Qi Wuguo and Duan Li looked at each other, then nodded.

Duan Li asked, "How is his injury?"

The NPC doctor shook his head and said, "It seems that he is unlucky..."

"Lucky?" Duan Li asked.

The doctor did not answer directly, but sighed: "There is no other way for those who are scratched by snails."

Qi Wuguo understood the doctor's meaning from what he said. Could it be that the snails grew out of the injured man's wound?

Things sound a bit unbelievable.

In the real world, there are indeed parasites that live in the human body.Apart from the common medical records, the most unbearable parasites that Qi Wuguo has seen are in the rainforests of South America.

At that time, he was looking for a local guide to lead the way for collecting wind, and lived in the rainforest for a period of time.

One day at the group camp, rescuers rescued an explorer who was exploring alone in the rainforest and lost his way due to heavy rain.

When the medical staff were giving emergency treatment to the explorers in the camp, Qi Wuguo saw something.

There were quite a few raised places under the explorer's skin, and those raised little meat balls were even swimming around.

Afterwards, Qi Wuguo saw the medical staff pick up the skin there, and picked out wriggling bugs from inside.

Could the current situation be similar to that of the parasite?

It's just that if it's just an incomprehensible parasitic snail, why does the doctor look like this person is terminally ill and there is no cure for it.

Qi Wuguo knew that his identity was not suitable for the diagnosis of NPC doctors, so he moved closer to Duan Ruo's ear and lowered his voice.

"Ask him why he didn't pick out the snails."

Duan Li frowned slightly, a little surprised at Qi Wuguo's guess, but his face didn't show the slightest bit, but he asked: "Why didn't you pick out the snail?"

Sure enough, the NPC doctor did not express any objection to this sentence, which meant that Qi Wuguo's guess was completely accurate, and the little blue-green unknown object that exposed the wound was really a conch.

The NPC doctor glanced at Duan Li and said, "Let's talk outside."

The three of them sat down in the office next to them, and Qi Wuguo knew that the question just now should have started this plot line when he saw the state of the NPC doctor.

The doctor said: "You just came to the island, so you don't know the situation on our side. There have been several cases of patients like this before."

Speaking of this, the doctor seemed to remember something, but he couldn't see any expression of paleness from his dark skin.

It's just that Qi Wuguo could tell from his eyes and body movements that it was definitely not a pleasant memory.

After a short pause, the doctor continued: "I was on duty when I saw the first case. I thought it was ordinary snails stuck to the wound, so I tried to enlarge the wound and take out the conch."

"As a result, after I enlarged the wound with a scalpel, I found that the flesh growing under the conch shell was connected to the patient's muscles."

Qi Wuguo had a very rich imagination, and based on the doctor's few words, he simulated the scene at that time in his mind.Even with Qi Wuguo's strong psychological endurance, he couldn't help frowning at this kind of thing that challenged his psychological limit.

Duan Li asked more carefully: "What does it mean to be connected to the patient's muscles?"

The doctor explained: "I tried to cut the knife from the place where it fit the shell, but the patient screamed in pain, which was very painful."

Hearing this, Qi Wuguo couldn't help asking: "When the wound is enlarged, you should have performed local anesthesia, right? Why does the patient still feel pain?"

The doctor shook his head: "I don't know, I did perform local anesthesia, and the patient didn't show any pain when the incision was enlarged."

Things got a little strange, Qi Wuguo asked again: "What happened after that?"

"I didn't dare to touch the conch afterward. After suturing, I asked the patient to go home and observe. After all, the conch looked a little scary when it went out, and it didn't bring any adverse effects to the patient's body." The doctor paused, "But after a while After two days, the patient came to the door again."

What happened after that was even more creepy.

The patient's wound was also on the calf. The condition was similar at that time. The wound was not long, but a shallow one.

When the patient came to the clinic again, he found that there were grains of unknown objects raised under the skin from the wound on his calf to his thigh.

When the doctor pressed it down, he felt that the unknown object inside was very hard, similar to the conch he saw in the wound two days ago.

At the patient's insistence, the doctor performed another operation. He cut open the raised area of ​​the skin and found that it was indeed a conch.

These conch shells are exactly the same as the previous one, except for some differences in size, and the volume of the conch shell closest to the wound has become larger.

Judging from the size of the conch, these newly appeared smaller conchs seem to have reproduced from the original conch.

This weird situation frightened the doctors, nurses and even the patients present.

Afterwards, they discussed and decided to remove all the conch.Based on the spreading situation, it is speculated that if the conch is not removed, the skin of the patient's whole body will be parasitized by the conch within a week.

For his own life, the patient endured great pain and survived the entire operation process.

After the conch was removed, the patient's vital signs were stable and he was hospitalized for observation.

However, that night, when the nurse made the ward rounds, she found that the patient had died quietly on the hospital bed.

The nurse notified the doctor on duty, and they found that the patient's internal organs had completely disappeared and his stomach was empty.

The doctor thought of removing the conch at that time, and the patient kept wailing about his stomach pain.

Was it not the conch that was removed at that time, but the internal organs of the patient?

Afterwards, the clinic saw a few more patients with the same condition, but this time the doctors did not dare to perform an operation to remove the conch, and could only suture and disinfect the conch, and let the patient go home to recuperate.

Hearing this, Qi Wuguo asked, "If it's not cut off, will the situation be better?"

The doctor smiled wryly and said, "It's just a little longer than direct resection. At least I don't have to suffer the pain of being resected alive."

Qi Wuguo asked about the situation of the remaining patients, but the NPC doctor refused to go into details, only saying that they all passed away.

The NPC couldn't get any more information, so Qi Wuguo and Duan Li stopped entanglement, got up and left the clinic.

-

When Qi Wuguo and Duan Li arrived at the restaurant run by Jian Chen, it was busy there.

The restaurant was crowded with tourists who came out to look for food after a break, and there was actually no vacant seat in the entire restaurant.Even the seats reserved for players the day before were filled with tourists.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Jian Chen saw the player standing at the door, so he walked over and said, "There is no other way, let's go to the place where the kitchen staff eat."

Gong Rui also made a joke, saying: "You are the boss, you run away?"

"My purpose is to pass the customs, not to make money."

From this sentence, it can be seen that Jian Chen is a very experienced old player, and he will not lose himself in this extremely real ghost domain space.

He was right, making money or performance appraisals were just obstacles set up by NPCs in the process of clearing the game.

When the players are eating in the restaurant, when everyone is exchanging information, Jian Chen will naturally not miss such a crucial occasion.

Jian Chen's restaurant is not too big, and the environment of the place where the employees eat is not good.This is a vacant place in the warehouse, with a simple table and a few chairs.

However, everyone is not a person who cares about it, so they sat down directly.

While waiting for the food to be served, the players began to share some information they had obtained.

"Are those boxes the supplies delivered today?" Qi Wuguo asked suddenly.

Jian Chen looked in the direction he was pointing at: "Yes, I haven't had time to sort it out yet."

"The labels on those boxes are very uniform." Qi Wuguo frowned and thought for a while, digging out from his memory the last time he saw this sign.

He saw this sign on the pier. At that time, the sign was bigger and painted on the hull of the cruise ship.

Qi Wuguo asked: "Is it also on your supply package?"

Everyone nodded.

That thing is obvious, this sign is the uniform packaging of cruise ship cargo.

The players couldn't understand why Qi Wuguo paid attention to this insignificant sign. It didn't seem strange that the goods transported by the cruise ship were packaged uniformly.

As a newcomer, Gong Rui fully implemented the principle of seeing more and asking more questions. He directly asked, "Is there something wrong with this logo? Is it related to the main story of the game?"

Qi Wuguo smiled, and said: "This is only the first day, the main storyline of the game is not coming out so soon, I am just trying to collect relevant information, and then there are key clues, so that they can be connected together in the first place."

After finishing speaking, Qi Wuguo told the story of the cemetery and the clinic again.

The owner of the clinic is Duan Li, but Qi Wuguo knows that he doesn't like to talk in front of strangers, so he has already assumed the responsibility of reporting the clinic information.

His attitude was too taken for granted, and the players didn't feel anything wrong.

Adding in the matter of the parasitic conch, it sounds really chilling down the spine, even if Qi Wuguo just mentioned it in a few words, the players at the table all felt a little creepy.

The hotel run by Le Feiyun is built near the beach, and the sunny beach and the sea are just a few steps away.

However, she said that the tourists who checked in were a little strange. They were obviously on vacation, but they stayed in the room after checking in and did not go out.

Gong Rui asked: "What's so strange?"

Le Feiyun glanced at him and said, "When you go to the beach for vacation, what's the first thing you do after packing your luggage?"

"Of course I changed into beach pants, and lay down on the beach to enjoy the sea breeze."

"That's right, these tourists are obviously here on the island for vacation, but they are all nestled in their rooms." Le Feiyun frowned slightly, "If only one or two of them do this, it's okay, every tourist is like this, it's not too bad That's right."

What she said attracted everyone's attention. In this ghost domain space, all abnormalities are very important.

Maybe you can pass the customs because of this, maybe someone will die because of it, no matter what, you should pay more attention.

The amusement park and the casino have not yet opened for business, and the players who operate these two venues have not been able to provide any valuable clues for the time being.
