Chapter 259: Chapter 237: Flying Over the Asylum (Six)

Li Cheng once again crossed the entire cafeteria, greeted Martha and Barbie, and dashed towards the children’s clinic. The matchbox in his hand made a rustling noise as he ran.

The matchbox had the Kang Group logo on its face, and the remaining two matches inside were also considered props by the system.

[Item Name: Matches]

[Type: Ignition Tool]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Special Effect: None]

[Equipment Conditions: None]

[Note: Cannot be taken out of the script world]

[Note: An ordinary potassium chlorate match, perhaps it could be hidden in the hair to sneak out?]

Apart from the two matches, there was also a USB-sized mini recorder in the box, but when Li Cheng focused on the recorder, no system prompt popped up.

"According to the consistent nature of the killing field system, this difference itself is also part of the hint."

Li Cheng thoughtfully pressed the button on the recorder to play the recording.

After a brief rustling noise, an irritated male voice emerged, "Why are you here again? I told you to give me some time. I’ve found out that Diane is secretly held in the solitary confinement room on the fourth floor, and the key to the room is hidden in the director’s office safe.

Last night, during Christmas Eve, I sneaked into the director’s office, but I couldn’t open the safe because it requires a code."

The irritated male voice seemed to be having a private conversation with someone, but the recorder did not capture the other person’s voice, only the monologue of the irritated male voice.

"Listen, I took your ten thousand US Dollar deposit, I will definitely get the job done."

"That’s it then. Don’t enter my office next time, your primary doctor isn’t me... By the way, are you sure I will receive the hundred thousand US Dollar balance in ten days?"

The recording ended there, containing a substantial amount of information.

First, the speaker is most likely Dawson, as seen in the staff photo in the record room.

The recording took place in his office on December 25, Christmas.

Moreover, the recording mentioned a new name, Diane, located on the fourth floor solitary confinement room. And someone was willing to spend one hundred and ten thousand US Dollars to find her.

While pondering, Li Cheng returned to the front door of the children’s clinic, inserted the key into the lock, and burst through the door,

with his right hand simultaneously striking a match to ward off the approaching ghouls and illuminating George, who was weeping on the bed.

Illusions only triggered in dark environments, and as the light enveloped the room and shone into George’s eyes, the surrounding ghostly figures reluctantly receded.

Li Cheng, like a rock amidst the waves, passed through the lurking spirits and walked to the corner of the room to turn on the light switch.

Sizzle.

All the lamps in the children’s clinic lit up simultaneously, the evil spirits dispersed instantly, and the room regained its tranquility.

"Thank you, Brother William." George stopped sobbing and nodded gratefully towards Li Cheng.

"Just a trivial favor, just give me five million."

Li Cheng joked casually, and after getting George’s consent, he first took the chewing gum as a reward, then picked up the rabbit toy from the unoccupied bed opposite George.

But as soon as he handled it, Li Cheng felt something was off.

The red-eyed rabbit’s eyes shone too brightly, and upon touching, he actually plucked out a pair of green contact lenses originally meant for human use.

The original color of the rabbit toy’s eyes was magenta, combining with the green contacts to form a true red.

[Item Name: Green Contact Lenses]

[Type: Wearable]

[Note: Cannot be taken out of the script world]

[Note: Custom-made special effect contact lenses, enabling the wearer to see invisible ink. Perhaps it could be hidden under the eyelid to sneak out?]

Wait, Scaven mentioned before that he saw William with green eyes.

Could these cosmetic contact lenses originally belong to William?

Li Cheng flipped the rabbit doll inside out, and on the inside of the product label, he saw the name "Freya."

He asked George if he knew this person Freya, but George seemed as if he had already finished all the plots, only repeating the phrase "Thank you, brother William."

Helpless, Li Cheng had to take the rabbit doll and return to the cafeteria to report back to old Martha.

"Thank you so much, William. Here, this is what my nephew brought me."

Martha gladly took the doll and handed Li Cheng a piece of plastic-wrapped ring-shaped hollow candy.

[Item Name: Super Hard Super Refreshing Mint Candy]

[Type: Food]

[Note: Cannot be taken out of the script world]

[Note: A magical candy that only melts after being chewed, able to fully invigorate the spirit and fend off the drowsiness caused by anesthetics. Perhaps it can be hidden under the tongue and sneakily taken out?]

[Note: This taste is way too good]

Li Cheng blankly stared at the candy and inwardly ranted: "Matches, cosmetic lenses, mint candy, why does everything have to be hidden and sneakily taken out? Is this a mental hospital or the highest level federal prison?

At this rate, will players next be asked to hide apples or durians on themselves?

And why does only the mint candy have a third note? Old lady, what does your nephew do outside?"

Li Cheng ranted internally but remained calm and composed on the face, took the mint candy, and ran toward the first floor.

In the medical records room on the first floor, that rat-man Scaven was still busy picking the lock until Li Cheng tapped his shoulder and he reacted, smelling the air, "I smell gum aroma, well done, you brought what I wanted so quickly.

Here’s the blade."

Scaven snatched the gum, chewed it until it was soft, then stuffed the softened gum into the filing cabinet lock, twisted it with a wire, pried open the cabinet, and started searching.

Li Cheng looked over his newly acquired scalpel blade which, like the lenses and mint candy, was also labeled as a prop by the system and suggested it could be hidden in the upper part of the mouth.

"The objective of this mission is to explore the hospital in five hours, staying alive.

The implicit meaning is, if you can’t explore the hospital and gather enough tools before the time limit, death is certain upon the end of the five hours."

Li Cheng silently thought, taking out the green cosmetic lenses and putting them in his right eye.

Normally, the central pupil area of cosmetic lenses is transparent, only having color around the periphery, so it does not affect vision color.

But these specially made lenses had a unique coating applied to the central pupil area, slightly darkening the view when worn.

When Li Cheng examined William’s medical records, he could see through the blackened parts and discover new information.

Name: William

Gender: Male

Age: Seventeen years and ten months

Condition: Schizophrenia

Date of admission: October 4

Upon admission, the left lower leg, right arm, ribs, and other areas were newly healed from fractures. The guardian, his father, reported a severe mountain climbing accident and subsequent stress disorder and schizophrenia.

Hypnosis results showed his deepest fear: watching his mother’s burial with his sister.

Li Cheng glanced over the medical records, turned to Scaven and asked, "Old Scaven, do you know of two people named Freya and Diane in the hospital?"

"I know Freya, the little girl in the children’s clinic on the second floor, seems to like you quite a bit. As for Diane, never heard of her. No medical records of such a person in here."

Scaven suddenly looked up, staring intently at Li Cheng, "They’ve come to take you away."

"Huh? Who are ’they’..."

Before Li Cheng could react, the scenery in front of him twisted violently, and some irresistible invisible force dragged him out of the records room and threw him into an elevator car.

Snap.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and the car ascended. Scaven, however, turned around woodenly, repeating the same phrase he had worn out, "Don’t interrupt me looking for files."
