Chapter 71
“Senior.” Lin Yi quickly whispered into Qin Zhou’s ear, “It should be Wen Xiaoxuan.”
Jiang Man’s mental state was actually easy to analyze. After the two people’s inexplicable dispute, Qin Zhou calmed down.
Qin Zhou didn’t announce the Rules of Death and her mood changed from confusion to disappointment.
Perhaps during this period, Jiang Man had actually considered that this place wasn’t suitable for questioning Qin Zhou but seeing Qin Zhou leaving with Patient 303, her last glimmer of hope vanishing, the disappointment in her heart gradually fermented into anger.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back and accused Qin Zhou.
Among Yi Jiayue and Wen Xiaoxuan, Wen Xiaoxuan had the most similar reaction to Jiang Man.
When Wen Xiaoxuan took out the note, she was also anxious, disappointed and then angry.
“Alright.” Qin Zhou no longer looked between the gathered people. His eyes fell squarely on Wen Xiaoxuan.
Compared to Qin Zhou’s calmness, Lin Yi’s heart was beating like it was powered by a small electric motor.
Identifying the 16-8 Monster through Jiang Man’s emotions wasn’t a foolproof method. The 16-8 Monster could have just imitated Jiang Man’s dazed expression so Yi Jiayue couldn’t be completely ruled out.
But there was no other way. Between Yi Jiayue and Wen Xiaoxuan, Wen Xiaoxuan was much more suspicious than Yi Jiayue.
Qin Zhou knew the contents of the note, but he didn’t know to whom each note had been distributed.

Lin Yi cleared his throat. He was about to tell Qin Zhou his analysis. He wanted to hear Qin Zhou’s opinion but Qin Zhou spoke before him.

But Lin Yi had this vague feeling that something was wrong.
He stole a glance at Qin Zhou. He wondered if this feeling was because, having experienced the 2-6 Rule World, being able to find the 16-8 Monster so easily made him feel uneasy.
For the other participants, this was their first time entering a Rule World. They’ve only ever heard of the existence of the Rules of Death.
Therefore, they all looked at Qin Zhou, dazed and in fear. They had no idea what Qin Zhou was about to do.
Monsters will do everything possible to prevent the participants from doing a Replay. Qin Zhou didn’t waste any time. As Wen Xiaoxuan rushed over to kill him, he said, “This isn’t a sanatorium, it’s a psychiatric hospital. its full name is Yu City Huayuan District Psychiatric Hospital.”
After Qin Zhou opened his mouth, Lin Yi tensed and he watched Wen Xiaoxuan closely. If Wen Xiaoxuan charges in to stop Qin Zhou, he was to immediately step in and continue the Replay.
“Your name is Zhu Xinhua. You have a mother who didn’t treat you well and she cast an indelible shadow on your childhood.” Every time Qin Zhou said a word, Wen Xiaoxuan’s expression became even graver. All of the patients’ expressions were synchronized with hers and for a while, the entire canteen felt very strange.
“When you grew up, you got a decent job as a psychiatrist. After that, you got married and had children. Through you efforts, your career also rose steadily and you became the hospital’s head doctor.” Qin Zhou went on calmly, “But the good times didn’t last long. You were diagnosed with lung cancer and your wife left you at this time. Not only that, the friend for whom you served as guarantor to a loan, ran away, leaving you to carry his huge debt.”
“These blows caused serious psychological strain. You hated them and you didn’t want to die so tragically. These thoughts triggered extreme fantasies and you were immersed in your own imagination. Your mind split, creating another version of yourself. You killed a lot of people, your colleagues in the hospital, patients who you tricked, countless people.”
“But none of your experiments for immortality have ever been successful. You created this place and continued on your with experiments.” Qin Zhou snorted and said, “In order to maintain the order here, you made the Rules of Death. Oh, do you need me to continue and explain the Rules of Death?”
Wen Xiaoxuan’s expression had become more and more solemn and distorted. Her eye bulged as she stared at Qin Zhou; they looked as though they would fall out at any second.
When Chen Yang, Yi Jiayue and Jiang Man belatedly turned to look at Wen Xiaoxuan, they were taken aback by Wen Xiaoxuan’s face.
Her face was obviously still Wen Xiaoxuan’s but she also had the appearance of Doctor Zhu, as if the two faces had been blended together.
“There should be no point in continuing.” Qin Zhou looked at Wen Xiaoxuan. “It’s time that this ends.”
Chen Yang and the other two were surprised when they heard the word ‘end’. Fearful and uneasy, they couldn’t help looking at Wen Xiaoxuan again. They were waiting for Wen Xiaoxuan to nod and let them out of the 16-8 Rule World.
If it were up to them, they would never enter another Rule World ever again.
This entire experience had been a nightmare.
Wen Xiaoxuan’s face became more and more eerie and distorted. She glared angrily at Qin Zhou and it took a long time before she spoke.
It was no longer Wen Xiaoxuan’s voice but that of Doctor Zhu.
“Is that all you know?” She said with a pinched voice, “Is that all? Is that all you know!”
Lin Yi could hear that Wen Xiaoxuan was implying something by what she said; as if Qin Zhou hadn’t fully explained the main plot. It seemed that if Qin Zhou answered ‘yes’, everyone would be wiped out.
Although the 16-8 Rule World was already the third Rule World that Lin Yi has entered, this was the first time he was going to escape through a Replay.
He didn’t know how Replays went and although he felt uneasy, since Qin Zhou had initiated the Replay, he had kept silent all through out, not daring to disturb Qin Zhou or make trouble.
He could only keep moving his eyes back and forth between Qin Zhou and Wen Xiaoxuan, his brain spinning rapidly, thinking about what they’d missed.
The other three people also felt the tension. Their faces were pulled taut, they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
Qin Zhou resisted his habit of furrowing his brows. He kept calm as he said, “I know everything about this place. If you don’t believe me, you can ask any question and I assure you, I have the answer.”
Lin Yi curled his fingers.
He knew that Qin Zhou had also sensed Wen Xiaoxuan’s implication and realized that they had missed something. But Qin Zhou, like him, had no idea about what they could have possibly missed.
So Qin Zhou didn’t answer directly but used Wen Xiaoxuan’s words to see if Wen Xiaoxuan could give them a hint.
In front of all the participants, Wen Xiaoxuan became even angrier because of Qin Zhou’s self-confidence. Her face had completely turned into Doctor Zhu’s and black mist overflowed from her body in an endless stream.
Wen Xiaoxuan didn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe that the world she created would be destroyed by her prey. She rushed towards Qin Zhou. Her body stretched as she ran, her face almost sticking to Qin Zhou’s.
Qin Zhou was faster than Wen Xiaoxuan and he pushed Lin Yi a little further away.
He wasn’t going to let Wen Xiaoxuan, who was on the verge of losing it because of her rage, accidentally injure Lin Yi.
Qin Zhou’s hands were strong and Lin Yi was caught off guard. He staggered back a few steps. When he managed to steady himself and raise his head, he saw Wen Xiaoxuan pointing at the patients whose expressions were in sync with her own.
“I have a split mind, you’re right.” Wen Xiaoxuan’s eyes bulged. “So where is the other me? Do you know that too? Do you know that too!”
