What is this? A show of strength to welcome the newcomers? Are you Elizabeth still a college fraternity?

Li Sheng watched all the bloody handprints fade away without changing his expression. It was not that he did not want to run,

but in the past half minute, his whole body was stiff and cold, and his hands and feet were numb and unable to move.

Especially the brain area, it was like soaking in ice water, and there were waves of tingling.

As the bloody handprints disappeared, all the pain receded like a tide.

"There are tens of thousands of handprints, with different shapes, sizes, and hand shapes, and even broken fingers. Maybe the system forced me to stand still and watch the entire CG video, just to remind me that these palms came from the victims in the hospital?

Well. At least one thing can be confirmed, this script mission does have supernatural elements."

Li Sheng pondered for a while, and stopped thinking about it when he couldn't figure it out. As if he had taken a half-step dementia, he jumped to the outside of the corridor and observed the window.

The windows themselves use relatively thick laminated glass, which has good sound insulation. With the lights in the corridor, you can vaguely see that the main building of the entire hospital is U-shaped, with a reinforced concrete structure and four floors above ground.

Except for the lights on the first and second floors, the third and fourth floors are pitch black, and there is no trace of human activity. There are no stars in the night sky.

In the middle of the U-shaped main building, there is a colorful flower bed.

"European heather, American dianthus, bougainvillea, trumpet creeper. Judging from the types and seasons of flowers, the current time should be autumn and winter, which just corresponds to December in the newspaper.

In addition, the leisure to take care of the flower bed so delicately proves that this hospital is indeed very rich."

Even though the player panel is now sealed, Li Sheng, who has maintained a multi-threaded brain method for a long time, instinctively turned on multi-threaded thinking.

While collecting information, analyzing clues, and thinking about countermeasures, his thoughts are floating.

The back mountain of his school in the real world is full of heather for landscaping and greening.

This plant is good in every way. It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and barren-resistant. It is green all year round and can absorb dust. However, the smell when it blooms is really not good.

Especially in the midsummer season, when all kinds of flowers bloom downstairs of the boys' dormitory, the smell of heather rushes straight to the head, which is simply overwhelming.

Clang.

Li Sheng tried to hit the glass window with his elbow, but it couldn't break at all, and the system prompt immediately popped up in front of him, [The window is motionless and cannot be opened]

It's really a classic setting.

Pouting, Li Sheng stopped elbowing, and in accordance with the principle of saving effort, he jumped against the wall and explored the first floor of the hospital.

Thanks to the rough material of the straitjacket, it won't fall on the tiled floor.

Most of the doors, including the main entrance of the hospital, are closed. If you try to hit them, the standard prompt [The door is motionless and cannot be opened] will pop up.

There are only three places that are different.

One is the pharmacy, which shows that a pharmacy key is required.

The second is the elevator room. You can enter and exit at will, and you can take the elevator directly to other floors.

Because he was worried that there were still clues on this floor that he hadn't explored yet and that he wouldn't be able to get down after taking the elevator, Li Sheng didn't enter the elevator for the time being.

The third place was the medical records room.

"The medical records room is used to store patient information, including diagnosis certificates, admission records, test reports, hospitalization records, etc. There might be information about the character I play in it."

Li Sheng gently turned the door handle with his elbow through the straitjacket.

Click.

The wooden door opened in response, and Li Sheng's heart sank.

According to the convention of horror games, this kind of room that looks like it hides key clues and can be easily opened at first glance is likely to hide a frightening plot or even a fatal trap.

Sure enough, the moment he opened the door, he felt the texture of air flow behind his neck, as if something was breathing into his neck.

Li Sheng didn't turn his head, but stared at the reflection on the metal door handle and looked behind him.

It was not an illusion. Behind him, there was really a human-shaped shadow standing upside down on the ceiling, close to the back of his head, breathing into his collar.

As if noticing that Li Sheng had discovered it, the shadow chuckled like a silver bell, and ran away on the ceiling against gravity, disappearing at the corner of the corridor.

"Just like the bloody handprint just now, it's mainly for scaring people?

But it's also possible that it's really a death trap. If I turn my head to look, my neck will be broken instantly."

Li Sheng silently turned the door handle and popped out the secondary lock tongue to prevent the door from closing.

Then he jumped all the way to the corner of the corridor, but didn't see the shadow.

Then he returned the same way and pushed open the door of the medical record room.

The lights in the medical record room were on. Its area was much larger than the confinement room, and there were a large number of metal filing cabinets lined up inside. All the cabinet doors were locked.

On the wall of the room, there was a brand new photo, which was a group photo of all the staff of St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital, with more than 200 people.

Most of the faces were blurred and difficult to distinguish, and only three faces were relatively clear, with corresponding names behind the photos.

They were the attending doctor Dawson, a tall, middle-aged white man with a sunny smile.

Dean Pera - a white woman with a pretty face.

Head nurse Rachid - a white woman with a dignified expression, cold eyes and a strong body.

"In the whole group photo, only the faces of these three people are clear, which clearly tells the players that these three are very important, either key NPCs or the final boss."

Just as Li Sheng was thinking, a rustling crawling sound was heard in the ventilation duct of the medical record room.

No way, again?

Li Sheng's eyes twitched and he quickly looked around the room, looking for something that could be used as a weapon.

Bang, bang, bang.

The crawling sound in the ventilation duct was getting closer and closer. Li Sheng, who lacked self-defense tools, immediately bent down and hid behind the filing cabinet near the door, watching what happened.

"Hey!"

A greasy young male voice sounded from the ventilation duct, "Why can't this baffle be opened?"

Communicable humans?

Li Sheng squinted his eyes and looked through the gaps between the filing cabinets.

I saw a vague figure sitting in the ventilation duct, struggling to stretch out a finger from the vent baffle to reach the screw in the corner of the baffle.

"Damn, forget about the whole hospital. There are screws on the ventilation duct baffle in the medical record room."

The figure cursed and retracted his fingers that were not long enough. Suddenly his sharp eyes noticed Li Sheng behind the filing cabinet, and he raised his voice and said, "William, is it you? Stop hiding, I saw you."

"How did you know it was me."

Li Sheng stood up and asked.

"Nonsense, I personally watched you being kidnapped and thrown into the solitary room with your eyes closed this morning."

The figure curled his lips and said, "Can you please help me and unscrew the screws on the vent baffle so that I can get out from here."

Judging from the tone of voice, this man seems to be quite familiar with the role played by Li Sheng.

Li Sheng jumped out from behind the filing cabinet, still probing, "Look, my whole body is tied up and I can't free my hands. How can I help you?"

"Let's think of a way. Don't you claim that you have been wandering on the streets since you were a child? You have shined shoes, sold newspapers, been a car repair apprentice, and driven airplanes and tanks. You are proficient in all kinds of skills. You don't understand everything, but you only have a basic understanding of it."

Damn, this William is so thick-skinned that he is almost catching up with me.

Seeing that the other party showed no hostility, Li Sheng decided to help.

Looking around the room, there was neither a screwdriver nor a crowbar. The ventilation duct is quite high, and you can barely reach it while standing on your desk, and there is no way to force it open with your elbow.

Then there is only

Li Sheng had an idea and spit out the thick tape that had been attached to his mouth from the eye socket of the hood, and stuck it on the screw in the corner of the vent.

Then bite the screw with your teeth, rely on the adhesive tape, and slowly turn the screw.

It took seven or eight minutes to remove the three screws. The man behind the vent couldn't wait any longer, reached out and pushed open the baffle, and jumped out.

Landing on the desk with a rather graceful front flip.

"Ouch!"

Li Sheng has high eyebrows. This dear man is not literally a human being, but a big rat that walks upright on two legs.

It is about 1.6 meters tall, has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, short and gray hair, black eyes rolling around, revealing cunning and agility, and a meter-long tail sweeping behind it.

What's even more bizarre is that this big mouse is wearing a blue and white hospital gown with his name embroidered on its chest.

"Skaven?"

Li Shengdan read out these words painfully, and the big mouse stretched out, "What did you ask me to do?"

"nothing."

Li Sheng's mind was racing. He didn't say, "There's a rat in the house. Hide the rat poison and don't let it eat it." Or, "Brother, why are you a rat?" What to do?”

"Come here and look through my own files. Fans will come to the hospital to see me in the next few days. I have to keep an eye on my files to prevent those doctors from secretly smearing me."

The rat man curled his lips, "Even if I have kleptomania, it is the world's number one kleptomania.

Remember, I was caught stealing top-secret FBI files from the Edgar Hoover Building. It's different from those little robbers. "

The rat man paused, looked Fan Li Sheng up and down, and then took out a detachable scalpel blade in a plastic bag from his coat pocket, "Stand still, I will help you get out of trouble."

The sharp blade cut across the uniform, and with the snapping sound of threads breaking, Li Sheng's hands and feet were finally freed and had room to move.

'So the reward for helping the Rat Man get out of the ventilation duct is to get rid of the control of the restraint suit. ’

Li Sheng had an epiphany and quickly took off his heavy restraints. He found that he was also wearing a blue and white hospital gown with the name "William" embroidered on the chest.

After helping Li Sheng get rid of his restraints, the rat man put the blade back into the plastic bag, hummed a tune and jumped off the desk, lay down in front of the filing cabinet, took out a thin wire, and picked the lock.

His movements were extremely skillful and professional, and he looked like a repeat offender for many years.

Li Sheng took off his hood, watched from the side, and asked doubtfully: "Where are the doctors, nurses, and patients in the hospital?"

"They're all in their own rooms, isn't it like this every night?"

The rat man's tone was brisk, and he casually pried open a filing cabinet, took out a brown paper bag from it, and threw it to Li Sheng, "Num, your file."

Obtaining identity information is easier than imagined. Li Sheng caught the brown paper bag in surprise. After opening it, there were several pages inside.

Large swaths of the paper are blacked out, and only a few are barely readable.

Name: William

Gender: Male

Age: seventeen years old

Symptoms: Schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions, confusion, no aggressive behavior)

"Um?"

The rat man who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for information seemed to notice something and turned to stare at Li Sheng, "Don't you have green eyes? Why did your eyes turn blue?"

The photo attached to the paper document shows that William is a handsome young man with blond hair and green eyes.

But when Li Sheng took off his hood, the reflection in the glass window showed that he had blue eyes.

Some kind of clue? Or is it a hint of illness?

"Maybe I drank too much blueberry juice recently."

Li Sheng laughed and ignored the topic, "By the way, brother, I want to explore the hospital now. Do you want to come with me? Or can you lend me your scalpel blade temporarily? I'll use it for self-defense ”

"Exploring the hospital? What's there to do at night? It's easy to run into danger."

The rat man was unmoved and still buried in the filing cabinet, "As for the blade, I can't lend it to you, but you have to exchange it for chewing gum.

I can pick locks. "

Friends who often pick locks know that when faced with some locks with lower protection levels, you can put soft chewing gum into the lock core of the door lock, then press it firmly with iron wire to open the lock core, and finally use the iron wire to turn the lock hole to complete the unlocking.

‘Is this a branch line? Chewing gum for scalpel blades. ’

Li Sheng knew clearly, "Where can I get chewing gum?"

"Go and look for it on the second floor. There is a little kid in the children's clinic who cries every day. He likes chewing gum. There should be some in stock."

After that, the rat man concentrated on dealing with the locks of each filing cabinet.

Unfortunately, except for Li Sheng's own files, the paper materials in the other folders in the cabinet were all black, and no useful clues could be collected.

"This is actually a way for the system to help eliminate useless information. Otherwise, there are so many files that I wouldn't be able to read them all until dawn."

Li Sheng thought for a moment and looked at the physique of the rat man brother.

Although this rat man is only 1.6 meters tall, half a head shorter than Li Sheng, his muscles under his fur are really well developed, and he may not be able to beat him in a real fight.

Li Sheng decisively gave up the idea of ​​"surreptitiously attacking the rat man to seize the scalpel blade" and instead used language to harass him, "Brother Rat, in fact, I am also a rat, and we were in the same family five hundred years ago. How about you lend me the blade first, and I'll come back later?" Give you some chewing gum? And do you know where the key to the pharmacy is?"

The rat man was unmoved, "Don't bother me looking for files."

"Brother Rat, I have some rat poison here, it's good for your health."

"Don't bother me looking for files."

"Your next sentence is, don't disturb me looking for files!"

"Don't bother me looking for files."

No matter how Li Sheng teases him, Rat Man is like an NPC in a video game who has nothing to say at a certain stage of the plot and can only repeat one sentence.

After playing like this for a while, Li Sheng finally decided that he couldn't get any more useful clues, so he left the medical records room and headed to the second floor.
