Chapter 56 Incident

 The front yard area of ​​the clinic and the external forest show only trace signs of ash and no living creatures appear.

 The two of them temporarily hid under a broken tree in the front yard.

Observing the main building of the clinic, which is covered in moonlight silver and with gray air currents constantly escaping from the surface.

 As if the moon is like a spotlight, the clinic is its main illuminated target.

After a period of observation, Yi Chen whispered his doubts.

“The longer I observe, the more unfamiliar the clinic exposed to the moonlight becomes. It is completely different from the clinic we explored during the day...it seems to have become bigger, deeper, and there is an indescribable violation. A sense of harmony.”

Edmund immediately added: "Active, isn't it?"

“Yes, that’s the feeling...it seems like the whole building is slowly coming back to life, like a living thing. If you walk in from the front door, it’s like walking into the body of a monster.”

 Edmund explained simply:

 “That’s what ashing does.

According to rumors, in the gray areas that have been formed, the landform structure, or the buildings left by humans will be greatly changed, and some unreasonable areas will even appear.

These areas are more like living bodies, squirming, crawling, and even swallowing all intruders.

 The graying situation inside the clinic has become quite serious. I estimate that within a week, this place will officially become a thin gray area. "

Hearing this explanation, Yi Chen became even more confused.

“I have a question…when we came here tomorrow, there was no sign of graying.

 Why does the graying reach this level late at night? Isn’t there something excessive in the middle? "

However,

The question Yi Chen asked also troubled Edmund, and he had been thinking about it while observing under the tree.

 Biting his nails, he made a bold guess:

 “To be honest, [greying] will not stop.

This degree of graying definitely did not happen just now, it has been at least seven days.

 I suspect that all this has something to do with the 'moon'... Perhaps due to the appearance of the moon, the two of us were brought into the same [space]. "

 Such speculation reminded Yi Chen of a game setting in the world when he was alive.

 “The world inside and outside?

Is it possible that only the two of us were affected by the moonlight and were taken [inside]?

 Dagbert and Miss Anna were not affected and remained on the [surface]?

 In this case, the problem of sudden disappearance can be explained. "

When he came to this more likely conjecture, Edmund's face became extremely ugly.

“If this is the case, we will most likely die here.

 A being who can create [the same space] and has the characteristics of the moon is at least a severely ill person, even close to being an open source... He is an important person who has not been cleared up in the "False Moon Incident". "

at this time,

Little Grape suddenly jumped out, waving his hands and his eyes full of excitement!

“It’s really interesting~ In this case, maybe there will be ‘moon grapes’ to eat! You should work hard and search for the guy who created the ‘moon’.

 Ben Tao agrees very much with the speculation you just made. "

Little Putao’s slightly humorous language slightly eased the tense atmosphere.

Yi Chen also followed this speculation and continued to raise his doubts.

“If there really is such a strong person, when we are in the clinic and when we killed the patients on the rooftop just now, the other party can come out and kill us.

 In fact, nothing appeared,

 Things about [co-space] are just our current speculations.

certainly! If there really are two overlapping dimensions, maybe the "remaining secret medicine" is here.

 Let's go and take a look inside the clinic. "

"Hmm~ But we must keep an eye on it! Once we investigate enough clues to prove that there is a terrifying existence behind the clinic that is far stronger than us, we will immediately terminate the mission and rush to the meeting point of the carriage."

"Um."

 The two of them set off,

Using the isolation and concealment provided by clothing, quietly approach the main entrance of the main building

Yi Chen is in front, Edmund is behind,

 It is worth noting that

Although moonlight can be projected into the interior of the clinic, providing sufficient light.

 But the two of them still lit the kerosene lamp,

The fire produced by combustion can not only dispel the darkness, but also isolate the "moonlight" that is not right.

 When they stepped into the lobby on the first floor,

Both of them froze on the spot, seemingly unable to accept the scene in front of them.

  【Gray-Erosion】

 The transformation taking place within the clinic is far beyond what either man could have imagined.

  1. There are some small holes and abscess tissue on the wall surface, and liquid is constantly flowing out of them.

  2. The elevator opposite that should have been broken has been completely repaired. However, the elevator is painted dark red, and with the lights inside, it looks like a big blood-red mouth, waiting for prey to enter.

  3. There is a [nurse] sitting at the counter, wearing a clean nurse uniform and a white hat, but with a bandage on her face.

Tick ​​tick~

 blood was constantly seeping out from between the bandages, reflecting a "bloody face with an open mouth"

This nurse does not have any fingernails, instead they have slender needles drilled from the tips of her fingers.

  Zhizhi~ is scraping the tabletop regularly, making an extremely harsh sound.

Upon seeing this, Yi Chen and Edmund also took out their weapons at the same time and approached the counter.

at this time

The nurse suddenly spoke, and more blood seeped out of the mouth bandage:

“Welcome to [Moonlight Clinic], I have been waiting for you here for a long time.

You were able to calmly and decisively avoid Dr. Ma Lin's ward rounds, and then killed Dr. Francis on the rooftop... Your agility and bravery have been recognized by Mr. Lee.

As the person in charge of the Moonlight Clinic, he wants to meet with you. There are some things that need to be discussed in person, and he may even give you some special rewards.

 If you refuse to meet,

 You will be trapped forever in the [Moonlight Space] created by Mr. Li, who is the closest thing to the "Moon Mark".

 At the same time, our clinic will dispatch all the staff to pursue you endlessly...until you are deprived of mobility, and then perform whole-body transformation surgery on you. "

While Edmund was still hesitating,

Yi Chen gently put his arm on his shoulder and whispered:

“Our conjecture is correct, the existence of a certain [severely ill person] created this co-location space. And the two of us were drawn in for some unknown reason.

What the nurse just said is enough to show that they were well aware of our actions from the beginning.

 They chose to test their strength instead of killing us directly... Obviously there is a certain 'demand' for us.

 Choosing ‘meet’ is the only chance of survival.

I have experience in communicating and cooperating with patients, so I will be responsible for the next meeting. 』

"OK…"

With no better option, Edmund had no choice but to agree.

Yi Chen took a step forward, put his arm on the counter casually, and glanced at the nurse sister.

 “Please lead the way.”

 “Okay, please follow me.”

The nurse limped into the elevator that was glowing with crimson lights.

The right panel of the elevator is covered with bubble-shaped buttons, and the numbers engraved on them are all negative numbers.
