Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 393: Appearance, Cooperation Among Alliances _1
"You were right, Green Plum Brews Wine. It didn’t crash. Instead, it fused into an entirely new Erroneous Sin," Wang Linchi observed, his gaze fixed on the white, humanoid entity in the hospital’s center. The creature was as large as a ward building and of Legendary Quality.
[Error-Series Spirit Seed: The Mistaken Doctor (Legendary Level)]
Upon the birth of The Mistaken Doctor, player outcry exploded, with everyone condemning the Desert Trio.
Just as Green Plum Brews Wine had said, the mastermind behind this remained untouched, while the Desert Trio took the fall. This was mainly because someone was intentionally directing the blame.
The Game System didn’t intervene directly but instead further sealed off the entire dungeon.
The only way to leave now was to complete the mission. Otherwise, even death would only result in respawning at the hospital entrance.
Simultaneously, 4,000 more players were introduced as reinforcements.
"Its bewitchment ability is too strong, and it’s insidious. We have to deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the more than five thousand of us will be trapped and die here." Green Plum Brews Wine racked his brains, searching for a solution.
The reason there were still over five thousand people was that players who had died previously weren’t removed from the dungeon but simply respawned at the entrance, so the total count remained unchanged.
This time, the players were genuinely panicking. If they couldn’t leave and kept dying, their attributes would be consumed. Once an attribute hit zero, it meant true death.
If they could leave this dungeon, they could recover their lost attributes in other dungeons, as not all of them were this difficult.
For a time, the entire hospital descended into chaos. With an additional four thousand people, it would have been strange if things hadn’t become disorderly.
Moreover, they immediately faced such an immense danger; anyone would be terrified.
"It’s not that easy. I think before you go looking for the enemy, you should help Hand of God. He looks like he’s barely holding on," Wang Linchi reminded him.
Hand of God was currently managing the overall situation, but he could only barely maintain control. Any further complications and he might not be able to cope.
Green Plum Brews Wine nodded. "You be careful then. Don’t get tricked."
With that, he hurried off.
Things were already chaotic enough. If the newly arrived players started causing trouble, everyone could just wait for death.
Once they had left, Wang Linchi finally spoke, "Alright, come on out. They’re gone. Stop hiding."
"As expected of someone on par with the leader. I must thank you for your help," a player emerged from the shadows.
He was indeed one of the first players to enter. His game name was Big Shark—a somewhat peculiar name, but he acted very discreetly, so Wang Linchi hadn’t paid him much mind initially.
As for how Big Shark had found him, it was simple: Wang Linchi wasn’t a standard player. Fallen Players could easily identify him, much like regular players could spot undisguised Fallen Players at a glance.
Wang Linchi’s disguise wasn’t particularly sophisticated, so it was natural that Big Shark had seen through it.
"How is Ye Tian?" Wang Linchi asked.
The successful formation of The Mistaken Doctor wasn’t solely due to the Fallen Players’ efforts. Wang Linchi had also provided some discreet assistance, along with handling the subsequent cleanup and final touches. Otherwise, Big Shark couldn’t have completed it so smoothly.
"I’m unclear about the leader’s situation. I was lurking within the Game System’s data streams before," Big Shark stated.
"Alright. What are your plans next?" Wang Linchi inquired.
"The hospital is teeming with Erroneous Sins. I think, in addition to the Director and the main hospital entity, another powerful one should be born. That way, we can more effectively tie down the Game System." Big Shark didn’t conceal his plan.
Hearing this, Wang Linchi hadn’t expected such a development. "And then use that to draw out the Director, letting him and the Game System wear each other out?"
"Wear each other out? The Director... he’s unharmed?" Big Shark instantly grasped Wang Linchi’s implication.
"According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, that’s correct. The Director hasn’t lost any of his strength; in fact, he’s lying low. When the time is right, he can backstab either Ye Tian or the Game System." Wang Linchi now understood that this group of Fallen Players was oblivious to the Director’s true condition.
"No wonder things progressed so smoothly. So that was the reason. It seems I miscalculated," Big Shark sighed.
"I didn’t expect your ambitions to be so grand." Wang Linchi naturally understood what Big Shark meant by "miscalculated."
In their original plan, the Hospital Director was considered insignificant. So, Big Shark had planned to proceed slowly, first dealing with the mid-to-high-level threats and then leveraging that momentum to handle the lower-level ones.
Initially, Big Shark had only factored in the Game System. However, the Game System operates rigidly and cannot interfere directly. Evading it is difficult, but not impossible.
"You want to create a massive entanglement involving all the Erroneous Sins in the hospital at once? Even I don’t have the confidence for that. Relying on that handful of unreliable players makes it utterly impossible."
Wang Linchi acknowledged the players’ capabilities, but their inherent Chaos was the greatest underlying risk. Furthermore, with so many conflicting personalities and motives, it was impossible to ensure everyone would stick to a plan; deviations were inevitable.
"That’s why I’m seeking an ally. As long as our leader successfully emerges from his seclusion, you’ll hold a position second only to him. Helping me is helping yourself," Big Shark stated with conviction.
And indeed, his reasoning was sound.
His purpose in coming here was likely to create a diversion for Ye Tian. The best way to do that was to attract attention and animosity.
After the birth of The Mistaken Doctor, the Game System’s attention had indeed been drawn. As for animosity, there wasn’t any yet because Big Shark hadn’t revealed himself, so there was no target for it.
If he had been exposed, he wouldn’t have survived this long; he’d have been eliminated ages ago.
Fallen Players could resurrect after death, but Big Shark was within the Game System’s sphere of direct interference. If he died there, the Game System had numerous ways to prevent his resurrection.
Therefore, not revealing himself was crucial.
"A very convenient justification. So, you’re implying that when the Desert Trio approached me, your people had a hand in it?" Wang Linchi queried.
"As allies, it’s only natural to share some intelligence to prevent you from walking into a trap." Wang Linchi couldn’t tell if Big Shark was being entirely truthful, but it was certain a hint had been provided. The rest he would have to discern for himself, as it wouldn’t be spelled out.
"Your ’hint’ was certainly subtle enough," Wang Linchi retorted sarcastically. He had been lucky; otherwise, he might never have figured it out. He had been completely in the dark, with no information about their underlying schemes.
"Helping you isn’t a major issue. It just requires a little assistance in an area that happens to be your specialty."
Wang Linchi was, in fact, quite tempted by Big Shark’s proposal. If the goal was to fish in troubled waters, then making the situation even more chaotic seemed like a good idea.
"So, you want us to sow more Chaos?" Big Shark easily guessed Wang Linchi’s intention; scheming was, after all, his forte.
"Precisely. Spread Chaos, create dissension among the players, and then..." Wang Linchi outlined his ideas.
Big Shark mentally ran through the scenario. While Wang Linchi’s plan was somewhat crude, with insider cooperation, the probability of success was quite high.
Consequently, Big Shark also interjected with suggestions and refinements to the plan. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"There’s one critical issue: we lack the power to completely suppress our target." Big Shark quickly identified this fatal flaw—the problem of insufficient strength.
Their entire plan hinged on possessing overwhelming force; otherwise, it was merely a pipe dream.
"Regarding the necessary force, leave that to me." Behind Wang Linchi, the figure of the Saint Master gradually materialized.
This force was intended to subdue The Mistaken Doctor, who was, naturally, a key figure in their scheme.
Without sufficient power, how could they possibly succeed? They’d likely be killed by The Mistaken Doctor before achieving anything.
Seeing this, Big Shark was somewhat skeptical but ultimately nodded. "We can try it. But we’ll each have to bear our own risks."
"Of course, that’s fine," Wang Linchi readily agreed. "Provided no one drops the ball. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite." After all, his own risk was comparatively lower. He was well-concealed and didn’t fear betrayal from Big Shark.
Conversely, Big Shark’s group, by spreading Chaos, would present a much larger target and would inevitably leave traces for Green Plum Brews Wine to find.
"On behalf of my leader, thank you for your assistance." With those words, Big Shark’s figure completely dissolved into the shadows.
He had already departed to set their joint plan in motion. If all went smoothly, it could be accomplished by that afternoon.
In the current situation, no one had the luxury of spending ten days or more meticulously laying out a grand strategy before acting; speed was paramount.
