Doomsday survival game? I became a boss by picking up trash

Chapter 294

Although Sang Ning may have had a pitiful childhood, Song Yu showed her no pity.

Sang Ning didn't need her pity.

Rather than showing their wounds to others, Song Yu, Sang Ning, Sister Shen, and Xin Jia all preferred to process their own pain.

After leaving Nanshi, Song Yu followed the address found by the mechanical worm virus and tracked down the old capital.

The old capital was a near-abandoned city with a very small population.

However, this city has a very special feature.

The largest mental hospital in the country is located here.

This is a good match for Xiong Yuanfeng.

Song Yu stood at the gate of the old capital. The old capital had city gates, both in the past and now.

However, she had never been to the old capital and did not know what the city walls looked like in the past.

But it's unlikely to be like this now.

She looked up at the black city wall in front of her, speechless.

The city walls are black, but they are covered with graffiti of various colors.

The most common color is a striking red.

The sky over the old capital was a gloomy gray, as if a downpour would pour down at any moment.

The wind howled, and there seemed to be other sounds mixed in with it.

The screams and laughter were chilling.

A mental hospital...

Or should she just not go in?
Song Yu stroked his chin, somewhat hesitant, though he wouldn't say he was afraid.

She said she wasn't afraid... but now she does regret it a little; why did she have to cause so much trouble?

She's just making trouble out of nothing.

Song Yu squatted at the city gate. Indeed, having extraordinary strength can make one arrogant.

She thought of it again.

However, Song Yu has never been a very rational person. She has only been strong for a short time and has not had much time to mature.

Although Song Yu had many shortcomings, she also had many strengths, such as self-awareness.

Would you like to take a tour?

Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang in Song Yu's ears, like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
"?"

Song Yu turned her head and saw a young child, who looked to be a high school student.

She was wearing a hospital gown belonging to the First Mental Hospital of the Old Capital. Her face was pale and bloodless, and her dark eyes were staring straight at Song Yu.

Would you like to take a tour?

The girl asked again.

"It only takes ten points."

The girl held up one finger.

“I can take you to the safe zone of the old capital mental hospital.”

She said.

Are you a patient here?

Song Yu countered with a question.

"Ah."

The girl didn't seem to be hiding anything and nodded.

"Still undergoing treatment."

A slight smile curved her lips, a smile that looked somewhat eerie.

It makes one wonder what she really meant by "still undergoing treatment".

Song Yu was certain that the girl in front of him was an ordinary person, neither a player nor an emotional monster.

This piqued Song Yu's curiosity.

An ordinary person, without the protection of other players, is able to freely roam the lair of the emotion monsters.

As far as she knew, ordinary people on the national team didn't have this ability, like Cheng Xue.

Would you like to visit?

The girl showed no impatience, and her tone remained unchanged.

"I'll visit, but how do I pay you points?"

Song Yu asked.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy tickets."

The girl's hospital gown hung loosely, revealing her skin covered in scars as she walked.

Song Yu was unaware of the situation at the Old Capital Mental Hospital; he had only heard of its existence.

She raised an eyebrow as she looked at the information collected by the mechanical worm source virus.

This place is truly terrifying!
Since the establishment of the Old Capital Mental Hospital, no one has ever left, whether they escaped or recovered.

Once you're in the Old Capital Hospital, you're going to die here, even if it means your death.

Who sent Xiong Yuanfeng to such a place?
Song Yu never investigated the real identities of Sister Shen and the others; she wasn't interested.

However, even if Song Yu were interested now, there was nowhere to investigate, since everything had changed and the mechanical worms couldn't analyze anything.

The girl led Song Yu around the city wall, and soon they arrived at a graffiti depicting a giant eye.

"One visitor."

"They are tourists."

The girl emphasized this point.

A blood-red tear streak seeped from the eye on the wall, and the tear streak seemed to have a life of its own as it meandered and twisted on the city wall, eventually forming a ticket.

The girl tiptoed and took it down, handing it to Song Yu.

"Without a ticket, there is no way to leave the Old Capital Hospital."

Her voice was light and airy.

"Once I've given it to you and you're admitted to the Old Capital Hospital, I can't give it to anyone else."

the girl said.

She was reminding Song Yu that if he made a foolish mistake, there would be no way to change it.

"understood."

Song Yu put away the tickets and certificates and placed them close to his body.

There's no way around it; these kinds of things can't be stored in a spatial dimension, otherwise she would have just put them there.

After deducting ten points, the girl seemed to have received a bag of things from the ticket seller.

Song Yu didn't know what it was, but judging from the girl's appearance, it must be important.

Turning his gaze away, Song Yu noticed a small crack appearing in the otherwise seamless city wall, just big enough for him to pass through.

The old hospital was desolate; everything was old and dilapidated, covered in fallen leaves and dust.

Looking at the wide street in front of her, Song Yu felt that this place was not like a hospital, but more like a city.

Where would you like to visit first?

The girl looked up at Song Yu and asked.

"Anything is fine, you decide."

Song Yu shrugged indifferently.

"Then let's go to my house first."

The girl smiled.

"..."

Song Yu frowned. Her home?
It's another illusion.

Song Yu didn't refuse to follow behind the girl. Everything in this city was extremely dilapidated, from the streets to the houses, as if it had been abandoned for decades.

The flow of time in this city is also somewhat problematic.

Following the girl, they arrived at a dilapidated house. The moment the door opened, a heavy glass was smashed down on Song Yu!

"You're two minutes late! Where have you been gallivanting off to?!"

"Is he with those shady characters again?!"

"How many times have I told you to come home right after school? Why won't you listen?!"

"Kneel down and recite the family rules properly! For every wrong word, you'll get three slaps on the hand!"

Song Yu dodged the glass, and the next second she heard a gloomy and suppressed female voice coming from the sofa.

She looked up and saw a woman with her hair all combed back and wearing glasses, who bore a resemblance to the girl who had brought her in earlier.

"I'm sorry, Mom, there was a traffic jam on the way today."

A timid voice suddenly rang out on the floor, and a figure suddenly appeared on the previously empty floor. It was the girl, even thinner, with lifeless eyes.

Song Yu turned her head, and the girl who had brought her in was still there.

In the same space, there existed two identical people. Seemingly noticing Song Yu's gaze, the girl turned her head and smiled at her.

"Isn't it quite interesting?"

"You still dare to argue?!"

The woman was furious. She grabbed a stick and began to beat the girl mercilessly, one blow after another, as if she wanted to kill her!
"You disobey family rules, talk back to your mother, and associate with shady friends outside—have you wasted all your education?!"

The woman's eyes were bloodshot, and she gripped them even harder!

"I'm sorry, Mom! I'm so sorry, Mom! I'll never do it again!"

The girl's shrill screams rang out instantly, but this did not elicit any pity from the woman.

Her beatings and scoldings became even more brutal, making people shudder and feel sorry for her.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl lay on the ground, barely alive, while the woman had long since disappeared.

Song Yu and the girl remained indifferent throughout.

A visit is simply a matter of observing without speaking.

Suddenly, the girl staggered to her feet and walked past Song Yu and the girl toward the balcony.

Under their watchful eyes, she jumped off the balcony without hesitation.

"..."

Song Yu looked at the girl, then at the balcony.

"You're very lucky to be alive."

She genuinely admired him.

"Fortunately."

The girl smiled slightly, even though she had lost an arm and two legs.

The two did not talk much, because the scene that had happened before was repeating itself.

The girl's tragic past life was repeatedly replayed in front of Song Yu, with all sorts of depressing moments.

Even Song Yu, an outsider, felt very uncomfortable watching this.

Compared to these people, her life is actually very happy.

At least she still has her loving grandmother.

"Help me, sister, help me—"

After countless repetitions, the girl, who was once again beaten by her mother until she shed tears of blood, suddenly looked up and stared straight at Song Yu.

Her eyes were filled with despair, a profound and empty despair.

Song Yu is very powerful and has the ability to control his own life, but this girl does not.

She could only passively accept her fate, which was firmly in her mother's hands.

If he were in Song Yu's shoes, he would have been fully capable of changing the situation.
However, when faced with the girl's plea for help, Song Yu simply shrugged, looking as if he couldn't help her.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."

She said.

"Is this so?"

The girl lowered her head and murmured softly.

"Let's visit another place."

Song Yu turned to the girl and said that she was finding the scene a bit boring.

"it is good."

The girl glanced regretfully at herself on the ground; she hadn't gotten the escape card.

But it doesn't matter, this player is indeed hard to impress; her eyes showed not a trace of emotion.

Just as Xiong Yuanfeng said, they are cold-blooded and ruthless people.

Let's wait for the next one. Although this player is very valuable, the risk is also very high. It's better to play it safe.

The girl abandoned her ulterior motives and focused on leading Song Yu on the tour, preparing to see her off so she could fool the next person.

Song Yu observed the girl's actions. This old capital seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined.

This place was too orderly, completely different from the unclaimed mental hospital that Song Yu had imagined.

Shouldn't this place be bloody and insane?
Even if an emotion monster is born here, shouldn't that emotion monster possess these two characteristics?

This place... could it already be taken?
Song Yu thought this was very likely.

If the old capital mental hospital has an owner, then there is only one person left.

Xiong Yuanfeng.

The name flashed through Song Yu's mind; there was no escaping it.

That explains why that guy was able to owe so much money in Yongjin Mother Nest without being taken away.

Xiong Yuanfeng received very good treatment at Yongjin Mother Nest; she was actually quite free.

Although there is no salary, no accommodation, and no meals provided, the other players who are heavily in debt are not treated this way.

If the Old Capital Mental Hospital has already been taken over by Xiong Yuanfeng, then it makes sense.

Song Yu, Xiong Yuanfeng, Sang Ning—these people are indeed very valuable. Each one is comparable to a BOSS-level emotional monster, making them very valuable.

But yeah.

Given the nature of Yongjin's maternal nest, even if each of them were worth 100 yuan, it would still have to discount that amount, at most valuing them at one or two yuan.

"..."

This trip was a waste of time.

Song Yu looked around.

At this moment, she and the girl are in an operating room, observing an experimental surgery.

About the brain.

The doctor seemed to be experimenting with the effects of the brain on humans, and what the consequences would be if a human lost a part of their brain.

The consequences are undeniable; this person probably just wanted to vent their morbid desires.

After all, in a mental hospital, especially a place like the Old Capital Mental Hospital, there is absolutely no one in charge.

Despite the bloody scene, Song Yu and the girl remained calm.

Song Yu was currently thinking about Xiong Yuanfeng.

Assuming that Xiong Yuanfeng has already taken over the old capital, what about the emotional monsters here?
Song Yu was referring to the BOSS; she hadn't sensed the aura of a BOSS-level emotional monster at all.

Either this BOSS has special characteristics, or its strength is too great for Song Yu to detect.

Song Yu wasn't too worried about either of these possibilities. No matter how powerful an emotional monster was, it still had to abide by the rules within its bounds in this world.

Song Yu is now considering the third possibility.

Although this situation has never occurred before, given the special circumstances of the Old Capital Mental Hospital and Xiong Yuanfeng...

Song Yu suspected that Xiong Yuanfeng... was the emotional monster BOSS of the old capital.

The legendary hidden monster.

There is no clear evidence at the moment, but the thought inexplicably flashed through Song Yu's mind.

Song Yu trusted his intuition quite a bit.

She has to go back to Marriott City.

Song Yu thought this way, and that's what he did.

"I'm ending my visit now."

Song Yu turned to the girl and said.

"Ok."

The girl nodded, a barely perceptible sigh of relief in her heart.

We can finally get rid of this player.

She can't be considered human or monster; she exists in a rather unique way.

Being constantly by Song Yu's side put her under a lot of pressure.

Especially after Song Yu seemed to sense something, he would always release a subtle but powerful aura.

The girl obediently led Song Yu to process her discharge from the hospital. Song Yu's tickets were not lost, so leaving was a natural thing to do.

Just as they were leaving, a stumbling figure suddenly appeared on the previously empty street filled with wandering souls!

It's human.

"Save me, Song Yu!!!"

Upon seeing the two figures in front of the door, the person unleashed a powerful burst of strength and lunged at Song Yu!
The person who came was in a terrible state; his hands were crippled, his feet were lame, and his face was disfigured.

Many people can name Song Yu, but they are mostly players.

She specifically asked Song Yu to save her...

Does she have this confidence because she knows someone?

Upon hearing the voice, Song Yu hesitated before calling out the name of the person in front of him, whom he couldn't recognize at all.

"Bei Yuan?"

　The work is finally officially over!
