(You frowned.)

(The thread goes to a dead end.)

(Getting a bus ticket is the easiest step compared to getting a pass. You think there must be other clues in the basement of the hospital, and you need to know a safer way to enter the basement.)

(You: Is there a way I can get into the basement of the hospital?)

(Store manager: I don't know, I don't have permission to enter there.)

(It's hard to get more information from the store manager, but you still have a lot to gain.)

(1. You know that there are many people in the hospital who are as afraid of "unspeakable" as you are, disgusted and afraid of "rules".)

(2. The store manager is a member who can help you. He may play a more important role in your customs clearance process.)

(Maybe, gaining the friendship of other people can get more customs clearance convenience and important information.)

(This is something I hadn't noticed before.)

(You suddenly remember the rules of use on the 3D glasses.)

(The front side of the rule is to help adventurers, while the reverse side is to prevent adventurers.)

(At the time, you thought this was a very contradictory place, but now you think it's actually quite reasonable.)

(Everyone in the hospital does not want to be born under the shadow of "unspeakable", and they also hope that there is an adventurer who can change the world.)

(The bloody hint of "I" is sometimes good and sometimes bad, which means that "I" may have been polluted by "unspeakable", or "I" is likely to be "unspeakable".)

(A series of footsteps are heard outside the store.)

(The store manager shakes his head and points outside the house.)

(Store manager: People from the security department are here, you should quickly find a way to escape.)

(You: Thank you for the information.)

(You leave the shop quickly.)

(You meet the security department's eyes.)

(You terminate the game.)

"call--"

Gu Yi lay on the bed, lost in thought.

After a brief exchange with the store manager, he found that his previous thinking needed to be adjusted.

Before, he had always regarded the doctors, nurses and all the staff in the hospital as his opposite, but in fact they could help him under certain circumstances.

When he committed suicide, if it wasn't for the doctor's treatment, he would have died long ago.

In order to prevent themselves from committing suicide, they even made a daily inspection of contraband.

Under the control of the rules, they have to imprison and control patients, but they may still have a conscience of "saving the dying and healing the wounded" in their hearts.

Gu Yi lay in a daze on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Xu Nian tapped lightly on the hospital bed.

Gu Yi woke up and turned his head to look over. Xu Nian opened and closed his mouth, as if he was concerned about himself.

"It's okay, I have nothing to do."

"Uh……"

Xu Nian frowned, and finally made a thank you gesture in dumb words.

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that not only could he not hear Xu Nian, Xu Nian could not hear himself either.

—He thought of himself as a deaf-mute.

Gu Yi raised his finger, imitating Xu Nian and making a thank you gesture.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Nian closed his mouth.

Gu Yi frowned slightly, this detail made him feel very puzzled.

Chapter 24 Toilet Chat

In fact, Gu Yi discovered this doubt very early on.

Patients seldom talk to each other, or they have talked, but they never hear them.

Only when you communicate with medical staff and staff can you communicate unimpeded.

Is this just because he is just a "special test subject"?

Or in other words, the role I play is not actually a human being, but a local aborigine like the staff?

The door opened, and the nurse glanced at the two people in the ward.

"It's almost time for dinner. Xu Nian, can you go by yourself?"

Xu Nian tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded.

Xu Nian could understand what the doctor said, but he couldn't speak in front of the nurse.

"Then Gu Yi, come and send him to the cafeteria."

"Ok."

Gu Yi borrowed a wheelchair from the nurse's station and pushed Xu Nian to the cafeteria.

Xu Nian was very grateful and kept nodding to Gu Yi excitedly.

Gu Yi patted Xu Nian on the shoulder to comfort him.

After dinner, Gu Yi ran to the toilet.

Just as he was preparing for another deduction and exploration, a voice suddenly came from the compartment on the left.

"Dude, do you have any paper there? Give me one."

"wait a moment."

Gu Yi's heart was pounding, he turned around and tore a piece of toilet paper, and passed it from under the partition.

"Thank you."

Gu Yi heard the sound of the man fastening the belt, and then heard the sound of untying the belt—he sat back on the toilet again.

puff!

Gu Yi frowned and covered his nose.

"You have diarrhea?"

"Oh, I can't help it." The man said, "I have diarrhea almost every day. I am a person who can't eat meat, and I will have diarrhea when I eat it. But the hospital's rules require that I must order one meat and one vegetable, which is simply frustrating. Every day of my life is suffering."

"Why did the cafeteria add such a strange rule?"

"Who knows? Dean Shabi is still obsessive-compulsive. Every time I buy food, it's like doing a math problem. It's really troublesome. Brother, can you give me another piece of paper?"

"Well, here it is."

Gu Yi handed over the paper.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, and decided to chat with the person next door for a while, but he was worried that he would accidentally violate some rules, so he used his natural ability.

(Deduction begins!)

(You: You are Dr. Li, right?)

(Dr. Li: How do you know?)

(You: You round my wards every day, I remember your voice.)

(Dr. Li: That's right, I just said why your voice is so familiar.)

(You: Doctor Li, do you know "Monster Siege"?)

(Dr. Li: Where did you hear this term?)

(You: Listen to what the shop owner said.)

(Dr. Li: Let’s talk about something else.)

(You nod silently. Apparently, the staff in the hospital are also bound by corresponding rules, and they cannot discuss too much about "Monster Siege".)

(You: Why can't I understand other patients?)

(Dr. Li: That’s because they are sick, but yours is milder.)

(You: Actually, I want to know, what kind of disease do we have?)

(Dr. Li: Didn’t I tell you? It’s a mental illness.)

(You: If it is a mental illness, then why are there so many surgical marks on Xu Nian? You are a mental hospital, why are you qualified to perform surgery?)

(Dr. Li's tone became visibly colder.)

(Dr. Li: Gu Yi, it seems that your condition has become more serious, and you need to increase the dose.)

(You: Dr. Li, I know your difficulties, you just need to tell yes or no. If you can’t even speak, then you can knock on the partition, one time for yes, two times for no.)

(Dr. Li: What do you mean?)

(You: You use unconventional treatment methods for patients, obviously mental illnesses, but surgical operations, such as amputation, are they affected by the rules?)

(Dr. Li did not speak for a long time and knocked on the partition.)

(Sure enough, as you expected, doctors, like store managers, are controlled by rules. They are not unavailable or unusable.)

(However, the rules only limit them from "talking", not from "communicating".)

(You: You can't just say these things, or you'll die too?)

(Dr. Li tapped once.)

(You: You don't want to be trapped in the hospital either, do you?)

(Dr. Li tapped once.)

(You: Do you know how to leave the hospital?)

(Dr. Li knocked twice.)

(You think for a while and ask a very bold question.)

(You: In your eyes, am I the same as other patients?)

(Dr. Li knocked twice.)

(You: In your eyes, am I your kind?)

(Doctor Li knocks once, then twice.)

(Yes and no.)

(You clenched your fist and got an answer to something that didn't make sense.)

(Anything the hospital does to you is to turn yourself into a monster, like them.)

(However, in my own eyes, doctors and nurses are just human beings wearing masks.)

(These people don't turn into monsters if you don't break the rules.)

(The words "I am a human" have been repeatedly appearing in the blood prompt of "I".)

(That's an obvious hint.)

(If you want to successfully pass the level, you must maintain your humanity and always tell yourself that you are alone.)

(However, the current situation is not optimistic.)

(In the eyes of doctors, you are already different from other human beings, and you can only communicate with doctors, but not patients.)

(The "unspeakable" force has begun to infect your cognitive system.)
