Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 99: Doctor Lao Yang, the Electrocution Technician

……

12:12

They scored consecutive points and tied the score!

"Awesome!"

Zhang Ze cheered again, and the mouse visibly trembled slightly. Perhaps Feng Xiaomin on the computer was also infected by this atmosphere, and her emotions were tinged with excitement.

The rest of the script is quite simple.

With their momentum unstoppable, they won the overtime game.

16:12

Game won!

"Great gun!"

"Awesome!"

"Nice!!"

The teammates in the game cheered and encouraged each other before leaving the game platform.

Xiaomen did not play the next game.

After a few seconds, open the in-game chat box and type the following message:

"Who are you?"

Feng Xiaomin was trying to communicate with Zhang Ze through this method.

Even though Feng Xiaomin didn't know who was sitting outside the computer, she could feel the enthusiastic atmosphere. She had never experienced such a scene, where many people were watching her play games and cheering her on, until her death.

Despite possessing exceptional esports talent, every training session and every match she entered was either secretly conducted in an internet cafe behind her parents' backs, or she would be taken to a mental hospital afterward and electrocuted until she became mentally impaired.

I never expected what would happen after I died.

Instead, she encountered people who truly respected and appreciated her.

"I am Zhang Ze, the owner of a haunted house."

Zhang Ze typed in the chat box.

The other party replied.

"Well, you cooked really well."

Zhang Ze: ……

"No, actually, it wasn't me who did it, it was my cousin," Zhang Ze said. "I heard your story, and I'm here to help you. I want to know what exactly happened in the second ward."

When the second ward was mentioned, Feng Xiaomin didn't answer for a long time.

Zhang Ze did not put any further pressure on her.

Instead, he stayed where he was and waited for her to organize her thoughts.

Several minutes passed before Feng Xiaomin finally gave a new answer, but she typed very slowly, as if she was thinking of some painful experience, so she hesitated to type out each word.

"I'm just a gamer, I don't know what happened in Ward 2, please don't ask me that question."

Feng Xiaomin dared not speak?

This situation was also within Zhang Ze's consideration.

Therefore, Zhang Ze had already called out Sadako long ago.

"Xiao Lin, go in and meet her. Tell her I mean no harm and that we need to talk," Zhang Ze said. "If she's willing to open up, I'll help her out of this predicament. She certainly doesn't want to be stuck in this old, broken computer with a frame rate that's barely over 30 fps for the rest of her life."

"As long as she's willing to come out, I'll buy her an i6090RTX and let Xiaomen play with her all day long."

Sadako nodded.

Based on their strength, she could easily tear Feng Xiaomin apart.

But Zhang Ze clearly did not intend to force the other party to back down.

When the other party is willing to negotiate, Zhang Ze is always very reasonable. The only pity is that he rarely encounters a vengeful ghost who can sit down and have a proper talk.

Sadako crawled into the computer.

A woman's face appeared on the screen without warning.

It was Sadako.

Sadako seemed to be talking to someone, but because her hair covered her face, Zhang Ze couldn't see what she was saying. The whole process only lasted a few minutes.

After a while, Sadako returned to reality.

"She agreed. She wanted to keep her game account so that as long as she logged into her account on another device, she could access that device and control the entire computer, even if it was running in the background."

The negotiations were successful.

As expected of a top-tier red dress.

A combination of firm and persuasive tactics works well.

The computer exited the game, perhaps because the game's chat window was too small, and instead opened the built-in chat window on the Steam platform, creating a conversation between itself and itself.

"Before we moved to the new hospital, nothing happened and everything was normal. Then a fire broke out, and Xiong Qing burned one of our patients to death. We were all very angry, but because of his mental illness, he didn't get any punishment."

"Later, the burned-down house was renovated. The new patients who were admitted reported that they would often wake up in a fright at night, and that they were paralyzed and unable to move. They could also see a woman with burns all over her body walking around the ward, muttering someone's name."

"But later, the doctors checked the surveillance footage, and even the nurses on night duty watched it several times, but they didn't find anything similar, so they assumed that the patient's condition had worsened."

"That's when I was admitted to the mental hospital."

"After I was admitted, the patients reported all sorts of strange phenomena, which intensified. I even saw the burned woman they had described. The burned woman didn't harm us; she seemed to be just looking for something."

"Later, everything changed when Professor Yang entered the hospital."

"Some patients experience a stress response when they see the triggering factor, and Professor Yang uses MECT (Mechanical Electroconvulsive Therapy) to treat them."

"Some patients experience somatization reactions, such as dizziness when walking, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Professor Yang also uses MECT (electroconvulsive therapy) to treat these patients."

"Later, even outpatients diagnosed with mild to moderate depression and whose symptoms were not severe were put on his electrotherapy table. We all called him the electrocution doctor."

"Professor Yang's electroconvulsive therapy did not alleviate the patients' phenomenon of seeing burned women; on the contrary, it intensified, and strange things kept happening in the hospital. Some people reported seeing women's hair in the pool, seeing the reflection of dead people in the mirror, smelling the burning smell in the middle of the night, and even dreaming that a hand reached out from under the bed and grabbed their feet during treatment..."

"I don't know what happened after that, because I died at that time. I couldn't leave the computer, and I couldn't see the world outside the computer. I could only perceive it to a certain extent."

"Thank you for playing with me. You are the only playmates I have met in the past few years."

After reading Feng Xiaomin's words.

Zhang Ze glanced at Sadako. Since Sadako could travel between electronic devices and reality, she could enter a computer and also Zhang Ze's own phone.

What if Feng Xiaomin could also access the phone?

"If I connect my computer and my phone with a data cable, try to access my phone. I'll take you away, and once we're out, I'll give you a top-of-the-line computer."

"It's a deal!" Feng Xiaomin's excitement was palpable.

Another new employee.

Zhang Ze took out his phone, deleted his browser history, and then connected it to the charger. After a while, he saw his phone's memo app start moving and showing some changes that did not belong to Zhang Ze.

For example, the background image shows a thin young girl.

They weren't wearing clothes.

It could also be that the resolution is too low, and the clothes didn't load.

Her figure was partially obscured.

It often disappears in a flash, making it hard to tell whether it's hidden in the phone or in some other app.

In short, it was housed in the form of electronic life.

Side quest complete!

"Where did Professor Yang go after that?"

"I don't know. I told you I died halfway through, and I don't know what happened after that," Feng Xiaomin replied to Zhang Ze through a memo. "But Professor Yang usually lives on the fourth floor of the administration building. His private ward, Ward 13, is right next to his office."
