Chapter 209 The Sealed Face

The key to the main gate is on Dr. Gao.

It’s not on the Security Captain.

Dr. Gao is always accompanied by several Undead Security Guards, so it won’t be easy to forcibly take the key from him.

Si Yan wasn’t in a hurry. Just because he couldn’t take it by force didn’t mean there were no other methods.

After the outdoor activity time ended, Si Yan returned to his room and took out a blueprint.

This was a blueprint of the entire Mental Hospital No. 15 that Si Yan had drawn from memory earlier.

There was one main building and several auxiliary buildings. Players couldn’t even leave the main building during these 7 days.

The patients also couldn’t leave the main building.

“There’s another gate outside,” Si Yan murmured.

Even if they left the main building, the outer gate was also crucial.

Indeed, many Gui Creatures could fly.

But Si Yan felt that after leaving the main building, it would be almost impossible for them to fly out of here!

Therefore, the key to the outer gate was also very important.

The key to the outer gate should not be on Dr. Gao.

“The leadership inspection is the day after tomorrow. I’ll use Case Solving then.”

Si Yan had an idea.

With some plans in mind, Si Yan rested.

The next morning, Si Yan spent some time and managed to deal with 5 more patients.

At this point,

He had dealt with 35 patients!

This didn’t mean they were all completely cured.

Some patients only received initial psychological intervention, but it was already enough to trigger hidden quests.

They all wanted to get out!

There were 14 left.

Excluding the White Queen, there were 13 left.

These 13 were all quite difficult types to handle.

“That’s enough for now.”

Si Yan decided to pause for a bit.

Today was the 5th day. For the next two days, he would focus on the White Queen.

As for the Old Lady who treated Si Yan as her grandson, there had also been some progress.

So, at noon, Si Yan once again arrived at room 316, where the White Queen was.

The White Queen still hadn’t changed much.

She seemed to be indulging in self-pity while looking in the mirror.

“Time to get to work!”

Si Yan didn’t waste time, took out his drawing paper, and continued to draw the White Queen’s face.

He still used the previous method.

Quickly sketching it out, then blowing it over.

One, two, three sheets.

Soon, three hours passed, and Si Yan drew nearly thirty sheets.

But not a single one managed to move the White Queen.

“Her face should be delicate and exquisite. I need to adjust it again.”

Si Yan continued to draw.

The White Queen had a fiery figure with graceful curves.

But she wasn’t the large-boned type like some Western women.

On the contrary, her bone structure was rather small.

If she were in front of Si Yan, she would appear somewhat petite.

This petiteness wasn’t overly delicate.

Her face should also be delicate and exquisite, but Si Yan had previously leaned too much towards just ‘petite.’

He decided to make improvements.

Soon, another drawing was completed by Si Yan.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host! Your Mystic Artist career has reached ‘Proficient’! All skills have been enhanced!”

Well, after drawing for so long, even though he hadn’t drawn her face, his Mystic Artist career level had increased.

Si Yan had been drawing for three days already.

Drawing dozens of sheets in three days, even with diminishing returns on rewards, his Mystic Artist career level had been raised to Proficient.

After his career level increased, Si Yan drew even faster.

After another hour of drawing, it still wasn’t working.

There were only two hours left until dark.

“It’s almost the 80th sheet,” Si Yan murmured.

He made another improvement, then blew the paper over.

As he blew it over, Si Yan was already drawing a new one.

Then he glanced at the White Queen out of the corner of his eye.

The paper quickly landed between the White Queen and the mirror, and the White Queen glanced at it.

Then she withdrew her gaze.

“No luck again.”

Si Yan was about to withdraw his gaze.

At this moment, the White Queen’s eyes in the mirror suddenly lit up.

Bright light appeared in her eyes!

Then, Si Yan saw her hand move, grabbing the paper!

Did he get the drawing right???

Si Yan had drawn eighty sheets these past few days, all to no effect.

This one, however, made the White Queen react.

It was obvious that this one must be similar to the White Queen’s original face!

Not exactly the same, but at least similar enough for the White Queen to have such a reaction.

Seeing that it was working, Si Yan stopped what he was doing and looked at the White Queen.

After the White Queen took the paper, she stared at it.

Her gaze seemed to be drawn to the paper.

After looking for a while, she was still looking.

Then, her brows furrowed slightly again.

“It should only be partially similar.”

Her action made Si Yan guess.

Partially similar!

The similar parts should be quite numerous.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have captured the White Queen’s attention.

But from her furrowed brow expression, there were definitely still some parts that weren’t quite right.

This was normal, as Si Yan was drawing based on her figure, eyes, etc.

“If you’re willing, I can perfect this portrait until I draw your face completely.”

Then, Si Yan equipped the Mystic Artist profession.

The Mystic Artist’s extremely high charm still gave Si Yan a significant advantage when dealing with female Gui Creatures.

Even if the other party wasn’t focused on looks, unless they were completely heartbroken by handsome men and genuinely disgusted.

Otherwise, high looks and high charm would always have some effect.

Hearing Si Yan’s words, the White Queen, who had been oblivious to Si Yan’s presence for the past few days, finally turned her head and looked at Si Yan.

Their eyes met.

Her clear blue eyes looked extraordinarily charming.

Her gaze was clear, with no hint of ulterior motives.

The current White Queen should also have some mental issues.

Her wisdom had also been stolen.

But Si Yan’s portrait had a clear effect.

She handed the paper to Si Yan.

She didn’t speak.

Si Yan understood her meaning, took the paper, and then went to her side.

This was the first time he had been so close to the White Queen.

Si Yan didn’t get too close.

The White Queen should have some kind of witchcraft on her; anyone who dared to touch her would turn into a sheep.

He didn’t know if this witchcraft was passive or active.

Si Yan placed the paper on the table, and the White Queen’s gaze also followed.

“Do you still remember what your face looks like?” Si Yan asked.

The White Queen shook her head.

She didn’t remember?

That’s right, her face was stolen.

She didn’t remember it.

But this ‘not remembering’ came with a prerequisite.

If she saw her own face, she would remember it.

Otherwise, the portrait Si Yan drew would be useless.

“Alright then, we’ll take it one step at a time. First, tell me, is this part correct?”

Si Yan took out a pen and pointed to her forehead.

The White Queen looked at her forehead, then nodded.

OK!

The forehead was correct.

“What about the nose?” Si Yan asked.

The White Queen shook her head at this point.

The nose was wrong.

“Is it too big or too small? If it’s too big, nod. If it’s too small, shake your head.” Si Yan said again.

The White Queen didn’t speak for some reason.

Since she wasn’t speaking, Si Yan naturally couldn’t force her to speak.

So, Si Yan communicated in the simplest way.

Nodding, shaking his head.

The White Queen nodded.

It was too big.

Si Yan asked several more questions about the nose.

After asking enough, Si Yan took out an eraser, erased the previously drawn nose, and then quickly drew with a pencil.

Just a few minutes passed, and Si Yan successfully redrew it.

“Is it like this?” Si Yan asked.

The White Queen looked for a few seconds, then pointed to a spot.

Si Yan understood.

He revised it twice more.

This time, the White Queen finally nodded.

OK.

Nose done!

Compared to what Si Yan had drawn before, the changes were actually not significant, only some subtle adjustments.

After fixing the nose, Si Yan moved on to the White Queen’s lips in the portrait.

However, this time, not much revision was needed.

Because the lips he drew happened to match the White Queen’s.

The style of the lips didn’t change much, though there were some subtle differences.

Si Yan had already drawn over eighty of them before.

This one finally matched.

Next were the eyebrows and face shape.

Si Yan asked questions while making revisions.

The White Queen was quite cooperative.

Her cooperation was limited to nodding or shaking her head, occasionally pointing out Si Yan’s mistakes with her finger.

With her cooperation, by the time it was almost dark, the entire portrait was finally completely perfected.

The White Queen looked at the portrait, her eyes now completely bright.

Clearly,

This portrait was now completely identical to her image!

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully drawing a crucial portrait! Rewarding 50 Career Charm Points! The White Queen’s trust has increased by 30%!”

The system’s notification appeared.

This portrait was indeed identical.

Then, Si Yan saw the White Queen’s face change.

It seemed she was preparing to revert to her own face.

However, this time, her face changed for a while, but she still didn’t succeed.

The White Queen didn’t give up and continued to transform.

“Your face should be sealed by the Magic Mirror. Don’t worry, when I come back tomorrow, you’ll be able to have your own face.” Si Yan told the White Queen.

She couldn’t restore her own face, which should be due to this reason.
