Chapter 24: Instance Two

【Your name is Qingci】

The electronic voice sounded in Su Mian's mind, but she couldn't open her eyes. Many complex pieces of information surged toward her, and Su Mian frowned in discomfort.

Her head was splitting.

She had a premonition that she had returned to that place called the Infinite World.

【You are a psychiatrist, officially hired two years ago, promoted to head of the psychiatry department one year ago】

【You are gentle, patient, and impeccable. Your good temper and excellent appearance have won you great prestige in the psychiatry department; both patients and colleagues speak highly of you.】

【But you have an unknown secret.】

The electronic voice changed its style, suddenly becoming somewhat low.

【You are a psychopath who likes to dissect corpses, so those living bodies, especially robust ones with a sense of power, have a deep attraction for you.】

【Power and proportion, bones and lines, you often marvel at how beautiful the curves are when the blade slices open the skin.】

What the hell.

Su Mian was speechless at this bizarre character setting.

【When you were just an intern, you originally wanted to enter the pathology department so you could legitimately go to the dissection room, but unfortunately, your major didn't match, so you had to settle for second best.】

【You have always had an idol named Zhang Shuo Zhi, who is the head of the pathology department. He is always willing to give you opportunities for dissection, satisfying your twisted and alternative desires, even though you know his intentions are not about the wine.】

【The hospital has become a bit strange recently. Patients say that at two in the morning, they can always see people in hospital gowns sleepwalking, suddenly falling from the roof, but the next day there is nothing.】

【This is too strange, but you don't care, however... you are unexpectedly on the night shift today.】

After the electronic voice finished this sentence, it disappeared without a sound.

Su Mian slowly opened her eyes. She had already appeared in a consultation room of a hospital.

There were six people in total here. Some had normal expressions, some were terrified; they should all be players who had been dragged in.

The lighting in the consultation room was yellowish, looking somewhat strange on the human model in the distance, the left chest area smeared with red paint.

Only the ticking of the clock could be heard in the room, and the smell of disinfectant circled in the room. For Su Mian, who was often bedridden, this smell could be considered reassuring.

As long as it wasn't some rotting smell or corpse stench, she could accept it.

A mobile whiteboard was placed at the end of the room, covering the window, similar to the blackboard in the previous instance, but it didn't seem abrupt.

【Task One: Please complete your daily work】

【Task Two: Find the murderer】

【Mian Mian~ long time no see, did you miss 4399~】

4399 didn't know when it went online, enthusiastically greeting Su Mian.

"Why isn't there even a script this time?"

Su Mian asked, discovering that all the script information had been poured directly into her brain, and she didn't have anything like A4 paper in her hand.

【Because our previous instance was a newbie instance, it would be a bit similar to the script murders in your main world. The purpose was to let newbie players integrate quickly.】

【You successfully passed the first level and unlocked quite a few permissions, so information reception naturally became much more convenient.】

【Besides that, there is a newbie gift pack!】

"Newbie gift pack?"

Su Mian asked uncertainly.

【Yes! It's something all detectives who clear the newbie instance will receive, but every detective's newbie gift pack is a bit different.】

"Then what is mine?"

【Character buff bonus! After the detective enters the instance, they will automatically stick to the character role, and the accidental accidents and risks caused by the character setting will be greatly reduced!】

"Sounds like it's useless."

Su Mian was disappointed for a moment and finally gave this evaluation. 4399 was still trying hard to promote it, while the players on the side had already started arguing.

"How did I get dragged in again? What exactly do you want? Let me go back!"

"Brother, haven't you recognized reality yet?"

"Newbie detective, right? You just passed one instance?"

That man looked somewhat angry and didn't respond to the others.

He slapped the table and walked toward the door of the consultation room, only to find that no matter what, it wouldn't open. The woman sitting by the whiteboard sneered, crossing her arms.

"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to open the door."

Hearing this, the man finally stopped. He seemed to have thought of something, his face terrified, and he hurriedly sat back down.

He probably had experienced something unpleasant in the newbie instance.

Su Mian looked at the arrogant woman, or more accurately, the whiteboard behind her.

Self-introduction.

The same process, the same... handwriting.

"You're a newbie too?"

Seeing Su Mian look over, the woman asked while sizing her up.

Su Mian pondered for a moment, then nodded without saying much. The woman also disdained to speak to her and stood up on her own.

"My name is Chen Mo, a pediatrician, graduated from Fushan University, interned at this hospital two years ago, and officially hired half a month later."

Her introduction was very fluent, and she entered the role very quickly, making it obvious to anyone that she was an experienced player.

"I believe there are also Fushan University graduates among everyone here. This doesn't need to be hidden. If you are, say it clearly in the self-introduction. I hate stupid players who aren't the murderer but still lie the most."

Chen Mo flicked her hair, her words resounding, carrying a thick sense of contempt.

Everyone's gaze focused on her, silently keeping their distance.

Another man with glasses stood up. He had a smile on his face, appearing approachable.

Although most players present were wearing white coats, this clothing actually suited him best.

"My name is Wang Zeyu, an imaging doctor, responsible for operating imaging equipment, such as ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, CT, etc."

"I've been working at the hospital for almost five years, with rich experience. If there's anything you need my help with, come to the imaging department to find me."

He nodded with a smile, looking like he had really worked at the hospital for a long time.

After Chen Mo's self-introduction, everyone's favorability toward him rose in a straight line.

They were all old players; this way of speaking was too different.

"My name is Su Tang, a nurse on the 21st floor."

Just like her name, the girl's appearance was also sweet, and she spoke in a cutesy way, making people unable to help but look a few more times.

"I'm also an old player, but I'm not as good as Chen Mo sister. If it weren't for her reminder, I wouldn't have been prepared to say that I'm also a Fushan University graduate."

She smiled at Chen Mo. This remark actually made the woman feel great. She curled her lips, pretending to be cold and nodding.

"And it's the same class. Qingci is too."

Su Mian was suddenly cued. She lifted her head and found Su Tang smiling at her. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
