After being poisoned by mushrooms, all the strange creatures became fascinated by me.

There were a few moments when Tang Li thought: I must see Gu Xiaoying immediately.

I don't know whether what's churning in my heart is regret, shame, or heartache.

How ridiculous and despicable she was last night! She accused Gu Xiaoying of preventing Nannan from returning to the hospital, and she even condemned Gu Xiaoying for refusing Nannan's help!

Of course he would refuse, of course he would stop it. It was he who risked his life to get Nannan out of the hospital, it was he who disregarded everything and took her place!

Tang Li finally understood the despair in Gu Xiaoying's voice. She wanted to do something; she desperately wanted to see him.

But at that moment, Tang Li suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Now that you've met Gu Xiaoying, are you really capable of helping him?

No, Tang Li. You don't know enough, you don't have enough.

Countless comments continued to scroll past Tang Li's eyes, but she ignored them and switched to the backend. The robot live stream assistant was still tirelessly reminding her to remember to visit the top twenty viewers on the donation leaderboard and express her gratitude to them.

【You can choose to record a thank-you video, send a thank-you gift, or fulfill a small wish of your viewers to express your gratitude for their generous donations!】

Tang Li made a peace sign with a blank expression and took a selfie.

Then select the top ten on the donation list and send them to the group via private message.

[[Streamer's photo] Thank you for your attention and donations. Hello, is there any way to still kidnap the specified weird NPC alive after the dungeon crashes? [Flowers][Heart]]

Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Tang Li simply and bluntly cleared a path.

That damned, shady private hospital is definitely going to die, the copy is definitely going to be destroyed, and Gu Xiaoying's wish is definitely going to be fulfilled.

Nannan definitely needs to be saved.

At this point, it was no longer Gu Xiaoying's or Nannan's wish; it had become Tang Li's plan.

That's how college students are; every college student is keen to set themselves a seemingly unrealistic goal, and then stumbles and runs forward in a chaotic and disorganized manner.

Before the viewers who received the heart gesture from the streamer could reply to her private messages, Tang Li shrunk the background and displayed it semi-transparently in the lower left corner of her view.

There was no time to stop; there were still more than two days left until the dungeon ended. Surviving for nine days would allow them to leave the dungeon, a privilege originally intended for novice players, but for Tang Li, it had become a countdown that bound her.

Tang Li turned around, her steps quickening, as if the leisurely facade she had been putting on could no longer conceal her decisive and efficient nature.

She walked toward another consultation room, where patients were waiting in line outside, and "treatment" was underway inside.

Tang Li turned the doorknob, completely ignoring the astonished gaze of the strange doctor inside. She gestured with her chin towards the person still lying on the examination bed: "Come out."

Lady Tang Li was infamous, and the doctor didn't dare say a word.

Moreover, judging from the adult's attitude and tone, the patient she called out from the examination bed is probably in grave danger.

Innocent office worker Fang Yingjie: ?

For the first time, this humble office worker experienced the feeling of being the center of attention. He got out of bed, awkwardly walked through the line of players outside the clinic, and followed Tang Li.

"Thanks, Teacher Tang."

After getting away from the crowd, Fang Yingjie sighed wearily and thankfully. He slumped to the ground, like an overcooked noodle, against the wall.

Tang Li stood beside him, frowning. "What happened to you? Did the doctor hurt you?"

Fang Yingjie's weary voice carried a hint of gratitude: "No. You came at just the right time; the doctor was about to begin."

Tang Li asked, bewildered, "Then why are you sprawled on the ground?"

Fang Yingjie calmly replied, "Yes, that's how it is for us adults who are already working."

As he spoke, he pulled his laptop from his ever-present bag, a mature professional always facing work and clients with composure: "What else do you need, Mr. Tang?"

"There's nothing new to ask for," Tang Li explained. "I just urgently need the information I asked you for at noon today. Considering that you also spend a lot of time dealing with the doctor's 'treatment,' I brought you along."

Feeling a little guilty, the college student added in his mind: "I brought you out to help me with this urgent work."

Fang Yingjie actually gave Tang Li an appreciative look. If every client had this kind of awareness and could consciously solve the difficulties of the service provider, he would feel a sense of satisfaction even if he had to work overtime.

"Actually, a few days ago, Boss Qiu had already asked me to do a simple check-up on Dr. Jiang."

"Dr. Jiang can be described as young and promising. In his early years, his academic qualifications, experience, and awards were almost on par with the hospital director, and he had already worked his way up to the hospital's management level at a very young age. In terms of seniority, staff members like Dr. Jerry and Dr. James would all have to call Dr. Jiang a senior."

As Fang Yingjie typed on his computer, he succinctly explained the information he had collected in his spare time.

"However, there is not much information about him in the hospital system in recent years because he has not only been sidelined by the management, but his job assignments have also been far from the hospital center, and he has rarely been scheduled to perform surgeries. It seems that he has been sidelined."

Tang Li asked, "Does Dr. Jiang have any connection with Gu Xiaoying or with human experimentation?"

Fang Yingjie, who is clearly aware of some of the true background of the story, said, "It's still uncertain. We currently have no way of knowing the exact time when the hospital began human experiments."

"What about bulletin boards and the like?" Tang Li thought about the information she had just learned. "When did the hospital start advertising that it had mastered the technology to remove the supernatural? This technology is based on human experimentation."

"Oh, right," she paused, "did you know that the hospital scenario's background is 'a bizarre invasion as a contagious disease'?"

Fang Yingjie, without looking up, said, "I know, I saw the trailer when I first entered the instance..."

His voice suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something.

Tang Li's eyes widened slightly, then she suddenly became excited: "Promotional video!"

So much had happened during this time, and since she had been attributing many things to hallucinations, she had almost forgotten that all the patients had been organized to watch the hospital's promotional video, and the hospital director had even asked her what she thought of it.

"Do you remember that scene in the promotional video?" An idea flashed through Tang Li's mind, and she spoke quickly, "There was a tall man lying on the operating table, his face and body covered in writhing, purplish-black flesh?"

The dean said this morning that the strange creature is like a parasite that takes root in the human body, and its external manifestation is a kind of purplish-black wriggling flesh.

"—In that shot, a doctor cuts a clean baby out of his abdomen!"

In the fourth mural on the wall behind ward 820, several faceless figures surround a small, reclining male figure. They cut a huge gash in the figure's abdomen, and another faceless figure pulls something out of his stomach. In the subsequent hallucination, Tang Li hears a baby crying and the faceless figures clapping and cheering.

Tang Li had been pondering the source of her sense of déjà vu regarding the fourth picture. It turned out she had seen the same scene in the promotional video!

Reminded by her, Fang Yingjie also recalled the events. He leaned forward and, based on the available information, deduced, "So the video shown simultaneously in the promotional material was Lao Ding's surgical procedure?"

He had obviously learned about Lao Ding's situation from Jiang Hui and Qiu Wanting.

"No, that's not right," Tang Li's fingers tapped rapidly on her other wrist, as recent events were arranged in chronological order in her mind.

"We watched the promotional video on our second day in the instance. Old Ding was still talking about 'Where did Old Ding go?' in the restaurant on the morning of the third day. The promotional video was filmed with another person who had a similar experience to Old Ding."

Who was it? Could they have left some clues for them? Tang Li's heart pounded.

"Teacher Fang, we need to watch the promotional video again!"
