In the white hospital lobby, the shiny tiles reflect the reflections of people. Patients and their families come and go, and nurses stand in front of the reception desk to guide them.
Su Yi walked past these people and ran straight to the elevator entrance.
Click, he just pressed the "down" key, and suddenly heard:
"Su Yi, Su Yi!"
A sudden Chinese voice rang out in the hall.
...Bai Ye followed? Came to find him?!
Some foreigners at the scene looked up and saw a tall Asian youth running in hurriedly. Su Yi didn't dare to look back. He lowered his head and wished he could shrink into the crack in the ground.
Now the countdown only has 9 minutes and 58 seconds left. He has no time to talk to Bai Ye anymore. He must first go to the underground F1 floor indicated by the Morse code.
The elevator has gone down to the 2nd floor and will soon reach his current G floor.
Bai Ye's voice was getting closer and closer. The nurse at the reception desk walked over to stop him and asked in English:
"Need? Any help?"
At this moment, the elevator showed that it had reached the G floor and the door opened.
Su Yi took advantage of this opportunity to get in quickly, pressing F1 with one hand and quickly pressing the door closing button with the other hand.
"Have you seen a ..."
Bai Ye was about to describe Su Yi's clothes to the nurse, when suddenly he saw the elevator door open.
Hiding in the door is a petite figure.
"etc!"
Bai Ye left the nurse with a puzzled look on her face and rushed over. The elevator door slowly closed in front of him...
Bang!
Bai Ye immediately pressed the elevator button, but the door was already closed, and the elevator carried Su Yi down.
...wait, what next?
Bai Ye frowned and rushed over. He reflexively pressed the [Up] elevator button when he came here. When going to the hospital for treatment, one must go upstairs, as there are various outpatient clinics upstairs.
But the elevator Su Yi took was going downwards, and now it stopped at the basement floor.
Something seemed a little wrong. Bai Ye turned around and went to the lobby to find the hospital's guide map, which introduced the departments on each floor.
The 2nd floor is for the hepatobiliary department and the cardiac surgery department, the G floor is the consultation hall, and the -1 floor is...
Morgue.
Bai Ye laughed in his heart. How could it be possible? Would someone go to the morgue to find a doctor? To see a doctor?
...Su Yi was lying to him!
This pretty baby was really good at lying. Bai Ye narrowed his eyes dangerously. The feeling of being cheated was very unpleasant. He immediately turned around and chased after her down the stairs!
The light on the F1 elevator button is off?
bite--
The elevator door is slowly opening.
Su Yi walked out quietly, and the sensor light came on, casting a pale light on the tiles.
It was very quiet here, and he looked around but didn't see anyone.
There are usually surveillance cameras in hospital corridors. Su Yi looked up and looked for the surveillance video, trying to avoid it.
But the ceiling was blank, there was nothing.
Under his feet, the snow-white tiles reflected his own reflection.
Su Yi took two steps. This place was not big, and there was no long corridor like the clinic upstairs. There was a safety door on the right, which was probably the stairwell for the escape route.
There is an iron door on the left, and the morgue should be inside.
There was a combination lock on the cold iron door. Su Yi put his hands in his sleeves to avoid leaving fingerprints.
As soon as he touched the password pad, the small electronic screen displayed:
[Please enter password]
Su Yi counted the space after the number, and there were six digits.
Six-digit password...
He paused for a moment, and immediately thought of Grace's box in the bride copy!
Mr. Bai left her this box in his will, but Grace couldn't open it. The murderer used a code to lead her to the wedding oath stand, and finally dragged her into the secret passage.
After Grace's death, Su Yi searched for evidence at the wedding. He once climbed into the swearing-in platform and touched a floor tile with six digits engraved on it:
725380
Drip, drip, drip
Su Yi entered the six digits doubtfully...
Snap!
The door is open?
Is it really opened like this?
At this moment Su Yi finally confirmed that the Bride copy was indeed very special. Every inadvertent detail was a hint. Only players who had played it seriously could appreciate the secrets.
He opened a Pandora's box. Su Yi took a deep breath and gently opened the door...
Through the iron gate was a corridor with bright white lights like snow. There was only one room on the corridor, the morgue, with a registration book hanging outside the door.
Su Yi closed the door and was about to go over to take a look...
Sudden!
A finger stretched out from the crack of the door!
A large hand was stuck between the door and the gap, preventing it from closing.
Su Yi was startled. The hand was very powerful, with veins on the back of the hand showing. He grabbed the heavy iron door and pushed it open directly.
"Hi."
Bai Ye poked his head in from outside the door. He deliberately showed his white teeth and smiled at Su Yi freely.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yi frowned and complained in a low voice to Bai Ye for following him.
However, he felt relieved when he saw it was Bai Ye. This is the real world and the life-saving system is gone. If there are bad guys following him, he will probably be in real trouble.
"What am I doing?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, and with his tall figure, he pushed Su Yi into a corner without any hesitation, and questioned him in an imposing manner:
"Why did you lie to me?"
"I..." Su Yi was cornered, speechless. His thin back was pressed against the tile wall, so cold!
This Bai Ye was really aggressive. Su Yi lowered his head and said in a low but clear voice:
"What's wrong with me lying to you?"
"…you!"
Bai Ye was choked and couldn't believe it: "What did you say?
Su Yi still didn't look up, and complained softly: "I'm not very familiar with you..."
! !
Bai Ye was very angry?
Yes, he and Su Yi were just high school classmates who had little interaction with each other. Their so-called love was just a joke in the King's Game. The total number of words they had spoken to each other was less than twenty.
With such a casual acquaintance as just ordinary classmates, it was normal for Su Yi to find an excuse to fool him. But he was being so petty here, which was really nosy.
Bai Ye was so angry that he wanted to turn around and leave on the spot, but...
Tiny Su Yi was huddled in his arms, her head resting against his chest. His pretty face could not be seen, but only two curled eyelashes, a straight nose, and a snow-white neck exposed from his collar, as graceful as a swan.
Bai Ye was recalling in his heart the sound of Su Yi's voice when she spoke to him. It was so soft, timid and gentle. The words were clearly irritating, but when they fell into his ears, they sounded sweet and coquettish, making him feel both furious and itchy at the same time.
"bite--"
When they heard the elevator door opening, Su Yi and Bai Ye became alert at the same time: Someone is coming down?!
Bai Ye took Su Yi's hand and hurriedly looked for a place to hide. There was no choice here, and it seemed that the only place left was the morgue. He was about to open the door when his sleeve suddenly tightened.
Su Yi tugged at his sleeve and pointed to the sign above the corridor: Bathroom.
The people coming down now are most likely medical personnel. There is only a morgue on this floor, and they are probably here to deliver corpses. If the two of them hide in the morgue, they will probably be caught.
Bai Ye quickly took Su Yi to the end of the corridor.
When passing by the door of the morgue, Su Yi had sharp eyes. He glanced at the registration book hanging next to the door and immediately wrote down the information on it.
There are three rows and three columns in the registration book, written by medical staff:
The first column is the serial number 123, the second column is the time, and the last column is letters and numbers, starting with either F or M.
Su Yi guessed that it might be the gender, Female, Male, or the number of the corpse.
By this count, the morgue has received three bodies today.
The bathroom is not big, there is no distinction between men and women, the light on the ceiling seems to be broken and it won't light up, and it's a bit dark around.
Bai Ye asked Su Yi to hide inside first while he stayed here to investigate the situation. However, Su Yi refused and insisted on going in together.
Beep, beep, click—
Su Yi heard the sound of the password iron door opening, followed by the sound of rollers sliding.
Two medical workers pushed a stretcher in, with a bulging white cloth covering a corpse.
He and Bai Ye squatted by the bathroom wall and secretly looked toward the corridor:
The stretcher was pushed over, a medical staff member opened the door of the morgue, picked up a pen and wrote in the register, and another person pushed the body in.
Now is the fourth body?
fourth……
Suddenly, an idea came to me!
Su Yi thought of the sentence in the Bride copy: [A small and dark room, a wide and large mirror, put the fourth body, you are only one pair of hands away from the truth]
The bathroom usually has a mirror.
Su Yi turned his head and saw that there was indeed a mirror behind him, next to the sink.
And what a coincidence, it’s a life-size mirror?!
The light in the bathroom was not on at that moment, and the mirror reflected a faint light in the small space and dim light.
It's like welcoming people to take a photo in front of it.
Su Yi felt a chill rushing into his heart.
The address mentioned in Morse code may not refer to the morgue, but to... here.
All the conditions were met, the fourth body was placed, and the only thing left was:
[You are only one pair of hands away from the truth]
Su Yi stood up, his heart pounding, beating faster and faster, as heavy as a drum.
Could it be that there is something in this mirror?
He asked Bai Ye to stay where he was and observe the two medical staff while he went in for a while. Bai Ye thought that he was finally willing to hide in obediently, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The further he walked into the bathroom, the darker the light became. Taking one step, two steps, Su Yi walked to the mirror, and his figure was reflected faintly on the polished surface.
Raising both hands with open palms, Su Yi stretched out his ten fingers, gently and timidly, like the antennae of a butterfly, and approached the mirror little by little.
Finally, the fingertips touched the mirror like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Icy, cool...
It seems to be nothing like an ordinary mirror.
But the next second, Su Yi suddenly saw a scene that would terrify him for the rest of his life:
The moment the solid mirror was touched, it began to flow like mercury, with the fingertips as the center of the circle, and ripples spread out layer by layer. Every time it spread, a layer was turned up...
Dense data stream!
Green, blue, ant-sized data crawled all over the objects, on the mirrors, on the tiles...
Su Yi lowered his head and looked at his chest. What was contained there was not a heart, but countless binary symbols of 010101. He turned his head and looked at Bai Ye who was squatting in the corner.
Flowing in that lively, tall body were strings of 010101, just like his...
Here, there, everything... all are data. Under the ripples, the original physical appearance is stripped away, revealing a cruel truth:
The real world he has been living in is all fake!
Su Yi felt colder than ever before.
My scalp is numb and my brain feels like it's going to explode.
He thought his memory might be fabricated, but it turns out...
The whole world in memory is fabricated!
Su Yi seemed to be awakened by a stick. Now, he finally realized that [Horror Script Killing] has never been a single-layer structure, but a two-layer world.
The first layer is the [Virtual Reality World], and the second layer is the [Thriller Script Killing] that everyone knows.
The system drags real people from reality and places them into the first layer of the [virtual reality world] for training, cleansing and modifying their memories until they believe that they are indeed people living in the [virtual reality world].
Then? Start to drag them into the [Thriller Script Killing].
At this time people will realize that they have entered a strange world. Most people want to escape, but will eventually succumb to the system under high pressure.
——Follow the rules carefully, earn more gold coins, and realize your wishes as soon as possible.
But most people cannot actually realize their wishes at all, because they lack the ability and even if they follow the rules, they cannot even earn enough gold coins to survive. The so-called wish has long become just being able to survive.
As for those who can save a lot of gold coins, they are all high-level players. Some of these people have the ability and opportunity to become rebels.
For these people, the system's initial promise came into play: the horror script-killing game can fulfill any human wish.
No matter how exaggerated the wish is, the system can help it come true, allowing those who have outstanding abilities and are unwilling to be trapped to return to the [virtual reality world] peacefully and live a good life.
Anyway, they are all strings of data, and it only takes a little effort to modify them in the background.
Oh.
Su Yi smiled silently at the mirror that reflected the truth.
What about gold coins, levels, rankings, popularity, the audience's denigration, quarrels, revelry, praise...
Everything seemed so ridiculous. No matter what level the players were, they were all ants locked up by the system.
"Su Yi, Su Yi? They left..."
There was a voice calling him from behind, but Su Yi said nothing.
Bai Ye didn't sound anything unusual, as if he was completely unaware of these strange data waves.
The mirror in front of me was shaking like waves.
Su Yi looked at it and stared at it, and finally made up his mind.
His fingertips continued to extend downward toward the mirror...
Su Yi felt as if his hand was inserted into the soft water surface. Could the real world be behind the mirror?
What happened in the real world? What is the relationship between the real him and the real Bai Ye?
Is he really dead in the real world?
