Fatal Game Syndrome

Early the next morning, after the five people had breakfast in the cafeteria, they began to explore the situation of the sanatorium from bottom to top. The general wards had not changed much compared to before, only a few important places had changed.

"The tunnel inside is gone!"

Several people stood at the original entrance of the tunnel. There was only a bare wall here. Ling Jiushi pushed the mottled wall, and several pieces of wall that were about to fall off fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Ruan Lanzhu leaned over and knocked on the wall. From the sound he knew that the wall was solid. The original door was hidden behind the tunnel, but now that the tunnel was gone, he had to spend time looking for it again.

"The bodies will eventually be transported out, but the location of the tunnel has changed. It seems that the exit should still be inside the tunnel!"

Ling Jiushi looked back at the room full of corpses and said, "It shouldn't be far from here."

"So are we going to see the zombies again tonight?"

Tan Zaozao pulled Ling Jiushi's sleeve pitifully, could she please not come?

"It's okay, you and Qianli can wait in the dormitory then, we'll come down!"

Ling Jiushi smiled soothingly. Girls are timid by nature, and there was no bastard Jiang Yingrui watching them closely this time. The head nurse was also an old acquaintance, so there would be no problem leaving the two children in the dormitory.

"Let's go! Let's go up there and take a look!"

Ruan Lanzhu patted the wall dust on his hands and glanced at Tan Zaozao's face. She was afraid of this and that, so she might as well wait to die outside the door. If she wanted to say something to her, Ling Jiushi would protect her, so Ruan Lanzhu simply shut up.

There was no change on the upper floors, including 502. They found the love letter written by the head nurse again. The only difference was that the doll in the cabinet was gone and was now in Ling Jiushi's bag.

"Nothing at all!"

Several people searched the office for a long time but found nothing. Cheng Qianli sat down on the stool in dejection.

"We haven't finished searching yet, why are you in such a hurry? 502 is a forbidden condition, there must be something useful in it, can you be patient?"

Ruan Lanzhu didn't stop moving his hands, and without even raising his head, he taught Cheng Qianli, "Hurry up and get up!"

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that Cheng Qianli didn't get up for a long time, Ling Jiushi walked over and looked at him with his head down. Cheng Qianli was rubbing his hands and feet in the chair, and no one knew what he was doing.

"Isn't this chair too broken? It hurts my butt when I sit on it!"

"Is it very broken?"

Ling Jiushi took a closer look. It looked quite new. Would it hurt my butt? Could it be hiding something?

"Get up and let me see!"

Ling Jiushi grabbed Cheng Qianli's arm and lifted him up. He ran his palm over the chair surface little by little and indeed felt a round bulge near the back of the chair. When no one was sitting on it, the chair surface was very flat and there was no sign of any foreign object. Only when one sat down could one feel its presence.

"what happened?"

Ruan Lanzhu and Li Dongyuan also looked over and stood behind Ling Jiushi, watching him squatting on the ground and groping for the chair.

"Give me the knife!"

Ling Jiushi stretched out his hand, and Ruan Lanzhu took out the dagger he carried with him, unsheathe the scabbard and put it in his hand. After cutting open the chair seat, Ling Jiushi pulled out the sponge under the leather surface, and a Russian doll appeared under the chair.

"Russian dolls?"

Tan Zaozao squatted beside Ling Jiushi and reached out to take it out. Isn't this the one that Ruan Lanzhu found last time? Even the doll outside is exactly the same.

Ruan Lanzhu took it and took a look. This thing was an important prop. As for what role it played in the door this time, he still had to verify it.

"This thing was used to help the dean change his body last time. Could it be that it is still the dean's prop this time?"

"will not!"

Ruan Lanzhu shook his head. "If it was the Dean's prop, then it wouldn't be hidden in the chair in Room 502. At least it should be placed where the Dean can easily get to it!"

"That's right!" Ling Jiushi nodded. "This is the head nurse's territory. If it's his prop, and he's placed here, wouldn't that be sending him to his death?"

"Let's eat first, and then go to the dean's office in the afternoon!"

Ruan Lanzhu stuffed the Russian doll into his coat pocket. He had eaten breakfast too early and had been wandering around the sanatorium for the whole morning, so his stomach had already started to protest.

"I just know how to eat!"

Tan Zaozao complained in a low voice, but unexpectedly Ling Jiushi, who had sharp ears, heard it. Although Ruan Lanzhu next to her didn't hear clearly what she said, she knew it was definitely not something good, otherwise she wouldn't have whispered behind her.

"What are you talking about, Ugly Orange? Tell me about it."

"what?"

Tan Zaozao was shocked. How could he hear all this?

"No, nothing? I didn't say anything!"

"Ah!"

Ruan Lanzhu snorted coldly, grabbed Ling Jiushi and turned away.

Ling Jiushi found it a little funny. How could such a small cat have the guts to say bad things about Ruan Lanzhu?

"what!!!"

Just after going down a few steps of the stairs, a sharp and piercing scream unexpectedly entered everyone's ears, scaring Ling Jiushi so much that his body trembled and his hair almost stood up. Tan Zaozao and Cheng Qianli even hugged Li Dongyuan's arms and hung on both sides of his body, turning their heads and looking around like two frightened little animals.

"I go!"

Ling Jiushi's left chest rested on Ruan Lanzhu's shoulder, and his rapid heartbeat was so intense that Ruan Lanzhu's heart also became irregular.

"fine!"

Ruan Lanzhu held his hand and squeezed it, "Go up and take a look!"

Several people hurried back upstairs. The muscular man among the other three people who passed by was leaning against the door opposite the dean's office. His body was soaked in blood and there were several knife marks on his clothes. Such wounds looked very familiar.

"The head nurse killed him!"

Ling Jiushi covered his nose and tried hard to suppress the nausea rising in his throat.

"Look at the wound, it was definitely the head nurse who killed him!"

Ruan Lanzhu squatted down to check on the deceased and rummaged through his clothes, but did not find anything special.

"But what conditions did he violate? And the head nurse usually doesn't come out during the day, so why would she kill him at this time?"

"He died at the door of the dean's office. Maybe there are other taboo conditions besides Room 502!"

As he spoke, Li Dongyuan took two steps back. The man’s blood had already flowed to his feet. With such a large amount of bleeding, it was no wonder that the man died so quickly!

"What, what's wrong?"

The other two people who passed by must have come over because they heard the noise. When they saw such a bloody scene, they covered their mouths and retched.

"You are all veterans, why are you still so fragile? Has no one died in this sect before?"

Li Dongyuan frowned and looked at the two people. "Aren't you three staying in the same room? Why is he here alone?"

"This guy is not very sociable. We asked him to help us find clues this morning, but he ignored us, so I took Xiaoshuang away."

The girl next to her nodded. She was Xiao Shuang. Although the three of them lived in the same dormitory last night, the dead man basically didn't talk to them. Since he was unwilling to form a team, they would not rush to curry favor with him.

Ruan Lanzhu stood up, took out a wet towel from his pocket and wiped his hands, "Don't you know why he came here?"

"do not know!"

Xiao Shuang shook his head. "We were just about to go to the cafeteria to eat, and we heard someone screaming, so we came up to check on the situation. We didn't expect him to die so soon!"

They were all veterans, but they didn't expect someone to die on the second day. The key point was that no one knew what taboos he had violated.

Ruan Lanzhu didn't say anything else and turned to walk downstairs. Seeing that they had all left, the two followed behind. The man in the lead seemed to be very powerful, so they might as well follow them.

"I know how he died!"

Just as they finished their meal and sat down, the man in Xiaoshuang's team came hurriedly over with trays of food.

"Weren't we staying together last night? Before going to bed, I saw him packing his backpack, which contained biscuits and chocolates. When he left the house in the morning, I saw him stuffing one in his pocket!"

Xiaoshuang's eyes lit up, "But didn't you just search his pockets? But there was nothing in them, right?"

Ruan Lanzhu and the others looked at each other. It seemed that this was indeed the reason why he was killed!

"So the head nurse wanted to take revenge, so she had been waiting outside the dean's office. She happened to see the man eating the food brought in from outside, so she killed him with a knife?"

Ling Jiushi leaned close to Ruan Lanzhu's ear and whispered, "If this is true, it's good. This means there aren't any new weird taboos. Otherwise, we'll have to figure it out."

"Just ask the head nurse tonight and you'll know!"

Ruan Lanzhu put the chicken leg on the plate into Ling Jiushi’s rice plate. The food here was really bad, and only the braised chicken leg was barely edible. He even suspected that the chef in the Twelve Doors was the same person, otherwise why would the food be so bad?

"In that case, let me tell you some news!"

Ruan Lanzhu saw that the two visitors were staring at them. Since they showed their sincerity in wanting to cooperate, it would not matter if he told them the news.

"Inside this door, room 502 is a forbidden condition."

Room 502?

The two looked at each other. They didn't get any clues when they entered the door and had no idea what the taboo conditions were. They didn't expect that in addition to what the nurse told them at the beginning that they couldn't eat anything other than what was in the cafeteria, there was such a hidden condition!

"But we just went in!"

Xiaoshuang was worried. If what the man said was true, wouldn’t they be in danger?

"You are not allowed to leave your room after 502pm, let alone go to room ."

Ling Jiushi smiled and said, "And the door god only recognizes the house number 502. If the house number is placed on other rooms, or if you put it on your own body, you will be hunted down by the door god."

"So, there's no danger for you to go into room 502 during the day."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although the leading man looked difficult to approach, he was actually quite kind!

"Handsome guy, it must be very crowded for the five of you to live in one room, right? There are only two of us in our room now, why don't you come and live with us?"

"......"

Ling Jiushi was speechless. He was just comforting her, and now he was flirting with his boyfriend? It took a lot of courage to seduce a man in front of her!

Xiao Shuang was originally staring at Ruan Lanzhu, but unexpectedly she caught a glimpse of the man next to her who had been very gentle just now, now looking at her with an unfriendly expression. This made her confused. Was it because she didn't show any kindness to him?

Glancing at the three people sitting opposite Ruan Lanzhu, everyone was looking at him with admiration, which made Xiaoshuang even more confused.

"No need!" Ruan Lanzhu's expression didn't change at all. He didn't even look at her. He just held Ling Jiushi's hand and raised it to the table and shook it. "I sleep with my boyfriend."

"Uh! Sorry, sorry!"

Xiao Shuang was extremely embarrassed and quickly apologized to both of them. No wonder Ling Jiushi looked at her like that. It turned out that she had flirted with his girlfriend in front of him. She really didn't know how to live or die!

But Xiaoshuang felt quite regretful that the two handsome guys were together!
