Chapter 382: Changed Scene Mechanics

Chapter 382: Changed Scene Mechanics
The operating room scene is actually in Ward 2.

In other words, it is an independent level scene derived from a part of the second ward.

So it looks very similar to the corridor of the previous First Hospital.

The difference is that the light is relatively dim, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood.

This thing might scare some people, but to Luo Xi, it is just like the chocolate decoration on cakes and is dispensable.

The gameplay in the scene can be seen as 'escape' and 'prop collection'.

To put it simply, before the "doctor" catches the player, you can find the four items: [Photo of daughter], [Teddy bear named TOM], [Doctor's glasses], and [Surgical order], and you can pass the level.

The reward is to get a reinforcement in the operating room.

The difficulty is how to escape the doctor's pursuit and find the location of the props.

But Zhou Di has already solved one of these two difficulties, and he has told Luo Xi the locations of the four props.

But Luo Xi's bottom-line thinking had already assumed the positions of the four props, which had long been changed.

Of course, the worst-case scenario doesn't end there.

If the position of the props can be changed, then it stands to reason that other things can be changed as well. It is even possible that the scene is completely different from what Zhou Di described.

The corridor was very quiet, and Luo Xi quickly observed the surrounding situation.

There is a flower pot in front, but the flowers in the pot have withered. Next to it are men's and women's restrooms. According to the guide given by Zhou Di, among the four props, [Doctor's Glasses] can be found in the third partition in the men's restroom.

There was a hanging paper bag inside, and the glasses were in the bag.

Now that he was here, Luo Xi had to go in and take a look regardless of whether the scene elements had been modified.

He walked over.

There is no door outside the toilet, and both the men's and women's toilets are pitch black when viewed from the entrance.

From this location, you can smell a strong, special smell of the toilet, a stench mixed with detergent and the original smell of blood.

The sink is not big and the glass on the wall is stained with a lot of stains, but the projection can still be seen.

Inside, the third brother, who looked like a starving ghost, shook his head at Luo Xi.

Luo Xi stopped.

It was obvious that the third brother sensed the danger.

Among Luo Xi's many personalities, the third one stands on his side. For some things, he has to rely on the other party.

The third brother would not lie. There must be a huge danger in the toilet, but according to the strategy for this scene given by Zhou Di, [Doctor's Glasses] are hidden in the men's toilet.

Four key props, none of them can be missing.

Otherwise, you will not be able to pass the level normally, and you will definitely be caught by the doctor when the time is up.
"Speaking of time!" Luo Xi did not find any clues about time in the scene. The most obvious clock has not been seen yet. However, there is a faucet next to the toilet that is dripping very slowly. There is a red bucket used to wash mops below. The turbid water in it is almost full.

The gathering of water drops is also a method of telling time.

In ancient times, people invented the water clock, also known as the clepsydra, based on the principle of dripping water to tell time.

So this is most likely a time reminder.

Hidden and difficult to detect.

From the current perspective, it may only take about ten minutes before the water is full and overflowing.

"What if we pour out the water, or poke a hole in the bottom of the bucket?" Luo Xi walked over and took a closer look. Then he found that there was a human head soaking in the red bucket, face up. When Luo Xi looked down, the dead face was also looking up.

We met eyes.

Danger.

A pure sense of danger permeated my body.

But Luo Xi was not frightened to the point of losing his composure. Not to mention that it was just a head soaked in water and staring at him, even if this thing flew out and pounced on him, Luo Xi would not find it strange.

There was only a sense of danger, but no movement of the head in the bucket, which could only mean that it was a warning.

You can't think of buckets or drops of water.

That is, this special 'timer' is not allowed to be interfered with.

Luo Xi could only give up this idea, and judging from this thing, the "operating room" scene had been 100% changed by Wei Si.

Because Zhou Di had never lifted the dead head in the bucket.

The situation began to develop in the direction that Luo Xi least wanted to see.

"First of all, we need to determine to what extent Wei Si can change the scene? Zhou Di said that the basic gameplay and rules of the scene will not change. This is written into the scene rules. Even Wei Si cannot delete the already written rules and rewrite new rules. So, what it can do is to add and change some of the content that can be modified."

Luo Xi began to take on the role of Wei Si.

From the other party's perspective, how to modify the scene to the maximum extent possible can put yourself in trouble.

"The four items to be collected should not change, and even their locations may not change. Dimension Four's goal is to kill me to the greatest extent possible. If I am killed in this scene, I will have to wait until the next cycle day to appear. This is what it wants to see."

"Then, it would be best to add deadly mechanisms and traps where the props are placed. The most effective way is to set up fatal traps at each location, or place a killer, or a cleaner. But obviously, this violates the principle of 'fairness and justice' when creating the scene. So, creating confusion and delaying time is also a way, but the third brother did sense the danger." Thinking of this, Luo Xi took off his coat, wrapped it around his fist, and then punched the mirror on the wall.

Bang~!

Click~
The sound of a mirror breaking was heard.

The mirror was broken. Luo Xi picked up a palm-sized piece of the mirror fragment. Instead of entering the men's restroom, he immediately walked away and headed towards the place where the next prop was hidden.

"The distribution of the scenes should not be changed, just like a building that has already been built. The structure is fixed. Zhou Di is the builder, and Wei Si can only change the decoration style and add some things. If we infer from this situation, Wei Si can't arrange killer moves at all the hiding places of props. In fact, it doesn't have many chess pieces. As long as we crack its thinking, we can easily pass the level."

This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do in reality.

It's like guessing cards.

There is only one card hidden in the four boxes. Even if Luo Xi has insight into the other party's thoughts, he still needs to face the possibility of making the wrong choice.

So strictly speaking, in this level scene game, the designer still has an absolute advantage.

Luo Xi is very fast. The previous speculation is actually more like a guess, and Luo Xi still needs evidence to confirm it.

The biggest "card" in Wei Si's hand is the "doctor" in the scene.

This is an absolute force and killer. Even if Luo Xi is placed in Wei Si's position, the emphasis will be on the element of "doctor".

For example, changing the doctor's initial point.

To put it more bluntly, it means deliberately placing the "doctor" at the pickup point of a certain prop.

For example, the men’s restroom just now.

Luo Xi sensed the danger, and so did the third brother. This meant that the doctor might be hiding in the men's restroom. If they chose to investigate, whether they rushed in rashly or threw something in to test the waters, the doctor's killing mode might be activated immediately.

So before that, Luo Xi needed to determine the placement of several other items.

I brought the mirror fragment so that the third brother could also investigate.

Because Luo Xi's own perception might be affected by the environment, it would be safer to add the third brother.

In addition, it is also helpful to familiarize yourself with the venue first, understand the layout and places to hide, and more importantly, if you don't see the "doctor" after walking around, this will further prove what Luo Xi thought when he put himself in the role of thinking.

That is to say, it is speculated that the 'doctor' was assigned to the item pickup point.

"locker room!"

At this time, Luo Xi saw a room in front.

This is the pickup point for the prop [Photo of Daughter] that Zhou Di mentioned.

At the door, Luo Xi began to look in the mirror.

"Everyone else, move aside and let the third brother come over." Luo Xi said to the palm-sized mirror. Inside, people were swaying and it was a bit crowded.

Soon, the image of the starving ghost Lao San appeared in the mirror.

"How is it?" Luo Xi asked.

The third brother squinted at the entrance to the locker room and shook his head: "There's something in there!"

This result surprised Luo Xi a little.

"What about the toilet?"

"Yes!"

".Understood!"

Luo Xi suddenly realized a possibility.

"Did Wei Si increase the number of doctors?"

Dimension 4 pursues the most efficient and safest way to win, and if you just hide the doctor in one of the four pickup points, it can only increase the chance of winning, but this probability cannot reach an absolutely safe level.

It can only be a relatively large chance of winning.

But as Luo Xi had analyzed before, this is a game that cannot be lost.

This is true for Luo Xi and also for Wei Si.

So the other party will try every means to stop Luo Xi.

If a doctor is arranged at each of the four item pickup points, the opponent's chances of winning will increase dramatically, and it can even be said that they will win 100%.

But Luo Xi knew that the rules set in the scene would never allow this to happen.

"If you want to get something, you must make concessions. Only in this way can we maintain balance." Luo Xi was sure that if Wei Si really came up with four doctors, he must have made huge concessions in other aspects.

According to this line of thought, as long as you find the point where the other party makes concessions and attack their weak points, your chances of winning will be 100%.

In this way, the originally complex problem is simplified.

"Zhou Di said that within the specified time, you can pass the level by avoiding the doctors' pursuit and collecting four props at the same time. That is to say, the doctors and the four props are in corresponding states. If the number of doctors is increased, in order to maintain balance, the corresponding balance mechanism will be added to the players participating in the scene, either increasing the number of props to make it easier to collect them, or reducing the strength of the doctors, for example, limiting the doctors who can chase players everywhere to a fixed area so that they cannot move freely."
