110: Chapter 110 Making Do

Sun Bocheng reached toward his buttocks and felt a protruding curve.

He quietly hid behind the bed curtain to the side and took out the key.

"The key appeared out of thin air, yet it had been hidden on my person all along. It was because of habitual thinking that I failed to discover it."

"It's like when your mind goes blank sometimes, and you can't find your phone anywhere, only to look down and realize it's actually in your hand."

Su Xuanyi was filled with Fear. From the start of the game until now, they hadn't come into contact with anyone else.

This key appeared out of thin air; could there be something invisible here?

It's just a Secret Room escape shop; did they have to make it seem like there are actual ghosts!

"Bocheng, what is this key for?" Su Xuanyi asked.

"Based on my understanding of suspense films, this key will definitely play a key role in the late stages of the game."

"Didn't he mention that there is a Basement here? I think this must be the key to open the Basement."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanyi was also greatly shocked.

She said: "Bocheng, you really are smart. I think your line of reasoning is correct."

The Shoe Ghost, who was crawling on the ceiling above the two of them, was filming.

Hearing their conversation, it couldn't help but cover its mouth and giggle.

[Not a bro, have you forgotten about the storage room? Why don't you go and try it?]

[You are playing the role of a doctor right now, yet you aren't wearing a white coat and don't have medical tools. How are you going to treat the Patient later?]

[Hopeless, absolutely hopeless!]

[Could this guy be an actor hired by the boss, specifically to perform the image of an idiot?]

[Everyone, I found this guy's information. This guy is a famous doctor both domestically and internationally. Based on his status and economic strength...]

[He shouldn't be willing to take on this kind of private job, which means... this guy might be genuinely stupid.]

[Bro upstairs, how did you look that up?]

[Oh! I'm a computer science major and know some simple hacking techniques.]

Sun Bocheng led Su Xuanyi back to the diagnostic room. The game prompt updated, stating that the Patient had been waiting for a long time.

"Hmph!" The corners of Sun Bocheng's mouth curled up slightly.

Treating illnesses was his specialty, and this was a perfect opportunity to show Chen Mo what being a professional meant.

Sitting in the diagnostic chair, the door was knocked upon.

Sun Bocheng sat up straight, adjusted his glasses, and said in a loud, clear voice: "Please come in!"

Then, he saw a vortex appear on the door panel.

A black shadow crawled out from it and teleported in front of him just like Sadako.

Its eyes were blood-red, staring fixedly at him.

Sun Bocheng's originally confident and arrogant smile vanished instantly, his pupils dilating wider than bells.

"Doctor, my head hurts so much. Can you help me take a look?"

"It's full of spiders inside. If you can't cure it, then give me your head!" the woman chuckled.

She also took a moment to look up at the Shoe Ghost hanging from the ceiling.

The two ghosts exchanged a knowing smile; those who know, know.

[Damn, another female ghost, and her beauty is on par with Shoe Ghost sister. Isn't this just pure temptation for me to spend money?]

[She said her head hurts, and it's full of spiders. I wonder... will she voluntarily open her own head to show us?]

[At this time, you must be ruthless, suppress your Fear, and after counter-treating the illness, you will definitely obtain some clues!]

Sun Bocheng swallowed hard. Looking at this living ghost in front of him, he was so terrified that he couldn't move.

Seeing that Sun Bocheng hesitated to make a move, the woman didn't know what to do either.

At this moment, Chen Mo's voice came through the earpiece.

"Give him a hammer and test his reaction."

Upon hearing this, the woman reached her hand under the floor and took the hammer Chen Mo handed her.

She slammed it onto the table in front of her.

She said: "Doctor, I've brought you the tools. Help me get rid of the little guys inside my head."

"This..."

Although he knew clearly that this was a game, Sun Bocheng felt a strange sensation.

Ever since entering this space, it felt as if he would actually die.

An inexplicable force had been influencing him, causing him to treat it as a life-or-death game.

Sun Bocheng turned his neck stiffly and looked toward Su Xuanyi.

Su Xuanyi waved her hands; the meaning was clear: don't look at me, don't notice my existence.

Sun Bocheng turned back and suddenly revealed a smile.

Pointing at Su Xuanyi, he said: "Actually, she is the doctor. I'm just an intern."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanyi was completely stunned.

The woman immediately turned her head and said: "Then what are you still standing there for? Come over and help me treat the illness quickly. Do you want me to come over and invite you personally?"

Su Xuanyi's legs shook uncontrollably, and her crotch uncontrollably began to get wet.

She was so scared that she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Retreat. Let Su Qing take care of the two of them."

Receiving the order, the woman waved her hand in disgust.

Leaving an elevator card and a small note on the table, she crawled out the door.

Before leaving, she said: "You two are finished. I'm going to report you to the Dean!"

[The Dean? Is this the BOSS of the dungeon?]

[So... if you receive a bad review from a Patient, it will directly trigger a hidden plot? That's interesting.]

[Maybe the boss also set up different trigger methods. For example, these 5 professions actually all have corresponding hidden plots, just with different difficulty levels.]

[Open-ended gameplay, which means... there might be multiple ending paths. This is pretty awesome.]

[I want to play 5 times, go through all 5 professions, and maybe I can piece together a complete backstory.]

"Bibi, Chen Mo, when is it my turn to appear?" Su Qing asked.

"Right away. Later, find a way to separate these two people, then defeat them one by one."

"Understood!" Su Qing put on her mask.

Then, she snapped her fingers lightly. Her height suddenly began to increase, and her physique became very robust.

Very quickly, she transformed from a soft girl into the image of the Dean.

"By the way, also Chen Mo... there are people all outside the shop now, and they are anxious to come in and experience it."

"Then let's make it quick. Give Sun Bocheng any excuse and execute him and Su Xuanyi directly!"

"We absolutely cannot delay making money. These few lab rats like Sun Bocheng can be discarded."

Chen Mo made a hand-blade gesture, sliding it across his neck a few times.

Su Qing also made an "OK" gesture.

At this moment, Sun Bocheng and Su Xuanyi were taking the elevator up to the 18th floor.

On the way, Su Xuanyi kept complaining to Sun Bocheng, asking why he said that earlier.

They had agreed that even if they encountered a real ghost, he would help her bear everything.

"This game is too realistic. I seriously suspect now that this kid Chen Mo really wants to kill us."

"So... you wanted me to die for you?" Su Xuanyi's brows furrowed tightly.

"How is that possible, Xuanyi? I just wanted to take the opportunity while the ghost was looking for you to seize the time and subdue her."

"If it were a head-on duel, I definitely wouldn't be its match, but if you attracted its attention, then I would have a chance."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanyi had a look of disbelief.

But there was no other way. The game was so terrifying, and having a man by her side provided a sense of security.

She had no choice but to make do and keep playing for now.

As the saying goes, adversity reveals true feelings.

At this moment, she finally understood the weight of that saying.
