This old man, who seems to be weak and not in a very good mental state, is not afraid of the monster outside the door who may break into the door at any time and chop the two of them into minced meat.

What made Tang Juyi even more incomprehensible was that the six-armed monster who obviously had the ability to easily break through the door of the ward was really as the old man said, abiding by the so-called "doctor-patient code".

This is undoubtedly unreasonable in Tang Juyi's understanding.

But soon, Tang Juyi thought of the previous experience of surviving by "hiding and seeking" in the cabinet in the archives, and a bold guess also came to mind:

"Could it be...... Is this really just a game? ”

Originally, in Tang Juyi's speculation, the "game" in the mouth of the rabbit mask man was just a madman's self-entertainment, just like the puppet clown in "Chainsaw" said "I want to play a game with you".

But now, with all kinds of abnormal situations happening to him, Tang Juyi has to start thinking deeply about the meaning behind these two words.

"X-rays are similar to the plot clues in a game, and the black letters on the back are a kind of hint to move the plot or survive...... In this case, the monster that wanders repeatedly resembles an NPC patrolling a strict range, triggering certain instantaneous flags as the story progresses......"

Tang Juyi's thinking quickly linked these clues together:

"The old man in room 407 can also be seen as a node in the story quest, and his role is to force me to go to the second floor to get a special item, and then exchange it for another thing that will help me understand the truth, which is to win the game."

Thinking of this, Tang Juyi looked at the old man beside him who had been staring at him, and a strange feeling also arose:

"In this way, the [Doctor-Patient Code] just now is also a kind of corroboration - similar to the rules of the game that must be followed, under limited conditions, the monsters that can rush in must retreat, which is not only a reminder of my way to live, but also a hint at the true nature of my game......"

In retrospect, waking up from the operating room on the 3rd floor, and then looking for the first X-ray and starting to be chased by monsters, then relying on calm and quick thinking to realize where the clues are, and then all the way to the current room 408, everything Tang Juyi experienced during his period was like a horror game, not only with clue items and the setting of the flag plot, but also covered up some key clues.

Like the smeared patient information wristbands and the stained maps, they all seemed to be deliberate.

Tang Juyi's thinking ended here, and he already had a vague concept of his own situation.

"I see...... It's a wonderful setup......"

Tang Juyi smiled, his smile was full of admiration.

Then, Tang Juyi stood up and also looked at the old man on the side:

"If I can fix this flashlight for you, what can you give me?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes became a little unkind:

"Didn't you just say yes—"

"I promised to help you fix it—"

Tang Juyi directly interrupted:

"But I didn't promise you to fix it for you. What we're talking about now is, if I fix it, what can you give me? ”

The old man's gaze was a little unsettling, but he still compromised in a vicious tone:

"Okay...... If you can fix it, I'll give you something that should help you find that kid. ”

Tang Juyi's eyes lit up:

"The kid? Who are you talking about? Xiao Zhe? ”

The old man ignored Tang Juyi's speculation, and just continued:

"But if you don't do what you promised......"

"I'll let that rude guy take you away, a liar."

That "impolite guy" is naturally talking about the six-armed monster that was driven away before.

Tang Juyi was a little dignified in his heart, and he also knew that what this old man said was probably not cruel, but the truth.

If he hadn't been able to fix the flashlight, he might have called the monster over and made himself into a barbecued pork bun.

Although Tang Juyi does not know what the provisions of the "Doctor-Patient Code" are, it stands to reason that there should be clauses such as "providing patients with the help they need".

And if you think about it with your toes, you know that the old guy who chased Tang Juyi from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor should be happy to provide "help" to the old man.

However, there seems to be only one way to go. Since this old man is relieved, it means that Tang Juyi has not fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, there is a possibility of getting certain clues from this room 408.

Since this setting exists, if it is understood from a game perspective, it means that there must be the possibility of fixing the flashlight.

Thinking so, Tang Juyi also began to pay attention to the flashlight.

Tang Juyi fiddled with the old flashlight, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and looked over and over for a while, and finally understood where that sense of contradiction came from.

When I was a child, this kind of flashlight was very common - huge volume, strong material, harsh shiny, heavy feel.

At this time, Tang Juyi realized that the flashlight in his hand did not have the weight it should have.

In front of the old man in front of him, Tang Juyi also unceremoniously opened the battery cover of the flashlight, and showed a "sure enough" look.

"Do you know how to fix it?"

The old man stared at Tang Juyi with suspicious eyes.

"How so...... It can be repaired, because the reason why it doesn't light up is because there is no battery stuffed inside. ”

Tang Juyi changed the angle of the flashlight in his hand and showed the empty battery box to the emaciated old man.

"...... battery? Battery...... Not...... Right! Battery! ”

The old man seemed to remember something, and patted his head violently.

Looking at his strength, Tang Juyi was even afraid that he would accidentally shoot himself out of trouble.

"I forgot my battery with the attending physician......"

Okay, when I heard this, Tang Juyi also understood, similar to the pipe that the old man of 407 said before, this time the battery is also a task that needs to be searched, but it can be regarded as the precursor of the pipe task.

There was no need for the old man in front of him to say more, Tang Juyi naturally took over the conversation:

"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, I'll help you find this battery."

The unspoken words were choked in his throat, and after a while, the old man said with doubt:

"Like you said...... Please go find the battery. ”

Tang Juyi spread his hands, obviously knowing that he would receive the commission to find the battery anyway, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

However, considering that there was a brother with six knives who might be hanging outside, and the attending doctor's office might also be in unknown danger, Tang Juyi still didn't rush there, but asked tentatively first:

"Then again, if I'm going to the attending doctor's office, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

This sentence is very clever, because Tang Juyi did not ask if there was any danger or something, but said "what needs attention", so the scope of the encompassing is very wide.

The old man scratched his head, as if trying to remember something:

"It should ...... Just don't make a lot of noise. ”

Tang Juyi's expression was grim:

"Got it."

After gradually becoming familiar with the rules of this game, Tang Juyi certainly would not stupidly regard "don't make loud noises" as an inconsequential sign of civilization, on the contrary, Tang Juyi attaches great importance to this reminder.

"Is it a plot where something happens if you make a sound......

Tang Juyi walked towards the door of the ward and began to speculate about the situation he might encounter.

"It's not just me who has to be quiet, I'm afraid I have to handle things with care, right? If something happens by accident, you don't know what will happen......"

Tang Juyi's thoughts were very thoughtful, after all, his life seemed so fragile in this hospital, anything that might come out could easily torture him.

Since there will be the first monster, there will naturally be a second and a third......

Sighing, Tang Juyi also sorted out his mentality, carefully pushed open the door of the ward, and glanced out.

There were traces of the previous monster's walking on the ground, brown sticky footprints stretched all the way to the entrance of the stairway, and there was still a faint fishy smell in the air.

"It doesn't look like it will come out for a while."

Tang Juyi hesitated for a moment, and then decided to hurry up and go to the attending doctor's office to find out.

As for the other wards, Tang Juyi didn't try them one by one in order to get the batteries as soon as possible. After all, judging from the clues given on the X-rays, the rooms that can theoretically trigger the next plot are only 408 and 407.

It is worth mentioning that in order to avoid the trap of "preconceived" logic, Tang Juyi also tried to open the door of 409, until he found that the door was locked, and he completely strengthened his judgment, that is, 407 was the room where the narrator in the second X-ray was located.

Speeding up slightly, Tang Juyi cautiously observed the situation in the corridor while groping towards the attending doctor's office in his memory.

At this time, the advantages of strengthened wisdom are reflected, and Tang Juyi's strong memory ability allows him to know everything he has seen before, and the obvious sense of space that has grown by leaps and bounds also allows him to judge the location of the office at the first time.

It didn't take long for Tang Juyi to come to the door of the attending doctor's office in the deepest part of the 4th floor.

Looking at the bloody handprints on the glass door, Tang Juyi was also a little frightened:

"Is that a warning to me not to go in......

Although this malicious environmental hint made Tang Juyi feel extremely uneasy, in order to understand the truth about the hospital, he still took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

"Squeak—"

The rusty iron shaft of the door made an overwhelmed sound, and this office that exuded cold air was like a demon from hell, opening its heart to Tang Juyi and issuing the most sincere invitation......
