As the protagonist of the decryption game, I

Hirashima Yang stopped in front of the hospital bed.

After taking those two books by Kyogoku Natsuhiko, the whole illness seemed empty.

[Hospital bed - a very common iron frame bed, specially provided by the hospital, with a bed suit on it. ]

[Pillows - Roughly made pillows with the "Mihua Mental Hospital" logo printed on them. ]

[The quilt—it was folded and placed on the pillow, with an inconspicuous bulge. ]

[Wooden bedside table——an unremarkable desk lamp, and a booklet of "Instructions for Mihua Mental Hospital". ]

["Instructions for Mihua Mental Hospital" - there are traces of being flipped, and there are creases on the third ward on page 7. ]

[Fingerprints on the booklet—Shota Mizutani, the director, unknown. ]

Again the fingerprints are unknown.

Thinking of the unknown fingerprints that appeared from the beginning of the Ryota Toyoda case, Hirashima picked up the phone and dialed Kaitou Kidd.

"Hello, Phantom Thief." The moment the call was connected, he threw the question away. "If you disguise yourself, can you disguise your fingerprints?"

Kuroba Kaito on the opposite side was almost dumbfounded by this question.

He sat up from the bed in a daze, pinched the corner of the quilt, and said in a helpless tone, "Officer Pingdao, do you think the disguise technique is too magical?"

"Disguise is limited." He explained word by word, "Just like I can disguise myself as someone taller and fatter than me, but I can't disguise myself as someone smaller than me. Disguise is limited by its own conditions."

"And our disguise is to fool people's eyes, not to fool detection machines."

Kuroba Kaito's words were short of saying that it was impossible to disguise fingerprints.

Ping Daoyang was silent for a while, "... I see, thank you."

Then he put down the phone, picked up the booklet, and brushed the fingerprints on it with his fingertips.

As long as people born in this world can stay in hotels, spend money, and enjoy the rights that normal people should have, it means that they should have identity certificates in the world, even if it is a false certificate.If the fingerprints cannot be changed easily, their fingerprints should remain the same and not change when applying for false certificates.

In other words, if these unknown fingerprints did not become unknown due to disguise, then there would be only one candidate left for the person who left this fingerprint.

—Whiskey, Tokikawa Toya.

But Hirashima Yang himself felt more about a sense of finality than accidents.

Shenbin has only appeared once in the Noah's Ark game so far. It is separated from the outside world by a layer of membrane, and people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

Maybe he is the only one here because the background setting is "a policeman transferred from Kamihama", so he has a legal identity to be active in this world. People can check his past information and some of Kamihama's story.

But the Sparrow is not.

One is because the police ID ten years later cannot be used ten years ago, and the other is because——

There are two time paradoxes involved.

One is that Kamihama became one of the backgrounds of the remake because of Hirashima Yang's arrival.

If you can find out about Kamihama's past from Hirashimayo, then theoretically speaking, Kamihama should have always existed in this world, instead of Kamihama existing in another world before Hirashimayo appeared.

And according to such an ever-existing theory, continue to go down, in order to make the logic smooth and there is no singularity, then in this world, there should be two people, Tokikawa Toya and Heishimayo, ten years ago.

—and this is the second paradox of existence.

Hirashima Yang is traveling according to the correct timeline, and has come to the correct place at the correct timeline, so above the current timeline, there is only one Hirashimayo.

But for Shi Chuan Touya, things are not like this.

Tokikawa and Hirashima were still on the same timeline before Kamihama separated. After the separation, Tokikawa walked into the past timeline, making Tokikawa who existed in the past ten years Also multiplied by two.

People cannot exist at the same time as their past self. If Tokikawa Toya ten years ago was also Tokikawa Toya, then who should the sparrow that appeared ten years ago be?

It is known that Tokikawa Toru ten years ago also existed in the Kamihama Metropolitan Police Department and was an undisputed policeman, so the Tokikawa Toruya ten years ago would not be Tokikawa Toruya.

But Wei sparrow is Shi Chuan Touya.

The two time paradoxes are superimposed, and the identity of Weique and Shichuan Toya conflict with each other, so Weique appears as unknown here in Hirashimayo.

...sarcasm.

Looking at the unknown fingerprint, Hirashima Yang lowered his eyes.

Wei Sparrow has been doing things for so long, but the result is someone who shouldn't exist in this timeline.

But it’s too late no matter what to say now, Ping Daoyang is just looking down at the specific content on the page, looking at the introduction of the newly established ward in the third ward. There is a house number showing 1012 in the corner of the photo.

Then the man reached out and shook the bulging quilt away.

With a corner of the quilt hanging by the bed, a small iron box fell out of it and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

[Round tin box—a box used to hold candies, with scratches all over, and the date of production printed on the bottom. It was manufactured ten years ago and has now been discontinued (Mizutani Kunihiko gave Mizutani Shota as one of the rewards for No.1), inside there is something. ]

Ping Daoyang opened the iron box, and inside was a key with a red string.

The top of the key was worn out, and the numbers on it could not be seen clearly, only the lower half of a number "2" could be vaguely seen.

He held the key in his palm and got up from the ground, "Let's go to 1012, the third sick building."

——Shota Mizutani's Hyakki Night Walk series, I hope he can search for the hospital bed after reading the book, get the key, and go to the third ward.

Ten minutes later, the third ward.

The third ward is much larger than the fourth ward where Mizutani Shota is located, and there seems to be an area that is being redecorated. The moment they opened the door, they saw the "Mihua Mental Hospital Third Patient" lying in the corner. Building" and "OFF FOR MAINTENANCE" hanging on the wall next to the elevator.

The light was only on at the entrance. Matsuda took a few quick steps, squatted down at the tightly closed elevator door in the middle of the corridor, and then turned on the flashlight.

The strong light of the flashlight illuminates the gap in the elevator, which is mixed with some black soil.Matsuda Zhenping stretched out his hand and twisted it, his fingertips faintly felt damp.

"...This is not the soil in the hospital." He frowned, "How about this, Hirashima and the squad leader go to 1012, Hagi and I try to find a way to go underground."

"Is it okay for the two of you to go?" Date Hang was a little worried, "Why don't we go together."

"Of course there's no problem." Matsuda Jinping glanced at Hirashima, who was covered in bandages, "It will be difficult for him to come down."

No one knows what's going on underground. If you really run into someone from the black organization, this guy will be courting death if he goes down. It's better to just go down with him and Hagi, at least run fast.

It just so happened that Kenji Hagiwara thought so too.

"Xiao Zhenping is right, you don't want to go down." Hagiwara smiled, "There are so many steps leading to the underground stairs, Xiaoping Island's leg injury may be a bit difficult to go down."

Then Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei turned around and quickly disappeared at the stairs.

In the corridor on the first floor of the ward, there were only Datehang and Heping Shimao left.

Datehang turned to look at Hirashima Yang, "Then shall we go to room 1012 now?"

Hirashima Yang nodded silently.

The wards in the third ward are arranged in singles and pairs, and room 1012 is at the innermost end of the corridor on the first floor.

The two of them walked along the left side of the corridor. The graffiti and handwriting belonging to the patient on the wall beside them were covered by brand-new paint, and only a few traces were faintly revealed when the light of the flashlight was shining on it.

The handwriting was scribbled, and the paint covered the missing arms and legs. Ping Daoyang stopped to look at the words, and could only infer the general content based on the direction of the font.

[I like you. ]

[The ground has... hands and eyes!]

[Skirt ! ■ ■ Scales! Tail ■!]

[Dead! Dead! ■Dead!]

……

It's very confusing words.

"Ida," Ping Daoyang said abruptly while scanning the handwriting on the wall. "Do you know what the third ward of Mihua Hospital is for?"

"You want to ask about the type of patient." Yi Dahang, who has been paying attention to him from the corner of his eye, replied, "Half an hour ago, the police checked and said that the senior who lived in the third ward of Mihua Mental Hospital Part of it is schizophrenia."

According to the hospital's introduction that they could find, the third ward of Mihua Mental Hospital lived in patients with severe schizophrenia and paranoia, and the danger was extremely high.

And because the mental state of these patients is not stable, they often have the symptoms of writing and talking to themselves, or smashing things when they get sick, so that the third ward building has become the most expensive one in Mihua Mental Hospital. The place needs to be repainted and decorated at every turn, and has been in contact with the construction team all year round.

It sounds like a flawless reason, but now that the dean of Mihua Mental Hospital has been arrested as a member of the Black Organization, the content of this reason must be brought out and re-examined.

"But because people with mental illness are so hard to be trusted, what they write on the wall is not taken seriously, because other people will just think they are sick."

Datehang took out the key that Hirashima Hiroshima kept in his pocket, and opened the door of Room 1012 while talking, "But looking at it now, maybe what the patients wrote is the truth?"

The iron door of room 1012 slammed against the wall with the force of his push, knocking off a lot of dust.

"—After all, genius and lunatic, isn't it just a matter of thought?"

On the other side, in the stairwell.

Matsuda Jinhei and Hagiwara Kenji, who were walking down the stairs, were standing in the middle of the stairs, looking ahead in amazement.

Only a few wall lamps were lit in the narrow stairwell. Under the dim light, the morgue ahead had a dark hole wide open, and the air-conditioning kept leaking out of it, like a monster waiting for its prey to take the bait.

But compared to the mortuary that this kind of mental hospital would have, what was more frightening was the continuous sound of bodies hitting the iron door and the rattling of the door lock from the morgue.

Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji looked at each other.

Then they hurried down the stairs.

Although the outer door of the morgue was open, there was still a locked door inside. When Matsuda Jinhei and the others ran over with a flashlight, they found a very familiar person inside the door.

As if being dazzled by the light of the flashlight, Nana Hayakawa, who had killed her idol, stopped hitting and lay down on the inner door of the morgue on the basement floor, her face facing the glass of the inner door.

"Officer Matsuda, Officer Hagiwara, help!" Her voice was muffled through the iron gate. "If you are here now, you must be looking for things, so I think you probably want to know what I saw in this mental hospital?"

Hayakawa Nana knocked on the glass, her eyes were full of joy that she was about to be rescued, and in the end she was afraid that they would not save her, so she added a little begging to her tone.

"I'll say anything, so you guys just let me out!"

she shouted.

"—I've been locked here all day!"
