Chapter 592 Bringing the Entire Department Involved
Chapter 592 Bringing the Entire Department Involved
The experiment's objective has been achieved; no further testing is necessary.
With a thought, Lin Feng waved his hand to disperse the Thunder Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the giant beast's body transformed into a sky full of lightning and dissipated into the void.
The two exited the simulation space together. In the archives, the fluorescent lights were still humming, as if everything that had just happened was just an overly realistic dream.
Lin Feng flexed his fingers, his eyes gleaming with eagerness: "Everything is ready now, we can take action tonight."
Su Wan shook her head: "After you clear the dungeon, you can only stay in the dungeon for a maximum of 24 hours."
"If I clear the gates now, it'll be a complete waste of five days. I haven't had enough to eat yet!"
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then chuckled and flicked her nose:
"You greedy little girl, things could get complicated if we delay! If Amansa finds out something, we'll completely lose the initiative!"
Su Wan puffed out her cheeks but didn't reply.
Lin Feng looked at her, his tone softening slightly:
"How about this—after we clear the dungeon, let's find a luxury hotel in the Tranquil Quadrant to stay at. I'll stay with you alone for five days, and then we'll go home, okay?"
Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his arm, pressing, "Really?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow: "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Besides, there are also Purple Eyes and Phantom in this dungeon."
"Aren't you afraid that one of them will take advantage of you when you're not looking and force themselves on me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wan shuddered: "...Husband is right, we can't delay passing the test."
She slammed her hand on the table, her eyes resolute: "We'll do it tonight!"
Lin Feng nodded, paused for two seconds, and then asked:
"Should we bring Chen Lan along? She's a high-level weirdo in the academy, and she accepted my bribe before."
Su Wan shook her head without hesitation: "Chen Lan is not a very reliable person."
"Why?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
Su Wan leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and slowly said:
"It's true that she's a high-level supernatural being, and her combat power is indeed strong, but all she cares about is profit."
"She helped you before because you offered 10,000 ghost coins; if Amansa offers her a higher price tomorrow, she can immediately turn her gun on you."
"Allies bought with money like this are only useful once; they should never be brought into core plans."
She paused, then added:
"Besides—I always felt that the dark figure behind her was not simple."
"That thing's greed is even greater than Chen Lan's."
"Bringing her in is like bringing a time bomb into the fold."
Lin Feng nodded: "That makes sense."
"However—" Su Wan changed the subject, glancing up at the ceiling, "those people in my office, I know them well, we can bring them in."
Lin Feng: "Then... Vassim and Evelyn can also join. They have been through many rounds of dungeon trials and have plenty of practical experience, which will give them a better chance to get higher rewards."
Su Wan raised an eyebrow: "You... you think about that Evelyn all the time."
Lin Feng's forehead immediately creased with a few black lines, and he then said solemnly:
"In college, there was a boy and a girl in my class, and there was nothing going on between them."
"Then everyone else kept saying they were dating, and guess what—they actually ended up together."
"This is psychological suggestion."
"You keep saying that. If Evelyn and I ever actually get together, don't blame me."
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and slapped her mouth: "You lousy mouth, you lousy mouth... I'll never say it again!"
Lin Feng suppressed a laugh and nodded: "That's more like it."
After discussing it, the two left the archives and returned to their office on the third floor.
Pushing open the door, there were five people: Aying, Aque, Xiaoren, Xiaolin, and Lao Zhou.
Some were organizing reports, some were drinking tea and slacking off, while Aque was examining her dark circles in the mirror.
Su Wan closed the door behind her and snapped her fingers.
"Buzz—"
A transparent barrier spread from her fingertips, instantly enveloping the entire office and isolating all sound and breath inside.
The five people were startled at the same time and all looked up.
A-Que instinctively straightened up: "Sister Wan... what happened?"
Su Wan ignored her words, walked straight to the desk, placed her hands on the surface, looked around, and then spoke in a deep voice:
"Do you know that the entire Yongshan Hospital operates on a rotation system every two days?"
The five people looked at each other, staring at each other blankly.
Su Wan took a deep breath and briefly recounted the truth behind the medical accident more than a decade ago, how the remnant souls of a hundred unjustly deceased hijacked the AI system, and how the entire hospital was trapped in a time loop.
The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
To convince everyone completely, Su Wan quickly walked to Lin Feng's workstation, gently grabbed his left arm, and rolled up his sleeve.
On his arm, five skull patterns were clearly visible, one of which was stained scarlet, eerie and glaring.
"This skull mark is the proof of the chosen one's cycle count."
"There are five stages in total, corresponding to a ten-day dungeon duration."
"Now that one line has turned red, it means the first cycle has come to an end."
"The second cycle will begin precisely at midnight tonight."
Kobayashi adjusted his glasses, hesitatingly asking, "Could it be... that only the human chosen ones are trapped in this cycle? And we, the Strange Ones, are unaffected?"
Su Wan chuckled and shook her head: "The resentment of those hundreds of remnant souls is all accumulating on the hospital's medical staff."
"Humans are just innocent victims caught in the crossfire; we, the working anomalies in the hospital, are the real targets of their revenge and wanton torture."
Old Zhou rubbed his chin: "Well...should we report this to the dean's office?"
Su Wan shook her head resolutely: "Absolutely not!"
"I now strongly suspect that the dean's office has become Amansa's puppet."
Reporting now is tantamount to walking into a trap!
Old Zhou was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "So, what is Su Ke's plan...?"
Su Wan's gaze swept across everyone's face as she spoke, word by word:
"Would you like to join me in ending this cycle, breaking free from the cage, and living the carefree life of a coconut latte?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ren straightened her back instantly and declared firmly, "I do!"
Ah Que clenched her fists, her face filled with indignation: "They dare to kill us again and again, we have to fight them to the death!"
Ah Ying nodded emphatically, "Sister Wan, we all trust you. Just go ahead and make the arrangements, and we'll cooperate fully!"
Xiao Lin and Lao Zhou nodded in agreement, and everyone was of one mind.
Seeing the passionate and sincere expressions of everyone, a warm feeling flashed in Su Wan's eyes, and she immediately began to make arrangements in an orderly manner:
"Excellent. Tonight at 10 PM, we'll split into three groups and break through simultaneously!"
"The first route, led by the human chosen ones Evelyn and Vassim, will go to the abandoned broadcasting room to completely destroy all broadcasting equipment and cut off Amansa's channels for remotely controlling the sound and spreading illusions."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhou frowned slightly, unable to suppress his worry:
"The abandoned broadcasting room is shrouded in mystery; I doubt the two human chosen ones can reliably complete their mission."
