137 Massacre 3 || True Use
Without Jingning, Yan Shuang could only open the door violently. Fortunately, the lock was not strong and it opened after two hard kicks.
The archive room is not very big, and the entrance is filled with cardboard boxes, chairs and other miscellaneous items. It is too dark inside to see clearly.
Yan Shuang walked in and her face was covered with spider webs.
Then he took out a flashlight. The old-fashioned flashlight emitted a dim light, which created circles of light when it shone on the wall.
These cartons were mostly filled with common medical supplies, carelessly discarded after use. Inside were also a miscellaneous assortment of office supplies. Yan Shuang searched through them for a while but found nothing useful. The archives room looked more like a storage room than anything else.
He then opened a corner drawer and found several sheets of incomprehensible data in the innermost compartment. The papers were well-preserved and looked like they had been secretly hidden by someone, otherwise they would not have been placed in such a secret place.
He folded it and put it in his pocket, deciding to take it home and study it slowly.
No information about the sanatorium was found in the archives, nor was there any information about the patients there, as if it had been deliberately destroyed.
Yan Shuang found a pair of pliers from inside, picked them up, turned off the flashlight, then left the room and decided to try her luck in the dean's office.
He walked upstairs slowly, putting his hands in his pockets and holding the papers he had just put in. Ordinary paper will turn yellow within a few years under light, and its strength will decrease as it is stored for a longer time. If the edges become brittle, it may mean that it has been stored for more than 10 to 20 years.
These pieces of paper are obviously new and still tough. They have not been opened for more than four years. This also shows that there was someone in the nursing home between four years ago and yesterday who secretly hid these pieces of data in the drawer.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the seventh floor. Yan Shuang stopped at the corner of the stairs. In front of her was the dean's office.
The dean's office was much more luxurious than the one downstairs. You could tell from the door that it cost a lot of money. The pliers in his hand came in handy, otherwise it would take ages to open it.
Although pliers were more useful than legs, Yan Shuang still had to work very hard to break the lock.
The first impression upon entering the room is that it is clean and bright. Banners and trophies of various sizes are hung on the walls. An oversized desk occupies one-third of the room, and a set of leather sofas is placed opposite it.
Yan Shuang was not in the mood to appreciate them. Instead, she walked under the entire wall of awards, looking for the most recent date.
There has been an award every year from 1990 to 2023. The most recent award was on September 3, 2023, which is about the same as the time I guessed.
In addition, there was a flyer in the office that was exactly the same as the game cover they saw before entering the game.
What does this mean? Why does this appear in the game? Does it mean that the dean is the protagonist of this game?
Even Yan Shuang herself hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, but the question now was, how could she find the dean who had suddenly disappeared? As time passed, Yan Shuang's frown deepened.
What made it even more difficult was that during this delay, the sky outside had gradually darkened. The daytime here seemed to pass by very quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, night had quietly fallen.
He returned to the room he had been in yesterday and lay on the bed. He read the sheets of data in the archives over and over again dozens of times. The content on them seemed like a set of procedures, involving a blind spot in knowledge. He still didn't understand even if he saw through the paper.
Yan Shuang turned off the lights. The quiet room would make one's thoughts gradually clearer. The main line of the game must be related to the dean. Since this so-called dean has not appeared, it must be that the method of searching is wrong and he has not touched the key clues.
What key clues are there in an empty building?
Yan Shuang closed his eyes and thought intently. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He wasn't completely clueless. He had been given three items when he entered the game. The flashlight was only used in what situations? Of course, it was in complete darkness.
Then he immediately got out of bed and turned on the flashlight on the bedside. The moment the light illuminated the room, many fluorescent footprints began to appear on the ground, appearing faintly in every corner of the room.
Yan Shuang widened her eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He realized that his previous methods had not been used correctly, which was why he had not been able to find the existence of these footprints. Now that he had made a new discovery, he could not miss this opportunity.
Yan Shuang quickly picked up the camera and activated the camera function. He carefully adjusted the angle of the lens, ensuring that he could capture every detail of the room. As the lens moved, the room's scenery gradually appeared on the screen, and the fluorescent footprints became increasingly clear.
Yan Shuang slowly walked towards the door, and the moment she opened the door, she blurted out "Fuck!", and her hand shook so much that the camera almost flew out.
The flashlight was still on, and he could see nothing in front of the door with his naked eyes. He used his other hand to wipe the sweat off his hand and remained calm.
Without any mental preparation, he saw through the camera a pale, expressionless man standing in front of the door, his empty eyes looking at him through the lens.
Just as Yan Shuang was about to raise his camera again, his cell phone rang. Before he could do anything, the call was automatically connected. Then a voice that was not human rang out: "I... am coming in..."
Yan Shuang immediately raised the camera and looked towards the door, and sure enough, the thing that had just been at the door had disappeared.
He didn't have time to think about it, and ran out the door while holding the camera. After he ran out of the room, he looked inside the house through the camera. The ghost was standing in the same place where he had just been, giving him a weird smile and coming towards him.
Yan Shuang did not stop and continued to run forward, with the ghost behind him chasing him relentlessly.
"Fuck!" Yan Shuang cursed inwardly, cursing in her heart that this ghost was sticking to her like a dog-skin plaster.
He didn't dare to pause for a moment, quickened his pace, and continued to run forward desperately.
However, the ghost behind him was following him like a shadow, and its speed was getting faster and faster. Yan Shuang became more and more anxious. He knew that if this continued, he would be caught up by the ghost sooner or later.
In order to avoid being suddenly attacked by other ghosts, Yan Shuang had to observe the surrounding situation through the viewfinder in his hand from time to time. Although this action allowed him to detect abnormalities in the surroundings in time, it also caused his speed to slow down significantly.
What’s even more terrifying is that the battery of the camera is rapidly decreasing. At this rate, it’s not certain whether this amount of power can last through tonight.
In this game, the role of the camera is even more important than the eyes. Without a camera, you will definitely die.
