San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 1217 Summer Memories (10)
However... Xiao Tan didn't need to look at any steps. Doctor Wang's medical education wasn't for nothing. Dissecting humans was a piece of cake, let alone a frog.
After scanning the contents of the handout in ten seconds, Wang Tanzhi immediately looked serious and said to Xiao Ling beside him in a commanding tone, "Xiao Ling, shine the flashlight for me."
"Okay." Xiao Ling responded very obediently and did as she was told, without any intention of arguing with Xiao Tan.
Then, Xiao Tan looked up at the lab table, his eyes darting around, quickly confirming the locations of all the necessary items. Next, he walked around the lab table, collecting all the required tools into a metal tray before returning to his original position.
"Time is tight, I'll start now." As Xiao Tan spoke, Xiao Ling had already raised the flashlight in her hand, steadily shining it on the surface of the table in front of Xiao Tan.
The dissection work... began in full swing.
Xiao Tan placed the metal tray containing the tools on his right-hand side, placed another tray lined with paraffin wax in front of him, and used thumbtacks to fix the frog's corpse to the surface of the paraffin wax, with its abdomen facing up.
Then, he picked up a scalpel and decisively made his first cut...
His hands were very steady, so steady that you wouldn't think they were human hands, but rather some kind of precision machinery—this wasn't a buff or ability in the game, this was something Wang Tanzhi could do in real life, and was very skilled at.
Two seconds later, Xiao Tan made an incision from the top down, limited by the lower jaw, cutting open the frog's abdomen.
This cut... if too light, it wouldn't completely open the abdominal cavity; if too heavy, it could easily damage the internal muscles. Xiao Tan's strength was just right, it could be said that he cut a smooth, straight incision in the fastest and most perfect way.
"The muscles are all normal." After peeling back the skin, Xiao Tan glanced at it and said this, then proceeded to cut open the flesh.
"Um... do you need us to help record these inspection items?" At this time, An Yueqin also came over to look at the handout. She found that there were a lot of items that needed to be "confirmed," so she asked.
"It's okay, I can do it myself." Xiao Tan replied without looking up, "Although it looks quite complicated, most of the things that need to be confirmed are actually obvious at a glance. I've already looked at all the external organs when I fixed the corpse, now I just need to take out the internal organs one by one, and finally deal with the spine and brain..."
"Oh... then... good luck." An Yueqin found that after Xiao Tan picked up the scalpel, his whole person became more confident and assertive; it felt like... she was communicating with a stranger, and it wasn't easy to continue the conversation.
Time passed minute by minute, but the five people around him didn't feel nervous at all, because the Wang Tanzhi in front of them seemed more reliable than ever before—his technique was skilled, his eyes were firm, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any dragging or hesitation.
Sure enough, in just fifteen minutes, he completed all the requirements on the handout and confirmed all the "to be confirmed" items.
On the table, there was a set of frog skin that had been emptied, a pile of muscle tissue, and organs and bones that were placed in more than a dozen plastic dishes; each part was in a relatively complete state, looking like it could be sealed up and used as a specimen immediately.
It could be said that Xiao Tan's dissection work was meticulous, precise, and flawless... the quality was high enough to be directly used as an instructional video; even a layman could see how amazing he was.
[Dissection complete. Time and completion rate meet standards.] When Xiao Tan's hand stopped, the system voice also sounded.
The next second, another drawer popped out on the side of the lab table. Obviously, it contained the required task items for what was to come next.
At this moment, Xiao Tan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression returned to his usual somewhat silly and cute state.
"Uh..." As he put down the tools in his hand, Xiao Tan frowned slightly, "I didn't feel anything when I was focused just now, but now that I've relaxed... the wound hurts a little again."
"Are you okay? Did the wound open?" Xiao Ling asked with concern.
"It won't open, I treated it myself..." Xiao Tan replied, "Back in July and August, I was transferred to the ER (emergency_room, that is, the emergency room) every other day to help out; I'm very skilled at dealing with external injuries."
"Eh? Xiao Tan-ge, you're a doctor?" Gui Xiao heard this and finally understood.
"Yeah." Wang Tanzhi replied, "But I'm still an intern."
"Awesome, awesome..." Gui Xiao continued, "I originally thought Feng Bujue was joking when he called you 'Doctor Wang,' but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Haha... it's nothing amazing." Xiao Tan said with an awkward smile.
"What? You sound like you admire doctors a lot." Feng Bujue said.
"Yeah, my parents have always been telling me since I was a kid to become a doctor or lawyer when I grow up; although it doesn't look like I'll be going down those two paths based on the current situation, I have learned about the things you need to study to work in those two professions... so the admiration arises spontaneously..." Gui Xiao continued.
"Hehe... young people are naive after all..." Feng Bujue laughed as soon as he heard this, "There are a lot of scoundrels in these two professions too, I know a lot... for example..."
"Okay, let's stop there." Ruoyu seemed to know what Jue-ge was going to say next, so she quickly stopped him, "Don't bring up the stories of the psychiatrists you drove crazy, and the lawyers you and Ouyang Jian drove crazy, to let more people know; it's not something to be proud of in the first place."
"Right..." Gui Xiao also quickly chimed in after hearing Ruoyu's words, "I don't want to deepen my understanding of you, and I don't want to care about the doctor-patient disputes and civil lawsuits that you, Feng Bujue, are involved in; don't even think about using your various deeds to further corrode my upright worldview."
Although his words had a hint of sarcasm, they weren't entirely unreasonable...
"Ha! Okay~ Okay~" Jue-ge chuckled drily, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said dejectedly, "Well, it's your loss anyway..." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the drawer that had popped out, "Then let's continue with the story."
............
Five minutes later, the players arrived at the door of the bathroom again.
In these five minutes, they checked the items they had obtained and discussed their next actions.
First of all, let's talk about the items they took from the drawer in the biology classroom...
Similar to the music classroom, after solving the puzzle in the room, they obtained four props as well.
First, still an incongruous task item that could be taken out of the script.
[Name: Cowboy Boots]
[Type: Story Related]
[Quality: Normal]
[Function: Unknown]
[Can be taken out of this script: Yes]
[Remarks: Western-style cowboy boots with very high heels, genuine calfskin with hand stitching.]
When they only got the wig, everyone didn't feel anything yet, but with the appearance of the sunglasses and these boots, the players all thought of it at the same time... this series of task items that could be taken out seemed to be the kind of "wearable things," and they wondered if this would have anything to do with the subsequent plot.
Next, let's talk about the second one.
That was also a task item, and it was related to the plot.
[Name: "It's" Liver]
[Type: Story Related]
[Quality: Normal]
[Function: Can be embedded in "It's" torso.]
[Can be taken out of this script: No]
[Remarks: A miniature organ made of green jade, faintly revealing spiritual energy.]
Except for the name, the description of this item was exactly the same as ["It's" Lung]. Obviously, their functions were also the same—both were one of the components of the shrine puppet at the exit, and meritorious contributors to the author's word count.
Let's look at... the third.
Like the setting in the music classroom, it was also a piece of paper, and everyone could probably guess the contents of the paper—"Sawada-kun is excellent. He is the only student who has completed the entire dissection process on his own. Maybe he will really become a doctor. Anyway, he is better than a half-baked teacher like me who teaches children in the countryside."
Combined with the situation in the biology classroom, it could be assumed that the paper was the biology teacher's inner thoughts or a message, but unfortunately... that biology teacher didn't even have any dialogue, only groans and screams.
Finally, the fourth item was the [Chairman's Office Key]...
Although the name was different, the "Chairman's Office" was the "Principal's Office." After searching, everyone also knew that this room was not on the first floor. Therefore, the next exploration... would undoubtedly develop to the second floor.
However, at this time, Feng Bujue made a suggestion—that was to explore the two toilets on the first floor first.
Call it obsessive-compulsive disorder, call it perfectionism... anyway, he felt uncomfortable leaving these two places that could be entered, but had not been searched yet.
The teammates didn't have any objections to this.
They were all high-end players of Thriller Paradise; what kind of urine was a Nightmare difficulty script... who didn't know?
If you want to clear the game, you can't be afraid of trouble, and you can't avoid those spaces or plots that make you uncomfortable or even afraid... otherwise, it will lead to even more difficult situations.
So, the six people followed Feng Bujue back to the door of the bathroom.
At this moment, something that was bound to happen sooner or later... finally happened.
Jue-ge's flashlight... suddenly went out without any warning; there was no sound, no flicker, it just went out silently.
Fortunately, Gui Xiao, who was in charge of guarding the rear, still had a flashlight that was on, so the players wouldn't be plunged into complete darkness.
"Look, I told you I was right, it's out of battery." Feng Bujue looked at his flashlight and said smugly, "My consciousness... if not considered divine calculation, it's at least far-sighted, right?"
"Okay~ I admit you're farsighted." Ruoyu stretched her voice and praised him in Jue-ge's own tone.
"Hey... my flashlight has been on for about the same amount of time as yours." Gui Xiao said at this time, "Since yours is out, will mine be out soon too?"
"Exactly, you can turn it off now." Feng Bujue replied immediately, and turned to Xiao Tan and said, "Xiao Tan, switch to your light."
"Roger." Xiao Tan responded and turned on his flashlight.
Seeing this, Gui Xiao immediately turned off his one, wanting to preserve the last bit of power for a rainy day.
In the same second, Feng Bujue continued, "Alright... everyone has seen it, from the time we got the flashlights to now, we've only passed through two rooms; that is to say, it hasn't even been an hour, and the flashlight battery is exhausted. Considering that everyone has turned on the flashlight during this hour, so... according to my rough estimate, in another thirty minutes, we may be facing a dead end in complete darkness."
"Okay, stop scaring people, tell us what you're thinking." An Yueqin knew that Jue-ge's speaking pattern... was all a routine, and he would come up with a solution next.
"Heh... simple." Feng Bujue said, "Split up."
"Understood." In less than two seconds, Ruoyu replied, "Actually, I was thinking about this too." As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes at the entrance of the bathroom, "It's not very efficient for six people to explore two toilets together, but if we split into two groups, we can explore two toilets at the same time and save half the time."
"Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to say." Feng Bujue responded, "Everyone... what do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, no one raised any objections, not even Gui Xiao and Xiao Tan, who were relatively timid, didn't say a word.
Before, when all six people's flashlights still had power, they didn't feel anything... and they weren't too worried about the battery problem.
However, the moment Jue-ge's flashlight went out, a pressure rushed towards the players' psychological defenses like a beast chasing them.
They finally knew how long a flashlight could last, and they roughly estimated how long the other flashlights could last, but... they didn't know how long it would take to escape from this school.
It was under this conflict and gap between the known and the unknown that the sense of urgency was spawned, and then evolved into a fear.
"Hehe..." Feng Bujue was still very relaxed. To him, no matter how bad the situation was, there would always be a way; therefore, he could still smile and say, "If everyone has no objections, then let's split into two groups, men and women, and search each side."
Just like that... the six players were divided into two teams of three men and three women.
On the men's side, Xiao Tan was naturally responsible for holding the light; on the women's side, it was decided that An Yueqin, whose flashlight had the most power, would hold the light.
The two sides agreed on a time limit and a plan of action to shout for help in case of unfavorable situations, and then walked into the two toilet entrances in opposite directions...
