Chapter 2752 The Thirteenth Day Talk (Part Four)

Do you want me to shut up for freedom, or will you be shut up completely?

Given that no promises are trustworthy, the fact that those in the know remain here poses a significant risk.

In this situation, both of the solutions proposed by Tracy are more credible than verbal promises.

Even the choice between the parties involved seems self-evident.

However, while appreciating this development, Fu Qian still indicated that the former is also unreliable.

If you help them break free of their restraints, they'll run away from this awful place no matter what they think, and the secret won't spread.

That's a good idea, but what if they don't manage to escape?
If they are stopped and tied up, how they manage to escape will inevitably become a major point of interest.

No matter who thinks about it, they will feel that someone will definitely help, and they will even need a reasonable reason to help.

At this point, the credibility of a couple's story actually increases significantly.

With just a little thought, one can see that this is by no means an exaggeration.

In comparison, it's clearly more reliable to make someone permanently shut up.

Although, in contrast, the nature of the latter is even more egregious.

Releasing a person and killing a person are two completely different things.

Tracy herself clearly wanted to reach the first option deal, rather than escalate the damage to her reputation to bloodshed.

Such a mentality is completely understandable, but it's okay. It's normal to make a mistake before making a move; it's a gradual process.

"Think about it some more, no rush."

He patiently reassured her, saying that she should think about it more and not rush to conclusions.

……

For Fu Qian, having leverage over two respectable people was practically a gift, and he had no reason to give it up easily.

It's one thing to be able to empathize with Tracy and the other woman's mindset, but it's another to see if the two women can realize their true situation.

"You seem completely unaware of your situation..."

It proved to be quite difficult; faced with such provocative remarks, Tracy's male companion finally seemed to have reached his breaking point.

"Do you really think we wouldn't dare to take action? People dying here is a perfectly normal thing."

It has to be said that this makes a lot of sense. Sanatoriums may not be as good as hospitals, but life and death are certainly more commonplace there.

"That makes sense. I don't seem to remember how it turned out this way. Could you share your experience?"

Ignoring the tense atmosphere, Fu Qian even genuinely agreed with the other party.

……

"Unfortunately, I am not clear about the specific process."

The two sides clearly had different understandings of the situation, but in the strange atmosphere, it was Tracy who finally spoke up.

"All I know is that you suddenly fell ill on the second day after you arrived here and attacked more than one person. Then, Selvis declared that your condition was critical and that coercive measures had to be taken. After that, you were moved to several different places before being placed here."

He sounded somewhat modest, even though he clearly understood the situation quite well.

This is actually quite normal. Such places, far removed from the mundane world, tend to foster a unique collective atmosphere, making it impossible for information dissemination to be inefficient.

So it seems like you really get addicted pretty quickly, and problems arose the very next day?

Fu Qian sighed inwardly, increasingly amazed by the charm of this place.

The specific process was fairly reasonable: the onset of the illness, treatment, being declared incurable... and Servis was indeed like the person in charge in this place.

"So what did I do on the first day?"

Considering Tracy's high level of cooperation, he didn't hold back and continued to ask questions.

Besides Servais, the "old friend" is undoubtedly the more anticipated character. "Visiting, what else can I do? Just wander around, greet and chat with many people."

Tracy found the question rather strange.

"Didn't you call yourself a cultural columnist, preparing to write a feature article about a sanatorium?"

……

Is this even possible? I told you it wasn't that simple.

Tracy's answer undoubtedly stirred things up again, and Fu Qian sighed inwardly at that moment.

It sounds like I actually came here with a special reason, rather than as a visitor?

A columnist, wandering alone, this sounds like there's absolutely no element of "old friends" in it.

The person mentioned in the mission description doesn't actually exist—which is actually quite plausible.

"Following in the footsteps of an old friend" can indeed be understood as someone leaving traces here, and you are simply searching for that trace.

Even his subsequent actions matched up: claiming to be a columnist, he tried to move around in various places as an easy way to blend in with the masses, searching for clues...

Even further back, this hidden intention was eventually discovered by the "evil" Servais, who ultimately met a tragic end, trapped here in this way...

It's practically a classic movie plot.

Having finally awakened, he now needs to escape this place that appears to be a sanatorium but is actually a den of evil and a mountain of demons.

Because in thirteen days, this place will be judged for its hidden evils.

See, it even matches the mission objective.

I have to say, it feels pretty good to suddenly become the protagonist of a movie.

"Actually, that's nonsense. My real identity is a secret investigator."

As we all know, the protagonist's greatest characteristic is that he will never die no matter what he does, so I immediately tested it out.

"...Investigate what?"

No matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the madman had suddenly regained his senses, but the fact was right in front of them, and for a moment, Tracy and the other woman spoke almost in unison.

"Investigate the relationship between the two of you."

He answered with complete naturalness before giving his answer.

……

Are you kidding me?

After another long silence, Tracy's male companion finally sounded furious, his voice drawing ever closer.

It's quite normal. Being made a fool of in front of a woman you admire is always unbearable, especially for someone of such status and position.

Clearly, he didn't believe Fu Qian's nonsense. Had he been tied up here for over forty days just to wait for this moment? This wasn't the kind of lawful way to wait for someone to run into a trap.

"Yes, but I'm not the only one who's teasing you."

In this situation, Fu Qian even added fuel to the fire.

"Excuse my bluntness, although I couldn't see it just now, I could still tell that when the two were being affectionate, the lady's performance was quite dramatic. Are you sure you don't want me to re-enact it?"

And it was poured with gasoline.

Before the segment on recommending the veteran military doctor could even begin, Fu Qian's words were interrupted by an unusual noise, followed by a muffled groan.

Snapped--

He reached out and fumbled around, finally managing to remove the thing from his head. Looking at the head struggling in his other arm, he spoke earnestly.

"See? I told you, doesn't it need to be replenished?"
