeing him. Because he is now
He didn't release any breath, so in the eyes of the other party, he might just be a very weak ghost.
At the same time, it is also a perfect snack...
Jiang Qinian dispersed his spiritual consciousness and sensed it. The unknown outside the door was just the cultivation level at the peak of mortal realm.
(Note: The peak of the mortal realm does not conflict with the physical limit. The physical limit is a very special realm between the mortal realm and the demigod realm)
Judging from the unknown level of cultivation, he could break the opponent's neck in the blink of an eye.
But he did not choose to act rashly.
First of all, since the canteen in the hunting stage is said to be so dangerous by Zhang Fin, it is obvious that there are more unknowns wandering here than just the one in front of you.
If an evil ghost who is only at the peak of the mortal realm can be called terrifying, then the so-called hunting becomes very ridiculous.
Therefore, there must be something more terrifying than the evil ghost outside, who is quietly peeping at his prey in the dark...
Secondly, he does not intend to kill everyone here.
His combat prowess is on par with the peak of the demigod realm. In one-on-one situations, it is difficult to find anyone in the entire hospital who can completely overwhelm him, not even the incarnation of the Great Nightmare.
Not to mention a small canteen.
The reason why he has been dormant is because his main goal is not the Big Nightmare, but to investigate the whereabouts of his self.
It would do him no good to be exposed too early.
But once he shows great strength in the hospital, the paper can't cover up the fire. He is not very professional in destroying evidence.
Therefore, once someone finds out any clues, his identity may not be concealed anymore.
Even if he can escape from the siege of the Big Nightmare incarnation and the hospital's senior management, the clues to his true self will be cut off, and it will be extremely difficult to find his whereabouts again.
Therefore, Jiang Qinian's idea is very simple.
Tonight's battle is inevitable. If this is the case, then he will only show part of his strength, pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and get through.
But just when he was coming to his senses, he suddenly noticed that the aura of the evil ghost outside the door was gone!!
And then, he heard a chewing sound not far from the door...
