Chapter 2794 The Thirteenth Day Talk (Forty-Six)

Unlike other places, the floor in the attending physician's office is covered with a carpet.

While not the most comfortable, it's excellent at being waterproof and stain-resistant, perfectly matching the practical nature of this place.

As I walked along the path until I approached the enormous desk, no alarm sounded.

However, Fu Qian believed that this would not be difficult for the attending physician, as there was a very high probability that his act of trespassing into the restricted area had already been discovered.

This is undoubtedly an unfriendly move, and even theoretically irrational.

From the moment the black box was exposed, I, as the weakest of the three, essentially seized the opportunity and manually drew a card for myself.

In turn, by taking advantage of the brief window of opportunity, they can continue to lead the situation and test the methods and secrets of others.

There is even a subtle advantage here: the intensity of the test is controllable at multiple levels.

For example, the action of opening the door mentioned earlier.

In theory, if the other two people do not have special means of detection, this silent action should not have any impact on the situation.

If I were to reach such a conclusion and confirm that it truly is an absolute black box, I could completely restore everything to its original state and then resort to other means.

It's like getting something for nothing – getting information for free.

Even if the result is not that, and it proves that Selvis was actually cheating, it is not irreversible—after all, the director doesn't know.

This is like in the game Werewolf, where two wolves make eye contact.

For the remaining directors, this information remains a mystery.

It may seem like he's in a superior position, but as analyzed earlier, the director is clearly at a disadvantage compared to Cervis.

Now it has been revealed that the attending physician's methods are also unscrupulous, disregarding all principles and morals.

In this situation, if there's an opportunity to confirm each other's werewolf identities, it's wise to use it to convey goodwill and establish a united front.

For example, they could simply close the door again and then tacitly target the director together.

Even from a standpoint of perspective, there's nothing wrong with doing this; don't forget that it was the director who kept pulling himself out of the background.

In order to find someone to help him avoid trouble, it seems he intends to keep the intruder firmly locked in the sanatorium and not allow them to leave.

A clear obstacle to the mission objective.

In contrast, although Selvis's attitude was also ambiguous, if the previous inferences are true, his aim was always to lure the director in and open the safe.

I am merely a tool in the power struggle and pressure exerted by both sides in this process.

So all I need to do is help him get his wish, and I'll lose my value in staying here, which will make everyone happy.

Unfortunately, some things may seem beautiful, but they actually carry unseen risks.

In this "black box" three-way game, you may look the most relaxed, but in reality, you are the one under the most pressure—don't forget the Well of Time mentioned earlier.

If I close the door and sit back down, will Servais still call these people away?

From his perspective, he will most likely accept this kindness silently and continue to observe how things go.

After all, he had just tacitly allowed the director to go this far, and then suddenly pulled this big reversal. Wasn't that clearly telling the other party that he might have some special information?

They used some methods that defied common sense.

Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't choose such a self-destructive act.

It was precisely because of his confidence in the attending physician's intelligence that Fu Qian made a choice that would displease the latter.

They used such methods to force Servais to withdraw his men.

Perhaps they failed to successfully express goodwill, but they did conceal their weaknesses.

In short, this is the beauty of a three-way game. Any small variable can be amplified rapidly due to the complexity of the game, leading to an exponential increase in the difficulty of controlling the situation.

There are now more variables.

Looking around, I confirmed that no one was hiding behind the desk, eagerly playing hide-and-seek with me.

Without any hesitation, Fu Qian opened the hidden compartment at the back.

……

Keyhole, brass combination dial.

There was still no alarm, and Fu Qian looked at what was behind the hidden door, indicating that some of his previous guesses were being confirmed.

It was indeed the same style of safe as the one in the VIP area.

All I can say is that the origins of the key in his hand, and even the situation the director faces, are becoming increasingly believable.

Did he really hand over the key so that I could open it for him?
What's inside that's so scary?
Of course, if I continued to push my luck, it would only make the attending physician more dissatisfied—click!

With a soft click, Fu Qian had already inserted the prepared key into the hole and turned it.

What kind of rhythm master are you if you don't push your luck? Everyone, keep the party going!

Not to mention that the attending physician himself was so generous that he didn't even set a password.

Yes, Mrs. Tracy's seemingly promiscuous male companion had actually taken extra precautions with his safe.

As a result, the key to the safe belonging to the person in charge of the sanatorium, Servis, could be turned directly without even needing to turn the combination lock.

……

This tactic of inviting the enemy into a trap is far too obvious.

Not only was there no password, but it was even the original key, making it arguably the simplest way to unlock a door.

After smoothly turning a quarter of the way, Fu Qian didn't stand on ceremony and directly opened the cabinet door.

It might seem unfriendly, like they're completely disrespecting the attending physician.

But from the perspective of the person who paid, this was an absolutely necessary action.

The three-way game is in full swing, and I need more leverage.

As has already been proven, the "black box" he created was of little significance to Servis.

This is a very dangerous thing.

That meant he was vaguely following in the director's footsteps, and was at a complete disadvantage on Servis's side.

It's not that it's completely impossible to operate in this situation.

For example, after discerning his intentions, one could use destructive threats to disrupt his guidance of the director.

However, being passive is inevitable. When you don't have enough leverage, even if you take the initiative to show goodwill or help, the reward you ultimately receive will depend solely on the other party's moral standards.

However, Fu Qian was unwilling to put such great moral pressure on His Excellency Selvis—especially since he appeared to be a clean-living, incorruptible person in charge.

As the cabinet door opened, the contents behind it were revealed.

Even with only a faint glimmer of light, one could still see that what was inside was not some mundane object like jewelry or gold.

In the not-so-large space, there was only a notebook that wasn't very thick either.

And a pen placed right next to it.

Thank you all for your patience. My condition has improved somewhat after the surgery, and updates will gradually return to normal. I expect to complete the current instance by the end of the month.
