Chapter Fifty-Six: Change

The forecourt area of the clinic and the surrounding forest show only trace signs of ashing and there is no live infestation.

The two temporarily hid under a broken tree in the front yard,

Observe the main building of the clinic, which is dressed in moonlight and silver, with a constant flow of gray air on the surface.

It's as if the moon is like a spotlight, and the clinic is its main target.

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

"The longer I looked at it, the more I felt that the clinic exposed to the moonlight became unfamiliar, like the clinic we explored during the day...... It seems to be getting bigger, deeper, and there is an indescribable sense of disobedience. ”

Edmund immediately picked up, "Active, huh?" ”

"Yes, that's what it feels like...... It seems that the whole building is slowly recovering, and it feels like a living thing. If you want to walk in through the main entrance, it's like walking into the body of a monster. ”

Edmund explained it simply:

"That's what ashing does.

It is rumored that between the gray areas that have been formed, the geomorphological structure, or the buildings left by human beings will change drastically, and even some irrational areas will appear.

These areas are more like living organisms, squirming, crawling, and even devouring all intruders.

The ashing inside the clinic is already quite serious, and I estimate that it will not take more than a week for this place to officially become a thin ash field. ”

Hearing such an explanation, Yi Chen was even more puzzled.

"I have a question...... When we came during the day, there was no sign of ashing.

Why is it that in the middle of the night, the ashing has reached this level? Isn't there an excess? ”

however

The question given by Yi Chen also bothered Edmund, and he had been thinking about it during the time he was observing under the tree.

Biting his nails, he made a bold guess:

"To be reasonable, [ashing] will not stop.

This level of ashing is definitely not new, at least seven days have passed.

I suspect it all has something to do with the 'moon'...... Perhaps due to the appearance of the moon, the two of us were brought into a [co-position space]. ”

Such speculation reminded Yi Chen of a game setting in his lifetime world,

"The world inside and outside?

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

Dagbert and Miss Anna were unaffected and remained on the surface?

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

At the time of this more probable speculation, Edmund's face became extremely ugly.

"If that's the case, there's a good chance we'll die here.

Able to create [co-location space], an existence with the characteristics of the moon, at least a seriously ill person, even very close to open source...... An important person who has not been cleaned up in the 'False Moon Incident'. ”

At this moment,

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

"It's really interesting~ In this case, maybe there will be 'moon grapes' to eat! You need to work hard to find out who created the 'moon'.

This grape agrees with your speculation. ”

Little Grape's slightly witty language eased the tension slightly,

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 kill the patient on the rooftop just now, the other party can come out and kill us.

In fact, nothing appeared,

There is something about [co-location space], which is only our current speculation,

Of course! If there really are two overlapping spaces, maybe the "Legacy Elixir" is here.

Let's go, let's take a look inside the clinic. ”

"Hmm~ However, you must keep an eye on it! Once we've found enough clues to prove that there's a terrifying presence behind the clinic that's far stronger than ours, we'll immediately terminate the mission and rush to the meeting point of the wagon. ”

"Hmm."

The two of them set off,

With the isolation and concealment provided by clothing, he quietly approached the main entrance of the main building

Yi Chen in front, Edmund in the back,

It is worth noting that

Although the moonlight can be projected onto the interior of the clinic, it provides enough light.

But the two still lit kerosene lamps,

The light of the fire produced by the combustion not only dispels the darkness, but also separates the 'moonlight' that is not quite right.

When they stepped into the hall on the first floor,

Both froze in place, seemingly unable to accept the sight in front of them.

【Gray-Erosion】

The transformation that is taking place inside the clinic is far beyond the imagination of the two.

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

2. The elevator that should have been broken on the opposite side was completely repaired, but the elevator was painted crimson, and with the internal lighting, it was like a blood-red mouth, waiting for the prey to enter.

3. There is a [nurse] sitting at the counter, wearing a clean nurse uniform and a white hat, but her face is wrapped in bandages.

Tick~

Blood was constantly oozing from between the bandages, reflecting a 'bloody face with an open mouth'

The nurse didn't have any fingernails, instead had a slender needle drilled through the end of her finger.

Squeak~ is scraping the desktop very regularly, making an extremely harsh sound.

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

That's when it happened

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

"Welcome to [Moonlight Clinic], I've been waiting for you here for a long time.

You were able to calmly and decisively avoid Dr. Marlene's rounds, and then kill Dr. Francis on the rooftop...... Your agility and courage have been recognized by Mr. Lee.

As the person in charge of the Moonshine Clinic, he wants to meet with you, there are some things that need to be discussed face-to-face, and he will 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 Moonmark.

At the same time, our clinic will also dispatch all staff to launch an endless hunt for you...... Until you are deprived of mobility, you will be subjected to a full-body modification operation. ”

While Edmund was still hesitating,

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

"Our speculation is correct, the existence of a suspected [seriously ill] has created this colocation space. And the two of us were dragged in for some unknown reason.

The nurse's words just now are enough to show that they knew our actions well from the beginning,

They chose to test our strength rather than kill us outright...... Obviously, there is a certain 'demand' for us.

Choosing to 'meet' is the only chance to survive,

I've had experience working with patients, so I'll be in charge of the next meeting."

"...... Walk"

There was no better option, and Edmund had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

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

"Excuse me, lead the way."

"Okay, please come with me."

The nurse limped into the elevator that glowed crimson.

The right panel of the elevator is covered with buttons in the form of meat bubbles, and the numbers engraved on them are all negative.
