Own Advice
When Lin Yu realized that "Memory are no longer reliable," and considering that [Closed Mind] had been used for 23 minutes, Lin Yu quickly came to a conclusion.
Although he currently understands that he has only recently "joined the Instance".
But that's probably not actually the case.
He must have spent at least half an hour in the Instance.
Realizing this, Lin Yu quickly began to think.
"Since I actively shut down the [Closed Mind] buff, it's very likely that my past self foresaw that I would lose my Memory now."
"Given my current situation where I 'don't know what to do'... if it were me, I would leave a clue—no, that's me."
"Think about what I would do..."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, and soon came up with an answer.
He looked at Max in front of him, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem, since you're friends of the Night Watcher, how about we team up temporarily?"
Max replied optimistically, "Of course, that's exactly what I plan to do!"
Seeing that Lin Yu didn't react, she moved a little closer. "Brother, I know you're an expert, with top-notch combat and reasoning skills, but you won't be at a disadvantage teaming up with me."
"Don't underestimate me just because I'm Tier 1 'Thief'. Among the 'Night Watcher,' my scouting and information gathering abilities are top-notch—with the two of us teaming up, we're guaranteed to wreak havoc in this Instance!"
Max spoke confidently, and Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
"Oh? You're good at gathering information?"
"Could you please find out what's going on on this floor and bring back a summary for me?"
"Gathering some information might be more beneficial for our next steps!"
"Since you're a master of the Night Watcher, then there's definitely no problem."
Max was initially hesitant when he heard Lin Yu's words.
However, because Lin Yu praised her at the end, Max herself felt a little bad about the business.
"It's really nothing serious, and it's something I'm good at... so leave it to me!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand smugly, then quietly pressed herself against the wall. "Let me go around and come back to report to you, okay?"
Strangely enough, after Max pressed herself against the wall, even though Lin Yu knew she was there, he subconsciously wanted to ignore her.
It's probably because Max used some kind of Item.
This may also be the source of her confidence as a "thief" and as someone who claims to have one of the best information gathering abilities among the "Night Watcher."
But...
Lin Yu wasn't really concerned about whether the other party could bring back any valuable information.
Of course, it would be best if they could bring back any useful information.
But it doesn't matter if I can't bring it back.
Lin Yu did all this to get Max out of the way.
After confirming that Max had left, Lin Yu retreated to his room and gently closed the door.
Then...
He pulled out the [Ancient Notebook] from his pocket!
That's right. According to Lin Yu's plan, if he were to leave any message for his future self, he would definitely choose this Notebook, which clearly states in the [Item] description that it won't be damaged!
Although many new features have been developed recently, Lin Yu will always remember that when he first got this Notebook, he intended to use it as a tool for information transmission.
It couldn't be more perfect for this [Instance].
In fact, Lin Yu felt that even if he didn't find any information left by his past self in the Notebook, rather than suspecting that it was left somewhere else or that there was no Memory erasure, Lin Yu was more inclined to suspect that before the Memory erasure, he was in a very urgent situation and didn't have much time to take out the [Ancient Notebook] to leave information in writing.
But this did not happen.
Because...
This [Ancient Notebook] does indeed contain messages left by himself.
The text written in this Instance may have been written several hours or tens of minutes ago— Lin Yu had no idea of the specifics.
In short, on a page in the middle of this Notebook, Lin Yu saw his own handwriting neatly written in the very center: [One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest].
It can't be wrong.
Lin Yu let out a breath and turned to the page after those five words.
The words on this page completely confirmed Lin Yu's conjecture.
"Since they've chosen to open the Ancient Notebook now, it's very likely they've indeed guessed what they're about to encounter."
"Yes, the Memory of this Instance are incomplete. This Instance periodically cleans and alters the Memory of participating Player through some means."
"The specific methods cannot be written down at this moment."
"Moreover, rather than 'erasing Memory,' based on the information we have so far, I think it's more like 'reincarnation.'"
"In summary, the information available to the public at this moment, as of the time of writing, regarding this Instance is as follows."
"The other two Player in this Instance besides me are Player 'Night Watcher,' one named 'Max,' Tier 1 'Thief.' She's a bit careless but trustworthy, and we can try to use her, but her abilities are indeed limited and her personality is rather unreliable, so we can't rely too much on her."
"The other one is 'Robin,' whom I've met before. He's Tier 3 'Painter,' and he seems generally credible and reliable, but based on our interactions, he seems to be hiding something. We need to be wary of him to some extent."
"In addition, the Instance that have been used in this instance and are temporarily on cooldown Item [Chat's Supplies], [Rage Spray], [One -Infallible Revolver], and [One-sentence Lie Detector], but their usage has been restored through 'Fraud'."
"[Closed Mind] is a deliberate act of shutting down; preserving Memory and ensuring one's safety from mental attacks are not entirely advantageous in the long run."
"This Instance is located in the world of 'Mist Island,' specifically on Mist Island 37th Island. This information can be used to gain the trust of other Player and secure better deals."
"Additionally: This Instance's Asylum building has five floors; the second, third, and fourth floors are wards, with patients' levels of danger increasing accordingly."
"The first floor houses offices for various Doctor and management personnel, as well as treatment rooms, examination rooms, and medication storage rooms."
"The fifth floor houses treatment rooms with more advanced equipment. Treatment on the first floor is simply consultation and medication, while surgery and more radical therapies can be performed on the fifth floor. Please be very careful."
"In addition, most of the medical staff monsters in this Instance are not much stronger than the Doctor in the confinement room, but still, be careful and try to avoid fighting the medical staff."
"At the same time, do not try to provoke patients wearing hospital gowns—you can try to have simple conversations with them, but absolutely do not lay a hand on them!"
