Information Lockdown, Ghost Horde Night Attack

Late at night, all the curtains in the Third Floor ward of the hospital were drawn.

The patient on the hospital bed was tightly bound with countless rubber straps, and the sheets were completely stained red with blood; he was dead.

Under the dim incandescent light on the ceiling.

The ground and walls were covered in shocking bloodstains.

It resembled a large-scale murder scene.

The air was filled with a fishy, foul odor that would make most people feel nauseous; no one could stay in such an environment for even a second longer.

The Hospital Director sat in an armchair, covered in blood, his hands trembling, his face deathly pale, looking as grotesque as a Dead Man. He muttered, "Is... this really an illness?"

"It's an illness... but it's not an illness..."

"It's a ghost... it really is a ghost..."

"I... I actually... did this..."

"Haha... ha..." A low, self-deprecating voice.

"I'm a... devil too..."

At this moment, the Hospital Director's mental state was already showing signs of problems, and he was clearly on the verge of collapse.

In contrast to the abnormal Hospital Director, Du Lingran sat in a dark corner of the ∞ Room, holding a small notebook and writing rapidly with a pen, looking very energetic, with a cold Killing Intent in his eyes.

The Killing Intent was so intense that ordinary people couldn't even look at it!

"The enemy in this Game: the Oni."

"The patient may experience mental health issues, including going insane, before death."

"After death, there are two states: true death and resurrection."

"After resurrection, the demon's power is stronger than in its original state, estimated to be between 1.2 and 1.7 times stronger. However, there is too little data to confirm this."

"The weaknesses of demons: 1. They fear sunlight. If exposed to sunlight, their bodies will rot severely and Fatality."

2. It fears fire, but it is not Fatality; only prolonged burning can kill it.

3. The body will not die after being injured; it may even slowly heal. The only confirmed physical method of killing it at this stage is to cut off its head, which will result in immediate death.

4. No Drugs that could cause the effect were found; Drugs- induced immunity.

5. They fall into a deep sleep between 5 a. m. and 8 p. m. every day, meaning they can only be active during the 9 hours at night.

6. If a large-scale attack were to occur on humans at night, no individual human could withstand it. However, no large-scale attack has occurred so far, indicating that certain conditions must be met. This is suspected to be what Sakamoto referred to as "accepting the invitation," but this is pending and cannot be verified.

7. A mentally ill person is not a ghost, but their level of danger is even higher than that of a "ghost".

8. The ghost appears to be unable to use any weapons, while the patient can use weapons; this is pending.

8. Special Item obtained from Temple are extremely Fatality against ghosts; whether similar Special Item exist Unknown.

These are the conclusions that Du Lingran and the Hospital Director reached through a day of experiments and reasoning.

This Game is truly haunted, haunted by ghosts that you can see and touch.

However, these ghosts are physically strong and difficult to kill, so defeating them is extremely difficult.

That's nothing compared to the crucial point: now that the Game is on its fifth day, there are probably close to 100 of these ghosts.

In other words, it is not something a single Player can defeat.

Du Lingran and said, "Is the key to this Game to unite the townspeople?"

"The earlier you contact them, the higher your chances of winning. Conversely, in the final stages of the Game, when the number of ghosts reaches a certain point, the Player will face certain death!"

"Hehehe... surviving for 15 days..."

"It's clearly a huge trap. If you do absolutely nothing and just find a spot to hold out, no Player can survive for 15 days..."

"But even if we try to unite the residents, will anyone really believe such an absurd thing?"

"I'm afraid I'll just be treated like Madman..."

"It's... it's incredibly difficult..."

Du Lingran made significant progress in the Game, and it can be said that he found the most crucial information for winning the Game.

But precisely because of this, his pressure only increased.

Because the enemy we are facing now seems to be invincible.

It was as if the person inside the box knew of its existence, but felt so small and powerless!

I thought I could surpass Sakamoto's progress in the Game, but now I'm completely stuck and can't move forward.

Recalling Sakamoto's actions these past few days, including establishing good relationships with the NPCs from the very beginning, Du Lingran frowned and said, "Could it be... that he already knew this information?"

"No, no, no... He only knows part of the story, otherwise he probably would have already started his counterattack. Even if he wanted to gain the exclusive Points, he wouldn't put himself in such a risk!"

"He also lacks crucial information!"

"Wait, could it be that he already knew about the existence of ghosts, knew that he couldn't defeat them, but didn't know how to kill them?!"

Upon realizing this, Du Lingran was completely stunned.

If that's the case, it means that if he and Sakamoto genuinely sit down together and share the resources and information they obtain, it's actually quite possible for them to successfully complete this Game!!!

"Hateful..."

Thinking of this, Du Lingran cursed under his breath.

It's simply impossible for him to team up with Sakamoto!

In Death Game, two novices might even team up.

However, Du Lingran was no novice, and neither was Sakamoto.

This was their first time meeting in Death Game.

Among countless experiences in Death Game, there is one absolute rule.

That is, the Death Game Player themselves are the most dangerous.

Betrayal among Player is common, and backstabbing happens in every Game.

You might feel guilty for killing one person, but when you kill to a certain extent, to the point where it's as easy as breathing, you stop caring about human lives.

Therefore, it can be said that every veteran Player is a psychologically unstable serial killer!

However, if you are driven mad by the Game, completely lose your mind, and become addicted to it, you are actually closer to death.

In a way, the Death Game is also a Game that severely tests one's psychological resilience...

In the end, the Game is about the loss of emotion and absolute rationality.

Sometimes Du Lingran would ponder the meaning of the existence of Death Game.

What is the purpose of this illogical existence?

What exactly is the purpose of selecting these people?

Du Lingran, at least for now, doesn't know.

My only goal now is to survive.

Player have played a certain number of Death Game either use other Player as pawns or as their own weapons, dominating Game Player Game.

Or, like Du Lingran, you could solo it.

The current situation is...

Without cooperation, there will be no progress in the Game in a short time; if we cooperate, we might face the possibility of being abandoned by Sakamoto...

At this moment Du Lingran felt that the situation was unsolvable.

After all, what he currently possesses is merely intelligence, not any tangible substance.

As for Special Item, their help is actually limited; they certainly can't kill that many ghosts!

Du Lingran very hesitant and upset right now.

Despite seemingly possessing absolutely crucial intelligence, they were unable to utilize it to its fullest potential.

The more you think about it, the more unfathomable Sakamoto seems, with an extremely deep and scheming mind.

On the Third Day, Sakamoto reminded himself not to accept any invitations from anyone.

Looking back now, it's likely that Sakamoto had other important matters to attend to and couldn't manage the hospital line, so he didn't want to die and wanted me to help him obtain potentially crucial information.

In other words, everything I'm doing now is part of Sakamoto's plan!

I'm completely being led by the nose by the other person!

And the more this happened, the less Du Lingran dared to trust Sakamoto...

"Damn it, I'll definitely find another way to beat this Game..."

"Sakamoto, if you waste a few more days, even if you get help from the NPCs, you'll lose your edge as more and more Dead Man!"

"Let's see who can actually beat this Game!"

Du Lingran spoke, he stood up, walked to the doctor's side, patted the dazed Courtyard, and said, "Hospital Director, you must hold on. If you collapse, everyone in the town will really die."

"Get some rest today, I'll keep watch. Tomorrow we'll go find the Town Mayor and the Security Post officers together, and persuade them to join forces to fight the ghost!"

Upon hearing this, the Hospital Director, his face deathly pale, finally lifted to look at Du Lingran. After a moment, he nodded blankly and said, "Well... well... that's the only way..."

"I... can't fall down yet..." As the Hospital Director spoke, his gaze became more and more determined, which made Du Lingran breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Hospital Director, Hospital Director, I need something!"

The ward door was completely locked, and the windows were covered with paper, meaning that no one outside could see into the ∞ Room.

After all, the scene inside the hospital ward is not something a normal person can accept.

The person knocking on the door at that moment was Xiao Rou, the only remaining staff member in the hospital, who had been steadfastly working there with almost no rest.

Seeing that the Hospital Director looked exhausted, Du Lingran walked to the door and asked, "Xiao Rou, what's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Xiao Rou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, knowing that the Hospital Director and Du Lingran were alright. She then said, "I just received a phone call from Hunter Zhang's Wife in town."

"Haven't there been wolves around our Town lately?"

"Hunter Zhang went hunting today, but was attacked by wolves on his way back last night. He survived, but his left leg was badly bitten and is bleeding heavily. He's in very serious condition and is asking if the Hospital Director is there. He's extremely anxious and needs immediate treatment."

Du Lingran hearing this.

My heart skipped a beat, my back went numb, and my eyes reddened. I immediately roared, "How did you answer that?!"

Xiao Rou, standing outside the door, was startled by Du Lingran's sudden shout. After a moment of silence, she seemed at a loss and anxiously said, "I said the Hospital Director is here. Don't delay the treatment. Bring Zhang Liehu over right now..."

"Damn it!" Du Lingran cursed before Xiao Rou could finish speaking.

He ignored Xiao Rou and ran to the window, pulling back a sliver of the curtain.

On a moonless night, in the hospital Courtyard, under the only dim light, stood a man in blue overalls who happened to look up and meet Du Lingran's gaze.

Then he flashed a bright smile, placed his hand on his eyebrow, and waved it forward in a greeting gesture.

"Go! Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

Then... following his command.

From the darkness behind him, nearly a hundred ghosts, swarming in, suddenly charged wildly towards the hospital...

We must kill and tear everyone in the hospital to pieces!
