"It's so pitiful that he ended up in a mental hospital at such a young age! No one has come to see him for such a long time."
When such words reached the girl's ears for who knows how many times, the girl who was sitting in the wheelchair as stiff as a piece of wood finally seemed to react and rolled her eyes to look at the girl in front of her through the iron railings. Her mind was in a mess, but she felt exceptionally clear-headed.
What... is a mental hospital?
The girl in white clothes and a white hat held a record form in her hand and looked at the girl in the wheelchair who had been staring at her with pity. She slowed down her voice and asked, "Do you remember your name?"
name?
The girl blinked in confusion, not understanding why the girl in front of her asked her such a simple question. "My name is Ci, Gu Ci."
The girl opened her mouth with great effort, but found that her lips were so dry that she could hardly make a sound, as if she had not spoken for a long time.
Although she asked the girl this question every day, she knew that her question was redundant. Just when she wanted to check the box of whether she had the consciousness to speak independently as usual, the girl's voice made her stop writing.
The girl was stunned for a moment and then looked surprised when she heard the silent person speak. She quickly picked up the notebook and wrote on it, while being surprised and patient and asking the girl to repeat her name.
After making sure that she was not hallucinating, she quickly called more people.
There was an iron railing between those people and her. They looked at her in surprise, while the girl looked at them in confusion, not understanding what had happened to her that made them look at her like that.
"Hello, do you remember what happened to you? Do you remember where you are from? Why did you appear on the outskirts of the city covered in blood like a zombie? Did you fail the game?"
In the center of the crowd, there was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, holding the railing tightly in his hands and looking at the girl, his stern face full of seriousness. Others also looked at this delicate girl with curiosity, wanting to know the answers to these questions.
Gu Ci blinked his eyes and said, "I come from the world of immortal cultivation. I want to... I..."
Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, because she had no memory of what had happened to her and didn't know why she was here.
Gu Ci looked at the man in the white coat in front of him in confusion and reached out to ask something, but found that he didn't know what question he should ask.
The outstretched hand stayed in the air for two seconds before slowly being retracted and placed on the leg. However, when the hand was placed on the leg, Gu Ci realized that she was sitting in a wheelchair and she could not even feel the existence of her legs.
Seeing his confusion, the doctor in front pushed his glasses and kindly explained to Gu Ci.
"You may have cognitive confusion. Before this, you may have been clearing a pseudo-Xianxia dungeon, so you have this illusion now. But it doesn't matter. This is what happened. A year ago, you inexplicably appeared around the city and wandered for an unknown period of time. We didn't find any information about you. When we found you, your condition was very bad. You were covered in blood and attacked the citizens around you, so the authorities asked us to take you to a psychiatric hospital for treatment. After we calmed you down and treated you, we found that your legs were injured. If you do rehabilitation exercises with proper guidance, you should get better."
"But for some reason, after receiving treatment, you are like a puppet. We speculate that it may be that you suffered a great blow when completing the game, and it is a psychological problem. But what is curious is that in this year, you have not been forced into the game. This is one of the reasons why we kept you here for observation."
The doctor took out a small square object through the railing. The picture inside was of her covered in blood and going crazy. Her bloody clothes looked like she had walked out of hell.
No wonder he's in a mental hospital
Gu Ci was a little confused.
She seemed to remember everything. And it seems like I don't remember anything. I remember my name and where I came from, but when I think about everything else, it seems like a dream. I just can't remember it.
Seeing Gu Ci's appearance, the person in front sighed in disappointment and asked everyone else to leave, leaving only the young nurse who came at the beginning to accompany her and talk to her across the railing.
Fortunately, the young nurse was a trainee nurse and she quickly explained everything here to her clearly.
"The game world is a special world dominated by various survival games. No one knows when this game started. The game world is parallel to our real world. The winner of the game returns to his or her real world or waits for the next game in the game space.
"In the game world, you can work hard to earn points in exchange for resources and what you want. At the beginning, novice players can use their existing liquidity to exchange points, and the points ratio is 1:1. At the end of each round of the game, the player's score will be determined based on the player's performance and exploration level. If you are lucky, there will be a skill wheel or prop wheel lottery. The level at the end of the game determines the points ratio the player gets.
However, the game also requires the support of various props. You can choose to use points to buy the props you want in the game's system store.
The value of the props is determined by the level of the game props. However, the game store is only open before the game starts. In the game, except for the special world, other copies have only one space prop. Players need to patiently search and actively stockpile supplies.
This girl talked a lot. Even when Gu Ci mentioned some bizarre questions, the girl would be very enthusiastic to answer them.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It's even more exciting later!
Gu Ci looked up at the intern nurse and asked, "Excuse me, did you see an umbrella next to me before? It was an oil-paper umbrella."
"Oil-paper umbrella?"
The intern nurse thought about it and suddenly realized, "That beautiful umbrella is in the storage room next door. The experts also carefully checked it and found that it is just an ordinary oil-paper umbrella. Because of your condition, they didn't throw it away. I'll go get it for you now."
The little girl ran away, then ran back and handed the umbrella to Gu Ci through the small gap in the railing. Gu Ci pushed his wheelchair and struggled to raise his body to take the umbrella.
"Thanks."
The little girl smiled shyly and was about to say something when someone called out "Liang Xiao". She smiled at Gu Ci and left. Gu Ci noticed her lip movements and saw that she said see you tomorrow.
tomorrow?
Gu Ci touched his Bu Qing, tilted his head, turned the wheelchair to face the window next to him which also had iron bars welded to it, and looked into the distance.
What kind of patient would live in a room so small that people could see clearly what he was doing at a glance, and what kind of patient would be surrounded by bars like an iron cage?
And Buqing, it is clearly placed in the storage room, why is there no dust at all?
Gu Ci stroked Bu Qing and tilted his head to look at the corner. As if he remembered something, Gu Ci slowly lifted up his trouser legs.
Although his legs were smooth and had no scars, there were dried and indelible blood stains on the crotch and trouser legs, of varying sizes and depths.
Gu Ci rolled down his trouser legs and held the oil-paper umbrella, looking at a place near the door. There was an oval object flashing red light. Gu Ci couldn't help but push the wheelchair forward to look at it...
"Did the first generation of the test subject discover something?"
Those people who had just visited Gu Ci in front of the monitoring room frowned at Gu Ci's behavior.
The first generation is a very good test subject with surprisingly strong healing ability. She is almost immune to props from existing games. Although they were unable to discover anything from her, her healing ability alone was enough to earn your envy.
If they study it for a few more years, maybe there will be some results, and it will be worth their effort to capture the first generation.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Ci walking around by himself in the surveillance video with a fierce look in his eyes. "Although we don't know why the First Generation suddenly regained its consciousness, the first thing we have to do is to calm her down. If we do it again like last time, we may not be able to suppress the First Generation. Let Liang Xiao continue to watch her and make sure nothing goes wrong. Notify them to increase the dosage of the First Generation's medicine."
The middle-aged man observed the so-called first-generation Gu Ci for a while and then turned and left. No one noticed the sudden smile on Gu Ci's face as he turned his back to the surveillance camera.
Three days later, a mental hospital called Renhuai caught fire due to aging electrical circuits. The director and several doctors were trapped in the office and died. Fortunately, they were discovered early and other people in the hospital escaped in time. The mental hospital was demolished soon after due to disrepair.
It seemed that no one noticed that a person secretly named "First Generation" had escaped.
At this moment, Gu Ci was encountering the so-called system, but Gu Ci felt that his game system seemed a little different from what they described.
[Dear special player Gu Ci, would you like to enter the game? ]
Gu Ci lazily lay on the sofa listening to the voice. It was understood that when other people entered the game, a three-minute countdown appeared directly, but since she was asking in the form of inquiry, there was no three-minute countdown.
Unfortunately, Gu Ci was a rebellious person. Before he could finish his words, he waved his hand and refused, "I refuse."
[...]
The system was silent for a moment and then said politely [No, honey~Rose Rose]
"Then why are you asking me?"
Gu Ci turned over boredly and said, "I am no different from a salted fish now. Maybe if you turn me over, it will be better."
[We have received the player's request and are matching the game. Please be prepared. ]
[Dear special player, since you are a novice player, your funds will be automatically converted into points for you. However, your fund base is too large and the system mall will charge a certain fee]
! ! ? ?
What's the broken rule?
Gu Ci tilted his head slightly. Are unscrupulous businessmen doing wholesale? Is it true that the evil capitalism is only concerned with exploitation? Oh, how boring.
The system seemed to know that its previous operation was confusing. It made two "sizzling" sounds and then kicked Gu Ci into the game copy in a very serious and forceful manner.
[Special player Gu Ci chooses to enter the game!] ]
Feeling somewhat guilty, a mechanical voice rang softly beside Gu Ci's ears. Gu Ci only felt a slight flash in front of his eyes, as if he had crossed time and space, and the darkness turned into a bright paradise.
only...
Gu Ci looked at the buildings in front of her that she had never seen before with some curiosity.
The huge golden and white archway stood in front of us, shining brightly, and the surrounding black barbed fence looked particularly solemn. Between the arches, the five blood-red characters "City of Money and Desire" stand out. ,
A solemn gate, a solemn fence, and a strange city name.
Everything seemed so unusual.
Gu Ci still wanted to complain, but he was not sure whether it was necessary. Just kick me in directly. Why bother asking if I want to enter the game before that?
