Yu Ruoli tightened her hold on the sketchbook.
[Travelers' Guide.]
Were these the [rules] mentioned in the Opening Lines?
In other words, at the start of the Game, the [Eye Realm] had sent each player to a different part of Sick Village. To leave their respective areas, or rather, to "dispel the fog," they could only clear their own "maps" in stages.
And her map was the Sick Village Medical Station.
Yu Ruoli carefully read the sign at the medical station's entrance several more times.
To sum it up, the conclusions she could draw were... there was definitely danger in the medical station. She could not make eye contact with the patients or respond to their calls, and she had to run away quickly if they approached. There were no doctors in the medical station, and once she went inside, anything that "looked" like a doctor was fake. She could not stay in the same place for too long, though she still could not determine exactly how long that meant. More importantly, there were sheets of clustered granules inside the medical station.
For some reason, the moment she saw the description "sheets of clustered granules," Yu Ruoli thought of frog eggs.
She had seen them beside a pond as a child: tiny black granules gathered into clusters, forming a densely packed sheet when spread out.
Although she knew there was life growing inside them, she had still felt an indescribable discomfort the first time she saw frog eggs.
Could the so-called disinfection mean getting rid of those "sheets of clustered granules"?
In any case, the rules explicitly mentioned two "paths to survival." If she wanted to rest safely, she had to disinfect the entire medical station. But how to disinfect it was another question, and she had no answer yet.
