Chapter 396: Deducing the Rules!

【Rule One: The Infirmary's working hours are from 8 to 20:00.】

【Rule Two: Players, please do not expose your identities.】

【Rule Three: When the doctor asks about your physical condition again, please answer carefully.】

【Rule Four: If you find that the doctor leaves midway, please do not worry. When he returns, he will be able to cure any student.】

【Rule Five: If the doctor asks you for help, please have him issue a certificate.】

Lin Xuan glanced at the doctor at his workstation.

'I can't mess around anymore.'

'I vaguely feel that there are pitfalls in these five rules, huge pitfalls.'

'Rule One can be ignored.'

【Rule Two: Players, please do not expose your identities.】

'If everyone in the school is a robot.'

'Then there's a problem with what the doctor said just now: where are you feeling unwell?'

'Robots have no feelings, yet he asked where I was feeling unwell.'

'That means a portion of the robots in the school have feelings.'

'Connecting it with the scene I saw in the Laboratory Building: Chen Ran and the other three were soaked in incubation vessels. Based on my previous deduction, the four of them are all robots.'

'There's a problem here. Incubation vessels are used to cultivate living organisms, so how could they be soaking four robots?'

'Unless, these four people have both life characteristics and are robots.'

'And in the Laboratory Building, after I violated a rule, the punishment was being disemboweled.'

'To summarize, there are two types of people in the school. One is pure robots, and the other is...'

'Cyborgs!'

'Cyborg: meaning half-machine, half-human, or rather, it should be said that cyborgs are robots that possess human organs.'

'Chen Ran and the other three... I previously deduced they were all robots, but them being in incubation vessels, covered in tubes, with pained expressions, can also prove the existence of cyborgs.'

'Looking at Rule Two again.'

【Rule Two: Players, please do not expose your identities.】

'If players are included...'

'There are three types of people in the school: humans, robots, and cyborgs.'

'And the doctor can determine these three types of people through physical examinations or weighing them.'

'The heaviest are the robots, the lightest are the humans, and neither light nor heavy are the cyborgs.'

'Then Rule Two translated should be: do not let the doctor examine your organs, and do not let the doctor weigh you.'

'Next is Rule Three.'

【Rule Three: When the doctor asks about your physical condition again, please answer carefully.】

'How should this be interpreted?'

'The students who choose this Infirmary are all cyborgs. These kinds of students have senses. But, I have already answered that my stomach is unwell, and the doctor would assume I am a cyborg, so why...'

'Ask again?'

'Suppress Mental State!'

'Let's sort things out from the beginning.'

'When I came to the Infirmary, the doctor just asked a simple question and then ignored me.'

'This indicates that, in his view, I am either pretending to be sick, or it's just a minor ailment that will get better after resting for a while.'

'Just now, the doctor issued me a Diagnostic Report, indicating it's the latter.'

'In other words, 【Rest】 is the treatment plan given by the doctor.'

'Then looking at Rule Three again.'

【Rule Three: When the doctor asks about your physical condition again, please answer carefully.】

'Facing his question again, if I still answer that my stomach is unwell, it means the doctor's treatment plan failed.'

'What happens if it fails?'

'If this were in the real world and treatment at an Infirmary failed, this situation would warrant an immediate transfer to a hospital.'

'But this is an Instance; they can't transfer me to a hospital.'

'Where will I be sent?'

'It's related to Rule Four!'

【Rule Four: If you find that the doctor leaves midway, please do not worry. When he returns, he will be able to cure any student.】

'The doctor leaves midway, and when he returns he can cure any student... This means that when the doctor's treatment plan failed, I won't be sent anywhere else, but...'

'The doctor goes somewhere else, and as long as he goes to that place and comes back, he can cure me.'

'In the doctor's cognition, I am a cyborg. My stomach is unwell, so he might go to get the relevant parts, and when he comes back, he just needs to directly replace my stomach.'

'But, the wording of Rule Four seems a bit wrong: 【When he returns, he will be able to cure any student】.'

'The wording here is 【student】, not 【patient】 or 【sufferer】.'

'And it seems there's no problem either.'

'Is this the unknown information Shu Renjun designed for me?'

'He wants me to use my spatial skill to simulate in other spaces.'

'Thereby wasting time?'

'After all, in the other space, the doctor will leave the Infirmary very soon.'

'Wait!'

'In the other space, the doctor did not ask me about my physical condition again before leaving.'

'In other words, the sequence of Rule Three and Rule Four has nothing to do with the rule order.'

'Rule Four should be before.'

'Rule Three should be after.'

'Simply put, the doctor leaves the Infirmary first, and only after returning will he ask me again.'

'In other words, he went to get the parts before the treatment plan even failed.'

'Logically, this doesn't make sense!'

'If after he returns, he asks me about my physical condition again, and I answer that I'm better, wouldn't that mean he got the parts for nothing?'

'One must know, I have spatial skills. Even if I lie, I can use spatial skills to eliminate the lie on my body.'

'Therefore, my answer can be that I am still unwell, or it can be that I am better.'

'So, why would the doctor go get parts before the plan failed?'

'Since Rule Three and Rule Four cannot deduce a result, then...'

【Rule Five: If the doctor asks you for help, please have him issue a certificate.】

'This rule is the strangest!'

'The doctor asking me for help means my illness will definitely be cured, which corresponds exactly to the sentence in Rule Four: 【When the doctor returns, he will be able to cure any student】.'

'Simply put, if my answer is 【I'm better】, the doctor will ask me to take back the parts he brought back. If my answer is 【My stomach is still unwell】, then he will replace my parts, and I will definitely die.'

'So that's how it is!'

'My answer can only be...'

'I'm better!'

Having deduced the result, Lin Xuan didn't cancel the suppression of his Mental State, simply because in his state of absolute rationality, he discovered...

There are a few questions that haven't been resolved yet.

'The first question: Where is the doctor most likely to go when leaving the Infirmary midway?'

'The second question: Returning to 【When he returns, he will be able to cure any student】 in Rule Four. If, during this period, I break my arm, and he only brought back parts to replace my stomach, wouldn't that contradict this sentence in Rule Four?'

Almost instantly.

Lin Xuan arrived at the final answers to these two questions. He silently canceled the suppression of his Mental State.

'Shu Renjun!!!!'

'I was almost tricked by you!'
