End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Just as Jeremy's emotions were running high.

There were suddenly a lot of urgent footsteps outside the ward.

Immediately, the door of the ward was pushed open by someone.

Claire, Benjamin, Bonnie, and others appeared outside the door with a group of doctors.

Some of them were in disarray, obviously rushing over after receiving the news.

"I knew you wouldn't be okay, you really..." Benjamin's excited voice came in before he even entered the room.

But halfway through his sentence, he saw the two people embracing in the room, and his words suddenly stopped.

Jeremy looked at everyone with surprise.

He had guessed that someone would come, but he didn't expect so many people.

Benjamin cleared his throat awkwardly, "It looks like we came at the wrong time. Why don't you guys continue, and we'll come back later?"

Wain and the other doctors looked at each other, all feeling a bit embarrassed, clearly overthinking things.

Emma blushed and hurriedly broke free from Jeremy's embrace, stuttering, "You... you guys talk, I'll go get some water."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Emma hurriedly lowered her head and left the ward.

"Asshole!" Bonnie muttered with a red face, looking at Jeremy as if he were a beast.

"Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine now." Jeremy remained calm as if he hadn't heard anything.

After all, it was these guys who had overreacted, he hadn't done anything.

Claire glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The group tacitly moved on from the situation.

After that, Wain and a group of doctors examined Jeremy.

They found that Jeremy's body was very healthy.

The doctors couldn't help but marvel at it.

Wain shook his head and sighed, "Even though there were no brainwaves, he managed to wake up. This is truly... a medical miracle!"

The other doctors agreed.

After the heart stops beating, brainwaves can continue for several hours, and there are medical cases of people coming back to life.

But they had never heard of anyone coming back to life after brain death.

If this case had happened in peacetime, it would have caused a sensation in the medical community.

Jeremy looked strangely at them.

So, when he entered the spirit world, he didn't even have brainwaves?

This spirit world... truly is a mysterious place.

After the examination, Wain and the doctors left.

In the room, only Benjamin, Bonnie, Claire, and Jeremy were left.

Claire noticed that Benjamin seemed to have something to say, so she said, "I'll go out for a while, you guys talk."

With that, she left the ward.

"You should go too." Benjamin gestured to Bonnie.

Bonnie pursed her lips but obediently walked out.

It wasn't a secret that Bonnie was the mayor's daughter, many people in the school knew.

In the same class, Jeremy naturally heard about it, but he didn't pay much attention.

After all, to him, Bonnie, even if she was the daughter of the federal leader, had nothing to do with him.

Jeremy looked at Benjamin and said bluntly, "Mr. Mayor, I cannot repay the life-saving favor this time. If you have anything to say, just speak up. I will not refuse if it's within my power."

Although Jeremy wasn't exactly a good person, he always believed in repaying kindness as well as avenging wrongs.

Regardless of Benjamin and Howard's motives, the fact that they saved him remained.

Therefore, as long as the request wasn't too outrageous, Jeremy wouldn't refuse it.

A smile appeared on Benjamin's face, knowing he hadn't misjudged Jeremy just from that response.

Benjamin smiled and said, "I saved you because it was an order from above. You don't need to thank me. Moreover, my main reason for coming here is to tell you that the federal leader values you highly and has sent the strongest special forces team from the capital, the 'Black Dragon Squad,' wanting to take you to the capital."

Jeremy was somewhat surprised but not overly so.

With the potential he had shown, it was normal to be noticed. He just hadn't expected the federal leader to send someone specifically.

It seemed Benjamin had more to say, Jeremy didn't speak.

Sure enough, after a pause, Benjamin sighed and said, "Due to some reasons, there are individuals within the 'Black Dragon Squad' arriving who hold significant grievances against you. If they act disrespectfully, I hope you won't take it to heart."

The "Black Dragon Squad" represented the pinnacle of the federation's special forces, with each member being an elite picked from tens of thousands of soldiers.

In times of peace, they embodied the strongest individual combat capabilities of the federation!

Even though it's now the apocalypse and many people possessed supernatural abilities, this does not mean the "Black Dragon Squad" could be provoked.

On the contrary, they were even more formidable!

After all, they too were players who could level up, awakened new abilities, and changed their class.

While Benjamin had confidence in Jeremy's strength and talent, believing it won't take long for him to surpass these individuals.

Jeremy was still too young. Benjamin doesn't want Jeremy to offend these formidable figures.

Jeremy smiled and said, "As long as they don't go too far, I won't mind."

Jeremy had never heard of the "Black Dragon Squad" before, but from Benjamin's words, he guessed these were specially trained super soldiers for executing special missions.

In his past life, Jeremy had encountered such individuals, each was extremely difficult to deal with but posed no threat to him.

As long as they didn't provoke him, Jeremy wouldn't bother with them either.

"That's good to hear." Benjamin said, relieved, thinking Jeremy understood his point.

After chatting for a while longer, Emma returned with a kettle.

Not wanting to impose any further on the young couple, Benjamin stood up and advised, "Although the doctor said you're alright, you should still rest well. If you're interested tomorrow, you could join us in exploring a newly discovered low-level dungeon. The Black Dragon Squad is preparing to enter, and Howard is currently guarding it. He also wants to have a chat with you."

"Thank you, Sir." Jeremy nodded, watching Benjamin leave.

He had never seen a dungeon before. Now with the opportunity, he naturally wanted to check it out.

However, Jeremy's idea of "checking it out" differed from Benjamin's, he planned to actually enter the dungeon.

Jeremy was well aware of his physical condition and knew he was fine, especially after absorbing a significant amount of spirit bodies in the spirit realm, which seemed to have cured his post-combat syndrome.

With two days left in the daily activity, he couldn't afford to waste time in the hospital.

Although the dungeon was fraught with danger, clearing it would yield a bounty of experience points. With the double experience event ongoing daily, Jeremy stood a real chance of overtaking the competition to claim the top spot.

He had been coveting the artifact awarded for the first-place prize for some time. Given the opportunity to obtain it, he wasn't about to let it slip through his fingers.

"Have some water." Emma poured Jeremy a cup of hot water, carefully blew on it to cool it down, and then handed it to him.

Her eyes were as tender as water, reflecting the emotional rollercoaster this ordeal had put her through. It also made her cherish their relationship even more.

The tender moment between the two didn't last long before Claire walked in.

Seeing this scene, her expression didn't change. She simply asked Jeremy, "Are you planning to enter the dungeon?"

With Claire's mental strength, overhearing conversations in the room was effortless.

Given her understanding of Jeremy, she could easily guess what he was planning to do.

Upon seeing Claire, Emma's demeanor also remained unchanged. She even smiled at Claire.

The two seemed to share a very delicate relationship, and Jeremy, caught in the middle, was naturally pleased with this but didn't point it out.

He nodded and said, "Yes, and you both will be joining me."

While Jeremy was eager to level up, elevating Emma and Claire's levels to ensure they could protect themselves was more important to him.

Moreover, once their levels increased, the speed at which they could clear dungeons might also improve.

After all, both Emma and Claire had exceptional talents.

"We're going too?" Emma and Claire were somewhat surprised.

The monsters in the low-level dungeon were at least level 20. Even though both had gained some experience previously at the commercial plaza, Claire was only at level 14, and Emma was at level 11.

And although both had already changed classes, their current levels wouldn't be of any help to Jeremy. They would only hold him back.

Jeremy reassured them with a smile, "Don't worry, I wouldn't take you on an adventure if I wasn't confident."

If it were a mid-level dungeon, Jeremy might feel some pressure, but he didn't take a low-level dungeon seriously.

His attributes were already more than five times that of a regular player. With his rich combat experience, a low-level dungeon wouldn't pose much of a challenge, even if he brought a few people along.

Thinking this, Jeremy suddenly remembered Ritchie.

Where was that guy?

After asking Claire, Jeremy found out.

She had already notified Ritchie, but there was no answer on his phone.

"Where did that damn guy run off to?" Jeremy wondered.

...

Meanwhile, at the Moonlight City Funeral Home.

"Oh..Jeremy..." Suddenly, mournful howls erupted in the eerily dark funeral home, carrying far into the night.

In the spacious and bright memorial hall, several large wreaths and a coffin were placed, with solemn requiems playing through the speakers.

On the long table in front of the coffin was a... portrait with the name "Jeremy" on it?

"Jeremy...my best friend...how could you just leave us...you hadn't even introduced me to a girlfriend yet..." Ritchie wailed heartbreakingly on top of the coffin, tears streaming down his face.

The thought that he had lost not only his best friend but also his girlfriend...

This made him cry even harder and louder.
