Upon opening the cover, which read "Guidelines for User Behavior of Sin City Nursing Home," Yin Zhu first saw the first page.
Preface.
"Oh wait, do we really need to dedicate a whole page to a preface for just a few pages? Isn't that a bit too much of a ritual?"
Because the flaws were so numerous, Yin Zhu blurted out instinctively. After flipping back to confirm that the real rules were there, she readjusted her mindset and began to study them.
[Preface]
[By the time you see this rule, you've likely become a member of the Sin City Nursing Home and are diligently taking your pills daily.]
[The Sin City Nursing Home's "Guidelines for User Behavior" were specifically formulated by the director to ensure that the elderly residents of Sin City have a place to rely on in their later years and can spend their twilight years healthily, happily, and joyfully. These guidelines aim to help seniors avoid various dangers encountered at the Sin City Nursing Home.]
As a high-end nursing home, we will provide you with the best quality service.
However, as you get older, your memory may decline, and you may not be able to remember the following rules. Please proceed according to your ability.
This is a perfectly normal explanation.
Because she was reading the booklet as an employee, Yin Zhu felt no connection to it and treated it purely as a storybook.
The live stream camera unusually focused on the booklet, allowing viewers to see the rules for the first time.
[1. You will have your own independent residence and can live a normal life just like you would in the outside world.]
2. If you feel that your physical condition is not enough to support your normal daily life, a professional caregiver will be available to serve you. The caregiver will not do anything to threaten you.
You don't need to investigate the caregiver's origins or whereabouts; they will simply do what they're supposed to do. However, during this time, please be mindful of your mental state to ensure that the caregiver appears as a normal human being to you.
The live stream chattered away.
"I have a bad feeling about this caregiver..."
"I've seen this so-called caregiver in other live streams. She has a mannequin-like smile, her movements are stiff, and she's not even as good-looking as the staff at the temporary apartment. But she certainly won't harm anyone."
"So your focus is on, okay? On how good it looks?"
"If the Mirror Ghost can be divided into N parts, then those identical employees in the temporary apartment must also be a split-off from a ghost. What kind of ruthless capitalist is this? Such a large temporary apartment, all relying on three employees with infinite split personalities?"
"Now there are two, one of them was taken away by Yin Zhu."
"For a moment, I didn't know whether to sympathize with Jing Gui or with the supervisor..."
Yin Zhu continued looking behind her.
3. We will arrange three meals a day for you that are suitable for your physical condition, and try our best to get your body into the best condition before the sacrificial performance.
You can pick up your own food at the community canteen at any time. The ingredients are fresh and of guaranteed sourcing, so you can eat with peace of mind.
4. We do not recommend using food from the refrigerator, as an unhealthy diet may lead to other health problems.
Please dispose of spoiled food in the trash can and leave it at your door within the designated time for cleaning staff to remove. It is best not to leave spoiled food in the apartment for more than 3 days, as this will allow bacteria to proliferate.
"This was also mentioned in the previous note."
"I've noticed that Sister Sun eats things from the refrigerator without any problems, so why can't older people eat them?"
"Actually, the rules don't say you can't eat it, they just emphasize that it's unhealthy. But elderly people are often weak, and it's indeed not safe for them to cook for themselves with a knife."
Has anyone seen the caregiver cook?
"I'll go look through videos from other countries, but I don't remember seeing any. It seems like caregivers can go all day without eating or drinking, just standing next to you with their eyes glued to you. Oh my god, it's so creepy."
"I guess most elderly people would rather not hire a caregiver than have one standing next to them. I'm afraid it would shorten my lifespan if this thing were standing right next to me."
As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, many people began to discuss the old man's set of rules.
5. The pills by your bedside are essential for your health, keeping you clear-headed and preventing you from doing anything foolish.
If you feel dizzy or confused, please stay where you are and do not move around. Our staff will come and help you to a chair to rest for a while to alleviate your symptoms. If you see any strange things such as human-shaped spiders or people on fire during the dizziness, these are hallucinations caused by the dizziness, and please do not be afraid.
6. The nursing home houses hundreds of elderly people, and we believe you will find like-minded friends among them.
7. In the Sin City nursing home, it is dangerous for the elderly to wander off alone. However, be careful when making friends; make sure your friends are not dressed in pure white or pure red, as elderly people dressed in these colors may pose a threat to you.
8. When you feel threatened, you can try using fire to drive away the source of the threat. You will still be safe when staff come to stop you.
The staff can solve most problems for you, but please don't trust them.
"So the elderly face a threat that Yin Zhu cannot see?"
“I have a bold guess: nursing homes exist in both the outer world and the inner world. The older the elderly are, the more likely they are to enter the inner world. That’s why they see strange and dangerous things if they don’t take medication. The pills are the anchor that allows the elderly to return to the outer world.”
"Are you talking about plagiarizing 'Shizuka'?"
"No, that's also about switching worlds using drugs?"
"This rule is so unfair. The staff says that the elderly shouldn't play with fire, but the elderly themselves encourage them to do so."
