Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 34: The Doll in the Secret Room (2)

"Another riddle for me to guess?"

Gu Yi opened his eyes and scratched his head in distress.

The doll's words made no sense at all, often evading the actual question.

Gu Yi had already figured out most of the story about "I" and her mother, but even so, he couldn't extract any more information from her mother.

There were still the Kangaroo Head mask and Elephant Head mask left to try.

Perhaps this time, there would be a different outcome?

Gu Yi's current mental power was 35/50, and during the second deduction, he only spent 5 mental power, greatly improving his deduction efficiency and saving mental energy consumption.

"Backtracking!"

(Backtracking begins!)

(You are standing in front of the door to the secret room.)

(You push the door open.)

(The doll is screaming hysterically.)

(You put on the kangaroo mask.)

(You: Ma'am, please calm down.)

(Doll: Are you here to deliver something to me?)

(You: Yes, may I ask for your name...)

(Doll: I... I forgot.)

(You: What about Toto? Do you know her?)

(Doll: Toto? Toto is my daughter.)

(You: Where is Toto now?)

(Doll: She... No, you're not a delivery person. Who are you?)

(You: I am the delivery person. Here's a letter for Toto.)

(Doll: Who sent it?)

(You: Chongshan Hospital.)

(Doll: How is that possible? How is that possible? She's been dead for a long time. Who would deliver something to her? Ah...)

(The doll lets out a piercing scream.)

(Blood starts streaming from your ears.)

(You gradually lose consciousness.)

(You are dead.)

(Deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes and pondered for a moment.

The kangaroo person was just an ordinary delivery worker and would not have much interaction with the mother of "I". Trying to communicate with the kangaroo mask would surely lead to no progress.

If it were the elephant mask...

(Backtracking begins!)

(You are standing in front of the door to the secret room.)

(You push the door open.)

(The doll is screaming hysterically.)

(You put on the elephant mask.)

(The doll becomes even more agitated after seeing your face.)

(Doll: It's you! You killed my child!)

(You: You've mistaken me.)

(Doll: I can't be mistaken. My daughter was hiding under the treatment pod, and you crushed her like a little bug. You have no compassion. You are a monster, just like everyone in Chongshan Hospital. Monsters!)

(The doll flies at you and snaps your neck.)

(Everything turns pitch black.)

(You are dead.)

(Deduction ends!)

Gu Yi pinched his nose and sighed with lingering fear.

Now, the identity of the doll has been confirmed. This fellow is indeed the mother of "I".

The true cause of death of "I" is also almost certain. "I" was mistaken for a bug and beaten to death by the elephant repairman.

--Just like the scene of my own death in a previous deduction.

However, there are some parts of this that are not quite believable and can only be taken as temporary references.

The main reasons are these two points:

1. The doll's mental state is very poor, and she is likely speaking nonsense. Gu Yi can only believe half of what she says.

2. According to the Bloody Diary, "I" has reached some kind of cooperation with the "Unspeakable." It shouldn't be easy for the elephant repairman to just beat "I" to death.

Furthermore, as soon as the doll saw him for the first time, she immediately mistook him for "I."

This led Gu Yi to come up with a bolder speculation.

--Actually, the role he is playing is an entirely different species, not belonging to the patients or medical staff, but belonging to the same species as "I."

Therefore, when he asked Dr. Li if "I am of the same kind as them," he responded with "yes and no."

The character he is playing may have severe cognitive impairments, to the point where he sees all species as humans and uses different masks to distinguish between them.

At the same time, he may possess powerful mimicry abilities, like a Ditto that can transform into any other species.

All the clues in the hospital are sufficient to support this theory.

"Yes, that's it."

Gu Yi clenched his fist, feeling that he had reasoned out the truth about his own identity.

Although he didn't know what significance this conclusion held, Gu Yi was confident that it would be useful in the future.

Gu Yi decided not to explore the underground secret room any further.

The doll in "I's mother's" hands must also be an important prop, but with the clues and items he currently had, it seemed insufficient to obtain the doll.

He would temporarily set aside the puzzle of "I's mother" for now and focus on stealing the elephant mask.

Following the path deduced earlier, Gu Yi successfully reached the third-floor office. He took out a red pill and swallowed it, then successfully picked up the elephant mask and placed it in his kangaroo pants.

Previously, Gu Yi had conducted an experiment.

As long as he could pick up the elephant mask, even if he no longer transformed into a monster, he could still continue wearing the mask.

Gu Yi hid in a corner of the office and searched around.

In the back of the office, he found a large package of toolboxes.

There were a total of ten toolboxes, all hidden in the farthest corner of the office, covered in dust as if they had never been used. Inside, there were various tools, but each one was extremely heavy, making it difficult for him to lift even when he transformed into a monster.

Gu Yi put on the elephant mask.

Now he could successfully pick up the tools from the toolbox.

After contemplating for a while, Gu Yi eventually took out all the items from the toolbox, hiding them all in his kangaroo pants. No one knew if these items would be useful in the end, but having them on hand was better than not having them.

Gu Yi restored the toolbox and suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He leaned against the wall, panting, waiting for the effect of the medicine to subside and transform back into his human form.

One of the three red pills had been used up.

Gu Yi felt a pain in his chest. He unbuttoned his shirt and looked down.

There was a patch of black fur on his chest. Clearly, using the red pills had severe side effects, accelerating his mutation process.

"Tsk... If I'm not mistaken, if I consume the third red pill, I might completely transform into a monster and not be able to return," Gu Yi murmured.

The elephant mask was a crucial item that Gu Yi absolutely needed, and he couldn't think of a second way to obtain it besides taking the pills.

The remaining two red pills could only be used in extremely dire situations.

Dadadada...

Footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Gu Yi's face turned pale as he quickly hid in a corner, listening carefully.

At least two people were passing by in the corridor outside.

Could it be the repairmen coming?

No, it's not right. Today isn't a payday, so they should have left the hospital already!

"Brother, stop it!"

A deep voice came from outside the corridor.

Gu Yi's heart skipped a beat—this voice was unmistakably the voice of the shop owner.
