Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Wobuju's Perfect Deduction
Wobuju started his plan for the day as soon as dawn broke.
He followed the routine from the day before and finished administering the medication to Wang Xiao'ai, then used the same method to feed Wang Hai.
Finally, he arrived at the focal point of the day, Bai Liu's room.
'Knock, knock, knock~'
Wobuju knocked on Bai Liu's door.
"Doctor Wobuju, right? Come in."
Wobuju didn't hesitate and pushed the door open.
Inside, Bai Liu leisurely closed the book she had in her hands.
"Miss Bai Liu, did you have something you wanted to tell me last night?"
Instead of answering Wobuju's question directly, Bai Liu smiled and brought up another topic.
"I don't really have anything to tell you; however, judging by the current situation, it seems you have little chance of curing us before the medicine runs out."
Wobuju's heart sank; he knew Bai Liu was right.
This Kaidan game required him to "cure your psychiatric patients."
But so far, Wobuju didn't have a single clue.
What difference did it make if the medical records were true?
He wasn't any kind of psychiatrist!
However, to Wobuju's surprise, Bai Liu seemed to know what would happen if he couldn't cure them after the medicine ran out.
"Hehe, Doctor Wobuju, there's no need to look at me like that. After all... you're not the first doctor to come to our psychiatric hospital."
What about the previous doctors?
Wobuju already knew without needing Bai Liu to tell him—they were all gone.
"Last night, did you say you heard voices?" Wobuju asked tentatively.
But now, Bai Liu clearly didn't want to discuss this topic.
"Alright, Doctor Wobuju, give me my six pills."
This exchange left Wobuju somewhat disappointed.
He had hoped to obtain some crucial information from Bai Liu.
As Wobuju was about to leave, Bai Liu suddenly threw out a cryptic remark.
"Doctor Wobuju, please be careful. After all, there isn't a single normal person in this hospital~"
No kidding, do I need you to tell me that?
Wait a minute!
Just as Wobuju stepped out of Bai Liu's room, an idea suddenly struck him, as if he had caught a significantly useful piece of information.
"Bai Liu said there are no 'normal' people in this hospital..."
"Could her words be interpreted in two ways?"
"One interpretation could be that everyone in the hospital except for herself is bizarre."
"The other, that no one is normal, could it possibly mean... everyone here is mentally ill?!"
"That everyone in the hospital except for oneself is mentally ill? It doesn't seem unreasonable!"
"From three outwardly mentally ill patients, to the dim-witted security guards, the perverted cafeteria auntie, and the eerie director afraid of light."
"Don't all these people fit the criteria of mental illness?"
"Then wouldn't that mean the medicine should also be administered to the security guards and the cafeteria auntie?"
"But no, that's not right."
Wait a minute, it's getting confusing...
Wobuju rubbed his temples, feeling he had taken the wrong path.
"The rules of Kaidan require me to cure mental illness, that's true."
"But it doesn't specify how many to cure; so does it mean curing even just one will suffice?"
"Or perhaps, the objective of Kaidan was initially to cure just one 'specific' mental illness!"
Yes, that must be it!
Otherwise, everyone is a normal person, and not a psychiatrist.
As everyone knows, Kaidan isn't a game where death is certain; there must be a way to break the game.
Considering these chosen ones with diverse backgrounds, it's impossible to cure everyone in the hospital, not to mention just curing the three individuals like Wang Xiao'ai.
No, it seems I must visit the director's office again.
Intuition told Wobuju, the key to breaking the game must be there!
With this thought, Wobuju headed briskly to the director's office.
And the proud people of Lighthouse Country deeply admired Professor Wobuju.
"Look! That's the strength of our professor!"
"Oh, so the key to breaking the case is not in curing the mental illness—damn Kaidan, it's so misleading."
"But it's okay, our doctor is the smartest, you know he never lets us down!"
"Guys, watch this, our doctor is starting to make a move!"
'Dong Dong Dong~'
Wobuju knocked on the office door of the dean.
"Come in, please!"
The vibrant voice of the dean came from inside, sounding completely different from the sickly voice from last night!
Wobuju pushed the door and entered, only to see the dean intently studying some documents.
Seeing Wobuju enter, the dean smiled warmly at him twice.
Something was definitely off.
The key to breaking the case had to be with the dean!
"Dr. Wobuju, have you finished your work so early today? Your professional level is really superb."
The dean looked Wobuju up and down with satisfaction.
"Yes, the patients are in good condition, and they all obediently took their medication."
"That's the best, is there anything else? I'm busy with other things here."
Clearly, the dean was giving him the brush-off.
"It's about those three patients, the medical records you gave me last night were far from detailed..."
Upon hearing Wobuju mention the medical records, the dean's face visibly changed.
"Dr. Wobuju, are you suggesting that I concealed the patients' conditions?"
The more off the other party acted, the closer he was to the truth.
"Sorry, Dean, it was a slip of the tongue, but Wang Xiao'ai seems a bit different today, I was hoping you could help me take a look."
"Okay, I'll come and have a look after I finish my work here."
Wobuju thanked him and then left the room.
But he didn't return to his office; instead, he went to the room closest to the dean's office, which was the third ward—Bai Liu's room.
"Oh? Dr. Wobuju, why have you come back so soon?"
Bai Liu greeted Wobuju amicably.
However, Wobuju did not speak, only leaned against the door to eavesdrop.
It wasn't until he heard the dean leave and start walking towards Wang Xiao'ai that he made his move.
Destination, the dean's office!
Time was limited, he had to act quickly!
After scanning the area, except for last night's cabinet, the only other place for files was the dean's drawers.
Wobuju's palms were soaked with excited sweat.
He did not know what would happen if he were caught red-handed by the dean...
The first few drawers were all filled with documents.
In the bottom drawer, Wobuju finally found a black notebook.
But by then, he could already hear the dean coming back.
Steady hands, calm heart, he must not panic at this moment!
Wobuju stuffed the notebook directly into his pants and stood properly at the front of the dean's office.
"Ah? Dean, I was just about to go find Wang Xiao'ai with you; where did you suddenly disappear to?"
The dean, touching his bald spot, asked Wobuju warmly.
"Really? I thought you had already gone; by the way, where did you go just now?"
The dean's seemingly light question carried a chilling undertone of threat.
Wobuju could swear on the Virgin Mary's chastity.
If his answer didn't satisfy the dean, he wouldn't live to see tomorrow's sun.
"Oh, I saw you were busy just now, so I thought I'd take a quick look at Bai Liu then join you to find Wang Xiao'ai. I've just come out of Bai Liu's room."
This explanation, seamless!
If the dean doubted him, he could simply pull up the surveillance footage to check!
As expected, the dean didn't seem suspicious, just mentioned that Wang Xiao'ai's condition had somewhat improved and there was nothing else wrong.
When Wobuju finally left the dean's office, he realized his pants were soaked with sweat.
Steady, this was secure!
Wobuju felt certain that this notebook contained the answers he was looking for!
