"Jue, jue, jue … Brother Jue … just … just …" Wang Tanzhi stammered, and his Terror Points jumped again. Due to the accumulation of fear, even after he calmed down a few seconds later, his Terror Points did not return to the lowest level but stayed at fifteen percent.
With an expressionless face, Feng Bujue interrupted him calmly. "Based on my analysis, we now have two choices."
"Wh, wh … what?" Wang Tanzhi could now make four words out of two.
"The first choice, you take this knife and rush forward. After you turn the corner, slash at whatever you see," Feng Bujue replied. "I'll cover you from behind."
"I choose the second choice." Wang Tanzhi's answer was so smooth that he did not even hear what the second choice was.
"Actually, I'm leaning toward the second choice as well." Feng Bujue walked to stand in front of Wang Tanzhi. He stood in front of the first door on the right and turned the doorknob.
Everyone knew that for any horror game, the door was always a scary threshold. No one knew what would enter their eyes after they opened the door. Furthermore, there was the classic concept of 'death by opening the door'. In other words, the moment the door was opened, the danger one faced was the same as when one turned the corner.
A normal person would reach out to push the door open carefully, lower their body, and stay as far away from the door as possible, ready to run at any moment. However, Feng Bujue's action at that moment was more like he was running toward the toilet cubicle. He rushed forward, leaned his upper body forward, and pushed the door open.
There was no light in the room, and the light from the corridor filtered in through the door. The scene inside the room was quite scary.
It was a sickroom about ten square meters. The cupboard in the corner was overturned, and so was the trash can. There was a lot of debris scattered on the ground, but most of it looked like useless garbage, such as rags, waste paper, broken flower pots, some dirty disinfectant cotton, broken glass medicine bottles, etc … The bed sheets of the hospital bed were torn, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood. Almost everywhere that was illuminated by the light, there was no place that did not have blood.
"Training Mode will become invisible when the player reaches level five. Obviously, this mode is designed for newbies, to help the player level up to level five safely." As Feng Bujue spoke, he walked to the cupboard. He turned it around and rummaged through the things that were left behind. "After the 'expert players' finished the tutorial, they would at most play the training mode once, or they would not play it at all and directly enter the Solo Survival Mode. This is because these kinds of players will have read the related game manual beforehand. They know that if they enter this mode that only rewards EXP, the reward will be much worse than the official Solo Survival Mode. "
Feng Bujue found an unopened syringe inside the cupboard. He glanced at its attributes and placed it inside his inventory. "From the reward, the Training Mode is even worse than the tutorial, so I believe that the difficulty of completing it is similar to the tutorial. As long as the player is not scared into disconnecting, even if they do not solve the puzzle, they can still clear the scenario." He bent down and sniffed the broken bottle of medicine. "Actually, we could've just chased after the shadow and continued to play the game without going through these doors. I believe that after spending at most twenty minutes and experiencing several battles that might cost us our Life Points, we should be able to clear this scenario. "
"Then why did you come in here?" Wang Tanzhi asked.
"I told you, there are two choices, but you chose the second one without even listening." Feng Bujue unfolded the paper balls one by one and placed them under the light. "The second choice is to solve the puzzles."
"Hey … didn't you just say …"
"I said that we can clear the scenario without solving the puzzles, but I didn't say that there are no puzzles to be solved," Feng Bujue said. "But even if we solve the puzzles, we won't get any Skill Points." He continued to study the papers, and his expression did not change. "But there is at least one benefit to solving the puzzles, and that is it can lower the difficulty of the scenario. To put it simply … the work that requires physical strength can be done using intelligence. " Then, he picked out a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Tanzhi. "Take a look at this."
"This is …" Wang Tanzhi accepted the paper. He studied it for a few seconds before asking, "A medical record?"
Item Name: Medical Record of an Unidentified Person
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Unknown
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
[Remark: This piece of paper is covered in blood in many places.]
"That's your job." Feng Bujue waved the remaining stack of papers in his hand. "I'll take a look at this stack."
Wang Tanzhi only glanced at it, and his scalp went numb. Of the pile that Feng Bujue was holding, the one at the top had a strange human face painted on it.
The two walked to the brighter corridor and studied it for about three minutes. Wang Tanzhi studied it closely. Since many parts of the medical record were covered in blood, he had to make guesses as he read. Feng Bujue, on the other hand, scanned through the papers one by one. He was a reading addict, and he read everything quickly. Furthermore, his memory, understanding, and reasoning were all very efficient. Furthermore, the content on the papers did not scare him, so in his eyes, it was no different from looking at the pictures in a magazine.
"Have you finished reading it?" Feng Bujue asked this question first.
Wang Tanzhi's eyes were still on the medical record. He thought about it and replied, "This is a male, twelve years old … and he's still a child."
Feng Bujue scratched his chin. "Oh … a Young Pioneer." No one knew how his mind worked …
"Hmm … Leukemia. He's been hospitalized for quite some time, but …" Wang Tanzhi put down the medical record. "From the medical record, he doesn't have much time left …" He raised his head, and his eyes moved to the end of the corridor. "He should be a ghost by now …"
Feng Bujue said, "That might not be true. There are three doors here. We only know that the first door might be the boy's room, but we can't be sure whether the shadow that we saw earlier was him or not." He passed the stack of papers to Wang Tanzhi. "You don't need to look at them in detail. Just look at their attributes." After a pause, he added, "There are six different faces drawn on these papers, and there's a number at the corner of each paper."
Item Name: Face Sketch x6
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Unknown
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: These drawings are obviously drawn by the same person. The item can be separated or stacked, and when stacked, it will be treated as the same item.
"I'm getting more and more confused," Wang Tanzhi said.
Feng Bujue nodded. "That's normal. Obviously, we don't have enough clues to solve the puzzle." Then, he walked toward the second room. "Other than that, I have a hypothesis. This hypothesis is why I wish to clear the scenario after solving the puzzle." He pushed open the second door and said, "I believe we can find at least one official piece of equipment in these three sickrooms."
