Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 343 The Truth and the Patient

"game?"

Looking at the words appearing on the paper, Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment.

This is my own handwriting again.

But Jiang Lin still has no recollection of when he wrote this sentence.

Did you continue writing when you were mentally confused or had lost your memory?

wrong……

As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Lin immediately rejected it in his heart.

Because this line of words "emerges"!

If it appears on an electronic screen, this is a normal phenomenon.

But the problem is...

What he held in his hand now was a paper notebook—it was even only the size of a palm.

The words appearing out of thin air on this kind of paper must be the work of some supernatural force.

Of course, there are more reasonable explanations...

"I might actually be in the 'game'."

And when Jiang Lin had this thought, she soon felt strong doubts and hesitations in her heart.

wrong……

If all this is so real, why is it a game?

Jiang Lin felt slightly dizzy.

A new idea emerged uncontrollably.

in case……

Is it "surreal" plus "game"?

The thought suddenly occurred to her.

Then, the moment this thought came to her mind, Jiang Lin knew...

"It can't be true, right?"

If this is not true, why would I have such a thought?

She calmly turned to the next page of the vocabulary book in her hand.

"The goal of the game is to escape from the asylum, but now it seems that we have failed..."

Jiang Lin continued to flip through the pages.

"You're not a patient, remember that—because you might lose your memory over and over again."

"This isn't the first time I've tried this."

"This asylum will not only modify your memory, but will also constantly 'reset' it, trapping you in a cycle of reincarnation."

"I am you in the past, and I am you with all my memories intact."

"Use props frequently."

"You have two teammates, Max and May."

"Max was a talkative, lively and outgoing woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses. She lived in a ward on the second floor. May may have already perished in the wine cellar on the basement floor of this insane asylum."

"Beware of the fog and the sea."

"If you forget how to retrieve the item, I've left a backup plan on the fifth floor."

"Other patients are dangerous and medical staff cannot be trusted."

Jiang Lin turned to the end and all the clues appeared.

She had to admit...

This confusing mix of hints also looks like the cook's own arm.

Jiang Lin could even imagine the scene in the past when she was hurriedly writing these things.

"So I'm really in a game..."

She carefully put away the notebook and then stood up.

At this time, the woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses also looked at Jiang Lin.

"Eh? Are you done?"

"Well... I've finished reading it," Jiang Lin nodded. "Anyway, I know your name... or rather, your code name."

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses was excited, yet also a little surprised: "What is it? How did you know?"

"Your name was written in the thing that young man gave me just now," Jiang Lin said, "Your name should be Max."

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses fell into deep thought. "Hmm... Max? I'm pretty sure that's not my real name, but a code name."

Jiang Lin also felt that this was probably a code name, but she still couldn't help but ask.

"How are you sure?"

"Because it sounds like a foreign name. Although my memory of my parents is a little vague, I am sure they would not give me such a strange foreign name."

Max said seriously.

Jiang Lin also nodded.

She was also certain from Max's accent that this guy's real name was definitely not this.

"Anyway, that notebook also said," she hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You think we are both 'players'?"

"Player?"

Max was very curious.

"Yes, the world we live in, this madhouse, is a game," Jiang Lin whispered. "This isn't the real world, it's a game world, and we are players whose memories have been tampered with, making us mistakenly believe this is the real world."

"Oh, you mean like in The Matrix?"

Max suddenly realized.

Jiang Lin felt something was amiss, but nodded. "You could say that... but I have a vague feeling it's not something technological, more like something metaphysical or supernatural..."

She muttered, and Max stroked his chin before speaking.

"I understand what you mean... These details are unimportant. The reason you took the initiative to come to me is because you and I are both players?"

"Correct."

Seeing that Max was so understanding, Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it would take some time to convince this guy.

Now it seems……

Max, like himself, should have subconsciously realized that something was wrong.

So she understood it immediately.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin decided to go a step further.

"In short, our goal seems to be to escape from this madhouse..."

"And this isn't the first time we've tried this. This cycle will repeat over and over again."

Jiang Lin lowered her voice and then shook the vocabulary notebook in her hand.

"Although I don't know the origins of that young man just now, the notebook he gave me contains information left by my past self."

"So...we have to act together!"

Max nodded seriously after hearing this.

"I completely understand, but if we want to escape, where do we go next?"

"Fifth floor!"

Jiang Lin said firmly and decisively.

The vocabulary book mentioned the use of [props], but Jiang Lin couldn't remember what [props] were or how to use them.

But fortunately, it seemed that my past self had anticipated this situation—"If you forget how to retrieve the item, I've left a last resort, stored on the fifth floor."

Therefore, Jiang Lin now plans to go to the fifth floor immediately.

That was the area where examinations and critically ill patients were located. Normally, ordinary patients like them were not allowed to go there.

But Jiang Lin knew...

I am not a real patient.

She is a player!

Based on this premise, the idea that "I can't go to the fifth floor" that is deeply rooted in my mind may even be a means for this game to prevent me from recognizing the truth.

and so……

Jiang Lin insisted on going to the fifth floor to take a look.

"Come on, Max, let's go upstairs quietly now."

When she was about to take Max upstairs, she suddenly found...

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses beside him disappeared.

Just as Jiang Lin was looking around in confusion, she suddenly found Max walking towards her from the corner with two tall doctors.

"Yes, doctor, that's her."

"This patient from the fourth floor seems to be having a seizure. He's trying to escape from the asylum and wants to take me with him!"
