Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1188: Giving Priority to Exits

As it turned out, the Lava Player's Handbook was printed and produced in the Information Department.

Last time, she only looked at the folder containing medical records. This time, Lin Sanjiu spread out all the documents she had collected on the floor and flipped through them page by page until she picked out all the pages of the player information handbook. This batch of pages hadn't been bound yet and was scattered everywhere. There were several stacks with the same content. The pages she obtained might not even form a complete version, but at least Lin Sanjiu now had a rough idea of the information.

As she expected, the fragmented information she had gathered was only the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire Lava world. The hospital, as the core layer of Lava, had various complex rules that filled several pages. It seemed like it was not finished yet. Lin Sanjiu squinted and looked for a while, becoming more restless the more she read. After she reluctantly finished the last page she could find, she let out a heavy sigh.

In the player information handbook, there wasn't a single word that could help Hei Zeji in his current situation.

But that was only to be expected.

The vague feeling of luck shattered, replaced by a new sense of pressure weighing on her. Lin Sanjiu put away the information handbook and used the repetitive and useless paper pages to cover Hei Zeji, making him look like a snowman. The utility room was too narrow, forcing her to keep her legs tight together so that she wouldn't accidentally touch him. With this layer of separation between their bodies, she felt much safer.

"Let's see if there are any other useless cards," she muttered to herself. Even things like dirty towels could be used to cover Hei Zeji's body better and prevent her from accidentally touching him.

She opened the card inventory, and as she looked, she suddenly froze, flipping back a few cards in disbelief before slightly parting her lips.

That's right; she still had this Special Item!

Hope reignited within her in an instant, flooding her veins like a tidal wave. Sitting still, she couldn't believe that her problem might be solved so smoothly. With a mix of belief and doubt, she carefully read the textual description on the card. Soon, her hope began to diminish, and her doubts rose like a hot air balloon.

She knew her luck couldn't be this good.

Lin Sanjiu had never used it before, so she hadn't given it much thought. Now that she looked at it, she realized that if the item description was correct, this item was actually useless. Its usage condition was inherently contradictory, rendering it impossible to work. But it had indeed been used by someone else before, and it had been used more than once. How had the previous owner managed it?

Biting her lip, Lin Sanjiu thought quietly for a while before suddenly standing up.

Yes, the previous owner's method must have been simple. If her analysis was correct, then Hei Zeji could be saved. However, to save him, she had to find Bohemia first.

'Bohemia must be outside.' Lin Sanjiu hesitated for two seconds before giving up the idea of taking Hei Zeji out of the hospital. He was not easy to move, and even if she retrieved the cart, pushing a transport machine like a flatbed cart while fleeing posed too much risk. She could only leave him here and bring Bohemia into the hospital's basement. It was midnight now, and no one would open the janitor's utility room. This meant she and Bohemia had to return here before morning and kill Hei Zeji.

If he woke up halfway and returned to the laboratory, it would be disastrous.

She had to be prepared for any eventuality. Lin Sanjiu struggled for a moment on the ground before finally taking out the [Penguin Children's Pop-up Book].
