Chapter 471: Cursed Hospital (9)
After leaving the nursery, Feng Bujue was in a very bad mood. He thought after completing such a high difficulty mission, at least he would be rewarded with a perfect quality equipnt or sothing but he only got a plot item...
Na: al Card
Type: Plot Item
Quality: normal
Function: Can be used to purchase a set of work al at the hospital 1f cafeteria
Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: An employee card for the workers at Xue Song Jun Public Hospital. The card needs to be topped up with money by the workers at the cafeteria themselves.
“Completing the side quest earns a plot item that cannot be turned into a puzzle card, so this ans... this thing will be necessary to complete another side quest.” Feng Bujue analysed. “After paying such a horrible price, I only got this card, I couldn’t just throw it away... so I will have to go and trigger another quest that will use this thing...” He put the al card away and sighed. “This scenario looks like you are free to do nothing but actually it is filled to the brim with side quests.”
“He he he...” The laughter rang again as if signalling for the player to keep moving.
“Room 125 is it...” Brother Jue followed the voice and soon ca to the door of a pediatric sickroom. He glanced at the door number and then reached for the door. The door wasn’t locked and opened easily. For that few seconds, Brother Jue was worried that the notification, ‘the door is locked’ might pop up and he would go and find another key sowhere else.
...
“he he... uncle, you’re finally here.” The girl sat at the edge of the bed. Her face was still covered by her curtain of hair and the red dress popped in the darkness.
“Ah... yes.” Feng Bujue said, “Based on our promise, I’m here to help comb your hair.”
The girl slowly stood up and walked around the bed to the dresser. She pulled open the drawer to take out a large mirror with a large fra. She moved very slowly and every move gave off a strange presence. And it only made people more curious... what she looked like.
After fixing the mirror, the girl found a chair and sat down. She turned her face to the mirror and behind the long hair ca the airy voice, “I wish to have a hair braid.”
“Oh... Sure.” Feng Bujue took out the comb from his pocket. “Since you have such long hair... how about two braids?”
“Okay.” The girl’s tone dropped icier for so reason. If this was a horror movie, the atmosphere was already pitched at a point that sothing scary was about to happen...
At this point, everyone knew that when the girl’s hair was parted away, sothing bad would happen. Feng Bujue naturally knew that as well but he did not mind it since his Terror Points would not fluctuate, so he had nothing to worry about. Brother Jue took big steps to stop behind the girl and placed his hands before the girl’s forehead. When his fingers reached into her hair, a chill run through his fingers...
Without hesitation, Feng Bujue parted the hair away. The next second, he saw an extrely scary face in the mirror. The girl appeared human but her face had a scale like skin. She had 8 eight eyes, 4 on each sides, going down vertically. And she had no nose, her mouth had no lips but two rows of fangs. Since there was no light in the room, Feng Bujue placed the flashlight on the table and aid it at the girl. With the light shining from that angle, even a human face would appear scary much less a monster’s face. But Feng Bujue was unfazed. Like nothing was out of place, he helped the girl comb her hair.
“Uncle, do you like to listen to stories?” At that mont, the girl suddenly spoke.
“Sure...” Feng Bujue answered calmly, but his mind was thinking. [Another side mission? Or... a further reveal of the plot?]
“Then how about I tell you a story?” The girl continued.
“Go ahead....” Feng Bujue said, “I am very slow at this combing stuff.” When he said ‘very slow’, he ant ‘he had no idea how to do it’...
Obviously, a man who would take an hour to tie his shoelace wouldn’t know how to braid a person’s hair. Actually Brother Jue’s mind had gone blank when the girl said she wanted her hair braided. The suggestion of a double braid was just a thod to draw out ti...
“A long ti ago, this place wasn’t a hospital...” The girl began.
[Well, that is not a good start...] Just that first half of a sentence caused Feng Bujue to mock. [You’re not going to tell this place used to be a cetery, right?]
“...but a cetery.” The girl confird his thought.
[Just how cliched can this get?] Feng Bujue thought.
“According to rumors, it was a desecrated land.” The girl continued. “The souls that were buried here will never find peace. And those who wander here for too long will have misfortune befall them...”
[Then who the hell decided to build a hospital here?] Feng Bujue shouted internally.
“One day, a greedy man ca here...” The girl said, “he used illegal governnt funding and forcibly claim the use of this cursed land with a cheap price... and wiped out the cetery to build this hospital.”
“Okay... I seems to understand many things now...” feng Bujue added.
“The hospital took a long ti to build and many accidents happened during the construction. The team had been swapped many tis but the greedy man did not care about it and insisted on his plan to build the hospital.” The girl continued. “Finally, the hospital was done. This cursed land beca a cursed hospital. Every day... many people stepped into this desecrated plot that they should never have stepped into...” She paused. “So of them manage to leave but others... can’t. And even for those who left... the shadow of misfortune will follow them for a long ti, like an invisible energy eventually drawing them back to this place...”
The girl’s airy voice beca more gravelly as the story continued and her tone slowly got laced... with hatred and resentnt.
