Weird World.

To keep the mask from getting wet, Gu Yi had found a plastic bag in a clean trash can before entering the changing room to ambush Doctor Gui.

Gu Yi had already stolen the mask several times during his simulations. Like a seasoned criminal, he successfully swiped Doctor Gui's mask and once again witnessed the miserable sight of the doctor being hauled away by the Security Department.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Gu Yi watched Doctor Gui leave, retrieved the mask, and hid it in the restroom.

From the other doctors, Gu Yi learned that Doctor Gui was a recluse.

This was one of the reasons Gu Yi had no qualms about stealing the mask.

Most people didn't talk to Doctor Gui, so no one would even notice if he was sent to Room 0.

Gu Yi hid in the restroom and used his Innate Skill.

(Simulation start!)

(You put on the mask and left the restroom.)

(No one who saw you came forward to question you. You felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.)

(You went to the nurses' station and stole the ward key.)

(You hid the key in your clothes.)

(The nurses' station was busy, and people were starting to notice you.)

(Worried about being exposed, you quickly ducked into the restroom, put the mask and clothes in a trash bag, and hid it in the opening of a ventilation duct.)

(At 19:00, all the patients went to the treatment room.)

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

(You were injured, so the doctor granted you a week of rest.)

(As you entered the Special Care Ward, a nurse searched you.)

(She found the dinner fork and ward key you had hidden.)

(The nurse called the Security Department.)

(You paused the simulation.)

The moment he saw the Security Department, Gu Yi immediately stopped the simulation.

After his Spirit Power increased, he could now end the simulation at any time, which helped lessen the mental impact of the death scenes.

"Looks like this won't work. I'll try another way."

(Simulation start!)

(You stole the key using the same method as in the last simulation.)

(At 19:00, you swallowed the key and threw the dinner fork into the trash.)

(The nurse gave you a full-body search.)

(Nurse: Don't ever hide contraband on you again. Why are you so determined to do something foolish?)

(You: I'm sorry, it was a moment of foolishness.)

(Nurse: Here's your medicine for tonight. Take it now.)

(You swallowed the pills in front of the nurse.)

(Nurse: You're moving to a new ward tonight. I'll take you there.)

(The nurse led you to the ward, where you discovered your new roommate was Xu Nian.)

(Xu Nian was still in a coma.)

(You sat by the bed and threw up the key and the pills.)

(After waiting a while, you tried the key in the lock, but it wouldn't fit in the keyhole.)

(You had the wrong key.)

(You ended the simulation.)

"Good thing I ran a simulation first, otherwise I would have forgotten that detail."

Gu Yi slapped his forehead. He'd just remembered that the doctor had told him early this morning about moving to a new ward, but he had still stolen the key to his old one.

Moreover, because of his suicide attempt, the nurses were now searching him much more thoroughly. The mask and the 3D Glasses were highly sensitive items that would surely be confiscated, so Gu Yi had no choice but to hide them in the ventilation duct.

Following the method from his simulation, Gu Yi successfully got the key.

19:00 arrived.

Gu Yi obediently moved into his new ward. As soon as the nurse left, he immediately threw up the pills and the key.

"Blegh—"

Clutching the spittoon, Gu Yi wretched until he had thrown up everything, including his dinner. He rummaged through the vomit and finally found the key.

This time, he hadn't made a mistake.

Gu Yi glanced at his roommate. The man kept his eyes shut, fast asleep, and didn't say a word no matter how Gu Yi tried to provoke him.

"I should rest for a bit."

Gu Yi rested on the bed for a while. He didn't lie down completely, but dozed off while leaning against the wall. He planned to conserve his energy until after midnight, when he would use his Innate Skill to explore.

The clock struck 12:00.

Gu Yi opened his eyes.

Xu Nian was still fast asleep. Outside the hospital, it was pitch black, with only a few members of the Security Department standing guard at the main gate.

This was when everyone was at their most exhausted—the perfect time for him to go exploring.

"Begin simulation."

Gu Yi closed his eyes.

(Simulation start!)

(You got out of bed.)

(You successfully unlocked the door with the key.)

(You pushed the door open as carefully as possible. The nurse at the nurses' station was dozing and didn't notice your movements.)

(You tiptoed out and went straight to the restroom.)

(You took out the hidden mask and clothes and put them on.)

(With the mask for cover, you strolled brazenly through the hospital, and no one paid you any mind.)

(You entered the Fire Escape and headed for Basement Level 1.)

(The door to Basement Level 1 was locked, and you didn't dare use an Access Card to open it.)

(You had to find another way in.)

(You sat on the stairs and thought for a moment. It seemed Room 0 was on Basement Level 1.)

(This might be the only way to get into the basement level without an Access Card.)

(Unable to get to Basement Level -1, you decided to go upstairs.)

(The first floor was the inpatient department, the second floor held the treatment rooms, and you had never been to the third floor.)

(The door to the third floor was unlocked. You pushed it open and went in.)

(On the third floor, from east to west, were the following offices:)

(The General Affairs Office, Finance Office, Security Department, Specimen Room, Meeting Room, and the Dean's Office.)

(You peeked through the door of the General Affairs Office for a moment. The lights were on, and a few Elephant Masks were inside, but there was no one there.)

(You went to the Security Department.)

(It was pitch black inside the Security Department; you couldn't see a thing.)

(You went to the door of the Specimen Room. There were many cabinets inside, but it was too dark to see what kind of specimens they held.)

(You tried the doorknob and found that the Specimen Room was the only one that was unlocked.)

(You walked into the Specimen Room. Moonlight streamed in from outside, allowing you to see clearly without turning on the lights.)

(The room was filled with taxidermied animals of all kinds, but without exception, they were all several times larger than their real-world counterparts.)

(You noticed a toad specimen in the center of the room.)

(The toad was about the size of a palm, and there was a line of text beneath it.)

([The Toad is the natural enemy of ****].)

(The middle part was a string of garbled characters. You prepared to take off your mask to get a better look.)

(Just then, you suddenly heard a strange noise.)

(You turned your head and saw a tall monster standing before you.)

(Every time you closed your eyes, the monster got a little closer.)

(The monster let out a roar.)

(Your mask cracked from the force of it.)

(You quickly dashed into the Fire Escape.)

(You found the monster blocking your path.)

(The monster reached for your neck.)

(Everything went black.)

(The monster snapped your neck.)

(You died.)

(Simulation end!)
