Chapter 25: Twelve Two-Hour Periods Arbitration Group

~7 min read 1,358 words

"Hey, it's a pity I'm not hardworking enough and don't have the strength like Qingci, so I could only be a nurse when I got to the hospital."

She scratched her head, causing everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere became a bit more relaxed.

"My name is Qingci, head of the psychiatry department, graduated from Fushan University two years ago, promoted to head one year ago."

"Wait, you're in psychiatry?"

Chen Mo suddenly looked at her with a strange expression. Su Mian nodded.

"That's too terrible!"

Su Tang covered her mouth. Su Mian was puzzled.

"Ahem, you're a newbie, so you don't have permission to view the DM of this session yet."

Wang Zeyu explained, while his gaze toward her carried some pity and sympathy.

"As far as I know, the DM's identity is a critical patient in the psychiatry department."

"Identities that get too close to the DM usually don't have a good ending."

Chen Mo continued, her tone carrying some schadenfreude and intimidation.

"In my previous instance, there was a newbie player whose identity was class monitor. They spent a lot of time dealing with the DM. One moment of carelessness, the character setting collapsed, and they died."

"Don't scare her."

Wang Zeyu frowned and interrupted. Chen Mo hummed, "I'm just afraid some newbies don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth. After all, I've met many, and these newbies often drag their feet."

"Not necessarily..."

The man who had been shouting to leave at the beginning spoke softly. He looked somewhat dissatisfied.

Who is she pointing at?

"It's not necessarily, but this DM is Si Shi."

As soon as this was said, the whole room fell silent.

Even Wang Zeyu stopped speaking up for Su Mian. He suppressed the shock in his eyes.

Code name Si Shi, he had encountered it once in a game many years ago.

No one survived that game except him.

The DM with the code name of the Twelve Two-Hour Periods is the head of the Arbitrators, with different DMs corresponding to different time slots.

Personalities and temperaments are all different, but they all have one common point: behavioral logic and execution judgment are more precise and flexible, and they are also more tricky to deal with.

Si Shi corresponds to the personality and setting of the snake state.

Yang energy is at its peak and Yin gradually arises, possessing top-notch personality charm and male hormones, while also possessing pathological methods and styles.

The trajectory of action is hidden in the gray area between day and night, showing no waves but setting a life-and-death game.

Those who are forced to get close to him because of their character settings often collapse in fear.

The code was too dark and extreme, and the official forced it to be returned to the furnace for rectification on the grounds of "behavioral deviation."

The rectified Si Shi often wears a smile. I heard it was because the system wanted him to look more amiable, but this appearance seems even more terrifying than before.

Obviously the probability is so small, why would they still run into it?

If he still felt that the newbie girl had a glimmer of hope just now, now there was probably none at all.

Su Mian, who hadn't said a word, had already been silently labeled "fastest to die" by everyone.

"Is it the DM from the previous instance?"

Su Mian asked 4399.

【Yes, Mian Mian, how did you see it?】

"Handwriting, exactly the same."

【Wow, as expected of the host I chose, the observation is awesome!】

4399 said excitedly.

【Running into the same DM consecutively, this probability is smaller than winning a million.】

【You should go buy a lottery ticket, Mian Mian.】

"That's not what I wanted to say."

Su Mian was speechless, "You told me in the previous instance that he doesn't care about things. I saw it, but why are these players so afraid of this... Si Shi?"

Using the Twelve Two-Hour Periods as a code name, Su Mian remembered that the arbitration hammer he held at the end of the previous instance also had snake elements.

【Uh... about this, wait until you become a high-level detective in the future, then you will have permission to view DM information...】

It stammered, afraid that the host would see the DM's data and be scared to faint.

In the previous instance, it was also out of consideration for the host's state, to put it nicely, and it didn't expect that Si Shi would really not take action against its host, and even helped Mian Mian punish the scumbag.

While the host and system were talking, the remaining two also finished their self-introductions.

"My name is Zhou Ruochuan, I pick up medicine at the pharmacy."

Zhou Ruochuan, that is, the irritable newbie just now, now looks much "tamer," but the introduction is also extremely perfunctory.

"Zhang Shuo Zhi, a relative's grandmother is sick and hospitalized, no one to take care of her, I'm taking care of her for a week on behalf of her children, and I've been living on the 21st floor of the hospital these few days."

Su Mian's face changed slightly, suppressing the strange look in her eyes.

He isn't the head of the pharmacology department?

"21st floor? Does this floor have any meaning? Both you and Su Tang are on this floor."

Wang Zeyu asked, but Zhang Shuo Zhi shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

"Alright, since the self-introductions are finished, I estimate that door can be opened."

Chen Mo stood up, covered her mouth, and yawned, looking exceptionally relaxed.

"There will be deaths within the next one to three days. Although old players know it, I'll still tell you two newbies."

"So, in these few days when the murderer acts, be sure to observe carefully."

After speaking, she pushed the door and went out. The remaining people looked at each other and left in groups.

"Qingci!"

Su Tang called her and smiled at her, her eyebrows curved.

"Which floor are you on? Let's go together."

Although Su Mian was puzzled, she still nodded.

Su Tang saw her confusion and spoke, "I see your face is pale, were you scared? Don't listen to their nonsense."

She leaned into Su Mian's ear and whispered.

"That DM isn't that scary. You're very lucky to have drawn this identity."

"Get in touch with him more, maybe you can find out more clues!"

Su Mian neither nodded nor shook her head. Su Tang's voice alone echoed in the elevator.

【Mian Mian, don't believe her, she's using you as a gun.】

Su Mian gave a short "um," indicating she knew.

The elevator stopped on the 18th floor.

This number always carries somewhat inauspicious implications in Eastern culture.

Su Tang's originally endless voice came to an abrupt end.

She subconsciously grabbed Su Mian's wrist and retreated two steps.

With a "creak," the elevator door opened.

A figure stood outside the door.

He was very tall, so tall he almost reached the top edge of the elevator door frame.

A blue and white striped hospital gown hung loosely on his body, unable to hide the solid muscle lines beneath the fabric.

The corridor where the man was located didn't have the lights on. His appearance combined with the light gave people a sense of explosive power lurking in the dark.

Red hair, mask.

DM Si Shi.

Su Mian's breathing stagnated.

Si Shi walked into the elevator, glanced at the buttons, didn't reach out to press them, and waited quietly in place for the elevator door to close.

Su Tang pinched Su Mian's arm a bit harder, looking somewhat nervous.

"I... I'm here, Qingci, let's talk next time."

The elevator stopped on the 21st floor. Su Tang rushed out in one stride, as if there were ghosts chasing behind her.

Truly agonizing. If her guess was correct, this DM, a mental patient, was probably on the same floor as her.

Su Mian's gaze couldn't help but look over, her eyes falling on the man's broad back.

"Little Porcelain Director."

A call broke the silence. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
