Chapter 12: Stealing the Mask
(You hold Dr. Gui's mask and access card in your hand, unable to explain yourself.)
(Dr. Gui grabs your head and slams it hard against the wall of the room.)
(Your head is smashed into the wall.)
(Your vision turns blood red.)
(You died.)
"Damn it..."
Gu Yi was so scared that he leaned back and hit the wall behind him.
Dying so many times, but it was the first time he died by hitting the wall.
This Dr. Gui looks gentle and cultured, but why is he so much more ruthless than those nurses when he gets violent?
"Let's try again, but be more careful this time."
(Deduction begins!)
(You sit on a bench and reflect on your mistakes.)
(You decide to change your approach to theft.)
(You have already bypassed the surveillance cameras and pedestrians many times, so your actions are very skilled.)
(Just like last time, you quietly wait behind the , waiting for an opportunity.)
(Dr. Gui goes to the shower room to take a shower as usual.)
(You carefully pry open Dr. Gui's and take out the mask and access card.)
(You know that Dr. Gui will definitely come out to look for you after discovering the loss, so you decide to find a place to hide the stolen items.)
(You take off your clothes and wrap the items up.)
(You walk to the corner of the room, lift the drain cover, and hide the items in the sewer pipe.)
(You take the opportunity to escape the room.)
(You hide in a blind spot and observe Dr. Gui.)
(He goes in and out of the room door, looking more and more panicked.)
(After a while, the security personnel with teleportation abilities arrived next to Dr. Gui.)
(Security: Where is your mask?)
(Dr. Gui: Um... I'm looking for it.)
(Security: You have three minutes left.)
(Dr. Gui covering his cheeks.)
(Dr. Gui: I can't find it. My was broken into, and someone stole my things!)
(Security: We checked the surveillance footage, and no one entered the room during this time. Don't be cunning, come with us.)
(Dr. Gui: You can't treat me like this.)
(Security: According to the rules, whether you lost it or it was stolen, you must accept punishment. Come with us!)
(Dr. Gui: No, no!)
(Dr. Gui's screams echoed in the hallway.)
(You waited outside the room for a while, and after confirming that there was no one around, you went in and took out the mask and access card.)
(You put on the doctor's work clothes, put on the mask, and hid in the toilet.)
(You found the mask usage manual in the pocket of the doctor's shirt.)
([Mask Usage Manual])
(1. Please keep your mask properly. If the mask is lost for more than ten minutes, security will send you to Room 0.)
(2. The paint on the mask is water-soluble and will lose its luster within three days after getting wet. If your mask peels off, please look for the staff wearing the elephant mask to help you repaint it.)
(3. Each person can only apply for a mask once, and it cannot be reported lost or reissued.)
(4. The mask is your identity, please do not violate your doctor's duties.)
(After reading the instructions on using the mask, you finally understand why Dr. Gui was so nervous after losing his mask.)
(Losing the mask is like losing your life.)
(Another thing to note is that if you wear the mask in front of others, you are likely to be exposed.)
(Here, the doctors may have the ability to recognize people through their masks. Last time you borrowed Dr. Gui's mask to save a patient, the emergency doctor directly called out "Dr. Gui's" name.)
(You can only use the mask to fool people who are not familiar with Dr. Gui.)
(And, you just hid the mask in the sewer, and it has already gotten wet. In three days, the paint on the mask will start to peel.)
(But even so, the mask's functionality is still very powerful.)
(After putting on the mask, you can use the doctor's perspective to observe the world and obtain more clues.)
(You put on the mask and walked out of the toilet.)
(You decided to test the mask's abilities.)
(No one questioned or stopped you.)
(You gained great freedom.)
(You walked confidently to the computer.)
(You remembered the patient number of the female patient who was taken away by the Deer-headed man in the afternoon.)
(You entered the number on the computer.)
(The system prompts that your permission is insufficient to access the information.)
(You nodded, finally finding the commonality between you and the female patient.)
(You chatted with the nurse next to you.)
(You: Why can't we access this patient's medical record?)
(Nurse: I don't know, go ask the archives.)
(You: Okay.)
(Wearing a mask, you enter the elevator.)
(Using your access card, you arrive at the basement level.)
(As soon as the elevator door opens, the security personnel appears in front of you instantly.)
(They stare at you intently.)
(Security: Dr. Gui? Aren't you supposed to be in Room 0? How did you escape?)
(You: You've got the wrong person.)
(The security personnel rush forward and press you down to the ground.)
(They remove your mask and discover that you are an impostor.)
(Security: You dare to steal? Go reflect in Room 0!)
(You are taken to Room 0 by security.)

(You are bitten to death by a giant spider monster.)
(Deduction ends.)
Gu Yi opened his eyes and thought carefully.
Encountering security personnel after exiting the elevator was not a coincidence; they must have tracked him down through some means.
The masks were registered with real names, and the access card was probably the same.
It must have been using Dr. Gui's access card that led the security personnel to him.
Gu Yi decided not to continue the deduction. Since he had found a way to safely obtain the mask, his purpose in the deduction had been achieved.
He wasn't in a rush to go to the basement yet; he needed to make use of the mask first and find a way to move and explore freely at night.
Gu Yi got up and left, heading straight to the toilet. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
...
In the real world.
When Gu Yi successfully used the ruse to trick the doctor and nurse and successfully escaped from the treatment room, the audience immediately erupted.
"Wow, Yi is amazing!"
"Those who want to immigrate to Lighthouse Country, go ahead; I still want to live in Dragon Country where there are no Weird powers."
"Don't celebrate too early, guys. The death rate of this dungeon so far is almost 100%! And up to now, there are no crucial clues found by Gu Yi yet."
The Dragon Country's strategy team watched Gu Yi's gameplay video repeatedly, summarizing the strategies to clear the dungeon.
"This kid Gu Yi is far more intelligent and brave than we imagined."
"The move of stabbing himself to attract attention was so brilliant."
"But what should he do next? The first time he used the feigned illness trick to avoid treatment, but what about the second time? He still needs to go back to the treatment room after he recovers."
"That's right. You can see that the hospital's security measures have become even stricter now. They search every patient going in and out of the ward, and they don't even allow fruit knives in the ward."
The real-world audience could see more details, and they also noticed that the hospital's management of patients had become even stricter.
Gu Yi's feigned illness trick could only be used once.
But what to do next?
No one knew.
