Every corridor had been hand-drawn by Patient 7003. With his powerful memory, he had sketched the Front Building and Rear Building of Lishan Hospital. But Question Mark's hand-drawn map differed somewhat from the actual hospital. Most of the wards had been blacked out, as though occupied by shadows.
Was this the map he wanted to trade with me in the dream? Was he going to lead me out of the hospital?
The map was still hidden in the ward, but neither Gao Ming nor Question Mark from six months ago was in the hospital anymore, which meant they had both escaped.
How did I leave six months ago? What happened between Question Mark and me? Why did he leave that message?
Gao Ming and Question Mark were both patients whom Lu Zang valued highly at Lishan Hospital, yet they seemed to have taken completely different paths.
Gao Ming had entered the Tunnel and, largely following Lu Zang's plan, widened the loopholes in Fate step by step. Question Mark, however, seemed to have escaped Lu Zang's control and awakened from the "dream" ahead of time.

He stamped down hard. With the Flesh-and-Blood Immortal protecting him, Gao Ming had no fear of ordinary curses.
Blood seeped from the eye patterns
