"Does that mean there's a difference between daytime and nighttime here?"
Su Deng believed Su Muye wasn't lying to her, and murmured, "Two spaces?"
But that's not right either.
Because this building remains unchanged day and night.
Su Deng took out her old work ID and put it on, then found another one in the office and tossed it to Su Muye.
She continued to thrash around.
There were only three medicine bottles on the shelf.
Red, blue, and white.
There was no detailed information or description on the medicine bottle.
Half an hour later.
Su Deng slumped into a chair, exhausted. Her mouth was dry and she was starving, but there was no water or food available.
I searched for ages but couldn't find anything useful.
She read through Yan Sizhan's medical record again, word by word, but found nothing particularly noteworthy.
Su Deng closed her eyes, blocking out all the jumbled thoughts in her mind, and began to sort out all the clues again.
The daytime rules apply during the day.
The nighttime rules apply to the night.
Regardless of whether it's in the same space or not, it's definitely useful.
Let's ignore the daytime for now.
There is clear information regarding tonight's event.
There are two buttons behind the door; the red one needs to be pressed every two hours.
The blue icon can only be pressed at 6 AM, which should be the time after get off work.
Regardless of whether it's other buildings or this building, all the rules mention work badges, so these work badges must serve a certain protective or identification function here.
The important points are definitely among these.
There are no meters inside, only a computer, which doesn't seem to be very useful.
There's no way to tell the time.
Su Deng pinched the bridge of her nose, thought for a long time, and then a flash of inspiration struck her. She called out to the system and opened the control panel.
The countdown has 22 hours, 18 minutes and 27 seconds left.
It takes a total of 72 hours, or three days.
24 hours a day.
There are 23 hours left today, which means it's past midnight.
It's about 1:42 AM now.
Starting at 10:00, press the button once every two hours.
Although they hadn't heard any sounds before, they deduced from the pattern that they could press the button a third time at 2 a.m.
18 minutes remaining.
While waiting, Su Deng took out several documents from her desk drawer, opened them, and frowned more and more as she looked at them.
This document contains information on all patients in the intensive care unit.
One night, a patient in Ward 1 suddenly appeared at the hospital, acting insane. After testing, the patient was placed in the intensive care unit due to deep delusions.
The patient in Ward 2 was the twenty-eighth mental patient sent from Jinshan City. He claimed to be able to see another world and was diagnosed with deep delusional disorder.
Number 3, Number 4, Number 5...
The patient in ward 16 failed to escape, suffered a mental breakdown, and is now trapped there.
The patient in ward 17 is not human, but does not belong to this world.
The patient in ward 18 is a man with a face so handsome he looks like a god. When he is still, he is like a statue, but he can unleash a huge, destructive energy attack.
This patient's origins are unknown. After investigation, he is neither human nor monster and is extremely dangerous. However, the source of the entire mental hospital and even Jinshan seems to come from him.
Looking at it from beginning to end, it's more like a diary-style record and a summary of 18 patients in the intensive care unit.
Each one is peculiar.
Han Zhi and Cui Qu were just affected and killed each other, so their former companions might also be the cause.
Although it comes in waves, the effects become more and more severe over time, and even normal people can turn into insane mental patients.
The person who failed to escape in this report is not from this world...
Su Deng's mind raced, and suddenly a huge idea popped into her head.
Could the patients in this mental hospital be those who failed to escape before, or perhaps they were influenced and became genuinely mentally ill, then trapped here forever, becoming NPCs in this game...?
If this idea were true, it would be terrifying!
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Su Deng closed the document.
One minute left.
Su Deng got up and went behind the door. She placed her hand on the red button behind the door and pressed it without hesitation when the countdown reached exactly 22 hours.
There was no sound, and nothing seemed to have changed in the surroundings.
Su Muye peered out from the doorway, but nothing had changed.
Su Deng put on her work badge, left the office under the dim light, and returned to ward 18. As she passed through the corridor, she made a point of looking at the rules again, but there were no changes.
“Mom…” Su Muyue suddenly pointed straight ahead, tugged at her clothes, and her voice was a little shaky.
The ward, which had been reduced to ruins by Yan Sizhan's attack, was now completely intact, with even the corridor railings and grid intact.
At this moment, Su Deng was no longer shocked. After remaining silent for a while, she walked to the door of ward number 18 and pushed the door open to go inside.
As expected.
Everything inside has been restored to its original state.
Medical equipment, a table, even the medical records on the wall, and the white curtain that divides the ward in two.
Pull it open, and you'll see railings standing inside, with Yan Sizhan standing there.
Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
It was like a dream, eerily unsettling.
Han Zhi and Cui Qu were nowhere to be seen.
Is it the power of that button?
Su Deng gripped the dagger tightly, held her breath, and cautiously approached Yan Sizhan.
But before he could get close, Yan Sizhan suddenly opened his eyes and moved, looking down at him like he was an ant, "You want to kill me?"
