Gu Yi returns to his hospital bed.
In order to cover up his crime, Gu Yi pretends to be infected and lies on the operating table. For this, he has to endure physical pain. A large piece of skin on his wrist is cut off by the doctor.
However, after the flesh is cut off, Gu Yi's spirit is obviously better.
But in the latter half of the night, after the anesthetic wears off, Gu Yi begins to feel severe pain in his wrist.
Xu Nian pats Gu Yi's shoulder concernedly. But Gu Yi smiles and waves his hand.
"It's okay. I feel very good."
"Uh..."
Gu Yi still can't understand what Xu Nian says.
At bedtime, Xu Nian lies on the bed and falls asleep.
Seeing that there is no one around, Gu Yi communicates with the system again and thinks about how to choose the reward.
The first reward, increasing the recovery speed of mental strength, actually has little effect on Gu Yi for the time being.
Because the rhythm of this copy is not very fast. Gu Yi doesn't need to use his ability very frequently. So the recovery speed of mental strength is the option that Gu Yi excludes first.
The second reward is to enhance the resistance to mental infection.
Obviously, the unspeakable behind Chongshan Hospital has extremely powerful mental infection ability. Just the exaggerated mental pollution on the underground floor is enough to know how strong his ability is.
This reward can greatly improve Gu Yi's immediate combat effectiveness.
The third reward is to improve the so-called inspiration.
Gu Yi has heard the experts of Longguo say that inspiration is a double-edged sword. People with high inspiration can find many hidden elements in the copy. But at the same time, it will also increase the possibility of him being exposed to mental pollution.
Gu Yi has the talent of infinite deduction. He can obtain copy information through continuous trial and error. Inspiration is not something that he is eager to obtain.
After some consideration, Gu Yi immediately chooses the second reward.
Gu Yi's brain feels clear. Even his vision suddenly becomes much brighter.
"Sure enough, I made the right choice."
Gu Yi clenches his fist hard.
In the past few days, Gu Yi's spirit has been in a state of tension. His spirit is on the verge of collapse. Originally, he thought this was caused by excessive pressure.
But after obtaining the infection resistance, Gu Yi realizes it.
His pressure comes entirely from the "unspeakable".
In fact, this is the most difficult point of the entire copy—how to maintain a clear and calm mind under the mental infection of the unspeakable.
Gu Yi decides not to explore tonight. He closes his eyes and falls into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning.
As usual, Gu Yi gets up on time at six in the morning.
He lifts the curtain and looks outside.
A luxury car is parked in the hospital square. He takes a closer look. This person is not wearing a mask.
In the entire hospital, only one staff member does not wear a mask. That is the dean.
Last time, the dean went to the office in the middle of the night. But today he comes to the hospital early in the morning. There is no rule to follow at all.
Gu Yi doesn't think too much about it. He pushes a wheelchair to the cafeteria for a meal.
After that, he goes to the hospital square for free activities. By the way, he plays cards with the store owner for a while.
Gu Yi finds that if he can cultivate friendship with people in the hospital as much as possible, he should do so. This can help him get more conveniences.
"You know what? Three more doctors in the hospital have been fired."
"Oh? Why?"
"Unknown reason." The store owner shakes his head and says, "Who knows what rules they violated?"
"What will happen if they are fired?"
The store owner grins. "Being fired means death. I think this is a kind of relief instead."
Gu Yi nods. The store owner's statement coincides with his guess.
"I see the dean coming today?"
"Um."
"What is he here for?"
"Who knows? Taking bribes." The store owner sighs. "Only he can freely enter and exit the entire hospital. We are just his canaries in a cage."
"Your appearance has nothing to do with canaries."
"Nothing to do? Sorry, I have a straight flush. I win this round."
"Hey? Are you sure you didn't cheat?"
"It doesn't count as cheating if you don't catch it."
The store owner just plays cards with Gu Yi and doesn't gamble. So neither of them needs to abide by the gambling rules.
Gu Yi plays cards with the store owner for a while. Soon after, the kangaroo transport truck stops in the parking lot. Gu Yi says goodbye to the store owner and hides in the toilet.
"Start deduction!"
(The deduction begins!)
(You put on the kangaroo mask.)
(You follow behind the two deliverymen in confusion and successfully come to the second basement floor.)
(Your mental strength is stronger than before. Now you don't start mutating immediately like before.)
(You come to the depths of the second basement floor.)
(The corridor here is still so long that it is unacceptable. You feel that your heart begins to be restless again. You find that blood begins to drip from the ceiling again.)
(You put on the deer mask.)
(At this time, the corridor is no longer eerie.)
(Sure enough, everything is as you think. When you equip a new mask, the environment of the basement changes.)
(You walk in the corridor and still feel bored. Occasionally, you can still see the corridor full of flesh and blood.)
(Although wearing a mask, the unspeakable can still affect your perception ability from time to time.)
(You come to the end of the corridor and find the front of the dean's office on the second basement floor.)
(There are a bunch of chains hanging on the door. There is also a golden lock hanging on it.)
(But when you take off the deer mask, this lock is invisible.)
(The computer password in the dean's office on the ground has not been unlocked. There is actually a strange lock in the dean's office on the underground floor.)
(You calm down and think for a while.)
(Now, you already have three masks. These three masks each have their own functions.)
(The beak mask allows you to move freely on the first to third floors of the hospital.)
(The kangaroo mask allows you to safely enter the first and second basements.)
(The deer mask allows you to resist the mental infection on the second basement floor and see part of the truth.)
(If you want to unlock this lock, the clue is likely to be only on the elephant mask and the dog head mask.)
(The person wearing the elephant mask is the maintenance worker in the hospital. You seldom contact them.)
(You have tried to pick up the elephant mask. But the weight of the mask is too heavy. It is impossible to pick it up at all.)
(Your next goal can only be the dog head mask.)
(You already know almost all the rules of the security department. But you don't know if there are any other hidden rules or manuals for the security department.)
(Perhaps you can continue to use the rules and successfully get a dog head mask.)
(You haven't thought of a good way for the time being. You turn left and continue to explore.)
(You come to the storage room last time.)
(You find that the storage room is filled with folding beds one by one.)
(You take off your mask and find that the folding bed has turned into a cardboard box.)
(You feel very puzzled.)
(You think for a while. You feel that you have misread the patient manual before.)
