The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Wen Shi slowly opened his eyes.
His sleep had always been very light.
After just ten minutes of light sleep, Wen Shi felt refreshed and energetic.
“Knock, knock—”
A knocking sound came from the door.
Wen Shi checked the time—it was 10 p.m.
He got out of bed and opened the door.
The one knocking was the nurse’s hand.
“Boss, Xu Jie is wandering around the clinic. I really want to smash him to death with a hammer.”
The severed hand left crimson bloodstains on the wall. She was very dissatisfied with this overly familiar Divine Official and wanted to hammer him every day.
This troublemaker couldn’t go a day without harassing the patients.
Xu Jie only caused trouble and never cleaned up the mess.
Every time, it was the nurse who had to handle the aftermath and clean up after him.
Who did he think he was, acting like the boss’s wife?!
Work was already annoying enough.
And now there’s this shameless imposter on top of it!
This damn job, whoever wants it can have it!
“Please bear with it for a couple more days,” Wen Shi quickly offered psychological support to his employee. He took out the rabbit fur and hair from other Players: “Test the components in these.”
The severed hand grumbled as it took the rabbit fur and left.
“I’ll smash Xu Jie to pieces sooner or later!”
Wen Shi raised an eyebrow.
Come to think of it, Wen Shi should have been trying hard to win Xu Jie over, making him willingly fall in love with him.
But Xu Jie was too proactive. Before Wen Shi could even launch his offensive, Xu Jie had already surrendered willingly, throwing down his armor and weapons.
Every time they met, Xu Jie was either showing off or confessing his feelings, giving Wen Shi the illusion that anyone could win him over and make Xu Jie bow down in submission.
If it weren’t for the fact that Xu Jie ignored other Players.
Closing the door, Wen Shi took out his phone and pulled up the surveillance footage to check the situation in Room 204.
The four Players were huddling together for warmth.
Inside Room 204, the lop-eared rabbit said decisively, “I am now 100% certain that Wen Shi is the Dungeon Boss.
We’re all in the same boat. Only by working together to kill the Dungeon Boss can we maximize our benefits. Trust me this once, okay?”
“Trust you? You’re full of it, you damn rabbit. You’re nothing but trouble,” Gu Hua retorted sharply:
“After today, we only need to survive two more days, and we can leave the Instance.
Let’s not even discuss whether Wen Shi is the Dungeon Boss.
Even if he is, so what?
If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
The conditions for leaving the Instance are either to defeat the Boss or survive for seven days.
Given the situation, can we even kill the Dungeon Boss?
Why take the risk of being wiped out by the Boss just to try our luck?
You’re always trying to push us to our deaths. Are you just unwilling to accept it?!”
The lop-eared rabbit sneered, “You still think this is a harmless F Rank Instance.
Even if the Dungeon Boss doesn’t want to kill us, don’t forget the patrols after 10 p.m.
Who knows if the one knocking is human or a Specter.
In the end, it’s all about death. Killing the Dungeon Boss would let us leave early.”
Wen Shi silently watched the lop-eared rabbit, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
He had been forced to play the role of the wolf, deceiving Xu Jie among the Players.
But this Player, jumping around and causing trouble, was the real wolf.
He was single-mindedly inciting the Players, pushing them toward death.
Last night, Shen Shushu’s wandering around caused various issues with the patients, but the one who triggered the patients’ mutations wasn’t him—it was the lop-eared rabbit.
Earlier, the nurse had informed Wen Shi of the test results: the rabbit fur contained hormones that could drive patients into a frenzy.
The concentration on the rabbit was hundreds of times higher than on the other Players.
It had placed the hormones on every Player, aiming to make the patients go mad and mutate.
The lop-eared rabbit had been searching for the Dungeon Boss all along, clearly targeting him.
“Shen Shushu spent a million Points to enter my Instance, and even a lop-eared rabbit can spend a million Points to get in.” Wen Shi muttered to himself while watching the players on the monitor:
“Shen Shushu came here to take his sister away, and the lop-eared rabbit is probably here for the Detoxification Agent.”
Therefore, it had been trying to identify the Dungeon Boss.
Using hormones to induce mutations in patients was also just to confirm whether the clinic truly had the ability to turn Monsters into humans.
If it could lure out the hidden Boss, it would kill two birds with one stone.
Wen Shi had never ventured more than five hundred meters from the clinic.
But that didn’t mean he was ignorant.
Especially after his consciousness awakened, Wen Shi had subconsciously gathered information about Divine Descent from the players.
The Detoxification Agent seemed to be an extremely rare potion in the outside world.
Shaking off his thoughts, Wen Shi put down his phone and closed his eyes to rest.
Meanwhile, in Room 204, the commotion continued.
“Are you capable of killing Wen Shi, or are you capable of killing Xu Jie?” Gu Hua sneered.
The lop-eared rabbit spoke sharply, its two ears standing upright: “Looks like you’ve been scared out of your wits by Wen Shi.”
“Yeah, right, right, I’ve been scared out of my wits.” Gu Hua forced a smile: “If you’re so capable, go ahead. Just don’t drag me down with you.”
Whether Wen Shi was the Dungeon Boss or not,
Gu Hua just wanted to escape this man-eating Instance.
The lop-eared rabbit took a deep breath, calming its emotions: “Gu Hua, don’t forget who caused you to lose your hand. Don’t you want revenge?”
Feng Zhouzhou guiltily glanced around.
He really hadn’t meant to jinx it.
“It’s my own fault, I guess.” Gu Hua had made peace with it: “According to your logic, I offended Wen Shi as soon as I arrived.
He didn’t kill me, which means this person has no intention to kill.
Even if he is the Dungeon Boss, I’m willing to bet on his conscience.”
Feng Zhouzhou nodded: “Brother Wen is very kind.”
The mute opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound.
The lop-eared rabbit laughed in anger. It had spoken so humbly to Gu Hua because it valued his abilities.
Feng Zhouzhou and the mute were clearly two novices—no Artifacts, no skills, only screaming when things went wrong, running around like headless flies.
Most of the usable players were already dead, and Gu Hua was one of the few candidates left for the lop-eared rabbit.
Yet he had been scared out of his wits by Wen Shi.
And that idiot Feng Zhouzhou even said Wen Shi was kind.
Ridiculous.
This was no different from a flock of lambs trying to appease a starving wolf, betting that it had a conscience and would turn from a carnivore into a herbivore.
“Brother Rabbit, doesn’t the Instance Strategy say that as long as we follow the Instance rules, we can survive?” Feng Zhouzhou whispered timidly: “Let’s not challenge them.”
The lop-eared rabbit laughed in anger: “Idiots! A bunch of damn idiots!”
“Stop putting on airs here.” Gu Hua couldn’t care less about who the Dungeon Boss was.
Lowlifes, a bunch of lowlifes.
Xu Jie deserved one slap, the lop-eared rabbit deserved two, but Wen Shi…
Brother Wen deserved to be revered!
“Brother Rabbit, don’t worry, tonight definitely won’t be your turn to stand guard.” Feng Zhouzhou tried to soothe the lop-eared rabbit.
The next second, knocking sounded at the door, and the players immediately went on high alert, their hair standing on end.
The knocking came three times.
“Get out here—”
Whatever was outside the door, human or ghost, roared in fury, kicked the door open, and dragged the nearest lop-eared rabbit out.
The lop-eared rabbit was furious, but when it saw that the one knocking was a nurse, it obediently followed behind, its crimson eyes darting around.
Feng Zhouzhou forced an awkward smile: “Nurse, Brother Rabbit will definitely be safe.”
“Tonight, you stand guard.”
A gentle voice sounded above Feng Zhouzhou’s head. He looked up—it was the nurse!
Gu Hua and the mute exchanged a glance, instantly feeling a chill run down their spines.
Feng Zhouzhou had just been forcibly taken away when Gu Hua and the mute slammed the door shut.
The next moment, the door was kicked open.
It was still the nurse who came, and she took the mute away.
Gu Hua’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
He hurriedly tried to close the door.
Before it could fully shut, the nurse wedged her foot in and dragged him out.
Wen Shi, who had seen everything, put down his phone and suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Wen Shi opened the door to find the nurse standing there with a forced smile.
