Chapter 8 Ways to Escape from the Treatment Room (1)

After seeing the blood-stained notes, Jesse Dryden became even more confused.

The blood-stained notes had helped him throughout the game, but this time they were telling him not to use the 3D glasses.

Following the patterns from before, in front of the doctor, he must follow the rules on the front of the note, and behind the doctor, he must follow the rules on the back.

The hospital likely did not want the truth to be uncovered, so the front of the note should have rules that restrict the player's freedom.

"I" wanted to leave the hospital and hoped that the player would understand the truth behind the hospital. Therefore, "I" would write blood-stained hints on the back of the note to help the player.

But the rules on this note clearly conflicted with the effect of the 3D glasses. The 3D glasses were a tool to uncover the truth of the hospital.

Therefore, the front of the note should have rules that either stop or limit the use of the glasses, and the back of the note should tell "I" how to use the glasses discreetly.

Now, the two sides were contradicting each other. The front of the note told him how to safely use the glasses, while the back of the note told him not to trust the glasses. It was too bizarre.

He didn't know which side to believe.

At present, he couldn't reason or prove anything. Jesse Dryden could only find more clues and use his skills to summarize it gradually after trial and error.

Jesse Dryden looked around the store and saw many strange items for sale, including live snakes and toads.

"Why do you sell these things in your shop?"

"If someone wants them, I buy them."

"Okay, I have some other questions."

"Go ahead."

"Where can I watch the movie Monster Siege?"

"In the archives."

"Where are the archives?"

"You already know enough. Leave and don't hinder my business."

The shopkeeper impatiently waved his hand and pushed Jesse Dryden out.

He hid the 3D glasses in its box and continued exploring the square. Two hours remained until lunchtime, and Jesse Dryden continued to search for clues, but he found nothing noteworthy.

"After 14:00, Jesse Dryden and the other patients finished their lunch and returned to their respective rooms. He hid the 3D glasses under his pillow.

After the nap, everyone lined up and arrived at the so-called treatment room.

Before entering the treatment room, the doctor administered medication to each patient individually.

While the doctor was not paying attention, Jesse Dryden hid the pill under his tongue and secretly spat it out after the doctor left.

"Everyone, enter the treatment room."

Jesse Dryden nodded and turned to enter the treatment room.

There were a total of ten treatment pods in the treatment room, each resembling a large coffin, making Jesse Dryden inexplicably nauseous.

With the help of a nurse, Jesse Dryden crawled into the treatment pod.

After the nurse pressed the buttons on the several machines in the treatment room, she left.

The other side of the treatment room had a transparent glass wall, allowing the nurse to come quickly if any issues arose.

At this point, Jesse Dryden had accumulated 50 points of mental power, and as soon as the nurse left, he immediately used his ability.

(The inference begins!)

(You try to push open the treatment pod in front of you, but the control switch is on the outside, and you cannot open it from the inside for now.)

(You glanced at the other patients, all of whom had closed their eyes and fallen asleep.)

(You heard a barking sound in the distance and turned your neck to look at the glass window of the treatment room.)

(A group of people wearing deer head masks passed by the window, all dressed in suits and not looking like hospital staff.)

(Not only that, but the deer-headed people were accompanied by two others wearing pig head masks.)

(They stopped at the entrance of each treatment room, observing the condition of the patients inside.)

(When they passed by your treatment room, your eyes met.)

(The deer-headed person pointed at you.)

(The nurse immediately arrived at your treatment room, and they opened your pod.)

(Nurse: Congratulations.)

(You: Congratulations for what?)

(The nurse brought you to the deer-headed person.)

(The deer-headed person touched your head, and you tried to avoid it.)

(Deer-headed person: Come with me.)

(You: Where are we going?)

(Deer-headed person: Don't you dislike it here? I'll take you out.)

(You were very surprised.)

(The deer-headed person grabbed your arm and walked towards the outside of the treatment room.)

(Black hair began to grow on your arm.)

(You tried to break free from the deer-headed person's control, but they easily pulled you back.)

(You tried to speak, but only barking sounds came out.)

(You turned into a monster.)

(You were no longer human.)

(You died.)

(The inference ends.)

Jesse Dryden opened his eyes, lost in thought.

Once again, he unexpectedly triggered a bad ending, "Become a monster."

As Jesse Dryden had speculated before, everyone in this world wore masks, and the world looked different when they wore different masks.

Jesse Dryden closed his eyes again.

(The inference begins!)"

After locking eyes in the treatment room, he will take you away and ultimately achieve the "become a monster" ending.

The Stag-headed man is clearly not a hospital staff member.

He roams around the treatment room, seemingly conducting some sort of selection process, taking away patients who meet certain conditions.

Perhaps, being able to stay conscious in the treatment pod is one of the conditions?

You close your eyes and carefully listen to the footsteps outside.

Only when you're certain that the Stag-headed man is far away, do you open your eyes.

The Stag-headed man has taken away another female patient.

You are not familiar with this patient.

The patient is half-asleep, as if sleepwalking, and the Stag-headed man has to support her by holding her arm to walk.

Based on this, you deduce that being able to stay conscious in the treatment pod is not a necessary condition for the Stag-headed man to choose a patient.

The Stag-headed man and the female patient leave, and you can no longer see them.

You have unraveled the mystery of "patients disappearing one by one."

The patients are taken away by the Stag-headed man while they are receiving treatment in the treatment pods.

But...

Why do they take away the patients? What happens after they are taken away? These mysteries remain unknown.

At this moment, another Stag-headed man enters.

You close your eyes.

You hear the Stag-headed man standing by the window of your treatment room speaking, as if he has taken an interest in you.

A nurse walks in.

You feel a bit nervous.

Since this is just a inference, you decide to take a bold move.

The nurse opens the door to the treatment pod for you.

While the nurse opens the pod door, you jump out.

You quickly escape from the treatment room.

The nurse shouts behind you, and several other nurses run over to intercept you.

You realize that you are no match for these nurses.

You brandish a fruit knife in a threatening manner.

One of the nurses raises a nearby chair and smashes your head.

Everything before your eyes turns blood red.

You are dead.

The inference ends.

Jesse Dryden opens his eyes and sighs in frustration.

He can't overpower the security team, the male doctor, and he can't even beat a female nurse.

Clearly, everyone in this hospital has a higher combat ability than him. It's impossible to rely on physical fitness alone to clear this level.

Forceful escape means death.

Being taken away by the Stag-headed man means death too.

More importantly, Jesse Dryden still hasn't figured out why the Stag-headed man took an interest in him. If he doesn't unravel this mystery, he will continue to be taken away by the Stag-headed man.

Does that mean he is going to die in the treatment room today?
