Calvin's mind madly spun.

As far as he could remember, after taking the keycard from this room. The Benevolent Father would appear in the corridor just outside the door. He would roam through the corridor while carrying his daughter and singing a children song and the only way to escape him was to wait for him to pass by, or use the darkness of the corridor to one's advantage.

But this only happened after one acquired the keycard for the Security Room.

They were now in the room, but the keycard was nowhere to be found.

'Will that monster appear in the corridor outside even though we still don't have the keycard?'

Calvin thought to himself.

"What do we do next, Calvin?" Hugo asked.

Calvin gestured for them to close their mouths with his hand as he walked towards the door of the room.

Sticking his ear close to the wooden door. He scanned for any movements outside the door.

There was none.

Calvin heaved a sigh of relief.

At the least, despite the huge increase in difficulty. It seemed that Fivecent wasn't entirely heartless.

If the Benevolent Father was indeed roaming in the corridor, then they might as well just commit suicide.

After all, after turning on the electricity they still needed to find where that keycard went.

Calvin turned to look at Hugo and was about to answer his question when Jannette suddenly cried out loud.

"I found something!"

"What is it?" Calvin looked at her and discovered that she was standing in front of an opened closet.

Within the closet were cleanly folded hospital gowns. They must be the gowns worn by the patients in this asylum.

"What is that?" Nicholas, Roy, Ray, and Phillip turned to look at Jannette's direction.

Nicholas lightly chuckled and said, "Oh, hospital gowns? I wonder what will happen if we wore those gowns and pretended that we were mad like the patients here, hahaha..." A silly smile could be seen on his lips, but Calvin who was wondering about what was the purpose of the clean hospital gowns inside the closet suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah!"

"That's it!"

"So, that's the reason why there are hospital gowns in this room!"

"Wha... Come on, man... Don't just shout like that, you almost gave me a heart attack." Nicholas complained.

Hugo and the others looked at him and urged him to speak with their eyes.

Calvin cleared his throat and explained, "Fivecent would never place useless items in a room. That includes the files and the computers in this asylum. They must be useful, one way or another. I haven't heard of any hospital gowns in this place, but since we can clearly see that there are hospital gowns. There is only one explanation for their existence..."

"Is it because they can be used?" Medea interjected at this moment.

"Yes... Fivecent may be thinking the same as Nicholas. They placed these gowns here because they want us to wear it, they want us to become the embodiment of insanity itself to escape the madness of this place." Calvin replied.

Rose stared right at him and said, "That should not be... the case, right? Why would they turn their potential employees into madmen like the patients here...?"

Calvin shook his head, "I don't know. If I do, then I would've already told you all. But since there is no harm to testing out this theory, then how about we try it? Just wear the hospital gowns over our ordinary clothes so we can rip them off as soon as we feel the need to do so."

Ray nodded his head, "That makes sense, all right. Let's wear them. Can I choose first?"

"Choose what? They look the same. Just take one randomly." Jannette lightly chuckled hearing Ray's words.

Ray stared right at her and the gazes of the two paused in mid-air.

"Cough..."

Scarlett broke their small world with a cough.

"This is no time for games and romance, I hope that both of you can understand..."

"Wha-What romance are you talking about?"

Jannette covered her face in a panic.

Ray also scratched his head awkwardly.

Calvin stared at this scene with a bitter smile on his face.

"These bastards... Do they really have any sense of danger at all? We're in an unknown situation here, yet they are still taking the time to flirt."

Calvin could only shake his head.

He then took a hospital gown for his own and wore it above his clothes.

Then, he had everyone take a sit on the long table situated near the cabinets.

"Jannette, bring the files that you've gathered here."

Jannette stood up and handed over the files to Calvin.

[Mount Spirit Sword Asylum Psychiatric Report.]

[Case Number: 69]

[Patient Initials: A.G.G]

[Consultation Date: 14/07/2020]

[Patient Age: 32]

[Gender: Male]

[Observing Physician: Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovsky]

[Mental Therapy Status]

[Hormone changes beyond acceptable Stage 2 changes detected. It is recommended to lower the next dosage.]

[Diagnostics]

[Tests revealed fluid accumulation in the lungs. MRI Scans consistent with the previous and expected reports.]

[Notes]

[The team interviewed Andre in restraints, following his self mutilations. The restraints had to be modified to accommodate his unusually huge biceps and legs. Excessive dermal eruptions all over his body are noted consistent with the previous diagnosis...]

[He often breaks both of his feet whenever he has a chance. He is now wearing specially modified shoes for his broken feet. He complained that the place was filthy even when he's in a sterile chamber, so he ripped off his nose to clean the air...]

[He now has a habit of singing. His voice is charming and he can seem to capture the hearts of the listeners. This is quite interesting, it is recommended to look more into these changes.]

[The mental trauma that he sustained after his serial murders seem to be slowing down his progress in Stage 2. His predominant fixation on keeping the place clean seems to be consistent with his habit of thoroughly cleaning the crime scene of his murders. He possesses superhuman strength and durability as a side-effect of the therapy...]

[A combination of chemical suppressants and physical restraints is highly recommended.]

"T-This... This is the patient report for that monster earlier? It says here that the patient likes to sing..."

Jannette who now had the leeway to read through the documents was astonished when she saw the contents.

"It's a good thing that you gathered this, Jannette. Now, I think we will be able to elude the eyes of that big bastard..."

Calvin lightly smiled.

This was the first time that he had encountered a document with a patient report.

Back then, the contents of the documents that they managed to gather were mostly of the asylum and its facilities.

"Has a fixation on keeping the place clean. In other words, if we are clean then the Butcher won't bother us? But what does being clean mean? Is this some kind of slang, or a code? Or does it literally mean what it says?" Calvin's eyes landed on the hospital gowns that he and the others were wearing.

The white hospital gowns had no blemish whatsoever on its surface.

In fact, it had a pleasant smell to it and it was also comfortable to wear.

'I see... Now, I can see why that bastard appeared so early in the final phase and why there are clean hospital gowns as well as patient reports. It's to show the challengers that despite the presence of the seemingly impossible to conquer mountain, known as the Butcher. They must not despair for there was a solution to every problem...'

'All that's needed to be done was to actively search for that solution...'

'Fivecent... It seems that you're not really that bad at all!'

Calvin inwardly cried out in excitement.

Afterwards, he then gave his plans to the others.

He also gave them a stern warning to never stain any part of the hospital gown and to keep it as clean as possible.

Then, after a few minutes of preparing their hearts for the horrors that were yet to unfold.

Calvin and the others finally came out of the room into the terrifying dark corridors of the asylum.

Their destination?

Onwards to the flooded basement!
