Close the ring
"It would be nice to have a cell phone at this time." Tan Wan'er looked down the mountain, feeling relaxed for once.
Their cell phones were taken away when they arrived on the island, so they were allowed very few opportunities to contact the outside world, and of course they were not allowed to take photos or record anything.
When walking in the rainforest, it felt dark and damp, but from my current perspective, I could see the treetops filled with golden light, shining softly.
The long-term physical and mental stress disappeared, at least for a moment.
Breathing the warm, dry air, Zhang Qing's desire to leave grew stronger: "I want to return to the normal world."
What we see before us is just a layer of sugar coating, and we must eradicate it completely to change the status quo.
The process of going down the mountain was relatively smooth. I didn’t see any monkeys or color-changing insects, and no other wild animals blocked the way. It was a rare leisurely time.
"Is there anything I can help you with? What are you going to do?" Zhang Qing was already a little impatient and asked beside them.
Although he had experienced many times of having hopes but being disappointed, he began to feel that the two people in front of him should bring a different situation, different from the other newcomers he had met.
Ding Can thought about the room he woke up in the morning and asked, "Which floor do you all live on?"
The morning exercise bell rang, and the broadcast was urging us to go, so we were in a hurry when we got downstairs and didn't have time to go and see what was inside.
There are no rooms for patients on the first floor of the castle, and people only start living on the second floor.
The stairs leading to the second floor are all access controlled, and only patients who have completed the circle task for the day can pass through and return to their rooms.
As for today's circle mission, starting from getting up in the morning, because they have to stand for 16 hours, they can't return to the room until nine o'clock.
The remaining time is just right for learning some things.
Ding Can and Zhang Qing lived on the fifth floor, Tan Wan'er lived on the third floor, and Yu Fu lived on the second floor. Maybe they had met in the corridor, but they didn't pay much attention to each other at that time.
"Have you ever tried to go back halfway?"
Zhang Qing: "The stairs are watched, and you can't get in during the day... Are you planning to go through the outer wall?"
Ding Can nodded: "I looked outside out of curiosity this morning, and I didn't close the window when I left."
Thanks to the fact that the doctors here did not often appear in the patients' sight, they walked to the side wall of the castle blatantly, and no one stopped them along the way.
"It's not easy to climb." Ding Can tilted his neck and looked up.
Although there are windows on the side walls, there are no windowsills. In addition, the outside has been covered with a layer of slippery moss due to long-term erosion by the humid sea breeze, making it almost impossible to climb up with bare hands.
Tan Wan'er crossed her arms and said, "Speaking of which, the rule that you can only go up after completing the mission is indeed a bit unreasonable."
If you are worried that patients will go to sleep there during the day...but everyone can find a place to rest and they don't have to go back to bed. What's more, the facilities in the room are very simple and the quality of life is almost not good.
In addition, every time you want to complete the ring mission, it actually takes at least half a day.
This means that for more than half of the day, the upper floors of the castle are empty.
Zhang Qing thought divergently: "You mean, every day when we are doing tasks outside, someone will actually enter our room, but what do they go in for, and it is impossible for no one to notice?"
He still felt strange. If there was any real trick going on, the people living here were so big that even if they were slow, they would eventually reveal themselves.
There are many lush ivy plants growing scattered on the wall, and their roots are firmly dug into the cracks in the wall, requiring a lot of force to separate them.
Several people came to the outer wall of the first floor below Ding Can's room. The floor height here was not too high, so they could try to look through the window to see the condition of the second floor without preparing any tools first.
After moving a large rock over, Zhang Qing volunteered to lift up Ding Can, who was lighter.
Ding Can put his feet on his shoulders and straightened his body by supporting himself against the outer wall. The height was just enough to see the scene inside the room clearly.
The interior of this room on the second floor is exactly the same as my own. It seems that the structure of the rooms in the castle is exactly the same.
She shifted her gaze and saw the door was open.
The possibility that the homeowner forgot to close the door cannot be ruled out. After all, patients here have almost no privacy, and there are no important items in the room. Even if the door is open for a long time, there is no need to worry about the risk of theft.
As she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of a piece of white clothes rising at the door, and someone was about to walk in.
Fortunately, the sun was setting in the west, casting a small shadow by the window, just enough for me to hide.
In addition, the view outside was even more dazzling when viewed from inside the house, so the visitor did not notice him. However, she had no place to support her body, so she could only hold on tightly to a small crack in the wall under the window frame, using so much force that her fingers were bent at an angle.
The man in white clothes was indeed a doctor, not the ones I had seen in the morning. He had a spray in his hand. After he came in, he sprayed everything in the room and then left immediately.
Is he spraying some kind of disinfectant spray? But it doesn't look like it. After all, this person is fully armed, and the mask on his face is not an ordinary mask, but something like a gas mask.
It doesn't look like it's just for disinfection and sterilization.
Ding Can recalled that when he woke up in the room in the morning, he did not smell any suspicious smell in the room.
The person just now sprayed mainly on the bedding, and only sprayed other places in the room in passing.
She guessed that this might be something that affected sleep, but it was possible. After all, under normal circumstances, patients did stay in bed longer when they returned to their rooms.
After the doctor finally left, she loosened her stiff fingers and tried to put them on the window to relieve some of the force. The window frame creaked with a dull sound.
What a coincidence, there was actually an unexpected surprise. I guess the owner of this room just didn't close the window tightly.
Considering that Yu Fu was still injured, it would be best not to exercise any further and aggravate the wound, so he and Tan Wan'er stayed below to keep watch.
Ding Can first opened the window, climbed into the room through the window frame, and then slowly pulled Zhang Qing up with the bed sheet.
Zhang Qing stepped over the window with one foot and slowly moved inside. However, he got stuck because his body was too thick. He waved his hand and whispered softly, fearing that he would be discovered: "Help me."
He still had to breathe hard to get in, and then he closed the window stealthily.
Now in the room, he still couldn't smell anything, but Ding Can quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
No wonder they had never been discovered before. Even after spraying, there was no faint special smell when they came in.
Zhang Qing also held his breath when he saw this, because he had spent some energy just now when he came in, and now his face was a little red.
Ding Can walked to the door, bent down, and listened to the sounds outside through the crack. Fortunately, the airtightness and sound insulation here were not very good, so he could hear the sound of the door opening and footsteps in the corridor getting farther and farther away.
The doctor was spraying the same spray in every room. After waiting for a while, the footsteps finally disappeared, probably to another floor.
Ding Can slowly opened the door and looked carefully. The corridor was empty and there was indeed no one outside.
The two walked along the wall and went along the stairs to the corner of the third floor. The man they had just met opened the doors of each room one by one, and then repeated the previous action.
Zhang Qing was still holding his nose, his voice muffled: "What is this? A sleeping pill? I don't think we can actually use this."
You don’t even get enough rest, so why do you need to increase the dose at night?
"I think it should be some kind of medicine that ensures that they won't wake up at night." Although patients do cherish their rest time, the human body functions differently, and waking up at night is common.
Combined with what Tan Wan'er said before, it is estimated that this medicine is not so effective at times, which is why she woke up one night and saw someone who seemed to be transporting wild animals outside the castle.
Ding Can further confirmed his guess that not only were physical tests and trials conducted on humans during the day, but unknown experiments were also carried out at night.
The content and purpose of those experiments are the secrets hidden in Xiushen Island.
She made up her mind: "I'll come out and take a look tonight."
"Then I will too..." Zhang Qing took his hand away and was about to speak.
"Not yet." The situation was still unclear, and Ding Can didn't intend to drag them into it. "Once we're sure it's safe, we'll plan our next move."
There was no need to look any further, so the two returned to the room, put the sheets back in place, then went back outside the castle and told them what they had seen.
Tan Wan'er recalled that night: "When I got home, I felt a little stuffy, so I opened the window. It was quite windy that day, and I didn't sleep in bed."
She has back pain, which often recurs. Sleeping on a hard bed helps.
Too lazy to move the heavy mattress, she just slept on the floor. She probably slept closer to the window than the bed, which avoided direct inhalation. Plus, there was air circulation, so she didn't get infected for a while.
"No wonder. It seems I can't sleep too deeply at night in the future." Zhang Qing decided that the first thing he would do after returning to his room at night was to ventilate the room.
Otherwise, if someone comes into the room and does something to it, you won’t even know it.
Ding Can just looked down at his bracelet, which monitored his heart rate in real time. When a person is asleep, his heart rate is relatively low. If he stays awake for too long at night, the possibility of being discovered is very high.
After turning it several times, I still couldn't find a way to remove it.
"Won't this bracelet run out of battery?" She didn't see any indication of battery capacity.
"I guess it's solar charging or power generation. Anyway, we've been here for so long, and this thing has been running normally."
I believe that every patient who has just come to Xiushen Island will spend a lot of time studying this bracelet, but it is just a waste of effort and they cannot grasp the key points.
In order to collect data from each patient's bracelet, it must be connected with some unique signal. If the signal can be shielded, then if it is disassembled violently, the bracelet's own defense mechanism will not be activated.
The biggest threat has been eliminated, and many people, without any concerns, can respond.
Ding Can's desire to explore the castle at night became stronger.
