Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 963. The Infinite Time-Space Hotel (3)

But even if you don't know, you have to know.

Lin Xi looked as if he had just realized something.

"I know, it's about that intern..."

“It’s not over yet, and it’s in the news again,” Huang Jingjing interjected.

Lin Xi turned to Huang Jingjing and looked at the same phone with her.

The two people's heads were close together.

Zhang Yutong and the others also took out their phones to look.

The noodle shop owner also took out his phone.

"Damn, it really is!" the noodle shop owner exclaimed. "But what can we do? The hospital leadership has changed; the truth is definitely impossible to uncover now!"

"When was the person changed?" Lin Xi asked.

“Four years ago!” the noodle shop owner said. “The news made a huge fuss back then, and the hospital replaced a lot of people from top to middle management… but it didn’t help at all, and the hospital’s reputation still plummeted…”

The boss spoke as he hurriedly left.

No matter how big the social news is, it's not as important as him selling a few more bowls of noodles.

“Five years ago, Dr. Lu Lin’s suicide case was finally overturned…” Gan Ning murmured.

“It is a long-standing injustice that has not been redressed,” Zhang Xuesong interrupted Gan Ning.

"It was ruled a suicide five years ago, and again four years ago?" Huang Jingjing said. "There are so many doubts raised online, why was it ruled a suicide?"

"It seems... the hospital and the investigators were colluding?"

Lin Xi was watching the news.

The news reported that five years ago, when Lu Lin died, it was determined to be a suicide. The hospital compensated Lu Lin's parents with 890,000 yuan and had them sign a suicide confirmation.

However, Lu Lin's parents retrieved their son's computer and restored many of the files on it.

Among them was a whistleblower document that was nearly two thousand pages long.

This includes, but is not limited to, photos, videos, chat logs, etc.

"This recording is quite shocking. They actually removed a healthy person's liver. Whether he can live or die is up to fate," Zhang Yutong said.

"I've heard of people donating part of their liver to save their children. I thought the liver could regenerate? I don't know anything about that, I'm just talking nonsense!" Gan Ning said.

“Yes, the liver has regenerative capabilities,” Lin Xi said.

“But to perform surgery on a healthy person when the cause of the illness cannot be found is just too unethical! They have no conscience at all, just to make money,” Zhang Xuesong said.

"What followed was even more shocking: brain death was artificially created in order to use the patient's healthy organs!"

"Holy crap, is this a hospital or a slaughterhouse?!"

"It seems that person has already been arrested, before Lu Lin fell from the building."

"Well... if Lu Lin really was murdered, it means there's something deeper to uncover in the hospital."

"Of course! How could one person possibly cover up everything?"

"And where did all those healthy organs go?"

"Yes, they were all used to save someone's life!"

—Just a few players, but they're quite talkative.

—Yeah, they've been trying to steal our comments.

—Who stole your comments? Not only did the players not say, but you don't even know what news is.

—This slaughterhouse is terrifying.

So, Lu Lin didn't commit suicide; he was killed because he reported someone?
—Didn't you hear Gan Ning and the others say that when Lu Lin died, the director who committed the crime had already been arrested?

—Then someone else must have killed him.

—It's impressive that they still haven't found the murderer after five years.

—What's the point of investigating? The senior and middle management have all been replaced.

—The devil is among us!

—Huh? Why haven't 123 and Teacher Huang said anything?

—They've been to even more perverted dungeons and even more perverted hospitals.

—Yes, that welfare home.

—They were watching the news intently, that's why they didn't say anything, okay?

The noodles have arrived.

"Let's eat first." Lin Xi looked away from Huang Jingjing's phone and focused on the noodles in front of her.

"It looks delicious, I wonder how it tastes!"

"I guarantee it will be delicious," the noodle shop owner added.

The owner wasn't lying; the noodles were indeed quite delicious.

"Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?" Zhang Yutong asked while eating a big mouthful of noodles.

“It’s been five years. There’s definitely no evidence in the hospital, only rumors,” Zhang Xuesong replied.

"It might not even be a legend," Gan Ning said.

"Which floor did we stay on yesterday?" Lin Xi asked.

"Huh?" Gan Ning didn't react. "Fifth floor, what's wrong?"

"Let's go back to the hotel after dinner," Lin Xi said. "We'll check in again, and stay on... the basement level."

"There's also a basement level? How come I didn't notice it?"

“Yes, there are also negative two and negative three,” Huang Jingjing said.

"You mean... the fifth floor is five years from now, then the basement is..."

"Before Lu Lin fell from the building," Zhang Yutong interjected.

"Yes, it should be."

—What are the brains of this generation of players made of?

—I didn't see them exchanging anything, how come they're so in sync?

—Didn't you see it?
—I really didn't see it!

—Didn't you see them talking to each other? Didn't you see that they each had a cell phone?

——Damn, yes!

This morning, Teacher Huang added everyone to the group chat.

—Yes, but right now I'm only focused on Lu Lin's matter and forgot about joining the group.

So, this episode's theme isn't the hospital, but the hotel?
——Who knows!
Who cares what it is!
Just watch; the rest is not something we should worry about.

When Lin Xi and his group returned to the hotel, they were greeted by the automatic card dispenser again.

Lin Xi was the first to step forward to get a card, and without hesitation, she chose the basement level.

Great, there's still only one room type: double bed and single room.

Huang Jingjing and the others also chose negative one.

"Should we stay here a while longer? Or should we just leave? It's been six years since then," Gan Ning asked.

"I'm not sure, you can check at the entrance," Lin Xi said.

Gan Ning indeed ran to the door and looked outside.

“Five years from now,” Gan Ning said, then walked back.

“Let’s go to the basement level. I estimate we won’t be able to get back to where we were six years ago until tomorrow,” Zhang Xuesong said.

“No rush,” Huang Jingjing said. “I’m afraid that if I send out the video I recorded five years ago, it will be gone by the time I go back to six years ago.”

"Aren't we going back to change the past?" Zhang Yutong asked, puzzled. "Why do we still need to release the video?"

--The same question.

—Zhang Yutong is my mouth double.

—Yes, if the past cannot be changed, time travel or rebirth would be meaningless.

That makes a lot of sense.

—I really enjoy time travel in this game; so many dungeons allow you to go back in time.

—It's not that many instances allow you to go back in time; it's that 123 and Teacher Huang have items.

—The purpose of providing such props is to facilitate time travel.

—123 and Teacher Huang are always going back to the past, as if they have never thought about going to the future.

—That's a good idea.

—What a pity, 123 didn't watch the live stream.

“Who knows if we can change the past!” Huang Jingjing said. “Perhaps the Infinite Time Hotel is just a place for us to be bystanders.”
