This is a good question, and it immediately stumped Yu Xiao and Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan hesitated and said, "According to current speculation... it is possible. It is possible that the next time we open the door, we will see ourselves in a few minutes."
Zhou Xiaozhen stared with a pair of eyes full of curiosity, "Why a few minutes later, and not a few minutes ago?"
"..." Yu Xiao: "Because no one has suddenly opened our door until now."
"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen said again: "We can open the door and find others, so can others also open the door and find us?"
"Indeed they can." Yu Xiao wanted to let Zhou Xiaozhen know that this was actually a very small probability event, because they might leave this copy tomorrow. Theoretically, the shorter the time they exist in the copy, the smaller the probability of being discovered. "But..."
"Click."
As they were talking, the door suddenly opened.
The three turned around in shock and saw two people standing at the door who were equally shocked. One was a short-haired girl in her twenties, and the other was a woman who looked a little old.
The two stood at the door, looking at the three women who were eating in shock.
Yu Xiao and the other two were shocked for a while, then looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. Zhou Xiaozhen's eyes clearly asked, are they human or ghosts?
"You..." the short-haired young woman said, "Are you also patients?"
"Of course." Zhao Lan said.
The short-haired woman looked at them again in doubt, "You... are you together?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen said.
"You actually chose to enter the same door?" The short-haired woman couldn't accept it. "Didn't you hear what Shi Guang said?"
"I heard it." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "But if we do whatever he said, we will lose face."
"..."
Everyone, including Yu Xiao and Zhao Lan, was silent.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a moment, and the short-haired woman looked at Zhou Xiaozhen with a very complicated look. After a while, her stomach suddenly growled, and the two of them looked at the food on the table at the same time.
Zhao Lan hesitated for a moment, and used her eyes to ask the two sisters for consent, then she picked up the big bowl of fried noodles and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat fried noodles?"
The short-haired woman was very hungry, and she didn't hesitate to pull the old woman in.
"Wait." Yu Xiao stopped them.
The two of them stared at Yu Xiao at the same time. Yu Xiao asked, "Is this the first space you came to after entering the door?"
"No." The short-haired woman obviously didn't understand what she meant. She said, "This is the number of spaces I can't count."
In that case, it didn't matter whether they came in or not.
Zhao Lan asked the two of them to sit down. She took a pair of chopsticks she had used to eat tomato beef and said, "We don't have clean chopsticks."
The short-haired woman said it didn't matter, then she held the bowl of noodles in one hand and the chopsticks in the other and ate voraciously.
That bowl of fried noodles was for three people. Yu Xiao and the other two looked at her blankly as she quickly finished half a bowl. Zhao Lan finally couldn't help it and pointed at the old woman sitting still and said, "Aren't you going to share some with your friend?"
Hearing this, the short-haired woman who was eating hard raised her head, her mouth and cheeks were stained with sauce, and she showed a very weird smile, "She doesn't need to eat."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to eat noodles.
Yu Xiao and the other two watched her finish a large bowl of fried noodles by herself. After eating, she seemed to be full at last, put down the bowl and chopsticks and burped. After wiping her mouth, she said to the three people, "Thank you for the meal."
Zhou Xiaozhen wiped her sweat and asked, "Are you full?"
Yu Xiao had been observing the old woman, her clothes were shabby, her expression was dull, and she had no desire for food. Instead, her eyes kept wandering around Yu Xiao and the other two.
As if she noticed that Yu Xiao had been staring at her, her dull eyes turned around and stared at Yu Xiao blankly. Yu
Xiao saw her swallowing her saliva, and she asked the short-haired woman, "My name is Yu Xiao, what's your name?"
"My name is Ye Tao." The short-haired Ye Tao noticed that Yu Xiao had been staring at the old woman, and subconsciously blocked her line of sight.
"They are both my friends in the same ward. Her name is Xiaozhen and her name is Zhao Lan." Yu Xiao looked at the old woman again, "Would you like to introduce your friends?"
Ye Tao hesitated and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Her name is Zhang Qiqi."
"She is also in your ward?" Zhou Xiaozhen was very surprised. Isn't it said that everyone who enters the hospital must be under 35 years old? Or is it said that Zhang Qiqi has been in the hospital for many years? Then why is Ye Tao still so young?
"Zhang Qiqi..." Yu Xiao said hesitantly, "Have you eaten people?"
Ye Tao suddenly raised his head and stared at Yu Xiao.
Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen were both startled, but Yu Xiaosi was not frightened by that look. She looked at Ye Tao fearlessly, "She has been trapped here for many years, right?"
Ye Tao stared at Yu Xiao for a while, then bent her back, looking very decadent, "It seems that you have also discovered the horror of this copy."
Zhou Xiaozhen silently put down her chopsticks and put one hand in her pocket so that she could take out the talisman at any time.
Ye Tao turned her head and glanced at Zhang Qiqi, with a look of pain in her eyes. She said, "We entered the dungeon three days ago. Because of the doctor's time, we chose to act separately. I chose door number seven and Qiqi chose door number three. But after entering the door, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find a way out... Until last night, I opened a door..."
Speaking of this, Ye Tao took a few deep breaths, as if she was recalling something terrible, "...It was a shabby room, I know that here, some spaces have corpses, and some spaces have ghosts. At that time, I found a figure with his back to me, gnawing on the corpse on the ground, and I subconsciously wanted to close the door, but... she called my name. "
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Ye Tao's eyes, and she gasped for breath, "I only entered the copy for two and a half days, and we were the same when we separated. Qiqi is one year younger than me. It's only two and a half days, why did she become like this? Why? Do you know why?"
"Didn't she tell you what happened?" Zhou Xiaozhen asked.
"She...can hardly communicate anymore." Ye Tao gradually regained her composure. "She still calls my name and listens to me, but she...is dull and doesn't talk. She only gets excited when she wants to eat...someone."
Yu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Because she has been away from the dungeon for many years."
Hearing this, Ye Tao didn't seem surprised. Maybe she had guessed it in her heart, but she still didn't want to believe it. "How could it be? We have only been here for three days."
"It's three days for you." Zhou Xiaozhen pointed at Zhang Qiqi, "but for her, many years have passed."
She was not very good at explaining to others, but she still tried hard to explain: "You should have discovered that every time this door is opened, the space outside the door will change. But in fact, it is not only the space that changes, but also the time. You open a door and see a bedroom. The next time you see that bedroom, it is very likely that many years have passed in that bedroom."
Ye Tao swallowed, "In other words, Qiqi stayed in that bedroom for many years?"
"I think she has been in different time and space for many years." Zhao Lan said, "You have been opening the door, and she has been opening the door too. It's just that you are lucky. You met her many years later two days after you came in."
Ye Tao's breathing stagnated, with shock and disbelief in her eyes, and more of it was unspeakable heartache and sadness.
She couldn't stand it after only three days here. Has Qiqi been here for decades? She grabbed her hair in pain, and after a while she asked: "Why did she become like this? Was she... driven crazy?"
Yu Xiao shook his head, and Zhao Lan said: "She was corroded by the ubiquitous Yin energy in the copy..."
After the explanation, Ye Tao finally accepted this fact, and she said: "In other words, as long as I keep opening the door, I will have the opportunity to meet the young Qiqi, right?" "
It shouldn't be possible." Yu Xiao said: "If you really meet the young Zhang Qiqi in the future, then Zhang Qiqi will probably not go crazy, and will not grow old alone. Then you would not have met the old her yesterday, and you probably wouldn't have met us."
"Xiaoxiao is right." Zhao Lan said, "You met her yesterday when she was already old. This is the final result of your relationship."
This news was a bit too cruel for Ye Tao, but Zhang Qiqi, the person involved, still looked numb.
"Have you found a way out?" Ye Tao cheered up again. Even if Qiqi had become like this, Ye Tao would take her out.
"I have some guesses." Yu Xiao and the other two would not hide their thoughts on how to pass the level, so Zhao Lan told Ye Tao that the three of them guessed that they could leave the dungeon tomorrow. The more Ye Tao listened, the uglier her face became. "Do we
have to stay in the first dimension?" "That's what we guessed." Zhao Lan patiently explained, "Because only the first dimension has the same time flow rate as ours." This truth is cruel, because it means that once you leave the first dimension, even if you know the correct way to leave the copy later, it will be too late. Ye Tao's face turned pale. If this is the case, it means that she will never be able to leave the copy. She will stay in this hellhole until she dies. "Can you take us away?" Ye Tao reached out to hold Zhao Lan's hand. Zhao Lan moved her hand away and said, "It's not that we don't want to take you away, but... Shi Guang said that everyone has their own way out. Our guess is that this way out means time. Everyone has their own time, and your time and ours..." At this point she had to ask a key question, "Which college are you from?" "We are from the seventh college." Ye Tao was already at a loss at this time, "What about you guys?" Yu Xiao and the other two looked at each other. My goodness, those of them in the sixth college are still considered newcomers, and now there are even people from the seventh college? "We..." Yu Xiao said with a complicated mood, "It's from the Sixth Hospital." "Sixth Hospital?!" Ye Tao's eyes lit up, "That's great." "That's great?" Zhou Xiaozhen didn't understand, "Why is that great?" "Someone from your Sixth Hospital successfully left the hospital. Did they leave a lot of experience?" Ye Tao's face was full of joy, "It's because of this experience that you were able to discover the rules of the dungeon so quickly, right?" Someone from the Sixth Hospital successfully left the hospital? Zhao Lan looked at Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao thought that it must have happened in the future. After all, in their time, the Seventh Hospital was still nowhere to be seen. "That." Yu Xiao was really curious, "Did someone really leave the Sixth Hospital successfully? Do you know who it was?" Ye Tao was stunned, "Of course, this is something everyone knows. You..." She said suddenly, "...are you the people from the past?" "Hehe." Zhou Xiaozhen was a little embarrassed, "We are also newbies now." Ye Tao's face suddenly became as ugly as a constipated fly. She looked gray, as if she had suffered a major blow. Yu Xiao asked, "Do you know who successfully left the Sixth Hospital? Maybe we know him." Ye Tao gave her a listless look and said reluctantly, "Not long after I entered the Seventh Hospital, I heard from seniors from other hospitals in the dungeon that two people successfully left the Sixth Hospital. One of them was nicknamed "Nickname Is So Difficult" and the other was nicknamed "Talisman Shop Three Percent". I heard that they were in the same ward..." " ..." Yu Xiao and the other two looked at each other in shock again, and then Zhou Xiaozhen grabbed Ye Tao's hand excitedly, "Are there only the two of them? Aren't there three people in their ward?" " Really? Do you really know them?" Ye Tao shook her head and said, "How should I know? These were all told to me by two seniors from the Sixth Hospital." "How is it possible?" Zhou Xiaozhen was not happy at all when she learned that she might have successfully left the hospital. She couldn't believe it. "How could there be only two people?" She looked at Yu Xiao, whose face was a little pale. She smiled and opened her mouth but said nothing. "It's impossible." Zhou Xiaozhen didn't want to believe it. "It's impossible for me to be Sister Xiao..." "What's wrong with you?" Ye Tao found that something was wrong with these three people. "It's okay." Yu Xiao calmed down and said, "You can come with us, but we can't guarantee that we can successfully take you out." "Thank you." Ye Tao was very excited, "Thank you, don't worry, I will control Qiqi. She listens to me and won't attack anyone." "I know." Yu Xiao said, "Did you see the guy in the corner? This is not the first ghost we have killed."
Ye Tao subconsciously looked towards the corner of the wall, and sure enough, there was a gray figure lying in the corner. She felt a chill on her back. Although they said they were newcomers, Ye Tao knew they were definitely not that simple.
Zhou Xiaozhen was still struggling, and Zhao Lan sat there blankly without moving.
Yu Xiao hadn't finished the rice in her bowl, so she picked up the bowl and continued eating. Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her and suddenly covered her face and cried.
Ye Tao didn't understand, and asked Yu Xiao awkwardly, "What's wrong with her?"
Yu Xiao ate a piece of meat and said, "She was thinking of something sad."
Ye Tao looked at Zhao Lan, who was dumbfounded and silent just now, and said, "What about her?"
Yu Xiao took a bite of rice and said, "She is thinking about a problem she can't figure out."
"Oh." Ye Tao nodded, thinking that these three people are really strange.
