Chapter 31 The terrifying human-pig ghost!
by AshPurgatory2025“Screech!”
The bus’s rusty brake discs rubbed against the wheel hubs, emitting a piercing sound.
The players on the bus were also thrown off balance by the sudden stop, nearly falling to the ground.
And those players couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Si Yan counted carefully; this time, there were actually 32 players on the bus!
A few with grave expressions didn’t say a word.
It seemed these individuals were veteran players who had experienced the game many times.
Of course, novices couldn’t be ignored either.
After all, on the Horror Space player communication forum, many players were selling their crack experience for the Horror Space at high prices, as well as some weapons: similar to Si Yan’s ghost spirit dagger.
The bus door slowly opened.
Some bolder players started to get off, and Si Yan followed them down.
In front of him was a dilapidated bus station, with a signpost next to it. The sign was crooked, dangling precariously on its pole, and had four large, rusty characters: Blood Moon Hospital!
Looking up, a six-story hospital stood behind the bus station, like a long-abandoned unfinished building. Its roof was covered in unknown green plants, and from its shattered windows, intermittent screams could be heard.
Even before entering the game, this terrifying atmosphere had already chilled everyone to the bone!
“Ah!!! Ghosts!”
Just then, a newcomer suddenly screamed loudly!
Following the sound, the players finally noticed that to the right of the bus station was the hospital’s main gate.
At the gate, ghostly figures flickered, and all sorts of Gui Creatures moved in and out.
It seemed this Blood Moon Hospital was doing quite well.
The reason the novice player screamed was because he saw a woman, currently curled up inside a large glass jar, her limbs completely gone!
This was…
A human pig!!!
Upon noticing the screaming newcomer, the human pig woman revealed a sinister smile.
Then, from behind the glass jar, the human pig woman’s four limbs suddenly appeared, crawling towards the screaming newcomer, crisscrossing!
Watching the uncontrollable limbs on the ground, the novice player immediately wet himself in terror!
“Ah!!!”
With a piercing scream, the novice player’s right arm was directly torn off by the human pig woman’s scattered limbs!
“Mmm mmm mmm!!!”
A middle-aged man next to him stepped forward and covered the armless novice player’s mouth.
“Shut up! Still screaming? Are you trying to make everyone die with you?”
The novice player suppressed his voice, trying his best not to make a sound, then fainted outright.
The other players, seeing this scene, quickly covered their mouths.
“Oh? What’s going on?”
At this moment, an Old Lady in a white lab coat walked out of the Blood Moon Hospital.
From her appearance, she seemed human, but anyone working here was definitely a Gui Creature!
The Old Lady walked up to the fainted novice player, reached out a finger to check, and said with a smile, “He’s alive.”
After saying this, the Old Lady looked up at the other players.
“Tsk tsk tsk, you all must be careful! Never provoke any patients in Blood Moon Hospital! Not even a scream!”
The Old Lady’s smile was very kind, but no one felt warm.
Hearing the Old Lady’s words, Si Yan looked around.
It seemed this Old Lady was the housekeeper of this instance, responsible for assigning tasks.
“You are this batch of human players, right? You’ll come inside with me later; there are work uniforms and ID badges, which you all must wear.”
The Old Lady smiled, “As long as you have a good service attitude and take good care of the patients, they won’t do anything to you.”
“However, the hospital also has its rules. You cannot skip work without reason during working hours, nor can you leave the hospital arbitrarily. Of course, if you are caught slacking off, then…”
As she spoke, the Old Lady’s tone became increasingly amiable.
“The jobs aren’t difficult, but the salaries vary.”
“Working in the morgue pays 500 ghost coins a day; being a caregiver pays 300 ghost coins a day; dispensing medicine pays 200 ghost coins a day; cleaning pays 100 ghost coins a day…”
The Old Lady introduced up to this point, seemingly not finished: “Of course, if you can get good reviews from the guests, there are extra rewards.”
The Old Lady lowered her head to look at the fainted novice player, then gestured to the Gui Creature caregivers behind her to carry him into the hospital.
“As long as you work here, your salary will increase. As for when you can go back, that’s not something I can control.”
The Old Lady continued.
After hearing the Old Lady’s explanation, all the players were discussing in low voices.
Indeed, these high-risk jobs paid very well.
Working in the morgue, besides carrying corpses, was just guarding them, which was scary and strange, so the salary was the highest.
A few sturdy men chose this, while some women chose to be caregivers.
Si Yan was still carefully considering the Old Lady’s words; there seemed to be a few details.
This Blood Moon Hospital Horror instance didn’t seem to mention the issue of game time.
No player knew when they could return to the real world.
This was one point.
Secondly, the salary given by Blood Moon Hospital was indeed very high, more than double that of the previous Yin Spring Inn.
And there would be subsequent salary increases.
Thirdly, when assigning duties, the Old Lady didn’t mention doctors at all!
Considering these three points, this Blood Moon Hospital seemed to be more humane compared to other Horror instances.
In the past, that armless novice player would have been treated as trash and disposed of.
Unexpectedly, this Old Lady even intended to save him!
Interesting!
“You! Young man, what job do you plan to do?”
While Si Yan was deep in thought, the other players had already chosen their respective jobs.
Only Si Yan hadn’t spoken.
“Um… Does the hospital need doctors for diagnosis?”
Si Yan raised his hand, beginning to recommend himself.
“A doctor? You can actually treat illnesses?”
The Old Lady was very surprised to hear Si Yan’s words.
Si Yan nodded confidently: “Yes, I can treat illnesses.”
Upon hearing Si Yan say this, the eyes of several veteran players in the crowd showed some surprise.
They hadn’t expected this young man, who looked so young, to dare to proactively recommend himself as a doctor to a Gui Creature?
If he made one mistake, his life would be gone!
It had to be said, this human was truly daring!
He must be a complete newbie, no doubt.
One had to know, this was Blood Moon Hospital, a place for treating the Gui Creatures in the Horror Space.
Even if you were a young, successful doctor in the human world.
But in the Horror Space, the patients you would face were all ghosts!
Those veteran players seemed to have already concluded that Si Yan was a dead man.
“We are indeed very short on doctors, especially since many patients have arrived at Blood Moon Hospital recently. Since you want to try, go report to Director Li!”
The Old Lady thought for a moment, then added, “However, I must warn you, if you don’t do well and anger the patients, I won’t be able to help you.”
Si Yan smiled, “Understood.”
