Gu Yi felt that there might be more clues on his grandmother's body, so he put on the black eye mask.


A faint golden light emanated from his grandmother's chest, and Gu Yi unbuttoned her collar, finding a small pouch.

As soon as Gu Yi picked up the pouch, he received a system prompt.

“You have found the special plot item [Grandma's Lucky Pouch]!”

“Your plot exploration progress has increased!”

“Current plot exploration progress is 71%!”

Gu Yi scratched his head, not knowing the immediate purpose of the pouch, but he decided to hang it around his neck.

“Alright, the clues end here.
The cat-rat couple must have come to find my grandmother.
She is likely my and my sister's true relative.
What role do the cat-rat couple play in this dungeon?”

According to Gu Yi's guess, Miss Cat was his sister's adoptive mother, and after buying his sister, she subjected her to various abuses to satisfy her perverse desires or to use her sister's weird powers for evil plans.

“I's parents were human traffickers, so could it be that they voluntarily sold his sister to the cat-rat couple?”

The car accident in the diary might have symbolized the fact that his sister was abducted?

“No, the car accident was probably just an ordinary accident, as I ended up becoming a vegetative person, right? Then where is my sister exactly?”

Gu Yi scratched his head, almost pulling out some strands of hair.

Beep beep beep—

Gu Yi's phone rang.

The sharp ringtone echoed in the morgue, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Gu Yi took out his phone, and it displayed “Gu Jianjun”  on the screen.

“Dad?”

“Where are you? I didn't see you at home.”


“I'm at the Provinci…City People's Hospital.”

His father was clearly puzzled for a moment, “Why did you go there?”

“Well, I'm not feeling well.”

“Why didn't you call me? I'll come to pick you up right away.”

“Okay.”

Gu Yi hung up the phone, unplugging the sim card from his phone.
He deliberately mentioned the wrong hospital's name for two reasons:

1.
To test his parents.

If his parents were the same as in the inner World, and they were really in cahoots with the cat-rat couple, then his father would immediately know that he was lying and head to the Provincial People's Hospital.

2.
To startle the snake.

By lying, Gu Yi was also telling his parents that he knew their true colors.
The cat-rat couple, upon learning this information, would likely take other methods to capture him, and then he could gain more clues.

It was an extremely risky plan, but without it, Gu Yi had no way to break the current situation.
He only had three days left, and he needed to take bold actions.

Gu Yi quickly left the hospital, went to a nearby sports equipment store to change his clothes, and put on a peaked cap to disguise himself.
He hid in a Kaifeng vegetable restaurant across the street, staring fixedly at the hospital entrance.

About ten minutes later, his father's car stopped at the intersection in front of the hospital.

Gu Yi sneered, as it turned out that his parents were indeed on the opposite side.

“Deduction.”

(The deduction begins!)

(You come out of the fast-food restaurant and walk into the hospital.)

(You hide in a corner to observe.)


(Father's car enters the parking lot.)

(Ten minutes later, your parents and the cat-rat couple come out of the garage and head straight to the hospital building.
Your mother keeps dialing her phone, probably trying to contact you.)

(You follow from a distance.)

(The four of them enter the outpatient building and stay inside for half an hour before running out again.
You notice that Miss Cat is nowhere to be seen.)

(You put on the black eye mask.)

(The red dot representing Miss Cat is wandering inside the outpatient building.
On the northeast corner of the third floor, she obtains a golden item.)

(After getting the golden item, Miss Cat immediately goes downstairs and meets up with the other three.)

(You arrive at the entrance of the hospital.)

(Ten minutes later, your father drives away, and you stop a taxi and have the driver follow him.)

(Your father's car arrives at the south of the city.)

(You notice two black cars appearing on both sides of the taxi, driving parallel to you.
They deliberately block the taxi's front, preventing the driver from following the car behind.)

(The driver complains and is forced to stop by the two cars.)

(Apparently, your tracking has been discovered.)

(You open the car door and try to escape.)

(The people from the cars come out, pulling out machetes from their sides and holding them against your neck.)

(You are taken away by the drivers.)

(You are knocked unconscious.)

(You don't know how long has passed, but you find yourself lying in a pitch-black coffin.
You touch your chest and realize that the pouch is gone.)


(Miss Cat's face pierces through the coffin cover and appears in front of you.)

(Cat: Meow~ Little stalker, are you here to find me?)

(You try to resist Miss Cat's peculiar power with your mental strength.)

(You finally fail.)

(Your pupils dilate, and your heart stops.)

(You were scared to death.)

(The deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes.

His father's car was still waiting at the intersection, waiting for the red light.

Gu Yi speculated that his parents had gone out early in the morning today to find the cat-rat couple in order to sell him to them.

Moreover, the power of the cat-rat couple was clearly much stronger than he had imagined.

After discovering that they were being followed by a rental car, they quickly called for reinforcements to deal with him.

The pouch that his grandmother had given him must have had the ability to resist Miss Cat's mental intrusion, which is why they took it away from him at the critical moment.

Gu Yi shook his head.

Even though the plot exploration was only 29% left, there were still so many unsolved mysteries in this last 29%.

What item did Miss Cat obtain at the hospital?

Where did they go after finding the item?

Gu Yi decided to explore again.


(Backtracking begins!)

(You arrive at the entrance of the hospital, and your father happens to drive into the garage.)

(You quickly rush into the northeast corner of the third floor of the outpatient building.)

(You find yourself in front of a self-service reporting machine with flashing red lights.)

(You glance around and casually sit on a nearby bench.)

(You put on the eye patch and observe.)

(After a while, the red dot representing Miss Cat gets into the elevator.
You quickly get up and hide in a dim corner.)

(You take off the eye patch.)

(Miss Cat doesn't notice you and goes straight to the self-service reporting machine to queue.)

(You stand behind Miss Cat in line.)

(Miss Cat enters a medical record number and prints the report.
Then she leaves.
It's apparent that the report is a clue to advance the plot exploration.)

(You walk up to the reporting machine and enter the same medical record number and password.)

(It's Gu Yao's medical record.
It says that there's a malignant tumor the size of an egg in her head, and she has been in a coma for nearly a month with a life-threatening condition.)

(The day Gu Yao fell into a coma and was taken to the hospital was precisely May 11, 2021, the same day the diary began.)

(You recall your grandmother's last words, “Power comes with an unbearable price.”)

(Perhaps the price for Gu Yao becoming unspeakable was getting cancer.)

(You stop the deduction!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes and pondered for a moment.
Now, he needed to figure out how to track down those villains.
