"Hehe..." Han Yimo smiled bitterly, "Dr. Zhao, you're overthinking. As a novelist, the last thing I want to talk about is my own work... If I have free time, I want to temporarily forget everything in my work and relax."

"Then let's talk about something else!" Dr. Zhao was slowly stitching up the wound. However, this wound was round-shaped, making it more complicated to stitch up than a normal wound. He composed himself and asked, "Tell me, how do you usually relax besides writing?"

"I... play games."

Dr. Zhao nodded, "That's great. I also play games when I finish work. What games do you play?"

Due to excessive blood loss, Han Yimo's thinking was very slow at the moment. After a while, he said, "League of Legends... There's a female ninja named 'Akali' in it, and I really like this character."

"Oh?" Dr. Zhao smiled, "That's a coincidence. I also play League of Legends and I really like Akali."

Although he spoke calmly, everyone could see his hands trembling slightly. After all, as a doctor for many years, this was the first time he was stitching up a wound without anesthesia while the patient was awake. Now, no one knew if he really liked this character or if he simply wanted to continue the conversation following Han Yimo's topic.

"Do you also like Akali, Dr. Zhao?" Han Yimo weakly nodded, "I'm fascinated by everything about Akali... This female ninja called the 'Shadow Fist,' I feel like her backstory..."

Dr. Zhao's hand paused slightly, then he touched Han Yimo's face and asked, "Han Yimo, can you see me?"

"Hmm?" Han Yimo didn't understand why Dr. Zhao suddenly asked this question and could only answer, "I can see you..."

"Who am I?"

"You are Dr. Zhao..."

After hearing Han Yimo's answer, Dr. Zhao nodded again and said, "Han Yimo, you are experiencing hallucinations now. You must stay awake."

"Hallucinations?" Han Yimo felt that his current state was still normal and didn't understand what Dr. Zhao meant, "Aren't I having a normal conversation with you? How could there be hallucinations..."

"It should be a symptom of excessive blood loss. Your brain is not getting enough blood supply. Like you mentioned, Akali, her hero title is 'The Rogue Assassin,' not 'Shadow Fist.'"

"The Rogue Assassin?" Han Yimo squinted his eyes, hesitating. He had never heard of this name before. Could it be the reason for the hallucination?

Qiao Jiajin poked Qi Xia next to him and asked, "Qi Xia, what are they talking about?"

"I don't know." Qi Xia shook his head, "I don't play games, so I don't understand."

"I have played video games before." Qiao Jiajin pursed his lips, "But I haven't heard of this game they're talking about. Is this hero versus game more interesting than 'Legend of the Hungry Wolf'..."

Qi Xia didn't want to participate in this topic, so he walked to the side and found a clean stone to sit on.

He was thinking about something else.

The conversation between Han Yimo and Dr. Zhao fell silent, probably because Han Yimo had too many hallucinations, making it impossible to continue the conversation.

The atmosphere among the group gradually became silent.

Lin Qin realized that she couldn't be of much help, so she sat down next to Qi Xia.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Qin asked.

Qi Xia turned his head and glanced at Lin Qin, his expression cold.

"This is the second time you've asked me 'what are you thinking.' Do you always ask patients so directly when you do psychological counseling?"

"But you're not my patient." Lin Qin shook her head, "We don't call the person seeking counseling 'patients,' it's impolite. I'm just curious. As a smart person like you, what's going on in your mind?"

"I'm thinking about my wife." Qi Xia opened his mouth with a melancholy expression.

"Your wife?" Lin Qin silently nodded, "You said earlier that someone is waiting for you outside. Is that person your wife?"

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded.

Lin Qin smiled slightly, "I didn't guess this answer. So you're already married?"

"Why can't I get married?" Qi Xia felt that Lin Qin seemed to have something else to say.

"I didn't mean to offend you. But you're a swindler, so what kind of person is your wife?"

"You..." Qi Xia was rarely angry. He stood up slowly, his eyes extremely cold, "What do you mean? I'm a swindler, so the person who can marry me can only be from the lowest class, is that right?"

"Ah? I..." Lin Qin was frightened by Qi Xia's momentum, "I really didn't mean to offend you. I was just curious..."

"I advise you not to be curious about me." Qi Xia still spoke coldly, "I'm a swindler, so what I say won't be the truth."

The conversation between the two ended on a sour note, but Lin Qin's expression didn't seem to mind.

On the other side, Dr. Zhao finally finished stitching up the wound."That's about it..." Dr. Zhao said as he wiped the blood off his hands, "We've done all we can. Now we can only hope the wound doesn't get infected."

"Thank you..." Han Yimo's lips were pale as he slowly spoke to Dr. Zhao.

Seeing that everything had come to an end, Qi Xia slowly stood up and said to everyone, "It's time to say goodbye."

The other eight people showed confusion at his words.

Goodbye?

"Where are you going?" Qiao Jiajin asked.

"That's none of your business." Qi Xia looked at the restaurant across the street, deep in thought.

"You're not really going to seek the 'Path', are you?!" Officer Li was taken aback.

"What? Do you have any advice?" Qi Xia seemed to accept this answer.

"With all due respect, you're courting death." Officer Li shook his head helplessly, "Three thousand six hundred 'Paths'! Do you understand what that means?! If you could obtain a 'Path' each time, you would have to clear three thousand six hundred of those near-death games!"

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "It sounds like the odds are very slim, but there's still hope, right?"

"Hope?" Officer Li sighed, "Ten days, three thousand six hundred games, that's an average of three hundred and sixty games a day. Even if you did nothing but clear games all day, there wouldn't be enough time. Not to mention, you could die at any moment in the game, but if you do nothing, you'll only die after ten days."

After a pause, he continued, "And this 'death' is based on the assumption that everything the 'Dragon of Human' said is true. In other words, we may not necessarily die after ten days, and this place may not necessarily be destroyed. Even if you find all three thousand six hundred 'Paths', he may not let you out."

"I understand all that." Qi Xia interrupted Officer Li, "But I'm not planning to wait here. Even if I just go out for a walk, it's better than staying here."

"But you..." Officer Li wanted to argue with Qi Xia, but the door to the staff lounge creaked open again.

Everyone turned to look. The female shop assistant from before walked out.

She was naked, her mouth smeared with grease, clutching something in her hand. Her emaciated body seemed to be nothing but bones.

Zhang Chenze frowned slightly, took off her own women's suit, and draped it over the woman.

She turned to look at the men, her face slightly angry, "What on earth did you guys do in the room? Where are this girl's clothes?"

Qiao Jiajin shook his head helplessly, "It's a long story, I suggest you stop worrying about her."

"You're a good person." The female shop assistant stared at the clothes draped over her, then at Zhang Chenze, "It's a pity you're not a man, otherwise I would definitely want to sleep with you."

"Sleep?" Zhang Chenze was startled by the girl, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Since we can't sleep, then I'll give you this to eat..."

She opened her dirty hand, holding a baby's arm that had been boiled to a pulp.
