Chapter 19: Angel? Devil? (4)
"I can't run anymore, don't chase me, brother."
The little girl plopped down on the ground.
Gu Yi grinned and sat beside the little girl.
With a sudden leap, the little girl hopped onto Gu Yi's back, showing no signs of fatigue.
"Brother, carry me."
"Okay."
Gu Yi turned around and held the little girl in his arms. The little girl turned her head, glanced at Gu Yi, and happily asked, "Brother, my name is Yao Yao, what's your name?"
Gu Yi was momentarily stunned.
"My name is Gu Yi."
"Why did you come to this hospital, brother?"
"I don't know either."
"I don't think you're much different from us. I don't think you're sick at all."
"Is that so?"
"I will definitely tell my dad. He can get you discharged early."
"Where is your dad?"
"He's very busy. I don't know what he's busy with. He never plays with me."
As Yao Yao spoke, she pouted in grievance and then fell asleep in Gu Yi's arms.
Gu Yi let out a long sigh.
The child was so exhausted, and Gu Yi must have been mentally and physically drained as well.
This exhaustion wasn't just physical, but mostly mental.
[Nanny Handbook] is actually all misleading, or maybe he misjudged a child.
Although Yao Yao is a monster, fundamentally she is still a child.
Even though she makes some terrifying requests - like eating your brain or eating your liver.
But those are all part of her game.
It's like when playing house, using leaves as vegetables.
All I need to do is agree with her and participate in her pretend play; she would never actually eat my brain or liver.
—She only wants to play games and act with me.
That's why those two sentences are written on the back of [Nanny Handbook.]
"She's a devil!"
"She's very cute, isn't she?"
Don't see her as a devil.
See her as a lovely girl.
In all five scenarios, Gu Yi never opened Yao Yao's heart, and she never asked him what his name was from beginning to end.
Only this time.
They not only exchanged names but also gained friendship.
Even when Gu Yi played, he didn't rigidly follow the rules, yet he still safely survived.
Gu Yi held Yao Yao in his arms, silently contemplating.
This mission gave Gu Yi a great revelation.
In this scenario, "perspective" and "mindset" are very important.
If Gu Yi regards Yao Yao as an ordinary child, then [Nanny Handbook] holds no meaning for him, and he can play with the child safely.
If Gu Yi sees Yao Yao as a man-eating monster, then [Nanny Handbook] becomes a guide that leads him into the abyss, and no matter what, he will eventually die.
Let's consider the doctor's mask as well.
To the doctor, the live toads have no significance, so when Gu Yi wears the mask in the specimen room, he cannot discern the hints on the specimens.
But as a patient, Gu Yi can see those crucial hints.
Because in the patient's world, toads eat spiders.
But in the doctor's world, toads don't eat spiders.
However, these two contradictory rules can coexist in this scenario.
This may be the true power of the "Unspeakable."
With this in mind, Gu Yi suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He vaguely felt that he had found the key technique to deciphering.
To prove this point, Gu Yi only needed to experience it firsthand.
"Time is up."
The shop owner came to the backyard and gently patted Gu Yi's shoulder.
Gu Yi stood up and handed the sleeping Yao Yao to the shop owner.
"What is your relationship with Yao Yao?" Gu Yi asked.
"I am her uncle."
"So, the dean is your brother?"
"Yes."
"I feel like I've never seen the dean in the hospital."
"Him? He's busy making big money. How can you still meet him? Hehe..."
The shop owner smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gu Yi felt that perhaps the dean's identity and whereabouts could be one of the clues to clearing the scenario.
"Forget it, don't mention that bastard." The shop owner gestured to Gu Yi with his mouth. "Follow me, I'll take you to get the toad."
Gu Yi followed behind the shop owner and entered the shop.
The shop owner rummaged through boxes and found the liveliest toad, handing it to Gu Yi.
The toad was contained in a glass jar.
The glass jar had strong sound insulation, so no matter how much the toad jumped or croaked inside, no sound could be heard from outside.
"Take good care of it. It's best to stir-fry it with bean paste. You can borrow some from the kitchen."
Gu Yi was momentarily stunned.
So these monsters consider toads as ingredients for cooking?
The source of this is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
"Thank you, shop owner."
Gu Yi concealed the toad in his arms. He returned to the square, found a patch of grass, lay down, closed his eyes, and restored his depleted mental energy.
The bell rang at 12 p.m.
All the patients rushed into the hospital.
Instead of going to the cafeteria immediately, Gu Yi turned and went to the toilet. From the ventilation duct opening, he retrieved 3D glasses, an access card, and a bird beak mask. Then he hid in the toilet and activated his special talent.
(The deduction begins!)
(You have hidden several important items in your arms.)
(Holding the access card, you go straight to the door on the basement and swipe the card.)
(The security department immediately appears in front of you.)
(Security: Why do you have Dr. Gui's access card? He should have been fired.)
(You: Fired? Shouldn't he be dead? Killed by the big spider?)
(Security: I don't know what you're talking about.)
(The security officer doesn't say much to you. He grabs you and teleports you to Room 0.)
(The security officer doesn't even bother to search the room properly. He's too lazy.)
(You are thrown into the room.)
(The sound of crawling comes from the ceiling.)
(You hurriedly take out the live toad from your arms and smash the bottle with force.)
(The toad crawls out of the bottle.)
(It hops and jumps, hiding in a corner.)
(You call out loudly, hoping the toad could help, but the toad couldn't possibly understand human language.)
(The spider's compound eyes flicker with red light in the darkness.)
(The spider crawls towards you as if it is flying.)
(You keep retreating until you hit the wall.)
(Your heart race.)
(Is the toad useless?)
(The spider's fangs are already at the tip of your nose.)
(Your vision goes completely dark.)
