Schiller and Strange deliberately refused to take on the job, which suspected that they triggered the decisive ending, but they were not dead. In order to complete the decisive ending, the game could not proceed smoothly.
The nurse obviously had never encountered a wooden monster rushing out of the metal passage, but failed to successfully kill the doctor. The key was that these two people were not only not killed, but also jumped around. Not only were they healthy, mentally unharmed, and they were also thinking about work.
You say he is strong, but he doesn't know why he inexplicably doesn't play according to the rules; you say he is weak, but he perfectly bears the consequences of not playing according to the rules, and even survives.
The nurse was stunned for a while and left with only one sentence "I'll go and take a look".
It was completely dark at this time, and it was almost time to rest. When the night bell rang, Schiller and Strange sat in front of the fireplace again, stuffing the limbs of the wooden monster into the fireplace.
Schiller observed the environment in the operating room and found that the light was much darker than when they came, but the fireplace seemed to be unaffected, and the light was still bright and warm.
"Don't forget to bring the props before falling asleep." Schiller handed the jar with his nails to Strange, and said, "You can verify our guesses and see if this thing can bear the punishment for us."
Strange nodded. Although he was a little repelling other people's body parts, being pulled out of nails was not a good experience, and he didn't want to do it again.
Schiller thought about every detail of his dream yesterday. He remembered that he was fixed on a metal chair, but the armrests of the chair were made of metal brackets and wood, and the shackles were not particularly tight. If he could grind a small piece of the wood off, he might have a chance to escape.
But this also requires the game to let him control his body. If he only has the perspective of the bystander throughout the whole process, there will definitely be no chance.
But Schiller felt that if he was just a bystander to experience the child's pain, there was no need to use the form of dreaming, just give some hallucinations randomly. Since he was so immersive, he would have to have a certain degree of freedom.
The two of them lay on the chair in front of the fireplace and soon fell asleep one after another.
But what Schiller expected was that this time his perspective was not the child, but a woman who had been walking through the dark passage. She kept muttering, "Henry...Henry..."
Her voice was a little crying, and it sounded a little pitiful. But Schiller was focusing on the details of the environment in her sight.
Because it is too dark, you can't see the specific details of the building at all. However, by the sound of footsteps on the ground and the sound of the woman's fingers stroking through the walls, it can be judged that the ground and walls here are not wood, but brick materials.
Suddenly, something sounded from the end of the darkness, as if some kind of giant was gushing out.
The woman stopped in panic and then started running back quickly. After running for a while, the movement gradually disappeared, and she thought she was safe.
But as she looked up, a faint light suddenly appeared from the end of the corridor. A small figure stood there.
With a "huh", the flames began to spread wildly from the place where the figure stood, burning all the way to the woman. She screamed and retreated, but found that there was a wall behind her at some point.
Schiller commented in his heart about a very classic horror scene, but he not only watched the fun.
Just when the flames lit up, he discovered that the little boy standing at the end of the corridor was not a ghost, but more like a burnt mummy.
The faint light at the place where he was standing was not from the window. Schiller saw the huge running gears, and the gap between the biting emitted a faint light, which looked like the internal structure of the bell tower.
The woman was engulfed by the flames, but this time Schiller did not feel the pain. It seemed to be just a simple cutscene and would not be shared by the sensory.
But thinking about it, being burned to death can be said to be the most tragic way of death. Moreover, this magical flame without smoke will not choke people to death, and that person will be roasted to death alive, and it will be too miserable.
If players experience this pain, they might just force themselves to retreat.
Then the dream was not over yet. He returned to the little boy's perspective, as if everything was his memory just now.
The metal pliers reached into Schiller's mouth again. At this time, Schiller found that he grabbed another tooth and pulled it out. Schiller did not feel the pain, and then his teeth were pulled out.
Schiller narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and found that the teeth he had gotten in the operating room were the ones he had gotten in the operating room.
This thing is indeed used as a scapegoat.
The same was true for Strange. However, he did not see a cutscene about a woman, but appeared in an earlier timeline, when the nail on his big thumb was just pulled out.
Strange looked down at his bleeding feet, and the group of people were about to pull out the second toe. It was strange that when the second toe nail was pulled out, Strange didn't feel the pain. When he lowered his head, the nail on the second toe was still there.
The group of people discovered this abnormality and took a few steps back. Someone in the crowd shouted: "Witch! She is a witch!"
Strange rolled his eyes and said, please, this is a magical world, and why are you still putting this witch hunting?
Then he became puzzled. The world they were in was obviously an octopus man and a bird-headed man, and these people didn't care and had to get together to make things difficult for a little girl who looked at least like a human. Is this reasonable?
Strange felt something was wrong, but his body was not controlled by him. He could not control the character, so he could only observe silently, trying to see from the group of people what they were doing.
On the other side of Schiller, the pliers that were about to pull his teeth disappeared, leaving him alone in this ghost place, and he still couldn't control his body, so he could only watch.
This was a very boring dream for Schiller. He originally thought there would be some escape room scenes, but it was obviously not possible at this stage. Perhaps they did not trigger any conditions, which led to the plot being unable to continue to advance.
Could it be that they have not had enough patients who have successfully cured them?
If the number of cured people is a condition for advancement, they probably won't be able to get it all in their lives.
The flow rate of time in the dream was uncertain. Schiller silently for a few seconds in his heart. About half an hour passed, and the door of the cell was pushed open.
This time, the one who came in was not a tool like pliers, but a doctor wearing a black robe and a bird's beak mask. He was holding a pair of blood-stained pliers in his hand, which seemed to be the one that had just flew away.
Schiller focused on watching the next plot. As a result, when the bird beak doctor approached, the little boy struggled in fear, kept crying and howling, and woke up in a dream.
Strange woke up earlier than him and was writing something with parchment paper, as if he had seen some details in his dream.
The two of them described the scene they saw in their dreams. Strange frowned and said, "Obviously, this is not right."
Schiller was also surprised when he heard that Strange seemed to have some backgrounds in the witch hunting movement. The setting of this world is that magic and steampunk technology coexist. Magic is not a very noble thing, and some races even will be born.
Although humans are not born with magic, they can learn magic through training and often come into contact with magic in their daily lives. Magic is a common existence for them. Witches cannot be anything rare, what kind of witches are they hunting?
"Will this not be the real world?" Strange proposed a possibility, saying, "At present, we are only in contact with this ward. We can't go to the corridor. The clinic guide room and the ward are also connected by passages, so we can't see the specific situation. I thought this was a bit strange before."
"You mean we may exist in a certain person's world of consciousness? And because he only knows this ward, the world of consciousness can only present this ward? Everything outside cannot be explored because he has never been there?"
"It's not that there's no possibility." Strange took the opportunity to infer, and he said, "Of course, it's possible that the game system is too lazy to make maps, so he compiled the story in this direction."
When it comes to the world of consciousness, it is naturally the area of Schiller's professionalism. He said: "If you think from this idea, then what we see now is not what it looks like."
"The only ward in the mind of the master of the world of consciousness is this ward. Psychologically, there are two possibilities. Either his spirit has suffered a major blow, his memory has completely collapsed, and only one of the fragments is this ward."
"Or it's like you said that the master of the world of consciousness stays here since he has memory. Because he has never been out, he doesn't know what the world outside looks like. The world of consciousness naturally manifests itself as just one ward."
"If it were the latter, the other party might be very young and should not be higher than the age they started to remember. Otherwise, at least they would have some impression of the clinic and corridor. As long as they have an impression and combine it with some of their own imagination, they would not be completely blank."
"If he came here at a very young age and had never been out, then he might be seriously ill and sent to the hospital for treatment and was bedridden. There is naturally only such a small area in the world of consciousness, and only such a few people are exposed to."
"Wait, then what role do we play?" Strange asked.
"Of course it's a quack doctor who treats him... Well, I mean the doctor." Schiller said, "I think the master of the world of consciousness cannot be a modern person. In addition to the different styles of the wards, the current hospital will not only allow sick children to stay in one ward. Even if they don't go out to relax, they will definitely run around various test wards. Even if the child is still young, he will have some impression."
"Only when medical conditions are not developed and children with some strange diseases stay in a certain ward. It seems to be a treatment, but in fact it is just waiting to die."
"I also saw a plague doctor wearing a bird-mouth mask in my dreams. This means that if there is really a real world, then the master of the world of consciousness living in the real world may be a sick child living in the context of the outbreak of the Middle Ages."
