Thriller Trainee
4. Chapter 4
The atmosphere in the restaurant is quite eerie.
The old people hugged each other in pairs, while the new people were basically scared out of their wits and just looked forward to being able to hug each other.
It was only halfway through the meal, and many people with small calculations came up to the old man and took the initiative to flatter him.
Glasses are one of them.
Before entering the infinite loop, Glasses was just an ordinary office worker. He followed the rules and completed his boss's arrangements and work conscientiously on weekdays. He never thought of committing any crime.
But now, he has entered this thrilling trainee competition with an uncertain future and full of dangers. Not only is he unable to return, but he is also in danger of losing his life.
Because he has been sitting in an office all year round, his body is plump and weak, and he has no skills except work. His rating is the same as his lowest level job in the real world, only an F rating. If this game cannot get a score above E level in the re-evaluation, it will still be a dead end.
No one wants to die, not even glasses. So after entering the first game, he made his own little calculation.
After the nurse opened the door, he immediately crawled to the upstairs restaurant, silently observing everyone who came in from the entrance.
After all, it is still useful to wait and see. The glasses have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the trainees in this session.
There are two people with S-level tags on their bodies, three A-level people, a dozen B-level people, and more C-level and D-level people, but the most people are E-level and F-level like him.
Among them, the S-class with long black hair had a cold expression, and his aura seemed to have turned into ice.
Another blond guy who was also an S-level man smiled like a spring breeze. Even wearing a hospital gown could not hide the holy aura on his body.
Before Glass could muster up the courage to step forward, he saw a few E-class and F-class people who had the same idea as him, walking towards the two S-classes carrying dinner plates.
Zhuge An didn't even raise his eyelids, he just put down his chopsticks without saying anything, which made the newcomers' legs tremble with fear.
Unexpectedly, the other blond man did not respond with the same cold expression because of the thoughts written on the faces of these newcomers. Instead, he smiled with understanding.
"You are all newcomers. I am the Messiah, you can just call me that."
Perhaps it was the big boss's ease of getting along that made the newcomers feel more at ease, so these newcomers immediately started to introduce themselves. Glasses watched from the sidelines for a while, then shamelessly went over to join in.
Each of them expressed their fear and confusion about the current situation.
Messiah did not interrupt, but listened quietly, and waited until the last person finished speaking before nodding in approval: "Indeed, high-rated trainees are basically survivors who have lived in an infinite loop for a period of time. You guys You are still newcomers, and it is indeed too cruel to throw you into the trainee selection without giving you any chance to grow."
"Don't worry." The blond young man said with a gentle expression, "This is just the first game. If there is anything I can take care of, I will try my best to help everyone."
In a place where many trainees couldn't see, the barrage of onlookers also made a fuss.
[Uuuuuuu, the Holy Son is still so gentle, crying]
[It’s really the same as your name, like the Holy Son who saves all living beings from water and fire 55555]
[I almost shed tears when I saw this scene. Last time in the dungeon, I was just lucky enough to meet the Holy Son. He saved me, a novice, like this, and gently comforted me that it was okay. He is a good person in modern times. It’s real]
"...The Holy Son is still the same."
He Jianlan took a bite of ham and said, "Those newcomers are obviously trying to hold on to each other and deliberately exaggerating the facts."
When he said this, a wealthy newcomer was shouting loudly over there, saying that as long as the Messiah protected him, he would promise him a sum of money up to seven figures when he returned. Messiah couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and kept saying no, it was just a matter of effort.
Qin Ye glanced at him with interest, "He's not always like this."
Among the top ten trainees, apart from that one, Messiah is undoubtedly the most popular.
Because he is recognized as a good person in the infinite loop.
Many old survivors were once new people, and many old survivors also received blessings from the Messiah during their time as new people, and there were not a few who reciprocated the favor with springs of water.
In a world full of treachery like the Infinite Loop, such a character is very rare, and it is easy to become a spiritual leader. The title of Holy Son was given to him by the survivors who respected him.
Messiah’s own strength is unfathomable, his character is good, and he always has a lot of people around him. Even if some people dislike him and secretly feel that he is hypocritical, they remain silent due to the strength of him and his followers.
For example, now, the newcomers almost built a shrine on the spot to worship the Messiah. They looked at him as if they were seeing the Virgin Mary descending to earth. They wished they could stay with him for three days and three nights without leaving. .
He Jianlan sighed in his heart that he was short-sighted, and immediately withdrew his gaze.
It was good to stay with the Messiah, maybe he could save his life. But the ratings of these newcomers in the solo show probably won't be that high. The Messiah can protect them for a while, but he can't protect them for the rest of his life. He will have to die when it's time to die.
All newcomers who enter the infinite cycle must go through life and death before they have the consciousness to fight on their own. If they shy away or rely on others, they will only end up dead.
When he looked away, He Jianlan's peripheral vision accidentally swept across the corner of the restaurant and paused for a moment unconsciously.
The white-haired young man with an astonishing appearance was sitting quietly in the corner, mechanically lifting and placing a spoon.
He half-bowed his head, and from this angle he could only see a beautifully shaped jawline.
This new guy is a bit interesting.
He Jianlan narrowed his eyes.
Almost all newcomers in the hall, let alone newcomers, even a few C-level people tend to gather around Messiah to seek refuge. Everyone has the idea of taking advantage and not taking advantage of the bastard.
In such an environment, this white-haired man could still sit calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't even look back, which was obviously extremely unusual.
"Old Qin, what do you think of that random mission?"
Qin was also impatient, "What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush. Just let it go."
He doesn't like people who talk hard, but unfortunately his partner is such a guy who likes to have words in his words.
He Jianlan is a B-level, but because he possesses a special prop, many A-levels are a little afraid of him. Especially after he and Qin Ye formed a partnership, they became more powerful and their combat effectiveness almost doubled. This time they were lucky enough to be assigned to the same venue. Many old people in the restaurant were jealous.
"I told you not to be suspicious and keep looking at Zhuge An. If people notice it, you won't even know when they will include you." He Jianlan said helplessly, "Just think about what Zhuge An did in 'Curse Mask' What, don’t just step into someone else’s chessboard without knowing it.”
These words are indeed useful. Qin Ye immediately withdrew his gaze with a stinky face.
He Jianlan was speechless. By the way, he silently raised the white-haired newcomer a few levels higher on his list of suspicions.
Just at this moment, Zong Jiu finished his meal.
He didn't seem to notice the looking eyes coming from all directions. Instead, he quietly arranged his chopsticks and lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.
Logically speaking, beauty always attracts attention. But the aura and alienation of the white-haired young man were so strong that no one dared to come forward and talk to him.
The boy who had been watching from a distance for a long time finally plucked up the courage and sat across from him with a dinner plate.
Zong Jiu closed his live broadcast room and raised his eyes lightly.
In just one meal, the number of people in his live broadcast room jumped from zero to thousands. Perhaps this is the privilege of being good-looking.
Sitting down was a very shy young man. Not only his face but also his demeanor were full of youthfulness. He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. The eyes he looked at contained gratitude and anxiety.
"I, I, I am Sheng Yu."
Seeing the white-haired young man looking over, Sheng Yu started to stutter even when he spoke, "Thank you before."
As if afraid that Zongjiu wouldn't remember, the high school student quickly added in a low voice, "I was in the dormitory earlier, thanks to your reminder."
When Sheng Yu said this, Zong Jiu found some memories.
The other party is also a member of the e-class eight-person dormitory.
The young man looked at him quietly until Sheng Yu was so scared that he nodded calmly, "It was your own choice that saved yourself."
This is not wrong. Doesn't Xia Chuan not believe what he said?
If Sheng Yu didn't believe it himself, he would only end up with the same fate as Xia Chuan.
Sheng Yu wanted to say more, but the noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet as if a pause had been pressed.
"Da da da."
The crisp sound of high heels hitting the tiles sounded.
A nurse in nurse uniform came in. They looked cold, and the first hand held a rickety oil lamp. It was the female nurse who opened the door to Zong Jiu earlier.
The faces of these nurses were all very pale, not normal white or anemic pale, but rather strangely pale.
The experienced old people subconsciously looked behind them.
Unexpectedly, under the incandescent lights of the restaurant, black shadows were floating quietly on the clean tiles, which also proved their identity as human beings.
"You are all newly admitted patients this morning. The schedule of our hospital's activities is posted on the wall over there. Other than that, I just want to remind you of a few points."
"One: Night travel is prohibited. Two: Patients are prohibited from fighting with each other. Three: Absolutely obey the orders of medical staff."
The head nurse's tone was cold: "If you try to violate the rules, you will be sent to a solitary room or forced to receive treatment. It all depends on the severity of your condition. Believe me, you won't want to try it one by one."
No one in the restaurant made a sound, it was as quiet as in a tomb.
"Very good. You are much more obedient than the last batch of patients admitted to the hospital."
Obviously, this attitude satisfied the head nurse, and a smile rarely appeared on her mean face.
"Cooperating with our treatment will only benefit your own condition. I am very relieved that you can figure this out."
The few newcomers who followed Messiah had been shaken into sieves, and they didn't dare to ask where the previous batch of patients had gone.
"Okay, I've finished explaining the rules, now let's start lining up to take the medicine."
The head nurse waved her hand, and the nurses behind her walked out of the shadows one by one with pill bottles and distributed pills and water to the trainees in the restaurant one by one.
The trainees exchanged glances in private.
Sheng Yu quietly asked him what to do.
Zong Jiu did not speak.
The white-haired young man brought the pill to his face and smelled it, frowning slightly.
To eat or not to eat?
There was no label on the medicine bottle, so they had no idea what medicine it was. But combined with the dizziness and weakness I felt when I just woke up, it was probably sedatives or antipsychotics commonly used in mental hospitals.
In a strange hospital full of mysteries, there are medicines of unknown origin that you can’t take even if you think about it with your toes. What's more, they are not mentally ill at all.
As if they had guessed what the trainees were thinking, several nurses stood there, distributing pills and staring at each person with sharp eyes, wanting to watch them swallow them before giving out the next pill.
If you don’t eat it, you are violating the third rule. No one wants to be the first guinea pig to experience what the head nurse calls the confinement room.
A nurse said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't waste time."
Everyone hesitated for a moment and then showed off their abilities.
Glasses quietly raised his head to see the Messiah who drank water and swallowed the medicine.
But unfortunately, due to the angle, he couldn't tell whether the other party had swallowed the pill in his hand.
The nurse who was staring at Messiah moved his eyes away with satisfaction and fell on the glasses.
Those gazes made the back of his glasses shiver, and he quickly stuffed the white pills into his mouth while trembling.
"What else can I do? Just eat."
On the other side, Zong Jiu moved his fingers imperceptibly and threw the pills directly into his mouth.
After everyone had finished swallowing, the head nurse suddenly ordered: "roll up their sleeves, open their mouths, and lift their tongues."
It's over.
His heart thumped in his glasses, and he didn't care about the lack of water at this time, so he swallowed it dry with saliva. Many people in the restaurant had the same reaction as him. The worst thing was that an overly nervous trainee was startled and coughed repeatedly. He accidentally coughed up the pills he had not swallowed and rolled them to the ground along with his saliva.
The trainee's face was now as pale as the nurses'.
The head nurse sneered and waved her hand. A group of powerful caregivers appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the trainee's feet, dragged him away without any explanation, and disappeared into the dark corridor.
[Wu Cao, this kind of coercion looks so scary...]
[To be honest, in this kind of terrifying dungeon, the first one is usually the one who is killed to scare the monkeys. It’s so miserable that I guess he won’t be able to come back]
[This dungeon is not easy. It starts with a big move. Now I am very curious about what kind of medicine the head nurse gave them.]
[Go back upstairs, it should be antipsychotics such as luminal, chlorprothixol or chlorpromazine]
After a moment, the screams of the trainees in the corridor suddenly stopped, and the next moment the heavy iron door was locked.
This is confinement.
The restaurant was quiet, no one spoke.
Seeing that the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was achieved, the head nurse nodded with satisfaction, said a word about free activities, and turned around to leave.
Not all the trainees who entered the venue gathered in the restaurant, and a few chose to explore directly. Presumably these nurses also have to deliver medicine to those people.
Zong Jiu stared at the white clothes of the nurses disappearing into the darkness. He suddenly curled up his lips and opened his palms.
As if by magic, an intact white tablet was lying there quietly in the palm of his hand.
