St. Freya Hospital stands quietly in a corner of the island, surrounded by dense woods. In the foggy island climate, the outline of the hospital appears and disappears, giving people a sense of ethereal and mysterious, while also exuding an indescribable weird atmosphere. The outer wall of the hospital has been mottled and peeled off, revealing the red brick structure inside. These exposed red bricks have been eroded and devastated after years of baptism, as if telling the vicissitudes of the hospital's history. At the entrance of the hospital, weeds are overgrown, almost completely covering the original stone steps. The signboard of the hospital is already rusty, and the handwriting on it has become blurred due to the erosion of time. Only by carefully identifying it can you barely read the big words "St. Freya Hospital", as if witnessing the former glory and current decline of this hospital. Lin Yi carefully pushed open the half-open shabby door. As the door slowly moved, a dark, damp and cold air rushed towards him, mixed with a long-sealed stale smell. Stepping into St. Freya Hospital, the whole space felt unusually quiet, with only the footsteps of three people echoing in the empty corridor. Lin Yi looked around and found that the interior of the hospital was more dilapidated than the outside.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a chill, as if something was peeping at them in the dark. Although Revolver and the people's teacher did not communicate verbally, their expressions clearly revealed a sense of vigilance, and they had obviously felt the surveillance. Revolver held the pistol tightly, the safety was on, ready to meet any emergency at any time. His other hand gently rested on the spare magazine on his waist to ensure that the ammunition could be quickly replaced at a critical moment. The wind passed through the empty corridor, making a creepy whimper, as if countless wronged souls were crying. Lin Yi looked around, his eyes quickly passing over the mottled and peeling walls, the closed doors full of traces of time, and the yellowed old photos. He was looking for any unusual signs, trying to dig out useful information from the ruins and solve the mystery of the abandoned hospital. Lin Yi slowed down and walked forward carefully. He tried not to make any sound, so as not to disturb the unknown creatures that might be hiding in the dark. Every time he passed a closed ward door, he would pause slightly, hold his breath, and listen to the movement behind the door. Although most of the time he only heard the sound of the wind and his own heartbeat, he always maintained a high level of vigilance. "How is it, did you find anything?" Revolver asked in a low voice after a careful search. "No, there is nothing here except some traces of monsters ravaging it." The people's teacher responded, with a little disappointment in his voice. The people's teacher squatted on the ground and dug a handful of soil with the small shovel in his hand. Lin Yi looked closer and found that the soil was not the usual black, but a bright red, with some white broken bones mixed in it. The teacher carefully picked up a piece of broken bone, looked at it carefully and said: "It should be human broken bones." He began to try to piece together these broken bones, and in his hands, these broken bones gradually formed the shape of a complete skull. Obviously, when the drastic changes happened on the Terror Island, this hospital must have had a terrible tragedy. Just as Lin Yi was about to step into the hospital building, the sound of a revolver suddenly rang out, breaking the silence around him.
Lin Yi looked sideways and saw that several red vines that had protruded out were broken by the revolver and fell to the ground. Surprisingly, these broken vines actually curled up and quickly drilled into the ground, which was completely unlike ordinary plants. At this time, Lin Yi noticed that the surrounding vines had quietly surrounded the three of them. He suspected that these vines might have the ability to shield perception, because in his exploration, these vines would always be subconsciously ignored by him. It was not until Revolver fired that he realized that something was wrong. "Teacher, burn all these things." Lin Yi looked at the red vines that were gathering more and more around him. They were like hunting, blocking all the retreat routes of the three people. Revolver tightly grasped the gun in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and stood back to back with Lin Yi, ready to deal with emergencies at any time. "Okay, leave it to me." The people's teacher responded calmly, and he loosened the tie around his neck. The next second, five one-meter-long fireballs suddenly appeared beside him, and the blazing flames burned fiercely, illuminating the entire space. As the people's teacher waved his hand, the five fireballs seemed to be given life, whistling towards the vines. The moment the vines met the fireballs, they were immediately ignited, and the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire hospital. Unlike ordinary mages in Paradise, the people's teacher chose the development path of a magician. The reason why he could decipher the ancient text of the Falling Star was because he had absorbed a vast amount of knowledge in the Samsara Paradise. The fireball technique of the people's teacher was different, it had no cooling time. As long as he had enough mana, he could fire fireballs continuously like a turret. At this moment, he instantly condensed dozens of fireballs and shot them swiftly at the blood-red vines. The deafening explosion echoed around Lin Yi, and black smoke billowed up, obscuring his vision. When the smoke gradually dissipated, the originally dense blood-red vines were now scattered all over the ground, in ruins. And the surviving vines seemed to have sensed the power of the three people, and they retreated back to the ground and no longer showed their heads. For a moment, the courtyard in front of the hospital returned to its previous tranquility, except that many blood-red vine fragments were left on the ground. The people's teacher squatted down, picked up a fragment, and handed it to Lin Yi and Revolver after carefully examining it. The texture and color on the fragment revealed an unusual atmosphere. "This thing doesn't look like a normal plant." The people's teacher frowned and said. Shockingly, these seemingly ordinary vines have an amazing similarity to living organisms in their internal structure. The people's teacher carefully cut open the skin of a vine, revealing its complex internal structure. It is like a miniature biological organism, with a slender and dense network of blood vessels crisscrossing, continuously transporting crimson liquid. These liquids are crimson, almost the same as real blood, and they flow slowly inside the vines to provide nutrients for the vines. Between these blood vessels, some organs similar to internal organs are hidden. They are of different shapes and sizes, but they play their own important roles in the vines. These "internal organs" seem to have the same function as the digestive system, circulatory system and respiratory system in the body, and together they maintain the growth and metabolism of the vines.
Inside, in addition to the vascular network and internal organs observed before, there are countless sharp teeth hidden. These sharp teeth are usually hidden under the epidermis of the vines and are difficult to detect. However, when the vines sense the approach of prey, they will stretch out quickly and wrap the prey tightly. Then, the sharp teeth pierce into the body of the prey fiercely, and begin to suck blood and eat flesh frantically. The scene is extremely bloody and cruel. Under this cruel attack, the prey will soon lose the ability to resist and its life will gradually pass away. The large number of small white bones scattered in the courtyard are undoubtedly a silent witness to the cruel behavior of these vines.
