Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 1581 Lost Clues
Based on Tang Qisheng's experience, the next day, the child and his mother were moved to the next floor down, the 3rd floor.
It was on this floor that the child's mother disappeared that night, and the child mentioned a hunchbacked doctor dragging a large pair of scissors.
In other words, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie, now on the 3rd floor of the hospital, are very likely to face the threat of this hunchbacked doctor tonight.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng noticed a very important time: 2:00 AM.
Someone will knock on the ward door at 2:00 AM, and all the misfortune will happen at this moment.
Jiang Cheng quickly sorted out this information, then told Tang Qisheng, and specifically mentioned the information of the boy who left the note: Yao Shunyu deduced from the bloodstained handprint that the child was likely injured, and his right index finger was missing, leaving only four fingers.
According to the information the child left behind, he decided to find his missing parents, because the lame grandpa in the same ward secretly told him that his parents were still here, downstairs in this hospital. The stranger the patient, the lower the floor they are locked on.
However, thinking of the corpse that had been cut apart and soaked in a large glass jar, Jiang Cheng thought that the possibility of the child's parents still being alive was slim. After all, the so-called lame grandpa only said that the child's parents were still in this hospital, but he didn't say whether they were dead or alive, or in what way they existed.
Being carved into bones and placed on a display stand, or having their hearts and lungs taken out and soaked in a large glass jar, are both forms of still being in this hospital.
Of course, what Jiang Cheng was most concerned about was this child. This child was undoubtedly an important clue. Jiang Cheng told Tang Qisheng the child's physical characteristics, hoping that he could find this child. He had a feeling that this child might still be alive.
After hearing the description of the hunchbacked doctor dragging large scissors, Tang Qisheng couldn't help but feel nervous. "A hunchbacked doctor will come knocking at two in the morning, and opening the door will result in being killed by his big scissors?"
"I'm afraid so." Jiang Cheng instructed, "Remember not to open the door. I'm not clear about the specific situation there, but I guess there might be room inspections on your floor tonight. You must be careful to distinguish the identity of the person knocking on the door."
"I... I understand." Tang Qisheng took a deep breath. This information was too important, but as long as they were vigilant, it shouldn't be difficult to get through this night.
But apart from that, Tang Qisheng was also interested in another matter. "But how did Yao Shunyu know about our hospital? We are clearly in two different worlds."
"Our three worlds are not completely isolated. I don't know how to explain it to you. You just need to know that when we are carrying out missions in our own worlds, we can simultaneously obtain survival tips from other worlds. I have already received the survival tips for Yao Shunyu's world for the next night, and the note that Yao Shunyu obtained contains information that you can use tonight." Jiang Cheng explained as simply as possible.
Tang Qisheng slowly widened his eyes, his voice becoming incredulous. "According to this logic, Zhu Jie and I should also be able to find some hints about your world."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng frowned, "What, didn't you find them?"
"No, the world you are in is a temple. We didn't find any relevant information, really nothing." Tang Qisheng carefully recalled, feeling nervous. He deeply understood what this meant for Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui.
Due to the lack of key hints, the danger faced by Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui tonight would far exceed that of the other two groups. A single wrong move could lead to casualties.
"I'm sorry, maybe we overlooked something. I... we'll go look for it now." Tang Qisheng was about to hang up the phone immediately. It wasn't too late yet, they still had time.
"Wait!" Jiang Cheng stopped him. "Don't panic. If you're going to look, there has to be a way to find it."
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Cheng spoke again: "If there's still a chance, I suggest you go to the exhibition center to take a look. There might be clues near the corpse."
"Okay, okay."
That strange electrical noise appeared again, but this time, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone in time. The chanting sound before gave him an unspeakable sense of crisis, as if there was an extremely terrifying existence in this Precept Holding Temple watching his every move.
After learning that Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie had not found any hints about his world, Fatty slapped his thigh in anger, but other than that, he had no better way. There wasn't much time left for them.
...
"How is it? Still can't get in touch?" Inside a dim tiled house, Li Bai looked at Yao Shunyu, who was constantly fiddling with his phone, with some urgency.
Just a while ago, Jiang Cheng, who was talking to them, suddenly hung up the phone without warning, and then there was no more news.
"No, we can't contact them anymore. I think they must be in trouble." Yao Shunyu put down his phone, looked up at the dark and heavy wooden door not far away, and his expression became solemn. There were faint rustling sounds outside the door, which was what Yao Shunyu was most worried about.
The villagers who came to deliver the letters earlier hadn't left. They were still waiting outside for a reply.
With the information behind the paper figure provided by Jiang Cheng, Yao Shunyu and Li Bai had determined that the path to survival tonight was hidden in the two options of killing and arson, so they would keep these two tasks for themselves.
However, according to the rules given by the villagers, one more person out of the remaining nine of them needed to be sent out to perform one of the tasks of repairing bridges and roads, which was the highlight of tonight.
Who should they send...
No matter who goes, the probability of this person surviving tonight is very low, and most importantly, two Night Watchmen, those second-generation Crimson that disappeared after being taken away, have also mixed in with these people.
If they wanted to end the mission cleanly and thoroughly, these two people had to be eliminated.
Therefore, the focus of the next mission was not only how to find clues to solve the mission, but also to identify the identities of the remaining teammates.
"We've seen those second-generation Crimson before. They are generally not very old. We can start with their age." Faces kept flashing through Li Bai's mind, all of whom were teammates in this mission. "I think that man surnamed Li is very suspicious. He said he was a student, and a college student who had studied abroad. Very few people could study abroad in this era. I don't think he has the temperament, and he has a... um... relatively unfamiliar feeling about this world, just like us."
As soon as he finished speaking, a noise suddenly broke out outside the door, followed by the crisp sound of a teacup breaking on the ground.
