Chapter 10 Progress
"Well, it's time to head to the 2nd floor......"
Tang Juyi moved his hands and feet, took a deep breath, and also stood in the corridor at the end of the corridor.
At this time, Tang Juyi already had three X-rays on his body, and the flashlight of 408 had also fallen into his hands, but because he didn't know how long the battery could last, Tang Juyi didn't dare to turn it on at will.
The X-ray that was curled and folded propped up Tang Juyi's pockets slightly, which made his movement somewhat inconvenient, but considering that there were no other clothes to wear, Tang Juyi could only endure it.
In fact, he had also considered putting the X-rays he had already obtained in room 408 and keeping them for when he came back from the second floor, but after thinking about it, if there happened to be a place on the second floor where he needed to use these three X-rays, it would be a big trouble.
After thinking about it, I simply took it with me.
"It's a little dark...... It's like you can't see your fingers......"
Tang Juyi walked slowly along the handrail to the 3rd floor, and from the quiet atmosphere, he also judged from the quiet atmosphere that the monster that kept wandering around the hospital at this time was not anywhere on the 3rd floor, so he was also more vigilant.
In this kind of pure dark environment, it is difficult to run even with the lighting of a flashlight, so if he happens to bump into that monster and fails to avoid it in time, the probability of Tang Juyi's death is almost 100%.
"That thing doesn't seem to have a head, and I wonder if it can see the light of a flashlight?"
Tang Juyi recalled the disgusting tentacles on the monster's neck, and he was also a chill.
Tiptoeing to the second floor, a rotten old smell came to my face, like the barren smell of an old house in disrepair, oozing with damp stuffiness.
Tang Juyi didn't turn on the flashlight for the first time, but leaned against the wall and poked out half of his head, held his breath, and listened carefully to the sound on the second floor.
Aside from his own heartbeat, there were no sharp rubbing sounds or footsteps as he had imagined, which meant that there was a good chance that the monster wasn't on the second floor.
Although it can't be ruled out that the monster has converged on the sound, but from the perspective of "game", the appearance of that monster and the iconic sound are almost like a shadow, which is equivalent to a disguised prompt, so the possibility mentioned above is naturally minimal.
"So you don't have to worry about the lights coming in, right?"
Tang Juyi secretly guessed, and at the same time, he turned on the switch of the flashlight, so that the scenery on the second floor was clearly displayed in front of him.
The walls with posters of dietary instructions and anatomical charts, and the floors of the corridors paved with old tiles, each reveal the word "normal".
Tang Juyi quickly swept the flashlight light across every part of this corridor, and quickly confirmed the location of the room of the "Psychological Counseling Room", intending to solve it quickly.
Only Tang Juyi's slight footsteps echoed in the entire corridor, and there didn't seem to be any other living person.
In the process of walking, Tang Juyi is also always vigilant about the situation at the entrance of the building, if he finds that the monster on the first floor has a tendency to come up, he will decisively turn off the flashlight light.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing abnormal, and Tang Juyi easily came to the door of the psychological counseling room.
As you can see, the door of this room seems to have not been opened for a long time, the lock is already mottled with rust, and the small glass window on the door is covered with dust.
Tang Juyi wiped the dust on the small glass window with his hand, and then put the flashlight against the window, letting the light shine into the room.
Because there is also a layer of ash inside the glass, what Tang Juyi can see is very blurry. However, it is certain that there are no moving objects inside.
Seeing this situation, Tang Juyi also confidently and boldly twisted the doorknob.
"Click"
The door lock did not open as expected.
Tang Juyi was stunned for a moment, tried a few more times, and realized that it was not the door lock that was necrotic, but that he did not have the key to open the door.
"Excuse me?"
Tang Juyi turned to look at the emergency room on the other side, and he also had a judgment in his heart.
"Is it any wonder that there has been no information about the emergency room, so if you want to open the door of the psychological room, you must first go to the emergency room and find the key?"
Although it was just a guess, Tang Juyi still turned around and walked towards the emergency room.
At the same time, at the staircase at the end of the corridor, there was once again the sound of low footsteps.
Tang Juyi did not feel frightened, but was relieved in his heart, and more firmly believed in his judgment, and at the same time accelerated his pace and walked straight to the door of the emergency room.
After the previous encounters, Tang Juyi had already understood the opportunity for the appearance of that monster - a progressive exploration of the plot.
When the first X-ray is found, the monster appears, and vaguely hints that the text behind the X-ray means a clue.
Upon entering room 408, the monster reappears and introduces the concept of a "doctor-patient code", hinting at the rules of the game.
The third time, that is, this time, when Tang Juyi tried to go to the emergency room, it happened to appear, and in Tang Juyi's eyes, this showed the correctness of his thinking.
Sure enough, the door of the emergency room was not locked, and Tang Juyi stepped into the room of the emergency room without hesitation.
closed the door with his backhand, but Tang Juyi did not turn off the flashlight that might attract the monster in the first place, but used light to illuminate the environment inside the emergency room.
A wooden table with a thick layer of dust, a small bed that was already covered in stains, and a string of keys that just sat on the table.
Tang Juyi quickly stepped forward to take the key, and opened the drawer of the wooden table, and then saw an expected X-ray.
After revealing a look of "sure enough", Tang Juyi also hurried to turn the X-ray to the back, revealing the fourth clue he had collected.
[There is a devil living in his body...... No...... Wrong...... He is the devil!! 】
This line of writing is crooked, and it seems that the mood is very unstable when writing, or the time is pressing, so it is a little difficult for Tang Juyi to recognize.
"Huh? Don't have any escape tips? ”
Tang Juyi frowned, realizing that the clues on this X-ray were only related to the truth of the hospital, and did not involve any hints about the way to survive.
The footsteps outside the corridor were getting closer and closer, and at this time, Tang Juyi, who was in deep crisis, also realized something, so he directly turned off the light of the flashlight, stood in front of the table, and waited silently.
Without the light of the flashlight, the entire corridor was plunged back into pure darkness.
His low footsteps slowly paced to the door of the emergency room, and Tang Juyi slowly slowed down his breathing.
With a "squeak" sound, Tang Juyi could clearly hear the sound of the door being opened, and a fishy smell also permeated from the open door.
Tang Juyi just closed his eyes, held his breath, and didn't make any other moves.
Although there was only pitch black in his sight, Tang Juyi could clearly feel the existence of that monster.
It just stood in the doorway, but it gave people a shadow of death.
"Without hinting at a way to survive and triggering any other events, it would be impossible for me to fall into a mortal situation, so that's the only possibility......"
Although the close contact with this monster again still made Tang Juyi fall into fear, because of the experience of escaping death in the archive room last time, Tang Juyi was not as unbearable as he was at the beginning.
Coupled with his understanding of the rules of this "game", Tang Juyi is quite sure that he has not made the wrong choice.
"With that monster's speed, even if I can find the key the first time I enter the emergency room, I'm bound to encounter it head-on if I go out, which means that the only way to save my life is to stay in this room."
Tang Juyi repeatedly emphasized his thoughts in his heart, so that he would not be at a loss because of fear.
After a long silence, the monster seemed to just stand at the door and look around the emergency room, and did not step into the door of the emergency room, but slowly moved its steps outside.
It seems that in the midst of this unusual "absolute darkness", its vision has also been greatly affected.
Tang Juyi's body relaxed, and the heart he had been carrying was also relaxed:
"Betting on the right ......"
As Tang Juyi guessed, in the situation just now, the only way to escape from that monster was to borrow this dark environment that treated everyone equally.
There's no need to run away, you don't need to lock the door, just hold your breath, be quiet, and you're good to go.
The only thing that is needed is the wisdom and courage to think about it.
You know, if you change to another person who is not strong enough, in the first few minutes, you will inevitably act irrationally due to the influence of self-doubt and fear, such as running away hysterically......
And if that's the case, in such a small space, Tang Juyi, who was blocked in the emergency room by this monster, would definitely die.
Thinking, rationality, courage, and action, the lack of any of these four factors will lead to death, and the most fortunate thing is that Tang Juyi happens to be barely satisfied.
In fact, until now, Tang Juyi has gradually understood how terrifying the wisdom given to him by the "playground" is: highly concentrated attention, agile and clear thinking and logical ability, strong memory, rich spatial association ability, and self-control ability under the influence of extreme rationality......
These abilities helped Tang Juyi escape death again and again, and dig out the truth step by step.
He even thought more than once: If he didn't choose wisdom in the first place, would he still be able to live until now?
And the existence of the "playground" is becoming more and more mysterious in his eyes.
Then again, as on the previous occasions, the monster's footsteps faded away, and finally disappeared into the staircase, with no intention of staying.
And its departure also means one thing:
It's time for the doors of the counseling room to be opened......
