Chapter 142: The Morgue's Grid Game

Chapter 142: The Morgue's Grid Game
Luo Xi guessed that this was a "story game" that existed in the second ward.

Because similar situations have been encountered before, it is still easy to make a judgment.

Luo Xi said he wanted to see it, so Li Quansheng said, "Then let you see it for yourself."

So he pushed the lonely body in the room into the morgue with the door open.

"See clearly? Push it in, close the door, and lock the bolt." Li Quansheng said while demonstrating.

Then he pulled Luo Xi out and opened the door immediately.

"Look!"

Sure enough, the body that had been pushed into the morgue a second ago reappeared on the trolley in the room that had been empty.

It's weird indeed.

If someone who doesn't know the situation suddenly encounters such a thing, he will definitely be frightened. He may even think about it carefully and then imagine all kinds of horrible scenes in his mind to scare himself.

Luo Xi didn't have any such messy thoughts. He went in and observed carefully, then turned to Li Quansheng and said, "It's quite magical."

"Magical? It's more weird. That's why the cabinet in the lower right corner of this morgue can't be used at all. So this is the only way."

"What if you put the body in, leave, and I stay here? Will I be able to see how the body is taken out?" Luo Xi put forward a hypothesis at this time.

As a result, when Li Quansheng heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"Brother Luo, don't joke around. It could kill people."

"Dead person? How do you mean?" Luo Xi was very curious.

"Before, I heard other security guards use the method you mentioned. Two people, one stayed in the morgue, and the other went out, then closed the door and came back in. But do you know what happened next?" Li Quansheng's voice was filled with fear.

In other words, it is a deliberate tone, indicating that what is said next will be very alarming and scary.

"Could it be that the people inside are dead?" Luo Xi raised a possibility which he thought was very serious.

"That's right, but that's not the scariest thing. In fact, it only took a few seconds to close and open the door. When the colleague opened the door last time, he found that the other colleague who was inside was gone. The cabinet door at the lower right corner was locked, which was unusual. However, when it was opened, the body of the other colleague who stayed in the room was found inside. It was said that he was cold as a rock."

Obviously, if what Li Quansheng said was true, then this matter was indeed very terrifying.

But in Luo Xi's opinion, this can be understood as a punishment for "failed challenge".

But there are some oddities. If it only takes a few seconds to close the door and then open it again, does that mean the person staying in the room must decipher the puzzle and solve it in such a short time?

Otherwise, you will die?

If that's the case, it's too difficult.

It can even be said that it is impossible to accomplish.

Luo Xi glanced around and saw a clock hanging on the wall of the morgue.

The time above is wrong.

In an instant, Luo Xi seemed to realize something and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Brother Li."

"What's wrong?"

“I want to try it.”

"Try what?" Li Quansheng was stunned, and looked at Luo Xi again with a puzzled look.

"That's it. In a moment, you go out and close the door. I'll stay in the room!"

"Brother, do you think I'm talking nonsense about what I just said to you? No, it was just a joke."

“Brother, I just want to try.”

"No, no, this may result in someone's death. You can't just follow your temper. If something happens to you, how can I explain to others?" Li Quansheng waved his hands repeatedly.

Luo Xi thought about it, pushed the body outside into the open morgue cabinet in the lower right corner, and then walked to the door: "Brother, then I will try closing the door outside and then opening it again."

"Oh, that's fine, as long as we don't stay in this morgue." Li Quansheng nodded, then walked out. He went out first, and Luo Xi followed behind him. However, the latter did not go out, but closed the door directly.

"Fuck, brother."

With a bang, the sound outside was blocked out.

At the same time, some strange changes immediately occurred in the entire morgue.

The clock on the wall started moving.

But before that, the watch was stopped.

When he first entered the morgue, Luo Xi carefully observed the details here, including the clock on the wall, the position of the wheelbarrow where the corpse was placed, the marks on the wrists of the corpse, and other details about the corpse, which were naturally impossible to miss.

Men, women, young, old, tall, short, fat, thin, leg hair, tattoos, nail length, joint size
All of these are within Luo Xi's observation range.

There was also information hanging on the corpse’s feet.

Name, age, date of birth, date of death.
For Luo Xi, these are routine operations. Not only in this place, but even if he goes to any new environment, he will observe and record.

Only in this way can we compare details and find clues.

So when Li Quansheng demonstrated and they entered the morgue for the second time, Luo Xi compared the differences.

First, there was the clock on the wall. The minute hand was originally not moving, but after entering the room twice and comparing them, it had moved for five minutes.

In other words, although closing and opening the door seems to be a quick action that only takes a few seconds, in fact, five minutes will pass in this room at the moment the door is closed.

Luo Xi speculated that these five minutes were the time limit for "conquering" this place.

In addition, the corpse was different from the one pushed in before.

Although they look very similar, the details on the bodies, including the information on the deceased's data card, clearly show that they are not the same body.

That's interesting.

They pushed the body in, closed the door, and opened it again, only to find that the body that had been pushed in had been taken out again, but it was not the original body.

There must be something wrong here.

Of course, this is one of the elements that needs to be figured out and mastered in this 'story level'.

At this moment, Luo Xi looked at the deceased's information card.

The deceased's name, date of birth and date of death are different, but the gender remains the same.

Glancing at the clock, Luo Xi knew that he didn't have much time left to solve the mystery.

If he fails to crack the code within five minutes, he will be killed by some terrifying force and put into the morgue.

Others would be afraid of this, but Luo Xi didn't even consider the horror of this matter.

He took action immediately.

The first step is to pull out all the bodies.

The morgue cabinet is well designed. You open the cabinet door and then pull the metal bed with rollers so that the body inside can be pulled out, like a large metal drawer.

Luo Xi pulled out the other eleven morgues and quickly checked the death cards of all the bodies.

"I see. It's just as I guessed before."

One and a half minutes have passed.

This is simply a race with death. If you hesitate or waste time for a moment, you will die miserably here because of lack of time.

If that's the case, the only way to crack this place is to wait until the next cycle day.

Luo Xi sped up and began to exchange the positions of some corpses, just like taking apart a puzzle that was originally placed in a mess, and then putting the correct pieces into the correct positions.

But how to define "correct" is the key to this morgue grid game. Fortunately, Luo Xi had already solved this problem.

He roughly moved the positions of seven bodies, which was equivalent to exchanging their positions. If you didn't know the inside story of the puzzle, you couldn't tell what Luo Xi was doing at all. It was like when a master who had cracked the Rubik's Cube was restoring the Cube, to most people who didn't understand how to restore the Rubik's Cube, it would seem that the other person was just moving the Cube randomly.

Surprise and shock only appear at the moment when the Rubik's Cube is restored.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Luo Xi was the only one there, and no audience saw this amazing restoration performance.

After putting the last body back to 'where it belonged', Luo Xi closed the morgue door.

At this moment, he was sweating profusely, and the wound on his abdomen was bleeding again, looking quite serious.

It’s also because Luo Xi can no longer take care of his own injuries.

Let the situation deteriorate, it won't affect his decryption anyway.

For Luo Xi, "decryption" is far more important than maintaining the wound.

At this moment I looked at the clock.

There are less than thirty seconds left.

Luo Xi leaned against the wall at this time, recovering his strength and starting the countdown.

nineteen.
Three. Two. One
There was a click, followed by a series of clicks, as if some mechanical mechanism had been triggered. There was the sound of metal gears meshing and running. Some of the sounds were deep, as if coming from deep inside.

Then, the dial on the wall suddenly moved, and then it actually popped forward. Behind it was a horrifying tentacle covered in blood and flesh, and its facial features that looked like human faces kept moving, and its mouth opened as if making a silent shout.

It is not silent either.

Because Luo Xi seemed to really hear screams that sounded like the howling of hell, one after another, like rusty needles that kept piercing into the brain and staying there.
Fortunately, this feeling seemed to last only a moment.

Looking again, the terrifying tentacle had already fallen in front of Luo Xi, and then its head split open, like a large flower of flesh and blood. The stamens in the middle were things that looked like human arms, and even had five fingers.

One of them grabbed a card and handed it over.

"Is it a reward?"

Luo Xi thought to himself, and he reached out to take the card.

The next moment, the flower of flesh and blood closed, and then the tentacles retracted into the hole, and the thing that was blocking the hole was blocked on the wall again.

Everything seems to be back to normal again.

Almost the next second, the door behind him opened.

Li Quansheng's anxious voice came.

"Fuck, brother, are you kidding me? Come out now."

When Li Quansheng opened the door again, he saw Luo Xi standing there as if nothing had happened, and the body that couldn't fit into the morgue cabinet was gone, and the morgue cabinet in the lower right corner was also closed normally. After discovering this, Li Quansheng was stunned for three seconds.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing, I pushed the body into the morgue." Luo Xi put the cards in his hand into his pocket.

Apparently, he had cracked the 'grid game' in the morgue.

This grid game is not difficult. If Luo Xilai were to summarize it, it would be in one sentence: the year and month of death are matched with the zodiac sign, and the different deceased are arranged in the order of the twelve zodiac signs.

Luo Xi felt that it was not difficult, and not only him, but also Ke Lan would be able to crack it if she came.

The only difficulty is time.

Five minutes is too short, so the cracking process must not be completed within these five minutes. This period of time is given to you to change the position of the corpse, so you must crack the puzzle and gameplay before the start of this story game.

If you succeed in cracking the code, you will get a reward; if you fail, you will definitely die.

Li Quansheng was obviously very angry, mainly because he was frightened. From another perspective, it was also because he was afraid that something might happen to Luo Xi.

So, this is a security guard who likes to brag but does his job conscientiously.

"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that." Luo Xi apologized and tried to calm the other party down.

Just at this time, Han Xiaoyan also walked out of the locker room.

"Xiaoyan, long time no see. When did you come back?" Li Quansheng said with a smile. It can be seen that the other person's eyes of different sizes were staring at Han Xiaoyan's long legs, and he seemed to be very fascinated.

For men, looking at legs is an eternal joy.

"I just came back to get something. Luo, let's go!" Han Xiaoyan waved the work badge in her hand and greeted Luo Xi.

"Then Brother Li, see you later. I'll invite you and Lao Liu to have a drink when we have time." Luo Xi walked towards Han Xiaoyan. Of course, he had already turned the security guard's baton and flashlight into cards in advance. Li Quansheng had forgotten about this just now because he was worried about trouble.

So Luo Xi had to leave quickly and not let the other party remember him.

"It's a deal. You have to call me when you go drinking." Li Quansheng also waved his hand. He waited until Luo Xi and Han Xiaoyan left before he felt something was wrong.

He looked back at the missing equipment on the wall and then realized what was happening.

"Oh no! Why are the baton and flashlight missing? Where did I put them?" He began to look for them anxiously.

Han Xiaoyan was very happy when she found her work badge. She asked Luo Xi if he wanted to go to the cafeteria to have a meal together and said she would treat him.

Luo Xi shook his head.

He looked at the time. More than twenty minutes had passed since Brother Mao started the killing.

I have to go and see what's going on in the emergency room.

Of course, there are only two possible outcomes. One is that the medical staff over there are no match for them and are killed by Brother Mao. The other is that Brother Mao is suppressed and killed by the monster medical staff here.

No matter which one it is, Luo Xi needs to do something.

What Luo Xi didn't know was that not long after he and Han Xiaoyan left the morgue on the basement floor, a nurse entered the morgue pushing a cleaning cart.

This nurse was wearing a mask and a hat and looked no different from the other nurses in the second ward.

Of course, if you observe carefully, you will find that this caregiver is actually a person in disguise.

Be cautious from the moment you enter the morgue.

"The reward for entering the Second Ward this time is actually only one card to draw. That means at least two people came to the Second Ward before me. Haha, it's really rare. I didn't expect that someone could find out how to enter the Second Ward."

The man dressed as, or rather, came in as a caregiver, muttered to himself.

He is a senior memory restorer, and a master among the seniors. In the past, there were people who entered the Second Ward, but fewer people could enter before him, because one of the keys to entering the Second Ward is to apply and become a nurse in the Second Ward.

This process is rather cumbersome and dangerous. Even if one is already very skilled, it still takes time and effort to pass the screening.

So when he found out that there were more than one person who entered the second ward before him, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Don't let me find out, otherwise, I will kill you."

The senior man lowered his head and went to clean the morgue. He naturally noticed that the security guards were behaving abnormally today.

The other party seemed to be looking for something in frustration, and was even cursing, saying that his salary would be deducted or something.

"So, should I go and talk to him, what if it triggers a plot quest?" The veteran hesitated for a while, but ultimately decided not to take the risk, because for him, there was something more important to do.

That's the grid game in the morgue over there in the guide.

"I died in it on the last cycle day, but it also allowed me to figure out the rules inside. Haha, who would have thought that the twelve grids were actually related to the year and month of the deceased's death and could correspond to the twelve zodiac signs. So, the twelve grids can correspond to Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao respectively. Haha, I'm so smart. This time, I will definitely be able to conquer this grid game. I believe the reward in the second ward will definitely be top-notch."

"Besides, the entire Second Ward will be infected soon, so hiding here is the safest place!"

The veteran suppressed his excitement, lowered his head and walked over with the cleaning cart. When he reached the door, he pushed it open with joy.

The next moment, he froze.

Where's the body?
What about the open cabinet door?

It seems that something is wrong!
