Chapter 342 The Truth and the Patient
"game?"
Looking at the words that appeared on the paper, Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment.
This is my own handwriting again.
But Jiang Lin still has no memory of when she wrote this sentence.
Did you write it when you were insane or lost your memory?
wrong……
As soon as this idea emerged, Jiang Lin immediately rejected herself in her heart.
Because this line of words "emerges"!
If it appears on an electronic screen, this is a normal phenomenon.
But the problem is...
What he is holding in his hand now is a paper notebook - even the size of a palm.
Writing appears out of thin air on this kind of paper, which is simply the work of some kind of supernatural force.
Of course, there are more reasonable explanations...
"I might actually be in the 'game'."
And when Jiang Lin had this idea, she quickly felt strong doubts and wavering in her heart.
wrong……
Obviously all this is so real, why is it a game?
Jiang Lin felt slightly dizzy.
A new idea emerged uncontrollably.
if……
Is it "surreal" plus "game"?
The idea suddenly occurred to her.
Then, the moment the idea came up, Jiang Lin knew...
"It can't be true, right?"
If this is not true, why would I have such an idea?
She calmly turned the vocabulary book in her hand to the next page.
"The goal of the game is to escape from the madhouse, but now it seems that it has failed..."
Jiang Lin continued to scroll down.
"You're not a patient, keep that in mind - because you can lose your memory over and over again."
"This isn't the first time I've tried it."
"This madhouse will not only allow your memory to be modified, but will also constantly 'reset' it, trapping you in reincarnation."
"I am you in the past, and I am you with complete memories."
"Use more [props]."
"You have two teammates, Max and May."
"Max is a lively and outgoing woman who wears gold-rimmed glasses and is in the ward on the second floor; May may have been sacrificed in the wine cellar on the basement floor of this lunatic asylum."
"Beware of fog and sea water."
"If you forget how to take out the props, I have left a final backup, stored on the fifth floor."
"Other patients are at risk and medical staff cannot be trusted."
Jiang Lin turned to the end, and all the hints had appeared.
She had to admit...
This confusing reminder here and there is very much like the cook's own arm.
Jiang Lin could imagine what she must have been like when she was hurriedly writing down these things.
"So I'm really in a game..."
She carefully put the notebook away and then stood up.
At this time, the woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses also looked at Jiang Lin.
"Eh? Are you done?"
"Well... I've finished reading," Jiang Lin nodded, "Anyway, I know your name... or code name."
The woman with gold-rimmed glasses was very excited, but also a little surprised: "What is it? How do you know?"
"Your name was recorded in what the boy gave me just now," Jiang Lin said, "Your name should be Max."
The woman with gold-rimmed glasses fell into thinking after hearing this: "Hmm... Max? I'm pretty sure this is not my real name, but a code name."
Jiang Lin also felt that this was probably a code name, but she couldn't help but ask.
"How are you sure?"
"Because it sounds like a foreigner's name. Although my parents' memory is a bit blurry, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give me such a weird name."
Max said seriously.
Jiang Lin also nodded.
She was convinced by Max's accent that this guy's real name should definitely not be that.
"Anyway, the book also said," she hesitated, and finally said, "You and I should both be 'players'?"
"Player?"
Max was very curious.
"Yes, the world we are in, this madhouse is a game," Jiang Lin whispered, "This is not a real world, but a game world, and we are players whose memories have been manipulated and mistakenly believe that this is the real world. "
"Oh, you mean like The Matrix?"
Max was stunned.
Jiang Lin always felt that something was wrong, but she still nodded: "You can put it that way... But I vaguely feel that it is not on the technological side, but something more metaphysical and supernatural..."
She muttered, and Max rubbed his chin and spoke.
"I understand what you mean...these details are not important. In short, the reason why you came to me is because you and I are both players?"
"right."
Jiang Lin was relieved to see Max being so forthcoming. She thought it would take some time to convince this guy.
It seems now...
Max should have subconsciously realized something was wrong, just like him.
So she is very transparent.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin decided to go one step further.
"In short, our goal seems to be to escape from this madhouse..."
"And this is not the first time we have tried. It will be reincarnated over and over again."
Jiang Lin lowered her voice and shook the word notebook in her hand.
"Although I don't know where the boy just now came from, the notebook he gave me contains information left by my past self."
"So... we have to act together!"
Max nodded seriously after hearing this.
"I have completely understood, but if we want to escape, where should we go next?"
"Fifth floor!"
Jiang Lin said firmly.
The word notebook mentioned the use of [props], but Jiang Lin could not remember what [props] were and how to use them.
But fortunately, it seems that the past self also anticipated this situation - "If you forget how to take out the props, I have left a last backup, stored on the fifth floor."
So, Jiang Lin now plans to go to the fifth floor immediately.
That is the area where examinations and critically ill patients are located. It stands to reason that ordinary patients like them cannot go up there.
But Jiang Lin knows...
She is not a real patient.
She is a player!
Based on this premise, the idea that "the fifth floor cannot be visited" that was deeply implanted in her mind might even be a means for this game to prevent her from recognizing the truth.
So...
Jiang Lin insisted on going to the fifth floor.
"Let's go, Max, let's go upstairs quietly now."
When she was about to take Max upstairs, she suddenly found that...
The woman with gold-rimmed glasses beside her was gone.
Just as Jiang Lin looked around in confusion, she suddenly found Max at the corner walking over with two tall doctors.
"Yes, doctor, that's her."
"This patient from the fourth floor seems to be ill, saying that he wants to escape from the asylum and wants to take me with him!"
