After the retired judge enters the escape game

dinner time.

The patients in the critically ill area still eat under the supervision of the nurses. In fact, apart from the numb expression and extreme quietness, these patients can't see any mental obstacles.

The players still sat down at the table at noon, and began to discuss the harvest of the free time in the afternoon.

Huang Meiling said: "This nursing home is very large, but in fact most of the places are deserted, and the strangest thing is that there are no doctors in sight."

Zhu Ran still couldn't speak, he just shook his head to indicate that he didn't get any clues.

Hu Ziqian's thinking seems to be different from everyone else's. He said: "I went to the door to check, and found that there is no security guard at the door, so just lock the door with the broken lock, or let's find a chance to run out ?”

"..." Huang Meiling was silent for a moment, then said, "Where are you going after you run out? The main line is in the sanatorium, and you can't pass the level without finding the main line. There is nothing outside the sanatorium. Are you going to stay in the desert for the rest of your life?"

Hu Ziqian suddenly realized, and said: "You are right. I just think this nursing home is weird. I only thought that it would be safer to leave, but I didn't think about what to do after I left."

After listening to this passage, Qi Wuguo realized how unreliable this newcomer is.This Hu Ziqian is completely impulsive in doing things, without any rules and brains.

As for the other newcomer, Xu Jianshe, Qi Wuguo glanced at the middle-aged man sitting across from him, and felt that his problem might be even bigger.

Xu Jianshe noticed Qi Wuguo's eyes on him, but he misunderstood what Qi Wuguo meant.

He smiled a little honestly, and said: "When I was at the door just now, I really saw it wrong. There is nothing in the gap, really, nothing."

Qi Wuguo glanced at him and said, "I don't have any other intentions, I just want to remind you."

Everyone looked over, Qi Wuguo continued: "In previous games, we were the ones who played the roles in the game, but this time I think the situation is a little different."

He glanced at Xu Jianshe: "Symptoms may affect our judgment. It's best not to believe too much in what you see and hear."

The more Huang Meiling listened to it, the more she felt that what Qi Wuguo said made sense. She nodded and said, "I, I also discovered that although I made up a social phobia that day, I actually found that my symptoms were not like this at all."

Qi Wuguo asked: "Then what are you afraid of?"

Huang Meiling shook her head: "I can't say, I just feel a little uneasy."

But Hu Ziqian said: "Your statement is wrong. I think I am quite normal. My symptoms seem to be mania? Am I not in a peaceful mood?"

Qi Wuguo really didn't have much research on this aspect, he glanced at Duan Li, who had just finished eating and was counting his fingers routinely.

He was about to speak, but he saw Duan Li raised his eyes and looked over, with just one look, he knew what Duan Li meant.Obsessive-compulsive symptoms, he must be allowed to finish the task quietly.

A table of players fell silent inexplicably, and everyone was staring at Duan Ruo counting his fingers.

Qi Wuguo, who was always free and easy, also became a little restless when he was stared at by everyone.

He took a deep breath and meditated in his heart, paying attention to controlling his emotions and not being affected by delusional symptoms.

A few minutes later, Duan Li's ceremony was finally finished, and he raised his head and said.

"Mania doesn't just refer to irritability, excessive emotion, and increased language and actions are also symptoms."

After speaking, he got up directly and said to Qi Wuguo: "It's time, let's go."

Hu Ziqian sat on the chair, pointed at himself blankly, and said, "If I understand correctly, does he think I talk too much?"

Huang Meiling couldn't help but stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time for group therapy."

The treatment room is also in this building. It has a strange structure. There is a glass wall on the opposite side, which looks more like an interrogation room than a treatment room.

The difference between this room and the interrogation room is that the glass in the interrogation room is a one-way mirror.People outside the room can see the inside, but people from the inside cannot see the outside.

The treatment room is different.

All players sit in the center of the room, forming a circle, and the audience is outside the glass.

Qi Wuguo frowned slightly, looked at the patients in the intensive care unit wearing hospital gowns outside, and said, "I always feel like we have become animals in a zoo."

The feeling of being stared at by so many eyes is indeed a bit intrusive, and the patients in the critically ill area always look expressionless, which makes it look even more frightening.

Qi Wuguo said that it feels like a zoo is considered light, and a more accurate description is that it is a city surrounded by zombies, and they are the only living people.

The door of the treatment room opened, and Dr. Wang walked in.

He sat down on the vacant chair, and then said: "Today is your first day here, so don't be too nervous, just share your feelings."

No one spoke.

Dr. Wang looked very amiable at this time, and said with an encouraging expression: "It's okay, releasing some emotions will help the condition."

Qi Wuguo asked, "Doctor Wang, why are there so many people next to the treatment room?"

Doctor Wang's expression froze, he probably didn't expect someone to ask directly.He paused for a moment, and said in a stiff tone: "This is a hospital practice and has nothing to do with you."

As soon as Qi Wuguo heard it, he began to make use of the topic, saying: "How could it have nothing to do with me, a big man like me is always the focus of attention wherever he goes."

"I see. It must be that your hospital discovered my identity and didn't keep it secret. The news leaked out. These people all came to see me."

"No, this won't work, what if there are a few fans who are overly emotional, I will be hurt."

Dr. Wang was silent for a long time, and said, "You are sick."

Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, and acted like he suddenly realized: "Sorry, I couldn't control myself just now, but it's hard for me to control if you are so vague."

Dr. Wang seemed to be persuaded by Qi Wuguo, and said, "This is indeed the hospital system."

Qi Wuguo persisted, and said: "No, I won't believe what I say. There is no evidence. Maybe this system was established because I wanted to come."

Dr. Wang stood up abruptly, just when the players thought he was being angered by Qi Wuguo, they saw him step aside and pull down a projection screen.

The curtain just happened to cover the glass wall tightly, which made the player feel that the feeling of sitting on pins and needles will disappear a lot.

No matter what Dr. Wang's intentions were, at least blocking the view from the opposite room could also make everyone feel a little more relaxed emotionally.

"There is evidence."

Afterwards, he dimmed the lights, handed the remote control to Qi Wuguo, and said, "This is a short documentary about a nursing home, and it has been like this for a long time."

"Look for yourselves, I'll go out for a while."

After speaking, Dr. Wang left the treatment room directly.

The players looked at each other in blank dismay, completely stunned by this development.They just saw Qi Wuguo repeatedly jumping sideways on the bottom line of the NPC's tolerance, Dr. Wang was almost turned blue by his anger, but for some unknown reason, this anger just couldn't be vented.

Hu Ziqian didn't understand Qi Wuguo's operation at all, and asked, "Brother Qi, what are you doing?"

Qi Wuguo said: "Use the rules of the game reasonably to obtain information."

After speaking, he directly pressed the remote control.

The sanatorium that appeared on the screen was somewhat similar to the place they were in now, yet somewhat different.

The sanatorium in the camera should not have been built for a long time. Judging from the architectural style and the guests who appeared at the opening ceremony, this sanatorium has been built for some years, and the time can be traced back to before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The picture is black and white, and the definition is very low, full of the sense of vicissitudes of history.

The predecessor of No. 74 Sanatorium was a research institution, and the investor was not a native of the country, as can be seen from his exotic clothing.

In the nursing home in the camera, there are many people. In addition to the researchers in white robes coming and going, there are also troops stationed there.

Vehicles coming in from the outside have to go through strict inspections before they can enter the research institution.

This place is not so much a private research institution as it is a research institution under the control of the military, and this military is not from its own country, but from a certain period of time.

After that, the current situation changed, foreign troops were driven out of this land, and the research institutions naturally withdrew.On the eve of the evacuation, a fire broke out here, burning part of the building and some of the staff at the time.

In the end, these preserved buildings were purchased and repaired to build the sanatorium.

In the next shot, the style changed, from the previous documentary style to the promotional style.

All the pictures are some daily shots of the nursing home, and the schedule from early morning to evening is clearly captured. Among them, the evening treatment courses are indeed observed in the adjacent room.

In addition to these daily lives, it is an aerial camera clip of the entire nursing home.

These shots are all superficial, and the switching is extremely fast. Apart from understanding the general layout of the nursing home, no further information can be obtained.

Qi Wuguo found out the clues from the quickly skipped shots, and he whispered to Duan Li, "That little white building never appeared in the movie."

Duan Li nodded slightly, and said: "The pictures in these shots are somewhat similar to the outline of the plot."

After the movie finished, Dr. Wang opened the door and came in. He stood by the door and turned on the lights in the room.

Dr. Wang was going to the front, pressed the button, and the curtain covering the entire wall was slowly raised up.He was about to say something when the glass wall behind him was slammed.

Everyone looked in that direction, and when they saw it, their hairs stood on end.

The patients in the critically ill area in that room, at some point, were all lying on the glass, and it was crowded.

The lowering position is only so small that it is not enough for the whole room to stick to the glass.As a result, some patients climbed onto other people's bodies, and then stuck their faces firmly against the glass wall.

Their eyes were still blank, and their faces were squeezed into strange shapes.

Then, these patients seemed to find that the people inside noticed them, and they all smiled in unison.

Maybe it's not appropriate to say that it's a smile, after all, their faces pressed against the glass have been completely deformed by the squeeze, and no matter how hard they try to pull the corners of their mouths, it will only bring about a more terrifying effect.

"..."

The scene in front of them made all the players feel even more uncomfortable. It seems that when they were watching the introduction video of the nursing home just now, the patients in the opposite room were all staring at this side with this posture.

Dr. Wang frowned, and said with some disgust: "Tsk, I'm sick again."

He raised his hand and pressed a button, and the transparent glass wall seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, making it impermeable.

Dr. Wang's actions seemed to anger the patient in the opposite room.They beat the glass wall frantically, making the people in the room feel the vibration like an earthquake.

"I'll go out and deal with it."

Although Dr. Wang's face was gloomy, his mood was fairly stable, and he didn't show any signs of irritability or rage because of the non-cooperation of the patient in the opposite room.

It seems that he is used to this situation.

The door was closed, and Hu Ziqian finally couldn't help jumping up from the chair.

He touched the switch in a panic, trying to put down the curtain.

Huang Meiling stood up, but she didn't walk over, but said, "Hu Ziqian, don't mess with the things in the room, it would be bad if it triggers the sanatorium's ban."

Hu Ziqian ignored Huang Meiling at all, but continued to look for the button to lower the curtain.

He even turned around and yelled: "Shut up, you are still an old player, and you are afraid to do things! Those weird patients, who knows if they will be infected with any virus when they look at them."

The atmosphere between the two of them was stiff, but Xu Jianshe suddenly jumped up. He threw himself directly at the glass wall over there, as if he was also looking for something.

Xu Jianshe's results came faster than Hu Ziqian's. I don't know where he pressed it, and the gray glass wall became clear and transparent again.

The face stuck to the glass wall still didn't leave, just looking straight into the room, it seemed that Dr. Wang who was handling the matter hadn't entered the room yet.

Hu Ziqian stood at a distance and was already advancing, but he was caught off guard and was greatly impacted.Almost furious, he rushed over and pushed Xu Jianshe away, saying, "You're crazy!"

After Xu Jianshe was pushed away, he did not fight back, but stuck it on the glass again to see: "The box, the box is in that room."

Huang Meiling finally couldn't stand what she saw, she screamed and hid in the corner.She shrank into a ball, covered her face and shouted, "Shut it up! Shut it up!"

Qi Wuguo did not try to stop the chaos in front of him, he whispered to Duan Li: "Mania, fear, hallucinations, the purpose of this treatment room seems to be to exacerbate everyone's symptoms."

Duan Li silently took Qi Wuguo's hand and started counting his fingers.

Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously glanced around, and saw a camera with a red light flashing in the corner.

He understood, raised his voice and said, "I'm right, the setting of this glass room is aimed at me. And you, do you want to take advantage of the chaos to do something to me..."

The chaos didn't last too long, and the door was opened again.

The doctor who opened the door was a different person, and this time it was a middle-aged woman with a serious face.

The middle-aged woman was pushing a small cart with various medical equipment that is common in hospitals, followed by a few strong nurses, and she didn't look as talkative as Dr. Wang.

She nodded to the nurse beside her, and then the nurse began to work.They restrained Xu Jianshe and Hu Ziqian who were about to wrestle in front of the glass wall, and tied them to chairs with restraints.

The middle-aged woman adjusted the glass to a gray look again, and then sat down on the vacant chair.

After all, Huang Meiling is an old player, and it was because of those strange sights that she suddenly broke out.When the middle-aged woman entered the door, she had already adjusted her mood, and she sat down on the chair obediently without the help of the nurse.

The middle-aged woman said, "My surname is Song."

"Doctor Song, where's Dr. Wang?" Qi Wuguo asked.

Dr. Song said: "He has other things to do, and I will take over today's treatment temporarily. I hope that during the treatment, I can control my emotions. I don't want to use coercive means."

When she spoke, she stared at Qi Wuguo the whole time.

Dr. Song has single eyelids and some white eyes, plus two deep nasolabial folds, which brought a sense of oppression to most people in the room when he came in.

The thoughts in Qi Wuguo's mind were completely different. He knew that this probably meant that the information that could be obtained at this time and place was limited.

If he tried to obtain more information by any means, what was waiting for him was probably a sedative.

Qi Wuguo sat on the chair, put on an obedient look, and said, "Okay, I understand."

What happened next was nothing special, it looked a bit like a normal nursing home.

The players expressed their inner emotions, distress, and chatted wildly, and Dr. Song spoke to comfort them.

With the tacit cooperation of both parties, the treatment ended smoothly.

After that, everyone had no chance to communicate, but went back to the ward directly under the supervision of the nurses.

Qi Wuguo glanced at the monitor in the room, and found that the tireless camera was still working.Although he is keen to challenge the bottom line of NPCs, he knows that he has probably reached a certain bottom line today.

If he continued to die, he might be sent to the critically ill area.

Thinking of this, Qi Wuguo decided to wash up and go to bed according to the prescribed itinerary.

Here comes the problem again, I have to take a shower before going to bed.

The question that the two of them deliberately avoided during the day is now before their eyes. Although the two of them had a friendship in the same bed, they have never had such a candid face-to-face.

Duan Li sat on the bed, turned his back to the direction of the shower head, and said, "You wash first."

Qi Wuguo originally felt a little embarrassed, but seeing Duan Li's avoidance, he became more interested in flirting with him.

"You are a big man, I don't worry about anything, why don't we wash together to save time?"

"No need."

Qi Wuguo saw Duan Li sitting there like that, his back seemed a little stiff.

Duan Li in this state made Qi Wuguo feel very interesting, he raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak a few words before going down the donkey.

"Really, I don't mind, I've seen a lot of naked men..."

Before Qi Wuguo finished speaking, Duan Li suddenly stood up.

Qi Wuguo was rarely stunned, he just watched Duan Li turn around in a daze, and then began to unbutton his shirt.

Qi Wuguo lost his momentum and asked, "Why, what's the matter?"

The corner of Duan Li's lips twitched: "You are kind enough to invite me, but I am not respectful."

"..." Qi Wuguo was intimidated, and he didn't hide it at all. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Forget it, this place is not too rich, it's better to come one by one."

Although the washing process was a bit embarrassing, at least it was like this.

The two turned off the lights in the room on time and went to bed.

Humans are truly resilient.

Qi Wuguo has completely gotten used to this skin-to-skin feeling, and has regained his powerful sleeping ability, and even Duan Rue's routine counting his fingers before going to bed can't disturb him a bit.

Before he finished counting his fingers, Qi Wuguo fell into a deep sleep. Before he fell asleep, he seemed to hear someone smiling softly in his ear.

However, Qi Wuguo, who was urgently summoned by Duke Zhou, didn't bother to open his eyes to take another look. Duan Li was lying beside him, and there was nothing to be vigilant about.

This was Qi Wuguo's last thought before falling into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Qi Wuguo was soundly asleep when he suddenly heard a completely unbearable sound coming from the corridor.

This sound was like the sound of an extremely sharp object rubbing against the wall. What was even more excessive was that the door of the room was made of iron, and the object did not avoid the door when it rubbed past.

Then, Qi Wuguo woke up.

No matter how good his sleep quality was, he would be woken up by such a sound that humans could not bear.

As soon as he moved, Duan Li stood up.

"I'll go take a look."

Although Qi Wuguo woke up, his limbs were still in a soft state of deep sleep. Since someone was willing to do it for him, he didn't bother to get out of bed by himself.

Duan Li didn't turn on the light, the moonlight outside the window came in from the narrow window, and the sight was clear.

Qi Wuguo leaned on the bed, watched Duan Li walk to the door, opened the small window on the door and looked out.

"How?" Qi Wuguo asked.

"It's hard to say, come and have a look."

Hearing what Duan Li said, Qi Wuguo got out of bed and walked over.

The window on the door is a little narrow, so you can't see much of the corridor.

The lights in the corridor are voice-activated, and they are still on. Qi Wuguo saw a deep mark on the opposite wall.

This kind of trace, as if someone dragged a very sharp thing through the corridor.

Other than that, the hallway was empty and there was nothing else.

"Look at that little white building."

After Qi Wuguo finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the window.

The two still cooperate tacitly, and Duan Li acts as a ladder to lift Qi Wuguo up.

In the direction of Xiaobailou, the lights were bright, and through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Qi Wuguo saw the silhouettes of people again, a scene of busy work.

At this time, there was another movement from the corridor.

This time the movement was no longer the sound of a sharp weapon passing through the wall, but a scream.

"Let me go! Let me go! Forgive me, I'm not sick! I'm really not sick!"
