Neuropathy?

Say who?

The two men didn't speak loudly, but the stairs were empty, so Ling Rizhao heard everything they said.

A surge of anger rose in his heart.

I couldn't stand such an environment for even a day, so how did Xiao Qianchuan spend a year here?

Ling Rizhao didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that he would lose control...

"Officer Ling, please put me down! I can walk up these stairs by myself."

Xiao Qianchuan's words suddenly interrupted the violent thoughts that inexplicably emerged in Ling Rizhao's mind.

He lifted up his right hand to make the person sitting in his arms more comfortable.

"It's okay, you're very light. I wasn't bragging when I said I could pick you up with one hand."

Ling Rizhao held the person in one hand and the wheelchair in the other, and walked carefully up each step. His pace was not fast but steady.

Xiao Qianchuan's face turned red. This posture was like holding a child.

But he is such a big man.

It was okay as there weren't many people on the seventh floor, but starting from the sixth floor, the door at the stairs opened and patients started going down to eat one after another.

Those curious, gossipy, or scrutinizing looks made Xiao Qianchuan wish he could find a hole to hide in.

He regretted once again why he hurt his thigh.

The arms are not okay? The stomach is not okay? The chest is also okay!

What a sin!

Xiao Qianchuan buried his head in Ling Rizhao's shoulder and pretended to be an ostrich.

Ling Rizhao's gaze swept across the faces of the people around him one by one.

There was no one he was looking for.

Has the child gone down first?

Finally reached the third floor.

Xiao Qianchuan sat back in his wheelchair and breathed a sigh of relief.

The cafeteria is divided into two sides. The left side is the staff dining area with the door open. You can see many doctors and nurses chatting and laughing while eating and resting there.

On the other side is the inpatient dining area with a closed door, which allows patients to enter only when accompanied by a doctor or nurse and after their identity is confirmed by security guards.

Xiao Qianchuan glanced to the right and whispered, "Officer Ling, let's go in!"

Ling Rizhao nodded and pushed the wheelchair towards the dining area for inpatients.

The security guard at the cafeteria entrance was probably too busy, and when he saw that there was a doctor accompanying a patient, he let us in without asking any further questions.

After entering the door, Ling Rizhao found that there were not many patients coming to eat, and the huge cafeteria seemed very empty.

Xiao Qianchuan looked around and said, "They should all be here."

"that's it?"

Ling Rizhao pushed the wheelchair, a little surprised.

There are only about a dozen patients here, but the number of security guards and medical staff is almost twice that number.

"Nanshan Anding Hospital was originally a public hospital with good medical conditions and reputation, but it lost money every year and could not sustain itself. Later, it was acquired by a private company, and the price of medical treatment rose to a level that ordinary families could not afford, so the number of patients decreased. When I was admitted, there were less than 20 patients in the entire inpatient department."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qianchuan was obviously in a low mood.

Ling Rizhao also suddenly remembered that he had converted all the points rewards Xiao Qianchuan had received from the game twice into money and gave them to the orphanage.

Obviously he still needs a lot of money.

Ling Rizhao thought of Director Yang of the orphanage again.

How could ten years wear someone down like that? His black hair had turned completely grey.

The orphanage had huge expenses back then. I heard that Director Yang sold his own house to barely keep the orphanage going.

So how did she raise the medical expenses for Xiao Qianchuan?

"Actually, when I first entered the game, I met Dean Yang."

The relaxed expression on Xiao Qianchuan's face froze for a moment, and then suddenly became panicked.

Afraid that he might misunderstand, Ling Rizhao quickly added, "Don't worry, Dean Yang was not dragged into the game. That was... the Dean Yang in the past. She looked much younger."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianchuan's nerves, which had been stretched to the limit, suddenly relaxed.

He leaned back in his chair, his shoulders slumped, and his face regained its composure.

Ling Rizhao asked tentatively: "She came to inquire about Xiao...Xiao Xiaochuan's condition and wanted to see him. I promised him that I would make arrangements tomorrow. Do you want to see her?"

Of course I want to, but I can't.

Xiao Qianchuan knew it very well.

"Mother Yang is not here to see me. I can't see him at this time."

Ling Rizhao knew it as well, but he would arrange everything.

"I will help you if you want."

Hearing this, Xiao Qianchuan looked up at the other party and said with a smile: "Officer Ling, you are really a very reliable person!"

"Hey! Officer Ling... Doctor Ling, you're here too! Haha... what a coincidence, what a coincidence."

Lan Bo called out from afar and half of the people in the cafeteria turned their heads to look over.

He quickly changed his address, apologized quietly, and ran through the line for food towards Xiao Qianchuan and Ling Rizhao.

The three of them found an inconspicuous corner, and as soon as they sat down, Lanbo couldn't stop talking.

"Oh! Why did you guys just come down? I've been waiting for a long time. This hospital is like a prison, with three layers of security guards inside and outside, and they are all very arrogant. If these big idiots didn't have electric batons in their hands, I...any one of my bodyguards at home could easily 1v3."

Lan Bo talked without limit once he opened his mouth, and Xiao Qianchuan was happy to talk nonsense with him.

"Well, the young masters of Shanlan Group are different. Whenever they go out, they act like the emperor on a tour. Not to mention the three layers of walls inside and outside, even the area eight miles away is cleaned up for you."

Hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Qianchuan's words, Lan Bo immediately clasped his hands together.

"Alright, alright! We are all family, please be gentle with your words. You are my young master, alright! What would you like to eat? I'll go get you some food."

Jokes aside, business is more important. Xiao Qianchuan held Lanbo's shoulders.

"I'm not hungry, please sit down first. Did you find anything this afternoon?"

Hearing this, Lan Bo instantly frowned. He took out the gold-eye pocket watch from his pocket and threw it on the table, saying unhappily.

"This broken watch is useless. I don't understand the system's bullshit usage conditions. I walked up and down the stairs for a whole afternoon and didn't find anyone who looked like a player. But I found that there are not many normal people in this hospital. I can guarantee that the doctors here have some psychological problems."

Xiao Qianchuan and Ling Rizhao agreed very much with Lan Bo's last words.

Working in such a closed and depressing environment for a long time will cause even the most normal person to have problems.

This hospital is not treating patients, it is creating patients.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qianchuan suddenly had a terrible guess in his mind.

Noticing the ugly expression on the face of the person next to him, Ling Rizhao asked, "What? What did you think of?"

Xiao Qianchuan subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but then he thought of how Officer Ling had believed in his untold lies without reservation. Perhaps the other party could understand his unfounded speculation.

"I was thinking, since the system has chosen this hospital as the dungeon game, then according to the system's guidance, the final outcome of this world line must be destruction."

"But I can't understand how a hospital can threaten the world."

Lan Bo was confused by what he heard, but he understood one thing very well.

If I fail in this mission, the world I have been living in will be over.

Ling Rizhao pondered and made a guess, "You said that the first copy was also a hospital, and there was a virus outbreak at that time. So could a similar situation occur in this hospital?"

Xiao Qianchuan shook his head.

"No! The research conditions in this hospital are quite backward. It is impossible for them to develop any powerful viruses."

Listening to the brainstorming between the two, Lanbo's brain waves suddenly connected.

"If the hardware isn't good enough, the software needs to catch up! I think the security of this hospital is so tight, maybe they are researching some kind of mind control or psychological intervention. They drive people crazy and then release them to take revenge on society."

Lanbo's words sounded so ridiculous that he even laughed after he said it.

Xiao Qianchuan exchanged a glance with Ling Rizhao, and at the same time thought of the unusual aspects of this hospital.

"This hospital is full of ghosts."
