Escape Game

: Chapter 109

When Ji Lingchuan woke up in a strange rental room, he still couldn't believe it.

Isn't he dead? Died in that demon's laboratory...

He saw the calendar on the bedside, February 1, 2017. He returned more than a month ago.

How is this going?

Ji Lingchuan feels that this world is a little bit fantasy, did he have a dream? He wanted to go to the bathroom to wash and calm his face, but he was taken aback when he saw the face in the mirror.

That face... can still be seen vaguely as his face, but it is covered with rashes of all sizes, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Ji Lingchuan decided to go to the hospital to take a look, and reminded the doctor named Ji Lingchuan in the hospital that he was in danger. In Ji Lingchuan's knowledge, he himself was Zheng Yangfan. He was drained of blood by Dr. Kang in the laboratory in his previous life. At the same time, there was another person who exchanged hearts with him called Ji Lingchuan (that is, the real Zheng Yangfan). Ji Lingchuan also regarded him as a victim and wanted him to escape from the poisonous hand in this world.

Ji Lingchuan covered his face and entered the hospital. As a rash on his face, he went to the dermatology department first.

"Name?" the doctor asked.

"Zheng Yangfan." Ji Lingchuan replied.

The doctor smiled: "The same name as our dean's son. Take off your mask and let me see what's going on."

I am the dean's son. Ji Lingchuan read silently.

Ji Lingchuan hesitated to take off the mask. When the doctor saw that his face was full of rashes, his complexion changed, and he muttered, "Another one. Several of these symptoms have appeared recently..."

"Doctor, what is my disease?" Ji Lingchuan asked nervously.

The doctor said: "A new type of disease, which is contagious, initially called it a virus X infectious disease. It is recommended that you be hospitalized."

When the doctor said this, he looked at Ji Lingchuan more. Because he discovered that this patient named Zheng Yangfan looked a bit like his colleague Ji Lingchuan, but because the patient's appearance was damaged, he was not sure, so he didn't say much. Normal people would not stare at this face carefully.

Ji Lingchuan: "...well."

As a result, a patient named Zheng Yangfan was admitted to bed 1 in Ward 409 of the inpatient department.

After coming out of the dermatology department, Ji Lingchuan put on the mask again and decided to go to the doctor named Ji Lingchuan.

Ji Lingchuan in this time and space is still a doctor who has made little achievements in the field of blood research, and he is well-known in the hospital. Ji Lingchuan soon found him in the Hematology Office. When he saw that person, Ji Lingchuan was stunned.

Because Dr. Ji looks exactly like him.

In Ji Lingchuan's cognition, Dr. Ji should be like Zheng Yangfan.

Ji Lingchuan began to doubt life. He began to wonder if he was the future Doctor Ji, or how to explain that they looked the same. But he... is obviously Zheng Yangfan.

He tried to talk with Dr. Ji and found that Dr. Ji knew nothing about the dangers that would happen in the future. He wanted to remind Dr. Ji, but was treated as a joke by the other party. In desperation, he took off his mask and said, "Don't you think I look a lot like you? Don't you believe that I came back from the future to remind you?"

When he said this, even Ji Lingchuan was stunned. He felt that he was Zheng Yangfan, the son of the dean, but now he was not sure-after seeing Dr. Ji's appearance.

Doctor Ji only glanced at him: "There are too many people in the world with similar looks and similar names. Your name is still the same as our dean's son. What's so strange that you look like me? Mr. Zheng, it's you. It’s a bit like getting X virus infection..."

Doctor Ji in this time and space does not trust him. Also, if someone suddenly tells you inexplicably that he is from the future and tells you that you are in danger in the future, you will only regard him as a lunatic.

Ji Lingchuan wanted to find Zheng Fangzhou, his father in this world. But it turned out to be a wall, and Zheng Fangzhou didn't recognize him at all. In this world, there is another Zheng Yangfan who is suffering from a serious heart disease and will always be recuperating in the hospital. He searched for Zheng Yangfan's photo and found that it was the face of Ji Lingchuan he knew.

Ji Lingchuan was lost.

He is an outsider in this time and space, he has no identity, he doesn't even know who he is.

Ji Lingchuan had nowhere to go, so he had to live in the inpatient department temporarily, trying to figure out all this slowly.

Ji Lingchuan, who was admitted to the inpatient department, was puzzled by the current situation. He has the memory of Zheng Yangfan, so he knows that Dr. Ji went to university under his pretence-Zheng Fangzhou accidentally said to Zheng Yangfan that Zheng Yangfan was opposed to this, but he still couldn't change the determined Zheng Fangzhou.

Combining his looks exactly the same as Doctor Ji, Ji Lingchuan had a terrible guess: He had been exchanged memories with the real Zheng Yangfan. He replaced Zheng Yangfan who was seriously ill in college, and afterwards Zheng Fangzhou asked Dr. Kang to exchange their memories...

This can explain why he has the memory of Zheng Yangfan, but he is holding Doctor Ji's face.

If this is the case, then he has to protect Doctor Ji better-that is to save him in the future!

But Doctor Ji didn't believe him... Ji Lingchuan thought about it and decided to use a method.

To get Dr. Ji out of danger, he must leave this hospital.

Ji Lingchuan kept secretly observing the hospital for a long time and learned about the internal forum of the hospital staff. He boarded the forum anonymously and announced that Dr. Ji’s academic qualifications were fraudulent, hoping that Dr. Ji would be expelled from the hospital — it’s better than life-threatening.

But it didn't work. This anonymous report was posted at the grassroots level of the hospital and made a lot of noise, but it has no impact on the top level. Dr. Ji was still transferred to Dr. Kang's laboratory in mid-March and was bled to death after exchanging hearts with the real Zheng Yangfan.

Ji Lingchuan failed to change history. But this time, he survived as Zheng Yangfan and learned about the development of things after his death in the previous life.

He learned that the X virus was developed by Dr. Kang. That lunatic drained his blood in his last life to try to make X serum. Dr. Kang discovered that although the most ill people were immune to X virus, their blood could not cure X virus-so Dr. Kang later used healthy, living human blood.

But in fact, people who are dyingly ill will not be completely immune to virus X. It is just that the two diseases fight each other in the body, and the onset is particularly slow, and it will not be fatal. For example, Ji Lingchuan (later Mr. Z) died after a long illness. No more.

In this cycle, Dr. Kang's plan succeeded. He produced X virus and developed X serum to cure it. It's just that this serum is useless for Ji Lingchuan, who is dying.

Dr. Kang became famous and sought after by the world. Zheng Fangzhou also had peace with his son Zheng Yangfan and his son. Although Zheng Yangfan thought he was Ji Lingchuan, he also accepted this father who was kind to him. Everyone is happy.

Ji Lingchuan found it absurd.

The ending turned out to be like this, so what is his death? What is the death of the healthy and living people who were let go of blood donation!

He wants to expose, but no one believes him, they just treat him as a lunatic.

In despair, Ji Lingchuan committed suicide by jumping off the sixth-floor bridge.

The second week is over.

Ji Lingchuan was awakened from the chair, opposite his computer, he was in his office.

The date on the computer shows that today is February 2017.

Isn't he dead? Died in that demon's laboratory... how could it go back more than a month ago?

By the way, according to memory, a patient named Zheng Yangfan will come to him today. The man who claimed to be the future came back to save him and reminded him to stay away from Dr. Kang. At that time, he didn't believe in the inexplicable words at all, but it was later confirmed...He died miserably in Dr. Kang's laboratory.

In the last reincarnation, he agreed to undergo a heart exchange operation and exchanged memories. But the appearance of "Zheng Yangfan" was an accident, so Ji Lingchuan firmly remembered his existence, and did not feel that he was Zheng Yangfan at this moment.

This time, Ji Lingchuan eagerly waited for the coming of him in the future, but after waiting for a day, the patient named Zheng Yangfan did not come.

Ji Lingchuan didn't understand why, he went to the dermatology department and asked again, and found that no patient named Zheng Yangfan had been seen today.

He did not come in the future.

But he had learned that Dean Zheng and Dr. Kang wanted to join forces to harm him, and he had to save himself.

It is not safe enough to resign, Ji Lingchuan decided to seek police protection. He wants to solve this trouble permanently.

This time, Ji Lingchuan was still transferred to Dr. Kang's laboratory. When Dr. Kang was about to attack him, the police broke in and captured Dr. Kang on the spot.

Dr. Kang went to jail, and even Zheng Fangzhou, who had cooperated with him and provided him with the body illegally for a long time, was sentenced.

Ji Lingchuan is safe.

He also knew why he did not appear in the future of this world. Because he succeeded in self-rescue and did not suffer from Dr. Kang's persecution, there will be no future him who was persecuted beyond recognition.

The ending of this world looks beautiful, doesn't it?

...No.

Because of Dr. Kang’s imprisonment, no one has studied serum X, but virus X already exists. Therefore, everyone was infected with X virus and died.

Ji Lingchuan was not infected.

He died of a heart attack.

He didn't understand until he died, why he had a heart attack if he hadn't suffered a heart replacement surgery in this world.

The third week is over.

Ji Lingchuan looked at the bracelet on his wrist and was silent.

Name: Zheng Yangfan

Disease name: X virus infectious disease

Symptoms: systemic bleeding and pus

The current time is February 1, 2017.

In the mirror is a familiar face, but with many puss, exactly the same as the "future him" he had seen before.

He just died from a heart attack in the last world, then he came back and became "Zheng Yangfan".

In this hospital, there is still a Doctor Ji working in the Department of Hematology.

"I seem to be stuck in an endless loop of script..." Ji Lingchuan smiled bitterly.

He still has to find a way to save the current Doctor Ji. But how to save it? Go to the police again and catch both Dr. Kang and Zheng Fangzhou? But then everyone will be infected with X virus because of no X serum.

Is it really okay to drag everyone into the water in order to save oneself?

Ji Lingchuan couldn't do it.

Ji Lingchuan did not go to see Doctor Ji in this world. He knew that Doctor Ji would not believe him, just as he did not believe in Zheng Yangfan who claimed to be from the future.

He opened the anonymous forum on the website, and wanted to get him fired by reporting the fraud of Doctor Ji's academic qualifications, but he stopped when he pressed the send button.

He always felt... as if he had done this before, but it was useless.

Ji Lingchuan gave up.

This feeling of being stuck in an endless loop is desperate.

Ji Lingchuan gave up struggling because he knew that no matter what he did, he would always return to February 2017.

He watched indifferently at this world's Doctor Ji being killed by Dr. Kang again, the X virus broke out again, and finally was solved by Dr. Kang. Dr. Kang and Zheng Fangzhou got what they wanted.

Ji Lingchuan's virus X infection can't be cured all the time, and X serum is ineffective for him, and he doesn't want to use those nauseous serums.

But he never died.

He lives like a walking dead, wanting to see how long he can live. If you live until the end of your life, will you end the cycle?

In November 2020, Ji Lingchuan was born again.

The four weeks are over.

Ji Lingchuan, who returned to February 2017 again, was desperate.

He did nothing in the last world, allowing himself to live so painfully, just thinking about ending it forever. But in November of 20 years, he still started over.

This time he is still "Zheng Yangfan".

Ji Lingchuan stayed in the inpatient department for a few days, watching the patients in the same ward change after another. Those infected with virus X would always die quickly, but he lived a long time.

...He lived too long.

Ji Lingchuan couldn't stand this kind of day, so he chose to commit suicide by jumping off the sixth floor overpass.

When he fell to his death, Doctor Ji who rushed here covered his face.

The fifth week is over.

Looking at the computer screen in front of him, Ji Lingchuan was expressionless.

Back again.

He just jumped off the building and died, and then he sat in front of the computer screen again, becoming Doctor Ji.

"How can reality be so absurd." Ji Lingchuan rubbed his eyebrows wearily, "I must be living in a script."

He wants to end the script.

What method should I use this time? Almost everything that should be used has been used.

correct……

Since all the source is a heart-changing operation between him and the real Zheng Yangfan... Then killing Zheng Yangfan can solve this problem from the root?

Isn’t it just a script? If Zheng Yangfan was killed to end the reincarnation, Ji Lingchuan was very happy. No matter how kind people are, they will be driven crazy after going through cycles.

If the reincarnation cannot be ended after Zheng Yangfan is killed, then everything will be over again, and Zheng Yangfan will also come alive. It doesn't matter if you kill it.

The real Zheng Yangfan lived in the inpatient department of the hospital. Ji Lingchuan was very familiar with the hospital, avoided all kinds of monitoring and medical staff, and sneaked into Zheng Yangfan's ward and killed him without knowing it.

That's why there was that newspaper and the news that "the son of the dean of the city hospital was bizarrely killed".

Killing the real Zheng Yangfan, Ji Lingchuan thought of another question.

What about the "Zheng Yangfan" of this world?

Every world will have two of them, one is Doctor Ji and the other is "Zheng Yangfan".

In the last world, he died by jumping over the bridge...

Oops!

Ji Lingchuan hurried to the downstairs of the inpatient department, but only saw "Zheng Yangfan" who jumped off the bridge and died.

Ji Lingchuan covered his face in pain.

He knew that this dead "Zheng Yangfan" would fall into a new cycle again.

In countless parallel worlds, there are countless people who are struggling, and the result of each time will be the birth of a new parallel world and the beginning of a new round of nightmares.

Can't end.

He is not six weeks. In countless rebirths, he no longer knew how many times he was going back and forth.

He suddenly remembered the "Zheng Yangfan" who came back from the future to remind him at the beginning.

At that time, "Zheng Yangfan" was already severely tossed by the X virus infection. But why? He died in Dr. Kang’s laboratory. It is understandable that he had a heart attack, but why was he infected with virus X so severely? Isn't he immune to virus X...

What Ji Lingchuan didn’t know was that people who are dyingly ill will not be fully immune to virus X, but the two diseases resist each other in the body, and the onset is particularly slow. 】

The original one did not come from Zhou Ming.

But after experiencing countless reincarnations, "Zheng Yangfan", who lived alone until November 2020, caused the illness to come back wearing just that.

And in that world, he has already begun to be memorized by the script, so he thought he came from Zhou Ming.

Including him in the third week of the eye is also worn by a certain Ji Lingchuan who has already changed his heart in the future. He thought he was in the third week, but he had actually spent countless times. So he obviously didn't experience heart-changing in that world, but still had a heart attack.

He Ji Lingchuan, alone, had two diseases at the same time, heart disease and X virus infection. Unless he recovers from both diseases, he will cycle forever.

He in this world will eventually follow in this footsteps.

Game testers found a data bug in a copy of the escape game to be opened.

This copy is called the Ghost Gate of the Hospital, and the character data in it has been newly generated soon, and it is not stable yet. As long as all data is stable, this copy can be opened, waiting for players to enter.

But the tester found that there was a data that was exceptionally wrong, and they always did not follow the procedure. But this is another major npc data, which cannot be erased casually.

small issue. Then format it again.

Formatting is complete. Players can be arranged to enter.

The tester opened the copy with satisfaction.

Ji Lingchuan, who was in constant reincarnation, caught the attention of the game testers. He was amnesticized, leaving only one round of memory.

But countless times of reincarnation had deepened into his bones, allowing him to maintain extremely keen intuition even if he lost his memory.

After the dungeon was opened, for the convenience of players to remember, Doctor Ji became Doctor J, "Zheng Yangfan" in Ward 409 became Mr. Z, and Dr. Kang became Dr. K.

Doctor J can always find Mr. Z who always wants to jump the bridge accurately, and he advises Mr. Z not to die. Because even if the memory is no longer, he knows from his bones that death cannot end, but the beginning of a new round of nightmare.

Why don't I know your pain, I am you.

Mr. Z doesn't know.

But living is too painful.

Sadly, after the copy started, they couldn't even search for death, they could only make an npc according to the set procedure.

In the game restarted again and again, they ushered in batches of players.

Some of these players can successfully pass the level, some cannot, and died in the hospital.

In any case, it is liberated.

Only he can't get rid of it.

Every time the dungeon is opened and the player changes another batch, Doctor J and Mr. Z will be cleared of the memories of the previous game. But they still realized that they were just a character in the game script, and left a reminder to themselves again and again before the copy opened.

For example, the page written by Mr. Z under Sheet No. 2, such as Dr. J's notepad. These are their last struggles, and they are also their distress signals to players. They are controlled by the script and cannot escape by themselves.

But none of those players found this information, so even if they did, they didn't care. It would be nice if the player didn't kill Mr. Z.

In the game Xie Chian entered, the plot before the start of the dungeon was like this: Doctor J killed Zheng Yangfan, eliminating the possibility of being changed heart and memory, escaped from Dr. K, and persuaded him to think. Mr. Z who wants to jump over the bridge.

It's so skillful that it hurts.

It's just that Doctor J still forgot a little. Not only does he have heart disease, his blood is also highly toxic, because he and Mr. Z are the same people. So he dripped blood into the serum several times because of his trance, causing a large-scale viral infection. Xie Chian and Jiang Kuo were right.

The truth is the combined version of Xie Chian and Jiang Kuo's speculations.

With so many players, some of them didn't find the hidden rules from beginning to end, and decided the winner by grabbing a prescription.

Some know the hidden rules that kill healthy people can restore health, and entire hospitals become slaughterhouses.

Some people also know the rules that kill Mr. Z to pass the level directly... According to the program, Mr. Z must stand on the flyover for a period of time on the fifth day of the game. As long as a player pushes him down, he can pass the level directly.

Mr. Z has been pushed down countless times. So many times that he was afraid that he would use a bandage to hide his weakness every time he lost his memory. Such unforgettable fear was because he didn't want to repeat the nightmare.

Never, no one ever said to him.

"I won't kill you."

"I'm here to save you."

Finally one day, a group of players used two prescription sheets to cure his two diseases.

"Ji Lingchuan." Xie Chian said to him.

"Congratulations on being discharged."

Mr. Z was startled.

He took the medicine carefully with those pus-covered hands.

When Xie Chian handed the medicine to Mr. Z, Doctor J walked out from behind and handed a medicine to Xie Chian.

Xie Chian looked at him.

"Unless the player tells me, I can't prescribe medicine for myself. But after you cured my heart disease, I felt that the system's restraint on me was reduced." Dr. J smiled lightly, "The prescription for this medicine was changed. The one that the nurse wasted, although it has been altered, can still be filled with medicine. I... wrote a prescription for albinism."

"Actually, as long as I recover from both diseases, all alive players can pass the level, but the patient does not reward healthy people with rewards... I can't give you anything, I can only give you this. But... thank you." J The doctor suddenly choked up.

God knows how suddenly I feel free after experiencing countless reincarnations.

Xie Chian took the medicine, and the whole person suddenly returned to normal appearance. He took off his hat and sunglasses, but he did not take off his scarf.

The youth has a handsome face and clear black eyes.

Xie Chian asked: "All players pass the level, what about you?"

"This copy should end completely. I'm just a bunch of data, probably going to disappear completely, a real death." Doctor J smiled freely, "I can't ask for such relief."

At the same time, the terrible pustules on Mr. Z who took the medicine quickly faded, revealing his true youthful appearance.

It was exactly the same face as Doctor J.

Ji Lingchuan is not Zheng Yangfan, but Doctor J is Mr. Z.

Both J and Z are Ji Lingchuan.

There are seven endings in this game.

Ordinary HE outcome: recovered and discharged

Ordinary BE outcome: death from illness

Midway BE ending 1: be infected by Mr. Z to death

Midway BE ending 2: Killed by other players

Blackened HE Ending: Killing Clearance
