CH 14

"Hiss..."

Gu Yi took a sharp breath and stared at the ceiling.

The monster's speed was too fast. Gu Yi couldn't even end the simulation early.

On the third floor, there was a humanoid monster with a black body and heart-shaped eyes.

There must be some important secret hidden there. The monster was probably there to guard the door, and he would not hesitate to strangle anyone who illegally trespassed.

"Is there still a hidden clue on the third floor that I haven't found?"

Gu Yi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, deciding to try exploring the third floor again.

(Deduction Begins!)

(You sit on the bed and think carefully.)

(You think that you were probably strangled by the monster because you violated the rules.)

(You return to the entrance of the third floor.)

(You search the hallway, but find no notes or any traces of people or monsters.)

(You speculate that the monster will suddenly appear when you open any door.)

(You have five more deduction attempts left, and you decide to use trial and error to summarize the monster's weaknesses and behavior patterns.)

(You open the door to the specimen room.)

(You walk into the specimen room.)

(You lean against the wall and look towards the entrance.)

(The monster appears.)

(His way of moving is like a penguin, swaying from side to side, but he is extremely fast.)

(You find that it is difficult to see the monster's movements when you open your eyes, and you have to blink rapidly to catch glimpses of his figure.)

(The monster walks into the specimen room and deliberately avoids the specimen cabinets.)

(You use the specimen cabinets to maneuver around the monster.)

(The heart-shaped eyes of the monster turn into two black crosses, and he disappears into the darkness.)

(You can no longer observe the monster.)

(You feel a tightness in your throat.)

(You have been strangled by the monster.)

(Your vision turns black.)

(You are dead.)

(Deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes and touched his neck.

It was another instant kill.

His physical strength in this dungeon was really weak. If it were an adventurer with stamina or strength talent, they could probably go head-to-head with the monster.

"At least I can last for a minute this time. Let's try again."

(Deduction begins!)

(You take out a piece of paper and write down all the information about the monster.)

(1. The monster has the ability to turn invisible. You have to blink quickly to see its silhouette. If the monster's eyes turn into black crosses, it will become completely invisible.)

(2. The monster's movement speed is slightly faster than yours, and its strength far surpasses yours. It's not realistic to escape or confront it head-on.)

(3. The monster doesn't want to damage anything in the specimen room, so you can use this to your advantage.)

(4. The monster has a physical body and can only harm others through physical contact.)

(5. It has been confirmed that it only appears when you enter the specimen room and won't appear otherwise.)

(After thinking for a moment...)

(You use the previous method to escape the ward, and you arrive at the laundry room on the corner of the first floor. You find some bed sheets and tear them into long strips.)

(You go to the cleaning room and steal the floor wax.)

(You go to the third floor.)

(You spread the floor wax all over the ground and make tripwires out of the long cloth strips in the hallway.)

(You open the specimen room.)

(The monster quickly appears in front of you.)

(You quickly run away.)

(The monster chases after you and gets tripped by the ropes.)

(You continue running downstairs.)

(The monster is tripped by the slippery floor, and you continue to run frantically.)

(You arrive at the first floor.)

(You take out your access card and swipe it for the elevator to the basement.)

(Guards from the security department immediately appear in front of you.)

(Security: Why do you have Dr. Gui's access card?)

(You don't say anything, blinking constantly. You notice that the monster has already arrived behind the two of you.)

(The security guard turns his head and meets the monster's gaze.)

(Security: Why are you here? Go back to your specimen room!)

(The monster and the security guard start to fight.)

(You turn around and walk into the basement.)

(You feel a chill all over your body as if there are countless eyes staring at you in the darkness.)

(You hear the low growl of an animal.)

(A monster covered in black hair rushes out from the shadows, barking like a dog.)

(You dodge out of the way.)

(The door is blocked by the security and the monster, and you can't retreat.)

(You can only continue to move forward.)

(The number of black hairy monsters around you was increasing.)

(You feel that these monsters are all patients who have transformed. Their physical qualities are similar to yours, but their numbers are too many.)

(Soon, you are caught by a group of black hairy monsters.)

(Your body is covered with black hair.)

(You feel your consciousness gradually drifting away.)

(You stop deducing.)

"Phew..."

Gu Yi leaned back on his pillow and let out a long sigh.

The stronger the defense system of the specimen room, the more curious Gu Yi became.

The first time he entered the basement, he didn't have time to explore before being surrounded and assimilated by the monsters.

In that kind of environment, he would definitely turn into a monster and die.

"Are the barking sounds during the day also coming from the basement?"

"Probably not, it's clearly coming from a closer location."

"Last time I deduced, I went to the crematorium area, and it seems that there are no monsters in the basement during the day, only at night."

"The exploration of the basement should be done during the day."

Gu Yi rubbed his temples, wrote down his speculation and the known information about the monster on a piece of paper, and read it over twice before starting to deduce again.

(Deduction begins!)

(You are certain that there must be important clues in the specimen room.)

(The hospital's defense at night is so weak that you can wander around wearing a bird mask without anyone questioning you. There is no one on duty in the security office, but there is a monster guarding the specimen room.)

(You think it's not a good idea to use the security department to drive away the monster.)

(Whichever side survives in this confrontation will eventually turn around and come after you.)

(You feel like you're backed into a corner.)

(You realize that you have no way to bypass the monster in the specimen room.)

(Maybe you should give up investigating the specimen room?)

(You feel very unwilling.)

(You have found a breakthrough, but you can't find a way to break through.)

(You hold the piece of paper in your hand and think carefully.)

(You are sure there is no more information to be gleaned about the monster.)

(You silently recall the last deduction.)

(You feel like you've caught onto something crucial.)

(The person from the security department expressed surprise and astonishment when he saw the monster for the first time.)

(And he also said, "Go back to your specimen room.")

(This sentence reminded you.)

(You think you overlooked something - where did the monster come from?)
