Chapter 667: A Friend Is Better Than an Outsider
"Not yet, but I put together a report on the Random Instances that appeared near headquarters. There's one mental-type instance everyone can take a look at."
Nie Xuan put the file up on the big screen. "Seventeenth Hospital, a D-class Random Instance. It was the first D-class mental-type instance to appear within our borders. It was open for about four hours in total, but it had the highest death toll of all the Random Instances this time. Nearly eighty people died, including Cannibal Players and ordinary Players."
Photos appeared on the screen. They showed the scene after the instance vanished and all the corpses suddenly spilled out. Dozens of bodies lay together, each bearing different horrific injuries.
"The first people to come out of the instance were a pair of siblings surnamed A. According to them, Seventeenth Hospital was an instance combining hallucinations and a virus. It was extremely difficult, and many Players suffered mental breakdowns under its influence."
"There are two points to note. First, Xu Huo also entered that instance. Second, he underwent a mental Evolution in Flower City previously."
"Are you saying Xu Huo used his advantage and the instance to kill a large number of Players?" Team Leader Chang asked incredulously. "It was a Random Instance. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't kill that many Players all at once!"
"He may not have done it himself, but he should've been able to interfere with the others."
"Could that female Player have been helping him in secret?"
"Lichun wasn't near headquarters when the instance opened. Besides, the name of this instance is interesting: Seventeenth Hospital." Nie Xuan said, "The hospital where Xu Huo was treated for mental illness as a child was also called Seventeenth Hospital."
