Chapter 574 This is the root of the cycle
Lin Feng let out a soft sigh, silently reflecting in his heart:
Bai Xu, thank you for risking your life to give me the last five points of favorability.
If you're reincarnated in your next life, remember to choose a more well-behaved younger brother.
The two entered the restroom and soon saw Bai Xu's physical body in the middle stall.
His back was against the wall, his eyes were tightly closed, and his skin was pale and bloodless, like a lifeless wax figure, completely still.
Old Zhou stepped forward, intending to carry the person back to the office to deal with them and then figure out how to put them in his suitcase.
Lin Feng raised his hand to stop him: "No need for that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in mid-air. An invisible force wrapped around Bai Xu's body and steadily put him into his personal space.
Space rules prohibit the storage of living beings, but Bai Xu's soul has dissipated and he is already a corpse, so he is naturally not subject to these restrictions.
When the two returned to office 312, Su Wan's gaze towards Lin Feng completely changed.
It was no longer the distant and restrained way a section chief viewed his subordinates, but rather overflowing with the tenderness and affection unique to a wife.
She has regained all her memories of Lin Feng, especially clearly remembering her thoughts and feelings before entering the dungeon:
Make sure your husband reaches the maximum favorability rating as soon as possible so you can have some sweet moments together in the dungeon.
In just three days, Lin Feng had amassed a huge amount of goodwill, which truly pleased her.
After all, this dungeon lasts for ten days, and then we can enjoy delicious food for the next seven days.
Compared to Xia Ning, she really hit the jackpot!
[Ding! The exclusive bond ability between the host and Su Wan has been unlocked—Twin Deduction!]
[When the two are within ten meters of each other, the host's energy consumption for activating Infinite Deduction is halved, and the deduction footage can be shared with Su Wan's mind in real time.]
[Su Wanke can use her S-level perception to provide additional clues for the deduction, making the deduction results more accurate.]
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
The advantage of deduction is that one can know the outcome without personally taking risks, but the cost is that it is extremely mentally and physically exhausting.
Now that consumption has been halved, it has undoubtedly greatly alleviated its own burden.
The shared view eliminates the tedious process of repeatedly exchanging information, and Su Wan's advanced perception can perfectly fill in the blind spots in the deduction. It's truly the perfect tool for exploring the secrets of this hospital.
Su Wan glanced at Old Zhou and asked in a low voice, "Where is Bai Xu's body?"
"Lin Feng put it into his personal space," Old Zhou replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Su Wan's gaze returned to Lin Feng's face: "Won't this pollute the space? There's still a lot of food stored inside."
Lin Feng smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I've set aside a separate area for him, and the space has its own refrigeration and preservation function."
Su Wan nodded, her tone softening slightly: "Thank you for saving me just now."
"To express my gratitude, I've decided to personally escort you back to the psychiatric ward, so you won't be late and have no way to explain it to the medical staff, and you won't be punished for nothing."
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Section Chief Su."
The two left office 312 one after the other.
As Lin Feng descended to the first floor and was about to step out the door, Su Wan gently tugged at his arm: "Go to the basement."
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, then understood—the gluttonous girl couldn't wait any longer.
He turned around as instructed and followed her into the inner staircase, going down to the basement level.
The corridor was lined with tightly closed doors. Su Wan walked straight to room number 19, stopped, glanced back at him, and her eyes slightly upturned.
"This is the temporary personnel management department's private archive room, and I am the only one authorized to access the door."
As she spoke, she took the brass key from her waist, slowly turned the iron gate, and pressed the switch on the wall.
The old incandescent bulb overhead suddenly lit up with a "hum," spreading its dim yellow light and enveloping the entire archive room in an ambiguous warm color.
Su Wan then closed the door behind her, locking it with a "click".
The archive room was long and narrow, with floor-to-ceiling metal filing cabinets lining both sides, neatly stacked yellowed files, and the air was filled with the musty smell of paper and a faint chill.
Before Lin Feng could even look around, Su Wan couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
Lin Feng raised his hand and flicked the tip of her nose: "So impatient, huh? Nobody's going to take it from you."
Su Wan relaxed slightly, raised an eyebrow at him, and said matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I'm in a hurry. What are you going to do about it?"
Lin Feng chuckled softly: "I can't bear to bite it... but I'm a little thirsty right now, honey."
Su Wan's eyes darted around, and she playfully pushed him away: "Well—that depends on how you perform."
Lin Feng puffed out his chest solemnly: "Don't worry, I will teach you everything I know, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Su Wan glanced at the iron gate and urged softly, "We don't have much time left, so hurry up."
Lin Feng nodded crisply: "Received."
The next second, the live stream screen suddenly went black, and the familiar piano piece "Canon" began to play.
........................
Twenty minutes later, the live stream screen lit up again.
The two were already dressed.
Su Wan's cheeks still had a faint blush, and her eyes held a hint of lingering enjoyment.
Fortunately, she and Lin Feng lived in the same dormitory building, so they had plenty of time to meet at night and there was no need to rush.
The two walked out of the archives one after the other and headed down the corridor toward the stairwell.
Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Wan'er, what's the origin of these skull marks on my arm?"
Su Wan paused, snapped her fingers, and an invisible barrier quietly opened, isolating the two from each other's conversation within a small space.
"It is a counter for the number of copy cycles."
Her tone grew heavier. "I vaguely found out that the root of this hospital's endless cycle can be traced back to a tragic medical accident ten years ago."
Lin Feng's expression hardened: "What accident?"
"Back then, more than 100 infected people were sent to Yongshan Hospital. They were carrying a highly contagious and virulent virus, and there were no effective drugs available in the hospital."
"To prevent the spread of the virus, the hospital directly and forcibly isolated this group of people in the ward."
"The virus gradually eroded reason, morale collapsed within the quarantine zone, and ultimately everyone killed each other, with no one surviving."
"In order to prevent the virus from leaking out, the hospital burned all the bodies in a large fire afterwards."
Su Wan sighed softly and continued, "The resentment of more than a hundred people who died unjustly has accumulated and cannot be dispersed, forming a huge field of resentment that drags the entire hospital into a cycle."
"As for the complete operating mechanism, activation path, and zeroing method, the records in the hospital are missing, and I have not been able to piece together the complete picture."
Lin Feng seemed to be thinking about something, and then replied:
"Last night I was lying in bed and I heard a piano piece playing repeatedly on the hospital's loudspeaker."
"Perhaps the broadcasting room is the key to the loop."
As they spoke, the two had already reached the lobby on the first floor.
Su Wan looked around and whispered, "Take me there tonight to check it out. Let's not talk about this now."
Lin Feng nodded, remaining silent, but he had already made up his mind—
Tonight, we can just use the infinite deduction method with Su Wan; there's no need to actually put ourselves in danger.
