Although they had obtained information about the death game from the old Taoist priest, after going around in a big circle, the result was back to yesterday's deceased. In addition, the deceased's home had been burned, so Xu Shenxing and the others had undoubtedly fallen into a dead end again.
This was because the player called "Dog with a Nuclear Bomb" seemed to have discovered the nature of the death game first. Therefore, in theory, it might be a better choice to look for him.
Although it was not difficult for the Super Administrative Office's support department to investigate the player's identity, it would take some time to confirm the player's current location.
Seeing this, Xu Shenxing did not intend to stay in the police car and do nothing.
Therefore, at his suggestion, Xiao Zhengyi drove to the hospital where the victim's sister was staying.
The hospital was not far from where they were now. The demonized police car had probably adapted to the feeling of riding with Xu Shenxing. It was no longer as timid as before. It drove all the way and soon arrived at its destination.
It took them some time to ask for the victim's sister's room at the front desk. After all, the combination of the three was too strange. Xiao Zhengyi was dressed in a police uniform, and although Xu Shenxing was dressed casually, he still looked like a decent person. The problem was that behind them was the old Taoist priest with disheveled hair.
To be honest, when the nurse saw them, it was already a miracle that she did not call the police subconsciously.
By showing the police ID that had been enhanced with the power of speech, Xiao Zhengyi finally got the location of the ward from the nurse.
Then, the three of them ran to the elevator under the strange gazes of the surrounding doctors and nurses.
"I don't think a comatose person would have the information we want."
The old Taoist priest shook his head. He was still betting that this operation would only be a waste of effort.
However, at this time, Xu Shenxing saw someone unexpected in the corridor.
Originally, he wanted to continue teasing her, but the blonde girl opposite him seemed to have sensed it and looked at him as well.
"Ah, Mr. Landlord."
Mo Li blinked. His face was expressionless, but his bright eyes seemed to be asking, "Why are you here?"
Chu Nuanxia was shocked when she saw Xu Shenxing. She thought it was a thief who had chased after them to silence them.
"That man is the 'landlord' that you keep talking about?"
In the past, Mo Li was one of the more hardworking types. Other than going to school, the only thing that could stop her was the 'landlord's order'. Everyone in the guild had long been interested in this' landlord 'that Mo Li mentioned.
However, Mo Li didn't speak much in the game, so even if they asked, they wouldn't get an answer from him.
The little girl nodded and answered Nuanxia's question.
"Then why didn't you tell me when we were at the chairman's house?" Chu Nuanxia almost fainted.
"I accidentally fell asleep." Mo Li didn't look embarrassed at all. Instead, he proudly said.
"He actually fell asleep!"
Chu Nuanxia was at a loss for words.
"Mo Li, you're here too."
However, Xu Shenxing had no choice but to give up on his plan to tease the little girl. He greeted Mo Li and then looked at the other person as if nothing had happened. "How should I address you?"
"My name is Chu Nuanxia. I'm Mo Li's friend."
The little girl greeted Xu Shenxing very politely.
Xu Shenxing and the others also introduced themselves to each other one by one.
Of course, when the old Taoist priest introduced himself, Chu Nuanxia had a strange expression on her face.
She was probably wondering why a Taoist priest would suddenly appear.
After listening to Xiao Zhengyi's explanation, Chu Nuanxia understood that Xu Shenxing and the others were here for the Game of Death case.
Originally, she went out because of that. Now that she finally met someone who was willing to investigate the case, she naturally didn't hide anything and told Xu Shenxing everything she found.
"Death is immortal? What kind of riddle is that? "
After listening to the other party's words, Xu Shenxing frowned and thought hard.
"It's the third book in a series by a famous science fiction author." Xiao Zhengyi seemed to have heard of it before. He explained to Xu Shenxing, "In short, it uses the whole story to explain the dangers of the Virgin Mary."
"…"
It didn't seem to have anything to do with the current situation.
"Is this a useful clue?" Chu Nuanxia asked uneasily.
"It's hard to say … Generally speaking, it's just an ordinary coincidence. Maybe the little girl wrote a few words with something in her hand after reading a novel and put it in the book as a bookmark. Then, she forgot about it."
Xiao Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "Even if it's true, it's hard to tell if this thing is related to the case."
"If you think about it carefully, when a girl moves her things from home to the hospital, her things will be organized a little, right? I think the things in the drawer should be no exception. If that's the case, then the lipstick in the drawer is very strange. "
Xu Shenxing also said. In fact, when the furniture was moved in, the drawer of the bedside table did seem to be organized, which led to it being almost empty. Therefore, the lipstick was so conspicuous. "If that's the case, then the four words in the book are like the girl suddenly woke up, wrote the four words without thinking, and then went back to sleep … If we use a less romantic method, maybe it's a prank by the nurses who occasionally come to monitor her."
The two of them spoke one after another, and Chu Nuanxia was a little shaken.
Could it be that the thing she worked so hard to find was just a useless piece of paper?
"Mr. Landlord," Mo Li suddenly said, "It's Soul-loss Syndrome."
Hearing this, Xu Shenxing showed a slightly surprised expression. "Are you sure it's Soul-loss Syndrome?"
Mo Li nodded, her blonde twin ponytails swaying up and down with her movements.
"Soul-loss Syndrome? The one that's often seen in period dramas? "
Xiao Zhengyi asked in confusion.
Soul-loss Syndrome was also known as Soul-dissociating Syndrome. In fact, it was the name given by ancient Chinese medicine to amnesia and the sequelae of resurrection.
"No, Mo Li and I have seen patients with similar symptoms in other … other places. Anyway, let's see what's going on with the patient first."
Xu Shenxing shook his head and denied Xiao Zhengyi's guess, but his face became slightly more serious.
