An anonymous text message at three in the morning led the three to the abandoned children's hospital. On the mottled wall was written in fluorescent paint: "Rule One: Never let your shadows overlap." Tang Xiao just turned on the flashlight when Qin Feng suddenly pulled him down - two intersecting lasers passed over their heads, leaving a charred Q-shaped symbol on the ground.
"This... this is an infrared warning network!" Qin Feng used the mirror to reflect the observation of the corridor. "It changes the intersection angle every... every thirty seconds."
Su Chen found a yellowed medical record at the consultation desk. On the last page was a mystery written in blood:
＞ "The sun sets in the daytime, and the night hides in the underworld,
＞ Half of the body is in medicine, and the other half is in prison.
> (Guess a chemical element)
While Tang Xiao was scratching his ears and cheeks, Su Chen had already cut open the wall with a scalpel: "It's mercury. The mercury thermometer is broken and glowing in the cracks in the wall." The mercury beads picked up by the blade rolled towards the safe exit, reflecting the array of cameras hidden in the ceiling.

After passing through the mercury trap and entering the pharmacy, a new rule appeared on the mirror wall: "Rule 2: Believe in all reflections, except your face." When Tang 꿦 was fixing her hair in the mirror, Qin Feng discovered that the image in the mirror was delayed by 0.3 seconds: "This... This is real-time surveillance disguised as a mirror!"
Su Chen smashed the mirror, revealing a passage full of knives behind it. Tang Xiao picked up the broken glass and found a new puzzle engraved on the back:
＞ "Four legs stepping on fire, two horns on the top of the head,
＞ The mouth contains yin and yang, and the eyes hide the underworld.
＞ (Hit a mythical object)"
"Isn't this the tomb-guarding beast?" Tang 꿦 suddenly pointed to the medicine cabinet, "Look at the label on the medicine bottle!" The production date on the aspirin bottle formed a hexagram, and Qin Feng decoded it to get the longitude and latitude - pointing to the hospital's underground cold storage.

The iron door of the cold storage room was engraved with the ultimate rule: "Rule Three: No regrets after making a move, death is your own decision." Three hundred body bags were hung like a pendulum, and the ground was a chessboard painted with frost. When Qin Feng stepped onto the "commander" position, a mechanical sound suddenly rang out on the radio:
"Welcome to Q's deadlock, you have three moves:
1. Cannon 2 and 5
2. Horse 8 to 7
3. "Rook nine retreat one"
Just as Tang Xiao was about to move the body bag as a chess piece, Su Chen held him down: "Don't touch it! There is a liquid nitrogen tank in the body bag." He breathed on the frosted chessboard to melt it, revealing the real chess path - it was actually a vascular pulse diagram drawn with anticoagulants.
"This... this is human chess!" Qin Feng used an ultraviolet lamp to illuminate it, and the intersection of blood vessels flashed with fluorescence. "Each... each move corresponds to the blood supply pathway of the organs."
When Su Chen touched the three acupuncture points in the correct order, the body bags suddenly split open. What fell out was not a corpse, but three hundred childhood photos - the names of the protagonists' relatives and friends were written on the back of each photo.
---
When breaking into the cold storage, the entire hospital suddenly lost power. The moment the emergency light came on, a projection appeared on the wall: "The final rule: the truth fears the light." Tang ignited the talisman paper for illumination, and the firelight showed a photo on the wall - it turned out to be a photo of Qin Feng's father and Q members.
"The group photo is a composite photo!" Qin Feng's voice trembled, "but...but the shooting angle is the unique perspective of the police station's archives room."
Su Chen suddenly threw the scalpel towards the vent, and sparks flew from the cut cables. The projector hidden in the pipe fell to the ground, revealing a crystal with a Q symbol engraved on it. When Tang Xiao crushed the crystal, a sneer came from the radio:
"Congratulations on clearing the level. Your reward is—"
Iron gates were lowered at all exits at the same time, "Twenty-four hours of oxygen."
---
After the countdown began, Qin Feng discovered that the preservative contained hydrogen peroxide: "It... will decompose and produce oxygen!" Tang Jin turned over the electrolysis equipment in the operating room, and Su Chen introduced glucose injection into the device. When the first stream of oxygen overflowed, the ventilation pipe suddenly sprayed neurotoxic gas.
"Rule...Rule Four:" the radio was interspersed with electrical noise, "Never trust Q's kindness."
Tang 꿦 used a fire hydrant to disperse the poisonous mist, and the water flow triggered a short circuit and exploded the floor tiles. The three fell into the air-raid shelter, and the date of 20 years ago was written in blood on the wall - it was the day when Qin Feng's father died in the line of duty.
---
### **Chapter 30: The Beginning of Reincarnation**
At the end of the air-raid shelter is a secret room with an unsealed file bag on the table. The wax seal is a combination of Q and the police badge. Internal documents show that Qin Feng's father was actually a founding member of Q, and his death was actually an action to eliminate traitors.
"Welcome... Welcome to know the truth." The old-fashioned cathode ray tube TV suddenly lit up, and the mysterious man wearing an opera mask applauded, "Next, please enjoy--"
The scene cuts to real-time surveillance, where Tang 꿦's fortune-telling stall is surrounded by special police, with a blood-stained Q totem wood carving on the stall.
