This time, after repeated thinking and discussion, Zhao Qiqi and Zhang Qiang and I finally decided on the attributes of the three patients who communicated with them, which was the only hint for the three of them.

"Old man", "philosopher", "keeper of secrets".

The reason why we chose them was a choice we made after many attempts and still failures.

Here's why:

When we set Mina's first friend as the "old man", it will trigger the plot of "Brain in a Jar" given by him.

In the old man's narration, they believe that the world they live in is false and that the whole world is a hoax.

Especially at the end, the old man said that she would hide herself and reduce her sense of existence, so that she would not wake up the "God who created this world", so that they could live forever.

That's the key tip.

From the perspective of the "old man" and these hallucinating characters, as long as Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Situ Cao do not wake up from them, they will always exist, so what about the other way around?

As long as Wang Yi and the others notice this, they can successfully escape from the world of illusion.

We chose to attribute the second patient as "philosopher" for a simple reason.

The "philosopher" will trigger him to tell stories such as "quantum entanglement" and "unfortunate loops".

And these two points are also the tips we give them.

The story of "Quantum Entanglement" is to remind them that although they are in that world, they are still closely linked to the fate of several of us, and only when they succeed in escaping will we be able to survive.

As for the "cycle of misfortune", it goes without saying.

As a hint, they have been repeated many times in the world of illusions.

The last psychopath was chosen as the "Keeper of Secrets" for no other reason.

Whether it is the "99 Agreement" or the "Seahorse Effect", the purpose is to remind them that their memories have been tampered with by some force.

Through these three patients, we want to give them tips on how to escape from hallucinations.

Maybe Wang Yi felt this subconsciously, or maybe they had already gone through the game many times, and some memories remained in their minds, although I don't have substantial evidence.

In short, when they triggered the death game eight times and started the ninth game, this time, at the insistence of Situ Cao, that is, the hallucinating 'Zhao Qiqi', they left the umbrella behind.

The so-called "Situ Cao" in the hallucination who proposed to throw away the umbrella is likely to be deliberately designed by the "True Demon" to mislead them, and of course, it is also possible that it is just the embodiment of Situ Cao's reason.

The key to this game is not to be overly sensible, that is, the more intelligent the player, the more they will be bypassed into a dead end by their own cleverness, and the more the player wants to fight wits with the key characters in the illusion, the easier it is to be deceived, and people who often rely only on intuition to make judgments can successfully escape the illusion.

In the ninth game, the most critical point is that when the fake 'Situ Cao' in the hallucination proposed to throw the umbrella away immediately, Situ Cao, who mistakenly thought he was Zhao Qiqi, prevented this from happening in time.

In the end, the three of them will be guided by inertial thinking to the KTV, and finally taken by Yin Ruiping to the so-called "white room", when the so-called "data socket" on the back of the head is connected to the data, their consciousness really escaped from the illusion.

At this point, the curtain has become a pure white.

Their consciousness has finally returned.

After the three of us woke up Wang Yi and the others, we told them everything that had just happened.

After listening to everything I said, Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Situ Cao all widened their eyes in shock, their faces full of shock and stunned.

"You mean, I'm Wang Yi?"

"I'm Du Deming?"

"I'm Situ Cao?"

The three of them turned their heads to look at us in a daze, as if they had not fully woken up from the world of illusions.

I smiled helplessly: "Of course, and don't you just look at us?" If there were mirrors now, it might be more intuitive to look in the mirror for you. It's a pity that we can't get out of this room right now, we're still tied to chairs. ”

"Yes! I can prove that what Gao Wei said is true, you don't know, just now we were here watching you repeat the game, I don't know how nervous! Zhang Qiang also said.

After listening to our words, Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Situ Cao only blinked, they looked at each other, but there was no response.

After two seconds, only a few clicks were heard, and the belt buckle that had originally imprisoned our bodies was loosened one after another.

Then, the mechanical voice of the "True Demon" suddenly rang out again.

"The ninth squad players Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Situ Cao successfully escaped from the hallucination, and the game entered the next step, and the players will be sent to the real Mingshan Mental Hospital. Optional Mission 2 is now available: Six players in the ninth squad need to successfully play the game-assigned role within two days of entering the Famous Mountain Mental Hospital, and ensure that their role is always played by themselves, 250 points. ”

Next, in the air in front of us, the roles of each of the six people are revealed.

Wang Yi and I were assigned the roles of psychiatrists, Zhang Qiang and Du Deming were assigned the roles of security guards, and Zhao Qiqi and Situ Cao were nurses.

When everyone saw the roles assigned above, there was a squeak.

A crack opened in the originally pure white world.

The door was opened.

We looked at each other, and finally, I was the first to stand up.

"Let's go! Let's go out and see what happens next. ”

With that, I walked towards the gate.

The others hesitated for two seconds, and then followed.

The six chairs behind us turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared the moment we got up to leave.

Pushing the door open, I cautiously looked outside.

It is a dense dark green bush.

Over here...... What seems to be the garden of the place??

With doubts in mind, I stepped into this uncharted territory.

The moment all six of them walked out of the white room, the white door behind them, like any door in Doraemon, disappeared directly.

Zhang Qiang looked around with some curiosity, and he blinked: "Here, it seems to be a little familiar!" ”

I also turned my head to look around, and when I saw the creeper growing on the outer wall of a certain building, I finally came to my senses: "I remembered! This is the backyard of the Mingshan Psychiatric Hospital, where Wang Yi and the others had been here when they were playing games before. ”

Zhang Qiang patted his head: "Hey, the 'True Demon' just reminded us that we will be sent to the real Mingshan Mental Hospital, look at my brain, forget it so quickly!" ”

Just when we didn't know what to do next, three people walked in our direction.
