Chapter 63 Lu Xian's Medical Records! Searching for Medicine in the Morgue
The corpse, which had been rotting just a moment ago, not only returned to normal in the blink of an eye but also ran away with nimble strides.
The scene before his eyes was truly too bizarre.
Lu Xian immediately checked the two hidden, true clues he had just obtained, hoping to find an answer:
[There is only one extraordinary being here.]
[There is a special patient with schizophrenia.]
"An extraordinary being? A special schizophrenia patient?"
Seeing these two clues, Lu Xian frowned.
"This doesn't seem to have much of a connection to the dead people coming back to life right in front of me?"
"Extraordinary being... The doctor in the intensive care operating room mentioned this..."
"People who are injected with an overdose of blue sedative needle and red life needle are called failures and will become anomalies..."
Subsequently, Lu Xian posted these two clues for the viewers in the livestream room to see.
"What do you think, is this sole extraordinary being a [Successor]?"
"Or perhaps the 'Mastermind' behind the scenes?"
Upon seeing the clues, the people in the livestream room had differing opinions:
[No need to guess, this extraordinary being is definitely Lu Simin from the Psychiatry Department.]
[Yes, yes, yes, if she isn't an extraordinary being, I'll eat shit on stream.]
[You're speaking too soon; there might still be some hidden boss.]
[A schizophrenia patient? Why not go check the psychiatric inpatient department?]
[Is it possible that Lu Simin is that schizophrenia patient?]
Looking at the barrage, everyone pointed their fingers at Lu Simin again.
"How do you explain the dead people coming back to life in front of us?"
"I have this title aura now, which can disperse mad cells."
"After these people lose the mad cells in their bodies, their physical condition deteriorates severely, visible to the naked eye. When the mad cells return, their bodies repair themselves again."
"Can this be understood as everyone in Madman Street being a living dead person?"
"The reason they are alive is because they have formed a symbiosis with the mad cells and are relying on them to sustain themselves?"
Lu Xian voiced his thoughts.
Extraordinary spectral substances can produce such phenomena.
Some Survival Challengers who specialize in the soul path and become ghost tamers live in symbiosis with spectral substances; the more spectral substances they have in their bodies, the stronger they are.
And mad cells are equivalent to pseudo-spectral substances; they are flawed and easily turn people into madmen, or even cause them to become out-of-control anomalies.
That is why mad cells are used by people for experimental research.
[It's possible.]
[Agreed +1.]
[Huh? The corpse came back to life, why is there something under the bed in Room 404...]
[Brother Lu, go check the Psychiatry Department, or why not call Lu Simin right now to see.]
The barrages in the livestream room responded one after another.
"Call Lu Simin? Which one should I call?"
"If it connects, what should I ask?"
Lu Xian noticed a barrage and asked.
Everyone responded:
[Try calling both?]
[Just try to see if they connect.]
"Alright."
"What are the numbers? Tell me, this phone doesn't have a contact list."
Lu Xian looked around; the psychiatric hospital had already begun to descend into chaos.
The people around him avoided him like he was a venomous snake or scorpion, staying far away, terrified.
While rushing towards the Psychiatry Department building, he dialed the number using the senior phone he had exchanged for at the mobile shop.
[Lu Simin from Neurology, 13xxx7.]
[Lu Simin from the Psychiatry Department, 13xxx8.]
"These two numbers are similar?"
"It shouldn't just be a coincidence."
Lu Xian furrowed his brows, only then noticing this issue.
He took out the business card of Lu Simin, the Chief Physician of the Psychiatry Department, and found that the phone number provided in the barrage was correct.
Could it be...
Lu Xian suddenly smiled:
"It seems I've discovered some secret."
Combining all the encounters and clues, Lu Xian thought of a shocking situation.
But there were still two points he hadn't figured out.
That was what the chat group history he saw earlier meant by what they said.
There was another doubt, which Lu Xian wasn't quite sure about in his heart, and he needed further understanding.
Afterward, the button phone emitted a ringing tone, and then a notification:
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
Lu Xian discovered that the phone of Lu Simin from the Psychiatry Department was powered off.
"It's powered off."
After Lu Xian mentioned this.
He then dialed Lu Simin in Room 601.
The phone receiver beeped for a while, and then it connected:
"Hello?"
"Little Lu? What's the matter?"
Lu Simin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
The call connected?
[Ask her where she is now?]
[Ask her if she has eaten?]
[Ask her if she has schizophrenia?]
[Ah, this...]
The barrages were reminding him one after another.
"Where are you now? Have you eaten?"
Lu Xian glanced at the barrage and then said.
"Uh... eat?"
Lu Simin seemed to be stunned for a moment, then said:
"Just arrived at the new home. I'll go out to eat in a while. In the afternoon, I still need to find that person to process the divorce papers."
"Oh, oh, then I wish you success." Lu Xian said.
As a result, Lu Simin sighed silently:
"Sigh, it's not going very smoothly."
"But this time, I've already hired a lawyer, and it will be over very soon."
Afterward, she changed the subject and reminded him:
"By the way, Little Lu, I just received news that a doctor at the hospital has had an issue. You shouldn't go near there."
"It's best to stay at home obediently."
"I have things to do here, so I won't chat anymore."
She knew about the news from the psychiatric hospital so quickly?
"Okay."
Lu Xian gave a grunt of acknowledgment, and the other party hung up the call.
"Did you hear any issues?"
[No...]
[No issues is the biggest issue.]
[666, that makes a lot of sense.]
"Now the phone for Lu Simin from the Psychiatry Department won't connect, and that Nurse assistant said earlier that he hasn't come for his shift for a few days."
"I need to go over and check."
"Confirm the thoughts in my mind."
Lu Xian said.
Soon, he arrived at the Psychiatry Department building.
Everywhere he passed, there were large numbers of Nurses and security guards watching from afar, attempting to get him not to act recklessly.
However, the path was completely unobstructed.
He quickly found Lu Simin's duty room.
The goggles displayed the following prompt:
[Cannot be opened without permission; great terror will occur. Danger, danger.]
{Current Madman Street anomaly rule exploration progress: 88%.}
Walking all the way here, with the support of the goggles, the anomaly rule exploration progress was already close to 90%.
Seeing the warning, Lu Xian was not afraid.
The door was locked.
But it couldn't stump him.
He pushed hard, and the door instantly twisted and broke, opened by brute force.
A shocking chill and medicinal smell rushed towards him from inside the room.
Lu Xian looked through the goggles and saw that there was no anomaly present in the room.
But when Lu Xian touched the door and the tables here, every single thing was incomparably cold.
The air conditioner here wasn't even on.
The reason it was so cold was likely because, before he arrived, a considerable number of terrifying anomalies had been lurking in Lu Simin's duty room.
No wonder the longevity observation mirror warned him.
But because the anomaly-slayer title aura was enveloping him, the anomalies that were originally in Lu Simin's duty room had been forcibly dispersed and driven away.
Lu Xian subsequently checked the clues on the desk.
The desktop was empty except for a computer, a printer, and a pen holder.
On the wall, there were some banners hanging, as well as some hooks.
The hooks were originally for hanging medical record books, but Lu Xian didn't see any medical record books.
Lu Xian rummaged through the drawer.
"Huh?"
Inside, there was a medical record book.
{You have discovered a piece of medical record information.}
He opened it and found three sheets inside.
He picked up the first one and checked it:
"Affiliated Hospital Outpatient Medical Record"
Name: Lu Xian; Gender: Male; Age: 21;
Visit Date: 2020-06-03.
Department: Neurology Department.
Chief Complaint: Recently felt unable to control himself from beating classmates.
Past Medical History: Suffers from severe behavioral sleepwalking disorder.
Personal History: Born on Pingan Street; during work internship, was advised to resign and return home for treatment due to sleepwalking disorder, but the patient denies having sleepwalking disorder.
Family History: There is a history of mental illness in the family.
Physical Examination: ... Brain cells are different from ordinary people ...
Treating Physician Signature: Lu Simin."
After seeing this medical record sheet.
Lu Xian's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.
Immediately afterward, in disbelief:
"My medical record sheet??"
"What does this mean?"
He was truly confused.
Even everyone in the livestream room was dumbfounded.
What kind of situation is this again?
[Holy shit, the Streamer's medical record sheet?]
[I'm just stunned.]
[Thinking about it is terrifying, absolutely amazing.]
[It should be Brother Lu's 'character identity' medical record in Madman Street?]
[This visit date seems to be from two years ago, right?]
[Note that the hospital visited was the Affiliated Hospital, not the current psychiatric hospital.]
[The doctor who saw him back then was Lu Simin from Neurology, how strange...]
The livestream room was in an uproar.
They naturally knew that this couldn't be Lu Xian's medical record.
It could only be said that this was the 'scripted persona' in this survival space, leaning towards role-playing.
But they never expected to find Lu Xian's medical record sheet here.
Lu Xian looked at the medical record sheet in his hand, his brows tightly locked:
"A medical record from 2020."
"The psychiatric hospital built in 2021..."
"The doctors notes were written the year before last, which is 2020..."
How did the investigation start to become so bizarre here?
Lu Xian was completely puzzled.
Subsequently, he checked the other two medical record sheets.
One was named [Teacher Tang]; the details of the medical record could not be seen,
And the other one was completely pixelated, as if deliberately preventing him from seeing it clearly.
Lu Xian's eyes widened:
"Hmm?"
"Are these the medical records of three Survival Challengers? No way..."
"Could it be required for a story mission?"
{Madman Street main quest (Complete): Find the truth about Madman Street.}
And at this moment, he received a new mission notification.
This seemed to be the last main quest for Madman Street.
"As expected, it's a plot-related medical record."
After receiving the mission notification, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually thought he really had a "mental illness".
But he felt that things were becoming increasingly complicated.
He sat down in the chair and turned on the computer.
Then a notification sound came:
{Current Madman Street anomaly rule exploration progress: 90%.}
Does it mean that sitting in this chair will violate the rules?
Unfortunately, the anomalies can't get close to him at all now.
Lu Xian's mind wasn't on this, either.
Instead, he wanted to understand the truth key to the medical records.
After waiting for half a minute, Lu Simin's medical computer turned on.
[Please enter the login password.]
Seeing this, Lu Xian wanted to just smash the thing.
The information was interrupted again.
"Does any expert know what the password is?"
After Lu Xian entered passwords like 123456, 8888, etc., without success.
He asked.
Subsequently, the barrage flew, with various numbers, tricks, and technical suggestions appearing.
However, after Lu Xian tried for a long time, he was unsuccessful.
"Forget it, let's put it away for now."
"See if the guy outside who repairs phones can handle it."
Lu Xian stood up, and the medical record sheets, the computer, and the host unit were all put into the dimensional pouch.
Afterward, he walked upstairs.
There was also an inpatient area upstairs in the Psychiatry Department.
And everywhere Lu Xian passed, there were corpses all over the ground.
He didn't even need to do anything; the people here just lay down directly, looking miserable and incredibly terrifying.
After taking a tour of some of the wards upstairs, apart from the anomaly rule exploration progress reaching 94%.
There were no other new discoveries.
There were a ton of dead people, though.
"Go check the morgue."
The morgue was on the first and second underground floors of Building 8.
According to the clues provided, the hospital's frozen medicine storage was hidden there,
Lu Xian previously thought that the secret of the frozen medicine storage should be related to the origin of the blue sedative needle and the red life needle.
But he accidentally learned the origin of the medicine from that anomaly-transformed doctor.
He just didn't know what other clues were in this medicine storage.
Now, his Survival Challenger identity had also run into issues.
Soon, Lu Xian arrived at the hospital morgue, completely unobstructed.
The corridor of the hospital's underground morgue was incomparably gloomy; several of the hallway lights were broken, with only one lit far away.
The temperature all around was chillingly cold.
The air was filled with a stifling, foul stench.
If it weren't for him having that Madman Street anomaly-slayer title.
What he saw through the medical goggles right now would likely be all deep red, with the corridor crawling with terrifying anomalies.
Now Lu Xian couldn't see a single anomaly, and even if he wanted to kill, he couldn't.
Even if he intentionally triggered the anomaly rules, he couldn't attract any anomalies.
It would be great if he could kill anomalies; maybe he could obtain new clues.
"Find where the medicine storage is hidden."
Lu Xian said.
He discovered that every door in the hallway was locked shut.
Subsequently, holding the bone-shattering flying hammer, he began to smash the doors.
Bang~
The iron doors of the morgue rooms were cracked and blown open one after another.
The first room was quite wide, but the ceiling height was very low, less than 2 meters; walking in made one easily feel the fear of a claustrophobic space.
Cold air permeated the room, and the temperature was very low, below zero,
Inside, there were a dozen small beds.
On every bed lay a corpse; some were covered with white cloths, while others were just lying on them.
"Patients, Nurses, doctors..."
Lu Xian clicked his tongue secretly.
Because he saw that not only patients were lying in the morgue, but also Nurses and doctors.
Each one looked terrifying and ugly in death.
Lu Xian squeezed their arms; they were incomparably stiff, as if they had been dead for a long time.
"What do you think, are they sleeping or are they already dead?"
Lu Xian asked.
He couldn't tell anymore either.
After all, he was carrying that anomaly-slayer title, which affected his judgment and actions.
This was an honor given by the Survival World, which couldn't be removed for the time being, so he just had to accept his bad luck.
[The hospital rules state that if you inject too much medicine, you have to come to the morgue to lie down like a corpse and sleep.]
[I guess most of the people here aren't dead.]
[Not dead +1.]
The barrages responded.
"It's a pity I don't have any blue sedative needle on me, otherwise..."
Just as Lu Xian started speaking, he seemed to think of something.
A red syringe appeared in his hand, the red life needle.
The liquid inside was still red; surprisingly, it wasn't affected by the attributes of his title.
"Find someone and inject them with a shot to test it."
Lu Xian decided.
He set his sights on one of the people in a white coat.
If it was a doctor, they should just be here to sleep.
But because Lu Xian had arrived and dispersed the mad cells in the area, their bodies ran into problems.
Subsequently, he injected the red life needle into one of the doctors.
Lu Xian looked through the goggles and found a hint of light purple appearing at the injection site.
Afterward, the light purple liquid spread rapidly, transforming into deep red.
The other person's rotting body miraculously recovered.
However.
Under the goggles, when the other person's body turned deep red, Lu Xian saw a mass of red mist detach from the person's body and subsequently dissipate into the surroundings.
When the red mist disappeared, the doctor's body returned to "monochrome gray" again, the body ulcerated once more, and the mad cells disappeared again.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xian couldn't help but secretly curse the Survival World in his heart.
"Find the frozen medicine storage; there should be a large amount of medicine there."
