Chapter 83: Pursuit
Gu Yi sat across the street, silently waiting for the car to park in the underground parking lot. He entered the hospital's main gate and made sure everyone went inside before heading to the underground parking lot.
Soon, he found his father's car. He took out his phone and securely taped it under the car. Then, he quickly left the hospital.
On the third floor, he could investigate his sister's medical records and medication details, as well as obtain a clue-like prop for the plot.
However, since he already knew the clue from his deductions, there was no need to risk going there again.
Gu Yi returned to the Kaifeng restaurant across the hospital and waited until he confirmed that his father's car had left before going back home.
Once he returned home, he immediately took out his tablet and activated the phone tracking feature.
The map marked his phone's location.
The phone was located near the Southern dock, surrounded by warehouses. The phone's tracking ability wasn't very precise, but roughly knowing the general area was enough for Gu Yi.
He took all the family's savings, packed his bag with a phone charger, lighter, mosquito repellent, a bottle of spirits, a folding knife, a flashlight, emergency food, and essential medications.
Leaving home, he checked into a hotel across the neighborhood. He wasn't sure if his parents posed a threat to him, but staying away from them seemed like the right choice.

It was only in the evening when his parents' car returned to the neighborhood.
Using binoculars, Gu Yi watched as his parents got out of the car and seemed to argue for a while before going upstairs.
Not long after, the police arrived at their doorstep.
"They must have noticed all the money was stolen and reported it... Or maybe it's because I went missing," Gu Yi pondered.
Throughout his journey, Gu Yi wore a peaked cap and deliberately walked through backstreets and alleys. Sometimes, he would wear his clothes backward to confuse the police.
It shouldn't be easy for the police to trace him.
Sitting by the window, Gu Yi waited until the police left before leaving the hotel to retrieve his phone.
"Something... feels off."
He furrowed his brows, contemplating for a while before deciding to check out and go to another place to stay.
Since he returned to the surface world, the dangers seemed to diminish. As long as he didn't confront the Cat and Mouse couple directly, he could move almost freely. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
This didn't match the director's "special care" for him.
The more peaceful the surface world became, the more uneasy he felt.
The red countdown on his phone kept ticking backward as he walked to the Provincial People's Hospital.
It was already evening, and only the emergency department was still open.
Gu Yi randomly found a self-service report machine and entered his mother's social security code, intending to access her medical records. However, he discovered that his mother had set a password. He tried his own birthday, his mother's birthday, and his father's birthday, but all attempts failed.
"Damn... Do I have to use the same method as last time to access it?"
Gu Yi looked around. This was a hospital in a big city, not a small-town clinic. Security guards were stationed, and fire safety measures were in place. There was no chance for him to resort to violence.
After some thought, he decided to give up on investigating the medical records.
His mother's records were not the key clue; they could only assist him in thinking and understanding the plot from another perspective. The real deal was to explore the Southern Dock.
Gu Yi took a taxi to the vicinity of the dock and settled into a random budget hotel.
"Let's begin."
Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes.
(You leave the hotel and head straight to the dock.)
(It's pitch black here, and you turn on your phone's flashlight.)
(The dock is filled with various containers, and you notice that the closer you get to the center of the dock, the more rusted the containers become.)
(You hear some strange sounds up ahead, like something gnawing on mulberry leaves.)
(You turn off the flashlight and cautiously look ahead from the shadows.)
(Ahead, there is a container covered in rust, with bits of rust peeling off and then recovering to its original shape. The eerie sound was coming from there.)
(You observe for a while and confirm that there is no one around.)
(You take out the eye patch and put it on.)
(Beneath the container, there's a large area of red flashing, indicating danger.)
(You put away the eye patch and check your grandma's lucky pouch.)
(You open the container, and it's pitch black inside.)
(You turn on your flashlight.)
(There's a straight staircase leading downward, and you begin to descend.)
(After about forty minutes, you finally reach the bottom, and the underground base's vastness exceeds your imagination.)
(There's a huge blast-proof door in front of you, but you don't have an access card to open it.)
(You hear footsteps behind the door.)
(You hide around the corner of the stairs.)
(The blast-proof door opens.)
(A woman in uniform comes out from the inside. She is smaller than you and doesn't seem to be a formidable opponent.)
(Hiding in the shadows, taking advantage of the woman's unpreparedness, you take out the knife and stab the woman in the back.)
(The woman's face contorts into a ferocious expression, her head turns 180 degrees, and she bites your neck, starting to suck blood.)
(Your vision goes completely dark.)
(You are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
"So, there are Weird creatures beneath the container? Looks like I'm in the right place."
That woman's strength was on par with that of an adult man, and being weak himself, he couldn't overpower her directly.
However, she seemed to be a power-type monster, not using psychic attacks and not having strong perception. She had a strong fondness for sucking blood.
For Gu Yi, this was good news.
Furthermore, the blast-proof door required an access card to open. If he could find a way to deal with the woman, he might obtain the access card...
"Let's try again."
(Deduction begins!)
(You leave the hotel.)
(You arrive at the entrance of the eerie container.)
(You observe your surroundings and notice a gantry crane not far away.)
(You go to the control panel of the gantry crane, familiarize yourself with the controls, and then use it to lift a cargo box.)
(You estimate the time, and the woman should be coming out soon.)
(You return to the container entrance, take the small knife, and cut your palm, letting the blood drip at the entrance.)
(You scatter the fresh blood all the way down to the gantry crane and place the black eye patch on the ground.)
(You bandage your wound, hide near the control panel, and silently wait for the woman to take the bait.)
(The woman indeed follows the blood trail and comes over, picking up the eye patch from the ground.)
(You immediately press the switch.)
(The container comes crashing down with a loud noise.)
(You lift the container again.)
(The woman is crushed into a bloody mess.)
(From the corpse, you find the access card and the blood-soaked black eye patch.)
(You return to the entrance of the secret base and use the access card to open the door.)
(You step into the base.)
(Through a long corridor, you see a sign.)
(On the left is the living area, and on the right is the breeding area.)
(You choose to go to the breeding area.)
(The deeper you go, the faster your heartbeat and the more incomprehensible murmurs fill your mind. Unspeakable forces begin to grow stronger.)
(You take a moment to rest, concentrate your mind, and successfully resist this wave of mental erosion.)
(You continue forward.)
(You hear a mechanical sound, accompanied by human groans of pain.)
(The Unspeakable's mental intrusion strikes again.)
