Is it because Lu Li is late, or is this sentence itself a gift?
Lu Li found the eldest sister again. It was the same as usual, and the nurse did not do anything to it. He asked her what happened to the Pig King and Silence that night, and what was left behind. The eldest sister said: "The Pig King is discharged from the hospital.
In times of silence, you must cherish the people around you.”
"Nothing left behind?"
"No. When will we go out for adventure!"
The eldest sister's head was jumping up and down on the hospital bed in the peripheral vision, and Lu Li recalled the unfinished commission.
The wheelchair girl on the second floor, the sculpture, Whitley, the remnants of the drowned man, Mrs. Slav, the patients in wards 212 and 213, everyone on the third floor except Time of Silence and everyone on the fourth floor.
The calendar is about to turn to 20, and theoretically he still has one-third of the time left. But if the nurse still monitors him, he will only be able to access the third and fourth floors during the day, and sneak into the second floor at night.
Lu Li thought that Misseliya's message had some profound meaning, so he went to the adjacent ward.
"Follow this arduous journey to reach the stars," he said.
"Mental illness."
The siren awakened by Lu Li complained.
It seems that Misseliya really left nothing behind.
Lu Li returned to the third floor and explored the rooms with doors and bars one after another. Some doors were open, and the patients in the ward were all lying motionless on the beds, as if they were restrained by restraints. Some doors were closed, as if they had never been opened.
Pass.
No communication and no clues.
Lu Li had no choice but to give up tonight and send his eldest sister back to her room, letting the drowned person steal time.
In the early morning of the 20th, Lu Li tried to explore the second floor, but almost ran into a patrolling nurse. He fled to the fourth floor and hid in the ward of the only big shot who could communicate with him, the Lord of Dreams.
After confirming that the nurse had left, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back and explained to the Lord of Dreams who was looking over him: "The nurse is chasing me."
"Why?"
"...I did something." Lu Li briefly talked about helping the patient complete the commission.
"A very good idea." The Lord of Dreams was as tolerant and kind as he had been before.
"I have a question." Lu Li told him about the patient on the third floor who ignored him.
"Why do you want to help the patients on the third floor?" The Lord of Dreams said, "They are tools, and they will die without mercy."
"I don't quite understand."
"You think of them as puzzles. As long as you solve the puzzle, you will get the answer."
Lu Li seemed to have touched some kind of key, and he continued to ask: "Do you know about this lunatic asylum?"
"A cage?" This topic made the Lord of Dreams less interested: "I want to rest."
"I'll come to visit you tomorrow."
Lu Li didn't interrupt anymore, thinking about the reminder from the Lord of Dreams, and left the ward.
Returning to the third floor, he came to the ward of Silence.
Silence did not give him a reward for finding the Pig King, and the Pig King has been discharged from the hospital. But it doesn't matter, Lu Li will collect the reward himself. And the only thing that seems to be useful is the tattered rope around its neck.
The words "They are tools" reminded Lu Li——
Lu Li tried to remove the tattered hemp rope from the corpse's neck, but it showed no response, as if a corpse was left to be manipulated.
After getting a tattered hemp rope, Lu Li avoided the patrolling nurse, explored other wards, and got into Ward 309.
An old man with a rope around his neck called the Rope of the Soul is lying on the hospital bed.
Lu Li lowered his head and looked at the tattered hemp rope that seemed ready to break at any moment, and then looked at the stronger and intact hemp rope around the old man's neck.
Approaching the hospital bed, Lu Li tried to remove the hemp rope from the old man's neck.
——"You treat them as puzzles" also reminded Lu Li——
However, the rope seemed to be solidified in space and could not be removed.
——Also "As long as you solve the puzzle, you will get the answer."
Lu Li put the badly worn hemp rope around the old man's neck, and then successfully removed the original hemp rope.
Lu Li, who saw through a certain rule, next visited the unlocked ward on the third floor - there was an oil lamp in The Shadow of the Fire Stealer, a set of keys in the Uninvited Guest, and a dance skirt in The Song of the Dance Skirt.
The oil lamp of Shadow of the Stealing Fire cannot be removed, but when a flashlight is placed on it, the lamp can be lifted up. However, Lu Li still needs a flashlight for activities at night. The key chain of the uninvited guest is solidified on its belt, and the song of the dance skirt is
The dance skirt can be taken off easily - without paying any price, or the price has been paid.
Or pay the price at some point in the future.
The following night, Lu Li brought the dance skirt and rope, and the big sister's head. With it muttering "You are like a kidnapper," he sneaked into Ward 201 and unfolded the shabby dance skirt of Song of Dance Skirts.
"I brought a dance dress. Can I invite you to dance?"
But the girl in the wheelchair wrote on the drawing board: "Thank you, but I don't want it."
This surprised Lu Li. He thought that the dream of a girl in a wheelchair should be related to standing up...
"Then what do you want?"
The girl in the wheelchair just shook her head. At this moment, the drawing board fell from her lap. The girl lowered her head to pick it up, but Lu Li had already picked up the drawing board.
The flipping paper stopped on a painting: it was a sketch of a girl leaning against a fence and smoking a cigarette.
"You like cigarettes?"
The girl nodded.
So Lu Li made a note and took Sister Tou and Andrea to the activity area.
"Why are you here again?"
"I will keep watch for you."
"Get in."
Annoyed, the gatekeeper turned toward the window.
"Thanks."
After thanking him in a low voice, Lu Li quickly walked into the activity area, went to the corner and opened the secret door, hung up the hemp rope, grabbed the rope and slid down to the mist-filled garden——
The flashlight could not shine through the dark mist around it, but the eldest sister said this was a flower garden. Lu Li, who could not see anything, followed the eldest sister's guidance and placed Andrea in a lake.
Taking advantage of this break, Lu Li returned to the activity area and used the coin to buy a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine.
Before dawn, Lu Li picked up Andrea, put away the rope, closed the secret door and left the activity area.
Lu Li handed the cigarette to the girl in the wheelchair, and she thanked her and said, "Thank you for your selfless help."
But the wheelchair girl had nothing to give Lu Li.
Next, I sent Andrea back to her room. It made a low sound, and the eldest sister translated: "It said, thank you sincerely. Just thank you?"
Andrea had nothing either.
After sending his eldest sister back, Lu Li walked back to the third floor in the darkness before dawn, still leaving the day to the drowned person Can Nian.
On the night when the calendar showed "23", Lu Li woke up from his bed. The memory of the drowned man was still there, and he lowered himself slightly, and Lu Li realized the gratitude it expressed.
Then, Lu Li went to the Dream Lord's ward first as usual. But he got an unexpected warning.
"You don't have time."
"What's the meaning?"
"That calendar is almost over."
Lu Li took out the calendar and saw that the number had changed to 24. He hadn't looked at it in the past few days, but now, he found that there was no paper page behind "24".
"The calendar only has 24 pages?" Lu Li frowned, "What will happen if it ends today?"
