Chapter 124 The Man in the Mirror

Chapter 124 The Man in the Mirror

The damp smell in the air enters my nose, triggering the urge to sneeze. This storage room was probably located in a remote corner that was of little use, and passers-by came and went in a hurry without even casting a glance at it.

Ye Yunhe frowned and carefully distinguished the messy strokes on the brick in the swaying white light. Some of the scratches were mixed with black blood and mud, as if someone had used it to hit someone else's head hard, and finally fell to the ground and rolled for a few times.

Glass fingers cannot transmit touch, and the method of using hands instead of eyes will be banned directly.

She whispered the words she could barely make out.

"The restraints that are digging into my flesh are tying me up... It hurts so much... It's so painful... The blood is flowing non-stop..."

"I want to go out, why do they want to go out, where is he, I, ..."

"I want to go out"

"I want to go out"

"I'm out."

…

The edges and corners of the bricks are covered with scratches.

The chaotic handwriting and words revealed the worrying mental state of the pen holder. The words engraved in Ye Yunhe's eyes like keywords aroused her deep PTSD.

She subconsciously thought of the human experiment, but she suspected that this was a smokescreen created by the copy to divert her thoughts, so she hid this possibility in her heart, pursed her lips and picked up another clue.

"I want to go out..." She muttered this sentence that appeared very frequently, "I also saw these four words in the first space. I'll write them down first."

The second clue was written on a dry leaf. Fortunately, it was not dried thoroughly and would not break into pieces accidentally. Ye Yunhe folded it carefully and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his uniform, fearing that it would be torn in half with a single movement during the battle.

This time, the tool used by the author should be his/her fingernails. Although the writing is ugly, it is clear.

"He's dead. I couldn't believe it. It all felt like a dream. When I woke up, all I saw was red and his body."

"I kept running. No one could understand the pain in my heart. My feet were covered with blisters and my nails were almost broken. I couldn't run away. Sooner or later, I would be caught by those monsters."

"If anyone can see this, please come and save me, please come and save me"

"Save me."

This time the narration was quite smooth.

Ye Yunhe looked at the black bloodstains on the leaves. If all these clues come from the same person, then the time of this one is obviously before the brick one.

Just from the clues, this person did not escape from the pursuit of "those monsters". She couldn't help but respect this person for adhering to the usage of "de de de" even in such a situation.

One-sided statements cannot prove anything, so Ye Yunhe took a wait-and-see attitude towards these words.

She picked up the last small piece of paper with a convex and concave cross-section. This time it was written with a black ballpoint pen. The tool was normal, but the person holding the pen was not normal. It is said that handwriting can reveal a person's character. Looking at the crazy and sloppy handwriting on the paper, Ye Yunhe felt that this person must be extremely crazy, otherwise how could even a short sentence seem to be mentally polluted.

"I'm going to go find him."

So who is "he"?

If it is the same person as mentioned in the previous note, then doesn't this note mean that he is seeking death? Is this a tragic love story of two people being forced to be separated by the Yin and Yang?

Ye Yunhe touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Let's rank these three clues. The possible number right now is 213." She tapped the object on her leg with her hard fingertips. "Or is it 321? Hiss, 132 seems to be a possibility as well."

Forget it. The exhaustive method cannot be used under unconditional circumstances. I should go outside and take a look at the situation first.

Ye Yunhe jumped down from the top of the box lightly, and the comfortable government-provided boots landed silently on the ground. Only the footprints in the dust proved that there was a person there.

The door was not locked, so she pushed it open quickly when no one was around, slipped sideways, and turned a few steps to the nearby safety passage. The stairs, which were often cleaned, were not as dusty as the place just now, and the green little man logo embedded in the wall was flashing.

"hiss……"

Ye Yunhe looked around, then stuck his head out to observe the corridor outside, and even went to the window in the corridor to look down, but he was still confused.

After several mirror journeys, she also found the pattern of the spatial content. That is, no matter how it changes, the space that is finally displayed seems to be part of the central city. Perhaps it is because this is the place that impressed her the most, or perhaps it is the setting of the copy itself, but without exception, the space she came to has appeared in her memory.

Although she couldn't claim to know every corner of Central City, she was familiar with some of the iconic buildings and places. After all, I have been here for five years, so I can develop feelings for a place even if I am not familiar with it.

But she really had no impression of the place in front of her.

The layout is somewhat similar to that of a hospital, with a lush green walking garden outside the window and a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.

If you have any impression of it, maybe you will remember it if you go around again. Ye Yunhe avoided people and walked around the area cautiously. It might be lunch time now, so there aren’t many people coming and going. They’re probably all eating out of exhaustion.

Her confusion about where she was was answered when she arrived at the door of the building.

Mental hospital.

Oh, it turns out to be a mental hospital.

Ye Yunhe huddled in the grass, stroking his chin.

At the gate not far away, several medical staff were eating lunch boxes and chatting, and their every move was as lively as human beings. Right above the gate, there are large characters representing the nature of the building, but the paint has fallen off a lot due to its age.

But has she been to a mental hospital? ? ?

Ye Yunhe began to brainstorm, trying to use the memory recovery method to create a cheat for himself.

In a small corner that has never been recalled, it seemed that there was a day when I came here out of pure curiosity to take a look. In the end, after taking a look at the "Mental Hospital" sign that was still 90% new from a distance, I lost interest and left.

"Does this count???"

The plug-in failed to be activated. Ye Yunhe stood up cursing, dodged the medical staff who seemed to be coming here, and ran straight into the hospital.

The good news is that at least the replica is not familiar with this place and probably won’t cause much trouble.

The bad news is that the glass man has evolved to the point where he can act naturally. If you rashly appear in front of them, you will probably be intercepted and locked up in a mental hospital, becoming one of the patients.

Answer: If you can’t beat them, join them.

He randomly knocked out a passing medical staff member and stripped off the not-so-clean nurse's uniform. Ye Yunhe put it on in a few seconds and buttoned it up to cover the uniform underneath. His shoes and pants were not suitable for changing, so he bet that those glass-faced people would not be too strict. On the way, she was accidentally seen by a passing doctor. Before the man could scream in fear, she knocked him out, moved him to an office on the side, and gave him a perfunctory arrangement.

Ye Yunhe, whose disguise was not very strict, walked out of the office and walked openly in the unfamiliar corridor. She looked inside through the glass on the cubicle door and saw that the layout inside was similar to that of the ward. This area seemed to be for high-risk patients. A person in patient gown was tied tightly to the bed with restraints. At this moment, he was sleeping quietly with his eyes closed. The needle hole injected with sedatives was exposed to the air.

The key words mentioned in the clues popped up in her mind at the right time. She frowned and touched the heavy brick in the pocket of her white coat... Don't ask her why she still carries it with her. The answer is that she can hit people with it.

"So those monsters are the medical staff and the police? Then why was he taken to a mental hospital? Was he framed or was it his own fault? What was the cause?"

She thought to herself.

"There are clues like this in three consecutive spaces. I guess this is the main plot that needs to be pieced together for the entire instance. I can just ask for some information here... but I also have to be prepared for these NPCs' human-machine performances. I don't believe that the instance will directly send me to the key clue area."

An NPC came towards him, holding documents, and was stunned when he saw Ye Yunhe.

The two stopped and looked at each other, their expressions became hesitant, as if they were wondering who the other was.

Ye Yunhe's judgment was correct. The way to prevent NPCs from using violence was to join the doctor's camp. Even though her white coat was hung very sloppily on her body, she still received a smile of approval from the medical staff representative.

"Hello, are you new here? You look unfamiliar." The NPC nodded at her with a gentle smile, and turned his eyes to the closed door not far behind him. "By the way, you just came out of Dr. Chen's office, right? Is he still taking a nap now?"

Thinking of the sign hanging on the chest of the NPC passing by, Ye Yunhe also smiled politely.

"No, I came up from the stairs over there." She shrugged helplessly. "But I'm in a bit of trouble now. I don't know when the needle on my badge broke, and I can't find where it fell. Have you seen it?"

Seeing the NPC's pile of documents, she stepped forward and took most of them, smiling at him.

The gentle NPC thanked her somewhat embarrassedly, and covered his lips with his free hand: "Ah, I didn't notice that. Then you should quickly think about where you have been. If you can't find it, go to the logistics department to make up for it."

"That's not a big deal. But you, do you need my help delivering the documents to Dr. Chen?"

Ye Yunhe naturally pulled the NPC over and led them to the office: "Let's go, let's go. It will be bad if Dr. Chen takes a nap during this time."

The medical staff thought what she said made sense.

The office that he had just walked out of was right in front of him again. Ye Yunhe smiled and motioned to the people around him to knock on the door, like a murderer who was coming to the crime scene to review the situation.

…

Of course no one responded.

"What's going on? Is he still asleep..." The NPC pursed his lips, and his hand fell to his side and rubbed Ye Yunhe's skin. The cold skin and flesh jelly made him shudder, "Then let's just put the documents on the table. Fortunately, it's not an urgent matter."

She turned and smiled at Ye Yunhe, then grasped the door handle and opened the door, and the scene in the office came into view of the two of them.

The next second, a scream rang out.
