"Pencil? The periodic table? What's the connection between those two?" I muttered, continuing to search everywhere. When I found the cabinet the person had mentioned, I noticed a piece of cardstock on top of the wooden board. I picked up a pencil and scribbled hard on it, and to my surprise, 'nh' actually appeared on the paper.
I was heartbroken. I tightened my grip on her arm, unable not to let go for a long time. "Don't worry, I will fulfill your dying wish. This is also a mission we must complete. Thank you for the clues you provided. Rest in peace!"
I gently closed the female doctor's eyes and helped her lie back down on the bed. At this moment, she looked as if she were merely asleep, but I knew she could never leave this place...
After leaving the ward, I searched around, hoping to find the plant the female doctor had mentioned. However, I didn't think it would be that easy, as the surrounding paths seemed endless, and this was still within the hospital grounds. The female doctor had said that thing was in some laboratory, so I needed to find that laboratory first. After passing through the ward, I carefully moved from a balcony to another building. This step was a bit dangerous, but for someone with my professional training, it was nothing. If only I had my grappling hook with me, I could have easily gotten there.
This time, I used a protruding edge below the balcony as leverage to cross over to the adjacent building. I opened a window and entered the hospital's dispensing room. It was the first time I had personally inspected such a place. I found many damaged medicine bottles inside, with pills spilling out. It looked like no one had cleaned them for a long time. Many cabinets and chairs around were overturned, as if the place had been violently ransacked, or perhaps someone had been searching for something here but found nothing.
The reason I concluded they hadn't found what they were looking for was that I noticed a cabinet that had been severely beaten with a long stick. It seemed as if someone had vented their frustration here. I forced open a door along the edge and discovered what appeared to have once been a hidden compartment. I didn't know what it had stored, but the lock on the outside was smashed. Yet, it seemed they hadn't found what they were looking for, which made them violently beat the cabinet in anger? Or did they take the item and then smash the cabinet in excitement?
