Chapter 5 This guy! He's incredibly handsome!
Faced with the young man's disbelieving gaze.
"Don't look at me like that, like you should register here."
Shen Ye had already opened the dean's notebook.
"It's very clear from the notebook that she has the ability to manipulate minds."
The young man said in a deep voice, "Of course I know that."
"The reason we can't escape now is because our perception has been altered. We can't find the exit, and we can't find room 306."
Shen Ye:
"Rather than changing our perceptions, perhaps... it's more accurate to say that we've all been trapped in the mental world she constructed."
There are three points of doubt.
"First, all mental patients share a common weakness: bright light."
"Secondly, the way they all spoke just now was as if it were the same person talking, and they used the word 'I' instead of 'we'."
"Third, the director kept a record of the nightmares for several days, and each caregiver also had a related description."
"Therefore, everything before our eyes is a dream orchestrated by her."
The young man frowned; that was indeed the case.
Of course, these are just Shen Ye's supporting evidence. The most important point is... there is a dead line that connects to an unknown void.
This situation only occurs when there is a threat of death in different spaces.
However, this also made him even more certain of this.
The young man wasn't too surprised, or rather, this was within his expectations:
He shook his head and said, "Whether it's changing our perception or being trapped in our mental world, it's all the same; the result we're pursuing hasn't changed."
"The most important thing now is why you said you found her."
Shen Ye's gaze fell on the flowers on the balcony.
"Under normal circumstances, sunflowers will still stand tall even if no one takes care of them, as long as they are exposed to sunlight."
"But she doesn't understand."
"She only hides in the dark, constructing her mental world based on what she sees."
"Once it exceeds her understanding, flaws will appear."
"And the dean's notebook records that he placed this kind of flower in every ward..."
At this point, Shen Ye didn't really need to explain any further.
The young man had fully realized that he was the elite of the elite, and his powerful memory allowed him to remember the details of every room he had entered.
He only closed his eyes for a few seconds before he had finished reviewing everything.
Taking a deep breath, her voice trembled with barely suppressed excitement: "You're right, the flowers in the other rooms... are all in full bloom."
Shen Ye calmly said, "It seems that only the sunflowers in this room have wilted."
"Combined with the plot description, she was watching from the darkness..."
"Everything matches up, which means..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man's hoarse voice rang out:
"She's in this room right now!"
Shen Ye gave a thumbs up: "You've even learned to answer first."
A glimmer of light appeared in the young man's eyes, and all the previous mysteries were resolved.
"Furthermore," Shen Ye looked at the four hospital beds, "upon closer inspection, four beds in a room like this seem a bit cramped..."
He calmly watched the death line disappear into the void:
"It's probably because we were seamlessly transported here when we entered the instance, and now she's watching us lying on these four beds in the darkness..."
The young man let out a deep breath: "So, my companion didn't die either, right?"
"Probably."
Shen Ye pondered, "However, although we know her location, how to eliminate her is a problem."
Shen Ye analyzed everything from the limited clues, but after all, he was a newcomer entering the dungeon for the first time and had no experience in dealing with this kind of ability.
But at this moment.
The young man had already stood up; his figure was exceptionally upright in the moonlight, a stark contrast to his previous dejected state.
"Once we know her location, things will be much easier."
"Um?"
"I'm sorry, you must have seen how embarrassing I was in front of a newcomer," the young man said solemnly. "But those in the first tier aren't just there to listen in."
The young man cut his finger with a knife, and pale golden blood flowed from the wound.
"Now it's my turn to do the final things."
Holy crap, it's elixir...
The young man was performing a peculiar ritual, and his blood revealed his extraordinary aura, which made Shen Ye realize once again that the other party's identity was not simple.
"This is..." Shen Ye looked at him on the ground.
"You're a newcomer, right?" the young man said earnestly.
"Here's a piece of advice: although all levels, powers, and items are restricted, [mortality]... is the only thing that is not restricted by the Divine Cube."
"It is the only answer to evolution."
The young man said softly:
"And there's only one way to improve: the closer you get to death, the more you can unleash...this potential!!"
?
Near death?
Isn't this... a coincidence?
Shen Ye looked at the death lines on his body. Apart from the one that connected to the void, there were many more death lines extending out from outside the door, connecting to the "madmen" in the corridor outside. Even if they were fictional, they were filled with the danger of mental death.
"Also..." Shen Ye's expression suddenly changed: "How long will it take you to draw this?"
"Twenty minutes." The young man was focused, and with each drop of his pale golden blood, his face grew paler. Even though this was a spiritual world, it seemed that a considerable price had to be paid.
"I regret to inform you that you probably don't have half an hour left."
Shen Ye watched as the numerous death lines grew increasingly red:
"We seem to be being discovered. Those lunatics... are searching frantically, and they're expected to be here in just a few minutes."
The young man's gaze shifted, his expression turning extremely grave: "Damn it, was my behavior detected? Half an hour..."
He clenched his teeth tightly: "It's too late."
They had seen hope... but now it seems they are shrouded in despair once again.
What should I do?
He must stay here to perform the ritual in order to break through this spiritual space.
"How about this?"
Shen Ye bent down, reached out and tied his shoelaces, making them tighter.
"What are you going to do?" The young man noticed Shen Ye's behavior.
"Of course I'll distract them and buy you time, since there's no one else here who can help but me."
The woman on the bed was on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.
That young man in the bathtub... if he could move, Shen Ye would definitely send him a banner.
The young man's expression was ashen, and his voice was low: "Impossible. This hospital has a very complex structure and is extremely dark, with obstructed vision. These thirty-odd people... are used to operating in the dark and know this place like the back of their hand."
"The three of us made the bare minimum of noise and movement, yet it still turned out like this."
"And..." the young man looked at his companion who had died in the bathroom, "Although he died here, his humanity still remained."
"You're just a newbie; if you die here, it might really be death..."
The young man did not hide this fact, but Shen Ye interrupted him.
Time waits for no one, my friend.
Shen Ye smiled and reached out to open the door.
No unnecessary words, no fear, no resolute emotion; it was as if he had simply gone out for a stroll, leaving behind a light, casual remark:
See you in half an hour.
The door slammed shut, leaving the young man standing there in a daze, watching the other person's figure disappear from sight.
This guy is just...
He didn't know how to say it, but four words subconsciously came to mind.
He's incredibly handsome!
