Chapter 76
The group passed through the fog and arrived at the destination.
As the fog dissipated, the ghosts around them also gradually disappeared, revealing the true face of the city.
The streets were bustling with people and traffic lights. It was as if they had returned to the normal world.
However, the porcelain doll in their arms reminded the players that they were still in the game.
Shen Dongqing looked back and saw that the kindergarten had already disappeared into the fog without a trace.
At the end of the street was a hospital. The closer they got to the hospital, the stronger the porcelain doll in their arms reacted.
Their bodies should be in this hospital.
People came and went in the hospital. The group did not attract any attention when they entered.
Under the guidance of the porcelain doll, the players arrived at the intensive care unit.
Twelve children were lying inside. Their faces were as white as paper. They were all wearing various equipment to keep them alive.
However, it seemed that their conditions were not good. Their chests were almost non-existent. It was as if their lives were about to come to an end.
Fang Qi whispered, “Are we still in the game?”
Everything looked too real. It was different from the game dungeons they had played before.
In the past, NPCs would kill people without saying anything. They usually did not have much interaction with the players. However, the NPCs here felt … too human.
Zhou Wenyan stuffed a porcelain doll into the hands of the children on the hospital bed at the door and said, “It’s real, but it’s also fake.”
The game was real, but the players were fake.
After all, the players did not belong to this world.
As for why the game trapped them in this world and made them experience one escape game after another, it was an unsolved mystery.
Fang Qi and the blonde woman did not understand. They helped put the porcelain dolls into the hands of the children.
As for Shen Dongqing, he did not think so much. In his heart, it did not matter if it was real or fake. As long as they could eat and play well, it was fine.
He was heartless, but he had no worries.
The blonde woman walked to a hospital bed and exclaimed, “Come and see!”
The others walked over and found a pile of toys in the corner. There were cards stuck on the toys. In childish handwriting, there were blessings written all over them.
[You must get better soon. Then we can play on the slide together — Yang Yang]
[Mom said that we will get better in autumn. I am waiting for autumn — Xixi]
[We are all waiting …]
[…]
Every card was signed by a classmate of the kindergarten.
Shen Dongqing said, “So it’s an obsession.”
The child who appeared at night in Hai Duo Kindergarten was not a ghost, but a trace of obsession.
They wanted to return to kindergarten to play with their classmates and friends. They wanted to protect their friends, so they left behind the purest obsession.
When the last porcelain doll was placed down, You Xi’s voice came from the speakers on the wall.
[You have left Hai Duo Kindergarten and completed the side quest.]
[Hai Duo Kindergarten is temporarily closed for upgrading. The map has expanded. Players, please wait patiently. It will be reopened soon.]
A white light flashed.
Through the white light, Shen Dongqing saw the children waking up one by one. Their faces were blank, and it was obvious that they did not remember what had happened during this period of time.
