CH 5

Gu Yi took a deep breath and started the deduction again.

This was his last chance to simulate the scenario.

(Deduction starts.)

(You didn't act rashly.)

(You calmed yourself down and believed that even though the situation was complicated, you could still find a way to clear the game.)

(You quickly stuffed food in your mouth while thinking about the clues you got from the previous simulation.)

(1. "Loud noise" refers not only to speaking loudly. Any noise not related to eating is considered a violation. After two violations, they will put you in solitary confinement, but you can escape through the ventilation duct. Currently, it is unknown what consequences getting caught while escaping will bring.)

(2. This hospital is ruthless and treats patients as prisoners or expendables. As long as they cannot be cured, they are thrown into the crematorium and burned alive.)

(However, it is also possible that the diseases on the patients are very terrible, and not burning them may cause even worse consequences. The information is too limited to make a judgment.)

(3. Not only in the ward but also all the windows outside the hospital have fences. Without better tools, it is impossible to pry open the fence. Even if you escape from the window, the outside of the hospital is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, which is almost impossible to climb over.)

(4. You noticed a detail that no one in the hospital uses a mobile phone, and the landline at the reception can only communicate internally. Therefore, you cannot call for help from the outside world.)

(You glanced at the wristband of the patient beside you and silently memorized his patient number.)

(You finished your food and can now move freely.)

(You walked up to the doctor and gently patted his shoulder.)

(The doctor looked up and glanced at you.)

(You didn't say anything and gave up your position so the doctor could see the comatose patient.)

(The doctor quickly lifted the patient and took him to the emergency room.)

(You followed behind.)

(You continue to explore the hospital and come across a schedule of the patients' daily routine at the nurse's desk.)

( [Patients Daily Schedule] )

(1. Morning rounds from 6:30-7:00 am

2. Breakfast from 7:00-8:00 am

3. Free time from 8:00 am-12:00 pm

4. Lunch from 12:00-1:00 pm

5. Nap time from 1:00-2:00 pm

6. Treatment time from 2:00-6:00 pm

7. Dinner from 6:00-7:00 pm

8. Treatment time from 7:00-9:00 pm

9. Lights out at 9:00 pm)

(Patients are advised to strictly adhere to the schedule for their own speedy recovery.)

(You check the back of the schedule but there are no hidden messages.)

(You believe that the messages written in blood are on your side. Since it doesn't object to the schedule, you decide to follow it.)

(You didn't miss any opportunity to find any useful information, but you don't find any valuable clues.)

(While the nurse is not paying attention, you find a computer and enter the patient's ID number to access their medical record.)

( [Patient] Xu Nian)

( [ID] *******)

( [Medical Record] Severe cognitive impairment and mania.)

(The medical record clearly states that it is a mental illness, but the doctor's treatment method involves surgical procedures, even to the point of amputation.)

(You enter your own ID number.)

(The computer prompts that you do not have the authorization to access this patient's medical record.)

(A barking sound startles you.)

(You put down the mouse and look around for the source of the barking, but find nothing.)

(You ponder for a moment.)

(Most of the staff here wear different masks.)

(The doctors and nurses wear beak masks, and the chefs wear pig head masks. Perhaps by wearing different masks, one can perform different roles?)

(You feel excited about your bold guess.)

(You decide to steal a mask from the doctor's changing room.)

(You observe the surveillance camera on the ceiling.)

(For privacy reasons, the camera is not aimed at the changing room.)

(You walk into the changing room, luckily no one notices you.)

(You hide behind the locker, waiting for the opportunity.)

(Everyone is taking a shower, you run out and steal a mask and clothes.)

(You are confident that no one except the owner will know about your theft.)

(You rush into the emergency room.)

(At this time, the doctor is performing surgery on a patient named Xu Nian.)

(Once you put on the beak mask, everything in your vision changes.)

(Xu Nian's body is covered with various labels, with a bunch of meaningless codes written on them.)

(Doctor: What are you doing? Hand me the hemostatic forceps.)

(You walk to the operating table.)

(You: What are you doing?)

(Doctor: The patient is already critically ill and needs an amputation. If we cannot stop the virus from spreading, we will have to cremate him.)

(You: Can I try?)

(You tear off the labels on Xu Nian's body.)

(Xu Nian indeed recovers.)

(The doctor praises your medical skills in various ways.)

(You were worried about being caught stealing, so you made an excuse and left.)

(Outside the emergency room, you ran into the owner of the mask.)

(The owner cursed at you and accused you of stealing.)

(You remembered rule 2 in the First Aid Manual: "If someone enters the ward during emergency treatment, call security to take the intruder to Room 0.")

(You immediately picked up the phone next to the door and called security.)

(The owner looked frightened and he hurries to turn around and leave.)

(Security personnel appeared at the entrance of the emergency room, wearing dog masks.)

(They caught the owner and took him to Room 0.)

(You pretended to be calm and walked out of the emergency room.)

(You were afraid of being caught for stealing, so you quickly went to the garbage room on the first floor and threw the mask and clothes into the garbage pipe.)

(You turned around and saw security personnel standing behind you.)

(Security: Someone reported you for stealing, and we have investigated the surveillance footage. The evidence is conclusive.)

(You: I didn't...)

(Security: Come with us.)

(Security grabbed your collar and limbs and brought you to Room 0.)

(Room 0 was empty with only four white walls.)

(You looked up and saw a giant spider descending from above.)

(You try to evade.)

(The spider moves very quickly and successfully grabs you.)

(You are torn into pieces by the giant spider.)

(You are dead.)

(The deduction ends.)

Gu Yi opened his eyes again, with a cold sweat on his forehead. His mental strength was exhausted, and he still hadn't found a way to successfully save that patient.

He noticed a small tuft of black hair growing on the back of his hand.

If he didn't take action to help this patient who was having a seizure, he would soon become a monster due to the guilt in his heart, triggering an instant-death flag.

He had no choice but to take a risk!
