Chapter 002: Contradictory Rules

In order to validate his thoughts, Gu Yi once again utilized his innate abilities

The doctor opened the first drawer of the bedside cabinet, nodded slightly, and then began to examine your physical condition

You sat on the bed anxiously for a while

You feel a chill behind you, perhaps the "unspeakable" in the copy is standing right behind you

You picked up the sputum cup, cleared your throat, and spat the pill into it

Knock knock knock

Doctor: "There are no dogs in the hospital, it seems your condition has worsened, we need to increase your dosage."

You respond

It can be seen that the content on the first page of the note is authentic, while the blood writing on the back is not trustworthy

( But you soon realize that this is your own illusion, and the blood drops quickly disappear )

The deduction has concluded

The deduction has concluded

If you see blood dripping from the ceiling of the corridor, please do not panic, this is a normal situation

The nurse glanced at the clean floor and said nothing

Perhaps you do not have a mental illness; it is those pills that are causing you to hallucinate. As long as you stop taking the medication, the hallucinations will disappear

If that is the case, then what about the hint on that note

The sound of a doctor knocking on the door came from next door, and the rounds began

The doctor said: "If you don't take the medicine, the illness will not get better"

You return to the bedside, reflecting on the encounter you just experienced

The ceiling of the ward began to drip blood

You ordered a portion of pickled vegetables, a bowl of plain congee, and two meat buns

However, this is merely a conjecture, as the available clues are indeed too few

The only violation is the blood-written words on the back of the note

You begin to feel a splitting headache

He picked up the kitchen knife and split open your head

You finished tidying up the room and took your medicine at the fastest speed, just as the doctor and nurse entered the room

Could it be the "missing patient" mentioned in the background introduction?

A sea of blood red lies before you

You: "No."

After a series of four attempts, only the fourth one succeeded in leaving the hospital room, but ultimately, he collapsed and died in the cafeteria

( Knock knock knock )

A sea of blood red lies before you

Gu Yi touched his head, drenched in sweat

The ceiling of the ward began to drip blood

You leaned against the door, pleading with the doctor and nurse to let you out, but they did not pay any attention.

There must still be some oversights

Doctor: It seems that you are in good condition today. We will arrange a new ward for you this evening. Once the rounds are finished, you will be able to go to the cafeteria for breakfast

Conflicting rules appeared on the note, leaving you uncertain about which one to believe

Is there a problem with this prompt as well

You casually threw some trash to cover the pills

After leaving the ward and arriving at the cafeteria, it is still possible to personally search for the hint notes and then proceed with the deduction.

This time, Gu Yi has made a significant breakthrough; he now knows the reason for his first sudden death

You promptly tidied up the bed, then turned around to pick up the clothes on the floor, folding them neatly and placing them in the second drawer of the bedside table. You folded the cardboard box and hid it under the mattress.

At this moment, Gu Yi had only 10 points of mental strength left, and he had only one last opportunity for deduction, making it unnecessary to waste it at this time

A series of barks came from outside the door

The doctor and nurse left, not forgetting to lock the door on their way out

You have gotten up

You feel confused

Doctor: "You have delusional disorder; you believe that your body does not belong to you. Recently, you mentioned seeing monsters. Have you experienced similar hallucinations lately?"

The blood characters behind you, however, advise you not to take medicine

You are certain that you have not violated any prompts

You arrived in the corridor, where all the patients looked unwell, and once again you heard the barking of a dog

You are dead

You hide the fruit knife from the third floor on your person and turn to look at the door

The doctor and nurse enter the ward

Thank you

Can I know what illness I have

After a short while, the door to the hospital room opened

The patients did not speak, merely displaying expressions of confusion, as if they were looking at a fool

( The deduction begins! )

Gu Yi withdrew from the simulation, covering his eyes, haunted by the horrific images of the recent deaths.

The nurse glanced at the clothes scattered all over the floor and erupted in a tirade

You are dead

The doctors and nurses did not express any confusion; they seemed to have become accustomed to hearing dogs barking in the hospital

You understand to come over. The hint is meant to tell you to pretend to take the medicine in front of the medical staff, but afterwards, you must find an opportunity to spit it out.

You ask other patients why there are dogs in the hospital

Doctor: "Have you been taking your medication on time?"

Yes

The pig-headed chef glanced at you

The deduction has concluded

The first positive aspect is that it encourages you to take your medication on time

Why has it died again, when I clearly completed everything according to the instructions

The bloodstains on the back of the note are not entirely untrustworthy

She took out a ballpoint pen from the pocket of her chest and pierced your eyeball

You are dead

You had a brief conversation with the doctor and nurse, and the doctor left after saying a few words

Is the fundamental reason for the previous two simulations ending in failure due to your own mental breakdown, mistaking the doctor for a monster

Once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening

You can hear the footsteps of the doctor and nurse; they are currently making rounds in the next room and will arrive in your room shortly

Why are there dogs in the hospital

( Ten minutes later )

In just the first ten minutes of progress, there were so many instant-death flags; if it weren't for my SSS-level talent, I might not even know how I died

You take out a note from under the bed and carefully read the contents on it

The first time I triggered a fatal incident myself was due to not taking my medication on time, which led the doctor to directly end my life upon discovery

Gu Yiping held his breath and focused, once again using his innate skill

The second time she killed herself was as a nurse, and before stabbing herself, she cast a glance at the pile of clothes on the floor, clearly a result of her failure to maintain the cleanliness of the ward

When the doctor and nurse saw that you did not respond, they entered the ward

It is evident that this describes the hallucinations experienced during a mental breakdown; why then does the prompt state that this is a normal phenomenon

What is even more terrifying is that the fifth item on the note states, "There are always two patients in the intensive care unit," yet you have not seen your fellow patient from beginning to end

A sea of blood red lies before you

The nurse informs you that you can now go to the cafeteria for breakfast

At this time, he had conducted three simulations, but none lasted more than ten minutes

Ten minutes later, you are suffering from a severe headache

Call

There must be certain rules in that cafeteria that cannot be violated, yet I have overlooked them myself

( Knock knock knock )

( The deduction begins! )

The doorbell rang, and the doctor and nurse greeted from outside the door

You feel confused, and you believe that the rules on the note cannot be fully trusted

You hurriedly tucked away the note and took out a pill from the drawer, swallowing it down

Gu Yi quickly jumped out of bed; he had no time to waste

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, you discover that the chef in charge of serving the dishes is a strange person wearing a pig head mask

( A knocking sound is heard at the door )

You decide to vomit out the medicine you have taken

Gu Yi's face was pale
