Entering the Jinglin Sanatorium as a "patient" means one is subject only to the rules of the sanatorium—this simple statement made Yu Sheng instantly think of a possible scenario.
“…That independent investigator named ‘Sun Chen’—could he be using the Jinglin Sanatorium’s ‘rules’ to avoid the influence of that ‘tower’?”
“I guessed the same,” Little Red Riding Hood nodded. “After all, he posted before saying he’d been entangled by that tower, even suspecting part of his mind was trapped in nightmares linked to it. In that case, he must have already sought help from familiar alien doctors and psychics, maybe even the Special Operations Bureau. Hiding in the Jinglin Sanatorium could be someone's advice to him.”
Yu Sheng recalled their previous exploration in the “dark alley” with Little Red Riding Hood and the King, remembering the old bookstore corroded by something, and the bizarre, chaotic dreams he had at dawn.
“Looks like we need to visit that sanatorium,” he said slowly, “and meet that independent investigator in person to confirm the situation.”
“Yeah, that’s why I came to you first. Getting into Jinglin Sanatorium isn’t easy; it’s a special place. Visiting requires special procedures, which I can’t handle, but that should be no problem for you.”
