    Chapter 183

    [Integrity First] Live Room:

    "?!"

    "This is??"

    "Ah, I thought about it! After being touched by that neuron, the 'disease' on the ID card will attack. What is the disease that is being broadcast?"

    "I remember that the initial one seemed to be intellectual disability, oh yes, and then there was a perversion that was judged to be successful by the ID card."

    "I'm going...! Isn't that so?"

    Wen Jianyan stumbled forward and hit the sarcophagus directly.

    Hearing a "bang", the lid that was loosely fastened to the sarcophagus was knocked open and fell down the edge, making a deafening sound.

    There seems to be someone around who is reaching out to him and saying something.

    The sight is 'chaotic'.

    He can clearly hear the other party's voice and the emotions contained in those voices: surprise, fear, panic... But it is difficult to distinguish the content of the other party's words.

    Wen Jianyan's hand was on the slate, and she seemed to "feel" something under her fingertips.

    The surface of the icy stone seemed to have some strange dents, which were uneven and rough on the fingertips, causing a slight pain.

    what is it?

    Not sure.

    The young man's arms were taut, and under the pale skin were blue veins, embossed due to force, and the loose hair hung down, blocking the wet skin and dilated pupils.

    His brows were furrowed, his breathing was a little uneven, and his expression was forbearance.

    Wen Jianyan had never had such a strange feeling before.

    He knows who he is, and neither memory nor self-awareness has disappeared.

    He was like a small child back, and his complex memories were like a cabinet that was too big for him. All the content was there, but he couldn't get it out.

    As if something slender had stabbed into his brain, slowly, little by little, his brain was "chaotic" and turned into a viscous slurry. His thinking was gradually becoming dull, and the flow of information was only Simply scouring the past, he is like holding a sieve with too large holes, fishing in it in vain, no matter how hard he thinks, his palm is always empty.

    After being stunned for a while, Su Cheng quickly responded,

    He took a few steps forward quickly, supported Wen Jianyan, held his breath, and leaned closer to the other's lips: "What did you say? Say it again?"

    Wen Jianyan's lips twitched, half bewildered, half persistently reciting the words that flashed through her mind before she fell into a daze.

    It is difficult for him to remember the reason himself, and he just repeats it mechanically under the subconscious drive.

    Although it was just a messy sentence, Su Cheng still pieced together the other party's instructions. He hurriedly flipped through Wen Jianyan's pocket and quickly took out a tube of antidote.

    As the only person who was not infected at the time, and was almost unconscious for the whole process, Su Cheng was stunned for a second, then showed a dazed expression.

    The moment he saw the antidote, Huang "Mao" opened his eyes slightly and exclaimed:

    "This, this is... at the time of the laboratory?"

    "This is an antidote! Decontaminated!" Hearing this, Shao's "medicine" also responded quickly, and she shouted at Su Cheng, "Inject an "injection" into his neck!"

    "Understood."

    Su Cheng nodded quickly, holding the injection in one hand and holding Wen Jianyan's head in the other.

    Suddenly, the other party turned his head, and the sharp needles magnified in the amber eyeballs were reflected in the eyeballs, and the eyeballs were bright, undisguised pure fear: "No!"

    He screamed, suddenly struggling.

    The field was suddenly chaotic.

    "Help me hold him down!"

    Su Cheng couldn't hold back Wen Jianyan, who was struggling, and hurriedly asked his other teammates for help.

    Huang "Mao" and Shao "Yao" rushed over in a hurry, holding down Wen Jianyan's shoulders and arms and forcibly fixing him in place.

    Su Cheng pierced the needle with the fastest speed.

    The bright, cold and sharp needle pierced the skin, and the young man's body shook violently, and a whimper-like sound came out of his throat.

    Under the messy hair, the clear amber eyes of a child were slowly covered with a layer of water mist.

    He sobbed pitifully: "Pain..."

    [Integrity First] Live Room:

    "Damn, do you actually cry because of needles after your IQ drops! Thank you, I'm really cute!"

    Soon, the injection was empty.

    The three of them gasped and let go of their hands and stood up. The young man leaned against the sarcophagus, shrunk himself into a ball, covered his neck with one hand, and sobbed from time to time, looking extremely aggrieved.

    "So, what else do I need to do next?" Su Cheng asked.

    Huang "Mao" shook his sore wrist - although Wen Jianyan's IQ has dropped, but his ability may not, it is really difficult to hold this group down.

    He recalled it carefully: "I don't need it, I should just wait."

    Su Cheng was relieved: "That's good..."

    It's a pity that this relaxed moment lasted only a few seconds before it was easily broken.

    Just when everyone's attention was focused on Wen Jianyan, suddenly, a strange voice suddenly came from the dark passage leading to the underground tomb "cave" not far away.

    It sounded like scratching, and it seemed like the sound of procrastinating footsteps, chaotically, layer upon layer, and seemed to be approaching in this direction.

    "!"

    Several people were startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

    Oops.

    Every time the bell rings, the copy changes irrevocably, mutating at an unsettling rate.

    Maybe it's just that the bell has a negative effect, or maybe it's because he made too much noise just now, causing the corpses that were sleeping in the corridor to wake up and heading in this direction.

    "What shall I do now?"

    Huang "Mao"'s face turned pale, and he looked at the other people beside him.

    In just a few seconds, the pale corpse appeared at the end of the dark corridor.

    The lifeless, half-corrupt face was turned up, the neck bone seemed to have been broken, and it hung down at an unbelievable angle, the hair was covered with blood scabs, the skull was broken with a large hole, and the "exposed" was empty. The dark crevice of "swing".

    "I can't rush out." As the only person with experience with these living corpses, Shao "Yao" made a decisive decision: "Block it!"

    She attacked with her teammates, and she knew exactly how terrifying these corpses were after being awakened. When he didn't receive any weakening, he was only able to rush into the catacombs while saving his life. ’, and now, his combat power is only half at most.

    Yellow "hair" counts as half.

    But Wen Jianyan was unconscious, and the life and death of the person he dragged out was unknown, and Shao "Yao" didn't even have time to confirm who the other party was.

    In this case, it is simply a fantasy to want to rush out.

    On the contrary, it is much less difficult to block a living corpse.

    The passage leading to the catacomb's "cave" is slender and narrow, which greatly limits the number of living corpses that can pass through at one time—that is to say, as long as this passage is blocked, the chances of survival will be high.

    However, if he did this, he would also block himself in a dead end, and it would be difficult for him to leave the catacomb "cave" easily—if he made a mistake, there would be no more tasks in the catacomb "cave". If he can't open or complete the ultimate line, then he will bury himself alive by doing so.

    Several people looked at each other and rushed forward tacitly.

    He has no other choice.

    After all, a slow "suicide" sounded more hopeful than direct death.

    Muffled and 'chaotic' sounds can be heard in the distance.

    Footsteps, shouts, prop activation.

    "..."

    Wen Jianyan frowned and opened his eyes slowly.

    The kind of thing that seemed to be covered by fog before, and the sense that his brain was getting dull a little bit has disappeared, and he realized that his thinking ability was recovering, and he quickly regained clarity.

    Slight pain in neck.

    Wen Jianyan was relieved.

    Look, his teammates caught his cue very well, and he "injected" the antidote in time.

    only……

    He raised his hand and "touched" his cool cheek, revealing a suspicious expression.

    How is it so wet?

    However, now is not the time to bet on this.

    Wen Jianyan stood on one side of the sarcophagus, turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, Su Chengshao "Yao" was trying to block the narrow passage, Huang "Mao" stood aside, occasionally helping, but Most of the time, it is the direction of the living corpse in the observation channel, and people warn.

    It didn't seem like he needed much help, and he had other things to get done.

    Wen Jianyan retracted her gaze and turned to look at the sarcophagus behind her.

    When he just rushed out of the confession room, although he had already been infected, the negative effects had not yet fully occurred, and he was barely able to retain a little sanity on the edge of chaos.

    Wen Jianyan remembered that she seemed to have "touched" something on the board of the sarcophagus...

    It was uneven, like it was engraved, but his brain was not sober at the time, so he didn't know what was on it.

    Wen Jianyan leaned down and searched carefully inside the sarcophagus.

    In the end, he found a crooked notch on the inside of the sarcophagus lid.

    "adam"

    A... name?

    Wen Jianyan was stunned for a moment, showing a suspicious look.

    At this moment, the familiar system notification sound rang in my ears: [Ding! Congratulations to the broadcast for completing the task: you know? ? ? real name]

    【Reward Points: 1000】

    Wen Jianyan was taken aback.

    Wait, when did this mission happen?

    And... 1000 bonus points? so much? !

    Is this the name of 05?

    wrong.

    This idea was quickly rejected by Wen Jianyan.

    After meeting No. 05 with the face of "Witch Candle", there was no more response in the task bar, and he did not post a task like when he met with several other people, that is to say, the task he completed now, It should have been obtained before-

    Say... adam's initials are "a".

    The abbreviation of Dr. Reese in the information is dr.a.reese.

    Only his real name task difficulty level is high, and the others are intermediate.

    In other words, adam is actually Dr. Reese's name?

    Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes and rubbed the crooked notch with her fingertips, revealing a contemplative look.

    Some broken clues are strung together in my mind.

    First, according to the Bible, Adam was the first man created by God.

    Secondly, Dr. Reiss is always more like a high-risk patient than a medical staff in the system's identification - he has the task of his real name, and he can also enter the inner world.

    Finally, in the special scene just now, Dr. Reiss said that "personal experience of exorcism is not a once-in-a-lifetime experience"-you know, in the process of his completion of the exorcism ceremony, all medical staff will Leaving the room, only the priest and the sick will be left.

    If there is only one of them, it is difficult for Wen Jianyan to determine the underground conclusion, but when all three clues are put in front of him, the final conclusion cannot be clearer.

    Dr. Reiss was the original patient No. 00 before 01, but in some way, he got rid of the identity of the patient and became a key member to assist in completing the "plan".

    The second question arises.

    What exactly is a "plan"?

    According to the picture book that Wen Jianyan found in patient No. 03, that is, Nair Lore's room, it can be clearly seen that he does not have any mental illness, but is a soul stuffed into a body.

    In other words, his "dual personality" was artificially created.

    And the "contamination" of neurons will also have a very similar effect - that is, turning normal people into madmen.

    Make people who are healthy at heart suffer from mental illness.

    And the final 05 is almost completely non-human.

    He is a brain soaked in a certain "liquid".

    And so on, is it possible, then, that all mental illnesses in high-risk patients are created?

    Not just mental illness, maybe...

    He himself was made?

    This thought came to mind, causing Wen Jianyan to shudder.

    If his guess is true, then these high-risk patients should all be guinea pigs bred in the laboratory, and all of them have completed the so-called "plan".

    In this case, his name should also be given.

    is some kind of codename.

    Wen Jianyan was very curious at the beginning. One of the tasks in this dungeon would be to find the real names of high-risk patients. Then, his name should be meaningful.

    In the information in the reference room, he is all referred to by his initials.

    Edward, initial "e"

    Mars, initial "m"

    Nair Lore, initials "n" and "l"

    Uris, initial "u"

    Dr. Adam Reese, initial "a"

    Wen Jianyan raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose with a troubled look.

    "e" "m" "n" "u" "l" "a"...

    According to the appearance of this dungeon so far, everything should be very similar to the Heavenly Sect.

    Suddenly, like a flash of light flashed through my mind, like lightning illuminating the dark sky.

    "!"

    Wen Jianyan seemed to realize something suddenly, he murmured:

    "emmanuel...?"

    Emmanuel.

    From Hebrew, it is a variant of "imanuel" [Immanuel], that is, "God is with me".

    【Ding! Congratulations to Boo for completing the hidden mission and obtaining the real name of the No. 05 high-risk patient! 】

    【Reward Points: 5000】

    【Ding! Congratulations to broadcast for triggering the ultimate mission of Ping An Sanatorium: ? ? ? 】

    [Completion time limit: one hour]

    [Note: If the task fails, all survival time points will be deducted, and the live broadcast room will be closed immediately]

    Wen Jianyan's heart tightened for a moment.

    Ultimate line quest? !

    The system prompt sound has not been completely broadcast, and the bell suddenly rang again.

    "When - when - when -"

    I don't know if it's an illusion, but the bell seems to be particularly loud, echoing in the huge catacomb "cave", with layers of turbulent sound waves.

    Accompanied by the sound of the bell, the living corpses that attacked the catacomb "cave" seemed to calm down again.

    Those dense footsteps and rubbing noises gradually disappeared until they were swallowed up again by the darkness and returned to silence.

    "..."

    The three of them stood at the end of the passage, panting rapidly, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, clearly exhausted.

    In any case, now the most urgent crisis has finally been resolved.

    He turned his head and looked behind him.

    I saw the silver-haired young man with his head down, staring fixedly at the open sarcophagus, the whole figure seemed to be completely immersed in his own thoughts.

    The 'chaotic' mental state just now seemed to have disappeared from him, and he seemed to have completely returned to his normal state, looking calm and rational.

    "you're awake?"

    Su Cheng was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly greeted him: "How are you feeling?"

    Wen Jianyan was stunned, as if he was awakened from his deep thoughts, and turned his head to read: "It's okay."

    He smiled: "Thank you, you responded quickly."

    Not only can he quickly realize that he is in a contaminated state, but he can also pull out the antidote from his clothes and "inject" him. The whole process is very tacit, saving a lot of time,

    "It's a pity that it wasn't fast enough," the living corpse was repelled, and Wen Jianyan returned to normal. Although the crisis had not been completely resolved, Su Cheng finally had the leisure to joke.

    He looked at Wen Jianyan narrowly: "At least it's not too late to record you crying because of the needle."

    Wen Jianyan: "?"

    He blinked, ignoring the sudden realization, and his body froze slightly.

    Wait... When I just woke up, the thing that "touched" the wet face on my face should be...

    Wen Jianyan: "..."

    Gan.

    To be an adult reliable man, not a famous professional international fraudster, would actually cry with tears all over his face because of the needle, which is somewhat humiliating.

    Shao "Yao" is currently checking the teammate who was picked up by Wen Jianyan.

    She lifted the other's head carefully, recognizing Luce's face.

    He seems to be alive, but his breath is weak and his body is cold, as if he will die in the next second, and he will never wake up, but in any case, Wen Jianyan has indeed fulfilled his promise.

    ——Within his ability, rescue her teammates.

    Shao Yao let out a long sigh and turned to look at Wen Jianyan not far away:

    "Say, now that the task of the epic props has been completed, have you got the props?"

    Her voice rescued Wen Jianyan from the embarrassing abyss.

    "Should have gotten it."

    With that said, Wen Jianyan opened her backpack and took out the epic hidden items that the system had put into it.

    A small, small iron box appeared in the palm of his hand.

    Gray is not slippery, very inconspicuous, and a logo of ouroboros is shallowly engraved on the surface.

    [Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

    "Oh oh oh! Epic props!"

    "I look forward to it, I look forward to it, what will it be!"

    A few people all came together curiously.

    Wen Jianyan frowned, and turned over to observe the iron box - soon, he found a thin gap in the center, which seemed to be able to be opened, but there was no keyhole for "insert" a key.

    "...Isn't it?" Su Cheng's mouth twitched: "After completing so many tasks, what I finally got was not an epic-level item, but a box containing epic-level items?! And I'm now trapped in the underground tomb" How can I find the key here?"

    Wen Jianyan stared blankly at the iron box in his palm: "..."

    Damn, the pit is more than the system.

    [Integrity First] There was also silence in the live broadcast room:

    "..."

    "...Crap, this wave is really unkind, and the props given are still semi-finished products!"

    "Laughing to death, I'm afraid I have to use a lock-picking tool to pry this thing open!"

    "However, this also shows that this item is indeed unusual. It is estimated that it is out of the ordinary. Otherwise, the system will not add so many restrictions to it."

    If only the tool he used to unlock the lock hadn't been used...

    Wen Jianyan "showed" a look of regret.

    But this is not in the way. When he leaves the dungeon, he can go to the free market to buy a similar item. In any case, this lock will probably not help him for long.

    "Right, say,"

    Wen Jianyan put the small box back in his pocket, looked at the people in front of him, suddenly something rang, and said:

    "I've started the final line quest."

    No. 05's real name would actually be the trigger point, which he didn't expect at all.

    Several people were stunned, and their expressions suddenly became slightly solemn.

    The final line quest...

    If you complete it, you will naturally get more generous rewards and platinum trophies. However, this also means that if it is not completed within the specified time limit, even if the communication requirements have been met, the live broadcast room will be closed.

    Totally fighting for life.

    Suddenly, Shao's "medicine" seemed to think of something: "By the way, how much do you have in the collection of props now?"

    Wen Jianyan blinked and replied, "There's one more."

    Shao took a deep breath, took out something from his pocket, and handed it to Wen Jianyan:

    "Try this."

    At the moment of touching it, the familiar sound of the system rings in my ears:

    "Congratulations on getting the hidden item (normal) in the dungeon!"

    "Collection 10/10"

    Wen Jianyan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head subconsciously and looked at her palm.

    It was a glass jar the size of a palm, so gray that it looked very inconspicuous.

    This is actually... the last hidden item? !

    He looked at Shao Yao who was standing in front of him, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

    "It's just an ordinary level, and it's not very useful to me," Shao "Medicine" shrugged, "but it's different for you, after all the items are collected, it will provide you with tips for the ultimate line quest, and, I Now that they are all in the catacomb "cave", it is very difficult to complete the task of points in a short time, so it is better to leave more paths for yourself."

    "In case I don't have time to collect the points, then maybe it's up to you to complete the ultimate mission and take me out."

    Shao Yao paused, raised his eyes, looked at the young man in front of him seriously, took a deep breath, and said:

    "Also, I don't seem to have time to thank you yet."

    "Thank you for catching me in the lab earlier."

    At that time, although she was immersed in the scarlet flesh membrane, she still had some vague and broken memories, and with the passage of time, these memories became clearer - even if the other's palm was cut by the fishing line , slashed, and there were delirious teammates behind him attacking him frantically, but he never let go...

    It is precisely for this reason that Shao "Medicine" will be in Nightmare, a place full of intrigue, believing that the other party can rescue his teammates, and even willing to sign an unequal treaty to transfer epic-level prop tasks to him.

    【Ding! It is detected that all hidden props have been collected, and now the core tips of hidden lines are released:

    Seven bells, end to end

    A brain in a vat, a world of its own]

    "..."

    Wen Jianyan was stunned for a second.

    ... 7?

    7! ! !

    After careful calculation, there are seven high-risk patients with names.

    No. 00 Adam Reis, No. 01 Edward, No. 02 Uris, No. 03 Man, Nair and Lore, No. 04 Mars, No. 05 Emmanuel.

    The entire Ping An Sanatorium has a total of six floors.

    On the basement floor, there are four floors above ground, and above the fourth floor, there is a hidden seventh floor.

    Seven bells, and he has experienced exactly six now, and the last...

    It is said that in the celestial religion, the number "7" is actually very special.

    It took God a total of seven days to create the world. God designated the seventh day as a holy day, which is the day of worship. Even the legendary flood that destroyed the world is also inseparable from "7".

    "You shall take seven males and seven females of all clean animals, one male and one female of unclean animals, and seven males and seven females of the birds in the air. Because in seven days, I will rain on the earth for 40 days and nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the earth." 1

    That is to say, in the celestial religion, 7 is the cycle of creation and destruction. Whether it is the creation or the destruction of the world, they are closely related.

    "..."

    So, could the so-called "plan" in the Ping An Sanatorium be...

    Wen Jianyan took a breath.

    Suddenly, the contents of the sign he saw outside the laboratory suddenly jumped into his mind.

    The words "spiritual" and "uroborus" are vaguely recognizable in the blurred and broken text...

    "uroborus" is ouroboros, no doubt about it.

    And another word is different.

    If his laboratory is studying mental illness, then the word should be "mental".

    The word "spiritual" is used more often with respect to "religion" and "supernatural soul" than with regard to mental illness.

    Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth.

    Although he can speak English, he did not grow up from that language and cultural background, so he ignored such a prominent prompt!

    Seven manufactured experiments.

    The last one is a huge brain that floats up and down in the "liquid".

    Seven bells.

    Plus that name that symbolizes "God is with me"...

    Wen Jianyan stood there in a daze, a guess slowly surfaced in his mind, making his back shiver and his whole body shivering.

    This so-called "plan"...

    Why does it seem a bit like creating a god and creating a world now?
