The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

[March 26, 2013, Friday, Snow]

"The teacher has gone missing."

"I didn't even get to see her one last time before she disappeared."

"The people at the hospital told me there was a mistake, that she had already been discharged. I wanted to contact her, so I took leave and went to her hometown and her current address to search everywhere, but she wasn't there."

"I made countless calls but no one answered, and even after I reported it to the police, there has been no news."

"I suspect something happened to my teacher. Damn it, I should have gone back to the hospital to see her that night. I never expected that this separation would lead to this tragedy."

"I found Zhao Kun. He's Teacher Lin's stepson, so he must know something."

"But he seemed completely indifferent. I knew that because of the teacher's family issues, their relationship had been strained for many years, but I didn't expect him to have this attitude."

"After I got into a fight with him, I was detained in a detention center for a whole week."

"Now that I'm out of here, I'm reflecting on how impulsive I should have been, even if I was angry and nervous at the time."

"After returning to work at the hospital, I was constantly uneasy. My teacher's experience was too similar to those of the patients who disappeared before. I suspected that there must be some inside story here."

"I need to investigate secretly. This time, I need to stay calm; letting my emotions get the better of me."

Li Can already guessed what would happen next, so he turned directly to the last page.

It seems that Fang Yi's investigation during this period was very successful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to obtain such crucial evidence, the "Resurrection" drug, later on.

[July 19, 2013, Saturday, Sunny]

"The teacher is dead, she's dead, I couldn't save her."

"Those beasts are worse than pigs and dogs. They actually conducted human experiments behind the scenes. When I found her, she was unrecognizable."

"I will definitely avenge her!"

"After my investigation, I have now discovered that the dean is the biggest culprit behind the scenes."

"He is Zhao Kun's uncle. They conspired to resurrect Wang Yali, whose body is also in the underground laboratory."

"But she was killed in a car accident more than 20 years ago by Teacher Lin's family."

"For so many years, the dean has kept her body in a freezer."

"The dean must be insane."

"Zhao Kun wants his mother to come back, and Dean Wang Yaxiang wants to bring his sister back to life..."

"It wasn't Teacher Lin who did anything wrong back then, and the other patients they killed didn't do anything wrong either, so why this!"

"They are beasts!"

"Fortunately, I have now worked with Dr. Wu to move the 'Resurrection' drug they developed away; it is evidence of their crimes."

"I want to expose this incident and seek justice for the teacher and the deceased."

"It's not safe in the hospital now. I've been exposed. I need to find a way to get the evidence out..."

The entries in the diary end here.

The handwriting above became increasingly illegible, as if Fang Yi had made a last-minute, desperate note; the characters were trembling violently.

Li Can could even sense his fear and extremely unstable mental state from above.

However, it also mentions another person, "Dr. Wu".

It seems he wasn't fighting alone; he had helpers.

However, this title made Li Can think of Wu Xiuyuan.

This guy's identity card also says he's a doctor, and besides, I've seen him and Zhao Kun seemingly working together in the underground lab before.

There are so many coincidences in this hospital. Is there another doctor with the same surname, Wu?

Li Can wasn't sure, but if the person mentioned here was him, did it mean that there was an NPC "spy" among the players...?

"hiss."

Li Can felt a chill run down his spine upon closer examination, and fear persisted even without thinking about it.

Things are getting more interesting.

Another key character is "Wang Yali," mentioned by Fang Yi.

It seems that the motivation behind the entire human experimentation always revolved around this woman who had been dead for more than 20 years.

Then all of this makes sense.

However, I don't think I saw anyone named "Wang Yali" when I was exploring down there.

Logically speaking, the [Resurrection] potion should have already been developed, and there should even be five bottles missing.

So, if it really succeeds, "Wang Yali" has already been resurrected, right?

Where is this person now...?

He had already met Zhao Kun, but what about this Dean "Wang Yaxiang"?

At this point, Li Can had another earth-shattering fight with that pitch-black monster in Fang Yi's office.

Fang Yi himself said that he had been exposed, so why hasn't he shown up yet?

Li Can likes to construct everything in the most extreme possible way, and now he has a terrible guess in his mind.

"Could Dean Wang Yaxiang be the monster sent to kill Fang Yi?"

He wanted to kill Fang Yi to silence him, so he appeared at this time. Wait a minute, what time is it in the game now?

Li Can looked up at the long, old-fashioned electronic clock hanging on the wall of the storage room.

The time displayed above is: Saturday, July 19, 2019, 1:20 PM.

The last date on this diary is today!

"That's right. I don't know what happened that caused Dean Wang Yaxiang to mutate. In the later stages, his monster form could only make him hide himself."

"He wanted to silence Fang Yi at this time, so he ordered the entire 23rd floor to be cleared out, which is why it is so quiet here now."

"In addition, I sounded the alarm in the underground laboratory, and all the few internal personnel were mobilized to the ground to solve the problem."

Li Can's mind started racing, and he was incredibly clear-headed at that moment.

The mysteries unfolded one by one before my eyes, then were broken down and kneaded together, forming a story map.

All the clues converge into a single line, extending forward.

He thought that the illusion in this instance game was probably coming to an end soon.

But how do we end this?

I arrived here after taking a nap in the "decaying hospital" during the "nurse's rounds" as required by the game rules of the NPC Granny.

However, she didn't say what to do next at that time, leaving it all to the players to figure out on their own.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Li Can relaxed and placed Fang Yi's diary into the metal briefcase containing the [Resurrection] potion, sealing it away together.

As he stood up, he saw the white hair lying on the safe again, and almost unconsciously picked it up.

This player named Bai Zhuo was elusive, and Li Can was filled with curiosity about him.

Based on the evidence Fang Yi left behind, it seems like he didn't take anything with him.

So why did he sneak into the storage room? Was it just to enter the safe's combination beforehand so he could easily find his things?

Li Can sneered and decided to put aside any further thoughts for the time being.

Every player here has their own secrets, and he chooses to put them aside for the time being as long as they don't infringe on his interests.

After all, there are more important things to do right now.

After passing through two large gates, Li Can returned to the scene of Fang Yi and Lin Wanyan's deaths.

The two bodies were piled on top of each other, and the scene was quite bloody.

His gaze swept over the two corpses.

"To end this illusion, wouldn't we have to revive Lin Wanyan...?"

He stood there lost in thought for a long time.

If the NPC old woman we met earlier wasn't dead, then Lin Wanyan is now in a dead state, and I happen to have the [Resurrection] potion in my possession.

What to do next seems self-evident.
