Thriller Paradise

Chapter 468

Chapter 468: Cursed Hospital (6)

After taking the 3 side quests, Feng Bujue stayed for another 5 minutes in Room 216. In these 5 minutes, he checked the remaining beds, and confirmed they were empty. He tried to get more info out from the counter and Victor but the two ignored him and continued in their argument... looks like he was not going to get anything else from these two NPCs.

Then Brother Jue inspected the four bedside tables in the room (naturally he couldn’t get to the count and Victor’s tables) and successfully found a strange coin in Mr Harbert’s bedside table. After doing all that, he opened the door and walked out to the corridor.

“The set up in this scenario is quite interesting...” Feng Bujue sauntered away. He flipped the coin in one hand and mumbled. “From the description of this coin... I am not in the human world...”

Name: Coin

Type: Plot Item

Quality: Normal

Function: Can be used to purchase item from the vending machine

Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No

Remark: The most common currency in Monster Kingdom. Due to the fluctuating exchange rate, the habit of bartering cannot be rooted out so currency has no actual value. And since the kings often get killed by adventurers, heroes or his relatives, or even self-immolate at times, so there is no imprint of the king on the coin.

“Since this is a monster kingdom...” Feng Bujue couldn’t help but wonder. “Then I am some kind of monster too?” he scratched his head. “But from my reflection, Leicester looks like a normal human... or is there something unique about him under his clothes?” Now that was hard to tell. Even though when the other people in the scenario saw Feng Bujue, they would see Leicester but when Feng Bujue saw himself, it was still his purple suit. Furthermore, even if he could find a mirror, he couldn’t remove his clothes. So if Leicester was a monster, only god would know what kind of monster he was.

...

“Wait a minute...” A thought crossed his mind. “Earlier with that bandaged man and the Chad siblings, what about them?” He thought. [The bandaged man asked ‘are you not afraid of me’ and then he said, ‘I am a ghost, do you not know what that mean?’] He scratched his chin and mumbled, “based on normal logic, what he meant should be... I am a normal ‘living human’ who should be afraid of a ‘ghost’.” He furrowed his brow. “But with Chad’s sister, that was obviously a monster so how did I ‘get’ with her...” He walked as he thought. Soon he arrived at a corner.

“Eh? Could it be...” Feng Bujue changed his way of thinking and suddenly it dawned on him. “Oh... I get it now... It probably means that... the ‘monsters’ in Monster kingdom are similar to ‘humans’ in the human world. So in the world, ‘ghost’ is also something scary...” He said to himself. “So... in conclusion, this is a haunted hospital set in a monster kingdom.”

Then he turned the corner. As he did so, he saw a person walk towards him.

“Hi~ Leicester~” A nurse appeared before Brother Jue and greeted him seductively. She was dressed in white uniform that was cut very low, had on a short skirt, long white silk stockings that accentuated her figure. The breasts rose like mounds, her waist required a hand around it and her legs were stuff of wet dreams. But... this nurse had a bug head.

The head above her shoulder was a giant mosquito head. It had a pair of bulging and protruding compound eyes and a proboscis extended from her nose and when she spoke, there was a buzz...

The strangest thing was... there was no antenna above her head but there was a coil of mosquito coil. Yes a mosquito coil, the traditional kind that looked like a whirlpool. It was burning with smoke...

“Jenny... is it...” Feng Bujue looked at the nametag on her uniform. “Erm...” he walked past her and tried to run. “Good evening.”

“Eh? What’s wrong with you?” Jenny asked in a buzz. “Why did you run when you see me?”

[How should I answer that... I mean there is too many things to say about that head...] Feng Bujue thought to himself but on the surface, he replied politely. “Erm... it’s nothing... I just have something to do...”

“Yo~” Jenny placed her hand on Brother Jue’s shoulder and leaned closer. “What is it?” She said salaciously, “Is it something similar to what you did with me... at the third floor storage during your patrol duty?”

[Damn you Leicester... You the man!] Feng Bujue roared in his heart but he replied seriously, “ha ha... no, I do have something important to attend to...’

“Qie...” Jenny huffed as she rolled her eyes at Brother Jue (the reflections in her compound eyes refracted), “if you say so...” Then she let go. Twisting her bouncing behind, she walked away. Feng Bujue gasped internally, [What is this... are you really a nurse? Is this place not some kind of fetish night club? What kind of place is this monster kingdom? I’ve played Thriller Paradise for so long and this is the first time an NPC is so willing to throw herself at the player but it is a mosquito?!]

...

After bidding farewell to Jenny, Feng Bujue continued to move ahead with the map in his mind. Even though the map was not worth much, it was better than going on blindly. Brother Jue believed that... if he searched around the ‘openings’ on the map, he should be able to find the location to go to the other floor. If that failed... he had considered the alternative, he would just go back and stay for one minute inside Room 216 and then ran back to the elevator where he started the scenario and took that to another floor.

Just like that, about 5 minutes later, Feng Bujue saw something celebrating. In front of him, on the left wall was a door. It was an electric door that opened to the sides, similar to the ones used at convenience stores, but this one was placed vertically, it opened up and down. When Feng Bujue came closer, the door opened automatically. Beyond the door was a short corridor and then 3 metres later was a junction.

“If the gravity changes...” Feng Bujue said as he laid down... he sat on the ground and slowly nudged forward. When he was close to the edge of the door, he laid down flat and used the bottom of his feet to reach towards the door before slowly pushing his feet through it. When both of his legs were through, the pull of gravity shifted, Feng Bujue ‘leaned’ towards his legs and ‘fell’ into the door. Since he was prepared, he landed successfully on his feet. Even though the buff from his equipment and skill and he was not as physically impressive, but the fall of 2 metres was not tall enough to kill a person (unless the person was falling headfirst).

The falling impact was much smaller than Brother Jue anticipated. He soon realized why: After all Leicester was a monster so he was more powerful than a normal human and the fall between floors was within his accepted range of pain.

“What is this place...” After Feng Bujue landed, he looked around. From the nearby room numbers, this should be the first floor. He could not tell for sure where the cafeteria and the blood bank was but the pedestrian clinic was definitely on this floor because it was mentioned on the quest tab. In other words, at least he could complete one side mission here. Furthermore, based on how Victor and the Count phrased it, it sounded like both the cafeteria and the blood bank would be on the same floor.

“The corridor is not so different here as the ones on the second floor...” As Feng Bujue steadied himself, he chose a direction and went down it. “by the way... after leaving Room 216, it has been quite some time I am walking on the corridor already but Chad has not shown up...” he thought back to the earlier system notification and said darkly to himself. “So... as long as I keep moving, I will not be chased?” He soon vetoed his speculation. “No, that can’t be right... if that is the case, I only need to walk back and forth on the corridor to clear this scenario.” As this thought crossed his mind, he picked up his speed. “Dangers are everywhere... one has to pay the price to get to know the rules here. Ultimately this is nightmare mode that I am here, I cannot be too prepared or careful.”
