Although the visual distance in the fog is only about ten meters, the town is too quiet, so any sound made will be amplified countless times by this tranquility.

Even if he couldn't see the other party's figure, Yi Qi could catch Laura's little tail tightly according to the sound of footsteps.

After a few minutes, the disadvantages of children are revealed, and their physical strength is not as good as that of adults, so the distance between the two is also shortening as time goes on.

Just when Yi Qi could vaguely see the figure of the other party through the fog, Laura suddenly made a sharp turn and rushed into the building on one side.

Yi Qi paused and stopped in front of the building, because the breath it released was more than that of the apartment... It is also dark, obscure and crazy, like a gathering place of pain and torment.

A short time later, Maria also stepped on high-heeled leather boots and rushed to Ichie's side out of breath.

She held her knees for a moment before looking at the building in front of her: "Hospital? That kid... Ran into the hospital? ”

"Hmm~!"

Ichi nodded, responding in a thick, nasal voice.

"That's not going to work!" Maria hurried to the hospital, then pushed open the door: "How can a child run to the hospital to play?" It's just too dangerous. ”

But Yi Qi was indifferent, and just followed behind Maria, and when she saw that nothing unusual happened, she dodged into the hospital.

The hospital looks like an apartment, with a dilapidated scene and useless clutter scattered all over the place, seemingly... It has been abandoned for a long time.

Fortunately, the light here is not dim, at least... You can see your surroundings without the help of lights.

After entering the hospital, Maria ran to look for Laura, and Ichie didn't try to stop her, just stood where she was, passing through the map... Look at the topography of the hospital.

The topography of the hospital is simple, and after entering the gate... It is the lobby on the first floor, which is mainly used as a place for registration, charging, guidance, and rest and waiting.

Therefore, in addition to the registration desk and the guidance desk in the lobby on the first floor, there are only rows of benches for rest and waiting.

Of course, these are the main features, but in addition to... There are also ancillary facilities connected to the hall, such as... The stairwell leading upstairs, as well as the doctor's duty room.

Seeing this, Yi Qi couldn't help but look at the duty room on his right, with the door wide open.

Maria's goal was to find Laura, so she just glanced at the duty room and left without her.

But for Yi Qi, this duty room with a wide open door has a different meaning, after all... Not every room is easily accessible.

Thinking of this, he walked into the room, but... Yi Qi's gaze remained on the map.

The hall has a long corridor to the left and to the right.

Judging from the map, the corridor on the right is longer, mainly the consultation room, disposal room of each department, and... A place for doctors and nurses to work and rest.

The long corridor on the left is relatively short, mainly for the emergency department, as well as several operating rooms.

After writing down the structure of the first floor, Yi Qi put away the map, and as for the structure of the other floors, it will only be unlocked by the map after going to that floor.

While putting away the map, Yi Qi began to observe the duty room in front of him, and then a half-used desk forcibly broke into his field of vision.

Although the desk is half-new, it becomes extremely abrupt and conspicuous compared to this dilapidated office.

Afterwards, Ichie reached out and picked up two items on it—a key, and a medical book.

【Name:Elevator Key】

[Genre: Plot Item]

[Quality: Peculiar]

[Function: Start the elevator]

[Note: A key that can start the elevator, even if... There is no power supply at all......】

……

[Name: A case book full of graffiti]

[Genre: Plot Item]

[Quality: Normal]

[Function: Reading]

[Note: It records a doctor's rhapsody, as for... What is credible and what is not is up to you to judge. 】

……

"Heh~! Fragments? ”

Throwing the elevator key into the card, Yi Qi borrowed the light of the flashlight to read the medical record book in his hand directly.

[This disease lurks in everyone's heart, and in a given situation, everyone will, like him, surrender to the 'other side'.

This appellation is not accurate, after all... Between here and there, there are no borders. It was a place where reality and illusion blurred, close and distant.

Some people say that it is not a disease.

But I beg to differ, I am a doctor, not a philosopher, nor a psychiatrist, so I can only explain the phenomena I see in a sick way.

But I still ask myself from time to time.

From a medical point of view, his hallucinations... It's just a result of the brain being too active.

But for the patient himself, he does not have the real world as we know it, because in the hallucinations that arise from the activity of the brain, he finds happiness and relief.

Therefore, I often ask myself why in the name of therapy, I want to pull him into the so-called reality - a world that only makes him feel pain......

Underneath the doctor's whims, there were also brief descriptions of the patient's illness.

Joseph. Barkin: Shows schizophrenia and paranoid paranoia.

Joshua. Levi's: Shows strong paranoia of victimization and likes to use violence to solve problems......]

"Heh~! Is this kind of small hospital also qualified to treat mental illness? Yi Qi slowly closed the case book, and couldn't help but evoke a smile with irony: "Or do the guys who come here have mental problems?"

Fortunately, the doctor's rhapsodies have verified my conjecture, so... All that's left is to find out the root cause of everything, or... What happened between James and Mary.

I've roughly guessed the plot of this fuck, but it's a good idea to verify it just in case......"

……

Dada-da~!

While Yi Qi touched his chin and muttered to himself, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from the hall, followed by Maria's call: "James, are you there?" ”

"I'm here!" Yi Qi responded, then restrained his contemptuous smile, and then walked out of the duty room: "What? Didn't find Laura? ”

Maria shook her head in frustration: "I searched the first floor, only to find that the rooms were locked, so... Now I have to go upstairs to look for it. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Yi Qi nodded, and then took out the elevator key: "I did find something, you see... It's the elevator key! ”

"Elevator?" Mary was stunned.

"yes, it's in the hallway on the left."

Mary immediately showed a helpless look on her face and said, "James, didn't you go and see?" The entrance to the corridor on the left has been blocked by debris......"
