0062 The Hanged Man

Chen An "???"

Could Liu be my teammate in the first game?

Chen An's pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing became slightly rapid, and his mind was filled with confusion and...

Horrified!

"Why Liu Neng?"

Chen An murmured to himself.

"What's wrong?"

Miao Luoying looked at Chen An in confusion.

"Liu Neng..." Chen An swallowed and said, "He was my teammate in the last game!"

"What?"

Miao Luoying's pupils also shrank slightly, and she said quickly:

"Your first game also ended three days ago?"

"right."

"mine too."

"I'm sure that my teammate is named Liu Neng, but the Liu Neng in my first game is older than this little Liu...and..."

Chen An swallowed and spit.

"The Liu Neng I know probably didn't leave the first game alive."

Miao Luoying's face was also a little surprised and confused.

"Double name?"

Chen An shook his head: "They are all ordinary, the type that you can't find if you throw them into a crowd."

After a while, he decided not to discuss this anymore.

There's no time to waste.

Miao Luoying pursed her lips: "Let's go to the canteen you mentioned first. I also have some discoveries that I want to tell you."

Chen An nodded and tiptoed downstairs with Miao Luoying.

Walking through the silent corridor on the first floor, they arrived at the gate at the junction of the South District and the North District.

Behind the door, until facing the big iron gate of the North District, behind the door that looks like a prison cage, there are answers to many questions.

There is so much ferocity and terror.

Chen An took a deep breath and pointed to the low bungalow on the side.

"That's probably the canteen. If I swipe the card to open the door, I might attract people from the hospital. Once the door is opened, there will be no way back for us."

Miao Luoying suppressed the anger in her heart.

"It should be the canteen? It should be?"

Chen An's mouth twitched: "Ah, probably."

"After you wake me up from the [wall-facing] state, there is no turning back."

Miao Luoying said calmly.

When Chen An heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, but directly took out the employee card and swiped it on the access control.

Didi didi...

As the crisp and short bell rang, the light above the access control turned green.

The door is also opened.

Chen An and Miao Luoying ran out immediately.

Their target is very direct, that low bungalow!

The bungalow is called a bungalow, but in fact it is quite large. The walls here are made of gray-white bricks, and the iron door at the door is also very worn, as if no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Chen An felt a little strange.

I also came to this square when I was at work. Why do I remember it... I obviously knew that there was such a storage room for sundries, but I never paid attention to it.

"I often come here when I go for a walk." Miao Luoying looked at the rusty iron door and said, "But I have never paid attention to this house."

Chen An nodded: "Me too, maybe people will subconsciously ignore this canteen during the day, but this effect will not exist at night."

"Open the door directly?" Miao Luoying asked.

Chen An hesitated and said, "Do you have any other means of protecting yourself? I don't know what's inside yet."

Miao Luoying shook her head.

"Mutants with the path of the twisted eye, when they are at the grotesque level, will use their own subconscious and mind. My ability is divination and has no actual combat ability."

"Divination? Can you guess the bad luck inside?"

Miao Luoying shook her head again and reached out to push the door open.

"There's no need to waste spiritual energy. Whether it's bad or good, don't you have to go in? The fact that you brought me here shows that you have your confidence. I've told you all about my abilities. I'll leave the battle to you."

Chen An had no time to stop Miao Luoying,

There was no time to tell her, "I really don't know anything."

The door has already been pushed open.

With the sound of the iron scraping against the floor, the world inside the door surprised the two of them.

Because it was dark inside, with dilapidated debris everywhere, covered with thick dust, there were some spider webs in the corners, and the ground was covered with fragments of glass and paper.

"Are you sure this is the canteen?"

Miao Luoying pinched her nose and coughed twice. The smell of dust here was too choking.

Chen An scratched his head, walked in, closed the door and turned on the flashlight.

"Indeed, but I also smelled the aroma of food before."

Chen An and Miao Luoying used flashlights to completely illuminate this small place, but no matter how much they searched, they couldn't detect anything "weird" about it.

There are large containers and medical equipment everywhere, and they all look like they have been there for many years.

"Something's wrong."

Chen An suddenly paused and said:

"Looking at this building from the outside, the space inside is much more than that."

"you mean?"

Chen An walked to the wall near the east and gently knocked twice.

"It's solid. It shouldn't be. There should be room in this direction."

Miao Luoying also came over.

"But there is no door in this whole row, and there is no other entrance from the outside."

Chen An was thinking.

"Could it be that we don't meet the conditions for entry?"

Miao Luoying's eyes flickered and she said:

"This canteen does not exist in the eyes of the hospital."

Chen An was stunned for a moment, then continued:

"Because infected people will abide by the hospital's rules. The first is to firmly believe it, and the second is not to come here at night."

Miao Luoying said: "So... you and I are not infected now, can't we see the cafeteria? Similar to... this house will automatically ignore us during the day. Can we guess the entrance to the cafeteria?

Is this also the case?"

Chen An suddenly said: "I understand!"

Immediately afterwards, he quickly told Miao Luoying in detail what happened to him, including the note left by Dr. Zhao that he found in the storage room.

Miao Luoying's eyes lit up.

"Good job. The information on that note is very useful. It means that the cafeteria may be able to treat people with mild infections, which means..."

Chen Andao: "Only infected people can see the canteen."

"Then the question is, do we need to become infected?"

"How can you awaken your original thoughts after being infected? This is gambling."

Chen An had a headache.

"You can't use your method of facing the wall anymore, and my method can't be used for the time being."

He looked around at the dark, silent and dusty containers.

"We can't keep waiting like this."

Chen An sighed.

Miao Luoying said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you about the clues I found first."

Miao Luoying looked at Chen An. She had a fluffy afro and freckles on her face. Her appearance was ordinary, but Chen An noticed that her eyes were very bright.

Those are the kind of light blue eyes.

Miao Luoying untied the hospital gown on her body, and when Chen An turned away with a blush, she generously untied a small pocket from the inside of the clothes, near her waist.

"Look at this," she said.

Chen An looked over and saw an extra card in Miao Luoying's hand.

"What's this?"

"Tarot, Major Arcana, 22 main cards in total."

Miao Luoying shuffled the tarot cards in her hands casually.

"I bought it in Soft City Inner City. It's quite expensive. It costs 200 story points."

"You went to Sodu very quickly."

"Oh, you've already entered such a terrifying game. How can you survive the first game without any brains?"

Miao Luoying chuckled lightly and said: "It's not difficult to set the rules of Tieba. Just find the rules, infer and summarize. In this kind of world, every second cannot be wasted. I don't believe that I can really return to reality.

Besides, the rules of Tieba clearly explain the ordinary posts and the essence posts. It is necessary to quickly get to the essence posts.

Who knows what will happen next?

If I take my time and just go to the essence post the next day like an old man, I won’t be able to get all the mutation enhancements, and I’ll probably be completely infected as soon as I enter the game.”

Chen An blinked his eyes.

I always felt that Miao Luoying was scolding me.

At this moment, Miao Luoying had shuffled the cards. She took off her hospital gown directly. Chen An just wanted to get out of the way, but found that she was wearing a light white corset underneath, with only her lower abdomen, shoulders and arms exposed. .

Miao Luoying put the hospital gown on the chair nearby as a tablecloth, and then placed the tarot cards in her hands on it one by one.

"What are you doing? Divination?" Chen An asked.

Miao Luoying nodded.

"According to what you said, the strange origin of this story world comes from the patient from thirty years ago.

I'm trying to use divination to find information about it."

"Does this stuff really work?"

Chen An's eyes were a little suspicious.

"Ignoring whether it is useful in the real world, can you explain everything that happens after becoming a player? This is the ability of my path."

Miao Luoying didn't talk nonsense anymore.

She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes slightly, and after a while, revealed a card based on her first instinct.

Chen An looked over nervously.

That's a strange card.

On the card, there is a man.

A man wearing blue clothes, a belt, and orange pants hangs upside down from a tree.

Behind his head is a glowing sun, with his hands behind his back, one leg upright, and the other leg folded under the upright leg.

Surrounded by a vast white landscape, there are leaves dotting the edge of the blind spot.

"The Hanged Man."

Miao Luoying read it calmly, but at this moment, her hands were trembling slightly!

Then... her pupils were a little dazed, a little foam appeared at the corners of her mouth, her face was in pain, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground!

"The Hanged Man?"

Chen An repeated it with some confusion, and then, he suddenly understood something.

"The man standing upside down!" Chen An exclaimed.

Then, he noticed something strange about Miao Luoying and quickly supported her.

"The problem was found..."

Miao Luoying's voice was a little weak, but her eyes were bright.

"How are you feeling? Is your body okay?"

"It's been counterattacked, which is a good thing. It means that my divination pointed in the right direction."

Chen An breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, the source of the strangeness, that patient, was the first person to have [Handstand] symptoms thirty years ago, right?"

Chen An's expression relaxed a lot, and he continued: "In this case, when we investigate again, we will have a target when looking for cases."

Miao Luoying's eyes drifted to Chen An.

"No more?" Her voice was a little cold, with a little doubt.

Chen An glanced at her: "What else?"

Miao Luoying looked at Chen An with complicated eyes.

After a while, she slowly said:

"Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know?

Now I wonder how someone like you survived the first game.

Don’t you know that the 22 cards in the Tarot deck also represent 22 paths of mutation and strengthening?”
