Chapter 172

With the cooperation of No. 02, Wen Jianyan obtained the hidden props in the ward with little effort.

"Congratulations to the anchor for getting the hidden item (difficult) in the copy!"

【Collection Degree 6/10】

Wen Jianyan stared at the props in her palm.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a rag doll.

Old, yellowed fabric, faded facial features, missing a button eye.

According to Wen Jianyan's experience, the props in each critically ill patient's room are either items they once owned or things closely related to their past.

For example, dog toys from 01, picture books from 03, and brushes from 04.

By the same token...

He raised his eyes and looked at No. 02 who was standing beside him.

Under Wen Jianyan's order, the big, brown-skinned, brown-eyed man stood aside obediently. When he realized that Wen Jianyan was looking at him, No. 02 curled the corners of his lips, revealing a hazy expression. Brilliant smile.

Bright sunshine.

He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with finding dolls from his ward.

Wen Jianyan: "."

Forget it, what special interest does he have in the perverted spiritual world?

He took a deep breath, stuffed the tattered rag doll into his backpack, and then pointed his chin at Yang Yang: "Let's go."

For Wen Jianyan, the negative second floor is far more dangerous than the negative first floor.

After all, the patients at this level obviously have extremely obvious 'targeting' towards him.

"you go first."

Wen Jian said.

One thing he can tell is that this level of cooperation is fragile. The thinking mode of critically ill patients in Ping An Nursing Home is different from that of ordinary people. Wen Jianyan is so naive, because he will absolutely obey himself because he is afraid of death, No. 02 Agreeing to this form of cooperation, the threat to one's life is only part of the reason, and another reason, which Wen Jianyan summed up as the narcissism complex of psychopaths.

He challenged the right authority and completed the counter-kill in the field he was best at.

This is a signal to a sociopath with a powerful psychological flaw.

I am not your prey, I am stronger than you.

I can bite your neck.

As a narcissist, a shady means to reverse this victory would be an insult to the logic of his own actions and a denial of his past advantages.

These critically ill people are more like beasts than humans, and the natural instincts of the creatures prevail more than the moral code of human society.

, Wen Jianyan has a 70-80% certainty and agrees to cooperate with the situation.

Every critically ill patient has its own set of internal behavioral logic, which is to choose to obey and use it - just like Wen Jianyan did to 01, 03, and 04...

Or destroy it - just like what he did to Dr. 02 and Dr. Reis, it was the result of Wen Jianyan's deliberation.

This is essentially a kind of psychological "manipulation", guiding things in a direction that is beneficial to you.

, Wen Jianyan will not always aim the muzzle at No. 02, because he does not think that it will break his own behavior pattern, and constant vigilance is an unnecessary internal friction, which will consume his energy in unimportant parts, while ignoring the more noteworthy outside world.

However, this does not mean that Wen Jianyan will "exposed" his back to him with confidence.

This is a game that they know each other well.

Wen Jianyan knew clearly that his hand was holding a fragile rope, and the end of the rope was tied to a beast that would bite back at any time. He was temporarily submissive to the "sugar" in his hand, but once the other end of the scale pressed down more The chips, resistance will bring more temptation, it will choose to eat the master without hesitation.

, his other hand must always hold the whip.

When he bared his sharp teeth, he gave him a hard blow without hesitation.

This is not animal taming.

This is self-preservation.

"."

No. 02 followed the flow of kindness, he turned around obediently, and left the ward first.

Wen Jianyan immediately followed.

The corridor on the negative second floor is similar to the negative first floor, but the distance between the wards is much farther and the number is larger.

The lights above were extinguished early, or in other words, the entire Ping An Nursing Home was plunged into darkness without power, and only some of the emergency lights were still on.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

There are faint traces of blood splattered on the walls, some are still new, some have dried up, and the whole road is dead silent.

Out of caution, Wen Jianyan turned on the flashlight.

He has been to the second floor and has a deeper impression of the road here. In addition to the existence of 02 in the team, Wen Jianyan is not worried about finding the way or encountering monsters.

Speaking of monsters...

Looking at the back of the man who was just a few steps away from him, Wen Jianyan showed a thoughtful look while walking.

No. 02 said that there may be some of his handwriting, but most of the work is not done by him.

Since the blueprint of the fantasy world is the real world, then there is a high probability that what 02 said is not a "hole".

That being the case, those "monsters" should be some alienated patients.

Whether it was a slug head in the lobby on the first floor, or a human worm that swallowed humans in the belly of the second floor, or even those people who were driven by 02, they used to be members of the Ping An Sanatorium with a high probability.

The process of the world's invasion of the watch world is not only significantly accelerated, this alienation is not only in terms of speed, but also in mode.

That is, the so-called copy difficulty increases.

The patient's body also became deformed along with his own spiritual world, just like the "human bug" in the negative layer. Due to the fear of loneliness, he alienated into a monster eager to devour more humans to accompany him.

The heads in the hall should be composed of many low-risk, more docile patients. It is difficult for a single one to pose a threat, but when their number forms a nest, the degree of danger will greatly increase.

But danger or status, it is difficult to be regarded as a human being.

Wen Jianyan stared at No. 02's back.

The distance between them is not too far, even in such dim light, it can be seen that the man's body is tall and straight, with a standard broad frame, and the texture of the muscles can be clearly seen under the thin hospital gown. .

However... No. 02 seems to have such traces on his body.

By analogy, the remaining few people have a high probability of maintaining their current human form?

Why?

Wen Jianyan couldn't figure this out.

You must know that the negative level 1 is also a critically ill patient. In terms of danger level and crazy level, it should be no less than the negative level 2. So why are they both in danger, some have changed, and some have changed?

While Wen Jianyan was thinking about it, 02's back suddenly stopped.

"!"

Wen Jianyan immediately became vigilant.

Yoss turned around, grabbed Wen Jianyan's arm with his wide hand, and pulled him to the side suddenly.

Wen Jianyan tensed, but quickly let the pair act.

Now there are conditions that can make the pair abandon cooperation, that is to say, his current actions are likely to be beneficial to him.

No. 02's movements are agile, like a big cat, with a soft voice.

He pulled Wen Jianyan and hid in the guard room beside him.

The guard room was dark and the space was narrow. There was a hot body lying on the ground. The body was wearing a guard's clothing. There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Wen Jianyan was dragged by No. 02 and curled up in a corner of the guard room.

He frowned.

Although his physique is not that strong in comparison, it is still the skeleton of an adult, squeezed into such a narrow space, the distance between the two is compressed to the extreme.

Behind the spine is the man's warm and strong chest, almost as if he is half-embracing him, and through the thin clothes, it brings an unpleasant sense of intimacy.

"Someone is coming." The man's low voice rang in his ears.

Almost as soon as his voice fell, there were familiar footsteps outside the guard room.

Da-da, da-da, da-da.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness, approaching this direction.

Wen Jianyan's body was tense in reflex, and some of his attention was withdrawn from the 02 behind him and focused outside the guard room.

"Why did you come back suddenly? Don't waste our time."

Outside the guard room, a familiar voice sounded.

The gentle and sinister voice of the year has a bit of greenness and hoarseness in the voice-changing period, but the faint impatience in the voice is not concealed.

It's Neil.

"Shut up, if it wasn't for the sake of finding him faster, would you agree to split the time with you?" Another voice was similar, but with a harsher and harsher voice.

lol.

However, there was only one sound of footsteps.

That is to say, in the surface world, they still share the same body - for the time being.

"You are the most rewarding." Nair dropped a sentence in a vague way and fell into silence.

The sound of footsteps continued towards the guardhouse.

Wen Jianyan's heartbeat speeded up slightly. He remembered that Luo Erfen was good at "finding"...

The weight on his shoulders sank slightly.

It seemed that No. 02's chin was on his shoulder, and he tilted his head, feeling the soft curls brush his cheeks.

"Shh."

"..."

Wen Jianyan was startled, he remembered that Zhinail had done the same thing.

Even the arms across his waist looked very familiar, giving him a feeling of almost dislocation.

Footsteps echoed around the guard room, but they always entered the guard room.

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes.

Last time, Nair should have changed Lor's visual cognition as another personality, so that he could not see them, but this time, Yoss probably used his ability to create another guard. room.

But this familiarity...

"found it?"

Neil's indifferent voice rang outside.

"..."

Lorre was quiet for a while, before roaring in frustration, "Shut up."

The sound of footsteps drifted away.

After the sound disappeared, Wen Jianyan broke free from No. 02's arm, pulled away from him at the fastest speed, and left the guard room.

In the dim light, he stared at the young man with his brown eyes, but his expression was filled with undisguised pleasure, with a slightly raised tail with an exotic accent, and his aggressiveness was subtly hidden in the outer shell of harm. Under: "What's the matter, I did it, didn't I?"

Wen Jianyan's eyelids jumped.

"..."

After a brief silence, he suddenly smiled, and the vigilant expression he had first vanished. Wen Jianyan took a step forward, narrowed the distance between the two, and then raised his hand to casually 'knead' the right curly hair.

"of course not."

It is obviously a gesture of looking up, but it is forced by the youth to make a condescending meaning.

"Good job."

Wen Jianyan returned No. 02's first evaluation of herself.
