We must first understand the three areas before we can escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Wen Xishu finally chose to open his mouth. He looked as though he couldn't think, his gaze vacant, only hesitating slightly as he opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male doctor scrutinized him for a while:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like I was overthinking. The drug is taking effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the white pill dissolved at the back of his tongue, the ceiling suddenly became covered with vein-like patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu wanted to scream, but found his vocal cords had become waterlogged cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman dabbed the corner of Wen Xishu's mouth with a cotton swab to remove the drug stain. Wen Xishu saw something bizarre—there was a suture on the woman's neck, and something moving under the skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't know exactly what these doctors were, it was certain they weren't human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's strong heart left his expression unchanged, still looking like a fool, his gaze vacant. This reassured both the male and female doctors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go feed the others their medications.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man and woman left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu wanted to induce vomiting, but at that moment, he suddenly received a rule prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unlocked Rule Two: Vomit from the human body has a special smell. Don't let them smell it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drug had already begun to be absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's brain started to become sluggish. It felt as if he were drunk, his mind becoming dazed and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hero unconscious... Wise is an idiot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's current feeling was like Xiahoudun looking at Louis XVI, unable to see a way out; this challenge seemed harder than imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just felt that his brain had a problem, and his inner thoughts even had a voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unlocked Rule Three: After the drug is digested, all your thoughts will come out of your mouth and last for five minutes. They are highly sensitive to the murmurs of thoughts.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Wen Xishu realized this wasn't a brain problem; he was really hearing voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that if he carefully thought through the next five minutes, with seamless logic and no encoding... these thoughts would come out as murmurs, heard by \"them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the statement about Hero being unconscious and Wise being an idiot likely wouldn't reveal much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, hahahahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu now had to act like an idiot for five minutes; he had to appear as a fool, with chaotic thoughts, letting his mind go blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh hey, hehe hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wooo wooo wooo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a camera captured this moment, it would surely become a black mark on Wen Xishu's history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in such a terrifying environment, if Wen Xishu saw his own performance, he'd probably find it hard to hold in laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, five minutes isn't too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the five minutes were up, Wen Xishu felt a bit of pressure relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This start is too harsh. The Hero has lost consciousness, and this Wise is almost losing his mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the characteristics of the Wise are clear; with two rule unlocks, he can see the complete rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Wise's ability. If the Wise approaches the Hero, he could likely help the Hero interpret the first rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Hero likely has excellent physical resilience, able to withstand torture in the intensive care area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for now... it's not yet time for contact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drug's second effect arrived; as the five minutes of divulging thoughts ended, fatigue set in, and Wen Xishu had to face heavy drowsiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I need to switch to Benevolent. I don't know what Benevolent's characteristics are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before falling asleep, he wouldn't draw their attention, so Wen Xishu met the conditions for switching again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cold ward, Wen Xishu's vision gradually blurred and compressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next instant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes to see bright sunlight. Sunshine streamed through the window, feeling healing and warm, starkly different from the previous scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Mild Illness Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even in the Mild Illness Area, it shouldn't feel like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When parents call, respond without delay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu suddenly uttered this line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze fell on the children in the study room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of children also began to chant, \"When parents call, respond without delay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One child wasn't reciting along. He looked very frail, his lips somewhat cracked, as if he hadn't had water in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the sunlight outside the window was suddenly obscured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu instinctively looked over and found it was a \"doctor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctors here, Wen Xishu already knew, weren't human. They were \"them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor's eyes were fixed on that child with cracked lips and frail body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's disobedient, Britney, I'm going to take him away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories began to flood in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Britney... I'm a language teacher, and I have a very privileged background, but not long ago, I started to feel depressed when my parents got in a car accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brain began to ache, but Wen Xishu forcibly endured the pain without showing it on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the \"doctor\" entered the classroom, intending to take the child somewhere, perhaps transferring him from the Mild Illness Area to the Moderate Illness Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Wen Xishu suddenly realized he could do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to try:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't do this. Give me more time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"doctor's\" footsteps halted. He looked at Wen Xishu, or rather, at Britney.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was greed in its eyes, and finally, it nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just this once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child, who was trembling with fear, lifted his head and looked gratefully at Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Britney's memory gives me a feeling of gentleness and astonishing beauty. Her beauty even works on them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Benevolent is the least threatening persona.

They might accommodate Benevolent before their desires reach their peak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly experiencing three perspectives, Wen Xishu began contemplating how to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assuming this is a prison... the exit is likely in the intensive care area. Otherwise, Chris could simply ignore it, as there's no need to enter the intensive care area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how do I transfer the other two personas to the intensive care area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's worth noting that if Wise frequently takes medicine, he might lose his wisdom, and if either Wise or Benevolent enters the intensive care area due to 'deteriorating condition'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could very likely start with a set of electrotherapy, which only Hero can withstand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, if Benevolent's condition worsens... it might also trigger their desires, and it's unknown what they might do to Britney then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the memories Wen Xishu currently possessed—Britney, Zhou Fei, and Chris had no interactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A student, a foreign language teacher, and a retired soldier didn't connect. Plus, their areas were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This task feels unrelated to Gemini to Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figuring out which zodiac area's involved isn't urgent right now; the priority is still figuring out... how to find a breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wen Xishu pondered all this, another prompt appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chris is about to enter the isolation room and might encounter danger.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt the pressure.
