Josh glanced at him: "He’s wearing a lab coat. In this hospital ruled by cats, only cats can be hospital workers. So, either he’s a cat disguised as a human, or he’s a player who, like Susanna, drew the Identity Card of a hospital worker."
Rob still didn’t understand: "So how do you know he’s not a player?"
Josh weighed the three buttons in his hand: "Fortune-telling."
"Fortune... fortune-telling?" Rob was dumbfounded: "What the heck? A personal skill?"
Josh chuckled: "Something like that."
She continued: "From this personal skill, I also learned that the old man just now had no ill intentions towards me, but a lot towards you. When he looked at me, his gaze was very clean and kind, with a gentle appearance. But when he looked at you, there was a lot of hostility."
Rob’s face turned black as he stared at her resentfully: "Just say I’m ugly and he doesn’t like me..."
Josh chuckled and patted his shoulder soothingly: "Although you’re quite self-aware, that’s not the reason."
Rob: "Thanks, but I’m not comforted."
Josh: "Besides, did you notice his walking posture? His left leg seems a bit lame, and when he grabbed my hand just now, I felt the calluses on the palm of his left hand, but I observed his right hand and there were no calluses."
Rob stroked his chin: "So, he’s left-handed? Wait, he just used chopsticks with his right hand."
Josh chuckled: "So, I guess the calluses on his left hand are from using a cane for many years."
Rob suddenly realized: "So you guessed he was the director?"
Josh shook his head: "Not entirely."
Rob was completely impressed by her mind: "What else?"
Josh: "He has a very distinctive smell of disinfectant on him. I smelled it before when Yuze and I burst out of his office. It came from him. That’s why I determined his identity."
With her cat-like body, her sense of smell was far more sensitive than ordinary people.
When she brushed past him at the director’s office door before, Josh memorized the scent.
Just now, she deliberately got close under the pretense of his coughing to confirm it was the same smell.
Rob looked at her conflictedly: "I thought the captain’s brain was already powerful at quad-core processing, but you’re like a sixteen-core processor, one step better than the other."
Josh patted his shoulder: "Let’s go."
Rob’s eyes lit up: "Did you leave any Spider Silk on him just now? That way we’ll have a clue!"
Josh shook her head: "The Spider Silk is running low, didn’t leave any."
Rob sighed, "Then let’s go."
Josh glanced in the direction the old man left, always having a strange feeling.
The four people gathered in the garden.
Yuze looked at the two of them: "Any clues?"
Josh nodded: "We ran into the director, what about you guys?"
Yuze shrugged: "We didn’t find anything. A lot of cat corpses were found after the fire incident, and now the whole hospital is in a panic. Doctors and nurses are urgently investigating various hidden dangers and patients without archive records."
Josh pursed her lips: "So, we need to find a place to stay now."
After 6 o’clock, they couldn’t go out anymore; monsters would be wandering outside.
And none of the four of them had a ward.
Josh was fine, she could turn into a cat.
But the other three obviously couldn’t.
If a nurse checked, all three of them would be sent back to the Greenhouse Pod.
Josh suddenly had a bold idea: "Maybe we could leave the hospital at night."
Yuze raised an eyebrow: "Leave here?"
Josh nodded: "Don’t forget, our main task is to promote peaceful coexistence between humans and cats. Apart from cats, the outside world might be within the scope of our mission."
Yuze thought about it: "That’s worth a try."
As night fell, it was half an hour before six o’clock.
The group walked to the hospital entrance.
The Catman guarding the gate was dozing off.
Josh tried to walk out but was bounced back.
[Sorry, the map hasn’t been unlocked yet. Please proceed after completing 50% of the main line progress to light it up.]
Josh frowned slightly and copied the system message into the group chat.
Yuze shrugged: "Looks like we still have to deal with this director first."
Yushi appeared silently beside them: "We should find a place to sleep, or tonight will be dangerous."
Yuze looked at Josh.
Josh thought for a moment, her eyes brightened: "I know a place we can sleep."
The three of them looked at her.
Josh: "The Greenhouse Pod."
The Greenhouse Pod wasn’t full; there were many empty pods.
Plenty of room to accommodate the three of them.
Rob’s eyes widened: "But didn’t we just escape from there? Going back in? Are you crazy!"
Her crazy idea had scared him quite a bit.
Josh smirked: "The most dangerous place is the safest. Those doctors and nurses, busy investigating hidden dangers, won’t expect us to go into the Greenhouse Pod to sleep by ourselves."
Yuze was obviously intrigued by this crazy idea: "I think it’s doable."
Yushi, seeing him agree, naturally joined in: "Doable!"
Rob was tongue-tied: "You’re a little poison standby!"
Yushi proudly stood tall.
To be a poison standby for the captain was his honor!
The minority obeyed the majority.
Rob had to go along with them to sleep in the Greenhouse Pod.
Josh used the key to open the control room door, and opened a few vacant Greenhouse Pods.
She looked at the three of them: "You guys go ahead, I’ll stay in the control room and keep the doors open for you anytime."
Rob was astonished: "You’re not coming with us to the Greenhouse Pod?"
Josh shook her head: "I’ll soon have to return to my cat form, cats won’t be driven away by monsters in the hospital."
Yuze frowned: "No."
Josh looked at him.
Yuze gave her a cool glance: "Although monsters won’t drive you away, don’t forget, the chaos was caused by the cat-abusing monster, becoming a cat is even more dangerous."
Rob also started to worry.
This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work either.
Surely, they couldn’t end up embarrassed in this small upgrade to A-level instance?
Yushi thought for a moment: "Then, as usual, grab a ward, and sleep. Beat up any patients who are unconvinced!"
Yuze smirked: "That sounds good."
Josh held her forehead: "And what if we encounter a strong rule-based instance? How will you deal with that?"
In a strong rule-based instance, there are absolute restrictions. Violating the rules would mean being killed and exiting the game.
Currently, the instance level is low, and they can pass through violently, but when it reaches the divine-level instances later, how will violence alone suffice?
Josh looked at them: "Let’s think of another solution."
Time ticked by, the night grew darker, and monsters in the shadows were beginning to stir.
Josh’s eyes suddenly lit up: "I know a place where we can sleep!"
"Where?" Yuze looked at her.
Josh: "The Greenhouse Pod of the divine-level experimental monster!"
Rob was dumbfounded: "Your little brain, why is each idea more dangerous than the last?"
