The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

"I agree to take the medication, please don't lock me up!"

"Is anyone there? I need to take my medicine."

"Boss, where's my medicine?"

"I have no medicine!"

In the early morning, before most people were awake, Lu Yuan began frantically banging on the door of the solitary confinement cell.

I've been typing all morning.

The nurse came over first to calm Lu Yuan down.

Then I gave him two steamed buns.

"It's not time to take your medicine yet. If you're hungry, have a couple of bites of this steamed bun first."

Ok?

Something's not right. Something's 190% not right.

Lu Yuan scratched his head, feeling that something was amiss.

New Hope Mental Hospital is fraught with danger.

Every patient is a source of curiosity.

I've already experienced this firsthand.

These nurses are all paid employees; they rarely show any humanistic care.

Unsolicited kindness is definitely suspicious.

Why did they not only refuse to give me medicine, but also send me steamed buns?

Lu Yuan keenly noticed the key point and almost instantly connected it to You Lian.

Was this nurse bribed by You Lian?

With this in mind.

Lu Yuan stopped eating and said nothing, then went straight back to the solitary confinement room.

There's definitely something wrong with these steamed buns.

"I will absolutely not eat a single bite of your food!"

The nurse was completely stunned when she saw this.

If you don't want to eat it, fine. I went straight back to the cafeteria and returned the steamed buns.

"How did you get it back?"

Sitting in the cafeteria, You Lian looked at the steamed buns the nurse was carrying with a puzzled expression.

She heard Lu Yuan shouting all morning.

I think I must be hungry because the journey is long.

By virtue of his emperor-like exalted status in the hospital.

You Lian took advantage of the fact that the steamed buns in the cafeteria had just been made and quickly asked the nurse to send them over.

The nurse actually brought it back.

"He won't eat."

"This little glutton has a pretty picky palate."

You Lian laughed in exasperation. This brat is still so arrogant; he won't even eat his steamed buns.

"Get him two roasted pig's trotters and a Coke."

"Who eats pig's trotters for breakfast?"

"Let's do it."

You Lian gave these instructions.

She remembered that Lu Yuan used to love eating pig's trotters.

Of course, the cafeteria wouldn't have roasted pig's trotters early in the morning.

But it's okay, we can go out and buy it.

You Lian received absolutely top-tier treatment; any condition she set could be met.

The nurse went out and bought pig's trotters, then delivered them directly to the kitchen.

But after a short while, it came down again.

"He won't eat."

Aren't you going to eat?

You Lian scratched her head.

You're not going to eat, huh?

"Get him a lobster, just steam it. Eating something too greasy in the morning isn't good for his health. Also, give him some milk; it's good for his growth."

You Lian sat in the cafeteria, pondering this.

She couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Yuan when she saw that he was still tall and thin.

He must have suffered a lot these past few years.

Don't worry, you're suffering outside.

Your sister won't let you suffer at all in the hospital!

...

"Wait, are you really going to spend this much?"

Lu Yuan looked at the huge lobster in front of him and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Who eats lobster for breakfast?

He was really drooling over it.

But Lu Yuan shook his head; he decided not to eat it.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

You use a mouse to lure a cat, but you need an antelope to lure a lion.

They actually went so far as to use lobsters as a trap to lure him; he couldn't imagine just how big this trap was.

He was about to shake his head and say he didn't want to eat.

In an instant, his arm was grabbed.

"Brother, don't shake your head. If you're not going to eat it, can I have it?"

"Holy crap, there are other people here!"

Lu Yuan turned around and saw a strong figure suddenly grab his arm.

His muscular build made him mistake the other person for a gorilla in the pitch black.

"When did you come in?"

I came in before you did.

"Why can't I see you?"

"Because I don't like to talk."

Gorillas do not like to talk.

He stared intently at the large lobster in front of him, constantly swallowing his saliva.

"What illness brought you in?"

I have severe depression.

No wonder he doesn't like to talk.

Lu Yuan stood between the gorilla and the lobster, and said decisively:

"This lobster is poisonous."

"Brother, is it true?"

"Of course it's true."

"All right."

The gorilla swallowed hard, reluctantly looked away, and went back to drawing circles in the corner.

Lu Yuan followed behind him:

Why aren't you taking your medicine?

"I don't want to eat."

Facing a gorilla that doesn't like to talk.

Lu Yuan keenly sensed something.

The plot involves a prisoner discovering he has a fellow inmate while in solitary confinement...

"Have you also sensed that this hospital is fraught with danger?"

"right."

The gorilla nodded emphatically and finally began to communicate with Lu Yuan:

"I don't want to go to a mental hospital, I want to get out."

Great minds think alike.

Lu Yuan gave him a thumbs up.

"But if we don't take our medicine, we'll be locked up here forever."

Because of what happened last night when I didn't take my medication and didn't relapse.

This made Lu Yuan realize that this might be a cycle.

There must be some clues to this game.

As a gaming expert, Lu Yuan understands one principle well.

The game may be incredibly difficult, but it will always have a clever way to complete it.

Otherwise, this game is trash.

As is widely known.

All games involving time travel are essentially manipulating timelines.

So Lu Yuan sat down and began to seriously think about the timeline.

A given timeline is essentially a line segment.

A line segment has two endpoints.

The simplest way to set endpoints is through dates on a calendar.

However, he discovered that the dates he traced back were completely irregular and even chaotic.

So what if the date on the calendar is not an endpoint?

Then the endpoint must be an event.

In retrospect, however, we find that...

When he repeats the "trigger backtracking" event, he will definitely die and trigger backtracking.

Only last night, after he repeated the fact that he hadn't taken his medication.

He did not go back in time.

Therefore, "not taking medicine" represents the end of a timeline.

Therefore, by this reasoning, the starting point is taking medicine.

In other words, from the moment he was admitted to the hospital and started taking medication, he had already entered into an event where he was "killed by You Lian".

Not taking the medicine signifies the end of the "being killed by You Lian" incident.

Therefore, he had reason to speculate.

If he takes the medication again, he will return to that timeline.

Lu Yuan originally called the nurse over because he wanted to find an opportunity to get out of the confinement room.

But what if there's one more person in the solitary confinement cell...?

"Brother Gorilla, if you don't take your medicine, we won't be able to leave the hospital, let alone get out of the isolation ward."

"What should we do then?"

"Hit me."

The gorilla turned its head from the corner, stared at Lu Yuan, and shook its head.

"I don't hit people."

"Then don't blame me for making the first move."
