Chapter 7: The Bet
The blood-stained writing in the past was clear and even had punctuation marks.
However, this time the blood-stained writing was not only blurry and heavily altered, but the content had become fragmented like written deliriously.
Gu Yi could only barely understand a few words.
It was apparent that when "I" left this string of writing, they were on the brink of a mental breakdown. "I" seemed to question their own human identity.
"Dogs are friends of humans."
This was the first part of the blood-stained writing.
Given the unclear and sloppy handwriting, Gu Yi remained skeptical of this clue.
To others, the barking of dogs did not exist.
But it was also possible that they could hear the barking of dogs, but were constrained by the power of rules and dared not acknowledge the existence of the bark.
The barking of dogs must also be a key clue to the truth about the hospital.
The identity of "I" is also an area worthy of reasoning and exploration.
During his time in the ward, there was a rule that "there must always be two people in ICU". Perhaps the fellow patient that Gu Yi couldn't see was "I".
"So... the role I'm playing now is actually schizophrenic? But from what I can see now, I don't have any signs of schizophrenia. It's also possible that the possible second personality in my body has been stripped from my body and has become the 'Unspeakable' in this dungeon?"
Gu Yi stood in front of the bulletin board talking to himself, carefully analyzing all the clues he had gathered.
So far, he did not know what illness this hospital was treating, or what specific treatment methods they used. However, in the afternoon, Gu Yi would have the opportunity to experience the hospital's treatment process.
Gu Yi ran to the edge of the square and walked to a treadmill, strolling along with other patients.
There were many guards patrolling around the square, all wearing dog masks and working meticulously. Anyone who dared to look at the hospital gate would be harshly reprimanded by them.
"Don't even think about running away, it's not the time yet,"
Gu Yi shook his head and chatted with the surrounding patients while walking on the treadmill.
He found these patients were all very indifferent.
No matter what Gu Yi said, they ignored him.
Moreover, the other patients were all playing on their own and rarely communicated.
Even the two patients playing frisbee together did not communicate with each other from beginning to end. Occasionally, a few laughs could be heard, but they quickly subsided.
-These patients must also have problems!
Gu Yi used various fitness equipment and spent two hours accumulating enough mental power.
His mental power had now reached 20 points.
With enough mental power, Gu Yi immediately began a new round of deduction. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
(Deduction begins.)
(You have tried all the sports projects on the square, but there are no effective clues.)
(You got off the treadmill.)
(You found a small shop in the southeast corner of the square.)
(The Shop owner was a person wearing a Pig head mask, but this person's figure was slimmer than the chef in the kitchen.)
(Shop owner: What do you want to buy?)
(You: What do you have here?)
(Shop owner: Daily necessities, leisure snacks, everything.)
(You: Everything? Then can you tell me the truth about this hospital?)
(Shop owner: I don't understand what you're talking about.)
(You coldly laugh, pointing to the signboard next to the shop, which reads the gambling rules.)
( [Gambling Rules]
1. You can gamble with the Shop owner, and the wager can be on anything, but the wager you can offer can only be your life.
2. The gambling agreement binds both parties and no one can back out.
3. The Shop owner only accepts gambling invitations from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.)
(Shop owner: So, you want to gamble with me? Well, just to be clear, I don't know what you mean by "the truth," but I can tell you how to find it. Are you willing to bet with me?)
(You: I am willing.)
(Hearing that someone wants to gamble, all the surrounding patients gather around, shaking their heads at you, urging you not to gamble, but you ignore them.)
(The Shop owner takes out three cards, two of which are aces, and one is a joker.)
(Shop owner: Find the joker, and you win. If you lose, you'll have to give me your life.)
(You: Let's do it.)
(The Shop owner shows the three cards, then flips them over onto the table and quickly shuffles the order.)
(You can't see the Shop owner's movements clearly.) current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
(You can't even be sure which card is the Joker.)
(Shop owner: Guess.)
(You point to the card in the middle.)
(The Shop owner flips the cards over, revealing an ace.)
(Shop owner: You lose.)
(The Shop owner pulls out a gun and shoots you in the head.)
(Everything goes blood red before your eyes.)
(You are dead.)
(The deduction ends)
Gu Yi exited the deduction mode.
After dying so many times, Gu Yi had become accustomed to death.
"I must have been distracted just now, let's try again."
(Deduction begins.)
(This time, you found the Shop owner directly and explained that you want to gamble with him.)
(The Shop owner readily agrees.)
(Your eyes are fixed on the Joker card, without blinking. You are sure you have tracked it down.)
(You choose the card in the middle.)
(The Shop owner flips the card and it's an Ace.)
(The Shop owner pulls out an axe from under the table and splits your head open.)
(Your vision turns red.)
(You die.)
(The deduction ends.)
"How could I be wrong again?"
Gu Yi shook his head and carefully recalled every detail of the previous two simulations.
Finally, his eyes lit up and he realized that the Shop owner must have cheated.
-He must have been cheating!
Gu Yi walks confidently to the small shop in the southeast corner.
"What do you want to buy?"
"I want to gamble with you."
"Gamble? Have you read the rules?"
"Of course."
"What do you want?"
"I want to know the truth about the hospital."
"I can only tell you the way to find the truth. Even so, do you still want to gamble with me?"
The Shop owner took out three playing cards from his pocket and placed them on the table.
The other patients around them saw that Gu Yi wants to gamble and shake their heads and wave their hands, trying to dissuade him.
But Gu Yi shook his head and insisted on gambling.
Just like before, the Shop owner shuffled the cards and his movements and techniques were exactly the same as in the simulation.
"If you pick the joker, you win."
Gu Yi pointed to the third card with his hand, "This one..."
The Shop owner reached out to flip the card over, but Gu Yi stops him immediately.
"Wait, let me flip it over." Gu Yi says, "This one isn't the Joker."
Then Gu Yi flipped over the third card, and it was an Ace.
"This one isn't either."
After that, Gu Yi flipped over the first card, it was also an Ace.
"So, the Joker must be in the middle."
The Shop owner blinked and secretly hid the Joker card he had switched in his sleeve. He nodded reluctantly to Gu Yi and pointed to the shop behind him. "Come with me, I'll give you something."
Gu Yi followed the Shop owner.
The Shop owner rummaged through a box and took out a pair of 3D glasses and gave them to Gu Yi, along with the instructions for how to use them.
Clearly, this was also one of the strange rules created by the Unspeakable.
[Instructions for use]
1. You can use these glasses to watch the 3D movie "Monster Siege".
2. If you see a monster walking out of the screen through the glasses, please take them off immediately and take three steps back.
3. Do not wear these glasses at ordinary times.
Gu Yi flipped the instructions over and saw a string of bloody words.
"Believe me, don't look! They're all fake!"
