005. It's time to take your medicine
"So, Xiaohong, your mission is to get me out of here?"
Qiao Du immediately asked again.
“...... Little Red? ”
Su Hong was stunned, no one had ever called him that.
But it was important to solve the current problem, he didn't care so much, and spoke directly.
"My mission is to solve the problems here, and of course, to take you out, what is your mission, maybe this is the key to getting out of here."
Su Hong was almost certain that it was Qiao Dui's task that prevented the normal disappearance of [Madhouse], and helping him complete the task to really solve the problem.
"My mission? Enough to be here, uh, maybe two days, yes, it keeps me alive, it feels kind of nonsense. ”
Qiao Du didn't hide it.
Hearing his words, Su Hong quickly calculated in his mind and got a very terrifying answer.
"No, it can't be...... How could there be such a task? ”
"What? It's really simple, isn't it, it's a novice mission after all. ”
Qiao Du asked curiously.
"No...... It's impossible to accomplish this task. ”
Su Hong hesitated for a moment before continuing to explain.
"This anomaly is called the Asylum, and before that, the longest recorded duration of its existence was seven days, which means that any objective entity who spends a maximum of seven days here will be completely corrupted by pollution and become a part of it."
"In other words, Qiao Dui, it is impossible to stay here for ten days without any alienation, or even just to live."
"It's a mortal mission."
After listening to Su Hong's words, Qiao Dui's expression was serious.
He thought about it, suddenly raised his hand, touched Su Hong's forehead, and touched his own.
"I don't have a fever."
“......”
Su Hong was speechless.
If being choked by Qiao Du would cause him to sink, then he estimated that he should have sunk to a depth of one hundred and eighty since he came in.
He cleared his throat and continued.
"But you are special, your depth should be constant above the surface of the sea, you can't see the existence in those abysses, therefore, nothing here can hurt you, you can spend ten days here in peace, until the mission is over."
"Yay!"
Qiao Du clapped her hands and said again.
"In that case, then let's stay here in peace, have food, drink and a place to sleep, and it will be fine in two days."
“...... Truly. ”
Su Hong was silent for a moment and did not deny Qiao Dui's words.
Although according to the current official records of the [Madhouse], no objective entity has been able to come out of it untouched, but now that this place is affected by Qiao Dui's Chosen Mission, they may really be able to leave safely after Qiao Dui's mission is completed.
"Wait, there's a problem."
Qiao Du suddenly spoke, which alerted Su Hong.
"What?"
Su Hong hurriedly looked around, worried that something strange would run out.
"According to Xiaohong, these bookshelves, hospitals, and patients are all monsters in your eyes, so is it possible for you to accidentally expose your stuffing and be captured by them?"
Qiao Du looked at Su Hong with some concern.
“...... That's true. ”
Su Hong nodded thoughtfully.
"Then I have a solution."
Qiao Dushen mysteriously approached and whispered to Su Hong.
"I'll knock you out with one punch for two days, lest you expose yourself then, and when the time comes, I'll wake you up again, and let's leave together, isn't it perfect?"
“......”
The corners of Su Hong's mouth twitched, and she resisted the urge to knock Qiao Duan unconscious two days later, and patiently explained.
"First of all, people are more susceptible to these anomalous monsters when they are unconscious, and for two days in this hospital, not only can I not sleep, but I also have to remain absolutely awake."
He pointed to his head.
"Secondly, I have experienced many such anomalous events, and I have a certain ability to protect myself, although you don't seem to be affected by these things now, maybe they will find ways to drag you down later, we must be cautious."
Hearing Su Hong's explanation, Qiao Duan nodded as if she didn't understand.
Seeing that this guy seemed to be a little relieved, Su Hong touched his chin.
"For your safety, and for my safety, the best thing we can do now is to find a corner where no one is around."
The rules of survival in the anomalous space are simple, don't see, don't hear, don't hear.
Being able to be a little deaf and blind is sometimes true happiness.
"Not really."
Jotwilight shook his head, and he pointed out the window.
In the courtyard downstairs, several patients were basking in the sun.
In Su Hong's eyes, these are mutated trash cans, giant spiders, lame dogs, and all kinds of monsters that challenge the limits of human reason.
Suddenly, a doctor walked to the edge of the compound, and several patients gathered around him, took the medicine from his hand, and put it in his mouth.
"It's ......"
What Su Hong saw was a bloated, fat monster with countless tentacles and eyeballs distributing a small wriggling mass of black flesh, and after those monsters ate the flesh, many twisted limbs grew on their bodies.
Obviously, they have been eroded by pollution, which has accelerated alienation, and some have difficulty even maintaining their human form.
"Take your medicine on time."
Qiao Du reminded seriously.
"Medicine?"
You call that thing medicine?
Su Hong instinctively wanted to refute, but remembered Qiao Dui's particularity and swallowed the words in her throat.
"There are a lot of rules in the hospital, you have to eat on time, take medicine on time, and go through rounds when you sleep at night, and you can't hide."
Qiao Twilight explained, looking at the blood-stained wall clock on the wall, and said quietly.
"It's time to take your medicine."
The next moment.
There was a knock on the door.
Knock –
Knock –
Knock –
Su Hong felt a chill down her spine and hurriedly looked at the door.
The door of the reading room was unlocked, and the old doorknob slowly turned, and the bloated, fat, eyeballed, tentacle monster that had been in the courtyard was slowly moving in.
"Qiao Dui, Su Hong, it's time to take medicine."
One of the tentacles of the "doctor" held two wriggling black flesh the size of fingernails, and the other tentacle held a glass of dirty water, and the language it spoke Su Hong couldn't distinguish at all, and could only hear a blur.
"Okay."
Qiao Du smiled, he pulled Su Hong, came to the "doctor", and cleanly took one of the black pieces of flesh, you can see that the flesh contains tiny fluff, which is twisting on Qiao Dui's fingertips.
He took a sip, swallowed it, took the cup again, and drank half of the water.
Witnessing this scene, Su Hong's heart trembled, and while feeling trembling and fear, she finally figured out how this place polluted human beings.
Either these monsters notice that they have found an anomaly and are dragged and torn apart, or they eat these contaminated things and are eroded little by little.
Horizontal is also dead, vertical is also dead!
Is this an anomaly of the [Alienation] level?
Su Hong didn't have time to think about it at all, the "doctor" had already stretched out the "hand" holding the "pill" in front of him and spoke at the same time.
Although she couldn't understand it, Su Hong knew that there was only one meaning conveyed in the other party's chaotic voice.
"It's time to take your medicine."
