Chapter 1: Eerie Space, Instant Death at the Start
A messy room.
Yellowed walls.
Blood, hair, and limbs were scattered all over the floor...
The pungent smell of blood woke Gu Yi up. He struggled to get up from the ground and stared blankly at his palms.
"Where am I?"
Gu Yi looked around.
A cold voice pierced his ears.
[Welcome to the Weird Space. Please remain cautious and calm as it will determine whether you can survive in this world.]
Gu Yi shivered all over, his heart pounding in his throat. "Did I really end up in the Weird Space?"
This world is controlled by the "Weird Space."
Every so often, the Weird Space will extract a group of humans to venture into the Weird world. They will represent their respective countries to challenge the Weird world.
If the challenge fails, the monsters in the Weird Space will invade the country they represent.
Gu Yi felt his throat tighten, his palms sweating, and his mind still blank.
"Calm down, calm down..."
Gu Yi took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervous and fearful emotions.
He had lived in the Dragon Country for twenty years, and he had developed a deep attachment to this country.
Even if not for himself, he had to be brave for the country, for his parents, siblings, and fellow citizens!
Gu Yi regained his composure and took a deep breath.
At this point, the cold voice rang in his mind again.
[As a first-time adventurer in the Weird Space, you are entitled to one free talent draw.]
[Would you like to draw?]
Gu Yi's mood gradually calmed down upon hearing this.
Each adventurer can draw a lottery and obtain an initial talent upon entering the Weird space for the first time.
Some of these talents can strengthen the adventurer's physical strength, making their movements more agile; others can enhance their mental strength, preventing them from being easily frightened by the monsters in the Weird space.
It is widely recognized worldwide that talents that enhance physical strength are the most practical initial talents in the entire space, as many levels can be passed by simply escaping.
At first, because he was too nervous, Gu Yi had forgotten about this, and it was not until the space reminded him that he remembered.
"Draw talent."
Ding Ding Ding.
A bell rang in Gu Yi's ears.
[Congratulations to the adventurer for obtaining the SSS-level talent - (Infinite Deduction)!]
[The skill of Infinite Deduction can assist adventurers in predicting all possible future events. Each deduction requires a certain amount of the host's mental power. By silently stating the intention to begin deduction, the be used.]
[The deduction is immediate and completed instantly, without affecting the progress in reality.]
[At present, the adventurer's mental power is 50/50.]
Infinite Deduction?
Gu Yi's eyes shimmered, and although he didn't quite understand the specific function of [Infinite Deduction], just hearing the SSS-level was enough to make him feel at ease.
The probability of obtaining an SSS-level talent is one in ten million.
The last adventurer who awakened an SSS-level talent passed five levels in a row, while other players could only pass an average of one to two levels.
Gu Yi had not yet had the chance to explore his own talent when the surrounding scene changed again and his body involuntarily became like a puppet, completely at the mercy of others.
At this moment, Gu Yi was lying on a hospital bed, unable to move, and the sound of the system's prompt came to his ears again.
[The dungeon is about to open, please prepare yourselves, adventurers.]
[Dungeon Name] The Famous Doctor
[Dungeon Introduction] Every night, you see your fellow patients disappear one after another, but when you ask those around you, they insist that they have never seen this patient. You are very worried, afraid that one day you will also suddenly disappear...
[Clearance Conditions]
[1. Perfect Level: Investigate the truth behind Chongshan Hospital and catch the "unspeakable."
2. Excellent Level: Successfully escape from Chongshan Hospital.
3. Normal Level: Survive in Chongshan Hospital for one month.]
The pressure on Gu Yi's body disappeared, and he regained his freedom, but he didn't rush to get up from the bed. Instead, he closed his eyes and silently recited in his mind.
"Begin deduction."
(Deduction begins!)
(You use your talent skill for the first time, feeling excited.)
(You get up from the bed and observe the environment around you.)
(This is an ICU, with a bed against the wall, a bedside table next to the bed, and clothes scattered on the floor, as well as an empty cardboard box.)
(You turn around and open the window.)
(There is a fence outside the window, which is very strong and it is impossible to escape from the window.)
(You turn around and try to find clues in the ward.)
(The ward's door is locked from the outside and cannot be opened.)
(You come to the side of the bed, uncover the sheets, mattress, and bedding, but find no clues or hints.)
(You turn your head towards the bedside table and open the first drawer, finding only some pills and miscellaneous items inside.)
(Knock knock knock - - - )
(There is a knocking sound outside the door and someone asking about your condition.)
(You don't answer.)
(The door opens and a doctor and two nurses walk into the ward.)
(The doctor and nurses are all wearing bird masks.)
(The doctor glances at you and checks the first drawer.)
(He takes off his mask and his head immediately turns into a monster's appearance.)
(A bloody red scene appears in front of you.)
(You died.)
(Deduction ends.)
"Ah!"
Gu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh.
The simulated scene was too realistic, even the feeling of the monster piercing his heart was perfectly simulated. It can be regarded as experiencing a real death.
In the first deduction, Gu Yi didn't even leave the ward and was killed by the monster doctor without even finding any useful clues.
"Damn it, why did I die without doing anything? What kind of instant death flag did I trigger?"
At this moment, Gu Yi's mental power became 40/50, it seemed that it would cost 10 mental power to perform each deduction.
In other words, Gu Yi must find effective clues in the remaining four deductions, otherwise, there will only be one dead end.
Gu Yi only got one useful piece of information, which is that the doctors in the hospital are monsters. And he must have missed some crucial information, which caused him to be suddenly killed by the doctor.
"Calm down, I must have missed something. Let's do it again, begin deduction!"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yi closed his eyes again.
(The deduction begins!)

(You learned from your previous failure and didn't wander around aimlessly. Instead, you focused on finding clues to clear the dungeon.)
(Instead of searching the bed, you turned your attention to the bedside table.)
(The bedside table has three drawers. You had already checked the first, so you started from the second) freewebnøvel.coɱ
(The second was empty.)
(On the third, you found only a fruit knife, which you put in your pocket.)
(You still hadn't found any clues, so you lay down on the ground and finally found a note under the bed, near the wall.)
(You took off your shoes and retrieved the note from the corner of the wall.)
(The note was a hint.)
