Chapter 255: Chapter 234: Flying Over the Asylum (Part 3)Whatâs this, a hazing for the newbie? Is this Elizabeth or some college frat house?
Li Cheng watched as all the blood handprints gradually faded, not that he didnât want to run,
but in the last half minute, his body was stiff and cold, his limbs numb and unable to move.
Especially in the brain area, it felt like it was soaking in icy water, sending waves of stabbing pain.
As the blood handprints disappeared, all the pain receded like the tide.
"Thousands of handprints in various shapes, sizes, and types of hands, some even missing fingers. Maybe the system forced me to stand here and watch a whole CG clip to remind me that these hands come from the victims in the hospital?
Hmm... At least one thing is certain, this script task indeed involves supernatural elements."
Li Cheng pondered for a while, then stopped thinking about it, as if he had ingested a mad half-smile herb, hopping closer to the outer corridor to observe the windows.
The windows themselves used relatively thick laminated glass, which was soundproof. With the help of the corridor lights, one could vaguely see the main building of the hospital was U-shaped, made of reinforced concrete, four stories above ground.
Except for the first and second floors which were lit, the third and fourth floors were pitch dark with no sign of human activity. There were no stars in the night sky either.
In the middle of the U-shaped main building, there was a colorful flower bed.
"American stonecress, carnations, sunflowers, trumpet vines... Judging by the types of flowers and the flowering season, the current time should be in the autumn-winter season, which corresponds exactly with December mentioned in the newspapers.
Additionally, the well-maintained garden indirectly shows that this hospital is indeed wealthy."
Even though the player panel was sealed, Li Cheng, who maintained the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method for a long time, instinctively started multi-thread thinking.
Collecting information, analyzing clues, thinking of strategies, while his thoughts drifted randomly.
The hills behind the school in the real world, full of ornamental plants.
This plant is good for everything â cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and poverty-tolerant, always verdant and able to absorb dust, but the scent when it blooms is really unbearable,
especially in the summer under the boysâ dormitory, when all flowers bloom, the smell of the flowers directly hits the brain, seriously overwhelming.
Clang.
Li Cheng tried to smash the glass window with his elbow, but it didnât break, and a system prompt immediately popped up in front of him,
Quite a classic setup.
With a scoff, Li Cheng stopped the elbow strike, adopting the principle of saving energy, he hopped along the wall, exploring the first floor of the hospital.
Thank the coarse fabric of the straitjacket, it prevented slipping on the tile floor.
Most of the doors, including the main entrance of the hospital, were all closed, attempting to smash them would prompt a standard notification .
Only three places were different.
One was the pharmacy, which required a pharmacy key.
Second was the elevator hall. It could be freely entered, and the elevator could take one directly to other floors.
Since he was worried that there might still be clues on this floor unexplored, and after going up by elevator might not be able to come down, Li Cheng didnât enter the elevator car for the time being.
Third, was the medical records room.
"The medical records room is used to store patient data, including diagnostic certificates, admission records, test reports, hospitalization records, etc. It might contain the data of the character I am playing."
Li Cheng, through the straitjacket, gently turned the doorknob with his elbow.
Click.
The wooden door opened in response, and Li Chengâs heart sank.
According to the conventions of horror games, a room that appears at first glance to be hiding crucial clues, and can also be opened easily, is likely to contain a scare scene, or even deadly traps.
Sure enough, the moment he opened the door, he felt a stream of air on the back of his neck, as if something was breathing towards his neck.
Li Cheng didnât turn his head, but instead stared at the reflection on the metal doorknob to look behind him.
It wasnât an illusion; there really was an upside-down humanoid shadow on the ceiling right behind his head, breathing towards his collar.
As if it noticed Li Cheng had discovered it, the shadow let out a "giggle giggle" bell-like laugh, running along the ceiling against gravity, disappearing around the corridor corner.
"Like the blood handprint earlier, mainly for scaring?
But it could also be a real death trap, if I had turned my head to look, my neck might have been instantly twisted."
Li Cheng silently twisted the doorknob, popping out the latch, preventing the door from closing.
Then, he hopped all the way to the corridor corner, not seeing the shadow.
Only then did he return the same way, pushing open the door to the medical records room.
The light in the medical records room was on, and it was much larger than the solitary confinement room, lined with numerous metal filing cabinets. All cabinet doors were locked.
On the roomâs wall, there was a brand-new photo hanging, showing a group photo of all staff members of Saint Elizabeth Mental Hospital, with over two hundred people.
Most of the faces were blurred and indistinguishable, only three faces were clear, and corresponding names were written behind the photo.
They were the attending physician Dawsonâan elderly Caucasian male with a tall figure and a sunny smile.
The female headmaster Pellaâa Caucasian female with a pleasant face.
The head nurse Rachidâa Caucasian female with a dignified demeanor, cold eyes, and a robust build.
"A whole group photo, and only these three peopleâs faces are clear, clearly telling players that these three are important, either key NPCs or final bosses."
While Li Cheng was pondering, crawling noises started coming from the ventilation ducts in the medical records room.
