Chapter 86: I Became a God in a Horror Game (Unlimited) (1/2)
Mu Ke’s memory wasn’t so exaggerated. He couldn’t read through a bookcase of books and remember them without errors in 15 minutes. Even if he really had photographic memory, he couldn’t turn the book pages so fast. Mu Ke couldn’t remember things so quickly.
He had to read through so many books to find the notes and clues in them. Mu Ke’s memory might be outstanding among normal people but like he told Bai Liu, he needed at least one night. How could Mu Ke stay safely in the ICU all night?
Thinking of Bai Liu and his plan, Mu Ke gazed at Miao Feichi with a type of sincere plea. “I can’t break into the ICU alone but I can remember the contents. Meanwhile, you can break in. Isn’t it just right to take me? You provide force and I will provide my memory. There is no better combination than this.”
Miao Feichi watched Mu Ke for a while before suddenly laughing. “You came to take refuge in us for this?”
Mu Ke lowered his head and didn’t speak. He played with his fingers, tacitly acquiescing.
“You say you can use shorthand but how can we just believe it?” Miao Feichi gave Miao Gaojiang a look, his tone filled with strange displeasure. “An ordinary player even dares to use us… forget it. Dad, you go and check his shorthand function. If he can really remember things then we will take him with us when we go to the ICU at 9 o’clock tonight.”
Miao Gaojiang glanced at Mu Ke and waved his hand. “Come here with me.”
Mu Ke took a deep breath and kept up.
At 8:30 p.m., the first floor of the hospital.
Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang’s confinement only lasted until 6 o’clock in the evening. At 6 o’clock, the two men were allowed by the nurse to move.
Mu Ke passed Miao Gaojiang’s memory test. He could remember the page number and footnotes of every page he had read. This shocked Miao Gaojiang to a certain extent. He had never come into contact with a pure natural genius like Mu Ke. After all, Miao Feichi was a bad student as a child and couldn’t even pass the high school entrance examination. Miao Gaojiang had to pay money to get him in. Miao Gaojiang never knew that there were children like Mu Ke in this world.
Previously at 7:30 p.m., the three people came down for dinner and discussed how to attack the ICU. The process of the discussion was very simple.
Miao Feichi declared, “I am A.”
Miao Gaojiang wondered, “You will go to that position?”
“The old rules. How many sections will you open?”
“Like you, so Bai Liu and that ICU monster. If it is fast then it will be over in three minutes.”
The tacit understanding developed after many games meant the two people didn’t need to talk about the specific offensive process. It wasn’t known how many monsters they had killed in level 2 instances. Just a few words were enough to determine each other’s positions.
Mu Ke listened to the side and couldn’t understand what these two people were talking about. He angrily gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, wanting these two people to say words he could understand!
Mu Ke thought about how Bai Liu was still able to maintain his sense of reason to give Mu Ke task instructions with the key caps despite being seriously injured. He was angry and envied the tacit understanding between the Miao father and son. It would be nice if he and Bai Liu had this type of father-son tacit understanding… Mu Ke thought with a bit of sadness.
It was 8:55 p.m.
The nurses on the first floor left the ward and corridor one by one to go to the nurse’s office. They started to conduct the 15 minutes shift debriefing. Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang exchanged looks without saying a word. They took out their weapons and started to approach the ICU quietly. There was a nurse at the ICU checking the patient’s ventilator. After taking the temperature of Bai Liu and the other patient for the last time, the last nurse also left the ICU at the urging of the other nurses.
She closed the door of the ICU.
It was 8:57 p.m.
The nurse walked into the nurse’s office, turned around and closed the door. The moment the door of the nurse’s office was closed, Miao Feichi flung out his two knives, his tone heavy. “I will unlock the door. You guys follow me in.”
Miao Feichi’s double knives were very long and curved sharp knives that were almost bent into the shape of a quarter moon. Thus, they had a very elegant name called the Crescent Moon Curved Knives. However, when Bai Liu lived in the welfare home as a child, sometimes he and Lu Yizhan would need to do farming work. Sometimes it was an experience activity and sometimes it was something they really needed to do, such as cutting ragweed. This meant Bai Liu couldn’t associate this weapon with elegance.
He would only call this knife by one name when seeing it: cutting ragweed knife, abbreviated to ragweed knife. During the time when Bai Liu was discussing the plan, he had said the same thing to Mu Ke, that Miao Feichi used a ragweed knife. His tone was too arrogant and made Mu Ke think the knife was really called that name.
Therefore, when Mu Ke saw Miao Feichi using this curved knife and carefully inserting the tip of the knife into the lock to pick the lock without disturbing the nurse, he couldn’t help asking in a confused manner, “Why are you using a ragweed knife to pick the lock? Can’t you find a lock picking item in the system?”
The moment this name came out, Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang’s expressions twisted. Miao Feichi had always been proud of the high attack power of these two curved knives. Now hearing Mu Ke use ‘Ragweed Knife’ to describe his blades, Miao Feichi was so angry that he couldn’t speak clearly. He said incoherently, “Who told you that this is a fucking pig knife!”
(TL: So when joined together, the characters become ragweed. Yet when separate, the first character means pig. So due to Miao Feichi speaking incoherently, it sounds like pig instead.)
