Hurried footsteps kept ringing in the hallway.

The Mexican guy gasped, he felt chills all over his body, he didn't know what had just happened, why the black guy Tai screamed, Tai must have encountered something terrible, but he didn't dare to go back to Tai, he was scared to death now.

Just as he was desperately running away in the corridor like a headless fly, suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, and the figure blocked his way, and in panic, he quickly raised his flashlight, his heart pounding.

Under the light of the flashlight, he finally saw the figure clearly, it was a police officer!

The Mexican guy suddenly became excited and shouted:

"Officer, there's a body! There are corpses! ”

"What's going on?"

Rorschach walked quickly to the Mexican guy and helped the young man, whose legs were trembling and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

"I don't know, but there are corpses, and there are no eyes on them."

Listening to the words of the Mexican guy, Rorschach frowned and asked:

"What's your name?"

"Ricky! Officer, my name is Ricky. ”

"Okay."

Rorschach nodded, "Ricky, you calm down first, let's get out of here first." ”

"Good, good."

Ricky gasped for breath, holding Rorschach's arm and finally standing firm, thinking of the screams that the black guy Tai had just made, he looked at Rorschach anxiously, "Officer, let's get out of here quickly, I'm afraid of death." ”

Taking the flashlight from Ricky's hand, Rorschach escorted him to the elevator. Walking to the elevator, he looked into the elevator, and the secret door on the side wall had been closed, and at first glance there was no trace of it. Rorschach narrowed his eyes and quietly walked into the elevator, pressing his finger on the button on the first floor.

The elevator slowly descended, and Ricky leaned against the elevator wall, gasping for air, his back already soaked, and his legs still trembling slightly.

Looking at his appearance, Rorschach asked:

"Why are you going to the 8th floor?"

"I ......"

Ricky hesitated, avoided Rorschach's gaze, and swallowed before saying, "I just can't sleep, I want to go around." ”

"Tell the truth!"

Looking at Ricky's thief eyes, Rorschach knew he was lying.

"Officer, what I said is true!"

Ricky licked his lips, glanced at Rorschach, and lowered his head in panic.

"Really?"

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, "Did you go up alone?" Do you have a companion still on it?! Why don't we go up and check it out. ”

"Don't!"

Ricky kept waving his hand in a panic, "No, officer, let's not go up." ”

"Why?"

"Tai has been captured! I saw him caught by a hook! ”

"Who is Thai?"

"The black guy in the team, he's a thief, he can pick locks."

Ricky gasped and said tremblingly, "I heard a long time ago that Blackwell has a safe hidden in this hotel, which contains his secrets, I didn't expect to come here to do community service this time, under the mattress in my bedroom, I accidentally found an architectural drawing, so I called Tai to see if I could find the safe." ”

Rorschach stared at Ricky, judging from his nervous expression, that he was not lying. Rorschach asked:

"Give me the architectural drawings."

"Okay, officer."

Ricky hurriedly took out the architectural plan from his pocket and handed it to Rorschach.

Taking over the architectural drawings, Rorschach glanced at it, and when the elevator reached the first floor, he pushed Ricky out of the elevator.

The policewoman Samantha stood at the entrance of the elevator and saw Rorschach and Ricky walking out, she hurriedly greeted her and asked:

"What happened?"

"This guy and the black guy Ty wanted to find Blackwell's safe, I only found him on the 8th floor, and Ty seems to have been arrested."

"What?!"

Samantha looked surprised, "Ty was captured? What's going on? We hurried to him. ”

"Wait."

Rorschach waved his hand, "Gather everyone on the first floor, this hotel has quirks. ”

"Okay, I'll contact the bus and send the young man away first."

With that, Samantha took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called the bus driver, but no one answered, and she dialed 911, which had the same effect.

"What's going on?"

Samantha said anxiously, "Why didn't anyone answer the phone?" ”

Rorschach took a deep breath and walked down the stairs to the lobby, opening the door to the hotel, where it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and the inky black was even billowing and wriggling.

Samantha walked up to Rorschach, looked at the scene in front of her in horror, and asked at a loss:

"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"We're stuck here."

Rorschach narrowed his eyes and looked around, as if this was a protective mechanism for Jacob's remnant consciousness. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that Jacob is dead, and this is his remaining world of consciousness, and this world should operate according to the memories of Jacob who was originally alive, and the remaining consciousness does not have the ability to change the memory, so they are trapped here in this simple and crude way.

So how did the illusion in the morgue come about?

Rorschach had a bold inference in his mind that Jacob's abilities could not be created out of nothing, which meant that he could not create illusions based on the fantasies in his head alone, but must rely on the basis of reality. Suppose his ability to scan a certain area around him, using this range as the basis for the illusion, on the basis of which he incarnates himself as "Kane", and pulls the victim's consciousness into the illusion to commit sadistic acts.

And Jacob, who is already dead, can't continue to strengthen "Kane" in the illusion, so the "Kane" he met in the morgue should be the form he was in when he fought the caretaker before he died, so after he was transported to the hospital, the residual consciousness activation ability, the last "Kane" appeared, which can also explain why the "Kane" here is not so strong.

Or you can also assume that this is not Jacob's memory, but a "script", and the reason why it is said to be a "script" and not a memory, because memory cannot achieve a full perspective, but the script is different, then this should be a "script" based on Jacob's memory.

The people who appear here are all former victims, their consciousness trapped in the "script", and the real ontology should be like Jessica, who is in a coma in the real world, or has died.

They are brutally murdered here according to Jacob's "script", and it is even very likely that this script will be repeated indefinitely, and Jacob makes the "script" more interesting, and the "Kane" set here is not very strong, so as to give the victim hope of survival, and correspondingly, the despair will be even stronger in the final ending.

And the appearance of Rorschach has changed the "script", just like the screenwriter faced the role suddenly inserted by the gold owner, Jacob's residual consciousness found that something was wrong, but when he died, he was no longer able to carry out deep operations on consciousness, so he could only trap him here simply and rudely, and then continue the "script".

If these assumptions are true, then the most important thing to worry about is whether there will be a final "Kane".
