Volume IV, 05: Finding Clues and Making Layouts
Two hours is actually a very short time, especially for Benin, who has to search for a huge garden and another small building, such a large search area, in a limited time, he must not do everything, he can only focus on one aspect.
"Let me think about it, with an identity that needs to hide secrets, no normal person will put important clues in a place where everyone can go, that kind of thinking of going dark under the lights, basically when there is no other way, it is forced to use, but this hospital is already quite tightly arranged and thoughtful, I think what can be found in this garden must be very limited, I have to focus on that small building."
Benin took this into account, so after separating from Chen Xi, he decided to spend only half an hour searching the fountain garden. For the other nearly an hour and a half, try to get to the small building, and if not, spend the rest of the time searching the fountain garden.
Just because the garden is on the back burner doesn't mean that Benin doesn't want to find something useful here.
It took him five minutes to do a quick lap around the place, and only after he knew it by heart did he start thinking about how to search.
This is the same as what I saw in the ward before I came, the overall area of the garden is large, and the terrain is more complicated.
In addition to the four fountains that can be used as targets, there are meadows, forests, lakes, and dirt slopes that should be found in a park, and a large number of flowers of all kinds are planted nearby. This is still a general summary, in addition to rockeries, stone floors, wooden courtyards, benches and other exquisite arrangements. Arguably. When it comes to creating an elegant and comfortable living environment, Beredal General Hospital knows how to please its patients.
But this is a great pain for him who has to search inside.
In the meantime, even with the best of the eye, it is difficult to spot some distant places and corners. In this case, not to mention letting him alone look for clues that he doesn't know what kind of existence is, even if it is to let dozens of people search for things that have fixed knowledge here, it will be quite difficult and time-consuming.
As a smart person who can get a double master's degree at the age of 23, Benin certainly does not plan to do this kind of stupid thing that wastes a lot of effort and does not necessarily gain something, but uses his own brains. Think of an easier way to search.
At this time. It's been more than ten minutes since I received the notice of the public relations campaign, and all the patients in the ward who want to come out to breathe have come out, so I got rid of some people who like to stay in the library. There are nearly three hundred people scattered in the garden.
Seeing so many people or leisurely looking at flowers and talking. Or bored walking around and lying in a chair. Benin suddenly thought of what to do, and he could mobilize these people to help find it.
And he has this condition. The system doesn't pick the door, and each of them has nearly 10,000 local currencies left. You can use this part of the money as an inducement.
It's just that when it comes to how to implement it, Benin is a little worried, there is no good reason, it is impossible to directly let them find their wallets and keys, those things are useless.
Fortunately, there is another person to turn to.
Benin immediately used the exchange communication tool, an earbud walkie-talkie that can communicate within a range of 500 meters, to tell Chen Xi his thoughts.
"Scum Chen, help me think about what kind of excuse would be more appropriate, and it would be better for them to find all the strange things they can see."
In just ten seconds, Chen Xi, who has always had a wide range of thinking, gave the answer.
"It's very simple, you say that you are a cerebral palsy patient, because of the complications of a terminal illness, resulting in memory loss and not remembering what you lost, only vaguely remembering a few shapes and things that feel strange."
"You ......"
Benin immediately wanted to hit the wall, and he found that asking Chen Xi for help was simply a complete mistake.
However, thinking of his own purpose, Benin still stubbornly began to advertise to the patients around him that he was a cerebral palsy patient.
"Excuse me, can you do me a favor, I lost a few things"
Driven by the idea of money bounties and time to play in boredom, more than half of the people participated in the action.
It's just that after waiting for a lot of inexplicable things to be found, Benin is worried again, it seems that he doesn't know how to distinguish it, and the things here don't seem to meet his requirements.
I don't know what kind of animals and birds are teeth, bones, strange-shaped wood carvings, stones, broken ornaments, accessories, and even gums, fruits, birds' eggs and other things have been taken by some boring and egg-hurting guys, but none of them can satisfy him, at least he must be able to feel some strange places.
Holding this pile of things that felt useless, Benin wanted to cry without tears, so he had to repeat the request after sending some hardship money: "Is there anything strange and strange that you find weird and strange?" ”
In terms of the power of money, these people answered a variety of questions, but Benin can be sure that most of them knew at the beginning that the Tao was some improvised and unreliable statements, which were full of uncertain words or, maybe, probably, and maybe, but the effort paid off, and finally one person answered with a more accurate content.
"Speaking of which, I do remember a place, there was a pit that collapsed into the corner of a wooden garden I found, and the shadow was a bit heavy at the time, and I only saw a lot of long red things in it, I suspected that it was a bug or something, so I didn't dare to reach for it."
Quickly pulling out a few bills and handing them over, Benin hurriedly called the man to lead the way.
After a twist and turn, a group of people arrived at their destination in a mighty way, near the wooden courtyard by the lake. Obviously, what the man said had already aroused the curiosity of everyone except Benin, and they wanted to find out.
But when he saw the pothole, Benin realized that he might still be running for nothing. Looking at the signs of collapse around the pothole, it was easy for him, who had a wealth of survival experience, to distinguish them. That's because the soil is loosened due to groundwater erosion, not because of possible monsters.
"It seems that the focus can only be placed on the small building"
Benin sighed, and didn't care if it was an insect or not, he directly bent down and reached in, and then pulled out a piece of pipeline bundled together, there were dozens of them, and looking at the direction of the path, they were all connected to Muting.
"Cut~~ It turned out to be an underground pipeline."
"Bored, I thought something was going to happen. White was excited. ”
The onlookers behind them saw that it was actually this kind of thing. In an instant, he lost the mind to continue to explore, and dispersed, only some of the people who were still thinking about the money reward could not go.
Benin doesn't care about these people, because he has found out. The columns, stone tables, and eaves in the wooden courtyard all had patterns and carvings that they had previously thought were suspicious. And the feeling of danger is compared to that of stone and copper. It's just a little worse, but it's much stronger than the others.
…………
When Benin was in action, Chen Xi was not idle.
He's going to start brainwashing the hundred or so people here in some way. Stir up their distrust of this hospital.
This is the reason for choosing a library without being in charge of the garden.
Compared to those who go to the garden, patients who only want to stay in the quiet library are more sensitive and reserved in temperament, and are more likely to immerse themselves in their own world, in other words, the so-called thinking too much.
As long as it can be guaranteed that what is said is combined with some reality, and there is a certain amount of relevant evidence to substantiate, then, with a few words of lure, these people themselves can continue to think deeply along the corresponding lines, and then they will be trapped by those ideas that are constantly confirmed, and thus convinced.
And I don't know if I should say that this hospital is doing its own thing, or if I never thought that someone would design it specifically for this aspect. Their harsh management arrangements in order to prevent secrets from being discovered have also sown the evil consequences of mutual distrust between patients and doctors.
None of the staff members in the inpatient department are more than two years old, and the more suspicious patients ask, they will inevitably be persuaded by this obviously strange situation that there is a huge problem with this hospital.
Correspondingly, the staff of the hospital will certainly have doubts about the rapid replacement of patients, but they cannot speak due to the strict regulations on management. It should be said that this kind of psychology is better than before, because there will be no unexpected circumstances, and the rule of transferring away in two years is enough to limit them from accumulating the seeds of doubt to the stage of explosion, and they can cut off the soil for suspicion to grow halfway.
However, once a sufficient number of patients begin to be suspicious, they will naturally not be able to appear to be rational in their answers, and shortness of breath will be their normal reaction.
This kind of attitude that you can see at a glance that there is a ghost in your heart will definitely detonate more patients' suspicions about this hospital. Even under the kidnapping of some kind of guilt out of professional ethics, some hospital staff will quickly turn into staunch people to repay this psychological guilt, and their attitude will be more determined than that of real patients. Under the instigation of this group of rebels, even some patients who maintain hope in the hospital will be completely disappointed and become as angry as other patients.
(This kind of psychology is actually very interesting, and it often happens in life, for example, a police officer X because of his wrong relationship, causing the victim to have an undeserved situation, even if it is a very small problem, will have a huge paranoia, hatred or tension about the corresponding type of criminal activity.) )
It's just that because of the limited time, Chen Xi's targets are mainly those who seem to be more knowledgeable and rigorous, and this kind of person is easier to gain the trust of others in ordinary interactions, and it is convenient for more people to be aroused to suspect this hospital without him.
These are the main activities that Chen Xi plans to plan in the library. As for the other one, it's to see if there are some additional clues here.
As he wandered from ward to ward, he found that the books here could be borrowed by patients. For some people who have poor reading habits, there are always a few words left on the page, and it is likely that there will be clues related to the secrets of the hospital. On top of that, he wondered if he could find some older books here.
Because there will always be many problems in the initial stage of a system, it is difficult to avoid some mistakes, and this represents more opportunities to get closer to the truth. (To be continued......)
