Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Back to Reality

"What medication is this?" Gu Yu asked.

The nurse flashed a sweet smile, "Vitamins. You all need to take enough vitamins every day; only after taking your vitamins can you have breakfast."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle with no label and distributed two pills to each person, her eyes intently watching them, "Eat up."

The group stared at the red pills in their hands and then at the Security Guard staring at them from not too far away, and still ended up putting the pills in their mouths one by one.

The nurse then checked their hands and mouths, and, satisfied, left the room.

Gu Yu and Brother Liang exchanged glances, then returned to their room, closed the door, and took out the pills they had hidden in various ways and threw them into the toilet.

But that wasn’t the worst news; their personal panels no longer worked. The items they originally wore on their bodies had become nothing more than ordinary accessories.

"If it’s like this for us, it’s definitely the same for the other players," Gu Yu said. "Stay calm, and don’t forget what Xu Huo told us."

With things as they were, they could only go out to probe the reality of their situation.

The hospital was very peaceful during the day, lacking the ghosts and goblins of the night, with no signs of battles inside or out, and even the broken gates stood intact.

"If we weren’t all here, I’d think I had dreamt it all," Wen Xuelin said with a nod, then tilted her chin towards the back, where the Scarred Player was walking into the courtyard with a group in tow.

After breakfast, most of the patients were sunbathing on the lawn. When the Scarred Player arrived, the other players automatically made some room, as everyone was holding their breath to see if others were also unable to access their game panels.

There were quite a few Cannibal Players in the hospital, and now they were the ones who remained the most composed. Some were even taunting the female players, almost causing a scene in front of so many people. Eventually, other players couldn’t stand by and intervened, leading to both sides fighting. The commotion was quickly stopped by the hospital Security Guards, who gagged the two instigators and dragged them back inside the building.

The two who were dragged away were Cannibal Players. The other Cannibals didn’t want to interfere, but with the guards equipped with anesthesia guns and stun batons and watching from various posts, even if they wanted to fight back, they weren’t sure they could take down all the guards at once. Moreover, all of these were NPCs from the instance; who knew if they would regenerate like the head nurse from last night?

After the troublemakers were taken away, the head nurse soon came out and took a patient away, claiming she was going to give him psychological treatment.

Some players secretly followed to see, but once the person reached the seventh floor, where there were Security Guard posts, they couldn’t get through.

Once this news spread, the players began to grow curious about the seventh floor,

Some asked the nurses about it; floors above the seventh were single rooms, and those taken there were patients with more severe conditions, who would be restrained to the bed for treatment.

"Why haven’t we seen any doctors?" someone questioned.

"What do you mean no doctors? Aren’t they all there?" another responded, pointing to individuals at the windows on each floor, "The doctors are definitely in their offices."

Above the third floor, not every floor was fully occupied by wards; one end housed offices and on-duty rooms, but they hadn’t noticed any offices nearby yesterday.

"How come I remember it was all wards?"

"You must be misremembering. There have always been offices."

"What’s there to argue about? Have the things that didn’t appear yesterday but showed up today been limited to just these few?"

Players argued for a moment, but after realizing it was pointless, they started wandering around the hospital again, some heading towards the second building.

About an hour later, two ambulances drove in from the outside, followed by a police car.

Some people went out from the hospital to meet them, only to discover that the ones brought back restrained were the players who had left last night.

Their heads bleeding and their limbs tied so tightly with belts that their skin had discolored, they were carried out of the ambulances like logs.

A middle-aged man got out of the police car and said to the doctor, "These people ran out of the hospital and straight into the police station. The main gate happened to close just as they entered, and they smashed their heads to a bloody state."

"We had no choice but to tie them up. They kept ranting about something to do with ’prop players’ and even threatened to kill me... Are their delusions getting worse?"

The doctor sighed and discussed in front of many patients with the middle-aged man, "It’s a shame that at such a young age they’re addicted to gaming and take it for reality. We had evaluated before that their condition had improved, but it looks like we need to increase the treatment."

With a wave of his hand, the female player and her companions were carried into the outpatient building. One of them somehow managed to get rid of their gag and started shouting, "This is fake! The hospital is fake too! I want to get out! I want out!"

A nurse next to him promptly stuffed a towel into his mouth.

The people were taken away, but their unsettling appearance silenced the players present: How could they have changed so much overnight?

"...Those people have quite the imagination," said the middle-aged man in a police uniform with a simple smile. "They even made up an identity for me, calling me the ’Chief of the Special Defense Department.’ Ha, that’s quite a title!"

"There’s no limit to human imagination," the doctor continued to chat with him for a bit. Then a young man got out of the police car and called to the middle-aged man, "Chief, let’s go."

The middle-aged man bid farewell to the doctor with a cheerful laugh.

"Am I seeing things, or is that Dai Wenqian?" Wen Xuelin pointed at the young man.

"Not just Dai Wenqian, but the chief there is Chief Wu," Zheng Liang scratched his head. "Is this also a product of fantasy?"

Clearly, they weren’t the only ones who recognized these two individuals. A player who was loitering nearby suddenly charged at Chief Wu!

"Be careful!" the young policeman and a doctor nearby both shouted, but they couldn’t keep up with Chief Wu, who was faster; he drew his gun and shot the man dead, then fired two more shots that killed the two Cannibal Players who reacted too late.

Following the disappearance of the game panel, it seemed that the Cannibal Players’ once-prideful advantage in physical abilities had also vanished.

At this moment, the players looking at Chief Wu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear—that was a gun, and a hit from it could really kill!

Chief Wu’s demeanor was no longer jovial, but it turned icy as he looked at them, "A bunch of good-for-nothing freeloaders. If you cause trouble again, I’ll take down every one of you if I come across you. I really want to see if you actually have the ability to fly or burrow into the ground!"

Having become Evolvers and players, gaining power and their subsequent inflation of ego, they once again experienced the helplessness and terror of being ordinary people. Especially for those who had reached the peak and were then thrown back into the abyss, that feeling would doubly gnaw at their hearts!

At that moment, several Cannibal Players leaped towards Chief Wu from different directions. However, their speed was as slow as ordinary people’s. One overweight man was so clumsy that he tripped over his own feet after running just a few steps and was immediately hit by a tranquilizer gun.
