Chapter 66: Seriously Ill Grandma
Sister's painting and father's key, these two plot items can only increase the plot exploration by 1%.
However, this eye patch actually provides 10% exploration degree.
Based on the experience from the previous copy, the eyepatch may play a decisive role.
Gu Yi put on the eye patch again, but nothing happened . Gu Yi didn't dare to be careless, he hid the eye patch close to his body, no one knew when this thing would work.
Gu Yi left the old house and walked straight towards the hospital.
Gu Yi did not spare any energy along the way and basically ran all the way because he didn't know when he would be forcibly teleported to the cram school.
"call……"
Gu Yi held his knees and gasped.
He took out his phone and checked the countdown, [5 days, 23 hours, 04 minutes]. It took him 20 minutes to run from the old house to the hospital.
Gu Yi rested for a while before walking into the hospital.
It is just the beginning of summer and the weather is not very hot yet, but the air conditioning in the hospital has been turned on for cooling. Gu Yi couldn't help shivering.
He picked up his phone and looked at it.
The countdown is still counting down. The flow of time here is the same as that in the old house. I must hurry up.
"Hello, where is Han Chunzhu?"
"Ward A on the third floor of the inpatient department."
"Thanks."
Gu Yi asked for the location and immediately climbed the stairs to the ward.
It is obviously a small town in the mountains, but I didn't expect it to be so crowded. The patients and doctors in the ward didn't have dead eyes like the small town residents.
Gu Yi speculated.
This place is the same as the old house, it is a place where the surface world and the inner world meet, but this place is a little closer to the surface world, so one's ability of deduction cannot be brought into play.
Although the hospital in front of you is located in a small town around the island, in reality it is most likely a Class III hospital in a big city.
"Hello, where is Han Chunzhu's ward?"
"Han Chunzhu? Are you her relative?"
"right."
" Han Chunzhu's medical expenses have not been paid since she was admitted to the hospital. It has been overdue for almost a month. You should be her grandson, right? Where are your parents?"
Gu Yi was confused and could only perfunctorily say, "They will be here soon. Can you tell me where the patient is first?"
"None of you paid for the bed, so she lives in the corridor over there, facing the door to the water room."
"Thanks."
Gu Yi nodded and ran towards the place the nurse pointed.
There was a lonely bed opposite the door of the water room.
A skinny old lady was lying on the hospital bed, her wrists were covered with bruises, probably from too many intravenous drips.
The old lady was so thin that she was unrecognizable, and Gu Yi didn't know whether she was his grandmother or his great-grandmother.
——I can only guess based on my feeling.
"grandmother?"
Gu Yi called softly and touched the back of the old lady's hand.
The old lady opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the ceiling in confusion.
"it's me."
The old lady turned her head and looked at Gu Yi, and her gray eyes suddenly became bright.
"Xiaoyi, you finally came to see grandma?"
"How did you become like this?"
Han Chunzhu struggled to raise his hand and touched Gu Yi's face. "Kid, how did you become like this? Have you suffered a lot?"
Gu Yi frowned. Was he not in good health in the old lady's eyes?
"You haven't come out from there yet?" Han Chunzhu suddenly grabbed Gu Yi's hand and said word by word: "Child, go quickly..."
"Leave? Where to?"
"Your parents are no longer your parents." Han Chunzhu had tears in her eyes, "They have already betrayed their consciences. You should leave them as soon as possible."
"What do you mean, can you explain it clearly?"
"I'm telling you, Gu Jianjun is not..."
Han Chunzhu was halfway through his speech when Gu Yi suddenly felt a palpitation.
He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a tide of void surging towards him.
Gu Yi held his breath and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in the cram school classroom.
He blinked again. The sun outside was setting and his classmates were carrying their backpacks and preparing to go home.
【5 days 13 hours 07 minutes】
It's already evening.
Gu Yi did not rush to carry his schoolbag home. He sat in his seat and thought carefully about what he had just seen and heard in the hospital.
"My grandma said that my parents had betrayed their consciences and that they were no longer my parents. She also asked me to leave them... So, a family of three means me, my sister, and my grandma?"
The sudden joining of grandma made Gu Yi overturn the speculation of "family of three". Neither "I" nor my sister was a ghost, and neither of them was the one excluded.
——Parents are the two people excluded!
My grandmother was seriously ill but could only sleep in the corridor of the hospital. The doctor told me that she still owed the hospital medical bills.
If all this is true, then my parents are indeed bad guys who have betrayed their conscience!
In addition, grandma also said, "You haven't come out of there yet."
This directly proves my guess that the island town is an illusory world.
but……
Can you really trust what grandma says?
So far, my parents have not done anything to hurt me, and they are no different from ordinary parents.
The only thing that concerned Gu Yi was that they had the same strange abilities as his sister.
In the inner world, my parents and sister all have strange abilities. Do they have the same abilities in the outer world?
The last words that grandma said should have been intended to hint him how to escape from the inner world, but in the end she didn't make it clear due to lack of time. In the end, Gu Yi vaguely heard grandma say his father's name.
Maybe I should start the investigation from my father's perspective?
Gu Yi pondered for a moment and decided to go to the hospital again to check.
When Gu Yi arrived at the hospital, he found that it had been changed from a Class 3 hospital into a small clinic. When he took out Han Chunzhu's admission certificate, it immediately turned into a pile of ashes.
"I see. The admission certificate is just a one-time ticket. It allows me to temporarily leave the roundabout town and go to the hospital where my grandmother is."
Beep, beep, beep——
Gu Yi's cell phone rang. It was his mother calling.
"Why haven't you gone home yet?"
"It's a bit hard to wait for the bus today."
"come back quickly."
"It'll be home in about ten minutes."
"We'll wait for you to come back for dinner."
After Gu Yi hung up the phone, he didn't go home, but wandered around for ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, Gu Yi immediately returned home.
As Gu Yi had guessed, parents were the factor that determined the flow of time. This was another rule that could be used. It could greatly improve one's mobility efficiency and reduce physical energy consumption.
When I got home, my family was already sitting at the dining table.
Gu Yi picked up the bowl and started eating. At this time, he was not clear about his parents' attitude towards his grandmother, so he decided to use his innate ability to ask about his grandmother.
